Chapter 371: Fighting Alone and Bravely, Crossing the Western Regions (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The desert is dry and cold in winter. Li Guanyi's troops are all top soldiers. They are 7,000 top members selected from the 200,000 troops within the influence of Anxi City. They all have spare war horses and carry a certain amount of food and fodder supplies.

At this critical moment, all forces in the Western Regions have entered the battlefield.

It bypassed all the city-states and gathering places in the Western Regions, galloped at high speed across this vast land, spanning 1,800 miles, bypassing numerous garrisons, and appeared here with incredible precision.

They spent three days changing horses and galloping. When they arrived, the dry food, fodder and supplies they carried had been completely consumed. At this time, they finally arrived at the first target location.

In the dead of winter, Li Guanyi exhaled a large cloud of white gas. Wherever he looked, in the central royal tent, light shot up into the sky. Large tents were connected together, with cattle, sheep and horses surrounding them, forming a moving city.

In the darkness of night, the camp of the Western Region nobles was like a ball of fire, extremely obvious and eye-catching. Li Guan turned around and looked at the cavalry around him. The young generals surrounded him.

Seven thousand people.

Although Li Guanyi can now command tens of thousands of troops.

However, charging into battle formations with less than 10,000 men was what he was best at.

Can we turn the situation around, can we gain a foothold in this world, can we succeed?

Let me wait and see...

Li Guanyi exhaled a breath of white air, raised his palm and tapped his chest. The winter armor was cold. Li Guanyi said softly: "I will be with you all."

"Disperse using the battle formation method."

"Everyone——"

Li Guanyi raised his hand, and the divine weapon, the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd, appeared in his hand. It was low and murderous, and the power of the military formation was unleashed. The sound and breath of the entire cavalry army were suddenly concealed, like a tiger before it pounces on its prey.

The desert is gloomy, with iron armor and yellow sand. Under the cover of night, the generals from the Central Plains take up their weapons.

"charge."

The cavalry suddenly dispersed, but did not immediately rush, charge, or strangle the enemy.

Instead, it dispersed silently and slowly moved closer until the end.

Golden Scimitar Cavalry.

Beiwei Army.

Break through the enemy lines and attack the Baibao Camp.

Under the leadership of their respective generals, they suddenly erupted, and the sound of horse hooves broke everyone's dreams. When a scout discovered something was wrong and raised his weapon, Wang Shunchen's arrows fell, and those scout cavalrymen had already been shot in the throat and fell down completely.

The arrow breaking through the air seemed to be a signal.

Qibi Li, Fan Qing's eyes lit up.

The charge from the Western Regions roars, and the strong wind from the Central Plains howls.

The sound of horse hooves heralded the beginning of a troubled era.

These Western Region noble cavalrymen had never imagined that in the heart of the Western Region, far away from the battlefield, there would be such an army that attacked and killed silently. The prime minister of Shatuo Kingdom lifted the curtain and cursed.

His gaze was fixed on the front.

The golden scimitar cavalry cut through the enemy lines, and the Beiwei army charged into the battle formation.

The cavalry and archers of the Baibao Camp reaped the rewards.

Precise and efficient, with a terrifying sense of oppression, the smell of blood instantly dispersed the fragrance of the beauty, and the whistling of swords and knives shattered the swirling singing and dancing. The nobles were stunned. This knife and sword, blood and fire, completely split the dream of being intoxicated by Hu Xuanwu's beautiful waist.

The nobles came out and discovered the changes here.

The brave men of the Western Regions still drew their weapons to fight, but in the next moment, they were hit in the neck by two wolf-fang arrows. They groaned and fell to the ground and died. There was the smell of blood, the sound of war horses' hooves, and the murderous and sharp wind.

The nobles of the Western Regions, the prime minister of the Shatuo Kingdom, and the uncles, great-uncles, and uncles of the Khans of other countries were all dead silent. In front of them was the inky sky, and behind them was the warm royal tent. Their bodies were stiff when they heard the sound of horse hooves.

