Chapter 59: Against the Heavenly Gang and the Earth
The three Mai Ke brothers walked forward, and Qin Qi and the others followed closely with the wooden cage, quickly crossing the last street before the east gate of the county, preparing to rush out. At this moment, Mai Ke and the others suddenly heard a shouting order in a low voice: "Release!"
Then a rain of black arrows shot down from both sides of the street! I heard a piercing whistling, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred sharp arrows arrived in front of me.
In the face of a sudden attack, several people could only rely on their usual habits to respond quickly. There is little room for thought, and it is impossible to pick a good one of the several ways to deal with it.
Mai Ke reacted the fastest. The two nine-section whips that were already in his hand unfolded at the same time. The left hand whip a "invincible nine styles" fifth move on the top of the head, colorful fantasy fairies scatter blessings, the sky is falling, sweeping away all the arrows flying to the top of the head;
Mai Ke's right-hand whip method not only protected Lao Feng in the wooden cage, but even the four people who carried the wooden cage also protected it. With the other two brothers, he didn't have to worry.
Wei Changlu was originally able to deal with such a bow and arrow shooting, but unfortunately his weapon was too handy. The two sledgehammers in his hand smashed people, and the enemy's weapons were handy, and they were clumsy to block arrows. He had no choice but to raise it, wait for the arrow to come closer, and then meet it, and fly with a sledgehammer.
Feng Yunshan is a different story. He played the black and red water and fire stick in his hand like a judge's pen, and he also jumped to the bottom, pointing at the middle of the flying arrows without a trace, all the arrows in front of him were hit, and all the arrows that were hit were broken into two sections and scattered in all directions.
From the time the arrows were shot to the time they were shot down, there was only two breaths apart, and all the arrows were shot to the ground, except for the two that missed the net. Listening to the sound of "aggressive" twice, the two fish that slipped through the net were nailed to the wooden frame of the wooden cage. Without this layer of protection, Lao Feng in the wooden cage would at least be seriously injured.
Before these people who blocked the arrows could take a breath, more than a hundred people in black jumped out of their invisibility. These people are agile, fast-moving, and orderly in their movements.
The strange thing is that they did not take advantage of the fire to rob, and rushed up when Mai Ke and the others were caught off guard and their foothold was undecided, so as to make a quick decision, but in front of these people, two large formations were placed on the road. These two large arrays are divided into two levels, front and back, and in terms of numbers, they are not increasing, but decreasing.
Mai Ke took a cursory glance and found that the large array in front was composed of seventy-two people, and the small formation in the back was arranged by thirty-six people.
Haha, the number of heaven and earth is secretly combined? I don't know what the mystery is. Mai Ke's heart was dark.
Although Mai Ke didn't guess the specific content, his thinking direction was right. Yes, this is a set of formations, the name is Tiangang Earth Yin and Yang Array, this is a secret formation handed down by the ancestors of the Manchu Dynasty, it is the treasure of the Manchu Dynasty, and it has never been revealed. Because since the founding of the country, they have not encountered the opportunity to use this formation.
The enemies encountered were all defeated by conventional methods. Therefore, no one has seen the true face of Lushan in this powerful formation. Dolgon has been regent for many years, and this set of formations has always been under his control.
When he sent his illegitimate son, Tohao, to run away from home, this formation and the samurai who set up the formation were also taken away. If it is said that whoever masters this formation is the orthodox heir of the Manchu Dynasty, Donghao is the real successor of the Manchu Dynasty. Now this set of formations has logically been passed from Dongfang Xiao to Dongfang Baiday.
Today, Dongfang Day, the sect leader and leader of the team, who is also the successor, did not intend to use this kind of formation at the beginning, and he thought that these one hundred and eight beggars could deal with any situation with their own force alone.
However, when he watched the fight of the three brothers Mai Ke from here, he no longer felt that using the formation was a knife to kill chickens. Worries instead ran in the other direction. This set of formations is said to be powerful, and we have also gathered 100,000 of the strongest masters to form a formation, but since no one has ever seen its effectiveness, how do you know that its effectiveness is really as it is said?
Dongfang Bai felt that he had no bottom in his heart, and Mai Ke here was also a little worried. It turned out that he had studied all the known formations before crossing over, but he had never seen this. It is estimated that the reason for this should be that this formation has never seen the light of day in real history.
Since I am not familiar with it, I can only see the moves.
From the strength of the bow and arrow just now, Mai Ke also knew that these people all had good skills, if they had a set of secrets to combine the strength of everyone and could concentrate their strength, they would really be fierce opponents.
Mai Ke and the others were still in place, and the opponent's large array had already been launched, and they began to attack Mai Ke's side. I saw that these people kept changing positions as they advanced, but they all remained in their own formation.
Wei Changlu was more anxious, and rushed forward with a horse dance hammer. Although the black cone horse had been fighting for an hour, he became more and more courageous, and when he saw that the new master had an order, he hissed, rushed to the opponent's ground formation, and crashed headlong into it from the front, and was about to break through the formation.
At this time, a strange thing happened! The forward horse crashed into the human wall of the Earth Shatter Formation, but instead of breaking the formation, the tall horse body was pushed back, as if it had hit an object with rebounding force.
The black cone horse was furious, Wei Changlu was furious, the men and horses took a few steps back, jumped up again, and flew in the air to step on the enemy formation, the whole man and horse, with a large hammer, the total weight could reach a thousand catties, and he condescendingly smashed down to the enemy formation.
