Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 526 Gao Yanshou's Struggle
Gao Yanshou felt the changes behind him almost immediately.

He really didn't expect that, in his opinion, Yunqi would only be born when the number of people reached a certain level, but the Great Tang general seemed to be a basic ability that a general would know.

Even if you don't have this ability, at least you have the ability to fight against it for a short time!
Especially now that Tang Jun was attacking from three sides, this made Gao Yanshou feel even more uncomfortable.

So Gao Yanshou resolutely gave up his original idea of ​​wanting to fight Li Shimin, and decisively decided to defend first.

Gao Yanshou commanded Yang Wan to lead the central army to defend according to the terrain, and he even began to command the army to start walking towards the flanks and against the mountains.

Then Gao Yanshou resolutely gave up the rear army, you can kill if you want, anyway, I don't choose to save.

But if you want to roll back the rear army, don't even think about attacking the central army, just block the headquarters led by Yang Wan.

As for the support of Gao Hui, it is natural to respond, but at least not now. Gao Huizhen can only rely on his own bodyguards to persist in the chaos for a while.

Whether he can take it back depends on Gao Huizhen's own spirit, but what Gao Yanshou needs to do most now is to keep the Chinese army alive, rather than messing with the defeated rear army.

It has to be said that Gao Yanshou's strong man broke his wrist, which did ensure that the main body of Goguryeo soldiers was not seriously affected.

And because of his simple and capable command, he didn't even leave any loopholes for Li Shiji.

Li Shiji was a little surprised by the decisiveness of the commander of Goguryeo. His plan to rebel against the Central Army had just begun, but was ended by the other party.

Because the opponent directly cut off the connection between the central army and the rear army, the entire central army was on standby, and even some rear troops wanted to charge the central army, but were directly beheaded by the opponent's central army soldiers.

Under this bloody military order, the soldiers who rushed over from the rear army either regained some composure, or fled from the flank of the central army.

It can be said that Gao Hui prevented the situation from deteriorating by relying on his accurate control of the Goguryeo army.

Li Shiji did not continue to force his troops to charge, but decisively directed the advancing troops to turn around, planning to join Li Daozong first.

After all, his own war department directly attacked, and the actual impact was not strong enough, but with Li Daozong's war department as the front, and his own war department to cover up and kill, it is not impossible to break away from the Chinese army!
It has to be said that Li Daozong's decision was somewhat of a breather for the rear army, which had almost completely collapsed.

Of course, they didn't know whether the others had caught their breath. The only thing that was certain was that Gao Huizhen was supported by his own guards and finally returned to the Chinese army, and even returned to Gao Yanshou's side.

Gao Yanshou didn't have time to teach Gao Huizhen a lesson, so he said decisively, "Go and pray to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi!"

Gao Huizhen nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and immediately went to pray to the three-legged Golden Crow, the symbol of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, without any hesitation.

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi was originally the main god of the Chu Kingdom's pantheon. Later, with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, a group of Chu people killed the Qin Dynasty. After the Qin Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi became the recognized belief of the Han people.

"Historical Records of Fengchan Book" Taiyi is the noble god of heaven, and Taiyi assists the five emperors.In ancient times, the emperor used spring and autumn to offer sacrifices to the eastern suburbs of Taiyi. It can be said that there are sacrifices every year.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, after the unification, there were sacrifices to Donghuang Taiyi.

At most, with the introduction of Buddhism, the worship of local gods and Buddhas is not as devout as it was in the Han Dynasty.

After all, even the imperial court still has an attitude of believing that they don’t need money anyway. After all, you can’t expect Han people to purely believe in one god forever!
As for why the Eastern Emperor Taiyi disappeared later, it is necessary to mention the big counsel.

In order to cover up the shame of the Song Dynasty of the Chanyuan Alliance, Song Zhenzong lied that the Jade Emperor had entered his dream and flattered the Jade Emperor decisively.

As a result, Taoism has gradually emerged the classics and legends with the Jade Emperor as the emperor of heaven.

After the Song Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties also highly praised the Jade Emperor in order to promote the imperial rule as the destiny. The political power and theocracy were combined with each other, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was no longer popular.

So, why does the image of the Jade Emperor seem to be very soft, and even his name is Zhang Bairen, a name that makes people want to slap him when they see it.

The big reason is that if you think about Song Zhenzong, you can probably match up with the last seven or eight.

