Siege warfare has always been extremely cruel, especially when facing a city protected by a large formation.
That's right, it's a defensive formation!
As an inner disciple of Jiejiao, the first thing Wen Zhong thinks of when training soldiers is formations.
This is the most distinctive feature of Jiejiao.
Basically, any Jie Jiao disciple, regardless of their level of attainment, can basically put up one or two large formations.
As a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother, Wen Zhong naturally learned the formation of the four-elephant formation.
Although he did not refine the formation diagram, nor did he have the core treasure of the Four Elephants Tower, when he was building Linhuan Pass, he had already laid out a lot of immortal gold materials for the formation in advance, according to the orientation of the Four Elephants Formation. arrangement.
Nowadays, well-trained soldiers only need to follow the pre-arranged positions to activate this formation and play a key role in the battle to defend the city.
This was both due to Yu Yuan's reminder and his own foresight.
However, even with the protection of the simplified version of the Four Elephants Formation, this offensive and defensive battle was still extremely bloody and brutal.
In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, many soldiers were beheaded directly by sharp blades, or their bodies were penetrated. The blood dyed the ground red, flowed into the moat, and was then taken away by the river and disappeared into the Huaihe River.
"I didn't expect that this small Linhuan Pass is actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. If I give them a little more time, I'm afraid they will really become a serious problem for me, Dashang!"
Wucheng King Huang Feihu rode on the back of the five-color sacred bull and watched the situation on the battlefield from a distance.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
This Linhuan Pass was different from any city he had ever seen before. Not only did the walls be high and the city strong, but a river channel was dug outside the city and the Huai River was introduced into it to form a wide and deep moat.
Such a majestic city, coupled with the fact that the soldiers guarding the city under the command of Wen Zhong, held on to the city wall with all their strength, blocked the siege from three sides by the merchant army, preventing the merchant army from taking half a step forward.
"Commander, what should we do?"
A middle-aged general riding a red flame horse asked in a deep voice.
This man is called Zhou Ji, and he is Huang Feihu's deputy general. He has been with him for more than ten years. He has always been loyal, brave and resourceful.
However, even though he had been in battle for a long time and had rich experience in siege, he was still stumped by the tenacious defense of Linhuan Pass at this moment.
Huang Feihu glanced at Zhou Ji.
He knew this subordinate very well, so he naturally knew that he seemed to be here to inquire, but in fact he already had an idea in mind.
At that moment, he asked directly: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly!"
Zhou Ji looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he whispered: "Commander Qi, the Linhuan Pass defenders are now very high-spirited. It may be difficult for us to attack. If we continue to attack forcefully, we will suffer heavy losses." ! Why don’t we evacuate first and attack the city later?”
Retreat?
Huang Feihu frowned slightly.
He thought the other party was thinking of some plan to break the city.
However, he also knew that it was not easy to capture Linhuan Pass, especially when the opponent resisted tenaciously.
Huang Feihu fought against Xiao Zhan many times.
In his opinion, the most difficult thing was to attack the city.
In the past, when the merchants attacked some small countries, they basically adopted the method of siege but not attack, which relied on the advantage of large numbers to cut off the enemy's supplies. Even if the enemy did not surrender, it would not be able to sustain it for too long.
Or, directly use the human sea tactic to flatten the small towns.
But the Linhuan Pass they faced at this moment was an indestructible city, and its size was not much different from Chaoge City, the most majestic human race.
If it weren't for the sufficient siege equipment, absolute numerical superiority, and battle-hardened soldiers, they would have been defeated long ago.
Faced with this tenacious defense, Huang Feihu felt that he had no way of making a move.
At the same time, he also raised his evaluation of Wen Zhong a little higher in his heart.
There are not many such talents in the world, let alone big businessmen.
Even though he has the elite divisions of Dashang under him, and there are also strange people such as the brothers of the Demon Family, and the powerful Kongxuan Immortal who come to help, but for this kind of siege, these foreign immortals will not Hands on.
Killing humans will lead to karma.
And karma is no different than poison to immortals and gods.
Therefore, the more successful a person is in spiritual practice, the more he will cherish his feathers and will not easily step into the world of mortals.
It is precisely for this reason that those disciples of Chanjiao will recruit disciples one after another to walk in the mortal world on their behalf.
"Now it depends on whether the Demon brothers can do their job."