The tall dragon horse stepped forward, and a general wearing ink-colored armor and a scarlet battle robe appeared here. The war horse crushed the dream of the Western Regions step by step, and the tiger-roaring halberd pressed against the ground, and blood flowed.

The Prime Minister of Shatuo State turned pale and murmured:

"………Tian, ​​Tianger?"

On that day, the Wolf King fought with Qin Hu and won. He Ruo Qin Hu escaped with only 5,000 men. The Wolf King laughed and said that he was faking defeat and led his men back. Qin Hu was furious. Chen Lu had first defeated the Western Regions to "Tao Ying Khan" and said:
"The ruler of a small country should pay homage to the ministers of a big country." So he beheaded him and sent his head to the three armies.

————"Chen·Lu Ye Zhou Wang Liebi"

He and his warriors marched 1,800 miles, beheaded and captured 5,228 prisoners, captured the prime minister and the head of the household, beheaded the great-grandfather of the Chanyu, captured the youngest great-grandfather, and collected all the cattle and sheep for supplies. - "Historical Records, Chapter 1"

………………

Li Guanyi completed the supply, and the army, which had experienced a fierce battle, rested and healed its wounds here. Those Western Region nobles seemed to be completely unable to believe in Li Guanyi's strategy, and were all dispersed and strangled. Li Guanyi learned more about the plan to rebuild the royal court from the prime minister of Shatuo Kingdom.

Among the tribes in the Western Regions, not everyone is willing to be with Helian Bo of the Shatuo Kingdom. There are also many people who hope that the Western Regions can have a stable and peaceful order and do not want the Western Regions to return to chaos as Helian Bo expects.

There were several tribal khans and nobles who hoped to negotiate peace and alliance with the Central Plains.

However, all these Khans were imprisoned by the Shatuo Kingdom.

Li Guanyi looked at the vast sky with a calm expression. This was the first major war, and it was so easy because they used the majority to defeat the minority and took advantage of their rest to launch a surprise attack by the top corps. However, this also meant that their army, which had no baggage, had completely penetrated into the interior of the Western Regions and was cut off from the supply areas in the rear.

Became a lone army.

It is a taboo for military strategists to advance deep into the enemy's territory alone.

If the strategic goal is not achieved, this combat force of 7,000 people will inevitably be destroyed in this vast desert, and eventually collapse under the pressure of the enemy, hunger and cold.

Even if they are top-notch troops, their soldiers are extremely tough, but when they are caught in this situation, they all feel dazed and their expressions change.

Li Guanyi:
"I always say that the Wolf King's strategy is adventurous. He used an army of 500,000 to quickly annex the Western Regions until he finally captured the Tangut King's City and the secret treasure. He relied on continuous expansion, military merits, harvests, and spoils to maintain the existence of a huge army."

"What's different about us now?"

"We also abandoned logistics and used all our troops to charge into the battlefield. If we cannot quickly defeat the enemy and get supplies, we will collapse."

Li Guanyi took a sip of mutton soup and said, "It's all the same. We're all racing against time."

Qibili, Fan Qing, Ling Pingyang, and Wang Shunchen all looked calm.

But then he heard Li Guanyi shouting.

The four of them were startled, wondering what was going on. Then Li Guanyi took out a handful of seasoning powder from a small package nearby, threw a handful into the pot, and said seriously, "I see the meat is cooked. If it continues like this, it will be overcooked."

"Forget it, now that we are here, let's eat meat first."

Generals: “…………”

Only Fan Qing nodded, sat down, took out a knife and started cutting the meat to eat.

The rest of the soldiers were also given pots and meat.

There were too many people and time was too tight, so Li Guanyi successfully brought hot pot to these elite cavalry soldiers. It didn't require any trouble. All they needed was a pot, mutton, and the unique marching dry food pot-fried bread near the Western Regions, and they could easily prepare a meal.