But before the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as the Jade Emperor, but in terms of pure belief in Donghuang Taiyi, maybe the Tang Dynasty is really not as good as Goguryeo.

Because although the Goguryeo regime is now feudalized, it has not completely broken away from the remnants of the tribal system.

Under such circumstances, they are at least much purer than the Han people about things like religion!
And Gao Yanshou watched Gao Huizhen begin to worship the statue of the three-legged Golden Crow, and soon the Golden Crow began to glow slightly.

At this time, Gao Yanshou did not hesitate at all, and immediately put his hand on the Golden Crow statue, and passed on his legion talent to the entire legion through the Golden Crow belief.

In an instant, an empty three-legged golden crow flew out of the statue, flew into the clouds above his head and spread its wings.

The golden light shrouded the entire army, and a round of golden sun seemed to rise in the hearts of all Goguryeo soldiers.

Originally attacked by the Tang army on three sides, the haze of being blown up by the rear army was dispelled. At this time, they firmly believed that they would win!
This is the high morale of Gao Yanshou's army talent. This talent means that as long as Gao Yanshou is still using the army talent, the morale of the soldiers under his command will never be shaken in any way, and will even remain at a high level.

But if this skill wants to be blessed to the whole army, Gao Yanshou's command ability cannot be blessed, so it is necessary to use Donghuang Taiyi, the common belief of the Goguryeo people as an introduction, to bless this effect to the whole army, even including being attacked by Li Jing. To the chaotic rear army officers and soldiers.

They also gradually recovered from the chaotic state of swarming bees. Even the soldiers began to instinctively look for the nearest organization, and began to return to rationality from chaos.

It can be said that Gao Yanshou has to say that he became the commander of Goguryeo only because of his ability to bring the army back to calm from chaos, which makes sense.

"The commander of morale?" Li Shiji looked at the scene in front of him, especially the rear that had been disturbed by him seemed to return to order a little bit, but he didn't feel any panic. On the contrary, he showed a slightly meaningful look at this time.

"Master Ying, is there any solution?" Li Daozong asked decisively after meeting Li Shiji.

"Let you integrate into my system first, with the blessing of my gossip formation, your combat power can be further liberated!" Li Shiji said calmly, "Then, you are the pioneer, I will cover you until Just join the army!"

"That's all right?!" Li Daozong heard Li Shiji's words, but he couldn't believe it. Is it really that simple! ?
"It's a pity that Du Xiang's Xuanxiang army formation is a death formation. In order to maintain the Xuanxiang army formation, I'm afraid you won't be able to exert your full strength!"

Li Shiji took a look at Li Daozong's army formation. To him who mastered the gossip army formation, this kind of army formation that looked like Du Ruhui's unique skill could be understood at a glance.

"Yes, yes! In order to maintain the military formation, I must leave at least two layers of troops to maintain the basic structure of the military formation!"

Li Daozong heard Li Shiji's words, but he also vomited bitterly,

"There's nothing wrong with it. The military formation is too difficult to learn. How do you want me to command, and I will cooperate with you?!"

"No need, just merge with my army, but my cloud is not a normal cloud, it is the resentment and blood of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty as the core.

This will make your soldiers have the urge to kill the Goguryeo soldiers and the Goguryeo people.

But for a general like you who leads his own troops, strictly speaking, the impact is not too big! " Li Shiji said.

"You can also gather this kind of thing?!" Li Daozong couldn't help feeling incredible when he heard Li Shiji's words.

"It's very simple. If you go to the frontier to garrison for a few years, you can sort out the guarding will of the northern border, and you can basically feel the remnants of the military spirit!" Li Shiji took it for granted, "If you are interested, you can give it a try!"

"No!" Hearing Li Shiji's words, Li Daozong resolutely gave up.

Even Li Shiji would need several years to get something out, but if you put it on yourself, you can really do it.

Li Daozong expressed his doubts, especially when he thought about this thing, it was not an easy task, which gave him the illusion of having a long brain.

In fact, do you need to grow your brain?Stand firmly with Li Shimin politically, and listen to Li Shimin's command firmly in the military. For other things, it is almost enough to rely on your own intuition, and you really don't care about your brain.

Seeing that Li Daozong was not interested in this, Li Shiji didn't say anything more.

After all, it is really unbelievable for Li Daozong, Li Shimin's confidant clan generals, to be stationed in the frontier. Relatively speaking, it is better to use it conveniently.