Huang Feihu said and turned to look at the sky.
I saw dark clouds gathering in the sky dozens of miles away, lightning and thunder, and many figures fighting among them could be vaguely seen.
If you look carefully, you will see that four of these figures are unusually tall, and they are clearly the four generals of the Demon Family.
The war is still going on.
While the people on the ground were fighting bloody battles, there was also a melee going on in the sky.
Those participating in this melee were the four generals of the Demon family, Liu Huan, Qu Yangxian and Princess Na Longji.
These are all serious immortals, whose magical power is far beyond what ordinary people can match. They can move mountains and seas and shake the world with just a wave of their hands.
Liu Huan's Dharma Eyes were like torches, and wherever his gaze passed, fire was splashing everywhere, and the bodies of the four generals of the Demon Family and other immortals were all ignited with blazing flames.
Those with profound virtues can still dissolve this flame, but those with shallow virtues can only howl in pain.
At the same time, Qu Yangxian was sitting cross-legged in the air, waving his hands repeatedly, and the power of chaotic wind and fire continued to burst out from the jade pipa under his hand, accurately bombarding the four generals of the Demon Family, making them miserable. .
In particular, the Demon Li Hai was so filled with grief and anger that he wished he could crush Qu Yangxian to ashes.
You know, the jade pipa was originally his spiritual treasure, but now it was used against them by Qu Yangxian, a traitor who rebelled against the enemy. In his opinion, this was simply insane!
Looking at Princess Longji again, although her moral character is a bit poor and she is weaker than many of the gods and gods present, she is a genuine princess of heaven. Her parents are innate gods, and the most important thing she lacks is the spiritual treasure.
At this moment, she sacrificed all the spiritual treasures in the air in one breath.
Such as the Mountains and Rivers Ten Thousand Miles Map, the Mist and Dew Universe Network, the Yaochi White Light Sword, etc., each one is more powerful than the other, and they are divided into categories, each with different functions.
Some specialize in attacking the soul, some mainly attack the physical body, and some can protect themselves...
Under the joint attack of Liu Huan, Qu Yangxian and Princess Long Ji, the four generals of the Mo family and others were retreating steadily, almost losing the ability to fight back.
"It's really..."
King Wu Cheng took a breath and endured it for a while before swallowing the word "trash".
He narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but turn to Kong Xuan, who was standing still not far away.
The current situation on both battlefields is not optimistic.
The battlefield below was a little better. After all, they had a huge numerical advantage. Even though Linhuan Pass's defense was unexpectedly tenacious, they still occupied the initiative on the battlefield.
Whether they continue to attack or choose to retreat from this cruel battlefield like a meat grinder in time, it is all up to them.
But the battlefield above is different.
Having lost their treasured brothers Moli Qing, Moli Hai, and Moli Hong, it is as if their bones have been ripped away. No matter whether they are offensive or defensive, they are all soft.
The balance of victory has visibly tipped towards Liu Huan, Qu Yangxian and Princess Long Ji.
Once the four generals of the Demon Family are defeated, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to their side's morale, and Liu Huan and the others will be able to free up their hands to do tasks such as assisting in defense and treating the wounded.
This move can also intuitively and effectively affect changes in the battlefield situation.
Take treating the wounded as an example.
Under the magic power of the three immortal gods, as long as they are not killed on the spot and their souls return to the underworld, they can save people. It is even a piece of cake to help these mortals regain their limbs.
These injured soldiers could immediately rejoin the battlefield after a short period of treatment, which had a huge impact on the battlefield situation.
Although doing this will inevitably lead to some karma, it is much smaller than directly killing.
Therefore, Huang Feihu didn't want them to affect the battlefield below at all, so he sent the four generals of the Demon Family to call for formation, not giving Liu Huan and others a chance to intervene.
However, after the four generals of the Demon Family lost their spiritual treasures, their strength was greatly reduced. It seemed that they could not even hold Liu Huan and the others down.
It seems that at this time, the only way to ask for help is from this immortal.
With this thought in mind, Huang Feihu showed an expectant smile on his face. He looked at Kong Xuan and saluted with clasped fists: "The four generals of the Demon Family seem to be difficult to resist. Please help me, the Immortal!"
Kong Xuan remained silent after hearing the words, as if he didn't hear them.
