Chapter 253: Li Tai'an, Water Dragon Car
Chu Bai posted a list and announced to the whole city: "Today, Ning Ze is full of witchcraft and leads the troops to invade the realm. Recruit people to break their demon laws, and the winner will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the field will be 100 acres. ”
The announcement was posted, and soon someone unveiled the list and was taken to the official office by the soldiers.
Chu Bai and Cheng Wan hurriedly met with him, and the one who unveiled the list was an old man, with a childish face and bright eyes.
Lao Dao entered the hall and made a salute, neither arrogant nor humble: "Li Tai'an of the Ten Directions View has seen two envoys! I heard that the demon is doing something, how can I sit idly by and ignore it? I am willing to break the demon law for the sake of the king!"
"Oh?" Chu Bai showed a look of surprise on his face, "Can a layman break the demon law?"
Li Tai'an has been learning the Tao from his master since he was a child, and he knows it very well in his heart. In fact, the so-called spells and demon spells are all tricks to confuse the world. The master, who has passed away for a long time, taught Li Tai'an all the methods, and over the years, he has become more and more famous, and he has many apprentices.
When I saw the announcement, I was attracted by the words "bounty of a thousand gold" and "100 acres of land", which is a lot of wealth, and with it, I can make the Shifang View bigger and bigger, and even expand to other states and counties.
As for breaking the demon law, any trick can explain it, with his decades of experience, can't he be worth the fledgling Ning Ze?
Therefore, he confidently replied: "Poor Dao has been practicing since childhood, and has been practicing the Tao for fifty-three years. Cultivating the way of justice, demons and evil will not invade. Each of the apprentices in the temple has unique skills, and any demons and evil can be eradicated!"
"But that Ning Ze once fought to break through the East Gate and defeat Zhu Shenxian, which is extraordinary!" Cheng Wan said worriedly, "Can a layman really break it?"
Li Tai'an replied confidently: "Since Poor Dao dares to come, he can break the demon law!"
"Great!" Chu Bai got up and ran to Li Tai'an, arching his hand and saying, "If the layman can break the demon law and help me defeat Ning Ze, he will definitely be treated as a guest!"
"Rest assured, there is a poor way, and no demon or evil can succeed!" Li Tai'an said, "The poor road will first go back to the Ten Directions Temple to gather all the disciples, and then come to help after some preparations." ”
After Li Tai'an returned, he gathered more than 100 disciples to come to help.
It happened that Ning Ze led his troops to attack the city, and Chu Bai and Cheng Wan immediately asked Li Tai'an to accompany him and came to the city gate.
Ning Ze stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Listen in the city! Quickly open the door and surrender, save yourself from hurting your peace! If you are alone in attacking the city, you will regret it!"
When Chu Bai heard this, he stepped forward and shouted condescendingly at Ning Ze: "Ning Ze, if you have the courage, you will attack the city!"
"Chu Envoy Jun is very angry this time, did he forget the fortress and flee for his life in embarrassment?" Ning Ze said with a smile.
"Hugh is going to be rampant!" Chu Bai said angrily, "If you have the courage to cast a demon spell again." ”
Ning Ze saw a large group of Taoist priests standing beside Chu Bai, and said in his heart that the other party really thought that he was using a demon method, and recruited Taoist priests to fight with him?
Since the other party took the initiative to ask for it, of course it was satisfied.
So he ordered: "Take out all the explosive crossbows in stock, there are not many anyway, and use them up in one go!"
The army of crossbowmen moved quickly, distributing all the explosive crossbows in stock, ready to go.
When his subordinates came over to tell him that everything was ready, Ning Ze ordered loudly: "Attack!!"
The crossbowmen marched towards the city, and as soon as they came into range, they aimed at the top of the city walls and pulled the trigger.
"Boom, boom, boom......" The crossbow arrow hit the wall, and immediately burst into flames and explosions.
Chu Bai and Cheng Wan had seen it in the fortress before, so they were mentally prepared to evacuate back in advance.
Li Tai'an and his disciples didn't know the power of the explosive crossbow, and when the explosions appeared, they were so frightened that they fled in a hurry, holding their heads and retreating in front of Chu Bai and Cheng Wan.
Seeing that this group of Taoist priests fled so quickly and did not break the demon law at all, Chu Bai's face suddenly darkened, and he said to Li Tai'an: "Why did the layman retreat? Quickly break his demon method!"
Li Tai'an replied: "This ladyboy method is extraordinary, and it cannot be defeated head-on!"
In fact, I was frightened by the explosion just now, and I was a little confused in my head, and I couldn't understand how the other party did it. This has nothing to do with the tricks I have learned before.
"This official invited the layman to come just to break the Ning Ze Demon Law!" Chu Bai said hurriedly, "The layman swears, why do you say that you can't break it now?"
Li Tai'an hurriedly replied: "It can't be broken, it's really a powerful demon law, this son is by no means simple!"
"This official has already said that Ning Ze has defeated Dongmen Di Tuo and Zhu Shenxian in a big fight, how can it be simple?" Cheng Wan frowned, "Does the layman have a strategy to break the enemy?"
Li Tai'an thought hard, and suddenly had an idea. Although there was nothing he could do about the explosive crossbow arrows, he thought of a good idea, so he said: "The two envoys must not panic, the poor road can't see through Ning Ze's demon method for the time being, but they can force it back!
"What is the plan of the layman?" There were explosions on the city wall, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties, Chu Bai and Cheng Wan were very anxious.
Li Tai'an replied: "I have a disciple named Li Shen, who is quite curious, and can make a water dragon car, which can spray water for hundreds of meters, or can retreat from the enemy!"
