Chapter 224: Outside the city
The group walked towards the city gate, and just a few steps away, Teng Xinzun suddenly said: "Lord City Guard, most of the days have passed, and those spies have not yet been tried?
Long Qifeng stopped, looked at Teng Xinzun and said: "Don't you say that I forgot, this matter was handed over to the counselor, and he didn't reply to me at all, didn't he come out of the trial?" No, I have to go and see, you take care of it here." After the deployment was completed, the suspension bridge was directly dismantled, saving the opportunity to correct the dynasty. ”
Teng Xinzun immediately said: "I was about to tell you that 200,000 people came this time, and the combat strength of our soldiers was not as good as the other party, so I broke off the idea of going out of the city to fight, and wanted to defend the Heavenly City, and prepared to seal the city gate with bricks and stones, cutting off their way into the city." ”
Although Long Qifeng doesn't pay attention to military affairs, he still reads in some books, even if he defends the city, he must have contacts and contacts, seize the opportunity, defeat the other party, or force him back. If you blindly stick to it and be in a passive position, it will not be conducive to the entire battle situation.
But now there is too much difference in strength, and they can only defend to the death. And because of the particularity of the Heavenly City, it may be the best way to defend it, because there are only two gates in the Heavenly City, as long as you hold this wall, you can block the people of the righteous dynasty. Other cities have at least four gates, and if the number of people is too different from the besieger, it is easy to be breached.
It's just that Teng Xinzun just talked about the problem of combat strength, this is something he is worried about, don't collapse at the first touch, then this battle can't be fought.
So, he thought for a moment and said, "I think it's okay, I'll leave this matter to you, find some craftsmen, and block the city gate." However, there are more equipment to defend the city, and since the defensive position is taken, all preparations must be made. And that morale. I wonder how you've improved, but I'll be up to you. ”
Teng Xinzun's face flushed, he didn't expect his soldiers to be so bad, and he almost collapsed against a few people. "I know that I have arranged for the city gate to be done. I've been training morale for a long time, so they should be able to understand. ”
Meng Huan Chilong didn't care about any morale, but was worried about his own people, and said a little anxiously: "Seal the city? How can this work, if there are still clansmen coming, how can they enter the city?"
"It doesn't matter, we have hanging baskets, and if someone comes, they can be pulled up from the walls. It just so happens that it can also be carefully inspected, and not a single upright dynasty person is allowed to enter the city. Teng Xinzun explained.
Long Qifeng asked again: "The scouts sent out, is there any news coming back?"
Teng Xinzun paused slightly, and said: "Yes, they have seen the vanguard of the Duanzheng Dynasty, there are about 20,000 people, and they will arrive tomorrow, and the others are still inquiring." You'd better urge the county lord, I'm afraid that those old men will not be the same, if the reinforcements come late, we will be in trouble. ”
Long Qifeng said very simply: "Okay, I'll send someone over tonight." Then he turned to Lei Mu and said, "Mr. Lei, the matter of arranging the formation depends on a few of you, and when the time comes, I will give you the first credit." ”
The rune array is in charge of Lei Mu, and now he is holding the compass, waiting for the soldiers to open the city gate, and when he heard this, he said: "Don't worry, Lord City Guard, I will do this well, otherwise I can't afford to lose this person, right?"
Long Qifeng gave a few more orders to Teng Xinzun, and hurriedly left with a few guards.
After the city gate was opened, Teng Xinzun didn't follow, but just asked Long Qishui to accompany him, thinking that he was arranging for someone to block the city gate overnight.
The soldiers of the Longqi Water Belt should bring digging tools, because these array pillars should be buried in the soil according to the direction and hidden, so that people cannot find the rune array, and then use magic power to destroy the array disk and launch the entire rune array.
As soon as he left the city, Lei Mu summoned Meng Huan Chilong and Lei Suyu to his side, and explained the compass in his hand to them with the torches of the soldiers.
The compass is an essential tool for the rune master, because the arrangement needs to be arranged according to the heavenly and terrestrial branches, and the compass is to distinguish the direction. The compass is composed of Tianchi, an inner disk, and an outer disk.
Tianchi is called the bottom of the sea, but it is actually a compass. The inner disk is round, there are many grids on it, and the orientation of the symbolic array such as the heavenly stem and the earthly branch is engraved, and the inner disk can be rotated, which is the main component of the compass. The outer disc is square, which is the tray of the inner plate, and there is a small hole in the middle point of the outer side of the four sides, which is used to read the contents of the inner disc surface.
With the help of this compass, Lei Mu explained to them the relationship between the Eight Gates and the Array, as well as the relationship between the Array and the attributes.
Although under the light of the soldier's torch, the words on the compass could not be seen clearly, but after all, it was told with the help of real objects, and Meng Huan Chilong thought of what Lei Mu said in the afternoon, and seemed to understand half of the part that he did not understand.
The "Five-Yuan Knife Array" they laid out talks about the relationship between the five kinds of vitality, and the formation is arranged according to the principle of mutual growth and mutual restraint, but the "Five-Yuan Knife Array" is already a deformed formation, and the whole shape is like a knife.
Because it is a transformed transformation formation, the "Five-Yuan Sword Formation" is different from the general formation, and other formations only need to find the middle palace, and then determine other directions.
