Chapter 195: Big Banner, Gray Wolf, Thirteen Wings

"General Lee, General Lee."

On the top of the city wall, a young man in light armor was looking into the distance with a frown.

The water of the Han River, which was originally flowing, seemed to be blocked by something.

There was no longer any sound of flowing water.

It looked like a pool of stagnant water.

"General Lee, General Lee."

Another soft cry woke the man up.

The man then turned around and looked at the scout in front of him.

"What's the matter?"

"The Yuan army on the west side suddenly changed direction and headed straight for Fancheng."

The scout spoke urgently.

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Send troops and stop them."

Without any hesitation, the man spoke quickly.

"General, we..."

The deputy general beside him spoke softly.

"Send out all 15,000 cavalrymen in the city."

Li Shimin waved his hand decisively.

"What? General, there are 15,000 cavalrymen, and there are only infantrymen left in Fancheng." The deputy general exclaimed.

"And the Marshal's order..."

He didn't wait for the deputy general to finish speaking.

Li Shimin waved his hand again.

"Infantry is enough to defend the city, and Xiangfan is connected, so our main force can provide support at any time."

"Go and pass the order."

Li Shimin spoke in a cold voice.

Gao Changsheng's previous order allowed him to stop the Yuan army with only 3,000 soldiers.

But Gao Changsheng's order clearly had a deeper meaning.

But of course, there is no need to explain these to the deputy general.

After giving instructions to the deputy general, Li Shimin turned his head again.

On the west side of Fancheng, the four-wing cavalry were coming with great momentum. They could attack Fancheng directly, or turn around at any time, bypass Fancheng, and move diagonally to the rear of the Sui army. This posed a great threat to both Fancheng and the entire Sui army.

But no matter how powerful the four heroes were, or how powerful the four wings of the Yuan army were, they were still just a small force.

The key to the entire battlefield lies in the front.

In Gao Changsheng and Temujin.

The confrontation between these two coaches will determine the direction of this battle.

Turn your head and look forward again.

The Han River flows as usual silently.

But Li Shimin knew that it was just an illusion.

The river is still flowing, so no sound can be heard.

It was just suppressed by other voices.

In fact, not only the sound, but even the large space was constantly twisting and folding, affecting everyone's vision.

In the sky, a huge wolf kept roaring.

Endless murderous aura swept over like an overwhelming force, impacting the entire battlefield.

The military spirit of the Qiexue Army is undoubtedly the most feared force on the battlefield today.

In front of him, there was a huge military formation, stretching from Fancheng in the west to Xiangyang in the east, covering the entire Xiangfan area like a giant net.

At this moment, this large formation was like a shield, blocking the ferocious wolf in front.

"Is this why he is fighting here?"

Li Shimin spoke softly.

At this time, the military formation of the Sui Dynasty not only included the Sui army, but also was vaguely connected with the terrain of Xiangfan.

As the formation was in operation, it brought with it all kinds of unique auras.

It doesn't look like a temporary arrangement at all, but gives people a feeling of being a whole. Looking closely, the formation looks like it was originally carved on the land of Xiangfan.

"Xiangfan..."

Li Shimin murmured.

In his opinion, this should be the reason why Gao Changsheng chose this place as the battlefield.

The combination of terrain and military formation, or formation upon formation, really demonstrated terrifying power.

The military soul that represented the strongest power of the Qiexue Army was unable to move forward even a single step after the formation appeared.

But the expression on Li Shimin's face did not ease at all.

Move your eyes down.

Between the two cities, in front of the Han River.

A beautiful full moon has risen without me noticing.

Li Shimin had seen this scene before.

Liu Yu and Liu Ji'nu's Que Yue Formation was once again set up by Gao Changsheng.

Even though it was the second time he saw it, Li Shimin still couldn't help but admire this formation.

But besides admiration, there was more confusion and worry in Li Shimin's eyes.

The Que Yue formation, with one side standing with its back to the water, is a formation that uses defense as an offense.

Of course, the attack power of Queyue in Gao Changsheng's hand has been greatly enhanced.

Li Shimin had witnessed this with his own eyes on the Liaodong battlefield.

But the Xiangfan battlefield today is very different from the Liaodong battlefield back then.

Xiangyang and Fancheng are lined up on the left and right.

The Han River flows along Xiangyang, passing between the two cities.

Gao Changsheng’s general’s tent was set up between the two cities.

In other words, Gao Changsheng's banner is actually behind the Han River.

Only a part of the Sui army used the Queyue Formation and lined up north of the Han River.

The Han River, which originally served as a barrier, now became a barrier for the Sui army.

There is no doubt that this situation is not suitable for the Queyue Formation.

