Chapter 478 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! (asking for monthly votes)
Li Zhaowen's voice was clear, but the weight of his words was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath. Even the Turkic Khan, a veteran general like Muzhakha, could not help but frown.

Eight thousand armored soldiers and thirty thousand heavy cavalry.

Such a configuration can definitely not be said to be weak.

In fact, this is already an extremely powerful force in this world!
Even if they were leading the Iron Buddha, the king of heavy cavalry in the world, when facing Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen as commanders leading a force ten times their size, the advantage brought by the force itself would be completely wiped out.

If both sides fight to the death, it will be almost impossible to keep Li Guanyi.

Muzhah remained silent. He was also a veteran in the army, so he naturally knew the change in the situation. But he was also the Khan's brother and his subject, so he did not speak, but just cast his gaze on the brave man.

The Great Khan sat on his horse, his shoulders broad and majestic like mountains.

He still led his army to pursue Li Guanyi, and Li Guanyi did not relax at all.

Even though this heavyweight news was released, Qilin was still moving at an extremely fast speed. They all knew that if Li Guanyi relied on the news brought by Li Zhaowen at this time and planned to negotiate with the Khan.

The latter would immediately throw away all his face and directly drag Li Guanyi into the military.

But Li Guanyi never let his guard down.

At this time, the Khan was caught in some kind of struggle.

Should he continue fighting and lead the army together with the army that gathered after Muzhaha's message to besiege the King of Qin; or should he not fight, rein in his horses and let the two men go? Two options emerged in his mind, causing a strong struggle in the Khan's eyes.

Let him go!
Continue the pursuit?

The Khan's reason told him that in the previous situations, he had relied on his military strength to weaken Li Guanyi countless times, but had not been able to keep him. At this moment, Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen had reunited, and he had a Qilin as a mount.

Even though the Iron Pagoda, with its military formation and luck, was a top-notch corps capable of galloping for a day, it began to become exhausted due to the consumption of chasing the King of Qin.

This is a long time.

The possibility of wanting to keep King Qin is even smaller.

But then I thought of it again.

This place is some distance away from the border of Xiyi City.

Muzahe had previously sent a message to the other Khans using flying eagles, mobilizing their direct guards to encircle and intercept the King - if they sacrificed the flesh and blood of ordinary soldiers to stop the King of Qin, there was a great possibility that they would drag him into the army.

In the Great Khan's strategic vision, the attack at this moment has a 50% chance of success or failure.

One continues to attack driven by instinctive desire and unwillingness.

One is to restrain greed and call it a day.

After struggling for a moment, the Khan let out a breath and made his decision.

His expression gradually became firm.

People like him would not make another choice. They raised their weapons, stirring up the military momentum. The military spirit and evil spirit gathered, surged, and entangled themselves on the edge of the weapons, emitting a shaking roar like thunder.

The Great Khan's skills are like steel and cannot be shaken.

"Lead the troops and encircle them!"

He reasserted his will.

Overcome your cowardice, hesitation, and self-doubt.

Choose and continue the battle!
All heroes in the world are gamblers. Except for today, there will probably never be another reckless move like King Qin Li Guanyi to advance alone. This will be the only possibility to capture King Qin at a relatively small cost.

Even if it is just to stop the King of Qin, the death of ten thousand cavalrymen is worth it.

The Great Khan piled all the chips in his hand on the table!
Bet big!
I bet, I will win!

If he were allowed to go back, in the future when the two sides fought, the cavalrymen who died at the hands of the Tiance Palace would not be just the number who died today for blocking the King of Qin's steps.

The Great Khan raised his eyes and looked at the girl with raised eyebrows.

It is still unknown whether what Li Zhaowen said is true or false.

Or maybe it's just a lie.

On the border between Xiyi City and the Turks, perhaps the so-called eight thousand black armored soldiers and thirty thousand heavy cavalry did not exist. They were just fabricated by Li Zhaowen to scare them.

