The war drums are like thunder, and the blood is overflowing in the green mountains and lush forests.
The 50 million Western Chu army, divided into thousands of legions of varying sizes, launched a fierce attack on the Li army that filled the mountains and forests.
The Imperial Guards of Dali also lived up to their name. They numbered more than a million in number, only one-fiftieth of the army of Western Chu. They were still fearless of death and refused to retreat even an inch.
The fall of each Dali Imperial Guard basically represents the fall of ten, or even twenty or thirty Western Chu soldiers. This is already a casualty ratio between ten and twenty times.
If it were changed to other circumstances and battle situations, the Western Chu army might have already begun to prepare to evacuate or be defeated. However, the casualty gap of more than ten or twenty times did not make Zhou Yin and other Western Chu generals waver in their fighting spirit. Instead, they ordered the drums to be beaten.
, the offensive is even stronger.
In a word, the Western Chu army can afford it. Even if the 50 million troops are used up, they can continue to ask for help and mobilize troops from various cities in Western Chu to supplement.
The Li army is not so easy to replenish, otherwise it would not have attempted to stop the Western Chu army with just a million elites!
Of course, Zhou Yin and other Western Chu generals were also shocked by the powerful fighting power of the Li army.
You know, the Li army is facing an outnumbered enemy and is under siege, but it can still maintain this casualty ratio. If the numbers are similar, wouldn't the casualty ratio be greater?!
Worthy of being called the Imperial Guard of Great Li!
The pungent smell of blood obscured the fresh scent of the mountains and forests, and hideous corpses covered the forests, bushes, and mountain roads.
"Two dragons grab the pearl!"
"Dance of Dragons!"
Ding Yanping, who is holding two spears, is considered a great monk even though he has just entered the Sanxian Realm. Among the generals in the middle domain, his cultivation level is not very strong. However, Ding Yanping has extraordinary combat power and brave methods.
Coupled with the guards of the Guards, he is invincible. The two spears in his hands are like two dragons threatening life. If they are rubbed, they will be injured, and if they are serious, they will die!
Even though he was as strong as the second Sanxian realm... the Xichu general in the Zhizang realm was no match for Ding Yanping. He was stabbed to death by Ding Yanping in less than ten rounds, which shocked many Western Chu troops and generals!
"This general is very brave!"
Zhou Yin, who did not participate in the war but paid close attention to the situation, could not help but praise him repeatedly.
The generals of Western Chu were silent, and some of them nodded in agreement.
Because of the relationship between the overlords of Western Chu, the Immortal Dynasty of Western Chu valued strong men more, especially generals who were brave and good at fighting and fierce in battle. They were more favored and were more likely to be promoted and make a fortune.
The four famous generals of Western Chu were all brave and adept at fighting, with fierce and ferocious fighting methods.
What they don't know is that Ding Yanping seems to be unknown, but he is a historical genius with certain bonuses. In addition, Ding Yanping himself is a battle-hardened general, famous for his bravery and ferocity, and once served as the leader of the Sui Dynasty.
The elder one's combat power is naturally far beyond his own realm. He is no match for a realm higher than him, and he can even match up with a few moves at the magical power realm!
The final factor is the protection and assistance of the Guards and the Imperial Guards, as well as the atmosphere.
A brave soldier will be strong, and vice versa, in fact, they will influence each other!
"Duke Wei, why don't you retreat without fighting? Hide the enemy troops into the mountains?!
!”
While Ding Yanping was fighting fiercely, a vague order suddenly came clearly into the ears of Ding Yanping, who was boiling with blood!
"snort!"
Ding Yanping was a little confused that the Western Chu army actually recognized him and had super intelligence capabilities. However, he disdained his insidious methods. He couldn't help but snorted coldly and made his attacks even more fierce and fierce!
"My emperor has issued an order to Duke Wei to fight and retreat without having to fight to the death until he reaches the lower city. To disperse the enemy's formation and lure the enemy deeper is a great achievement!"