Here, supplies were completed and those who surrendered were pardoned.

These nobles who went to the holy mountain to offer sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors also got some food. After surrendering, Li Guanyi did not make things difficult for them. He was not a bloodthirsty person. The surviving Western nobles all lowered their heads to eat meat, not daring to say anything, and their expressions became more respectful.

I can't help but be afraid.

As soon as he said the word "Eternal Heaven's Wrath", this huge army suddenly appeared.

It really makes people feel awe.

Li Guanyi exhaled a puff of white air. Beef and mutton were cooking in the pot in front of him, and bubbles were bubbling out of the pot. Li Guanyi took the steamed bun handed to him by Yaoguang, first let it warm and soften in the hot air, and then handed it to Yaoguang.

He served the girl another bowl of broth.

Qilin also enjoys eating meat.

Seven thousand people ate and drank here, and ate a lot of the nobles' cattle and sheep.

He also took away the good horses in the garrison to prevent any tip-offs. Before leaving, Li Guanyi told the people from the Western Regions, "I know what you are thinking, but the situation is uncertain now, so you might as well wait a few days."

Everyone nodded in agreement and dared not say much.

After Li Guanyi and others left, the surviving Western Region nobles breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and saw that each other's faces were pale. Where was the composure they had before?

"...He abandoned the logistics, bypassed our vanguard, and rushed over a thousand miles. He is really crazy."

"The madman from the Central Plains has come to our Western Regions to cause trouble again."

"Hush, be silent!"

"Aren't you afraid that they will turn around and attack again?"

After completing the first strategy, Li Guanyi's troops replenished the food they carried to a safe line, and then continued to advance towards a wider area.

The desert is vast and sparsely populated. The winter is cold and vast, which makes one feel even more lonely. Everyone galloped all the way, sometimes for several hours in a row, but the scenery they saw did not change at all and became even more desolate.

With the direction determined by the Yaoguang astrology and the help of the geomancy maps and files found from the prime minister of the Shatuo Kingdom, Li Guanyi's troops went straight into the heart of the Western Regions, crossed Wuli, attacked Subu, and crossed Hunu, passing through five countries in seven days.

Again, under the mountains, they met the Western Region army that was on its way to the royal court.

The fighting lasted from day to dusk, and they captured the prince of the Beilu Kingdom alive, dispersed its coalition forces, determined their own position again, obtained supplies from the Western Regions army, dispersed the defeated army, and crossed the mountains.

Then it immediately made a sharp turn and bypassed several royal cities.

Let the prince of Beilu Kingdom go and invite several tribal kings to go out together.

A conflict occurs.

Qibili, Fan Qing, Wang Shunchen, and Ling Pingyang led the army to attack. Within a few days, they advanced hundreds of miles and fought eight battles. Some of the Khans and kings in the Western Regions surrendered, while others disobeyed. This time, Li Guanyi showed decisiveness that he had never shown before.

He conquered along the way and killed King Shanhuan, King Pule, and Xiqiemi Khan, and wiped out their elite troops. Prince Hunxie, the prime minister, and the commander were all captured.

Seven thousand troops were either injured or killed. Despite being led by famous generals and having elite soldiers, and the healing skills learned by Li Guanyi from the Huangji Jingshi Book, casualties still occurred. During the battle, they could not take the bodies of their comrades away and could only bury them on the spot.

And thrust their swords into the earth.

Li Guanyi personally dipped his blood in writing a prayer and nailed it on a big tree next to him with his own arrow, stating that it was the tomb left by the Lord of Anxi City. If any thief dared to steal the sword, he would be personally punished.

After a pause, he wrote down: "If it is for self-protection or to help others, then you may take this sword."

Li Guanyi threw down the pen in his hand and looked at the burial place of his comrades. He was silent for a long time, then poured the confiscated wine to sacrifice to these comrades. The wind was cold and the elite soldiers behind him stood silently.

