Chapter 196: The Turtle and the Snake Lock the Yangtze River, and the Gray Wolf Enters Xiangfan on the Sea

No one can describe the scene before their eyes in words.

Mountains, rivers, sky, earth.

All the scenes that originally existed on the land of Xiangfan disappeared.

What I saw was completely red.

That is blood.

Endless blood.

A river of blood? A sea of ​​blood?
No one knows, and no one can tell the difference.

West of Fancheng, east of Xiangyang, and north of Han River.

At the same time, a huge blood curtain rose up.

It was like a huge blood cocoon, wrapping everything in sight.

Extreme bloodiness, extreme killing.

It seemed like the end was coming.

An indescribable fear surged into everyone's heart.

Among them, one person's emotions were undoubtedly more complicated.

Guo Jing.

Today, Xiangfan is completely controlled by Gao Changsheng.

He was originally the defender of Xiangyang, but now he has been taken prisoner.

Of course, everything in Xiangfan has been controlled by Gao Changsheng.

But Guo Jing was not mistreated.

He even accompanied Gao Changsheng's army on a trip westward.

However, after returning to Xiangyang, Guo Jing was still confined in the mansion as before.

As the war broke out, Guo Jing had been paying close attention to the changes on the battlefield.

After all, this battle not only involved the rise and fall of the two great powers of Sui and Yuan, but also the survival and future of Xiangfan.

The moment the strange phenomenon broke out between heaven and earth, Guo Jing recognized it.

When he was following Temujin, he witnessed with his own eyes the scene of the Thirteen Wings fully erupting.

Thirteen wings, really thirteen wings.

Guo Jing's pupils contracted violently.

I couldn't even believe my eyes.

The Keshig Army was Temujin's strongest individual force.

But Guo Jing knew better than anyone that the opponent's most relied upon and biggest trump card had always been the Thirteen Wings.

Although the Qiexue Army is powerful, each country also has powerful military soul forces.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to train the Qiexue Army. Once they are damaged in battle, it is difficult to recover quickly in a short period of time.

But the Thirteen Wings are different.

They are an army, but also thirteen huge tribes.

It was the ancestral tribe that existed before the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty.

In terms of combat power, any one of the Thirteen Wings, even two or three, may not be able to match the Thirteen Wings.

But the terrifying thing about the Thirteen Wings is its complete system.

Just like the previous Battle of Xiangyang, and the subsequent Battle of Yumen Pass.

All Thirteen Wings suffered heavy losses.

But in such a short period of time, Temujin replenished his troops.

It's because of this system.

Under Temujin's arrangement, the current thirteen golden tribes are no longer pure tribes.

Instead, it transformed into a huge arsenal. All the men and population in the tribe served as reserve forces for the Thirteen Wings.

You are in me and I am in you, like a terrible war machine.

In fact, the biggest reason why Guo Jing was able to defect successfully and even lead out a wing of troops was that Temujin had not yet completed the reform of the Thirteen Wings.

If it were now, let alone those few people at the beginning, even if all the commanders of the thirteen wings turned against him and helped Guo Jing, he might not be able to break out of the Mongols.

Even if they managed to break out, it would be impossible to cause the kind of losses that happened back then.

Of course, if this is the case, the Thirteen Wings would at most be just a dozen elite troops with terrible manpower resources.

The reason why they are so scary and so feared.

The most important thing is the power generated by the thirteen wings combining into one.

Military spirit.

When the thirteen wings are fully united, their own military soul will be born.

A terrifying number of military soul troops.

Moreover, this kind of military spirit is different from that of the Qiexue Army.

The military soul of the Qiexue Army belongs to the transformation of the army, and the military soul also belongs to the army itself.
As for the Thirteen Wings, their military spirit is the result of the unification of the Thirteen-sided formation.

It is the perfect fusion of formation and soldiers.

It is difficult to imagine how terrifying this army is just through words without seeing it with your own eyes.

Guo Jing only saw it once when he followed Temujin.

But that one time, left an indelible shadow in his mind.

"How is it possible? How is it possible?"

Guo Jing was still mumbling to himself.

He had seen Thirteen Wings and understood Thirteen Wings.

It was precisely because he knew how terrifying they were that when he learned that Temujin was determined to attack the Song Dynasty, he rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty and returned to the Song Dynasty, and chose to attack the Thirteen Wings.

And this was what he found most unbelievable.

At the beginning, he took out all the seeds of that wing and even took away the military heritage of that tribe.