If this is the case, and he was scared away by just two words from a twenty-year-old girl, where would his reputation as a soldier throughout his life be?
Even if we take a step back and say that these troops really do exist.

The grassland army gathered along the way would not be afraid of him!

In terms of personal martial arts, he is even better than Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi could successfully escape from the army, so how could he not be able to?!

What's more, even if we encounter enemies in front, there is a vast grassland behind us.

It is an absolutely safe place.

If we encounter obstacles ahead, the worst that can happen is to retreat. Fight bravely today and fight to the end. Even if we are unable to truly defeat the King of Qin, at least we will not regret it when we recall it in the future.

He had already raised three thousand iron pagodas to pursue the King of Qin alone. He had already paid a price and gained fame. How could he stop there? !

Precisely because he is an extremely confident overlord, he knows that now that things have come to this point, he cannot turn back.

The Great Khan said in a loud voice: "King Qin, you are advancing alone and are greedy for merit."

"How can you just leave like this without leaving anything behind?!"

"Whatever means you have, use them all!"

Muzahe laughed loudly: "It is indeed the Khan we have been waiting for. King Qin, what nonsense are you talking about! Come, let's see how long you can hold on!"

"We should be the vanguard for the Great Khan!"

After that, another arrow shot towards Li Guanyi. The Qilin spit fire, and the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in Li Guanyi's hand spun around, accompanied by a deep tiger roar, and the sharp edge like frost and snow chopped down.

The Dharma image exploded, and with one move, it directly shattered the arrow into pieces.

Li Guanyi said: "Let's go!"

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer flew into the sky. Li Zhaowen held a bow in his hand, protecting the Nine-Colored Divine Deer while helping Li Guanyi to contain the enemies and the army on both sides. The Fire Kirin heard that reinforcements were coming ahead, so he mustered up his courage and blazing flames rose to the sky.

Qilin burst out with all his strength and headed straight towards Xiyi City.

It can be said that he used all his strength to suck milk.

He rushed out with all his might, and while trying his best to mobilize his own energy, he did not notice that a bright yellow bead in his body was glowing faintly.

It is because of my full concentration that I was able to activate this thing.

It was the possibility of breaking through the limits of the Qilin that was left behind by the old Qilin in the academy.

Qilin's speed increased in a slow manner.

The attack and breakout along the way were quite difficult. The Turkic army had special flying eagles to deliver messages. On the vast grassland, the Khans in front of Li Guanyi sent out their own corps and troops to try to stop Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen.

After several charges, battles and fights, the sky was gradually turning dark red.

With the assistance of Li Zhaowen, although Li Guanyi was injured, he successfully broke through the encirclement of the Turkic Khan in front of him. He was in high spirits and the sound of horses' hooves behind him was like thunder.

The immortal power constantly repairs the body.

Li Guanyi grinned.

Holding the halberd, he took the time to glance at the army behind him.

Tens of thousands of troops surged like a wolf smoke. Troops from all directions gathered and killed decisively, but unfortunately, unfortunately——

There is a huge gap in the quality of soldiers in different legions.

There is also very little cooperation between them.

There is no such rare talent as Fan Qing.

Even though a general like the Great Khan was able to command tens of thousands of troops, there were obvious flaws in the formation during the charge. The speed and momentum of the Iron Pagoda were far greater than those of the other Khan's personal guards.

And these guards are much stronger than ordinary rangers.

The entire army was stretched into a long strip.

The key to military battle formations is to be in harmony with each other. If there is such a flaw, it will become a burden. The checks and balances between each other seem to be very intimidating, but in fact, it is just intimidating.

Li Guanyi suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

He looked at the changes in the military situation of the pursuers behind him and had a sudden realization.

He thought about how he had been in the Overlord's secret realm under the Zhongzhou Palace, and had been fighting the Overlord in the final battle, disregarding the delicate operations.

