Chapter 269 Everyone Performs Their Duties
The so-called "demons" are simply like the fastest version of the human race.
Although it is relatively easy to die suddenly and has a short life, others practice quickly!
This is why, at the end of the Zhou Dynasty when the world was in decline, "Demons" came into being.
At the beginning, the demon clan worked so hard, using their blood and lives to create a new world, and they were respected as the "celestial clan".
But now, the demon clan has changed its taste and has become a major problem for the human race.
One hundred thousand demon troops gathered at the foot of Hengjian Pass. They had no tactics or skills and just rushed up.
At the most exaggerated moment, the corpses of the demon army were piled up almost a hundred meters high, which was as high as the Hengjianguan city wall. The demon army almost rushed up the city wall on the pile of corpses.
This kind of thing can only be done by the demon army by relying on their full blood and bravery to kill the enemy with their lives.
Obviously, in order to avenge their total annihilation, the Blood Demon Army and the Fire Demon Army did not care about consumption and death at all. They just made it clear that they would smash all obstacles.
When all the civil and military officials in the court stood silently, and Emperor Qi frowned.
Li Guanting, who disappeared after being conferred the title of Divine General, silently took a step forward.
Emperor Qi's frown jumped up: "Guanting has something to say?"
Li Guanting said: "My son is willing to lead the army to defeat the demon army."
Emperor Qi was overjoyed, but then said sadly: "Zhi Rui has already led 30,000 soldiers, I'm afraid there are not many soldiers for you."
"Ten thousand soldiers are enough."
Emperor Qi was overjoyed: "Okay, okay! I am very relieved to hear Guanting's words! God bless our Qi Dynasty for having such a talented person as Guanting!"
Li Guanting watched his father, who was always deep, repeating this, smiling without saying a word, feeling calm in his heart.
The troops were sent out that day. Emperor Qi led hundreds of officials to send him off and personally beat drums to cheer Li Guanting up. The soldiers and civilians were all shocked.
Ten thousand Tianyu troops were in full formation, shouting loudly, shaking the heaven and earth, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
The majestic army marched towards Hengjian Pass.
Looking at this scene of a loving father, a filial son, and a harmonious relationship between the monarch and his ministers, Li Guanting sighed quietly.
He hopes that these are sincere and not just another show.
If possible, from a personal perspective, it would be far better in his mind for father and son to work together to regain Daqi than to be forced to launch a coup and sit on the throne.
People's hearts are not only about utilitarianism. If he is not forced to do so, he would not want to commit the act of killing his father and killing his king.
If that day comes, he will definitely be fully prepared and will not show mercy.
But before that, he still wanted to try it.
Otherwise, he would not have deliberately stayed silent for several years, only to take action now that the country was in trouble.
What he wanted was nothing more than to prove his ability and change Emperor Qi's mind.
But if that doesn't work.
Then let him gain momentum again from now on, and finally... be unstoppable!
…
[You choose to lead the troops into battle. 】
[You lead five thousand Tiance Army and Tianyu Army to set off. 】
[On the way to Hengjiang Pass, the commander of the Tianyu Army claimed that he had heard about the extraordinary tactics of God Tiance and was willing to give it a try. 】
[You discussed military affairs with the commander of the Tianyu Army for half a day. The commander of the Tianyu Army was impressed and claimed that he could not see Mount Tai. 】
[The name of God General Tiance is well-deserved. During this trip, I should act like a general. 】
[After entering the customs, you did not act rashly, but united the enemy's and our forces. 】
[Although the demon army suffered heavy losses, reinforcements continued, and the total strength was still around 100,000. 】
[And Hengjianguan, including Tiance Army and Tianyu Army, has a total strength of about 40,000. 】
[You realize that with 40,000 elite soldiers against 100,000 demonic troops, the advantage lies with you. 】
【So, you choose...】
[A. Holding the power B. Each performing his own duties C. Defending the city will consume D. Interfering personally]
[You choose to perform your duties. 】
When Li Guanting chose to go on an expedition, Emperor Qi had already ordered that after General Tiance arrived at Hengjiang Pass, the Hengjiang Pass defenders, the fourth prince's 30,000 soldiers, and the Tianyu Army would be sent.
All military forces are at the command of the general Tiance.
Obviously, Emperor Qi was not stupid. He knew that the fourth prince of the Crown Prince faction was naturally at odds with the second prince, Tiance Shenjiang.
Hengjianguan has invested so many valuable troops to enter, but there must be no problems.
So he simply ordered Li Guanting to take charge of everything from the beginning.
Li Guanting came with an order. With the order, the fourth prince would hand over the military power to him, and then Li Guanting would be in control.
But he didn't do that.
Compared with one-man dictatorship, it is obviously more appropriate to know people and assign them well.
Both belong to the human race, and the fourth prince is not Li Guanting's enemy.
The fourth prince is no better than the seventh prince.
The seventh prince was reckless, timid, and greedy for merit. Although he had military talents, otherwise Li Yuanqing would not have sent him out in the first place.
But it was obvious that he was eager for success and could easily cause problems. In the end, this was indeed the case, and he was sent directly with the elite army.
In contrast, although the fourth prince was arrogant and overly cautious in leading troops, judging from his past behavior, his overall outlook was not weak.
In other words, he will not engage in internal strife with Li Guanting at such a critical moment. Although he is a prince, he can be trusted to a certain extent.
The most important thing is that he is really good at defending the city.
Therefore, Li Guanting decided to perform his own duties and entrust the responsibility of defending the city to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince Li Yingfa was originally very unhappy with Qi Emperor's decision, and believed that he was definitely better than Li Guanting in defending the city.
As a result, I didn't expect that Li Guanting didn't want to touch his military power at all.
Li Guanting had a good chat with him and showed him full respect and military power.
The fourth prince Li Yingfa looked complicated and nodded solemnly, saying that he would live up to his trust.
Later, he heard that the fourth prince had a conflict with the general guarding the gate, so he mediated between them.
For his sake, the two of them reluctantly agreed to work together. Although it was certainly impossible to have the same mind and heart, it was still better than the two of them not seeing each other before.
After arranging the important task of guarding the gate, it is time to go out of the city to fight.
Yes, Li Guanting did not intend to hide in Guanzhong.
Although guarding the gate occupies a geographical advantage, it is a natural advantage.
But the problem is that these demon troops are not afraid of death and have no concept of casualties. They are too ferocious.
Once they board the city and break through the barrier, the defenders will probably suffer heavy casualties and the losses will outweigh the gains.
Rather than fighting against the endless supply of demon troops for consumption, Li Guanting was more willing to focus on getting the demon army to retreat in spite of difficulties.
Arranging the new force Tianyu Army to the fourth prince, Li Guanting quietly left the seclusion with 5,000 Tiance Army.
The Fire Demon Army and the Blood Demon Army took turns attacking the city, day and night, without giving the defenders a chance to rest.
There is no fear of loss for them. Who can bear such an exchange?
Li Guanting's purpose was to harass Yanbian so that they could not attack the city at will so comfortably.
On the night he came out of seclusion, he wiped out a blood demon army of three thousand people.
The land under Hengjian Pass is not flat, but a large area of potholes.
This resulted in the demon army of 100,000 people not having many suitable places to camp.
So once the military camps are lined up, they can only be scattered.
The Blood Demon Army at the far end became Li Guanting's target.
When this blood demon army was attacked, everyone was stunned.
There are so many of us, and you also go out of the city to attack?
Aren't you afraid of my teammates?
Lengtouqing!
