Volume 1: Overture to the Dead Chapter 42: Confrontation between the two armies

Banners were unfurled, the camp was like a camp, and a group of ironclad warriors strutted forward, the blood-colored banner representing the Purple Lotus Sect fluttered in the wind, and the horn roared to make the earth shake with it. Far from causing any hardship to this army, the harsh environment of the desert caused a chill to blow through the armor.

Standing in front of the light curtain conjured by the spirit seal, Han Yexing, Why Bother Ling and Xun Changtian turned pale for a while. If these 20,000 soldiers and horses are placed in Xunyang City, they are not a fraction of the side, and if they are against the main force of the Xunzi Battalion in the northern Xinjiang, they will only be crushed. But before this spirit array oasis, just looking at this formation was like Mount Tai pressing the top.

I am afraid that the other party will organize the formation and break through the barrier of this spirit array, and the hundreds of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people in this oasis will be crushed into powder by this powerful army in a moment.

This gap in strength cannot be reversed by any mechanism or trick.

After repeated wars, the strong people in this oasis have already been caught, and those who died in battle have not many people left, and this spiritual cultivator is even more pitiful. At this time, most people had already understood their situation, and when they saw the momentum of this large army outside, once the enemy army rushed in, I was afraid that they would be so frightened that they could not even pick up their blades.

The three of them, Han Yexing, He Biling and Xun Changtian, looked at each other, and their hearts were also cold.

Xindao, I'm afraid that I will really die here this time. The situation here is different from that of the ancient castle, and I am afraid that no matter how unexpected this cold night walk is, no matter how strange the cry of the red flameless is, it will not save them.

But now there is a little benefit, the army of the Yaksha Spirit King has arrived, and they have no way out, and even if they sacrifice their small branch at this time, they will never be able to save their oasis. Everyone is looking forward to what great magic they can have to save everyone, so at this moment, they are no longer worried about this old man and the people in the village having any bad intentions towards them.

The few remaining spiritual cultivators under Old Man Zhang were busy mobilizing people everywhere to assemble an array after the Spirit Array Enchantment, preparing to have defensive troops in case the Spirit Array Barrier was broken.

But the old man saw much more clearly, and he stopped the people, sighed softly, and commanded: "Go and open all the armories, and in this oasis, every man who is weak, sick, or disabled will have a handful." Later, if the barrier is broken, if you have the strength, you can fight one by one. If you don't want to be tortured more, you can use it to commit suicide. ”

He said this plainly, and the spiritual cultivators under him were not surprised, and went their separate ways.

The sun is slowly rising, and before you know it, the sun is already rising, shining on the Rig Desert, and the temperature will quickly change and rise rapidly.

Han Yexing looked at the immovable Purple Lotus rebel and asked in a low voice, "What the hell are you doing with this Yaksha Spirit King? Why don't you attack yet!?" Although it is a good thing for them that the other party does not attack, it is really unreasonable to see that this Yaksha Spirit King has placed the army in front of the Spirit Array Enchantment, and he has clearly discovered this enchantment, but he has put on a posture of immobility.

Although no one restricted his freedom, the old man was still very consciously standing beside Han Yexing and He Biling, behind the three of them, Xun Changtian's several injured Xun Zi Zhan Yong were still holding the handle of the knife, and they could summon up spiritual power at any time to restrain this old man.

Hearing this, Old Man Zhang groaned, "Are they waiting for us to negotiate?" But as soon as his words came out, he felt that they were nonsense. At this moment, the opponent's strength has the absolute upper hand, and he has officially reached an alliance with the Yuanmo Alliance, and even his most available signboard has lost its value, so why does the other party need to negotiate with him?

This old man would not have thought of this section, but he was just concerned about it, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Alas, it would be nice if Luo'er was still here!"

Don't talk about ghosts in the middle of the night, and don't talk about people at noon. This old man only sighed occasionally, but in the light curtain of this enchantment, a familiar voice of his voice flashed away.