The focus of the "Five-Element Sword Array" is the gold element, and only by finding the gold can we determine the orientation of wood, fire, earth, and water, and then locate the middle palace, which can trigger the rune array. Now the middle palace has been set on the city tower, which is convenient for destroying the talisman array. In this way, it is necessary to find other directions based on the castle tower and implement the exact location of the five types of vitality.
Lei Mu used the compass to determine the direction, looked around again, and said: "There are two sets of knife formations, let's lay out two knives on the front and back! The city gate is short of gold, so we use water to bring gold, starting from the moat, which is regarded as a reverse knife, and the other set starts with the mountain, and uses the earth with gold as the positive knife."
Ba Tiande, who came with him, looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "I think it's okay, just according to what Lei Lao said, let's do it quickly, and we will be more down-to-earth when we finish it." ”
According to the direction of the compass, Lei Mu first chose a position by the moat, and said: "Lay a water array pillar here, and the others will take the array pillar and follow me, and then go to choose the location of the wood." However, when burying the formation pillar, don't bury it too deeply, as long as there is a layer of floating soil, don't be bad at that time. ”
A spirit witch was left at the position of the water array pillar, and the soldiers were buried in the formation pillar, and the others followed Lei Mu forward. After distributing a few pillars in a row, Meng Huan Chilong found that there was a pattern in the middle. Although the overall shape is a knife, there is still a distinction between attributes.
He asked, "Master, this array seems to be very exquisite, is there any law in the middle?"
Hearing his question, Lei Mu couldn't help but laugh heartily, and the laughter was particularly loud in the quiet night. "Hehe, you can find this problem, it proves that you see the difference in this rune array, you are really a person who learns the rune array, and you can find the problem after only learning the rune array for one day. ”
Hearing this, he was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not that I found out, I just don't understand, so I asked Master." ”
Meng Wai Chilong's modest attitude made Lei Mu nod with satisfaction and said, "Since it is called the Five-Yuan Sword Array, it is natural that the five attributes must be complete, otherwise it is not a Five-Yuan Array." The second is that the strength of the five attributes must be equal, which is also the reason why you want to reach the fifth level of wizards, this is a must for all rune arrays, if the power in the rune array is uneven, you can't exert real power. ”
He said suddenly: "There is a line in this formation that I don't understand, when the formation is arranged, the attributes of each other should be pasted together, and the space is mutually restrained, is it not that all formations are clothed according to this law, and according to the cloth of gold, water, wood, fire, and earth, the one who restrains each other should still restrain each other, right?"
Lei Mu looked at him with some pride and said, "Okay, great, it's not easy for you to see this." However, the mutual restraint in the attributes is relative, not absolute. How to arrange a formation depends on the formation itself, with your cleverness, try a few more times, and you will know the trick. ”
He leaned closer to the master and whispered, "Master, don't praise your apprentice, let's talk about what is particular about the array." ”
Although the sound is small, it still sounds clear at night, when the surroundings are quiet. In addition, a few people next to him are basically wizards, so they all laughed when they heard it.
After Lei Mu and the others stopped laughing, he said solemnly: "What I just talked about is the law of the five-element sword formation, in fact, different formations have different laws, which is also the reason why the formations are different and have different functions. The five-element array must have complete attributes, and the key point of the six-fold array and the seven-star array is to pay attention to the direction, and determine the position according to the eight doors and six armors in order to arrange the array. Therefore, the law of formation is not static, and how to arrange the formation can be determined according to different terrains. ”
Under the faint torch, he nodded and said seriously: "Master, I understand what you mean, the formation is dead, and the person who sets up the formation is alive, so the formation should be the same as fighting, and it is also a move depending on the situation." ”
Lei Mu laughed again and said, "Yes, this is the principle, the main thing is to memorize the rune array diagram and formation method on the divine array record, and then see the situation and arrange the formation, this is the foundation of the rune array master." It will only memorize, and it will not be used flexibly, and it will not become a big tool after all. ”
He didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. Lei Mu didn't speak, knowing that the truth was easy to say, but it was not so easy to really use it, otherwise Lei Mu would not have learned the talisman array for a lifetime.
After a while, Lei Mu, Ba Tiande, and Ma Jingmu were several spirit witches, with the help of the soldiers, and buried a set of formations. This formation controls all the open spaces outside the city walls, and as long as it is activated, anyone within this range will be attacked.
Then prepare to lay out the second set of formations, which uses the mountains outside Yitian City as the focus of the sword formation's attack. According to Lei Mu, this sword array was pushed from the edge of the cliff to the city wall and moat, and this place must be the most crowded place when attacking the city.
While the red dragon and the soldiers were busy, they saw torches rushing towards them from afar. You can see Long Jinliu panting and running in front, and Teng Xinzun followed behind with a few soldiers.
Before he got closer, Long Jinliu shouted: "Brother Chilong, Uncle told you to go back to the city to guard the mansion, saying that those spies were willing to tell the truth only if they wanted to see you." ”
He frowned, followed Lei Mu, and just realized a little bit of the essence of the formation, and asked him to leave, a little reluctant, so he muttered. "I'm a reported lieutenant, what does it have to do with the trial of spies? Isn't that a matter of the counselor?"
