Chapter 261: Reversal of the Situation
The dark clouds in the sky became even thicker, the living dead looked up at the sky and smiled meaningfully, while Gonggong Liao put all his attention on the encirclement, looking forward to ending the battle as soon as possible.
Although Ma Guiyuan said that he had the god of breaking the army, he could only cause losses to the other party locally, and the overall situation began to be unfavorable to the side of the Maoshan Taoist.
At this time, there were only three people left on Qinglong's side, except for the demon and Weiben plus Qinglong, and the remaining two squads all died on the battlefield, if it weren't for Qinglong's superior martial arts, I am afraid that they would have died in Huangquan a long time ago, even so, these three people were also scarred.
This is war, it doesn't pay attention to human feelings, any emotion is superfluous in it, every time you fight, all you can think of is how to kill the opponent most effectively and minimize your own damage. Therefore, it is almost impossible not to get hurt.
When the team led by Suzaku cleaned up the Taoist priests on the periphery, their team quickly slaughtered the core of the Five Thunder Array.
"Those who take Qinglong, Mao Zuwang, Ma Guiyuan, and Deng Ziming will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold!" Suzaku's voice sounded again, and it seemed that the other party should be in the chest, and the victory was in hand.
Mao Zuwang touched his chest, which contained all kinds of demons, unjust souls, ghosts, and spiritual objects that he had surrendered to over the years.
Just as Mao Zuwang took out the black paper secret talisman in his arms and was about to summon the sealed Dongdong inside, the first lightning fell.
In the darkness of the night, the lightning that slipped was particularly eye-catching, and directly hit a pair of Pu Dao soldiers in the west. Where the lightning fell, several of the Pu Dao soldiers were blown up, and a deep pit was left on the ground, surrounded by soldiers who had been hit by splashed clods of dirt or who had been stunned.
The Five Thunder Array was finally completed, but there were no Taoist priests outside who withdrew into the formation, and the Taoist priests who had just rushed out with high morale had already died on the battlefield now, and Qinglong and Ma Guiyuan and others were also trapped in the enemy's queue and it was difficult to retreat.
At this time, Deng Ziming's whole body was pale, but he seemed to be very energetic, and the whole gave people a particularly contradictory feeling. I saw Deng Ziming pinching the Five Thunder Tricks in his left hand and pinching the sword fingers in his right hand, standing in the middle of the formation as steady as Mount Tai. The sword finger of the right hand first pointed at the five thunder tricks, then pointed at the sky, and then pointed the sword finger at the incoming enemy, and a bolt of lightning slashed down along the position pointed by Deng Ziming, shaking the earth and trembling.
After the first lightning bolt slashed down, dozens of lightning bolts of different thicknesses also fell one by one in the crowd of the other party, the thick lightning exceeded the water tank, and the thinner one was thinner than the kite string, to put it bluntly, it was the level of personal mana, which determined the power of the thunder.
It was the middle of winter, and the soil on the ground was already frozen together, and when the lightning struck the ground, the clods of earth burst out like bullets, shooting through the bodies of one soldier after another. Of course, some of the more unlucky soldiers were struck by lightning and burned into black charcoal in an instant, so at this moment, there was a mushy smell everywhere in the air.
When the sloppy Taoist talked about this, I found that I was hungry again, not only hungry, but also wanted to eat barbecue, some meat skewers, more salt and chili powder, and a beer. No, I can't keep thinking about it, the more Nima thinks about it, the hungrier she gets!
At this time, Liao's Gonggong's troops began to rout, no wonder they were soldiers, if it was a real confrontation, no matter whether they won or lost, at least everyone dared to fight. Who has seen Nima see when two armies are fighting, one side rushes forward in a daze, and the other side draws lightning from the sky down to chop itself? This Nima is also too strange, too special to ruin the three views.
And the appearance of the chopping death is also miserable, almost unrecognizable, like roasting a whole sheep, this Nima will not recognize himself when his family collects the corpse in the future, and he will not be able to recognize himself.
The so-called discouragement and low morale of the army refer to the enemy troops after the launch of the Five Thunder Array. And terror is contagious like a virus, when the first person throws down the blade and escapes, the people around him will be infected, one sweeps away ten, ten can sweep away a hundred, this is also weishenme we often say that shoot people first shoot horses, capture thieves first capture the king. It is to make the opponent's army disheartened and leaderless, so as to achieve a soldier who surrenders without a fight.
Suzaku and Xuanwu were also panicked at first, after all, they had never seen this kind of way of fighting in their lives, but after stabilizing their minds, the two of them immediately stabilized their emotions and began to arrange for their cronies to stop the soldiers who fled.
Xuanwu personally cut down a few soldiers who escaped from the rout, and only then did he stop the rhythm of continuing the rout, but even so, those soldiers did not dare to continue to advance, but you pushed me, I pushed yours to stand in place, no one wanted to be the first bird, so far, the form of the battlefield has undergone a big reversal. The Maoshan Sect's side, at least in the confrontation with the army, occupies an absolute advantage.
Xuanwu knew that if he didn't take the lead at this moment, then the next person to be beheaded would definitely be himself. So he personally led the death squad to take the lead, arranged for the Suzaku Palace, and ordered to go down: Those who dare to continue to rout and flee will be killed.
This group of frightened soldiers followed closely behind Xuanwu and began to continue to kill in the array, only this time from a complete encirclement to a fan shape, because the part of the soldiers without the Overseer had already fled without a trace.
If the Taoists of the Maoshan Sect want to escape now, it should be the most suitable time, after all, only one side of the other party is still attacking, and the remaining troops in the three directions are all fleeing to death.
But none of these Taoists escaped, not because these people were affectionate, but because they all knew that they could escape for a while, but they couldn't escape for a lifetime. At this time, if you can't defeat the other party, then you will be arrested by the other party as a fugitive for the rest of your life.
And the most interesting thing is still to come, the lightning attracted by Deng Ziming and others was all split in the position between Xuanwu and Suzaku, after all, it was an artificial lightning, and the position could still be controlled.
This makes this group of soldiers even more panicked, dare you dead bull noses will split our big head soldiers to play? We're not wood, you can chop as much as you want.
So when a stout bolt of lightning struck the ranks again, the soldiers could no longer bear this psychological fear. They all dropped their blades and began to flee with their heads in their hands, ignoring Xuanwu and Suzaku's orders.
Maybe in the eyes of others, my life is very cheap, but for ourselves, this life is too precious, who is not the product of the blood of the father and mother, and who is willing to be split into black charcoal.
And not only the soldiers ran, but even the total and thousands of generals also began to run away, after all, no one can be sure who will be hit by the next lightning, if it hits himself, then who to find to reason, not to mention this incident, the court did not know, dead is dead, there is no pension.
The balance of the war began to favor the Taoists of Maoshan, and this was the first time since the beginning of the war that this group of Taoists gained the initiative on the battlefield.
