Li Tang's cavalry and powerful men from other major forces were obviously behind to cover the retreat of the remaining rebels, but King Xie Wu was not in a hurry? Could it be that King Xie Wu mainly wanted to keep them?!
"Now that the imperial court has been completely corrupted, the tyrant has no morals, the people are in dire straits, and their strength has obviously been exhausted. This is the general trend of the world. Why should the evil king be stubborn and loyal to the imperial court?"
Wu Xin was not in a hurry, and Li Jiancheng, who was originally responsible for the rear of the palace and holding back King Wu's army, was not in a hurry. Moreover, he was getting what he wanted, so he patiently advised him loudly.
"If the general trend is the general trend, how can there be a catastrophe in Yangzhou? How dare the rebellious ministers and traitors dare to talk about loyalty?"
Wu Xin sneered and asked in a loud voice. He paused and ordered to the left and right:
"Call the bows and cavalry, and shoot from a distance! Keep your distance. Although the enemy is defeated, they are not weak, so don't be impulsive! Remember that when the enemy retreats, we advance, and when the enemy advances, we retreat!"
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.
Despite the fact that the rebels were scattered and withdrawn, they looked like a huge defeat, but in fact their strength was still there. It can be said that the strength of today's rebels is still no worse than that of the imperial court, at least better than King Wu's army.
If Wu Xin led his troops to charge forward like this, they might be able to overwhelm Li Tang's cavalry and the strong camp with the strength of the Xinwu Guards. However, the Xinwu Guards would definitely suffer heavy casualties, which was not the result Wu Xin wanted.
Wu Xin was not really loyal enough to suppress the rebels at all costs!
The generals understood, and soon the Xinwu Guards, who were skilled in bows and horses, rushed towards the rebels, but stopped at a distance, bent their bows and started shooting. The rest of the Sui cavalry assisted, except for some close combat cavalry blocking the front, and
Select a number of horse archers and shoot from a distance.
This is a very famous cavalry tactic that Wu Xin remembers from his previous life.
Genghis Khan, a genius of a generation, relied on the bow and cavalry tactics of "when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy advances, we retreat", he conquered the Eurasian continent and created the largest empire in history.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
Just as Li Tang's cavalry, Hades Hall, Grotto Temple and other camps were preparing for their formation, King Wu's army stopped at a distance, and the sky was filled with arrows, roaring, and cold light.
It's a pity that the rebels at the rear are either the famous special unit...Li Tang's cavalry, or they are strong men from famous forces.
Ordinary rain of arrows had no effect on the tone at all, and most of them were blocked.
However, the proportion of sharp arrows being blocked is only relative. Ordinary Sui bow cavalry are indeed basically ineffective against the shooting of the rebels in front of them.
The archery skills of the trustworthy military guards are harmful, but the damage is not small. The average cultivation level of the iron-armored military guards today, in the late stage of physical training, uses several stone strong bows and sharp arrows; the average cultivation level of the silver-armored military guards, in the late stage of Qi refining, uses
There are dozens of stones of iron bows and arrows, which are enough to pose a fatal threat to Qi refining experts. Even the great monks dare not look down upon them.
It took a long time to finish the meal, but there was no end to the rain of arrows.
With each wave of arrows, the rebels at the rear seemed to suffer few casualties, but they just resisted blindly. As they accumulated, more than a thousand people were shot and killed. The situation became increasingly chaotic and panicky!
"General Li, this is not possible!"
The mountain mover Zhao Neng, the representative of the Hades Palace, frowned and reminded Li Jiancheng.
During meal time, the Pluto Palace disciples, who were good at defense, had only been shot and killed about twenty people, which was the lowest casualty among all the forces present. However, Zhao Neng couldn't stand this kind of fighting style where he only got beaten!
"What does Senior Yi Zhao mean? Let's rush over?" Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement, but he sincerely asked for advice.
"..." Zhao Neng opened his mouth and was speechless.
Believe in the name of Wuwei, it is powerful in the world.
Not to mention anything else, even Li Tang's Iron Cavalry, which has become famous recently, is only comparable to the lowest level of the Xinwu Guards. It may be slightly inferior. How can it be used to charge and fight?!
