Eight interlocking stone artillery carts lined up and slowly pushed forward, and in front of them were the magicians who were steadily clearing the trenches and traps, and the soldiers and masters cooperated with them.

A dull sound sounded, and the mudflow within a radius of three zhang surged, forming a huge whirlpool of ground depression, like a mudslide, and in an instant, more than thirty soldiers and masters were annihilated in the mud amid screams and screams, and finally returned to calm.

Fortunately, the stone artillery carts are still some distance away from the ground trap, otherwise if two or three stone artillery carts are also attracted to go first, it will be a big loss.

Ganquan's face was a little ugly, and on the measuring ruler in his hand, the jade-colored brilliance flickered, which was a change brought about by the induction of the magic breath, but it was a little late.

There are still some talents in Caizhou's spells, Ganquan waved his hand a little unwillingly, but his eyes were a little more vigilant.

At least the design of this compound spell array was extremely exquisite, and he paralyzed himself, thinking that if he dismantled the first fire trap, everything would be fine, but he didn't expect that there was a land trap hidden behind it, and when it was suddenly launched, even Gan Quan and several other magicians could not make a counter.

Or even if he reacted, he couldn't reverse the situation, and Cai Zhoujun definitely used special earth-based materials such as soul stones in this earth-based land trap formation, so that he could hide his feelings and trigger them quietly.

Soul stones are not so easy to find, this kind of earth-based magic material is mostly hidden in the qi vein dark caves of the mountains, to find this kind of thing not only requires a special magic prospector, but also extremely difficult and expensive to mine.

After mining, it can't be used yet, and it needs to be further purified and refined with spells, and the final soul stones can be combined with the spell array to launch such a large earth trap array.

Ganquan judged that there would not be too many soul stones on the other side, even in Xuzhou, the number of such soul stones was only a few pieces, and it was probably less than ten to be able to produce a large-scale subsidence of this scale, and with Caizhou's strength, at most two or three would be at most.

However, this sudden subsidence is not a small blow to morale, and no one wants to walk and suddenly fall underground, and people will be swallowed up before they even have time to shout, which is also too terrifying.

Although the non-commissioned officers resumed their advance under the pressure of the officer's bullets and orders, there was no doubt that the pace slowed down.

Ganquan knew that if he didn't do something, the army and his master would advance more slowly.

The light band on the measuring ruler continued to fluctuate and change, and Ganquan's mana was also increased to the extreme, relying on the sensing of the measuring ruler, looking for anything suspicious as much as possible.

This line is the main line that directly approaches the east gate of Song City, and the three trenches, coupled with the undulating hillsides and hills, as well as the deliberate destruction of the terrain, provide excellent cover for the installation of various traps and magic arrays.

However, whether it is a spell trap or a spell array, it is inseparable from the spell medium and spell material, as long as there is a spell medium and spell material, then the spell master can use his own induction to find and dispose of it.

Special instruments such as the measuring ruler can help the magicians' sensing ability become more sensitive, and the detection range is larger, as long as the target can be found, it can be cracked and destroyed in a targeted manner.

Ganquan went into battle in person this time, and his mana was also urged to the limit, and soon the induction from the measuring ruler made him find that a hillside fifty steps away on the left had a magical aura emanating from it.

The half-man-high hillside, the blades of grass, and the untouched earth did not seem to be too suspicious, but Ganquan could tell with certainty that there was a strong fiery aura hidden under the mound, enough to cover the ground within ten zhang.

Gan Quan's face was a little heavy, and there were flames within ten zhang, this was a typical fire magic array, but I didn't know what medium Caizhou used to trigger it.

If you let the magicians get close to investigate, Ganquan is worried that he will be attacked by the enemy's magic tools, and the magicians under his hands are not as good as ordinary soldiers, and they will really lose a few, and they will also make their flesh hurt, but if they let the soldiers check it, they are afraid that such a large area, they don't understand, they may not be able to find out anything, and it will also greatly delay time.

Dilemma, Ganquan also felt a headache.

Zhuang Yongji has been following behind Ganquan, as a military commander, in fact, he should have been in command, but Ganquan's identity is extraordinary, he himself went to the front line to investigate the situation, and he Zhuang Yongji has no reason not to follow.

Since the elder brother was transferred to the martial arts academy as a teacher, this army was handed over to Zhuang Yongji.

It has become a common practice to serve as a teacher in the Wubei Academy for a year and a half before being appointed as the deputy governor of the town army, which is not easy to cross.

Even his brother said that he needed a period of self-precipitation and polishing, otherwise he would not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility, and went to the martial arts academy to serve as a teacher in name, but in fact it was more important to learn and exchange and martial arts practice.