This is also the reason why Temujin has been thinking about Xiangyang for so many years.

If one of the Thirteen Winged Sky is missing, it is impossible to form a complete formation, and it is impossible to summon the military soul.

But the scene before his eyes was one that he would never forget.

It is clearly a scene where the thirteen wings are united as one and the military spirit is about to emerge.

"Temujin..."

Guo Jing muttered to himself tremblingly.

He didn't know how the Mongols did it.

But it must be Temujin, and it can only be Temujin.

Only he can do this.

"Even if I cut off one wing, it still won't stop you?"

Guo Jing's lips trembled, and a hint of fear unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

Besides fear, there is more sorrow.

To Xiangyang and Fancheng.

Gao Changsheng and the Sui army were also outsiders.

But if you have to choose one of the two to support.

Guo Jing would definitely support Gao Changsheng, even if the other party personally ordered the massacre of the soldiers he brought from the Mongols.

Because he understood the Mongols and Genghis Khan.

He knew very well what would happen to this land once Gao Changsheng was defeated and the Mongols took control of Xiangfan.

Thousands of miles of bare ground, not even a blade of grass can grow.

Perhaps because of various reasons, Temujin would not kill him.

But those people living on the land of Xiangfan will not have any chance of survival.

"Xiangyang, Song Dynasty..."

Guo Jing muttered to himself.

The corners of my eyes were unconsciously soaked with tears.

Gao Changsheng's combination of Xiangyang's terrain and military formation is truly shocking.

Even Guo Jing couldn't believe that he, an outsider, could achieve this in such a short time.

But no matter how amazing Gao Changsheng is, he cannot make up for his biggest disadvantage.

That is, within the Sui army, there was no military soul unit under his command.

The army, the formation, the terrain, and Gao Changsheng's command.

Only then did the Yuan army with the Qiexue achieve a balance of power.

At this time, Temujin revealed his trump card.

The combination of the thirteen wings not only creates a huge military soul force.

Under the great formation, the entire Yuan army was also transformed.

It can be said that the Yuan army at this time was the most terrifying Yuan army, and Temujin at this time was also the strongest Temujin.

Such a situation.

Guo Jing really couldn't see any advantages for the Sui army.

There was no sign that Gao Changsheng had any chance of blocking the opponent.

And with Gao Changsheng's defeat, Xiangfan will inevitably face a terrible nightmare.

"I, what should we do?"

Guo Jing spoke tremblingly.

At the same time, he turned his head to look to the other side, and his determined eyes revealed a deep helplessness.

"Alas... Such a battlefield, such a large formation, is definitely not something that human power can intervene in. Xiangyang, Xiangyang..."

An inexplicable sigh sounded from not far away.

Guo Jing was shocked, worried, and frightened.

But such a shocking vision and such a terrifying scene could not have been discovered by Guo Jing alone.

West of Fancheng.

The cavalry, who were originally galloping out to intercept the Yuan army, suddenly found that the Yuan army rushing towards them had disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there was an overwhelming blood-red tide.

It covers the sky and the sun, endless.

And it's not just the front, there's also the sky above and the ground beneath your feet.

At the same time, blood began to gush out.

In just a moment, the murderous iron hoof that was enough to flatten everything seemed to have turned into a leaf drifting on the sea.

A strong smell of blood rushed towards my mouth and nose.

On the other side, to the east of Xiangyang City.

There was also a bloody wave rushing towards the top of the city.

Li Shimin, who was stationed in Fancheng, and Yang Xuangan, who was stationed in Xiangyang, turned their heads almost at the same time.

A solemn and dignified look visibly appeared on his face.

In such a horrific scene, even a fool could tell that something was wrong, not to mention that Li and Yang were not ordinary characters.

Of course, the first ones to react must be the two people under the big banner with the character "Gao" in the central army tent.

The scene near the two cities of Xiangfan was certainly horrific.

But compared with what is right in front of us, it is nothing.

To the northwest of the Han River, everything irrelevant has disappeared.

In the sky.

It is a huge wolf that has occupied the entire sky.

Standing on the wolf's head is Temujin, who is extremely arrogant and seems to be in control of everything.

The golden wolf banner fluttering behind him did not look like a flag at all, but rather like a cloak wrapped around Temujin, a dragon robe tailor-made for him.

And below the giant wolf, there was a tide of blood that shook the earth.

There was not a single soldier in sight.

But everyone knew that it was a gathering of soldiers.

"Thirteen Wings! Didn't you say..."

