Chapter 279: Turning the Tide
Although the sky was dark, the lights on the city wall were bright, and the fighting was fierce.
The dense number of demon-loving insects was more and more, piled higher and higher, and had already poured up the city wall, and the large array of the twelve cadres was constantly being impacted, and it had become crumbling, and many warriors had already collapsed from physical exhaustion.
King Zhennan and the others looked at the city wall in the distance, their expressions hesitant.
"Lord Wang, it seems that the great array of the Twelve Cities is about to be unable to support it!"
Hearing Yan Qing's reminder, King Zhennan frowned deeply and asked the surrounding generals what proper methods they had.
The generals looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.
Most of the generals think that Mingzhe will protect his life and retreat, even if he is questioned from above, it is said that it is a step too late, and I believe that no one will be held accountable at this time.
Of course, there are also many generals who understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, and feel that this method is not a cure for the symptoms at all.
Other generals suggested that the army should respond to relieve the pressure on the twelve cities.
Listening to the chaotic sounds around him, King Zhennan's mood was even more irritable.
"Huh!?"
Yan Qing suddenly let out a startled sigh, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
"Lord Wang, look, although the situation in the Twelve Cities is dangerous, their arrangement is not panicked at all, and it is ......."
After a pause, Yan Qing was a little unsure and said: "And their tactics are extraordinarily strange, they feel very unified, hundreds of people seem to be a whole, but the specific reason is not very clear." ”
"Huh!?"
Everyone looked over and found that as Yan Qing said, after the insect tide poured onto the city wall, although the entire city defense almost collapsed, the soldiers defending the city were able to continue to deal with it, and there were very few people who died in battle, and they were subjected to human bodies after being injured at most to ensure the operation of the war.
"That's the battle formation, the real battle formation!"
King Zhennan's expression was slightly solemn, and his eyes flashed with a ray of surprise and complexity.
The people present were all the people who led the troops, so they naturally understood it a little, and looked in the direction of the Twelve Cities again, all with a little envy and jealousy.
The way of the battle array, even other ancient countries are rare, only the three dynasties have the inheritance of the ancient battle array, so that the dynasty army is almost invincible, and it is precisely because of the sharp blade of the battle array that the rule of the three dynasties continues to this day.
No one thought that in the southwest border of Daliang, in this small place, there were still people who knew the way of battle formation.
"Since the Twelve Cities have battle formations around, they should be able to hold out, right?"
A general looked at King Zhennan's face, and his words were quite cautious, as if he was asking what King Zhennan meant.
However, another general said, "It's very difficult! With such a large-scale insect tide, even if the commander of the Twelve Cities knows the way of battle formation, I am afraid it will not be able to last. ”
"If we can also form a battle array, why not be afraid of the insect tide!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Hearing his subordinate generals take such a big breath, King Zhennan felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it, because he understood that these people were just flattering him. What's more, in fact, he is also very eager to master this battle formation in order to consolidate his power.
......
As time passed, the twilight deepened and deepened, and the wolf smoke filled the sky.
On the city wall, the long-term defense was bound to be lost, the battle array gradually showed flaws, and the casualties of the soldiers began to increase greatly.
"Still can't hold on?"
King Zhennan looked at the sky and sighed secretly, a little worried, but a little relieved.
Human nature is so complicated, the superior always hopes that his subordinates are as strong as possible, but when the power or power of his subordinates overrides him, he will feel worried, worried that his position will not be guaranteed, and that his subordinates will back.
"Oh no, the battle line of the Twelve Cities is about to collapse!"
"Once the Twelve Cities are destroyed, the entire southwestern border will probably collapse. ”
Although many people have a prejudice against the Twelve Cities, no one wants them to be destroyed, especially at this time.
"Huh!?Look!...... What's that!?"
With an exclamation, everyone looked fixedly, only to see a huge figure suddenly appear, descending from the city wall and rushing into the insect tide.
Those huge figures are like "giants", solid as a rock, regardless of the impact of the tide, they always stand still, but they fight hard in the insect court, and their combat effectiveness is super strong.
It is precisely because of the addition of those "giants" that the city defense front, which is about to collapse, has been stabilized again.
......
"That'...... What the hell is that!?"
"It is said that among the ruins of the four directions, there is a kind of puppet and war spirit puppet, although it is not life, but it is very powerful, if it is used on the battlefield, it can be a hundred enemies, and thousands of troops can be crossed...... With such a huge body, that thing must be a war spirit puppet!"
"The foundation of the Twelve Cities is really not to be underestimated, not only the great array of city protection, but also the inheritance of the battle array, even such a powerful battle spirit puppet can be used!"
Hearing the discussion of the surrounding generals, King Zhennan's face was expressionless, and his eyes were indifferent and deep.
At this time, Yan Qing seemed to think of something, and said curiously: "I have also heard of the Battle Soul Puppet, it is said that it was made by ancient masters, and no one can control it, nor can it be brought out of the four directions to return to the ruins!"
"Then ...... they"
"Can they not only bring it out, but also control it freely!?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!?"
The generals expressed their opinions, but unfortunately they knew very little and could not say why.
"Lord Wang, then we can't go on now?"
Hearing Yan Qing ask, King Zhennan said lightly: "Since the Twelve Cities still have the means, then let's wait, lest we ruin their plans." ”
King Zhennan wanted to see how strong this battle spirit puppet was.
As a superior person, he didn't want the Twelve Cities to fall, and he didn't want to see anything that could threaten him appear.
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and then nodded yes.
......
――――――――――――
At the height of the city wall, Yun Mu, Hu Lie and Qianqiu Xun and others gathered here.
They were covered in blood and panting, and such a fierce battle had already made Xuanzong feel very difficult. If it weren't for Yun Mu's timely feeling, their battle line here would probably have collapsed.
"Yunmu, it's good that you arrived in time...... By the way, what were those just now!?"
Hu Lie had a guess, but he wasn't sure for sure.
Qianqiu Xun said with a look of surprise: "Brother Yunmu, that is the battle spirit puppet brought out from the underground palace. ”
"Hmm. ”
Yun Mu nodded, a little worried between his eyebrows.
Hu Lie and the others looked at each other, a little incredulous.
Qianqiu Xun saw that Yun Mu's expression was different, and immediately asked, "Brother Yun Mu, what's wrong?"
Yun Mu shook his head bitterly and said, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, although I can awaken these battle spirit puppets, I can't control them yet." ”
"Uncontrollable!?"
"Well, I have tried repeatedly to seal the soul of the desolate beast into the puppet with secret techniques, but the desolate beast has no spiritual intelligence, and it can't be controlled at all, so it can only be let fight wildly, so these war soul puppets are a double-sided blade, if used well, it can solve the danger of the twelve cities, if it is counterattacked, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
After listening to Yun Mu's narration, everyone's enthusiasm suddenly went out.
......
