Capítulo 1265: Chapter 84: Outbreak of the Great Battle!
The Fifth Divine General under heaven, Yuwen Lie, appeared in Xiyi City. Xiyi City had accumulated all the resources of Ying Country’s western border cities. Troops were mobilized, gathering a total of two hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Xiyi City.
Although He Ruoqinhu previously led his troops to a great defeat.
However, Duke Li, retreated as swiftly as the wind.
Without hesitation, he fled.
Retreat!
Under such circumstances, although he lost the territories that Yuwen Lie had expanded after conquering Tuyuhun, he managed to preserve the strength of Ying Country’s western regions to the greatest extent.
But this ti, he could not retreat. He was forced onto the turbulent stage of this world, and the Yuwen family had already expanded its borders. Thus, Yuwen Lie, Yuwen Tianxian, and Li Zhaowen, the three guest generals in Anxi City, couldn’t help but feel a change in their mood, lowering their spirits.
Although according to the rules of being a guest and their own moral codes, they would not backstab Anxi City at this ti.
However, amidst such national turmoil, letting them lead troops to battle outside Anxi City felt almost ruthlessly cruel. These three generals had no choice but to rest in Anxi City for the ti being.
Yuwen Lie, in this era, was a divine general with nation-destroying military achievents—arrogant, indifferent, yet solemn and dignified. He had reached the Nine-layered Heaven Realm, embodying the White Tiger Dharma Form. Under his command were eight thousand Tiger Barbarian Cavalry, one of the three ace cavalry corps.
Yuwen Lie, with just his Tiger Barbarian Cavalry, had the ans to confront martial arts legends.
The Qingpao Changsheng had already proven the threat of this fierce tiger with his life.
Facing such an opponent, the Wolf King was even more cautious than when dealing with He Ruoqinhu.
He Ruoqinhu, an old general, though highly renowned and experienced, lacked vigorous blood and courage. The cunning Wolf King faced a divine general, akin to Li Guanyi’s peer, unmatched in military strategy, martial arts, or physique—all at the pinnacle of his career—and could not be underestimated in the slightest.
The situation had reached this point.
Strategy and tactics had already been pushed to their limits.
Both foes and allies had a very direct and clear purpose!
Then let’s fight to the death!
The Wolf King’s army advanced in three separate divisions, simultaneously calling upon twenty-seven khans who had been granted fiefdoms, promising them rewards after taking Xiyi City, and warning them that if Yuwen Lie achieved a great victory.
That icy, arrogant White Tiger would show no rcy to the Western Region tribes. Seizing the opportunity back then, he carried out a forced march and wiped out Tuyuhun in one fell swoop. The Tuyuhun nobles were all slain by Yuwen Lie.
It’s just a pity that the Hun King Seal did not fall into his hands.
Thus, Yuwen Lie harbored a hidden anger towards the Western Regions.
Being transferred to the Central Plains battlefield was one thing, but now that he was in the Western Regions, he would surely show no rcy.
Therefore, many khans, whether out of coercion or for benefits, all made their choices, each waving their banners, joining the Wolf King’s army as auxiliary troops. The Wolf King’s Army painfully bit down on He Ruoqinhu, losing over seventy thousand n, and after fighting in many other places, now only had about a hundred thousand warriors and a ten-thousand-strong logistics force left. Facing Yuwen Lie, they held no advantage.
This was bound to be an absolute slaughter.
“This is, the battle between a lone divine general and a nation.”
Breaking Army’s tone was sowhat somber: “Even a divine general as formidable as the Wolf King, capable of claiming victory in every battle and conquering every siege, will suffer casualties and exhaustion during this ti. Though he appeared to hold invincible montum, looking down upon everything, in reality, he was on the decline.”
“The more one places, the fewer n remain.”
“Yet Ying Country, occupying the Central Plains, spanning tens of thousands of miles, can still hold on for a while, even if it ans cutting flesh to stop the bleeding, able to imdiately produce another Yuwen Lie and such a large army after a warlord like He Ruoqinhu is defeated.”
“This is what’s known as a [National War].”
“In a national war, the nation’s power is the foundation of victory or defeat on the battlefield.”
“Wolf King…”
Breaking Army fell silent. He didn’t want to articulate this outco, but it was evident—the outco for the Wolf King was the sa, regardless of victory or loss, destined to die. Duke Li, calm and restrained, retreated like the wind, and he withdrew completely.
He planned to wear down the Wolf King to death.
However, Yuwen Lie was different.
This mighty and solemn general would undoubtedly choose to clash head-on with the Wolf King, aiming for a victorious campaign that left no room for dispute—a ferocious tiger swallowing a wolf.
Li Guanyi spoke: “…If the Wolf King is defeated, we can no longer hope for the Western Regions. Yuwen Lie will certainly co for a grand battle with us.”
“Mr. Po Jun, prepare to mobilize the troops and go support the Wolf King.”
Breaking Army stood up and cupped his hands, “Yes.”
The Heavenly Strategy Mansion began its operations.
Yan Daiqing was in charge of logistics, Breaking Army oversaw overall strategy, Yuan Zhi managed the military front lines, while Wen He was responsible for forming an alliance with Lu Youxian.
Regarding this last point, Li Guanyi was highly skeptical.
Mr. Wen He claid that Lan Wendu still owed them five hundred thousand taels of silver.
So Marquis Qin Wu gladly gave his consent.
He looked up at the sky, holding a sword, it was already spring, and the sky in the Western Regions was beautiful. Li Guanyi grasped the blade of the Chi Xiao Sword with one hand, and with the other hand, he drew this divine sword, its blade glistening with a golden red radiance, reflecting in Li Guanyi’s eyes.
Yuwen Lie…
Li Guanyi pondered.
This was the first top-tier divine general he encountered in his life.
Back then, he was still in Jiangzhou City, rely a Second Layer Heaven Imperial Guard, while Yuwen Lie had already exterminated Tuyuhun and, in his thirties, beca the Fifth Divine General in the world, his arrogance awe-inspiring.
At that ti, Yuwen Lie harbored extre killing intent towards him, which Jiang Gao blocked. However, looking back on those events now, they seed surreal.