He was still standing there, with one hand behind his back and his eyes silently staring at Linhuan Pass in the distance.
Seeing that he ignored him, Huang Feihu felt a little embarrassed.
But he also knew Kong Xuan's temperament.
It seems that such a proud and arrogant person must only have eyes for the true master.
Asking him to deal with Liu Huan, Qu Yangxian and others was already a bit offensive, so it was normal for him to refuse.
But at this moment, Kong Xuan said calmly: "Since the prince is begging you like this, then I will reluctantly take action once."
After saying that, he lightly kicked his feet, and his figure immediately disappeared from the place.
The next second, his figure appeared in front of Liu Huan, Qu Yangxian and Princess Long Ji, and said lightly: "It's meaningless if you continue like this, why not let me give you a good time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his right hand, and a bolt of sword light flew out directly, like thunder, slashing down towards Liu Huan and the others like a devastating blow.
The sharp energy on the sword light was so dazzling that it instantly cut through the void, split the heaven and earth, and struck Liu Huan's body hard.
"ah--"
Liu Huan looked up to the sky and roared angrily, and the majestic immortal power exploded from his body, blasting a mountain peak under his feet into pieces.
Fortunately, Liu Huan used the Hunyuanbao Umbrella in time and absorbed part of the divine power with this umbrella, so he survived.
Seeing that he failed to kill Liu Huan with one move, Kong Xuan couldn't help but frown.
The next moment, a brilliant five-color divine light rose into the sky and went straight towards Liu Huan!
"Well done!"
Liu Huan shouted, holding the Hunyuanbao Umbrella in his hand, all acquired treasures would be restrained by him, and he might be able to restrain the opponent's five-color divine light.
However, what he didn't know was that Kong Xuan's five-color divine light was not a treasure, but a unique magical power refined by absorbing the innate energy of the five elements.
This five-color divine light absorbs everything and brushes away everything.
As long as you are in the Five Elements, you cannot escape the five-color divine light.
At this moment, the five-color divine light flickered in the air. Liu Huan felt numb all over his body, and the Hunyuanbao umbrella he just took out in his hand immediately flew away.
At the same time, Kong Xuan turned his eyes to Qu Yangxian and Princess Long Ji, and immediately two bright sword lights shot out from his eyes and shot toward the two of them.
"not good!"
The expressions of Naqu Yangxian and Princess Long Ji suddenly changed, as if facing a formidable enemy, they sacrificed their magic weapons to protect themselves with all their strength.
However, what was waiting for them was a brilliant five-color divine light that instantly swept across the sky and wiped out all their spiritual treasures.
Liu Huan, Qu Yangxian and Princess Long Ji were immediately dumbfounded.
Kong Xuan's power was beyond their imagination.
And the action is very organized.
First, the sword light forced them to sacrifice their spiritual treasures to resist or defend, and then followed by a five-color divine light that wiped away their spiritual treasures.
In the blink of an eye, all their spiritual treasures were swiped away by Kong Xuan.
It can only be said that it must not be the first time that Kong Xuan has done such a thing.
So skillful!
Seeing that Liu Huan and Qu Yangxian were without the support of Lingbao, the four generals of the Mo family who had been bullied just now suddenly found an opportunity to take revenge, and swarmed towards the two of them.
The situation of Longji is also not optimistic.
Although she had many spiritual treasures on her body, Kong Xuan seemed to be targeting her and was not ruthless. He kept using the sword light to force her to sacrifice the spiritual treasures to protect herself.
It's just that the five-color divine light is extremely fast. Whenever she takes out a new spiritual treasure, it will be brushed away by Kong Xuan.
The scene looked quite funny, as if she were a child delivering treasures.
She kept taking out new spiritual treasures, while Kong Xuan kept "swiping, swiping, swiping," and took away more than ten spiritual treasures in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Princess Longji was also very panicked.
If this continues, no matter how many spirit treasures she has, they will all be used up sooner or later. But if she doesn't use the spirit treasures to resist, then how can she resist the threat posed by Kong Xuan?
The five-color divine light circulates endlessly.
Princess Long Ji gradually began to be overwhelmed. After more than ten spiritual treasures were taken away one after another, she was at the end of her strength and could no longer resist.
But just when she thought she was going to die, she suddenly heard a deafening thunder.
"Bullying a girl is nothing, I'm here to play with you!"