During the days since entering the Western Regions, he had fought more than ten battles, large and small, and killed more than ten thousand enemies. The blades of his swords were already stained with blood. He had marched alone deep into the interior of the Western Regions for thousands of miles, and there was no possibility of turning back.

Li Guan poured out all the wine from the wine naan in his hand and then threw the wine naan away.

"Cheers to you all!" "When we return with a great victory, we will definitely share the good news with you all."

"When the time comes, we will have an army of thousands to welcome you all home."

The more than 6,000 people behind them all had solemn expressions. After experiencing the trials and tribulations of these great battles, going deep into the enemy's territory alone, fighting continuously and winning, their spirits and energy changed again. They were all elite troops drawn from three different armies, but at this moment they had a feeling of cohesion and sublimation.

Li Guan turned around, and the cold wind from the desert behind him blew across the sword that was stuck in the ground, making a clear low humming sound. After this battle, he also obtained a sacrificial offering from one of the Khans.

Li Guanyi led his troops forward.

At the same time, the coalition forces from the Western Regions were dispatched by Helian Bo and others to suppress the rear of Anxi City. Hundreds of thousands of troops brought tremendous pressure to the sixty cities of Anxi City. They did not go forward to attack the city, but just stationed troops outside.

It seems like they want to fight, but it also seems like they don't want to fight. This is the wolf pack hunting tactic that the Western Region generals are good at.

While the commander on the Western Region front was feeling complacent and thought he had victory in his grasp, many famous generals on the battlefield discovered something was wrong. The Wolf King, He Ruoqinhu, and Lu Youxian all discovered that a guy who should have been active on the battlefield had disappeared.

On the contrary, Yue Qianfeng was full of fighting spirit.

Achieve success repeatedly.

There were rumors that Tianger was cunning and avoided fighting. Coupled with the fighting on the battlefields of all parties, Tianger's ranking on the God General List dropped from twenty-seventh to thirty-third.

He Ruoqinhu and others were puzzled, not knowing where Li Guanyi had gone. They even suspected that Li Guanyi had colluded with the Wolf King and was planning to give them a brutal blow, or that Li Guanyi took the opportunity to return to Jiangnan?

"If he was here, why didn't he fight?"

"Could it be that the target is the Wolf King?"

Unknown to everyone, thousands of miles away from the core battlefield of the Western Regions, an isolated army was charging forward with a magnificent and heroic momentum, crossing Junqi, crossing Juyan, and then reaching Yuezhi and attacking Lianshan.

After several more battles, the murderous aura of Li Guanyi's Eight-Layered Battle Formation gradually became more complete.

There is another kind of situation where a trend of destroying a country is gathering.

Not only Li Guanyi felt it, the morale and spirit of the army he led were also growing vigorously. Even the most ordinary soldiers were filled with an indescribable sense of grandeur.

Just like rocks rolling down from the mountains, its momentum is already built and cannot be stopped.

Chanyu Shan Huan and Qiu Tu Wang both surrendered.

They had completely lost the courage to fight, and the rest of the Western Khans and nobles who were defeated or captured by Li Guanyi were directly led by him to the west. What they saw along the way was fighting and slaughter, and not only the enemies in front were defeated.

The khans and chanyus of the Western Regions were also devastated.

The arrogance of those who previously lived in the remote western regions, thinking themselves arrogant and powerful, and that they had beauties from gold and silver, and that the Central Plains was a great country, and that the so-called famous generals and emperors were much more powerful than themselves, was directly taken away by this wave.

I can't believe that there is such a fighting method in this world.

There are also such heroic and magnificent actions as if a god descended to earth!

After winning the war, Li Guanyi directly ordered many Khans and Chanyu to knock on the gates and demand that the troops in the city surrender and not to kill too much. He directly said that he did not want to cause too much bloodshed.

