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

The "arrow towers" in the distance are constantly attacking our army's shield array, and although the number of bows and arrows is not overwhelming, they can still inflict continuous damage on our army.

I have carefully analyzed that there are about twenty to thirty enemy soldiers on each "arrow tower", and since I have the help of the "Heavenly Pavilion Sword", it is not difficult to knock down twenty enemy soldiers at the same time. But the only difficulty was that I couldn't attack the archers on the "Arrow Tower" at all. I wish I could have a pair of wings and fly to those "arrow towers". Even though I'm in a virtual world, it's obviously not what I thought it would be.

I looked at the "Heavenly Pavilion Sword" in front of me. I felt a sense of helplessness in my heart. Watching the soldiers of our army beside him fall one after another, the pain in my heart is self-evident.

"Damn, my blacksmith fought with you!" After the blacksmith finished speaking, he rushed to the enemy camp, and brandished the "Sun and Moon Double Chopping Knife" in his hand to knock down the enemy soldiers who came forward one after another.

But at this moment, the swarming enemy soldiers waved their sharp blades and slashed at the blacksmith, and when I saw this, I hurriedly flew out of the "Heavenly Pavilion Sword" to block the blades of those soldiers, and shouted: "Blacksmith, now is not the time to be rash!" Come back! ”

Because the "Tiange Sword" went to rescue the blacksmith in danger, but could not block the flying bows and arrows, the soldiers of our army continued to fall on the battlefield of Yiling Pass.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't been so reckless, these soldiers wouldn't have ......," the blacksmith choked as he spoke.

"Blacksmith ......" I looked at the blacksmith but didn't know what to say, if I want to say the wrong thing, it should be all my fault, if it weren't for the fact that I am afraid that the blacksmith at this time is still living leisurely in the blacksmith shop in Gangneung City, it is impossible to come to such a dangerous battlefield of Yiling Pass. I brought him here.

The bows and arrows from the "Arrow Stand" continued to attack us, so that the enemy could exhaust our soldiers with almost no single soldier

However, our attack on both sides did not go well, so I had to buy them as much time as possible, but the enemy's bows and arrows did not give our troops a chance.

"Damn...... If it weren't for the fact that this 'arrow tower' is too high, I would have loved to fly over it. Cui Li shouted angrily.

Obviously, Cui Li and I had the same thoughts, watching the enemy archers keep attacking our army, but we were helpless and could only watch the soldiers around us fall in front of us.

I looked at the "Heavenly Pavilion Sword" hanging in the air beside me and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a familiar scene appeared in my mind.

I turned back to Cui Li and shouted, "Cui Li, please here, I'll go back!" ”

Cui Li looked at me with a shocked expression: "Cheng Yin, where are you going?" It's surrounded by enemy troops, and you can't go anywhere? ”

I looked at the "Arrow Tower" not far away and said, "I'm going to stop those archers." ”

"Cheng Yin, although I would like to stop those archers, they are so far away that they can't reach us. Although the 'Heavenly Pavilion Sword' in your hand can fly at will, it can't exceed the control range of the Xuanshi in your hand, I'm afraid it can't fly as far as the 'Arrow Tower', right?" ”

"Cui Li, I have my own way, but I still need your help."

"Cheng Yin, if there is any way, just say it, I will definitely do my best to help you." Cui Li looked at me trustingly.

"You must form an angle between the 'Dragon Shield' in your hand and the ground, I need a running distance." I looked at Cui Li and said.

Although Cui Li didn't know what I wanted to do, he put the "Phantom Dragon Shield" in his hand on the ground, and then the person half-squatted down and leaned the "Phantom Dragon Shield" in front of him, so that it formed an angle with the ground, which was exactly what I needed.

I ran towards Cui Li as fast as I could, and then stepped the "Ghost Dragon Shield" he had erected, a perfect take-off, and I was already suspended in the air at this time.

Just as I was about to fall, suddenly the "Heavenly Pavilion Sword" flew at my feet impartially and continued to fly forward with me.

