Chapter 272 The Million Liangzhou Army was defeated by 50,000 soldiers
"We haven't reached Yong'an yet, Liangzhou Army will be gone first." Gu Shanhai sighed.
Today is the twelfth day after departure, and only 12,000 of the original 30,000 Dao soldiers in Zhou Mu are left, and many other soldiers and Dao soldiers have also died.
Everyone in the Liangzhou Army who watched this scene was a little terrified, and they were about to collapse.
As for the urgent march, it can indeed speed up the arrival. The problem is how can a million troops be so well dispatched, and not everyone here is the same soldier. What's more, there are more soldiers in this million-dollar army, and they can't keep up with the speed of Dao soldiers.
The number has increased, causing a lot of confusion here.
"Teacher, do you think this state pastor will jump over the wall in a hurry?" Jiang Lu asked with some concern.
Everyone can see that Qiao Xuan's fight is the idea of capturing the thief first.
"Who knows, but it doesn't matter if he jumps over the wall in a hurry, it won't affect us." Gu Shanhai said calmly.
Opposite is the state shepherd dog who is anxious to jump over the wall, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the state shepherd has no ability to deal with Qiao Xuan and his Xunying Taoist soldiers. He is inferior in numbers and strength. How can he win.
So the so-called dog jumping over the wall will only target your own Liangzhou army instead of the enemy.
"Besides, you don't think that's the way to go. I guess Zhou Mu has already transferred troops from Liangzhou. Don't forget that he still has 70,000 Taoist soldiers and many subordinates in Liangzhou." Gu Shan Hai knew that if the opponent had no way to kill Zhou Mu directly, reinforcements would arrive soon.
A million-strong army cannot march in a hurry, but his own Taoist soldiers can march in a hurry. According to Gu Shanhai's estimation, they can arrive today if they are fast.
"Is he really willing to spend so much money?" Jiang Lu was a little puzzled.
"It's not that he is willing to spend his money, but that he is now riding a tiger. If he goes back, he will lose face. After such a big battle, you will be beaten and run away in despair. What do people in the world think of him? If you continue to move forward, Either increase troops, or wait to die."
"He wants face, and he also wants to stay, so he can only ask for support."
In this world, reputation is an extremely precious resource. For some people, losing face is not much different from death.
"Then if it were you, what would you do?" Gu Shanhai asked Jiang Lu again.
Jiang Lu thought about it from another position, but his expression was a bit embarrassed. If he was in the position of state shepherd, he would do the same.
Not because he was stupid, but because he had to.
"Zhou Mu is right, he just didn't expect that the opponent would take the initiative to attack and defeat them one by one." Gu Shanhai also saw the opponent's answer from Jiang Lu's face, so he skipped such a topic.
"Of one hundred and eight states in Dataki, there will always be one state that can be reached." Jiang Lu said.
"What does this have to do with our Liangzhou, we can prepare to go back home." Gu Shanhai had an inexplicable illusion, as if the eighteen princes were begging for Dong, but in the end, ten princes were met by Lu Bu before they even arrived. , Hua Xiong and others blocked the door and killed them all one by one.
This incident really caught Gu Shanhai by surprise. With his strong strength, Liangzhou can only be ranked in the 70s in the 108 states of Dataki. A veteran came here with 50,000 soldiers. , Let their millions of troops be about to disintegrate.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Zhou Mu.
If he brought out all his 100,000 Dao soldiers, and also brought the master of the army under his command, Qiao Xuan's 50,000 Swift Shadow Dao soldiers would have to be killed on the spot instead of letting the opponent jump repeatedly.
He wants benefits but doesn't want to pay, and he also wants to have a way out. It's a beautiful idea, but it's far from what he thought.
"Qiao Xuan is here again?" Jiang Lu quickly realized.
"Yes, look at this momentum, it is ready to send Zhou Mu on the road." Gu Shanhai narrowed his eyes, and he found that this time was different from the previous one. The previous one was to weaken it, but this time it was directly killed.
The reason for such trouble is also very simple. Even if Qiao Xuan had 50,000 Xunying Dao soldiers, he would not be able to please him.