Even this kind of arrangement goes against the principles of military strategy.

Of course, Li Shimin did not question it at the first time.

After all, the war had just begun, whether it was Temujin or Gao Changsheng.

Their arrangements for normal combat have not been exposed yet.

This seemingly unreasonable arrangement may be just part of Gao Changsheng's plan.

What's more, although the Queyue Formation is now placed north of the Han River, it has not completely cut off contact with the rear.

From this point of view, Gao Changsheng did not let this unit become isolated.

In the sky, the Qiexue army spirit and the great formation were engaged in a fierce confrontation.

And on the ground, the Yuan army cavalry had already run into the Queyue formation.

The full moon flickers and the blood color rises.

The two armies engaged in a full-scale confrontation.

Judging from the situation at that time alone, the Sui Dynasty was not at a disadvantage. On the contrary, because of the mutual connections, it still had some advantages.

But Li Shimin did not dare to be careless at all, and there was no trace of joy on his face.

The commander of the opposing army was Temujin, who had just defeated King Yang Lin.

Moreover, on the battlefield at this time.

Although they blocked the opponent's military soul, they also used Queyue to block the attack.

But they have already deployed the entire formation.

As for the Yuan army, apart from the initial attempt to change the terrain, they did not burst out with strength again after being suppressed by Gao Changsheng.

Instead, it disappeared quickly.

There is no doubt that Temujin did this on purpose.

This is obviously a move to retract the fist and wait for the right moment to explode.

This was obviously a huge threat to the Sui army.

And there is one more most important point.

The troops under Temujin's command, especially the Military Soul Troops.

The battle report clearly mentioned that Temujin controlled three military soul units.

Of course, after the battle with Xiaoguo, the three troops, especially the other two, must have suffered heavy losses.

But no matter how great the losses are, they are still the soul of the army.

Now that the Qiexue Army has appeared, where are the other two troops?

Once the two troops appear, can the current balance on the field be maintained?
Li Shimin was not sure.

At least judging from the current scene, they have already used all their strength and all the means they have.

In other words, the person in charge is Gao Changsheng, who often goes beyond everyone's expectations and is hard for anyone to figure out.

If it were anyone else, Li Shimin could even assert that they were at a disadvantage.

"Marshal, Gao Changsheng, do you really have other plans, other cards?"

A gentle whisper came out of Li Shimin's mouth.

Just when Li Shimin was worried.

North of the Han River, in the Yuan army camp, Temujin was also looking at the formation that loomed over Xiangfan.

"Interesting, interesting."

"I have seen Xiangyang's battle formation during the last attack on Xiangyang."

“I didn’t expect that that wasn’t all.”

"Xiangyang, Fancheng, the entire Xiangfan land, is actually a complete formation."

"The ancestors of the Song Dynasty were indeed amazing people."

Temujin laughed out loud.

"Is Xiangfan a large formation? Why have we never seen it in previous attacks on Song?" A cry of surprise came from behind Temujin.

The Song Dynasty was surrounded by packs of wolves, and the number of battles that Xiangfan had experienced could only be described as countless.

If there were large formations set up in both places, why had they never seen them?

"In the Song Dynasty court, in the local areas, even in Xiangyang and Fancheng, some people wanted to fight, while others wanted to make peace."

"Without a unified ideology, they can only fight on their own. It's a joke to form a battle array."

"The saying that descendants are unfilial couldn't be more appropriate."

"The last time Guo Jing triggered the Xiangyang formation, it was already an unexpected event for the Song Dynasty."

"Of course, what is even more surprising is that many years later, the person who sat in Xiangfan and activated the great formation was not a person from the Song Dynasty, but a person from another country."

"This is really a joke."

Temujin shook his head. Of course everyone knew who he was talking about as a joke.

"I didn't expect Gao Changsheng to have such means. No wonder he wanted to set up the battlefield here."

"Great Khan, what should we do? We might as well send out the Meng'an Mouke and Shatuo cavalry."

"Gao Changsheng has already used all his strength to stop the Qiexue army."

"As long as we send out these two forces, it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for them."

Several generals behind him bowed at the same time.

They couldn't understand Gao Changsheng's formation, but they could see one thing.

The situation now is evenly matched.

But as long as Meng'an Mouke and Shatuo cavalry attack at the same time.

For the Sui Dynasty, this would be a disastrous outcome.

If Gao Changsheng ignores it, the two military soul units can attack at will and tear open Xiangfan's defenses.

If Gao Changsheng chooses to use the power of the great formation to block, then facing three military souls at the same time, the great formation will be in danger of collapse.

Coupled with Temujin's large formation, they saw no possibility of losing.

"Meng'an Mouke."

Temujin shook his head and chuckled.

