Outside Luling City is a deserted and flat land.
It's late autumn now, and everything is dry and yellow.
On the dry land, only bursts of loess remain.
"Da da da!"
The sound of footsteps and the collision and friction of armor plates could be heard on the loess.
Nearly a thousand Wei soldiers formed three square formations outside the city and rushed forward.
Flags are flying, smoke and dust are billowing.
The "county soldiers" guarding the city wall were shocked when they saw this strange army outside the city.
They became extremely panicked and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Wait a minute!" The leading guard walked up to the city wall, looked up, and found that they were also holding the flag of Wei. If you look more closely, they were also wearing military armor made by Wei.
"The armor they wear is from the warehouse. They belong to us! Maybe they are soldiers recruited by the governor and others from outside."
Other guards also gathered around and carefully identified it, and found that it was indeed the armor standard of their county soldiers.
Not one set, but thousands of sets.
If it were the enemy, they could at most steal a few or a dozen sets of camouflage. It would be impossible to be so fully armed.
One of the soldiers said: "Boss, I heard that the county guard summoned many martial arts forces today. He is going to attack King Wu and rebel!"
"Oh." The leading guard glanced at him, as if he already knew it, and did not show an excessive reaction.
"Boss, what should we do next? Are we going to rebel with the county guard?"
"What's the opposite?" The leading guard sneered and said, "I'm just a martial arts practitioner, and I'm not interested in these things. It's just a few wish stones, and you expect me to risk my life?"
"The county guard sent someone to send a message, asking us to strictly guard the city gate..."
The leading guard said: "The governor means not to let people out of the city, but he didn't say that people are not allowed to enter the city. They are all soldiers of the county guard, don't worry about so many, they are all dispersed."
The leading guard shook his body indifferently and walked down the wall.
"General Wu, there is no response to us from the city gate."
Wu Qi said without changing his expression: "Enter the city!"
Under his order, thousands of Wei soldiers merged from three formations into one.
Ma Chuanping wore heavy armor, carried a shield on his back, and carried a long sword at his waist.
When he saw the flag flags played by the flag soldiers at the front of the team, his expression became serious and said: "We are united, cheer up."
In the past few months, they had practiced the changes in the formation countless times, and they already knew it well.
He suppressed the speed of the people behind him and slowly joined the flow of soldiers in the middle.
The other soldiers also controlled their speed, either in front of him or behind him, and the formations of the team of thousands of people changed as smoothly as clouds and flowing water.
The guards on the city wall looked at the changes below the city. They were neat and tidy, and for some reason they felt a sense of pleasure.
"Old Zhang, do you feel that this army is different from what we have seen before?"
There was a guard on the city wall lying on the top of the wall, stretched his neck, swallowed and said.
"More than just different, compared with them, the soldiers we saw before can hardly be called soldiers, they are almost like bandits."
"I think so too. If they are all martial artists, there probably won't be any martial arts force in Luling that can stop them."
Da da da!
Neat footsteps passed under the city gate and entered the city.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Rushing at the front, four soldiers with high cultivation and amazing physical strength held halberds in both hands to clear the way for the soldiers behind them.
The common people on the street had never seen such a formation before, and they subconsciously retreated to both sides of the road, staring at this unique group of soldiers.
Someone on both sides of the road recognized Wu Qi: "Ah, I recognize him. Isn't that the leader of the guards beside His Highness King Wu?"
"What, you read that right?"
"I read that right. When King Wu first entered the city a few months ago, the county guard led us to personally greet him. This person was right behind King Wu, responsible for guarding him."
"In other words, this team was formed by His Highness King Wu?"
Some people can't believe it.
King Wu, who was imprisoned in King Wu's Mansion by the governor, actually recruited such a powerful army without leaving any trace.
"I secretly heard from the master that something happened on the county guard's side, and he was suddenly ready to take action. King Wu is in danger."
Wu Qi, who was walking in the team, heard the discussion between the two and glanced at them casually. The aura of power in his body actually made them shudder and they hurriedly stopped talking.
Luling City is not big. After passing through the city gate, you didn't walk too long before you saw Prince Wu's Mansion standing in the center of the city.
At this time, there were many people outside Prince Wu's Mansion.
There are warriors and there are mortals.
