Chapter 50 - Alone in the Depths
The extremely simple conversation gave Sun Hao a great encouragement in his heart, and even the soldiers on the city tower invariably became more excited. If Sun Hao alone is not enough to completely boost morale, then the person who has single-handedly trained and trained the army and left the most impression on the soldiers is undoubtedly Feng Yuchong, who was called "Yu Chong" by Sun Hao.
At present, the main force of the Qi army remaining in Huicheng is, on the one hand, the Ming people, and on the other hand, the elite of Qi who had evacuated to Huicheng when Xuancheng was the first;
It was once selected and formed by Feng Yuchong, the Qingxuan Army.
Although the Qingxuan Army has changed since its formation, I don't know how many generals have commanded the army, including now that this Qingxuan Army has become an army directly under the two governors, Sun Hao and Luo Yinying. But in this army, Feng Yuchong still has irreplaceable prestige.
The original intention of forming the Qingxuan Army was to replenish the army in order to defend the city, but even Feng Yuchong himself did not expect that this army could play such an important role. After years of training and many battles, this army gradually grew into an important part of the Qi state, and now it has even become a mainstay.
The Qingxuan Army is currently the most powerful army in the Qi State to defend the city, and Sun Hao and Luo Yinying are also giving priority to ensuring the treatment of this army as much as possible. It was precisely because Feng Yuchong still had a non-negligible influence in the Qingxuan Army that after Sun Hao and Feng Yuchong talked to each other, a loud shout broke out in the Qingxuan Army.
Sun Hao was even more excited, he was originally unsure whether he would be able to resist the Dark Legion's large-scale attack, since Feng Yu rushed them back at such an opportune time, it was really a relief in the snow.
However, he was a little worried about Feng Yuchong's current state, after all, he was alone in the face of the attack of the dense army of the Dark Legion, although the combat effectiveness of these humanoid soldiers was not strong, but after all, it could be said that they had an absolute advantage in numbers.
For the sake of safety, Sun Hao still decided to let the crossbowmen suppress these humanoid soldiers of the Dark Legion with crossbow arrows first. After all, he and Feng Yuchong both knew very well that these humanoid soldiers were just "cannon fodder", and the spider troops behind them were the most critical.
Feng Yuchong now burned the flames, and with the help of the protective storm of the wind feather fan, the fire was ignited. And use it to block the path of the Dark Legion humanoid soldiers, mainly to limit the advance of the spider troops as much as possible.
He knew very well that the humanoid soldiers within the Dark Legion would not stop moving forward just because the flames were lit in front of them, especially in the current situation where the Bright-clothed Envoy personally dominated the situation, he naturally did not pity the lives of the humanoid soldiers. Even if he wanted to use the lives of humanoid soldiers to pave a way for the spider troops, he would not hesitate in the slightest.
"Sun Hao, don't worry about me! Don't be in a hurry to release the arrows! Keep an eye on the bat troops!" Turning around and shouting to the city tower, Feng Yuchong knew that he was not in danger at the moment, compared to the commander of the city tower, that is, Sun Hao needed to think about a lot of things at present, so Feng Yuchong let Sun Hao not need to worry about him for the time being.
On the upper floor of the city of Huicheng, thousands of Qi State crossbowmen had already raised themselves, and even pulled the bowstrings in their hands. But they all heard Feng Yuchong's fierce shout, and they all glanced at Sun Hao standing in the group of soldiers, and they were all waiting for Sun Hao to make a final decision.
Sun Hao did not answer immediately, but stood on the edge of the city wall and silently stared at the current situation facing Feng Yuchong under the city tower, and after confirming that Feng Yuchong was not in danger for the time being, Sun Hao ordered the crossbowmen to temporarily put down the arrows that had been wound, and mobilized the heavy crossbow to prepare for the troops that might appear in the sky of the Dark Legion continuously.
Although it seems that Feng Yuchong's position is a little dangerous at the moment, after all, now the humanoid soldiers of the Dark Legion have begun to cross the flames that were ignited forward by Feng Yuchong's weapon soul, and they will impact as if they were dead, and it is only a matter of time before they cross and pass through the sea of fire.
Feng Yuchong naturally knew that the flames that were triggered like this alone were not enough to completely contain the impact of the Dark Legion, and his current approach was only to limit the speed of the Spider Force's advance. The Qi army is not good at night battles, and it is really a bit of a disadvantage to engage in large-scale confrontations with the dark legions at night.
As long as time drags on, they will have time to fight until sunrise, and after sunrise their vision will naturally become wider, and the advantages that the dark legion relies on will not be so obvious, so they may be able to reverse the current crisis.
The rest of the other things, Feng Yuchong has no time to take care of now, he can only choose to believe in the current commander-in-chief on the city tower, that is, Sun Hao. All he needed to do now was to maintain the power of the wind and fire, and make the flames burn more violently, so as to stop the advance of the dark army.
"Wind Blade!" Feng Yuchong shouted, urging the internal force of the Instrument Soul to directly use his current strongest Instrument Soul Seven Forms. After passing and receiving the enhancement of the life essence power, the soul moves he used became more proficient.