Chu Bai was puzzled when he heard this: "Spray water to retreat the enemy?
Cheng Wan next to him thought of something, and said to Chu Bai: "If the ground is freezing today, if you attack it with water, it can achieve miraculous results! No matter how powerful Ning Zejun is, it will inevitably freeze to death." It's just that this water dragon car can really spray water for hundreds of meters?"
"The two envoys can rest assured, don't talk to the poor road!" Li Tai'an turned his head and shouted, "All the disciples listen to the order, quickly look back, and push all the water dragon carts here!"
"Someone!" Chu Bai immediately ordered his subordinates, "Follow the laymen and carry the water dragon cart together!"
So the disciples of the Ten Directions Sect took a large group of people and quickly went to mobilize.
Chu Bai and Cheng Wan sat in the inner city, paying close attention to the fierce battle at the city gate.
Li Tai'an also accompanied them, pondering the principle of exploding the crossbow.
Ning Ze's crossbowmen team stepped forward to shoot in order, row by row, and then quickly and orderly retreated, letting the back row top, and shooting in turn without stopping.
An explosive crossbow doesn't have the power of a cannon, but it's not to be underestimated. In particular, under the intensive bombardment, cracks gradually appeared in the strong city walls, and countless defenders were blown up and killed.
After a long fierce battle, a wooden cart suddenly appeared above the city wall, and there was a thing carved into a dragon's head on the car, which was lifelike, and the dragon's mouth could be opened.
These strange dragon head wooden carts arrived at the battlefield, operated by Taoist priests one by one, and they opened their mouths one after another, and they actually sprayed a powerful column of water, shooting towards Ning Ze's army from top to bottom.
The soldiers who rushed to the front were instantly poured through, and the cold and piercing feeling was like a knife cutting through, and they cried out in pain one by one. In addition, the weather is extremely cold, as if the cold water will freeze immediately, and it is unbearable.
The range of the water column is at least four or five hundred meters, especially at high places, and the range is even longer.
The soldiers in front retreated frantically, and suddenly disrupted the formation.
Ning Ze was very surprised, where did he get this water spray truck? It sprayed so far, it was very powerful!
In fact, so far, more than a dozen soldiers have been frozen to death, and they have improved slightly after building the ice and snow city.
However, the opponent sprayed cold water, and the probability of the soldiers who were recruited in this environment was even greater to freeze to death! Because the conditions of marching and fighting were already difficult, it was very difficult to warm up the body temperature of these soldiers who were drenched in extreme cold conditions.
Although the city wall had been damaged in many places under the attack of an explosive crossbow, and the enemy had suffered heavy casualties, Ning Ze still decisively withdrew in the face of these water jets.
Quickly return to the camp, let the soldiers light a fire, and send a military doctor to first aid.
Even with such a quick response, hundreds of soldiers froze to death that night, and it was the most costly battle along the way!
This made Ning Ze a little annoyed, after all, the dead were all crossbowmen, and they were the elites trained by themselves.
I didn't expect the other party to fight with a water jet truck, under normal circumstances, this kind of thing does not have much lethality, at most it can achieve the effect of driving away. But in the bitter cold of winter, it has become a lethal weapon! In particular, water as ammunition is everywhere and is not scarce.
If you want to conquer the city, you must first destroy these water spray trucks so as not to inflict more damage on your side.
Even the invulnerable Futu Army, once sprayed with cold water, will die of hypothermia.
It seems that on a day with good weather and light wind, use a hot air balloon to throw phosphorus powder and burn these water jets!
Ning Zejun was forced to retreat, and Chu Bai and Cheng Wan were overjoyed.
Leave the audience disciples of the Ten Directions with the defenders to prevent Ning Ze from attacking again, and return to the city with Li Tai'an.
"Thanks to the laymen, the water dragon car is really powerful!" Chu Bai said excitedly.
Li Tai'an bowed slightly: "The water dragon car was originally used for irrigation in the dry season, and it was made by my unsuccessful apprentice. It was used as a field behind the Taoist temple before, and it was also an idea to think of this method. However, Ning Ze's demon method is indeed powerful, and this person's cultivation is not under the poor path!"
"Do you know how to break Ning Ze's demon law?" Chu Bai asked hurriedly.
Li Tai'an shook his head: "Although this son is young, he has never seen the demon law he casts. In order to break the method, you need to thoroughly study the witchcraft used by the other party. If you can give the poor Dao some time, you will be able to understand the mystery!"
"Layman, I'm just afraid that Ning Ze will attack the city in a hurry!" Chu Bai said, "Maybe there won't be so much time to ......."
"There is a water dragon car, you can resist it temporarily!" Li Tai'an said, "Poor Dao will come up with a way to break the demon magic as soon as possible." ”
"Layman, this official has heard that black dog blood and rooster blood can destroy evil spirits?" asked Cheng Wan.
Li Tai'an immediately replied: "The blood of the black dog and the blood of the rooster are indeed effective, but they are only aimed at ordinary evil and evil arts, and the poor Dao looks at it today, Ning Ze's demon art is extraordinary, I am afraid that these two things will not be able to bring him down!
"Who did Ning Ze learn from, and he actually had such a demon technique!" Chu Bai said with a frown.
"There are countless strange people and strange people in the world, and they are not unusual!" Li Tai'an said, "Please rest assured that the two envoys will definitely break through Ning Ze's demon arts." ”
"As long as the layman helps me to break the Ning Ze Demon Law, there will be a heavy reward!" Cheng Wan said, "When the time comes, I can go to Jiangzhou to preach!"
"Thank you Cheng Envoy!" Li Tai'an was quite happy to receive this assurance, and hurriedly thanked him.