At that time, he tried to force his command ability to reach 200,000. In the eyes of the overlord, it was like this now.

It looks majestic and magnificent, but in fact it is vulnerable.

Such is the trend of military spirit.

It can be broken with one move!
Li Guanyi felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

Then he swept the halberd in his hand, deflecting the killing move of the military soul from the opposite side. His blood was surging, and he almost vomited blood. He pressed on the Qilin's back, then turned around and said, "Speed ​​up, speed up!"

Without soldiers and military spirit, these are all empty things.

Although the opponent's army had some flaws due to the urgent gathering of troops, no matter how crude it was, no matter how it could not be compared with the overlord who was the best military commander in the history, he was still the second best general in the contemporary era and was the best in any era.

Li Guanyi had personally experienced the overlord's methods.

It is equivalent to the first person who knows the military situation and tells him step by step how to break this situation.

But now he has no soldiers or generals.

beat?
Fight the hell!
As long as he dares to slow down, even for a breath, the Khan with red eyes behind him can use these tens of thousands of troops to crush Li Guanyi to death!
"This kid can really run!"

The Great Khan's eyes turned red as he watched the girl on the Nine-Colored Divine Deer take out a pill from her arms and throw it to Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi then stuffed a bottle of pill directly into the Fire Kirin's mouth.

While crushing the gourd of medicine in his hand, he tilted his neck back and swallowed all the medicine in the gourd.

The pills fell into his throat one by one and were swallowed.

Immediately, terrifying energy and blood surged, like a furnace, consuming all the medicine.

Produced in the Red Dragon Secret Realm, Hou Zhongyu, the enhanced version of Qi-circulating Powder!

The style of the military doctors in the Qilin Army - anyway, the elixir promotes the circulation of qi, which is basically the stimulation of the meridians of the body by the condensed vital energy. As long as the material of the elixir is changed from one produced in ten years to one produced in a thousand years, it will be able to produce effects even for master-level warriors.

If the effect of one pill is not enough.

Then eat a hundred, a thousand!

As the mighty King of Qin, his territory is vast and rich in resources. He lacks nothing except money.

Watching the opponent eating pills frantically in front of the army.

Moreover, with the help of the elixir, the vitality that had been consumed by the immortality skill began to be replenished at an extremely fast speed, and the veins on the Khan's forehead were throbbing wildly.

As if sensing his anger, the King of Qin tilted his neck back and ate pills frantically, then turned around and raised a finger at the army behind him who were eating Qilin ash.

Although I didn't understand the specific meaning of this action, the undisguised contempt was overwhelming.

Li Guan threw the medicine gourd behind him and said with a smile:

"Do you have a key?"

The Khan's face turned red with anger.

"Li Guanyi!!!"

"How dare you insult me!"

With his long experience in battle, he had already sensed that something was amiss - although Li Guanyi had been discovered, he had the Nine-Colored Divine Deer to guide Li Zhaowen, and Li Zhaowen also brought a large number of energy-restoring pills.

In addition to the first time, there was also the mobilization of troops on the border.

The mobilization of tens of thousands of heavy cavalry would inevitably cause a huge amount of noise.

There are only two explanations as to why the Turks were not aware of it.

One explanation is that Li Zhaowen was lying.

Another explanation is that although the King of Qin acted alone, the other side was well prepared.

Now we have to see what purpose the other side’s army is preparing for.

It was to cover the departure of King Qin.

Or...

The Great Khan's expression darkened.

The experience of hundreds of battles and the instinct of being the second most powerful general in the contemporary era were constantly reminding him, and a consideration kept emerging in his mind, asking him to stop and continue the pursuit.

Something was indeed not right.

Do you want to retreat?!

The Great Khan kept hesitating in his heart, but he slightly turned his eyes to look at the other Khans who came in response to the call, at the brave generals, and at the army that believed in him and galloped at full speed to chase after him.

He sighed.