"Damn, Edgeworth flies! Cheng Yin, if you really have you, this will work. ”

In this way, I used the Xuanshi to control the "Heavenly Pavilion Sword" under my feet and flew towards the enemy's "Arrow Tower". Seeing this, the enemy did not slack off in the slightest, and immediately drew their bows and arrows to attack us.

I moved left and right to avoid the arrows that were speeding towards me, and if I couldn't avoid them, I swung my "heavy iron sword" in my hand to block them.

In this way, I landed firmly on the enemy's "arrow platform". Because of my actions, all the other archers on the "Arrow Stand" focused all their attention on me. In this way, the pressure on our army has been reduced a lot.

I wielded the "Heavy Iron Sword" to knock down the archers on the "Arrow Tower" one after another, and then stepped on the "Heavenly Pavilion Sword" to another "Arrow Tower".

In this way, although I did not defeat all the archers on the "Arrow Tower", I at least damaged their vitality. In this case, it will not do great harm to our army.

Because we were able to block the attack of the enemy's "Arrow Stand", the enemy had to launch a fierce attack on the ground to destroy our army.

The logs, which had been wrapped in iron sheets, were wrapped with cotton cloth and poured with oil. I saw that the soldiers of the enemy army lit the cotton cloth with the torches in their hands. In this way, the logs wrapped in cotton cloth burned fiercely, and with a chain necklace, they were tied to two fast horses, and charged towards our army.

Originally, the heavy logs could cause a lot of damage to our army's tiger shield array, but now coupled with the raging flames, it is even more difficult for our army to parry. Many of the Tiger Shield soldiers were burned by the burning logs.

Seeing this, Cui Li hurriedly set up the "Phantom Dragon Shield" and blocked it in front of the injured soldier. The circular Tiger Shield Formation could have defended against enemy forces coming from all sides, but once it was breached, its defense power would be greatly reduced, and it would soon be engulfed by enemy troops.

The huge log slammed into the "Phantom Dragon Shield", although the impact itself did not have a great impact on Cui Li. But the burns caused by the raging fire could make him feel the pain deeply, so that Cui Li couldn't hold the "Phantom Dragon Shield" in his hand. In this way, the "Phantom Dragon Shield" fell heavily in front of Cui Li.

Once Cui Li loses the protection of the "Phantom Dragon Shield", it is like losing the last favorable barrier, and any enemy infantry can easily make him disappear in this world.

At this moment, the three enemy soldiers waved their blades at Cui Li. Seeing this, I hurriedly controlled the "Heavenly Pavilion Sword" to go to the rescue, but I saw that I was about to catch up, but at this time, a huge body blocked in front of him, blocking three enemy soldiers with the blade in my hand.

At the same time, the other two enemy soldiers who were oncoming slashed their blades at the blacksmith who was blocking Cui Li's body.

"Blacksmith...... Blacksmith...... Are you okay? Cui Li didn't know what to say, he was completely frightened by the scene in front of him.

"Cui Zhuangshi, since I met you and Cheng Shaoxia in Jiangling City, it has been the happiest thing in my life. So you're all going to get out of here anyway......" said the blacksmith, enduring the intense pain.

At this time, I had already come to their side. The blacksmith's injuries were not minor, and the severe pain caused him to fall to the ground. Cui Li and I wanted to help, but we couldn't. Although the blacksmith was nothing more than a holographic projection, I felt like he was my friend, always standing up for us when we were in the most danger.

"Blacksmith, blacksmith...... Didn't you say that you would return to the blacksmith shop in Gangneung City after this battle? Aren't you going to craft the most powerful blades? Have you forgotten? You can't fall here, you can't. You stand up, you stand up! ”

Tears rolled down my cheeks and dripped down the battlefield.

"Young Hero...... I am a blacksmith...... I'm afraid I can't go back. However, I'm really happy, it's worth it to leave Gangneung City this time to meet so many heroes and heroes. Shaoxia, you must get out of here, I blacksmith can't help you anymore, take care. The blacksmith collapsed in front ......of us like this, and could no longer say a word to us.

At this time, the enemy army was still launching a fierce attack on our army, and the soldiers beside me desperately used the tiger shield to block the enemy troops that came to me, so that I and the blacksmith had some peace.