The elder brother's martial arts strength entered the bottleneck after crossing from the Tai Xi period to the fixed interest period, and the elder brother also knew that this step was not so simple, so he simply left the army and took the initiative to apply to study in the martial arts academy, ready to spend two to three years to improve himself.

At first, the Privy Council did not agree, but the elder brother insisted on the letter, and in the end, the king of the county made a decision and agreed to the elder brother's request.

According to the unwritten regulations of the Xuzhou Grand Governor's Office, if the martial arts level has not stepped into the small heavenly position, it is not allowed to hold the position of the governor and deputy governor of the town army, even if it is temporary, it must be adjusted in the future.

Probably the only exception now is probably the Huaiyou Army, but it is said that after looking for a battle here, Xu Ziqing and Zhang Ting will also resign and go to the martial arts academy to improve themselves.

If his brother wants to take another step, he must cross this step, so his brother would rather abandon the army and seek a breakthrough.

Throwing away those distracting thoughts, Zhuang Yongji approached Ganquan, "Lord Gan, do you need some help?"

Gan Quan shook his head, but nodded again: "Lord Zhuang can arrange a few people to follow a certain person to take another thirty steps forward, and a certain person must determine something." ”

Zhuang Yongji's heart moved, "I'm afraid not, the governor has an order, Lord Gan must not go any further, the enemy will have sniper archers in ambush." ”

The greatest weakness of sorcerers is their weak protection, they can trigger spell defense, but it takes time, and they are the most difficult to defend against sudden attacks.

"With Lord Zhuang by his side, is it also dangerous? I must go and check it immediately, otherwise it will delay time and delay the fighter. ”

Gan Quan shook his head, he didn't think that the enemy would arrange snipers in such a strong area with such a strong fire aura, that would be almost death, a little trigger of the fire magic circle or trap, the surrounding area would be turned into a sea of fire, and no one would survive.

Zhuang Yongji hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

He ordered his own soldiers to join him in covering Ganquan's advance.

He Meng held his breath and lay in ambush in the mud, the dirt on his body had fixed him here for ten hours.

The layer of dirt on his body was about two villages, and the grass in front of his eyes and nose that just happened to be exposed was covered by grass, so that He Meng could clearly observe the front.

Before he came, He Meng knew that this would be a life of death, and according to the order, he needed to stay here until he sniped the object worthy of sniping, which was up to him.

If there is no suitable sniper target, then he can only wait here until the magic circle next to him is triggered, and then he can take the opportunity to evacuate here.

The target finally appeared, He Meng didn't know who the other party was, but it could be seen from the soldiers who were surrounded and cautiously vigilant, and this person did not wear armor like ordinary generals, but similar to the plain clothes of a Taoist priest, there is no doubt that this should be a magician.

For He Meng, he wasn't sure of the rank of this magician, but it was an opportunity anyway.

There is not much time, and he has to start, He Meng observed the line of his retreat, considering the path opened up by the spell talisman for himself, he opened his body slightly, and slowly raised his already stiff arm, and the special spell box crossbow was wrapped in dirt and blades of grass, revealing only a swarthy orifice, and began to aim.

Zhuang Yongji is not tall, he slowly turned his head, his eyes roamed around, and the wings of his nose twitched, trying to find a potential threat in this way.

This place is too close to the enemy's first line of trenches, the enemy can even easily set up an ambush in advance, and the level of Caizhou's magic is not low, it is not difficult to lay such an ambush, and after some magic interference, it is not easy to find.

An extremely uncomfortable induction From the side, Zhuang Yongji glanced in that direction silently and did not find anything abnormal.

Ganquan didn't react at all, he didn't have any sense of the threat from the martial artists, and at this time he was carefully probing the mystery of the place where the fiery aura was strong.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely complex spell array, and the place filled with the fire aura is only an array eye, and Ganquan even felt the fire aura spreading outward in a radial shape, which means that the scale of this spell array is comparable, even more than a hundred steps away, the enemy is using some kind of special shelter to cover the extended fire breath, but the fire spell medium stored in the array eye is too large, the number is too large, and the breath is too strong, so it is difficult to cover up and be detected by himself.

Maybe the other party didn't expect that he would personally set foot on the front line, and even arrived at the front line of the confrontation between the two sides, in their opinion, the magician should hide behind the army and be protected by the army.

Zhuang Yongji sensed the crisis, which was an intuitive feeling accumulated in a hundred battles.

Taking a step forward, Zhuang Yongji wanted to cover Ganquan's body, the bronze infantry round shield in his hand was already diagonally carried around his waist and abdomen, and the muscles of his whole body were tense, waiting for a certain possibility to happen.