Seeing that Wei Guogong Ding Yanping ignored him, he became more fierce and fierce. The voice spoke again in a solemn and solemn tone. He paused and added: "I am invincible in the fire of revenge! Injure my limbs and kill all the people!"
"
"Um?!
!”
Ding Yanping felt a chill in his heart. Although he didn't recognize the message, in the end it was the code for leaving the army.
After all, in fierce battles on the battlefield, sometimes there is no time, energy or free space to verify the opponent's identity, which is why password proof is needed.
Of course, passwords can only be used to deal with small things. For big things, identity and origin must be verified.
"It turns out that this is my emperor's tactic. It is not about sacrificing me and these three million elite guards..."
After pondering for a moment, Ding Yanping breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly realized that he had been determined to serve his country loyally and die in battle!
However, who would think that he would live long if he could survive?! Now that Ding Yanping is at a stage of rapid advancement in cultivation, he is reluctant to die!
It's just that Ding Yanping was a little ashamed, he misguessed Li Huang's intentions, and misunderstood Li Huang's ruthlessness!
"The enemy force is strong, fight and retreat! Make more use of terrain advantages and focus on delaying!
!”
In a sudden change of mind, Ding Yanping's luck boomed, and the sound spread for ten miles, shaking the mountains and forests.
However, Ding Yanping did not withdraw at this point. Instead, he attacked even more fiercely. He did not rush forward, but stopped the charging Western Chu soldiers, and backed up his own army's slow and orderly retreat!
"You want to retreat now? Can you hold off...?"
Ding Yanping's shouting did not go unnoticed by Zhou Yin and other Western Chu generals who were holding the battle, and Zhou Yin couldn't help but sneered.
Of course, Zhou Yin and other Western Chu generals have to admit that this is indeed the best tactic at present, and fighting and retreating will delay more time!
Fighting hard from the front, both sides suffered heavy casualties. In just half an hour, nearly half of the million-strong Imperial Guards were killed. Including other places, such as mountains, mountain roads, trails, bushes, etc., it was estimated that there were six to seven million people.
The Imperial Guards of Great Li have fallen!
The Western Chu army suffered more casualties. More than ten million soldiers had fallen. The brown soil and green land were dyed dark red and formed into cocoons of blood. Corpses even covered the mountains and forests!
In this battle, although the engagement time was short, both the enemy and ourselves fought fiercely, both were brave and fearless of death, and the engagement range was very wide. It could be described as a deadly battle across the board, with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers at every moment.
In a life-and-death struggle, natural casualties increased greatly.
More than half an hour has passed...
The side that evacuates first will naturally be in a relatively unfavorable situation, which will cause suspicion among its own soldiers and increase the morale of the enemy's soldiers.
Fortunately, Ding Yanping led the Dali Guards. If the ordinary army withdrew when it was already at a disadvantage, it would easily lead to a huge rout and a crushing defeat!
However, the ratio of casualties on both sides was also decreasing rapidly. After more than half an hour of pursuit and retreat, the average ratio dropped to just over 1:10!
The Li army, with Ding Yanping as the center, also completely withdrew from the mountain road between Lingjue Mountain and Wangji Mountain, and withdrew several miles further, exiting the forest range of the two mountains, and came to the flat ground behind the mountain, which was only a few meters away from Xialou City behind.
It's only a few miles away, and top shooters and great monks can attack the walls of Xialou City!
The Western Chu army pressed forward step by step and refused to let go.
Without the mountain and forest terrain, the two sides have a wider area of contact. Looking at the past, the Li Army can already see endless enemy forces that can be killed, and the situation becomes even more unfavorable!
"Winter, winter, winter..."
Just when Ding Yanping was anxious and worried about leaving, and Zhou Yin and other Western Chu generals were overjoyed, a burst of intense and exciting war drums sounded from the outside, shaking the minds of both the enemy and ourselves in the fierce battle...
