Chapter 75, The Battle of Liangzhou
Fighting against the fierce cold wind, the traffic was rife and bustling in Lintao City, which was once extremely prosperous, was only a panic of wind and cranes left at this moment.
Since the fall of Hanyang County, the several counties sandwiched in the middle have not been able to last for a few days, and then they have changed hands one after another, pushing Lintao to the forefront.
Whether Lintao can be defended is not only related to the rise and fall of the Kou family, but also to the victory or defeat of this Liangzhou battle for hegemony.
The head of the Kou family, who had just reached an agreement with each family, returned to his nest and did not even have time to take a breath, and the enemy was already at the city.
"Why are the enemies so fast? Haven't they already been alert? Even if each county town holds the enemy for a day, it will make the enemy touch our noses!"
Kou Tianci asked almost roaringly.
As one of the two major families in Liangzhou, the Kou family has a very good foundation. However, it takes time to transform the foundation into strength.
Nearly one-third of the troops recruited in the early stage were destroyed in Hanyang County. In order to save the old nest, the Kou family has withdrawn the troops in the alliance.
As one of the two giants in the alliance, in order to maintain their influence, there are their people in all coalition forces.
If you win and grab the territory, this arrangement is undoubtedly the best. But now you have to draw troops back to the defense of your lair, and the advantage becomes a disadvantage.
It also takes time to dispatch troops and generals, and the gap between the army is also huge.
The elite troops composed of warriors can travel hundreds of miles a day; and even if the temporarily pieced together army, even if the baggage is abandoned, it will travel seventy or eighty miles a day at most.
You can't be faster, and you'll have no one when you're at the place soon. People have limits on their physical strength. They will be sacked without waiting to go to the battlefield.
Welcoming the old man's spit, the middle-aged general wearing armor replied with a tough bullet: "The head of the family, the enemy is going downstream. There are few resistances in the counties along the way, so..."
If you can't explain it anymore, you will blame the old man for his blind command.
The biggest reason why the counties along the way resisted weakly was that the Kou family's direct forces were drawn back, leaving behind cannon fodder.
Even though he knew he had become cannon fodder, he wanted to rely on others to work hard, which was obviously unreliable. In addition, there were people loyal to the Great Zhou in the city, which weakened the resistance.
The Kou family has never suffered the loss of righteousness, so they naturally do not know the importance of righteousness, and even now they have not realized the meaning of the word "Da Zhou".
The world is full of rebels, which does not mean that there will be no loyal ministers in the ten thousand years of Zhou. The most important thing is: this is the best reason for everyone to turn against the past.
After pausing for a moment, Kou Tianci scolded sternly: "Enough! I don't want to hear any explanation. Now there is only one answer: Can you defend Lintao City?"
A group of generals who drove the ducks and put them on the shelves all hung their heads. It would be fine to brag in normal times, but now at such a critical moment, everyone dares not make random promises.
Even if he had military experience, the highest position of the front-line general was the first lieutenant, and the position he was further upward was monopolized by the generals.
Like the county magistrate, the official positions within the military headquarters seem to be military positions, but in fact there is no chance to directly command troops.
The Great Zhou relaxed restrictions on officials, but it took only more than a year. Unless it was a talented person, no one would have grown up so quickly.
Apart from the generals in the rebellion army and the children of the princes, no one had ever had contact with large corps to fight.
With the incomplete military books collected by the Kou family, it is really not something that ordinary people can yell at.
Realizing that it was not good, the old man in purple in the next head persuaded: "Brother, at this point, let's ask our ancestors to take action!
In the previous battle of Hanyang, we had already lost our troops and generals. If we continue to fight against the enemy, even if we defend Lintao, we will suffer heavy losses.
If the army is damaged too much, we will be at a disadvantage next time with the Cui family for Liangzhou.
Instead of doing this, it is better to ask our ancestors to take action, take down the enemy's head first, recruit this elite force, and increase our strength."
After glanced at his mother-in-law's younger brother, Kou Tianci sighed: "Third brother, how can things be that simple?
The fact that high-level warriors do not participate in the war directly is also a tacit understanding between various forces. If we take the lead in breaking the tacit understanding, the enemy will inevitably take revenge next.
You might not think that there are no Golden Pill Warriors in the Dingyuan Marquis’ Mansion?
Even if the ancestors can handle it, what about the Li family in Suizhou? If they intervene, I'm afraid..."
In fact, compared to the battle between high-level warriors, Kou Tianci was more worried that his ancestor would fail to take action.
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Li family in Suizhou are all thousands of miles away, and there are still big forces in the middle, so it is not easy for them to take revenge.
As long as you don’t do anything, there will be room for maneuver. The great forces in the south will not let them do whatever they want.
The threat is different from the closest threat. Not to mention the Golden Pill Warrior, even the Yuanshen Warriors have cases of being killed by the army.
For example, the Demon-Suppressing Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty killed more than once the demons at the level of the soul.
Although the Dingyuan Army is not that awesome, it also has the record of killing Jindan warriors. The combat power shown by the enemy on the opposite side is already quite good. If the ancestors had some accidents, the Kou family's sky would really collapse.