The dignity of a king, and the price he paid before.

There was no way he could turn back.

Even if there is a large army ahead that Li Guanyi and others have prepared long ago, they cannot turn back.

The Great Khan was just thinking in his heart: "If we want to keep Li Guanyi, 10,000 troops are not enough. We need 10,000 elite Iron Buddha soldiers, and we must pull him into the army from the beginning. We must not let this kid slip away!"

"The vitality of the immortal guest."

“It’s too scary.”

The army was surging, and just as the blood-red sunset in the sky was slowly setting, the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly, at a speed far earlier than the Khan and others had expected.

Muzahe’s thoughts froze.

"?!!!"

We haven’t even reached the border of Xiyi City yet... Oh no!
Could it be that? !

Li Guanyi raised his head and looked into the distance. The sky and the earth were dark. The sun had already set, but the sky had not yet become completely dark. Instead, it was a dark and transparent blue.

Between heaven and earth, a mighty aura rose to the sky, solemn and majestic.

At the limit of the visible line of sight, where the sky and the earth meet, a cloud of yellow dust rose up, like a tide in the south, accompanied by a roar like thunder, and swept towards here at an astonishing speed.

Li Zhaowen shot down an arrow and smiled carefreely:

"You two are right. I did lie."

"And it wasn't just a lie."

"First, it's not just 8,000 black armors and 30,000 heavy cavalry, there are more soldiers and horses to follow."

"second……"

"The King of Qin is here, why would the army be waiting at the border?"

Muzahe was about to draw his bow and shoot, but was stopped by the Khan. His white hair and beard swayed in the wind. He looked at the enemy troops in the distance and tightened the reins. The spirit of the grassland army behind him was a little tense.

This area is not within the reach of the power that reaches Xiyi City.

But it’s close.

Li Guanyi's aura strengthened violently. He held the overlord's weapon in his hand. The Qilin seemed to turn into a ball of flame, tearing straight through the grassland in the dark night, and then rushed towards the galloping Central Plains army.

When these 40,000 cavalrymen galloped, they maintained a high-speed forward motion like a rushing river, but when they discovered Li Guanyi, this high-speed gallop naturally stopped.

The orders were strictly enforced, and the murderous aura became more and more violent, rising into the sky. This was the quality that only the top-notch military corps of this era could possess.

There were several brave generals at the head, leading the cavalry.

The deputy general of the Black Armor Army - Yuchi Xiong.

Li Kedi, the cavalry general of the Western Region Army.

The former commander of Yue Family Army’s heavy cavalry - Ling Pingyang.

The former general of the Taiping Army - Yan Xuanji.

Azure dragons, snow wolves, fierce tigers, violent bears, the sky and the earth were dim, the army was wearing ink-colored armor, riding brave war horses, the Dharma army spirits raised their heads and roared, faintly making the whole space a little distorted, giving off a terrifying evil spirit, a murderous aura that almost made people tremble with fear.

A large army, famous generals, and subsequent measures.

Going alone, that is the bravery and courage of a chivalrous man.

And with a large army of famous generals and tens of thousands of cavalrymen behind them, there is the grace of a king.

All of these warriors are from the Sixth Heaven, and the one leading the way has broad shoulders and a powerful aura. He rides on a strange beast and holds two halberds in his hands. When he laughs loudly, ripples appear in the void around him, and he faintly transforms into a red dragon.

Over a thousand peaks, to the summit of the seventh heaven!

The most experienced general under the King of Qin.

Yue Qianfeng was relieved when he saw Li Guanyi, and then he laughed out loud:
“Hahahaha, I’ve already said it during our previous discussion. It would be better to bring a large army here. However, if you are willing to take a stroll outside, it won’t be a loss. Seeing you in such a mess, hahahaha, I’ve made a profit!”

Li Guanyi said calmly:
“If we had a large army at the beginning, it would be difficult to fight our way through the entire grassland and reach the northern glacier to get what we want, right?” He exhaled, and the Nine-Colored Divine Deer had already landed.