Old man Zhang thought that he was dazzled, and his mind was turning, but when he saw that the wind and sand suddenly flew in the army of the Yaksha Spirit King outside the array, a huge camp in the middle of the camp was scattered, and in an exclamation, a thin figure rose into the sky, and more than a dozen gold-toothed frisbees behind him responded with the sound of "buzzing" and pursued closely.

Seeing this change, Han Yexing and the others were also shocked, staring at the light curtain tightly.

The old man looked carefully at the figure that rose to the sky, and saw that the person was wearing a set of black armor that was extremely ill-fitting of the remnants of the Purple Lotus, and there was blood gushing out in several places on his body, which was quite embarrassing.

He didn't dare to turn around and touch those frisbees again, waving a log the size of a beam with both hands, and the soldiers who heard the wind were smashed into scattered ways without getting close, but he didn't pause, and rushed straight towards the Fang Ji of this spiritual array enchantment.

Fortunately, the master of the Yaksha spirit in the main camp did not want too many people to see him make a move, and the pursuing frisbees were immediately withdrawn as soon as they appeared, and this delay, the thin young man had already rushed into the group of soldiers.

This place is in the middle of the Gerry Desert, and there are no pedestrians. They had already received information from the Yuanmo Alliance, and they were not too wary of this oasis hidden in the enchantment at all, so they were not too wary of it. At this moment, being rampaged by such a sudden master, this group of elite soldiers was unable to form a position in a short period of time.

This group of meticulous people was beaten by such a thin young man and fled in all directions, and the soldiers on the periphery did not dare to release the crossbow indiscriminately because of the comrades in the inner circle, and after such a delay, the young man had already broken through most of the army formation, and in a moment he broke out of the encirclement of the Purple Lotus army.

It's just that once this person breaks through, it will be even more dangerous. Vladivostok had no scruples about his comrades, and the Purple Lotus army suddenly fired arrows in unison. The thin man threw the huge log out of his hand and resisted the rain of arrows. But in this way, the speed slowed down.

The more crisis is coming from both sides. I only heard the sound of a ghost crying demon horn, and the two teams of women with double-edged faces and blood veils had already risen and slaughtered the thin young man.

"Blood Mist Soldiers!"

Han Yexing exclaimed, he naturally knew this group of female killers who behaved ghostly, they were originally the elite under the command of the Blood Mist Spirit King Red Lian'er, but he didn't expect that after the death of the Blood Mist Spirit King, these killers were received by the Yaksha Spirit King. Looking at their bodies flying in the air, as well as the sound of the ghost crying demon horn, once the spirit falls into this quagmire, I am afraid that no matter how high the cultivation of this young man is, he will inevitably be trapped and will not escape the siege of the army.

After staring at the young man for a long time, the old man slapped his thigh, and his face showed joy: "Luo'er...... I know you didn't blame Daddy!haha...... You know that your hometown is in trouble, but you still rushed back!"

As he spoke, the old man saw He Biling with a suspicious face, and immediately said loudly: "This person's name is Zhang Luo, and he is my Zhang Lao'er......'s son!"

Why bother Ling saw that the current situation was critical, even if there was another accident, where could he go? After a moment's silence, he glanced at Han Yexing, and immediately said decisively: "Since he is a son, then the elder brother will put him in the array!"

Old man Zhang had a rare look of excitement on his face, and twisted the spirit seal in his hand. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept up in the barrier outside the array, blocking the pursuers for the man.

With a flash, he had entered the enchantment and disappeared in front of the eyes of the Purple Lotus army.

The thin young man had entered the oasis, had already taken the war horse led by the defenders in the formation, and galloped towards the Linghu town with all his might. Walking in the cold night is a tight heart, and the warning signs are great. He saw that there was a commotion in this purple lotus army, and two giant array-breaking crossbows had been pushed in the big array, aiming at the gate of the enchantment of the spirit array, and he was about to attack the formation.

