Chapter 165: Black and White Torrent, Shining Out
"Boom, boom, boom!"

Huge rocks, burning with flames, rolled down from the sky.

Like a meteor shower.

The horrifying shouts of killing pierced the sky.

This is the center of the battlefield in Longyao State.

The fireballs that fell like meteors continued to hit the city.

However, the fireball did not fall on the top of the city.

Just when it reached mid-air, it was blocked by a transparent light curtain.

Outside the invisible light curtain, countless fireballs exploded and the flames spread rapidly.

From a distance, the entire city's periphery looked like it was covered by a huge circular flaming sky.

Endless shouts and cries of killing echoed around the city and on the top of the city walls.

The smell of blood rose up.

The Sui army camp in the center of the city, and the Yuan army camp below the city.

In the center of the two armies, one above and one below, stood two indifferent figures.

Song Que, Kublai Khan.

The two men just stood calmly in the center of their respective armies.

He looked at the battlefield ahead with a calm gaze.

It seemed that the soldiers who kept falling down and the blood-spattered battlefield had nothing to do with them at all.

It was as if the two men were just spectators of the battle, not the commanders of the two armies.

Of course, the two military formations floating above their heads indicate that they are not really completely out of the matter.

The sharp eyes met in the air. Although there was no movement, one could still vaguely feel the murderous intent bursting out from the eyes.

But overall.

In the entire Longyaozhou battlefield, except for some local areas in the center where fierce fighting was taking place, the situation in other places was tense, but it seemed that the war had not yet started.

And just when the great battle was going on in Longyao Province.

Another place, the battlefield between the two Liao dynasties.

The two parties that were originally in confrontation also began to contact each other.

However, his defense is completely different from Song Que's in Longyao State.

Guarding here were three young generals, who obviously made a different choice from Song Que.

On top of the city.

Li Jing still stood in the center.

The military formation above has covered the entire city.

A vast six-colored flower bloomed completely on the top of the city.

From the outside, Li Jing's formation has obviously become much more perfect compared to the previous battle with Goguryeo.

The two illusory doors had been completely eliminated, and the eight-petal flower had also completely turned into six colors.

The six-colored petals kept spinning on the top of the city, and streams of aura hung down, protecting the city below and also countering the military formation of the Li Yang army opposite.

Li Shimin and Yang Xuangan, who were originally on the top of the city wall and formed a battle formation with Li Jing, had already left their original places.

If you shift your gaze, you can see that the two men have actually left the well-defended city.

Two figures, one from the east and one from the west, had already arrived outside the city.

And behind them were thousands of murderous cavalrymen.

From the looks of it, the two people's thoughts couldn't be more obvious.

They were actually preparing to charge.

Judging from the situation, the Liyang army undoubtedly has an advantage in terms of manpower.

With the famous general Wang Sui in command, the most appropriate strategy is undoubtedly to defend the city.

But looking at the two people now, I feel that this kind of scene is really normal.

The three defenders now are all still young, and neither their marching methods nor their command methods have reached their peak.

But a person's character is determined from a young age.

Although Li Jing was not averse to using strange and risky strategies when conducting military operations, he was actually a prudent person in his bones. Unless he was sure enough, Li Jing would not casually come up with strange strategies or use surprising troops.

But Li Shimin and Yang Xuangan are different.

These two are lawless people.

If he was the only one here, he might be able to restrain himself and stay with Li Jing to defend the city.

But now that two of them appear at the same time and are competing with each other, how can they possibly be honest?

Yes, these two have been competing with each other since the first time they met.

Needless to say, Yang Xuangan's character could be seen from the first time he met Gao Changsheng.

It can be completely described in one sentence: God is the boss and he is the second.

When he first met him in the Daxing military camp, he denounced the other disciples as useless.

Li Shimin is also in this case.

Of course, after the subsequent battlefields and the exchanges after arriving in the two Liao regions.

Yang Xuangan had also discovered long ago that the two people in the city were not good-for-nothings, but were extremely outstanding heroes.