Wu Qi ordered: "Everyone spread out, form a five-talent formation, respond in pairs, and engage in street fighting."
He had already expected that the first battle he would fight would be in the city.
In order to deal with this situation, he came up with the formation configuration of Wucai Formation.
The so-called Five Talents Formation means two defensive warriors in the front, one martial artist who is good at movement in the middle, and two warriors who are good at attacking on both sides.
There are five people in a team, and there is a team leader.
In such a formation, the most basic combat unit is formed, which is very suitable for this kind of street fighting.
After forming the formation, he pulled many soldiers into the woods and simulated a cramped alleyway for confrontation training.
The soldiers behind him were already familiar with this situation and were not timid at all.
After receiving the order, Ma Chuanping quickly led a few people around him to break away from the team, drew out the long knife from his waist and rushed towards the people outside Prince Wu's Mansion.
While rushing forward, he also took out a copper shield to protect himself in front of him. According to his usual training appearance, he was crouching with only one pair of eyes exposed.
Next to him, another martial artist learning hard skills also followed suit.
The two attacking warriors hiding behind them drew their spears from their backs.
Among the people they dealt with this time were some low-level warriors and ordinary people who were forced to come here.
Facing their strangulating military formation, these people will be killed sooner or later.
But they were not careless and tried their best.
boom!
Ma Chuanping was born tall and powerful, and with the two months of continuous training, he became even stronger.
When he rushed forward with a man and a shield, ordinary people were knocked away, and even those martial arts practitioners were knocked to the point where they could not stand and their bodies were shaking.
The attacking warriors who were waiting on both sides seized the opportunity and shot out a spear like a dragon, ending their lives.
Shockingly efficient.
Seeing this scene, a "county soldier" nearby wanted to use his body skills to find an opportunity, but before he could move, an arrow was shot at him.
Only then did he notice that there was a crossbowman hidden among the crowd.
After harvesting the lives of the "county soldiers" in front of him, Ma Chuanping immediately changed his direction and rushed towards the other "county soldiers".
They had just finished killing people, and their morale was now high.
If he was a brave martial artist like the county governor, or an innate martial artist at the top of other martial arts forces, he would be able to make them fear him.
After all, their strength is high, and their physical skills and strength are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
However, under the innate nature, those ordinary martial artists with their strict cooperation would never have a chance.
With their military formation, it is a wheel battle, and consumption can kill them.
Not far away, there was a martial artist in the Aperture Realm who saw something was wrong and wanted to escape.
But every time he had such an idea, he would be forcefully forced back by Wei Wuzu.
Probably discovering something unusual about him, after the target "jun soldiers" were killed one by one, several groups of Wei soldiers from the surrounding area surrounded him.
This Tongqiao realm martial artist is facing increasing pressure.
He could feel that these warriors were no match for him in terms of individual strength.
However, each of them was armed to the teeth, and they also learned how to cooperate with the formations. They did not give him any chance to breathe, making him fall into constant fierce battles. Comprehensive comparison, the actual attack power of such formations was even higher than his. Be stronger.
As time passed, his physical strength gradually declined.
These people saw his state and began to consume him like a cat playing with a mouse.
After failing to charge forward one after another, he felt anxious.
But soon he no longer had to worry.
"hunting!"
Ma Chuanping shouted loudly and suddenly charged forward like a wild bull: "Brothers, for the wish stone, charge forward!"
"Roar!"
As soon as these words came out, others became jealous and started to speed up.
In the past, when various countries went to war, they sealed their swords and deployed their troops afterwards, and how much they could capture depended on luck.
But not in their Wei Wu stroke.
They Wei soldiers have an unwritten rule, that is: military merit system.
When we set out this time, we had already made it clear that one wish stone and five taels of silver would be required for the head of a person in the Aperture Realm, and ten taels of silver would be required for the head of a person in the Kaimei Realm, one wish stone and ten taels of silver.
Ordinary people have one tael of silver per head.
Having a wish stone means you can practice faster, have higher strength, kill more enemies, and get more wish stones and property.
If you don't work hard, you won't be able to keep up step by step.
They are all low-level warriors. Faced with this reward, no one will not work hard.
Besides, such opportunities don’t come every day.
The "jun soldier" in the Tongqiao realm was a little confused for a while. He only showed a slight fatigue. The failure to break through many times made these people completely excited.