But there was no confusion in this formation, and when Pegasus was approaching, his four hands were raised suddenly, and he grasped the horse's hooves with great accuracy, and one with one hand, and then he was raised upward, and the men and horses flew back faster than they had come.
The strong and brave blackcone horse, after two setbacks, could not help but be afraid, and tried to stand firm where it had been thrown back, but did not go back in as angry as it had done the second time. When Wei Changlu saw this result, he couldn't help but be shocked, these people's strength was too great, right? Could it be that the ancients were born with divine power, and I just hadn't seen it before?
Only Mai Ke saw some clues. The power of this Earth Demon Array lies in its ability to gather. On the surface, the men were arranged in eight rows of nine men each, walking disconnected from each other, but in reality they were all connected by their arms when dealing with the two strikes and trampling of the Econone Horse.
As long as it is connected to the body of their companions, they can concentrate a person's power through the connecting channel, concentrate it on the place where they exert their strength, and burst out with several times or even dozens of times their strength to repel the enemy.
Knowing the secret of the opponent's formation, although in time, he can come up with a way to break the formation, but at the moment, there is no emergency way to immediately break the formation. When Mai Ke was using his brains at high speed to find a solution, Feng Yunshan had already rushed up.
He was also surprised to see Wei Changlu's failure to charge into battle. In terms of strength, in addition to the original coach Zhang Yuan in the Brotherhood League, this Wei Di is counted. Since he did nothing in front of this big array, it is estimated that he could not be won by brute force. On the one hand, he was angry and wanted to seek justice for Wei Di, and on the other hand, he wanted to probe the details of the formation again and provide Mai Ke with some useful information. He didn't think that Mai Ke didn't do anything there, he was just watching the excitement. This kind of technical work of breaking the formation is the best at this little brother.
Feng Yunshan is also good at using tricks and likes to destroy the enemy with skill. I saw him carrying two water and fire sticks in his hand, rushing towards the enemy line like a galloping horse. When those people saw that they had beaten away a man on horseback and another on foot, they could not help but show contempt and contempt.
Even Dongfang Day, who was in the middle of the formation, didn't pay attention to it. Since he inherited the secret of the formation, he naturally knew the breaking of this formation. That is, it is necessary to concentrate more than ten times the elite heavy armored cavalry, crush them by group charge, and use the tactics of crowds to surround and bind these people, and only at the cost of casualties can this formation be broken and broken.
The striker of the Earth Shattering Formation was about to repeat his old trick, grabbing the incoming enemy and throwing it away, but in the blink of an eye, there was no one in front of him! It turned out that when Feng Yunshan rushed up, he played like a windmill with a water and fire stick in one hand, dazzling the people who were watching, and hurriedly contracted his mind to prepare for the enemy's move.
However, Feng Yunshan rushed quickly, and at the moment of receiving the enemy, he turned to the right and floated to the back of the Earth Evil Array from the right. While these people were still looking around, he suddenly burst out from behind the formation, and two water and fire sticks were launched at the same time, like a violent storm, towards the sleeping hole on the backs of the last row of beggars.
There was a gap between the Earth Demon Array and the Tiangang Array, and between the lightning and thunder, Feng Yunshan passed through this gap, from the right side of the array to the left side of the array.
That's the only chance he gets. The Tiangang Array's reaction was very fast, and as soon as his figure passed, they had already sealed this gap.
Feng Yunshan secretly called luck, but fortunately he had a change of opportunity, seized this opportunity, and finally opened a gap in this strange formation. He is very confident in his point kung fu, he has never missed, this time he also specially increased his strength, although the middle one will not die, the possibility of serious injury is very large. He has done this kind of process, which can definitely provide a very valuable reference for Mai Ke.
When he looked back, he couldn't help but be stunned. The people who were pointed out by him were still standing in the formation unscathed, what should they do. What's going on?
What he didn't know was that it wasn't that his acupoint skills were not good, or that these people's acupuncture points were abnormal, but that there were two reasons why he fell short.
One is that these beggars all have super-first-class martial arts, and any part of their body has a higher protection ability than ordinary people. Another reason, and the fundamental reason, is that they all wear protective armor. This was the time when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was at its strongest, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had exhausted its financial resources to build the dry cities of these countries.
As a result, Feng Yunshan's powerful sinking water and fire sticks only made them feel a pain in their backs, and their upper bodies shook twice, but they did not achieve the expected effect. The formation is still solid as a rock.
However, what happened here was very valuable in Mai Ke's eyes. He knew the strength of Feng Yunshan's acupoints, and he also knew what the effect would be under normal circumstances. He also observed that all the people who were hit by the acupuncture points shook twice, and the pain on their faces, although slight, was still revealed, all of which provided parameters for Mai Ke's formation breaking plan.
His brain was racing at high speed, and he quickly made a decision that in order to achieve the effect in normal conditions, he would have to use twice the amount of force normally used to succeed.
After Mai Ke came to this conclusion, he didn't have time to explain to the two brothers, but just explained that they were guarding the side of the wooden cage and leaving the matter of breaking the formation to him.
At this time, the Tiangang Evil Formation was getting closer and closer, and soon Mai Ke and a few others were about to fall into the formation. Time is not waiting, Mai Ke let out a clear roar, and rose into the air, to single-handedly challenge this mysterious ancient formation!