But even though he knew it, Yang Xuangan would definitely not show it, let alone bow his head in submission.

For him, having one Gao Changsheng in this world is enough.

Although he didn't say it, Yang Xuangan understood in his heart that he might not be able to catch up with Gao Changsheng in this lifetime.

In terms of strength, the fact that he is a miraculous grandmaster who is proficient in both military and martial arts is enough to make people despair.

But Gao Changsheng is not just that. His performance in other areas makes his peers even more despair.

Not to mention the power, territory, and even military strength at hand.

The way Gao Changsheng invited them this time alone is enough to show everything.

There was no letter, no words, only a simple token.

It's just a token, but it's more effective and more impactful than any words or any tough measures.

King's order.

As people of the Sui Dynasty and commanders of troops, they certainly knew the significance of this token.

Moreover, Gao Changsheng dared to use it so openly, so there was no doubt that it must have been handed over to the other party by King Kaoshan himself.

This also shows one thing, at least in the eyes of King Yang Lin, or in the eyes of the current high-level military of the Sui Dynasty.

Gao Changsheng’s identity has been determined. He is the successor of King Kaoshan and the new generation pillar of the Sui Dynasty.

He is also the first person in the military.

To put it another way, Gao Changsheng is no longer on the same level as them.

No matter how unwilling they were, they dared not refuse Gao Changsheng's command and could only obey.

Unless one day, some terrible upheaval happens in the Sui Dynasty.

But regardless of how high the possibility is, even if it really happens, at least no one dares to say that now.

Moreover, even if the Sui Dynasty really had problems, it did not necessarily mean that Gao Changsheng would also have problems, nor did it mean that he, Yang Xuangan, could surpass the other party.

Back to the present, Yang Xuangan was very clear that it was unlikely that he would surpass Gao Changsheng.

But that doesn't mean he can tolerate others being better than himself.

For example, Li Shimin in front of us.

Li Shimin had the same feeling, and it was even stronger than Yang Xuangan's.

He had personally seen Gao Changsheng deploy his troops in Goguryeo, and had even easily taken over his own military formation from him.

For a proud man like Li Shimin, that feeling was naturally not pleasant.

Let’s not talk about what the real thoughts are in my heart.

As Li Shimin himself, he undoubtedly did not want another peer to appear above him besides Gao Changsheng.

It is precisely because of this mentality of the two, coupled with their fearless character.

This has led to the current situation.

As for why the two did not compete with Li Jing.

It's very simple. No matter who you are, when facing a person with a smile on his face who will not respond to any provocative remarks you make, he will probably temporarily lose the desire to compete.

"Boom, boom, boom."

A sound like thunder exploded in the sky.

The two were located on the east and west sides of the city and did not choose to set out at the same time.

And the number of cavalry behind them was not large.

At a glance, it can be roughly seen that the two men only brought three or four thousand cavalry each.

From this point, it can also be seen that although the two were competing, they did not gamble with the safety of the entire city.

This number of cavalry obviously would not account for a large proportion in a large-scale siege.

But from another perspective, especially from Li Yang's side.

The behavior of the two people can be described as completely humiliating. After all, their attitudes are obvious.

They are prepared to use the battlefield in front of them as an arena for their competition.

The Li Yang army on the opposite side is the living target in this competition.

"Insanity!"

An angry roar sounded immediately.

The angry roar, like thunder, exploded in the air.

The source of the sound was right under the big banner of Li Yang's main formation.

However, the one who spoke was not the commander-in-chief Wang Sui, but Zhao Yi, the Prince of Guangling who was beside Wang Sui.

Of course, his anger is understandable.

You know, the current situation is that they are attacking Li Yang and the other side is defending.

A mighty army of 200,000 has arrived at the city, and they are all elite Guangling troops he sent out from his garrison.

Needless to say, the commander-in-chief was Wang Sui, the prince consort of Dongyue, who was as famous as Xu Xiao and Gu Jiantang.