After the enhancement of the life essence was completed, due to the disguised suppression of several other forces in Feng Yuchong's body, and at the same time the improvement of the internal force and spiritual power of the instrument soul, Feng Yuchong's spiritual level had entered the realm of an eighth-order instrument soul cultivator, and it was only because the internal strength of the instrument soul was still a little different that he could not comprehend and use the eight forms of the instrument soul.
Of course, according to the level of the Instrument Soul cultivator, the Eight Styles of the Instrument Soul is not a very powerful offensive move, but more of a supporting role in stabilizing the internal force of the Instrument Soul. Therefore, as long as the Eight Instrument Soul Styles can be used proficiently, it is not impossible to advance the Nine Instrument Soul Forms.
The spiritual power has entered the realm of the Eight Instrument Soul Forms, which naturally has a very significant help for Feng Yuchong, although he cannot use the Eight Instrument Soul Forms, but it is enough to broaden his own spiritual sea and accommodate more sufficient internal power of the Instrument Soul.
To put it simply, the spiritual power corresponding to the Seven Forms of the Instrument Soul can only support the use of the Seven Forms of the Instrument Soul twice, and once the third spiritual power is used again, it will not be able to support continued use, which will lead to the situation that the internal power of the Instrument Soul cannot be completed, and the consequences are very serious.
However, once the spiritual power has reached the realm of the Eight Forms of the Instrument Soul, the internal power of the Instrument Soul contained will become more extensive, and the cultivation of the internal force of the Instrument Soul will be able to go further. At present, Feng Yuchong can easily use the Seven Forms of Instrument Soul more than three times, and there will be no problems with his spiritual power.
It was precisely because of the support of spiritual power that Feng Yuchong had already directly used the Seven Soul Styles when he first urged the flame arrows that fell to the ground to burn, and if it had been changed before, Feng Yuchong would not have dared to use such a move at all. Before the true strength of the enemy is revealed, it is not wise to use the Seven Forms of the Instrument Soul, which consumes extremely spiritual power and the internal strength of the Instrument Soul.
Now Feng Yuchong dares to do this, the most important thing is that the enhancement of the life essence has made his spiritual sea more stable, and the Ice and Fire Witch Clan's secret art has also temporarily entered a dormant state due to the influence of the life essence, during this time, the Ice and Fire Witch Clan's secret art will not have any other impact on Feng Yuchong's spiritual sea. The same is true of other powers, the power that is already sleeping itself is affected by the life essence, and it has become more and more silent, and Feng Yuchong himself can hardly feel their existence.
With the guarantee of spiritual power, Feng Yuchong dared to directly use the Seven Forms of Instrument Soul, that is, the four talisman storms directly released wind blades with strong penetrating power, and while these wind blades came into contact with the flames that were sporadically ignited on the ground, they also hit the humanoid soldiers who rushed to the forefront of the dark army in disguise.
The strength of the spiritual power, as well as the abundant use of the internal power of the Instrument Soul, made Feng Yuchong not only use the Seven Forms of the Soul many times, but also add more powerful spiritual power as an auxiliary to it, so that not only could he use the Seven Forms of the Soul many times, but also improve his original power in it, so that the attack power of the Seven Forms of the Soul could be improved to a higher level.
Because of the help of the life essence, Feng Yuchong was not worried that the attack of the main force of the Dark Legion would cause him trouble, just the humanoid soldiers were not enough to pose a threat, and the purpose of his current appearance was not to defeat the Dark Legion, but to find a way to block the attack of the spider army.
Concentrating, his eyes turned to a position he didn't know how far away, Feng Yuchong wanted to know what adjustments and countermeasures he made when the attack of the humanoid soldiers was hindered and it was difficult to make achievements for a while.
If the expectation is good, it is very likely that when the Ming Yi envoy sees that the attack on the northern city wall is not going well, he may temporarily give up attacking the northern city wall and instead target the east and west walls where the Qi army is weakly garrisoned. The reason why Huicheng was not held for the first time was because the Qi army was really unable to dispatch in the end, and was directly attacked into the city by the dark army from the east and west, which eventually led to its loss.
After all, today was only the first large-scale attack by the Dark Legion, and although the Bright Cloth Envoy accepted the order of the Dark Evil God, he also knew very well that in the current situation, it was impossible for the Dark Legion to directly take this city with just one day of siege. If you blindly attack, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and in the end, you may not be able to directly occupy the city, which will be more than worth the loss.
The main purpose of the reason why he released the creatures in his books before was to confuse the soldiers and civilians in the city, and to mix these special units of the Dark Legion with special creatures that were collected by his ancient books among the humanoid soldiers, and the main attack location was not the northern wall of the city, but sent them to the east and west.
According to the information he has received so far, the army of Qi is at least close to more than 10,000 people left behind on both the east and west sides, and all of them are led by experienced veterans. It was a wise move to break the game from the east and west, so the Mingyi envoy released the creatures sealed in his books, preparing to use them as surprise soldiers to raid the east and west walls.