But at the same time, he felt another huge fluctuation of spiritual power coming. Looking at the light curtain opened by the old man Zhang, he suddenly saw another horn sound on the left, and another group of cavalry was galloping from the east.

Han Yexing understood in his heart that the Purple Lotus army outside was not in a hurry to attack, but was actually waiting for reinforcements to arrive together. Seeing that there were no less than 5,000 war horses galloping from afar, everyone was like ashes, knowing that there was no luck now. With so many thief troops, even if they were able to contact General Xu Zhanbiao in Dingyuan City, they might not be able to stop it.

Suddenly, Han Yexing's heart moved, and he was unconsciously happy: "Xu Zi Battle Banner!? It's General Xu of Dingyuan City who has arrived !!."

This old man didn't know that there was a spiritual eye to help him in this cold night, but why bother Ling and Xun Changtian They felt overjoyed in their hearts, and they all looked towards the light curtain of this spirit array.

Everyone watched the cavalry gallop in the distance, and the Purple Lotus army here obviously didn't know why, and the formation-breaking crossbow that had been set up also stopped. The horn and trumpet rose again, and the layout of the large array was immediately adjusted, and a large area of deer antlers was moved to the east, setting up a posture to meet the battle.

In a moment, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance was endless, and the wind and sand were splashing. As far as the eye can see, it can be seen that after the thousands of cavalry galloping over, there are nearly tens of thousands of foot soldiers slowly marching, and a big Xuzi banner in the center is flying high, who is it not Xu Zhanbiao's Xuzi battalion?

The cold night walked to He Biling and said: "Master He, you see that the reinforcements have arrived, are we ......?"

Before he finished his words, he saw He Biling shake his head and interrupted him: "Don't worry, it's not too late to see the movement first!"

Although the cold night walk is extremely talented, but after all, he is still a teenager, and this time he came to this desert oasis and repeatedly followed the old man's way, and his heart has become stable. He finally knew why General Chuanshi had to let He Biling follow him all the way, and at this moment he finally knew General Chuanshi's good intentions.

He stabilized his mind, and then condensed his spiritual eyes to look, and then saw that the armies on both sides were slowly changing outside this array, and the new cavalry of the Xu Zi Battalion had already lined up to defend, but the steps were still sparsely rushing towards this side. Although the army led by the Yaksha Spirit King was in chaos for a while because of this Zhang Luo's camp, it was in strict formation, the army looked like it, and there was no scattering between the actions.

In recent years, I have seen the courage of the Xunzi battalion against the enemy, and at a glance I know that although the number of these two seems to be about the same, but when it comes to the combat power of Ji Xing, I am afraid that it is very different, and I can't help but be secretly frightened. He was ready to persuade Old Man Zhang to open the Spirit Pass, rush out, and join forces with this Xu Zi Battalion, but now it seems that it is Meng Lang again.

Naxun Changtian is also a long-time battle, a veteran of a hundred battles who rolled out of the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield. Seeing the formation of the two armies, he also shook his head: "Mr. Xiao, pay attention to the camp of the remnants of the Purple Lotus, their baggage vehicles are empty!"

When I looked at it again in the cold night, I saw that although the carts looked bulging, the wheels were floating on them when they were stuck in the desert. It seemed that I was afraid that most of it was empty, and I immediately knew in my heart that although this battle was delayed, it was inevitable. You must know that except for Dingyuan City, which is not far from here, there is no place to make up for it nearby.

The Purple Lotus army was originally a defeated general of the remnant army, this southern Xinjiang was bitterly cold, and it was difficult to supply the army with heavy baggage, if they had no food and grass now, then there was no other way to go except to break through this spiritual array enchantment and plunder the grain and grass. So even if they come with reinforcements many times, they just have to prepare for a little longer and use up more strength to attack.