With such a powerful combination, if Gao Changsheng himself were here, Zhao Yi would definitely not dare to say anything.

But now a few young men guarding the city dared to be so arrogant. When they did not attack, they even dared to go out of the city and fight.

And it seems that they are not just charging into the formation, but are actually divided into two parts, using them as objects to compete in ability.

This is the case.

Not to mention Zhao Yi, who always has a bad temper, even if a good man were here, he would probably be furious.

"Hahaha."

But Wang Sui, who was in the lead, did not show any anger. Instead, he laughed loudly towards the sky.

The prince consort of Dong Yue was actually an extremely rebellious person. After all, he could be regarded as the one with the best background and the youngest among the four famous generals.

But after decades of ups and downs, this former prince consort of Dongyue seemed to have a unique temperament as if he was reborn from the ashes and washed away all the worldly desires.

"The Great Sui Dynasty is really full of heroes. First there was Gao Changsheng, and now there are three younger generations like this."

"Facing Wang, not only did he take the initiative to attack, but he also dared to treat him as nothing and gamble with him. What courage."

"Looking at Liyang, or even the entire Spring and Autumn Period, I'm afraid only Xu Xiao back then would dare to charge into the battle array so fearlessly."

"As for Gu Jiantang, he is very methodical in his use of troops and would not do such a thing."

Wang Sui laughed loudly, but there was still no anger in his words, instead there was a hint of admiration.

"Well, Mr. Wang hasn't been on the battlefield for a long time, so I can just take a look at what amazing performances the younger generation can bring."

Wang then smiled lightly, and as soon as he finished speaking.

The Guangling army, which was originally arranged neatly in the field, suddenly began to move.

Wang Sui's large banner and the main camp of the central army did not move.

But on the left and right sides, that is, the east and west sides, two huge spaces appeared at the same time.

At the back of the space, there are two huge semicircular connections, facing the front in an encircling posture.

From a distance, the left and right sides look like two deliberately enclosed platforms.

In the middle of the arc, two Liyang cavalry units that had completed their formation had already appeared there.

It was obvious that the targets were Li Shimin and Yang Xuangan.

After the formation change is completed.

The armies of Yang Xuangan and Li Shimin were completely divided into two battlefields.

Whether they join forces or attack Wang Sui's banner, they will face layers of obstacles.

"Wang Sui, what do you mean?"

Generally speaking, Wang Sui's approach is undoubtedly perfect.

But Zhao Yi next to him was the first to roar.

"This is a battlefield, not a stage. Do you think my Guangling Army is a play?"

"The enemy has only a few thousand men. Why don't you attack with all your might, annihilate them, capture the city, and quickly march north?"

"Wang Sui, what exactly are you planning?" Zhao Yi's roar almost echoed throughout the entire venue.

After hearing this, the smile on Wang Sui's face began to slowly disappear.

"Zhao Yi, I have always understood your purpose."

"Before, I just didn't bother to pay attention to you, but now the battle is about to begin."

"Wang will only respond to you once, but remember, this is also the last time."

"Wang is not anyone's subordinate. You and even Zhao Dun from Tai'an City have always been my enemies."

"This time Wang agreed to be the commander, but it was just a cooperation between the two sides."

"Wang doesn't think highly of your Guangling Army, and usually doesn't care about your actions."

"But once the battle begins, only one voice is allowed in the entire army."

"Any of my orders and instructions cannot be questioned by anyone, at least you, Zhao Yi, are not qualified to do so."

Having said that, Wang Sui also saw the increasingly obvious anger on Zhao Yi's face.

"Of course, if you don't agree, it's easy. I will turn around and leave now. The army will be handed over to you again. Whether it is encirclement and annihilation or siege, it is up to you."

After these words were spoken, Zhao Yi's face suddenly changed color.

"Your Majesty, General Wang, you are joking. I don't mean that. Of course, you are still in charge of the army. It's just that General Wang's military tactics are profound and I am a little confused."