Because of the agility of the whole point, the defense and lethality were greatly reduced. If Zhou Mu was to be killed, Qiao Xuan's 50,000 Dao soldiers would have to die by 35,000 or even 40,000. For Qiao Xuan, it was not worth it. With this guerrilla strategy, Qiao Xuan would be cut down by one or two thousand people from time to time. If the number of times was too high, let alone 30,000, 300,000 people would not be able to withstand it.
Now the opponent has only 15,000 people left. Qiao Xuan uses this method to reduce the number. Not to mention that there is no loss of 50,000 people, but at most he will lose 1,800 people. Liangzhou Army.
Sure enough, chaos began to pervade, and Qiao Xuan's actions were so powerful that even the soldiers on Gu Shanhai's side were aware of it.
"Teacher, do you think these 50,000 Xunying Dao soldiers can kill our million troops?" Jiang Lu also looked solemn.
"If you talk about the millions of Taoist soldiers under the command of the military master, you don't have to do it yourself. If you use a strategy, Qiao Xuan's 50,000 Xunying Taoist soldiers will become lambs to be slaughtered, but you, the so-called million-man Mali, have Ninety percent of them are soldiers, and Dao soldiers are still fragmented, what do you think?" Gu Shanhai glanced at Jiang Lu, it was not night yet, why did he start dreaming, could it be fantasy time?
"Then I'll send the order, and we'll leave as soon as possible." Jiang Lu understood what Gu Shanhai meant, that is, he really could, but the other party didn't care about you, as long as the Liangzhou army fled.
One Liangzhou is not a threat to the Yong'an Army at all, but there is not only one Liangzhou Army in the entire Dataki.
"Let's go, Zhou Mu is dead." Gu Shanhai said after watching Zhou Mu being shot through the chest by Qiao Xuan.
The hanging that Gu Shanhai said was really hanging in the physical sense. After death, the state shepherd was directly hung on the banner, and because of the death of the soldier master, the strength of the Taoist soldiers was instantly beaten back to its original form.
The carnage began quickly, starting with the head.
Qiao Xuan's purpose is not to really kill the million troops, but to use it as a deterrent to kill the morale of the whole army.
Then the entire large army began to collapse, and the chaos became more and more serious, while Jiang Lu, who was in the right army, began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
Of course, Jiang Lu was not the only one who evacuated, and many capable people had already noticed this, so when the chaos started, they also took advantage of the chaos to run away together.
Everyone understands that Qiao Xuan's Xunying Taoist soldiers are flawed against state shepherds of the same level, and it is not a weakness at all when facing Dao soldiers like him and others who only have a few hundred.
The weak defense of level 100 is when facing the same level, and no matter how weak the defense of level 100 is, it cannot be shaken by level 10. The difference in innate attributes is enough to crush them.
Perhaps Xunying Daobing would be tired after killing a million people, but no one would bet on being the one to be killed.
"Shi He is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
Shi He is the name of the prefect of Liangzhou.
The soldiers and Taoist soldiers of the former army immediately surrendered. They all faced Qiao Xuan directly.
The left and right armies and the rear army were defeated and ran away, and the whole was a mess.
Under such a situation, the masters of the army and the soldiers can still be preserved, and they are also extraordinary individuals. On the contrary, many soldiers died of stampede incidents due to chaos and other reasons.
It’s true that they have good physical fitness, and the physical fitness of those who step on them is also good.
Fortunately, the people led by Jiang Lu and Gu Shanhai left very quickly. One of them was small, with only 800 soldiers and 5,000 soldiers. It is true that the number is more than other military leaders, but if it is included in the overall number, it is really Just a handful of them.
Of course, Gu Shanhai's 200-hearted demon soldiers were put away directly by him. These things are supernatural powers, not real soldiers.
"Teacher, it may be difficult to go back, at least you have to take a detour." Although Jiang Lu led the team to leave early and was not affected by the chaos, it was limited to this.
It is not so easy for him to turn around and go back. He is in the right army, and there is a rear army behind him. If he really wants to follow this speed, he will definitely be slow and may even be coerced.
If you make a detour, you will have to go around in a big circle, and there may be unknown dangers.
"Go around, go back as soon as possible." Gu Shanhai looked calm.
It doesn’t matter if the Allied Forces are not in the limelight, it’s a good thing that Zhou Mu is dead.
As for the imperial court re-appointing the state shepherd? I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, at least until the coalition forces and a certain military master in power have not decided the outcome, both sides can completely deny it.