Then they discovered that a Central Plains army had suddenly appeared. The morale of the defenders of the Western Regions city-states, who were already in a panic and at a loss, collapsed. The soldiers were forcibly pulled up, ran to the highest point, took out arrows, and pointed their weapons at the people outside.

The guard only took one look and his face turned pale.

The sky was as dark as ink, rolling continuously. Those inky-cold flags, like spears and lances, pointed straight at the sky. Those flags painted with different patterns hung down, as if they were rolling and falling from the sky.

Further outside, the flags of the Central Plains Army, the Beiwei Army, and the Western Regions' legendary Golden Scimitar Cavalry fluttered at the same time. These soldiers, who had experienced lonely and decisive battles and become more transformed and condensed, sat solemnly on their mounts with calm eyes.

At this time, whether it was Fan Qing, Ling Pingyang, or Qibili.

They all had a feeling that these more than 6,000 people could no longer be distinguished from each other. They were no longer people from the Central Plains, no longer from some tribe in the Western Regions, nor were they the Beiwei Army or the Golden Scimitar Cavalry.

In this massive and lightning-fast crusade, they were condensed together, like various fine minerals thrown into a furnace to be forged and tempered, and finally turned into magic weapons.

These brave warriors are showing signs of transforming into a brand new army.

And before this army is about to transform into a brand new corps.

The god riding on the divine horse and stepping on thunder looked ahead calmly and indifferently.

The Khan, the Chanyu, was sent to the front by his soldiers in the gorgeous clothes that were originally used for offering sacrifices to heaven, ancestors, and establishing a royal court. In the cold wind, he demanded that the city open its gates and surrender.

A dead silence.

As soon as Li Guan raised his hand, the army behind him raised their weapons and shouted, "Surrender!"

"drop!"

"drop!!"

The voice was solemn and arrogant, and the sound stopped the heavy clouds.

Li Guanyi put down his hand, and the three armies fell silent. Only the murderous aura and the murderous aura of weapons rose to the sky, rising again and again, frightening the Khans who were completely subdued in front of them to tremble, and their scalps tingled, and they shouted:

"Open the door, open the door!"

"Surrender!"

In this battle, seventeen cities were captured in three days. The prime minister and the commander-in-chief surrendered with 2,500 people, and the enemy army was 32,000. Five kings, the queen mother, the Chanyu's wife, and fifty-nine princes were captured.

There were sixty-three people including prime ministers, generals, doormen, and captains.

They galloped all the way like this, and all those they attacked were subdued and they were invincible. Through battles, they replenished supplies, changed weapons and mounts, determined a more detailed geomancy map, and then rushed towards the goal in a more determined and swift manner.

From the outside, this is an incredibly high-speed strategy, but from the perspective of Li Guanyi and others, they only feel that the trend is overwhelming. Under this trend of conquering all directions, it is almost impossible to stop. It is either a great success or a great defeat.

During the high-intensity expeditions along the way, Fan Qing found that his command became more and more delicate. If he abandoned the delicate adjustments and coordination, he might have slightly improved the highest value of his command ability.

However, this should be the limit.

After all, he was just a fugitive from a farming family.

Fan Qing was already extremely satisfied.

Moreover, seemingly because he participated in this grand and magnificent crusade, Fan Qing felt that the body of energy that should have been absolutely impossible to break through was actually rippling slightly, and at this moment he had reached the peak of the fourth level.

But when they shook hands, they could faintly hear a powerful roar.

Is that the Dharmadhatu?
Fan Qing remained silent. If it were possible for him to develop divine charm, what would it be?
The Fifth Heaven...

Is it really possible for me to reach this level where I can become a great general?

He looked at Li Guanyi's back, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little excited. These more than 6,000 soldiers who were about to transform were taking their final rest here. Li Guanyi looked into the distance. Not long ago, the extremely distant mountains that he saw from Anxi City were now within reach.

Looking up, you can see the mountains as straight as swords.

