Chapter 25: Ten Peerless Geniuses

The reason why Zhang Fan seems more confident is because after the first- and second-rank masters of the inner gate of the Four-Nation Alliance Army were completely beaten and lost their combat effectiveness, and the nine-rank masters of the outer gate also lost their determination to fight, the enemy master legion dominated by the seventh-rank masters of the outer gate seemed to have strong combat strength and was like a super Arhat formation composed of hundreds of people, but to a large extent lost the ability to keep up with themselves in terms of movement speed, and the initiative in the battle was largely in their own hands.

Therefore, Zhang Fan did not hesitate to use the thirteen hooks, ropes, steel whips, and even the kung fu under his feet to climb over the relatively tall city wall of Shanyang City at the fastest speed, and even flashed into a castle at the speed of a cheetah, and began to attack with the help of the towers, fortresses and fortifications on the city wall, and even at least five or six shooting ports facing the enemy.

With a significant improvement in mental power and even internal force manipulation ability and even cultivation, the needle-shaped hidden weapon with a fixed purpose attached to the silk rope was finally able to launch the fastest attack with its own fingers without the help of a syringe. Compared with ordinary sewing needles, the weight and bottom design of the regular formation concealed weapons that are at least several times heavier are very conducive to throwing, often in the blink of an eye, Zhang Fan can use the four fingers of both hands to hit eight flying needles, and with the help of the internal qi going out at the speed of his fingers, let these needle-shaped hidden weapons exert at least half the speed of sound. Almost in the blink of an eye, there were eight masters of the outer gate who were about seven or eight grades who were penetrated by flying needles with a certain amount of poison.

If it is a master of the first or second grade of the inner door, he may not be severely injured because of a flying needle that has no upper-level toxicity, but it is completely different from the master of the outer gate who is about seven or eight grades with Zhang Fan's superficial cultivation. In the distance of about 100 meters, he can't dodge a distance of two thirds of a second, and the opponent who is obviously pre-moved is obviously larger, often Zhang Fan's fingers tremble slightly, and the cotton thread connected to the flying needle is slightly adjusted, and there is a probability of hitting the opponent with a probability of eight or ninety. And because the energy consumption was not as large as firing the syringe at the same time, Xiao Xuan's attack speed was often much faster, and he could attack at least eight opponents with eight cotton thread flying needles other than the thumb between his fingers almost in a second.

Moreover, one of the effects of the obvious difference in actual strength is that because the opponent's attack from about 70 steps away always has a flight time, which is enough for Zhang Fan to launch at least one round-trip attack with a connected flying needle hidden weapon, so although the power brought by a salvo of a hidden weapon in a large array of hundreds of people is almost like the effect of a battalion of bolt-action riflemen firing a salvo, it can make the entire city wall hit potholes and fly sideways at any time, and make the wall behind the near firing port full of military darts, iron arrows, The bullet-like window made by the hidden weapon couldn't help Zhang Fan under a few rounds of competition.

The large array composed of hundreds of seven- and eight-rank masters of the outer gate also had to violently impact regardless of the losses, but Zhang Fan flew out at a faster speed through the doorway under the castle and walked in the direction of another castle. Although he encountered some sporadic stationed soldiers, in the case of Zhang Fan's cultivation to reach the level of the seventh rank of the outer gate, he was able to make these opponents whose cultivation was four or five grades lower than his own lose their combat effectiveness.

Of course, the military formations in two directions outside the city wall also fired arrows as dense as flying locusts, but at a distance of a hundred paces, they could not keep up with Zhang Fan's posture and rhythm.

In this way, under the confrontation and competition of several minutes in succession, the approaching master army suffered more casualties and losses of more than 130 people, with a total loss of nearly 200 people, and the overall strength began to be significantly reduced. Because it is obvious: in the previous attack, most of the targets targeted by Zhang Fan were also the stronger masters of the outer gate eight or so, although the number of people was reduced by only a quarter, but the threat of combat power was reduced by about half.

In this way, when Zhang Fan flew out of the castle again, he flew into the city wall and had already taken the opportunity to approach three or four outside the city wall.

The following nonsense, complete this chapter and replace the following before one o'clock in the morning...

Li Chengliang (1526~1615), a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, was a native of Tielingwei (now Tieling, Liaoning). His great-great-grandfather Li Ying "awarded the World Tielingwei Command Servant with Military Merit", and his great-grandfather Li Wenbin, grandfather Li Chunmei, and father Li Jing all hereditarily commanded the Servant. Li Chengliang, who grew up in such a family of military generals, studied and practiced martial arts since he was a child, and was admitted to Xiucai. In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, Li Chengliang attacked Tielingwei to command the affairs. Due to his meritorious service in the battle, he was soon promoted to general of Liaodong Dangerous Mountain. In the first year of Longqing (1567), he was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief and guarded Liaoyang. In the fourth year of Longqing (1570), Wang Zhidao, the chief military officer of Liaodong, died in battle, and Li Chengliang was promoted to the governor of Liaodong. In the second year of Wanli (1574), Li Chengliang defeated Wang Gao, the Jurchen chieftain of Jianzhou, and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Liaodong and commanded the Liaodong army. Wanli three years to add the crown prince Taibao, Wanli six years after the big break of the Mongolian Taining Wei, plus the Taibao, in December of that year because of military merits and awarded the title of "Fengtian Yiwei Xuanli Wuchen Ning Yuanbo", given a big red python robe, food Lu 1,600 stones. In the eighth year of Wanli, the Wanli Emperor issued an edict to build "Ningyuan Bo Li Chengliang Stone Fang" for him in today's Beining City, and gave the first division in Beijing. During the reign of Muzong, Li Chengliang mainly fought against the Mongol tribes in the north, and defeated the chieftain of the Han Er tribe Tuman and the chief of the Taining tribe Sujianghai several times. Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong for more than 20 years, fought in various places, defeated foreign enemies many times, made Liaodong rest in peace for many years, and consolidated the northeast frontier defense of the Ming Dynasty, so he was particularly valued by the Wanli Emperor and given all kinds of honors. Li Chengliang's illustrious envoy "the children are all in the ranks, and the servants are all honorable", Li Chengliang has nine sons or for the general or for the commander, or for the commander and the general, for a while, the power is Liaodong, and the people of the time are known as the "nine tiger generals of the Li family". Personally, he is proud, extravagant, and extravagant. Arbitrarily embezzle military salaries, salt taxes, etc. And with gold and silver, he "instilled power, accepted courtiers, Chinese and foreign dignitaries, all of them were full of their burdens, and they were swayed by it", and even the famous politician Zhang Juzheng also accepted bribes from him. Li Chengliang guarded the Jigong Stone Workshop in Liaodong, and Li Chengliang governed the army by rewarding meritorious soldiers and inspiring morale with glory and wealth. At first, the results were great, but later, the generals who enjoyed the wealth lost the enterprising spirit of their early years, and their achievements gradually declined. Incidents began to arise in which soldiers were reluctant to fight, the truth of defeat was covered up, and the situation of falsely reporting victories in order to receive rewards occurred from time to time, and there were even bad acts of killing good citizens and pretending to be the head of the enemy to invite merit. Although these were done by his subordinates, Li Chengliang, as the commander-in-chief, could not escape the blame.