Li Jing exclaimed immediately. Temujin's thirteen wings are no longer a secret.

What's more, they had met Guo Jing in Xiangyang.

Naturally, he knew the inside story of the Yuan army.

But what is presented before our eyes is clearly the real and complete Thirteen Wings.

"Withdraw Queyue and order the front line to retreat to the south of the Han River."

Gao Changsheng spoke calmly.

"Also, tell Li Shimin to withdraw the troops that left the city to intercept. Since the Yuan army is attacking on all fronts, there is no need to intercept them separately."

Li Jing nodded quickly and didn't ask any more questions.

It is of course puzzling that Temujin, who was missing one wing, could set up a complete formation.

But no matter what means Temujin used, now was not the time to ask or think.

Temujin has already used his trump card and is attacking with all his might.

How to deal with this gray wolf is the top priority.

He did not question Gao Changsheng's order.

The Thirteen Wing Army Souls had just appeared, and the Yuan army was at its peak of momentum.

It would be the worst possible approach to confront the Yuan army head-on at this time.

The best strategy is to withdraw the front troops and defend with all your strength. This will not only consume the enemy's morale, but also allow you to slowly look for opportunities.

However, facing such a terrifying Yuan army, can they really hold out?
Even Li Jing couldn't help but have a question mark in his mind.

But he didn't say anything. After all, no matter from which perspective, Gao Changsheng's order at this time was the best way.

"Om~"

The military order came down.

The situation on the field changed instantly. The Sui army, which had originally advanced to the Han River, quickly crossed the Han River and retreated to the south.

Like a punch that was quickly retracted.

The large formation shrouding the sky also changed abruptly, falling like a giant net and covering the two cities of Xiangfan.

Under the gaze of everyone, the two cities began to shake violently at the same time.

From afar, the cities standing on both sides of the Han River seemed as if they had suddenly come together.

The entire land of Xiangfan is undergoing changes.

Xiangyang, Fancheng, Han River, and the surrounding mountains.

At first glance, it still looks the same.

But looking again, it seems completely different.

What appears before our eyes is no longer a city and a river, but a complete whole.

"Retreat?"

Of course, such a change could not be hidden from Temujin.

In his eyes, Gao Changsheng's military formation had completed its transformation in an instant.

He put away all his attacking power and focused entirely on defense.

The terrain of Xiangfan is suitable for defense.

With the addition of Gao Changsheng's formation, its defensive power is naturally further enhanced.

Looking around, the land of Xiangfan at this time seemed to have turned into a huge fortress.

Flawless and without a single flaw.

Especially Temujin, as a first-class commander of the time, who was in charge of the thirteen-wing formation for an all-out attack, he undoubtedly saw more than anyone else.

In his eyes, as Gao Changsheng's formation fell.

The two cities of Xiangfan seemed to have become living things.

Fancheng on the left looks like a giant crawling turtle.

The Xiangyang on the right is a giant python curled up into a ball.

The surging Han River is like a huge chain, encircling the turtle and snake and also spanning the earth.

All of these combined into one form a huge black tortoise that is as still as a mountain, looking up at the blue wolf in the sky.

"The turtle and snake lock the river, and the formation turns into a black tortoise."

Temujin spoke coldly, but there seemed to be a hint of regret and a hint of contempt in his voice.

"It's a good formation."

"It's just that I thought you, Gao Changsheng, would have some tricks that would attract this Khan's attention, but I didn't expect you to be prepared to defend with all your strength."

Temujin shook his head and sighed.

Then the voice suddenly changed.

"But there has never been any unbreakable formation in the world."

"Whether it's a turtle or a snake, or a black tortoise."

"The moment you gave up your edge and set up this formation, you've already lost."

"It's not even as much fun as Yang Lin brought to Ben Khan."

The cold voice rolled down.

The next moment, the giant wolf raised its head and let out a howl that pierced the sky.

"Ouch~~"

The sound waves penetrated the void and fell into the boundless earth.

And as the sound of wolf howling fell.

Two wolf howls were heard simultaneously on the east and west sides.

It was as if responding to the Wolf King's command.

West of Fancheng and east of Xiangyang.

The surging tide of blood changed at the same time.

Two smaller blood wolves appeared out of nowhere.

Behind the blood wolf, in the boundless sea of ​​blood, dense wolf shadows kept emerging.

The howling of wolves, one after another, instantly resounded throughout the land of Xiangfan.

"This is……"

The moment the two blood wolves appeared, several voices of surprise and doubt were heard simultaneously in the Sui army and in Xiangyang city.

