Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Liu Ji did not expect that Li You was going to dispatch that thing so soon.

He thought for a while and said, "Half an hour, give me half an hour, and I can assemble the cross."

"Although we have a hundred of them with us, there are only so many soldiers who can assemble them."

Li You nodded and said, "Ten, just ten. Remember, although we are in a hurry, we must not be sloppy. Safety comes first, you know!"

Liu Ji nodded to express his understanding, and immediately began to lead people to prepare.

Now that Li You's trump card has been prepared, all he has to do now is to lead people to persist for another half an hour.

Although half an hour seems to be very short, the current battlefield is changing rapidly, and there may be completely different changes every minute.

Especially now that Li You was facing Bianji, a man known as a demon monk, he couldn't help being extra careful.

Seeing Yixiangzong's shield wall slowly approaching, Li You decisively gave the order to light the fire.

It was already nighttime now, and the battlefield was already lit by torches from both sides, but at this moment Li You said to light the fire, in fact, it was for the archers to prepare.

Although this Tang army is basically equipped with hand crossbows, it doesn't mean they don't know how to bow and arrow.

In fact, on the contrary, the cavalry unit led by Xue Rengui not only knows how to use bows and arrows, but most of them are also good shooters.

Compared with crossbows, although bows have a slower rate of fire, they also have the incomparable advantage of crossbows, that is, many different arrows can be used.

Just like now, after Li You ordered the fire to be ignited, the archers were immediately equipped with arrows with igniters.

Unlike ordinary rockets, the arrows equipped by Li You's men can explode.

What Li You needed now was to use the impact of the explosion to crush the opposite shield wall to buy time for his secret weapon.

Following Li You's order, thousands of rockets flew towards Xiangzong's shield wall, and the sound of crackling explosions was heard continuously, and a puff of gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield.

After the gunpowder smoke passed, Yixiangzong's shield wall collapsed.

This kind of temporary shield wall is okay to block a low-power mechanism crossbow, but it seems a bit vulnerable to explosive rockets.

After three consecutive rockets, Yixiangzong's shield wall was completely collapsed, and even his offensive steps came to a halt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Jun's machine crossbow showed its power again, shooting and killing those believers who had lost the protection of the shield wall.

However, the good times didn't last long. As batches of believers fell, a new shield wall appeared in front of Tang Jun.

Although this shield wall is simpler than the previous one, its defensive power has not weakened much.

Seeing this scene, Li You also sighed deeply: "Oh, it would be great if I brought out more bursting arrows."

"Or you won't be so passive with a few cannons by your side."

However, Li You just sighed a little. This time, in order to speed up the march, he didn't bring a lot of unnecessary things. Each soldier only brought ten days' worth of dry food, so how could it be possible to carry heavy artillery.

At this moment, perhaps the only thing that made Li You feel relieved was that Yi Xiangzong's advance speed was a little slower because of the bursting arrow just now.

Moreover, the re-established shield wall still had a lot of loopholes after all, which gave the archers who picked up bows and arrows a chance to strike with precision, and the speed of the death of Yixiangzong believers accelerated again.

This scene made Bian Ji, who was supervising the formation behind, a little anxious.

"What are the people in front dawdling about!"

"Tang Jun's explosive arrows are gone, and even if there are, there are definitely not many."

"Hurry up, as long as we enter into hand-to-hand combat with them, the victory will be ours."

Under the continuous agitation of the defense, the believers stepped up again, and the same fearless expression as at the beginning appeared on the faces of those believers again.

This scene was watched by Li You with a telescope, and he yelled that he was not good. At this moment, he finally figured out the key to the matter.

If Bianji continues to encourage these believers from the rear, they will be caught in an endless people's war.

Even if they tried their best to play all their cards today and killed all the believers in front of them, it won't be long before Bianji can create another army.

There are millions of believers in the entire Yizong sect, and it is impossible to kill them all by killing alone.

At this moment, how much Li You wanted to have an AWP in his hand, so that he could destroy this demon monk with one shot.

But in the current situation, he has absolutely nothing to do.

Xue Rengui did not know when he also came to Li You's side. Following the direction Li You was observing, he also saw Bianji in the distance through the binoculars.

"My lord, let me take three thousand cavalry to kill that demon monk!"

"As long as we can get rid of this culprit, these Yizong believers will naturally have nothing to fear!"

Xue Rengui's proposal moved Li You's heart.

However, after observing the terrain carefully, Li You shook his head and said, "Don't say that Li only took three thousand cavalry, even if you take ten thousand cavalry, you may not be able to attack the place where Bianji is!"

Looking from Li You's direction, Bian Ji was on a cliff.

In other words, if you want to attack the location where the defense machine is located, you need to go around the mountain road next to it.

And the mountain road next to it is narrow, and not many people can pass through it at one time.

Don't say it's difficult for the cavalry to go up, even if they really go up, it doesn't take many people from Bianji to stop the cavalry.

It doesn't take long, as long as these cavalry slow down, they will be surrounded by many people, and what awaits them is death.

What Li You could see, Xue Rengui could naturally see too.

"My lord, let me take someone to try!"

"If we don't give it a try, I'm afraid we won't have a chance when these fanatical believers approach us!"

At this time, Xue Rengui had given up his optimism when he just started the war. The only reason why he dared to fight was that once the position could not be defended, it would be relatively easy for them to retreat with the advantage of the cavalry.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise from the direction of retreat.

Then the soldiers in charge of monitoring immediately reported the situation over there.

"My lord, it's not good. There's a landslide on the side of the road back to the beach, and we have no escape route!"

Hearing this, Li You could not help but sneer.

"You have already surrounded us, and you still have to spend your energy trying to cut off our army's retreat."

"It seems that this debate machine is determined to fight us to the death!"

"But Bianji, you've been smart all your life, and you've been confused for a while. If I really want to leave, I have many choices besides going back."

Hearing this, Xue Rengui immediately asked, "My lord, are we going to break through?"

Looking at the time, Li You shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving, just wait, I will give Bian Ji a surprise soon!"
