Chapter 41: The Seven-Star Arrow Array
"That's... Then let's go together, I didn't expect Mr. to be a scholar, but he is also a little arrogant!" Ma Yun said curtly.
"The master's martial arts are progressing very fast, killing the black and white ghosts during the day, I can see it clearly in the house. I think that when I first met the owner of the village, I was a little helpless in the face of a few minions of the Black Wind Village, it has only been more than a year, and you can already easily kill high-level martial artists, which is really admirable!"
"Where, where. I didn't expect my husband to be so careful, and I can see the changes in the past year or so. Does the gentleman know martial arts?" asked Ma Yun in surprise.
"I don't know martial arts, but I have read a lot of martial arts cheats, and I know a lot about martial arts. The first time you used the basic style was superficial, and then your swordsmanship should be the shadowless swordsmanship, but your swordsmanship seems to be better, similar in shape but not like a god, and is no longer confined to fixed moves, the move comes from the heart, and the power is several times greater. Such a talent, given time, will surely move the world. Shangguan Feng looked at Ma Yun with a smile.
"It's... This... Mr. Jean laughed. I don't know how many times I've been praised these days, but such an objective and pertinent praise still makes Ma Yun very embarrassed.
"Your black iron weapon is also very powerful, but it is used in an improper way. During the day, I watched the soldiers in iron armor, armed with repeating crossbows, but they were defeated by the alone, and if it weren't for the solid iron armor, most of those soldiers would have died. Shangguan Feng said regretfully.
"What does Mr. mean by this? That is a senior martial artist, and most of those soldiers are junior martial artists, although it is very good to be able to save their lives with the advantage of weapons, can they still try to defeat their opponents?" Shangguan Feng's words made Ma Yun a little confused.
"During the day, if those soldiers shoot according to a certain law, it is not impossible to shoot their opponents. Shangguan Feng shook his head.
"Please also make it clear to Mr." Ma Yun was overjoyed, as if he sensed something, and made a gesture at Shangguan Feng.
"Those soldiers, all of them shoot arrows at the opponent, and the arrows are all concentrated in one place, and the enemy is a master, of course, they can easily dodge. If those arrows are scattered and shot in different sequences, calculate the enemy's dodge in advance, and the enemy will have no way to avoid it, so he can only resist hard, with the sharpness of black iron arrows, even if the master resists hard, he will be injured a lot, how can he let him rush into the team at will and kill. After Shangguan Feng finished speaking, he looked at Ma Yun quietly.
"Miao! Mr. Miao's words are very reasonable, this should be the way of formation evolution, but unfortunately although I am familiar with martial arts, I have nothing to do with the way of that formation. Ma Yun showed a look of surprise on his face, and in a blink of an eye, he seemed to think of something, and then said: "Since Mr. can put forward such an opinion, it can be seen that the way of the deep formation is clear, I don't know if Mr. can bother to give some advice." ”
"The owner of the village has a good reputation, as a member of this Xiong'an village, it is my duty to do something for the village. If the thief is allowed to succeed during the day, everyone in the village is afraid that they will fall into a state of catastrophe again. Shangguan Feng was not polite, and agreed in one bite, which doubled Ma Yun's favor.
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the place of cremation. There were several torches lit around the pit, and Ma Yun took one and walked down the pit first. That Shangguan Feng did not hesitate, and raised his heel.
There were several iron frames in the big pit, and one of them caught Ma Yun's attention, because only that iron frame had ashes on it, and there was a faint silver light emitting from the ashes.
Ma Yun hesitated slightly, found a branch and tossed the ashes, revealing the silver thing inside, which turned out to be four silver glittering hand-shaped things, one of which was cut into two pieces, needless to say, the four-hand-shaped thing must have been left by the black and white ghosts.
Picking up a hand to look at it, the inside was empty, it turned out to be just a layer similar to leather, but the thing was very strong, and it was not burned under the fire. After looking at it for a long time and not finding any doorways, Ma Yun put the silver-skinned thing down.
"This should be the magic silver hand!" Shangguan Feng, who had not spoken, said behind his back, unexpectedly that this woman was so bold and dared to take a closer look at the ashes.
"Oh, Magic Silver Hand, please make it clear to you!"
"This magic silver hand is an outer martial art, and the cultivation method is extremely vicious, but after practicing it, a pair of hands becomes like silver, and the sword is difficult to hurt. When the cultivation is to the extreme, a stroke of luck will emit a highly poisonous hand, and the opponent will be poisoned to death without noticing, which is really evil and despised by the people in the rivers and lakes. I've only seen it in books, and I never thought that anyone would actually practice this kind of evil skill. ”
"No wonder you are not afraid to take my sword with your bare hands. ”
"Although tenacious, didn't you still cut off your palm?" Shangguan Feng smiled lightly.
"I'm just relying on my weapon!, sir, the silver things that are left over now are of use. ”
"This... I don't know about this, this silver thing shouldn't be a mortal thing, it's a pity to lose it like this, if you don't shy away from it, it's better to give it to Mr. Gao and see if he has a way to transform it. ”
"What Mr. said is very true, I will have someone send it to Mr. Gao tomorrow. It's over here, so let's go back. Shangguan Feng nodded.
"Forget it, since she has the intention to hide it, it seems that she has a last resort, so she won't find out. Ma Yun hesitated again and again in his heart, but he still did not reveal the identity of the Shangguanfeng woman.
