No one could understand Li Chang'an's Haotian Mirror.
But I also found it incredibly amazing.
It's amazing that you can see all over the world.
Isn't this the legendary all-seeing eye?
They couldn't understand the route map marked on the GPS, so they had to take out maps from the military to compare with it.
"This is Fallen Phoenix Slope, hiss~"
Upon comparison, Cheng Hu couldn't help but gasp, and the surrounding generals also looked astonished.
"What the heck?"
Meng Xingyun was completely bewildered, feeling dizzy and disoriented the whole way.
He always thought that leading troops into battle was very simple: just lead your men and charge in.
It wasn't until the army actually set off that I understood all the intricacies involved.
He was completely baffled by that map alone.
No one paid him any attention; with the big battle imminent, no one had time to explain to him.
Li Chang'an used GPS to compare his location and found out where he was on the map.
"We are here now, and if nothing unexpected happens, we will pass by Luofengpo this evening."
Meng Xian pointed to the location on the map and said, "Now we know that the enemy is Tuolei and the Black Wolf Iron Cavalry, lying in ambush at Luofeng Slope. What should we do now?"
The generals looked at each other and began to discuss amongst themselves.
Some people wanted to take a detour, but Cheng Hu rejected this plan.
"We must pass through Luofengpo on our way to Jiayang Pass. If we go around it, we'll have to go all the way to the north of the mountains. The round trip will take at least two months."
"What can we accomplish in such a long time? Besides, we don't have enough supplies."
Some suggested using auxiliary soldiers as bait to lure the enemy out, and then the rest of the troops would rush over quickly.
"no."
Meng Xian shook her head: "Leaving aside the Black Wolf Iron Cavalry's combat strength, their numbers seem to outnumber ours. How many auxiliary soldiers can we send to lure them here?"
Sending 10,000 over there, I'm afraid they wouldn't even need to mobilize half their forces to wipe out those 10,000 auxiliary troops.
When the generals heard that this wouldn't work and that wouldn't work, they all looked troubled.
"No?" Li Chang'an tapped the table and said slowly to them, "We already know about their ambush, so why can't we attack?"
Everyone looked at the immortal's disciple and couldn't help but shake their heads: "Immortal, we can't win. Even if we knew in advance that they had an ambush, we still couldn't win."
Cheng Hu explained, "We say we have 15,000 men, but the Black Wolf Iron Cavalry on the other side, if fully equipped, has at least 20,000 cavalry, not to mention the auxiliary troops, which number at least 30,000."
"We only have five thousand Xuanwu Iron Cavalry here who are capable of fighting. Going up there would be suicide."
The generals of the Ming Dynasty liked to exaggerate their strength and report it excessively; they would claim to have 100,000 troops when they only had 10,000 men.
With the addition of auxiliary soldiers, miscellaneous servants, and laborers, they could claim to have an army of 500,000.
The Liao people, however, did not have this idea; they would simply say tens of thousands and then say tens of thousands.
Back when the late emperor was still alive, a certain general claimed he would lead an army of 500,000 to recover lost territory.
As a result, once they crossed the border, they were defeated by 20,000 light cavalry and captured alive.
When the Liao generals were counting the prisoners, they discovered a discrepancy: out of an army of 500,000, only 20,000 prisoners remained.
It was later learned that he only had 5,000 cavalry, 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 20,000 laborers and servants, while claiming to have an army of 500,000.
The Liao general was so angry that he cursed loudly, saying that if he had known that the Liao army was so small, he wouldn't have had to make the trip himself.
The Liao people were terrified when they heard that 500,000 Ming troops were coming, but in the end, there were only 5,000 cavalrymen.
This incident became a joke in the Liao Kingdom, who said that the Ming generals were all braggarts and nothing more.
Li Chang'an stroked his chin, looked at the group of generals who were terrified of the enemy, and couldn't help but take a breath.
It seems we can't count on them; we'll have to rely on ourselves.
"Stop for a moment, everyone, and listen to me."
The generals stopped and looked at Li Chang'an, hoping that this immortal could perform some kind of miracle.
"You all, assemble the army and set off as planned. Then let the soldiers see how I perform."
Li Chang'an had given up on them, but he could still make use of their soldiers.
Upon hearing this, all the generals looked at Meng Xian.
"Did you all hear what the master said? Assemble the army, prepare for battle, and then proceed as planned."
Meng Xian did not hesitate. This rescue mission was entirely dependent on Li Chang'an. Otherwise, what use would these few people be but death?
Although the generals did not understand, they had no choice but to follow orders since their commander had given the order.
They could only hope that this white-robed immortal had some magical means that would allow them to slip away undetected from under the noses of the Black Wolf Riders.
As for anything else, they dared not even think about it.
After all, apart from conjuring up tens of thousands of tons of rice, Li Chang'an hasn't shown anything particularly magical these past few days.
Aside from being more aesthetically pleasing...
After they left, Meng Xian bowed to Li Chang'an and said, "Sir, the lives of 15,000 people in Lingnan City are all entrusted to you. I hope you will save Lingnan."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't have come to rescue people if I didn't have some skills."
Li Chang'an comforted him, then turned to find his young apprentice.
After a while, he finally found Su Xiao and Zhao Hu in the auxiliary troops camp.
"Ping An, come here."
"Master, where did you go?"
Upon seeing her master, Su Xiao jogged over to him.
Li Chang'an took her hand, squatted down, and gave her some instructions.
"I'll give you your gun later. Keep it safe. If any strangers approach, shoot them dead, understand?"
"Okay, I understand."
Su Xiao accepted the AK47 from Li Chang'an and nodded seriously.
Normally, this gun is not very useful. Except when he goes hunting, he gives it to Su Xiao and keeps it in his backpack the rest of the time.
Li Chang'an stood up and instructed Xiong Er, Zhao Hu, and the others: "We're about to go to war. You'll stay in the rear and protect the young lady. If anyone hurts her, you'd better slit your own throats."
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will certainly protect Lady Ping An."
Zhao Hu responded loudly, his face resolute.
Xiong Er patted his chest, indicating that he would definitely keep an eye on Ping An.
Li Chang'an then gave Su Xiao a few more instructions, turned around, mounted his horse, and arrived at a secluded forest.
He took out his belt and held up the Tai Chi Five Elements Disc.
I looked around, but there was no one there.
Only then did he feel relieved, and he shouted to the sky, "Emperor Armor, combine!"
Bang!
A beam of light descended from the sky, and the marching soldiers all looked up.
Cheng Hu was about to send someone over there to take a look when Meng Xian stopped him.
She was following behind Li Chang'an that day, so she naturally knew what was going on.
Wang Zhongxian was completely bewildered. Looking at Meng Xian's confident expression, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
It turns out that the Prince's mansion has secretly uncovered quite a few things.
This commotion must have been caused by Brother Li.