In fact, when Li Shiji joined Li Daozong, Li Shiji immediately directed Li Daozong to change his formation.

Generally speaking, changing formations on the battlefield is definitely not something that ordinary people can play for themselves. Often, during the process of changing formations on the battlefield, it is easy for people to seize the opportunity and kill them.

Of course, if you really meet a master who can change his formation on the battlefield, it is generally better not to fight against this kind of pervert.

But for Li Shiji, changing formations is a trivial matter, after all, this kind of thing can be done with hands!
What really worries Li Shiji is whether the headquarters under Li Daozong will be eroded by blood and resentment.

After all, regardless of his Bingzhou cavalry, changing his will is as simple as changing his clothes.

He has changed the will of northern Xinjiang successively, and now the military spirit is remnant. Even if it is possible, Li Shiji feels that if he puts the will of the country into it, then his Bingzhou cavalry might directly get the third talent, or even be stronger.

But in fact, these constantly changing wills are the whetstones of his army. Li Shiji hopes to use different wills as the whetstones to let his Bingzhou cavalry sharpen their own fighting will.

But Li Daozong's Longxi cavalry didn't know if they could bear this obviously negative blessing.

"I feel so good!" After Li Daozong accepted the bloody cloud, he didn't know why his tone of voice became crazy and domineering,
"However, let's spread blood to Goguryeo together, I can't wait!"

"Just be happy!" Li Shiji looked at Li Daozong a little more wildly, but he could only complain silently in his heart.

When the order was actually given, Li Shiji still let Li Daozong choose to charge, and he only needed Li Daozong to charge!

"Kill!" Li Daozong had never felt so refreshed, especially when he killed a Goguryeo man, the feeling of refreshment was even stronger.

And as he led the pro-army to the front, the entire Longxi cavalry was a little more unscrupulous than when they first rushed into the Goguryeo army.
What's more important is that under Li Shiji's command, the entire army directly inserted into the rear army like a broken bamboo.

Because the morale was high and stabilized, the rear army collapsed again, and the organization that had been glued together just now fell apart!

This is a matter of course. For an organization that has collapsed, it is possible to stabilize them if you want a high morale, but if you want to reorganize into a military immediately, how high is the military command ability.

If Gao Yanshou is the kind, while facing Li Shimin's advance every step of the way, the top military god who can continue to gather the defeated soldiers behind him is no good.

He was able to use his talent to keep the rear army from being defeated, which is quite good.

But such a barely organized army was full of flaws for Li Shiji.

There is no need for too much interference from myself at all, just let Li Daozong hit it hard like a sledgehammer, then the rear army will inevitably collapse.

The real trouble is the Chinese army. Although Hou Jun collapsed, if he can't reverse the Chinese army, then he still has to continue to gnaw on this hard bone.

Even if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fought bravely, where is the number of Goguryeo soldiers?

As long as Goguryeo's army commanders don't panic, command them calmly, and rely on their superiority in numbers, even Li Shiji can't take him down for a while!

What I have to mention is that Gao Yanshou has already commanded the army to retreat while fighting, and multiple war departments are constantly blocking the enemy alternately, but they not only hold the front line steadily, but the army is unexpectedly calm at this time.

In other words, it is precisely because of his talent as a warrior that he can maintain the morale of the army and have the ability to resist while fighting and retreating.

Like the famous general in ancient times, although the army suffered heavy losses, it did not completely lose control after all.

Even at this moment, Gao Yanshou was still relying on the mountains and rivers to vaguely defend against the flanking attack of Li Shimin and Li Shiji.

Gao Huizhen looked at the sweat on Gao Yanshou's forehead, it was obvious that Gao Yanshou was struggling to hold on.

This time, the general's talent has benefited almost 15 soldiers. Gao Yanshou did not expect that he would have such a hard time when the number of people reached such a level, but Gao Yanshou understood that he had to persevere.

And as the battle situation fell into a stalemate, Li Shimin also felt that he almost wanted to end this war.

But at this moment, the scout came over and reported that there was a large army coming with billowing clouds behind him.

Because of the cover of the clouds, the flags of the army could not be seen clearly, which made Li Shimin afraid to act rashly.

Although theoretically speaking, it was Li Tai who came here, but a group of corvees under Li Tai can still defend the city. What's the point of them coming out for field battles?

Therefore, Li Shimin didn't plan to explode, but planned to wait patiently. After all, there was someone behind him suddenly, so who doesn't panic!