The only reliance is to rely on the strong men from the Pluto Temple, Grotto Temple, Feng Cave Temple and other rivers and lakes forces to attack fiercely.
But, are they willing?
The idea that the people do not fight against the officials is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is not just a subconscious mind. On the battlefield, under the same circumstances, Jianghu figures are indeed no match for soldiers. The greater the number, the greater the gap.
Letting the Jianghu forces charge is equivalent to asking them to die. Our own casualties will definitely be heavier than those of King Wu's army. This is a typical strategy in which both sides will suffer losses, or even die together!
"I really don't understand, what are we afraid of? In terms of strong people, we have many more strong people than the imperial court. If they dare to catch up, they are obviously seeking death. Why don't they just rush in and capture the thief first?"
At this moment, Li Yuanba frowned impatiently and spat. After a pause, he looked at his eldest brother and Zhao Neng in confusion and asked:
"By the way, King Xie Wu is here. Is there any other imperial army in other directions that can compete with the master and the divine monk Huixin?! If the imperial court wants to hunt us down, how many troops will it have to spend to contain the master and the divine monk Huixin?
?Do they have that many troops?!"
"Yes!" Zhao Neng's eyes lit up and he said happily.
Under the same circumstances, due to the iron-blooded evil spirit, the Jianghu camp is indeed inferior to the army. But, is the gap obvious?
Apart from anything else, as long as a strong man who can threaten the enemy's general is intimidated, how many enemy troops can be contained? This is a matter of proportion and balance. It is difficult to explain in one sentence, but it is not difficult to understand.
"The problem is... I can't contact you!"
Li Jiancheng responded with a wry smile, then stared at Li Yuanba expectantly and asked, "Can the third brother contact the Taoist Immortal and ask him to come for support?"
"Let me try……"
Li Yuanba nodded in response, confidently raised the drum, urn and golden hammer in his hand, looked around at everyone and asked: "However, there is no need for the master to come forward for the time being, just a shock is enough! Who dares to attack King Wu with me? I am not sure about killing King Wu.
, but, containment and threats, no problem!”
Li Jiancheng frowned and remained silent, because King Wu Wu Xin had blocked Li Yuanba on the battlefield several times, but the two had not yet fought fiercely!
However, with Li Yuanba's fighting power, he was invincible. Even if he was trapped in the enemy's formation, it would not be difficult to escape alone. However, others would be in danger, so Li Jiancheng remained silent!
"Okay!" Zhao Neng responded with great joy.
Soon, the Hades Palace sent four great monks, including Zhao Neng, and other Jianghu forces such as the Grotto Temple, Fengxue Temple, and Paiyunmen sent a total of eleven great monks to form a "decapitation team" headed by Li Yuanba.
"!
"Rumble..."
Li Yuanba and the fifteen great monks were as powerful as a rainbow, and they rushed out despite the fierce rain of arrows without any difficulty.
Soon, Li Yuanba and others rushed hundreds of meters without any injuries.
"boom……"
The bow string is powerful and the arrow is tearing through the air.
Wu Xin, who had not made a move, shot an iron arrow, but was blocked by Li Yuanba with a hammer. The iron arrow exploded, but Li Yuanba was not beaten back!
There were more than ten piercing sounds in the air, and the golden-armored guards took action, but they were blocked one after another and did not have the expected effect. Instead, Zhao Neng and fifteen other great monks were asked to hide behind Li Yuanba and follow Li Yuanba. It went smoothly.
move forward.
"rush……"
Even King Wu couldn't stop Li Yuanba's momentum, which immediately made Li Yuanba and others heave a sigh of relief, and they rushed faster!
Both sides know that it takes a short time to deal with the other side. No one can severely damage the other side in a short time. It depends on which side can't stand it and retreats first!
The sun sets and the moon rises.
One night passed, under the command of King Wu, the imperial army was still entangled with the rebels like brown sugar, with a posture of fighting to the death. However, a shocking change occurred in Jiangdu City... (To be continued.)
