(Foreword)

Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

(Text)

Just as the car was about to approach our soldiers, the two soldiers on the car successively hit the tiger shield in the hands of our soldiers with iron hammers. Soon, under the continuous impact of two hammers, the soldiers of our army could no longer hold the shields in their hands, and the soldiers who lost their shields were soon knocked out several meters away by the speeding wooden cart and fell heavily to the ground.

The situation on the battlefield became more and more tragic, and hundreds of wooden carts were rampage through the ranks of our troops. Those soldiers with hammers seemed to cooperate with the soldiers of the arrow platform who fell from the sky - first they knocked down the tiger shield in the hands of our soldiers with heavy hammers, and then the soldiers of the arrow platform fell from the sky and used sharp spears to kill our soldiers.

Their attacks appear so skillful that the soldiers of our army are no match for them at all. The enemy soldiers are approaching layer by layer, and gradually we have no way to retreat.

"Cheng Yin, there's no time to hesitate, let's go!" Xia Cheng blocked the "Heavenly Dragon Spear" in his hand.

I didn't answer or refute Xia Cheng's suggestion, and I needed to think quietly to solve the problem at hand.

There must be a way to unravel the enemy's tactics, and the purpose of Mr. Ouyang Yu's creation of this "strange array" is not to defeat those who participate in the "strange array" through absolute strength, so it can be inferred that even if the enemy's attack tactics are so diverse, the situation we are facing is so difficult. But in this "strange array", we will definitely find a sharp axe to solve the difficult situation in front of us.

"I have to say that you are the most tenacious army that the general has seen so far, and the average army will choose to flee when they see such a battle, even when they are several times the strength of our army, let alone a stubborn resistance like you, who knows that there is no hope of victory. But you don't know that such a choice will only lead to greater casualties. Suddenly, the general named Ling Tong who was standing on the arrow platform said loudly.

It sounds like what Ling Tong said is admiring the courage of our army, but in fact, it is just a change of rhetoric to persuade our army.

Surrender......

It may seem like the third choice we can make, but it is undoubtedly the simplest and most negative of all choices. At this time, surrender is undoubtedly tantamount to admitting defeat, and what awaits us will be forever and forever trapped in this "strange array" until the final demise.

If that's the case, it's better to fight back and create a new world.

Our formation was obviously compressed, and the army of the three roads surrounded our army layer by layer, and the cooperation between the arrow platform and the tiger cart brought a lot of losses to our army. Professor Wu's "Tianjing Fan" had also been lost on the battlefield, and the enemy general Lu Xun raised the feather fan above his head and suddenly descended sharply, although I didn't know what he meant by such a move, but I could feel that they were preparing to launch a final attack.

Sure enough, the drums in the enemy army shook the sky, and the enemy soldiers suddenly accelerated the pace of the attack. Our army, which already suffered heavy casualties, was once again facing a huge challenge.

It's like a small ship that is already extremely dilapidated sailing on the endless sea, already precariously facing the possibility of sinking at any time, but still facing a storm.

What about our army at this time? A dilapidated boat......

My expression was solemn, and I didn't know if what was waiting for us in the distance would be a storm that was even greater than what was in front of us or a rainbow after the storm.

"Cheng Yin, the enemy's attack seems to have suddenly become faster, and the army is swarming towards our army, and we can no longer resist. This time we were really going to lose. Cui Li seems to have given up hope in the present.

"Failed...... Failed...... There is no way we can defeat them. This is not a challenge at all, nor is it at all the strange array of Mr. Ouyang Yu, this is despair. It's ridiculous that we can't come up with a way to deal with the desperate situation in front of us...... Forget it, it's better to just choose to give up. Zhao Yuyu showed a look of despair.

I am not surprised that they would say such things, for in the first time in the Garden of the Lost, although they were also in danger, they had never been so helpless and hopeless—they had no hope at all.

"Students, I didn't expect that I just brought you here to visit, but I encountered such a thing, I'm really sorry." Professor Wu said.

"Professor Wu, it's not your fault, we don't want this." Li Ruina said slowly.

Although the storm in front of us seems so violent that we have no hope of success, no matter how strong and huge the storm is, it can blind our eyes, it can shock our hearing, but it can never stop the rainbow after the storm.

I seemed to be staring into the distance with all my strength, and how I wished I could see through the thick clouds, but it was not as I had imagined. All I could see was the enemy troops attacking us, and all I could hear was the earth-shattering drums of the enemy.

Seeing our soldiers fall one after another, as if the candles on the cake were blown out one after another, everyone's faces showed a look of despair, helplessness and fear, waiting for the moment when fate finally came.

Zhou Tai, the general of the enemy army, rushed into the formation of our army and came to us, waving the sharp blade in his hand. At the moment when the blade fell on us, several Shu soldiers around us desperately blocked in front of us, and they shouted: "Wang Yuxingshi, leave my armor soldiers." Walk with the son! Wang Yuxingshi, rest my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ……”

Although I knew that these Shu soldiers were nothing more than holographic projections of the Qi Array, I was still moved by this perseverance. Just when we thought that our fate was about to end, suddenly the thick clouds in the sky were pierced by a ray of sunlight, and then countless rays of sunlight shone through the clouds and on our bodies.

What we heard in our ears was no longer the earth-shattering drums, but the louder sound of horses' hooves in the distance. We looked into the valley in the distance, and from that stretch of the horizon suddenly thousands of soldiers rushed towards us. We can clearly see that the battle flag fluttering in the distant army has a big word "Shu" on it.

"Zhang Han, you're finally here." My tone was low, staring at the distant sky.