On the back of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer, the girl flipped in the air and fell, landing on the dragon colt next to it. The golden phoenix flew over the battlefield and landed next to Li Guanyi.

Eighth Heaven, Li Zhaowen.

When Li Guanyi came forward, his speed naturally slowed down, and the Turkic army was able to lock on and form a formation smoothly. The military spirit surged, and it seemed that it absorbed the vitality of dozens of miles in a flash, and turned into light arrows that shot down like a rainstorm.

"shield!!!"

Yue Qianfeng shouted.

The style of the Central Plains Iron Cavalry lies in its tight battle formations and more advanced equipment.

Immediately form a shield formation with the evil energy of the military formation.

In the void, the vital energy flowed, combined with the military formation and luck to form a huge shield, seemingly real and unreal, suspended in the air, resisting all the arrows that were pouring down like rain.

The Great Khan's face darkened, and Muzhah's expression also changed.

They looked at the 40,000 troops in front of them, as well as more than five famous generals on the list of divine generals. The King of Qin rode on a Qilin, slowly turned around, looked at the Turks in front of him, raised the weapon in his hand, and as he breathed in and out, the aura of a hegemon rose again.

Although his robes were stained with blood and looked disheveled, his brows were raised and he looked dignified.

"Welcome here."

"Great Khan, this place is closer to Xiyi City than your Great Khan's tent."

"Why don't we go back and enjoy the singing and dancing together?"

The Great Khan looked at Li Guanyi with sharp eyes.

The King of Qin raised the weapon in his hand, and the black and red flames rose and twisted, slowly connecting with the 40,000 troops behind him. Suddenly, there was no sound between heaven and earth, only a murderous silence.

Who is the one who is greedy for merit and reckless?

Was it the King of Qin who sneaked in for the sake of Murong Longtu's life? Or was it the Great Khan who had clearly sensed something was wrong but ignored his uneasiness and kept moving forward in order to win the world's number one meritorious man.

There is only one answer.

Who loses.

Who is that person who is greedy and reckless?
Nowadays, offense and defense are easy to deal with.

All that's left is a head-on fight to the death!
But is it really so?

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes slightly.

………………

At the same time Li Zhaowen set out.

From the very edge of the grassland, a gentle laugh was heard.

"The Seventh Prince and his wife are here. Are they here to see the child? The child is very smart and well-behaved. He looks like the queen, but he is as brave as the Seventh Prince. I have been teaching him the art of war these days, and he has been learning the writing and classics of the Central Plains. He is learning very quickly."

The seventh prince Ashina looked at the man in front of him with a complicated expression.

The thirty-seven-year-old Ashina met the thirty-three-year-old Pojun.

Just like five years ago.

The strategist held the child born to Ashina and Princess Yingguo in his arms. As he grew older, his temperament became more refined and mellow. He smiled, but his eyes were still as sharp and arrogant as when they first met.

Ashina waved his child over, touched his head and talked to him with a smile, then asked the guards beside him to take the child to find his mother, while he stayed here to personally entertain Pojun.

Ashina had already grown a beard and was almost forty years old. He felt that he had experienced a lot of things, met heroes and heroes all over the world, and also saw the turbulent and terrifying battlefield in the Central Plains. He had also been ambitious to step into this world.

Then he met the King Shenwu at that time and was seriously injured.

It was a rare opportunity to escape with my life. While recuperating from my injuries, I listened to the great battles taking place in the Central Plains on the grassland.

Even heroes like King Shenwu and famous generals like Lu Youxian died in battle.

Ashina became much calmer.

He has succeeded, failed, and narrowly escaped death. Now that he has a child, his state of mind is no longer the same as it was back then.

However, this strategist still only needed one sentence to stir up the fire in Ashina's heart -

The counselor smiled and said:
"Do you want to replace your father?"