As mentioned before, the ones who appeared to the west of Fancheng were the Four Heroes of the Mongols, and the ones who appeared in Xiangyang were the Four Mastiffs.

These were all famous generals who had followed Temujin and each of them was capable of standing on his own.

Of course, among the four heroes, Borhu died in battle at Yumen Pass, Borshu had his arm broken, and among the four mastiffs, Zhebie committed suicide because of Guo Jing's affairs, and Zhelemi also died in battle at Yumen Pass.

But among the Four Heroes there are also Mu Huali and Chi Lao Wen, and among the Four Mastiffs there are also Subutai and Kublai.

It would not be strange for any two of the four to serve as commanders of the east and west routes.

But at this time, the two leading blood wolves on both sides were two young faces.

"Wang Baobao, Batu."

Almost everyone who recognized the two faces showed a look of confusion.

These two were just rising stars of the Yuan Dynasty. Being assigned to the Thirteen Wings by Temujin was already considered an exceptional promotion.

No matter how you calculate it, he is not qualified enough to surpass the Four Heroes and Four Mastiffs to become the commander of a large army.

The blood wolf howled.

On the east and west sides, the figures of Wang Baobao and Batu were looming.

From a distance, the two men were covered in blood, as if they were soaked in a sea of ​​blood.

Those scarlet eyes were completely devoid of any emotion, and anyone who saw them would involuntarily feel a tingling sensation on their scalp.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

However, Temujin still had the East and the West, and he obviously would not give them time to be shocked.

Accompanied by the howling of wolves.

Endless wolf shadows pounced on him like lightning at the first moment.

From a distance, Fancheng turned into a giant turtle, so handsome and shocking that it attracted people's attention.

But in just a moment, dense wolf shadows crawled onto the huge turtle shell and huge limbs.

The first blood wolf landed directly on the head, and with a bloody smell rising into the sky, it bit towards the neck.

The same scene was happening in Xiangyang on the other side.

And at the front, the already huge gray wolf under Temujin's feet grew again.

He stepped down straight down like the sky and stomped heavily on the formation.

As the wolf fell, the already raging sea of ​​blood seemed to be stimulated and roared violently.

The originally flawless and impenetrable defensive formation suddenly began to shake violently.

"Boom, boom, boom."

In the Xiangfan area, all the people looked up in horror.

Everywhere, in the sky and on the ground, there was blood.

The surging tide of blood was blocked by an invisible shield.

But the violently shaking light curtain stimulated their hearts with every beat.

three directions.

Li Shimin, Yang Xuangan and Li Jing all changed color almost at the same time.

The attacking side and the defending side.

There is no doubt that the defending side is naturally at a disadvantage. It is not certain that they will lose, but relying on defense means giving up certain options.

Of course, they were not questioning Gao Changsheng's orders.

But no matter what, they did not expect that Temujin's attack would be so fierce and so terrifying.

They all saw Gao Changsheng's formation with their own eyes.

It can be said that it was a nearly perfect defensive formation.

But even such a large formation was already in turmoil in a matter of moments.

It looked like it could collapse at any moment.

One in the east and one in the west, and there is Li Jing standing next to Gao Changsheng.

Almost at the same time, they looked in the direction of the big banner and at Gao Changsheng.

At this point, even a fool could see that they were in an absolute disadvantage.

If Gao Changsheng really had any backup plan, he would have to use it now, regardless of whether the time was right or not.

"Commander!"

Li Jing, who had always been calm, couldn't help but speak quickly.

But just as he opened his mouth to say this, a loud voice made him and almost everyone in Xiangfan change their expressions.

"Click, click..."

Looking up, I saw that cracks had appeared in the defensive formation that originally covered the sky and protected Xiangfan.

The sound exploded, before they could exclaim or even react.

The formation covering the sky exploded.

On the east and west sides, two bloody wolves, accompanied by a rolling tide of blood, rushed in madly in an instant.

"It's over!"

I don’t know how many people were wailing in their hearts.

And at the top, Temujin also fell down stepping on the gray wolf.

As the giant wolf fell, Temujin's laughter swept across the entire earth.

But at the moment when the huge wolf landed on the ground.

The laughter that rose to the sky disappeared in an instant.

The originally smug expression was immediately put away.

"No, this is..."

"Quick, pass on this Khan's order..."

Temujin raised his head suddenly and shouted like a wolf howling at the moon.

Because he spoke so quickly and loudly, his whole face took on a ferocious look.
