Chapter 534 Li Mu's Decisiveness

Ouyang Shuo's arrival gave Gui Ping a heart boost.

Although the number of Shenwuwei he brought was less than 3,000, they were truly invincible. They have gone through countless battles, big and small, without a single defeat.

Neither the fierce Jiangdong Warriors nor the weird Chi You Blood Guards made this army fall.

Every member of Shenwuwei has been promoted to the twelfth rank of a hundred warriors, reaching the limit that a soldier can achieve. Its individual combat power is comparable to that of junior generals and even intermediate generals.

Ouyang Shuo is confident that even with only Shenwuwei, he can hold the pass for a day.

Behind the Guiping Pass, there are two Shanman independent divisions rushing for reinforcements. In addition, the Leopard Army led by Han Xin is estimated to be only two days away from Guiping Pass.

The coalition forces' attempt to capture Guiping Pass is likely to come to naught.

...

Ouyang Shuo led his troops into the customs, seeing the scene on the city wall, his eyes couldn't help twitching. I saw countless mountain barbarian warriors lying in a pool of blood, it was impossible to count them.

Countless arrows were stuck upside down on the corpse.

The four mountain barbarian independent divisions planned by Ouyang Shuo had lost one of their pillars before they got their official titles. I'm afraid that even the coalition forces would not have imagined what kind of damage their actions have caused to Shanhai City.

Obviously, the mountain barbarians have reached the most difficult moment.

Therefore, without any pleasantries, as soon as the Shenwuwei climbed onto the city wall, they immediately attacked and took their positions one by one, making up for the defensive gap left by the death of the mountain man, and fighting with the coalition forces.

Even Ouyang Shuo didn't say a word, he drew the Chixiao Sword from his waist, and stepped forward. Even though he didn't say a word, he was using the most direct actions to boost morale and inspire the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely.

"Your Majesty!"

"King!"

Accompanied by Ouyang Shuo's appearance, bursts of cheers continuously sounded from the top of the city, one after another. The soldiers shouted the name of the king and rushed forward fearlessly.

And the moment Ouyang Shuo arrived at Guiping Pass, the bloody vortex above the pass was shocked. A huge blood-colored dragon came suddenly and directly suppressed the huge vortex.

The bloody vortex stopped spinning immediately.

Immediately, an invisible wave of luck moved towards the soldiers of Shanhai City as hoods.

If one pays close attention, one will be shocked to find that at this moment, more than half of the tens of thousands of arrows fired by the coalition forces have changed their trajectories silently, causing the target to miss.

All of a sudden, the casualties of the soldiers dropped sharply.

And this is the manifestation of luck.

In the battle of Guipingguan, because of the timely appearance of Shenwuwei, the war situation took a turn for the worse. Although the coalition forces still had the upper hand, Li Mu no longer had the confidence to take Guiping Pass before noon.

Especially the casualty data of the coalition forces made Li Mu's heart tremble.

The main force attacking the pass is the 50,000 sword shield soldiers of the former army, and the 20,000 crossbowmen are just long-range assistance. As for the 10,000 cavalry troops, they are only used as reserve troops.

In yesterday's battle, more than half of the sword and shield soldiers were lost. In addition to today's battle, the number of sword and shield soldiers is less than 20,000, and it seems that they will not be able to form an overwhelming advantage over the city.

As for the Guiping Pass, besides the 2,300 guards brought by Ouyang Shuo, there were still 2,000 mountain barbarian warriors, and the total number was close to 5,000.

Li Mu really didn't have the confidence to use 20,000 swords and shields against the 5,000 ace troops attacking Shanhai City.

Not to mention that the enemy army is the trump card of the trump card, even if the defender is an ordinary elite army at this time, the offensive and defensive ratio of one to four is an extremely dangerous boundary.

Not to mention, what they attacked was a steep pass.

"I can't go on like this!"

Li Mu shook his head, his heart skipped a beat, he glanced at the knights on the left and right, and issued a bloody military order: ten thousand cavalry were required to abandon their horses and serve as infantry temporarily to join the siege sequence.

You know, these cavalry are all elite trained by Li Mu, and they are best at cavalry warfare in the wilderness. Now, they had to abandon their sharpest war horses and climb the ladder to attack the city.

When Li Mu thought about it, his heart ached.

Unfortunately, the development of the situation could no longer tolerate his kindness.

Li Mu is very clear that he must maintain a numerical advantage over the enemy in order to capture the opposing checkpoint.

Otherwise, don't mention it all.

It has to be said that Li Mu is indeed a famous general.

At critical moments, a strong man can cut his wrists and do things without sloppiness.

The cavalry unit is the personal guard brought out by Li Mu, so naturally there is not a single coward. After receiving the general's military order, without any hesitation, they dismounted one by one in unison, drew out the scimitar at their waist, and marched forward in formation.

10,000 cavalrymen, recharging their energy and recharging their energy, were suddenly thrown into the front line of the battlefield.

Shenwuwei's defensive pressure suddenly increased.