It is certainly easy for him to control the army, but he has to face his opponents alone, as well as unknown enemies and even Gao Changsheng. Zhao Yi is certainly unsure.

"Hmph, if you don't understand, then just stay aside and think about it. I am not your teacher. I don't have the leisure to answer your questions."

"Although Zhao Dun is narrow-minded and does things by any means necessary, he is much smarter than a fool like you. Why do you think Zhao Dun should lower himself and ask Wang to come out of retirement?"

Zhao Yi was slightly stunned. Of course he knew that Zhao Dun knew Wang Sui well. Besides the fact that they no longer had a capable commander in Liyang, the more important point was that they could not afford any more losses.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi reacted suddenly and turned his head to look at Wang Sui.

But Wang Sui no longer paid any attention to the other party. Instead, he turned his head and looked forward again.

In the western Longyao Prefecture, although the fighting seemed fierce, Kublai Khan did not actually order the entire army to attack, but only maintained a state of local fighting.

Of course Wang Sui couldn't see the situation in Longyao Prefecture, but in fact he had guessed it long ago.

Unless the commander of the Yuan army is too stupid, it is impossible for him to devote all his strength at this time.

The reason, naturally, is the other one of the three armies.

Among the three parties, Beimang sent Tuoba Bodhisattva and Dong Zhuo this time, and their strength is the strongest among the three parties.

Beimang also suffered the greatest losses before.

This time, Li Yang advanced from south to south, the Mongols passed through Beimang and attacked from the west, while the Beimang army advanced from north to south and directly attacked the city of Nanjing.

Although before the war, it was said that three armies attacked at the same time.

But both Kublai Khan and Wang Sui tacitly assumed the role of feint attack.

They all understood that this time, Beimang’s battle in Nanjing City was actually the core.

Moreover, if Gao Changsheng had the means, he would definitely place the strongest in Nanjing City.

Although at present, neither Kublai Khan nor Wang Sui can guess Gao Changsheng's true methods.

It is obviously unlikely for Gu Jiantang. Even though the other party has handed over his troops, he must have also gained something from Gao Changsheng. Moreover, given how much Gu Jiantang cherishes his life, he will not risk his life easily, especially when facing Tuoba Bodhisattva.

Of course, not knowing doesn’t mean they can’t wait.

Just like the choices made by Kublai Khan and Wang Sui, it was obvious that they were deliberately maintaining the status quo and waiting for news on the battle situation in Nanjing.

If the city of Nanjing was captured by the Northern Mang, they would naturally lead their troops to attack decisively, and by then, the resistance encountered in the attack would be much weakened.

If the Beimang army encounters an accident, the armies of the two countries can also respond quickly.

There will be enough time to choose whether to withdraw troops for defense or other options.

Wang Sui certainly would not tell Zhao Yi about all this. After all, they were not in the same camp. And as Wang Sui said, in his eyes, Zhao Yi was not worthy of communicating with him on an equal footing.

"Boom, boom!"

Just when this little episode happened.

Roaring sounds were heard simultaneously on two battlefields, one on the left and one on the right.

The sound of iron hooves exploded, and two torrents appeared at the same time.

To the east was a black tide like lightning.

And to the west was a white whirlwind.

One is black and the other is white, they are clearly in opposition, but what is the same is that they both carry a fierce momentum that can tear everything apart.

"Good formation, good soldiers."

The king then sighed loudly.

"This white rider seems to have a hint of the charm of Chen Qingzhi back then. Although it has not reached its peak, it has already captured its spirit."

"Wang has heard that Chen Qingzhi's inheritance seemed to be in Yang Su's hands, but he did not choose to rebuild it, but instead created his own Moon Rider. So it seems that this person is Yang Su's son."

"And this black armored cavalry has many traces, but it is more compatible with me and has a stronger impact than the other one. This is actually an army that this boy built from scratch. What a good idea and courage."

"Okay, okay, you two really amazed me."

Wang Sui's eyes flickered and he stared at the black and white torrents in the distance with a smile, praising loudly.