"Map!" Jiang Lu shouted, and then a Taoist soldier hurried over with a map in his hand.
"I don't need a map, I'll show you the way." A picture appeared in Gu Shanhai's eyes, and he got the answer directly through divination.
At this time, Jiang Lu also waved his hand, and then left in the way of taking care of Shanhai.
Following Gu Shanhai's command, the 5,800 of them quickly left the main force.
Gu Shanhai also felt a little regretful. He originally planned to collect the atmosphere of the military spirit in the big scene, but it turned out to be a good thing, and the middle way collapsed.
They didn't wait for you to gather at all, and they broke you halfway.
Not only do they not follow your rhythm, but also let you fall into his rhythm. This is the norm, not that they can rush into the enemy all the way like a long Aotian, and most of the time they can't even run.
When you are weak, failure is common. If you succeed in everything, you will already be a strong person
What's more, what's more, they are still facing a strong enemy, so it's only a problem if they can win.
"It's almost there, you can take a rest, the soldiers can't stand it anymore."
After being in a hurry for about a day, Gu Shanhai finally spoke.
Taoist soldiers can carry it, but soldiers cannot.
Jiang Lu was also tense along the way, he was relieved to hear Gu Shanhai speak, and then arranged to bury the pot for cooking.
"Teacher, you should be fine now." Jiang Lu asked when he came back after arranging matters.
"How would I know, if I knew everything, how could I run away with you." Gu Shanhai is very honest, and he is not a omnipotent existence.
In this high-level world, he is only at the lower level of individual strength. After all, his system is different from the system of this world. People follow the group's might and others follow the individual's might. It is normal to have a gap, and there is no gap. He will not come to this world.
"Okay, teacher, you are right." Jiang Lu was also a little helpless, mainly because the future was too uncertain, and he was a little confused.
Liangzhou is a small place, not big, and it is also the first time for him to face the existence of a veteran like Qiao Xuan. The gap between the two sides is really too big, so big that he is at a loss.
All along, he felt that the Dragon Tooth Daoist was a formidable enemy. Later, he met Zhou Mu, and now he saw Qiao Xuan and his Swift Shadow Daoist. This sense of gap made him a little uncomfortable.
What's more important is that whether it's Qiao Xuan or Zhou Mu, they are just the prelude to this battle, and the little Xiami among them has more powerful existences that can easily crush him to death.
"What? Feel like I can't do it again?" Gu Shanhai teased.
"No, I just wonder why the world is so big." Jiang Lu knew the difference between himself and them. They had family backgrounds and resources to allow them to practice unscrupulously, and they could also make Taoist soldiers well-equipped. He only had Gu Shanhai and others. With the help of others, if they can compete with each other, then it is impossible for these people to have these achievements.
"The world? Do you think Otaki is the world?" Gu Shanhai is also amused, which is as ridiculous as some people think that the Central Plains is the whole world.
"Couldn't it be?" Jiang Lu obviously had no relevant knowledge.
"The grasslands of the barbarians in the north, the sea outside the south, etc., are all unknown places that can be explored. Why do you think Dataki can represent the whole world?"
"The world is very big, if you only focus on Otaki, your achievements in a lifetime will be like that." Gu Shanhai said slightly sarcastically.
"Teacher, you have a lot of experience. For me, Otaki is already very big." Jiang Lu knew that Gu Shanhai wanted to take a long-term view of himself, but for him, winning the entire Liangzhou was already long enough. Gu Shanhai's future is far from an area that he can set foot in.
If you really want to see so far without the matching strength, then you are too ambitious.
He doesn't listen to Gu Shanhai in everything, and Gu Shanhai won't dictate everything, both sides have their own independence.
"Well, I see. If we go at the current speed, we can go back in about five days." Gu Shanhai heard what Jiang Lu said, so he skipped the topic.
Five days is normal. They left a million people for 12 days because of the large number and it is difficult to manage them in a unified manner. Now there are 5,800 people, which is much better in terms of management, and there is no drag from others. The speed of going back is natural It's much faster than when it came.
"Five days, is that enough time?" Jiang Lu asked.
"There must be enough time, I'm afraid they won't be ready." Gu Shanhai knew that if he wanted to attack the city, he didn't just have to lead people to kill him, but also needed food, supplies, logistics management and so on.