I couldn't control the tears in my eyes, and Cui Li was silent beside me. But we know that this battle is not over, and if you want to get out of here, you must hold on to your blades and fight with the enemy, and fight with the last strength of your body until my heart no longer beats.

"Cheng Yin, why did you say blacksmith...... Why do you want to ...... for me Sacrifice for me. Isn't he a holographic projection? Don't...... Is this the setting of 'Odd Array'? But...... But my heart tells me that this is not the case. My heart hurts, it's like he's really my friend. Cui Li said sadly.

"Cui Li, you are right, the blacksmith is our friend, and not only him, but also Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, and every soldier here who fights for us. Although they are just holographic projections, or just artificial intelligence, they have the same feelings as us, they are real beings. They ...... "I almost choked up as I spoke, and I couldn't speak." After entering this 'strange array', the blacksmith was the first person I had encountered, and I had fought until now, but seeing him fall in front of me like this at this time, I felt an unspeakable pain in my heart.

"Cheng Yin, shouldn't we do something? For you, for me, for all of us, we have to get out of here. After Cui Li finished speaking, he picked up the "Phantom Dragon Shield" from the ground again, and then desperately rammed the "Phantom Dragon Shield" in his hand into the enemy soldiers. Immediately afterwards, he picked up the blacksmith's "Sun and Moon Double Chopping Knife" and rushed towards the enemy.

The attack of the enemy soldiers did not abate in the slightest, and the two sides scuffled. Soon, the soldiers of our army were one after another, and the tiger shields scattered on the ground seemed to cover the earth with an iron carpet, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around them, and gradually only Cui Li and General Wu were left, as well as a few dozen tiger shield soldiers.

We leaned together, holding back the enemy's advance with the last of our strength.

"Cheng Yin, do you think we will fall here?" Cui Li asked with a wry smile.

"Maybe, who knows? Maybe there will be a miracle, right? "I don't know if a miracle will happen, but I know that we can never give up the last glimmer of hope, no matter how small that hope is, it is our motivation to move forward.

The enemy surrounded us and it took less than a minute to knock us all down. I saw that the enemy army drew their bows and arrows, and countless bows and arrows rushed towards us.

Although Cui Li had the "Phantom Dragon Shield" in his hand, he couldn't resist the bows and arrows coming from all directions.

At this critical moment, General Wu led the dozen or so soldiers to block around me and Cui Li. The bow and arrow hit their bodies, and one by one they fell to the ground.

"General Wu!" I shouted.

I never thought they would.

General Wu was hit by several arrows, but he still did not fall, but held the big knife in his hand and shouted at the enemy: "I am Wu Ban, the general of Shuzhong, who can fight me for thirty rounds!" ”

General Wu apparently shouted loudly with the last of his strength. But none of the enemy's soldiers dared to come forward.

"Hahaha! Rat! I have several swords in my body, but none of you dare to come forward to fight with me, and dare to laugh at me for having no generals in Shu and no ministers in Han! With that, General Wu propped up the broadsword in his hand on the ground and left in laughter.

My tears couldn't help but fall, too many injuries are hard to speak, but at this time, only Cui Li and I are left standing in the midst of the enemy's thousands of troops, I believe that we will soon fall in this battlefield like the blacksmith and General Wu.

Cui Li blocked the "Phantom Dragon Shield" in front of us: "Cheng Yin, it seems that we can't get out today, in this case, let's have a big fight!" Let's see how much ability he still has in Dongwu! ”

Suddenly there was a downpour in the sky, and the rain drops fell on us. I glanced at Cui Li: "It seems that this rain is crowning us." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

In this way, Cui Li and I rushed towards the enemy army with the "Dark Dragon Shield" and the "Heavy Iron Long Sword" respectively, and at the same time, the "Heavenly Pavilion Sword" also protected our left and right. At least for even a second more for our army, we will earn.

We rushed into tens of thousands of attacks, and small attacks may not have helped, but they proved our resolve.

Just as we were rushing towards the enemy, lightning and thunder suddenly thundered, and we seemed to feel a powerful force coming towards us behind us.

Once again, I felt the gears of fate kick in again......