"There are no more Meng'an Mouke in this world."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone behind him was shocked at the same time.

One of them even had his pupils shrink sharply.

It was not someone else, but Sihanfei who had been following Temujin.

In the previous battle at Yumen Pass, they faced Yang Lin and Xiao Guo’s desperate counterattack.

Their army suffered heavy casualties.

Even though all the Thirteen Wings appeared on the battlefield at this time, most of these troops were transferred from the country and were the reserve forces retained by the Thirteen Wing tribes.

Others may not know.

Several commanders of the thirteen wings under Temujin were also killed.

Among the four mastiffs, Zhelemi died in battle, among the four heroes, Borhu died in battle, and Borshu had his arm broken.

Among the four, Subuchi was also killed by Yang Lin with a stick.

It can be said that after Yumen Pass, Temujin's army also lost nearly half.

Of course, for this army, as long as Temujin is still there, they can recover quickly.

Among them, the three military soul units undoubtedly suffered the greatest losses. After all, they were the main force that resisted Yang Lin.

Among them, the most casualties were those of Meng'an and Mouke.

Because this unit rushed to the front and fought the hardest.

But after the battle, Si Hanfei saw with his own eyes that Meng'an Mouke was not completely destroyed, and some of it remained.

So Temujin's words obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

But Si Hanfei did not ask, but just lowered his head silently.

And Temujin's voice continued.

"The Western Turks have always wanted to recall the Shatuo Cavalry, but of course they were temporarily detained by the Khan."

"However, it is not appropriate for the Shatuo Cavalry to appear at this time."

"why?"

The people behind him spoke instinctively.

"That's the Western Turkic army. After all, they are not my Khan's direct line, and they are not compatible with my Thirteenth Wing. I am holding the army just to be on the safe side."

Temujin said this casually without explaining in detail.

Then he silently raised his head and looked forward, with a gleam in his eyes.

"This is an active invitation to fight."

"I thought Gao Changsheng must be holding some military spirit in his hands."

"Or the remaining Xiaoguo, or that..."

"But up to now, I haven't felt any breath of military spirit."

Temujin hummed softly.

"Is it intentionally hidden? The other side must have known about the Khan's troops. Everyone in the world knows how powerful the Military Soul troops are."

"Especially Gao Changsheng. It's impossible for him to invite our army to a battle without any preparation."

"The Khan must be on guard."

Perhaps when he first debuted, some people looked down on Gao Changsheng.

But looking around the world today, no one dares to have such an idea.

Even if it was Temujin who was defeated bravely and shocked the world.

"Of course Ben Khan understands."

Temujin waved his hand casually.

"But you can't guess it standing here."

"Gao Changsheng has always done things that ordinary people don't do, and he can do things that ordinary people can't do."

"Whether it was Goguryeo or the Battle of Baichuan afterwards."

"Even if you read the battle report, you can't guess this person's plan until the last moment."

Temujin frowned and shook his head.

But the emotion was fleeting.

After just a moment, he looked up again.

"But I don't have to guess."

"We'll know what he's hiding once we beat him out."

"And Ben Khan's arrangements are complete."

"Nowadays, I don't have to worry about hiding anything."

The cold words fell.

But the generals following him all looked puzzled.

Temujin had no explanation.

Instead, he waved his right hand coldly.

"Pass on the Khan's order to attack."

"Woo~~"

Long whistles rose into the sky.

On the west side of Fancheng, the Yuan army, whose whereabouts were unknown, suddenly accelerated, burst out with fierce murderous intent, and rushed towards Fancheng.

To the east of Xiangyang, a similar force also erupted.

"Awoo~" A powerful and vast wolf howl came out inexplicably.

And this voice sounded like the command of the Wolf King.

Between heaven and earth, in all directions.

The sounds of wolf howls rang out one after another.

"Ouch~"

"Ouch~"

The Qiexue army spirit that was originally hovering in the air was inexplicably shaken, and a bloody aura surged up.

The huge military formation covering Xiangfan suddenly shook violently.

But in the next second, the Military Soul Canglang did not attack again, but took a big step back.

And a figure suddenly appeared on the huge wolf head.

The moment the figure stepped onto the wolf's head, a large banner rose into the air behind him.

The giant wolf military soul, the golden wolf banner, and the wolf with a human body standing on the huge wolf head, Temujin.

This scene instantly occupied everyone's attention.

“Thirteen Wings, how is this possible? These are Thirteen Wings! Temujin, he, he, he…”

In Xiangyang City, Guo Jing, with an exhausted look on his face, raised his head in horror.

And his exclamation was like turning on a switch.

Endless blood rose from all directions, completely enveloping the entire Xiangfan land.