The two chatted about some other things along the way, which made Ma Yun sigh in his heart: This Shangguan Feng is definitely a military wizard. He is very proficient in the formation and formation evolution.
"It seems to be about my age, how can people know so much. Although it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, the breadth of knowledge of Shangguan Feng is indeed admirable, and judging from her views on martial arts, this person is by no means a dead reader, I am afraid that there are also outstanding points in actual combat, and ordinary people will never have this achievement, Ma Yun is curious about her true identity.
Soon returned to the house, Ma Yun said whimsically: "If Mr. is willing, I will ask Mr. to prepare a quiet place for him alone, and Mr. can read with peace of mind." Ma Yun looked at Shangguan Feng with a hint of cunning.
Seeing Ma Yun like this, Shangguan Feng actually showed a trace of panic, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the village owner, it's good for me to live here alone." ”
"Then for now, if the gentleman needs it in the future, just ask. Also, early tomorrow morning, I will invite Mr. to the Juyi Cave to discuss the method of arranging troops. Mr.'s words make me yearn for it very much, if a dozen soldiers can fight with high-level warriors, even if it only lasts for a while, it is also an excellent combat power. ”
"Naturally, I'll be there on time tomorrow. The night is dark, and the owner of the village should rest early. Seeing Shangguan Feng close the door, Ma Yun smiled and returned to his residence.
The top priority is to restore the consumed mysterious energy to the best state, without that mysterious energy, Ma Yun can barely be regarded as a high-level martial artist, but he will never be an opponent of the level of a deadly scholar. When killing the black and white ghosts during the day and detoxifying Tong and Qin, a lot of mysterious energy was consumed, but fortunately, the strange poison turned out to be a tonic of mysterious energy, and after devouring, the mysterious energy recovered a lot, this discovery made Ma Yun's heart excited.
This yin and yang corpse poison is different from the poison of the beauty drunk, the poison of the beauty drunk can only be expelled by the binding of the mysterious energy, but it cannot be devoured, and this yin and yang corpse poison can be easily devoured and can strengthen that power. The last time I fought with that deadly scholar, the mysterious energy was exhausted, and it took Ma Yun two days to recover.
This gave Ma Yun an idea, that is, in case the mysterious energy was exhausted, he could quickly recover by devouring the yin and yang corpse poison, but he didn't expect this highly poisonous thing to become his life-saving thing. This time, there is still half of the mysterious energy in the body, and it only takes one day of exercise to regain the full power.
On the second day, in the Juyi Cave, in addition to Ma Yun and the others, there was one more young scholar, who was Shangguan Feng invited by Ma Yun. When Shangguan Feng said what he thought, Tong and Qin were amazed.
However, it was said that after Shangguan Feng returned to the house last night, he did not rest, but wrote a formation called the Seven Star Arrow Formation overnight. From how many people are needed, to the position in various situations, and the various changes when facing the enemy, it is dazzling to see.
Looking at the tiredness on Shangguan Feng's face, Ma Yun's heart was full of admiration. In just one night, he was able to write such a complicated formation, and this person's character can be seen.
The seven-star arrow array, with seven as a base, can be seven people, or fourteen people, and so on. It is divided into defensive formation, offensive formation, trapped formation, and killing formation. Each formation is different, and it can be converted between formations through station rotation, and the end is magical.
It's just that everyone in the formation has their own way of changing offense and defense, and it's very difficult to practice. However, this formation also has an advantage, that is, with seven as the base, several arrow formations can be trained at the same time, and when the time comes, they can be combined and divided, and the combined power is greater, and they are flexible and changeable.
When asked how long it would take to take shape, Shangguan Feng said lightly that it would take three months to become a small success. Ma Yun and the three of them originally wanted to see the power of the arrow array as soon as possible, but they were inevitably a little disappointed in three months.
In the end, a few people discussed, since it took such a long time, they would rehearse a few more arrow formations, and finally decided to rehearse seven seven-star arrow formations, which would require forty-nine people. Even if fifty young men were selected from the village to serve as guards, this manpower would still be seriously insufficient.
This shortage of manpower has become the top problem hindering the development of Xiong'an Village. Ma Yun unconsciously thought of that Jiayuan City, if he occupied Jiayuan City, he would be able to recruit thousands of people.
Today's Jiayuan City has less than 3,000 defenders, and in Xiong'an Village, in addition to less than 80 serious soldiers in Tongguanshan, there are more than 100 young and strong people, but the combat effectiveness of these people is much worse.
With the strength of two hundred people, even if Jiayuan City is given to you, you can't defend it, and you can count it when you stand on the top of the city wall.
"Before attacking Jiayuan City, there must be enough manpower. Jack Ma has made a new decision.
As soon as the meeting of several people dispersed, Gao Tang sent someone to find Ma Yun. Seeing Ma Yun coming, Gao Tang greeted him with a smile, still holding the strange silver thing in his hand.
"Young man, this thing is very magical, extremely flexible, I can melt it and forge it into a protective gear. ”
"I don't know if I can make two pieces of soft armor to protect the front and back chests and let the two big brothers use them. ”
Gao Tang lowered his head and thought for a while, and nodded: "It should be possible, as long as you add some other materials, there will be no problem in making two pieces of soft armor." ”
"Then there's Mr. Laugo!"