It was like a group of wolves seeing a plump prey.
boom!
Several Wei warriors rushed in front of him at the same time and pushed him away.
Soon several more spears followed, and before the Tongqiao realm "jun soldiers" could react, they were pierced by three Wei soldiers with spears.
"ah!"
The three of them shouted and pushed him up together, flipping him into the military formation.
With a bang, it fell heavily to the ground.
Other Wei soldiers who had been waiting for him immediately swarmed forward and chopped off his head, and even his body was chopped into several pieces.
This martial artist in the Aperture Realm suddenly couldn't die any more.
"Disperse!"
Ma Chuanping shouted, and they quickly formed a five-talent formation and rushed towards the other "county soldiers".
Outside Prince Wu's Mansion, scenes like this were constantly happening.
Since ancient times, the military has been a professional killing machine.
Those martial arts forces may be unique in martial arts training, and their master limit may be very high, but their killing efficiency is far inferior to the organizational efficiency of the army.
In today's world, many martial arts forces don't care much about the martial arts at the bottom.
When entering a martial arts force, unless you are extremely talented or have connections with those sect masters and upper echelons of the sect, otherwise it will be difficult to get ahead and reach the sky.
In the military system Wu Qi rebuilt, he paid great attention to the law of "heavy rewards for advancement and heavy punishment for retreat", which invisibly opened a path for these low-level warriors to rise.
Even he himself didn't know how much this had contributed to improving the strength of the army.
In Prince Wu's Mansion, Zhao Hongming, who heard the fighting outside the door, laughed and said: "It seems that General Wu has arrived. Come, cut off the heads of these people and bring them to the door to show the public."
"yes!"
"Let's go, I will also go to the door to see how General Wu's generals and Wei Wu soldiers have been training during this period." Zhao Hongming walked out towards the door of Prince Wu's Mansion with a long sword in hand.
As he left, he glanced at the pool of flesh and blood on the ground without leaving a trace, and sighed in his heart: "It's a pity, the attack was a bit harsh before, otherwise, if I had taken Chen Shenghai's head, I'm afraid the shock effect would have been better."
The guards behind him quickly cut off the heads of all the warriors in Chenjiazhuang, tied their hair into knots, and picked them up on the knife.
As a group of them approached the gate, the noisy shouts of killing became clearer and louder.
Many "county soldiers" were forced into Prince Wu's Mansion and pressed against the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion in an attempt to establish a defense.
"Everyone, hold on a little longer. The Sheriff will come to support us later."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongming said expressionlessly: "You are blocking the king's door!"
Many "county soldiers" who were holding on at the door heard the sound and looked around. Their eyes widened, and their mouths were slightly open and speechless.
They saw many guards holding heads behind them, which was frightening.
Someone stammered: "Your Highness, King Wu..."
Zhao Hongming said: "Why, you don't understand what I'm saying? Since you don't understand, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes flashed.
Eighteen arms appeared behind him, each arm opened and slapped down with a palm.
I saw green shadows flashing past, and all the "county soldiers" gathered at the door disappeared.
There were only pools of blood left, proving that there had been living people here.
Squeak!
The door to Prince Wu's Mansion opened little by little.
Wei Wuzu, who was struggling with his martial arts outside the door, was suddenly startled and stood ready.
When they saw Zhao Hongming, who was fully armored, they were all stunned.
When he saw the "Jingguan" behind him, it became even more silent.
A guard walked up to Zhao Hongming, took a deep breath and shouted: "The county guard and others have all been executed. Now King Wu has an order, and anyone who offends our palace will be killed without mercy!"
His voice carried far away.
When the "county soldiers" who were still struggling to hold on saw this scene, their faces suddenly turned pale, and the last trace of luck in their hearts was wiped out.
There are two big drums at the door of King Wu.
Zhao Hongming walked under the drum, picked up the drumstick, and started beating it.
"Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong dong, dong dong dong..."
The drum beat became more and more urgent.
Wu Qi stood up, drew his sword and said, "Kill!"
Countless Wei soldiers were infected by the sound of drums and shouted in unison: "Kill!"
Today, the soldiers of Wei Dynasty are trying their best for the first time, like a blue dragon emerging from the sky.
One thousand versus one thousand, a complete victory!