After looking at the disappointed people, Kou Tianci said helplessly: "Forget it, I will report this matter to my ancestors before making a decision.
Third brother, contact the Cui family first and ask the Cui family ancestor to take action at all costs.
Liangzhou is not our family’s Liangzhou. Tell the Cui family that if they sit idly, don’t blame us…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kou Tianci was much lonely. His endless ambitions and he encountered setbacks just after taking a small step, which gave him a clearer understanding of his own strength.
...
Outside Lintao City, Li Mu was listening to the witch playing the piano, without any tension as before the war came.
Confidence is all achieved, and the victory over the past few days has made him realize that this is a world that is worse than bad.
There is no worst here, only worse. You don’t need to be very good. As long as you are not that bad, you can become a winner.
He didn't know how to complain about the coalition forces of the aristocratic family. Perhaps he was worried about the loyalty of the imperial army, so he actually broke up these troops and mixed them with the new recruits.
What is the difference between this operation and the combination of the One God Belt and Nine Pits?
The most important thing is that the god itself fails. How can such a team maintain combat effectiveness?
The private troops of each family are good, but these guys are okay to participate in the disputes in the world, and they are completely in the wrong theater when they are involved in the battlefield.
The most important thing for the army is to cooperate tacitly. Killing enemies mainly depends on the military formation to exert its power, rather than just looking at the heroic performance of individual soldiers.
After slaughtering rookies all the way, Li Mu finally understood why his father came to the conclusion that the world must belong to the five surnames and seven sects.
These tens of thousands of troops that have slightly touched the threshold of elite troops can sweep these rookies all the way. So what about the army composed of innate warriors above the age of nature?
There is no need for too many, even if only three thousand people are enough to sweep the entire Liangzhou. Innate soldiers are soldiers, heavenly men are soldiers, and golden elixirs are generals. After such an army forms a formation, the Yuanshen warriors have to turn around.
Just think about it. Li Mu's command can't even get three hundred innate things now, and he has everything in his dream of forming such a large army.
"The visitor is a guest. Since you two have arrived, why not sit down and have a drink?"
As soon as the words finished, the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end. After the clever witch realized the danger, she quickly moved closer to Li Mu.
As a smart person, she knew very well that Li Mu would treat him equally, the strong man at the Jindan level would inevitably be hidden and not appear, and he was obviously an enemy, not a friend. Such a master would fight, and the aftermath could take her away.
Deep down, she had greeted Li Mu's family. She didn't know how to notify her in advance.
But now that everything is over, I run away immediately and may become the first target of the enemy's attack. At the moment, I can only hide in front of Li Mu, hoping that this guy will take care of him during the fight.
The Jindan Grandmaster also wants to save face. Since he was called out and lost the opportunity to attack, the two of them were free and easy and appeared directly on the field.
"I didn't expect that the Liangzhou Jiedushi was actually a Jindan warrior, but you shouldn't have led us over. If we were in the military camp, even if we joined forces, we wouldn't be able to take you!"
From the solemn expression, it can be seen that the old man is not at peace. Golden Pill Warriors rarely get involved in the secular world, and once they participate, they will definitely be shocked.
He didn't believe that Li Mu made a breakthrough in his post and directly thought that it was an old monster who acted under the guise of being a junior.
Ignoring the fuss between the two, Li Mu said lightly: "But I'm still here!"
"I am now eager to seek talent. If you two are willing to join, you will definitely benefit you."
Soliciting, just soliciting soliciting with carelessness. Such a magical operation directly shocked the witch behind her. Suddenly, she found that she didn't understand the man in front of her at all.
Taking a blank check to get powerful enemies into the gang is not something that ordinary people can do, but Li Mu is still doing it smoothly.
It seems to be saying: I am willing to recruit you, that is worthy of you. Those who know the current affairs should come over quickly!
The two men who were originally planning to be polite and then soldier were instantly angry by Li Mu, and almost shouted in unison: "Don't be crazy!"
Since they had broken their faces, the two of them were no longer polite, and they had already taken action against Li Mu as they spoke.
But a strange scene appeared. Just when the two were about to hit Li Mu, there was Li Mu's figure on the field.
"Are you looking for me?"
It was like a ghost's voice sounding behind him, and the two people who took action were like falling into an ice cave.
Turning around and looking at Li Mu who was looking at them, and the witch who was moved together, he said in disbelief: "Void Move, you are not a Golden Pill Warrior!"
Void movement is one of the standard features of the powerful primordial spirit. No matter how fast the Golden Pill Warrior is, it is impossible for him to leave no trace at all.
Li Mu was misunderstood by the enemy, so he was too lazy to explain. If he was in another place, his cultivation level would naturally not be able to move the void, but unfortunately this is the Sishui River.
With the authority of heaven and earth, Sishui River is his home court. On his own territory, it is not easy to block the fluctuations of his movements.
If he was not sure, Li Mu would not bring the witch to serve as bait. Although he did not have too deep feelings, he had to admit that he enjoyed the witch's service very much.
Fortunately, these two people were on the boat. If they fell into the water, they could truly realize what heaven and earth were against them.