To make matters worse, the madness of the mountain barbarian has ended, and it has begun to enter a period of weakness, and its combat power has been greatly reduced. Suddenly, the entire line of defense began to crumble again.

Not to mention the Shanman, even the Shenwuwei was exhausted after a long-distance raid for a day and a half. The current battle is just overdrawing and squeezing their physical fitness in advance.

It has to be said that the battlefield is indeed changing rapidly.

Both the enemy and the enemy may turn the balance of war because of a decision at any time.

Ouyang Shuo's perception is so keen, he could not help frowning when he noticed the strange situation on the battlefield.

The decisiveness of the enemy general was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

At this time, there must be a new army to replace the mountain barbarians. Otherwise, if the berserk Shanman is allowed to hold on, it will only cause greater casualties.

Once all the Shanmans are killed, no matter how powerful the Shenwuwei is, it will be useless.

Obviously, Ouyang Shuo's previous judgment was too optimistic.

The chief general of the coalition army is really a formidable opponent.

The question is, where to go now, to find a new army?

Ouyang Shuo frowned, trying hard to search in his mind, not missing any details.

Suddenly, a troop appeared in his mind.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo was shocked and shouted loudly, "Pei Ju!"

"The old minister is here!"

Pei Ju didn't leave the city tower all this time, and rushed over immediately when he heard Junhou's call.

"Go, go and bring up the soldiers of the Taiping Army who are detained in the pass, and issue weapons to them."

When the Imperial Guard Division captured Guiping Pass, all the Taiping soldiers in the pass surrendered to Shanhai City except for those who died in battle. There were roughly 3,000 people. They were temporarily detained in the pass, waiting for the reorganization of the Military Affairs Administration.

Now, this pawn was Ouyang Shuo's only hope.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's..."

When Pei Ju heard this, he looked a little hesitant.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army were different from other soldiers. Even if they surrendered, there might still be diehard followers of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan among them.

Therefore, this group of descendants has always been an unstable factor.

It must wait until the Military Intelligence Department carefully investigates and then completely disrupts the reorganization before it can be used with confidence.

But now, it is obviously not a good time to use pawns.

If one is not good, it may have the opposite effect and lead to a greater tragedy.

Therefore, before the Junhou led his troops to come for reinforcements, even at the most desperate moment, Pei Ju never thought about using the 3,000 Taiping soldiers imprisoned in the pass to surrender.

Of course, this is also related to Pei Ju's own lack of prestige.

Of course Ouyang Shuo was aware of Pei Ju's concerns, so he waved his hands decisively, "I can't care too much now, let's deal with the current battle situation first. I'll arrange a squadron of Shenwuwei for you."

Saying that, Ouyang Shuo gave Pei Ju a deep look.

Obviously, Ouyang Shuo also had doubts about this, but he had to do it. The compromise method is to arrange a hundred Shenwuwei to monitor the soldiers of the Taiping Army and take over their command.

"clear!"

Pei Ju knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't say anything more. Junhou arranged for him to deal with the pawns, except because there is no one available at hand, I am afraid that he is also pinning his hopes on his diplomatic skills.

It is up to Pei Ju whether he can appease the Taiping Army's soldiers.

...

Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to think about it, after making arrangements, he turned around and joined the fighting queue.

This battle can be said to be the most difficult battle that Ouyang Shuo has ever experienced.

Even confronting Chi You's army did not force Ouyang Shuo to this point.

It has to be said that this move of the coalition forces is really beautiful.

Another half hour passed.

The feeling of weakness in the mountain barbarian warrior's body became stronger and stronger, and it took a little effort to even pick up a weapon. But at this time, the "reinforcement army" that Ouyang Shuo was looking forward to did not appear for a long time.

"Could it be that something happened when Pei Ju went to persuade the soldiers to surrender?"

Ouyang Shuo's heart sank, he was already prepared to fail.

At this time, it would be useless to let Shanman resist.

Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to order that all the mountain barbarians retreat.

The entire line of defense was taken over by Shenwuwei.

All of a sudden, the pressure increased.

Even Ouyang Shuo was no longer relaxed and had no time to think.

Because at every moment, several, even more than a dozen coalition soldiers rushed towards him.

The Scarlet Night Sword in Ouyang Shuo's hand glowed blood-colored.

Strictly speaking, this is also the first appearance of the Chixiao Sword, which amazed the world.

Unfortunately, no one appreciates it.

The sword technique of "Killing the Sword" was skillfully used by Ouyang Shuo.

Perhaps, at this moment, Ouyang Shuo deeply understood the essence of killing the sword.

The killing sword is also the sword of the battlefield.

Only the battlefield is its destiny.

The peerless swordsmanship submerged in history reappeared in the world, causing heinous slaughter.

Xu Shi was infected by the killing sword, Ouyang Shuo's mind was surprisingly calm at this time, without thoughts or thoughts, he no longer paid attention to the whole battle situation, and no longer wondered why Pei Ju didn't show up.

The only thing left in my heart is the sword intent to kill the sword.

Any enemy standing in front of him is under the shadow of sword intent.