[Juxu Mountain], we are almost there.

This is the last day of the year.

Tomorrow, the Huns will offer sacrifices to their ancestors and to the heavens, and it will also be the day when Li Guanyi grows another year older.

Li Guanyi exhaled, his eyes calm. He was sitting in the captured city. The soldiers were repairing their weapons and adjusting their mindsets. After galloping all the way here, there was no fear or terror in their hearts.

There is no turning back.

What remains is just heroism and bravery. It is a feeling that under the majestic trend, individuals are also carried away by the magnificent situation. If they succeed in this battle, they will surely be famous through the ages. They have a feeling of facing the torrent of history and the years.

And Li Guanyi was writing a letter.

I wrote letters to my aunt and also to my great-grandfather Murong Longtu who lived far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

It may not be possible to send it, but it is a way to soothe the mind.

I told my aunt that the music had gotten worse.

Talking about swordsmanship with his great-grandfather, he had already mastered the swordsmanship diagrams left by his great-grandfather Murong Longtu, and had also created his own snake-slaying technique. However, Li Guanyi knew that that sword move was probably the pinnacle of his swordsmanship.

In this life, he will conquer all directions, and if he is lucky, he may be able to pacify the world.

When you use the sword to bring peace, perhaps you can also gain enlightenment on the sword.

That sword must be the limit and peak that can never be surpassed in this life.

But that was different from his great-grandfather's way. Li Guanyi had no chance of practicing the kind of swordsmanship that the young men in the martial arts world wore. Li Guanyi dipped his brush in ink and wrote on the papyrus from the Western Regions:
"So, I feel that I have let you down a bit."

"It is impossible for me to master all those sword techniques and sword moves, but I also have this sword..."

Li Guan raised his eyes. He had been sitting quietly all night to calm his mind. Fan Qing was holding a gun, Qibili was wiping the blade of his knife with a thin cloth, Ling Pingyang was holding his gun with his eyes closed, and the more than 6,000 comrades who were galloping like thunder were also silent, with a calm military murderous aura.

The whole country is fighting, the northern frontier is competing, the state teacher of Ying State and the Great Khan of the grassland are fighting in the northern border, the Tiger Cavalry and the Night Cavalry are competing in the Central Plains, Yuwen Lie is waving his spear, Jiang Wanxiang is making his move, heroes are coming from all directions, the Wolf King is getting stronger with age, and the Phoenix is ​​trying out his clear voice for the first time.

And I...

A map of the world's territory seemed to appear before Li Guanyi's eyes.

Suddenly he chuckled, and his fingers were like swords, and he slashed down from Anxi City with one sword.

Cross the Western Regions, tear the world apart, and cut off the trend.

Li Guanyi's sword finger paused in the void, and then paused at the "Western Region Geomancy Map" in front of him. His battle robe fluttered, his armor shone coldly, and he lowered his eyes slightly:

"This is my sword, different from yours, great-grandfather."

He slowly withdrew his fingers:
"This sword is straight as never before, it can be raised to the highest point, it can be placed at the lowest point, and it can be moved without deviation."

"Although I am still not able to go up to the Floating Clouds and down to the Jedi Era."

"But it can be as strong as thunder."

"Great grandfather, in a few days, you will be in Jiangnan and you should be able to see me use my sword."

"What a style."

"In my personal opinion, I would like to invite you, my great-grandfather, to take a look at this sword."

Li Guanyi put the letter away, then stood up holding his weapon and strode down. Fan Qing, Qibili, Ling Pingyang, and Wang Shunchen followed quietly behind him. Looking up into the distance, the sacred mountain of the Western Regions [Juxu Mountain] was already before them.

They were about to hold the grandest royal court sacrifice to heaven.

I didn’t know [the guest] was coming.

Li Guanyi looked at the silent and murderous army and said:
"Go to war."

All the soldiers responded with this one cry:
"promise!"
