Chapter 190: Stealing the Fortress
The battle on the city wall was still fierce, and the fortifications on the central square were in full swing, but Li Rong seemed to be cut off from everything, and locked himself in his study to quietly comprehend the power of the formation.
Li Rong's focus has never been on the martial arts assessment, the top three in Jiangcheng are to fight for his father, the top three in the provincial government are to test his strength, and the state government is ...... Li Rong did not force it.
What he did on the battlefield of the formation path was not to pursue anything, but to be reminded by the word battlefield, wanting to see if he was still the king of conquest.
Until recently, Li Rong found that he was a little lost, people's livelihood is not his strong point, and he never wanted to be too involved in this regard, what he longed for was a bloody battlefield, a strong collision of blood and iron.
But obviously, the various rules of the array battlefield restricted him, and the periodic beast tide siege bound him to the fortress and was the enemy of a group of beasts, even if they were a group of powerful beasts, it was difficult to awaken Li Rong's blood, what he needed was a strong opponent, a wise opponent, and playing with the other party and fighting hard was what he wanted.
Li Rong is Li Rong after all, and he doesn't regret his decision, so he does his best to complete it.
But now, as the array diagrams flowed out of his hands, his heart became calm and clear, everything seemed to return to its original state, and the thought that he had ignored gradually occupied his mind again.
"The real battlefield should never be an immovable fortress, the land here is so vast, there are so many opponents, and it is not a hero to stick to one side!"
On the spirit board, the runes were outlined with a stroke, dragging a strong and strong tail, and the murderous atmosphere was vigorous.
"Click!"
The spirit plate was shattered, and such a powerful spiritual power injection destroyed the formation diagram at the same time, it also destroyed the spirit plate.
The spiritual power condensed on the spirit plate slowly dissipated, and the array fluctuations that originally lingered around the spirit plate gradually subsided.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Li Rong's mind, his eyes widened, and he was shocked by the vague thought that flashed just now, but just as he was about to trace his inspiration, a person knocked on the door of the study at an inopportune time.
"Marshal, the prisoner in the prison said he wanted to confess and asked to see the marshal. "The person who came was the militia guarding the prison.
Li Rong listened to the militia's message, and immediately remembered that the prisoner who wanted to confess should be the owner of the restaurant.
The restaurant owner was claustrophobic in a small space, there was no light and sound, and he couldn't bear the mental torture Li Rong thought of it early on, but he didn't expect that only one day had passed, and the restaurant owner surrendered, it seems that Li Rong really overestimated the restaurant owner's willpower.
Thinking that his fleeting thoughts just now were destroyed by the restaurant owner, the anger in Li Rong's heart suddenly came up.
He opened the door with a blank face and said to the militia: "Ignore him, lock him up for two more days!"
Closing the door again, Li Rong could no longer capture the state just now, and in his frustration, he continued to carve the formation diagram to prepare for the next step of the defense tower.
The defense tower was Li Rong's recent idea, and after receiving a positive reply from the sappers after researching, Li Rong firmly established the idea of building a defense tower.
First of all, the defense tower relies on the power of the formation, the stronger the formation, the stronger the lethality and defense, and the power far exceeds that of the martial artists of the Tongmai realm;
Secondly, the defense tower is protected by a fortress and is difficult to be attacked directly, so it can be used for a long time;
Last but not least, there aren't many people needed to control the tower, as long as you have a few sappers and militia left, the tower will work well.
Li Rong wanted to go on an expedition, and this idea has not changed from the beginning to the present, but because of the periodic beast tide and other factors, he was dragged in the fortress for two months, and he was entangled in a bunch of trivial things, which made him very helpless.
However, now that Li Rong has sacrificed the two major killing weapons, the Monument and the Pillar of Shame, when this battle is over, no one in the fortress will dare to challenge his majesty for a long time, and he will save a lot of trouble.
Of course, it is not enough to solve internal affairs, the periodic beast tide is still a problem, and it is impossible for Li Rong to go out with a large army to expand the territory and at the same time take into account the monthly beast tide.
Basically, he didn't do anything for a month, so he took the team around with him.
Therefore, Li Rong insisted on building a defense tower, so that after the large army left the fortress, Zhang Kaiyu and the others could still resist the beast tide with their limited strength and defense towers.
The core of the construction of the defense tower is the formation map, and there are many, many formations, especially the demand for the spirit gathering array is very large, because there is no spirit stone to replenish the energy, the formation tower cannot exert its combat effectiveness, so it can only be made up by the spirit gathering array.
Li Rong couldn't complete the large-scale Spirit Gathering Array yet, it was not an enlarged version of the primary Spirit Gathering Array, but a comprehensive formation diagram that added hundreds of formations and fused several new formations, and it was impossible to complete it without reaching the intermediate formation diagram, so Li Rong could only use the quantity to pile up.
When Li Rong was busy carving the formation map, there was also a fierce battle not far from the fortress, the two sides of the battle were more than 2,000 stragglers, and the four candidates found a good terrain in the Gobi, with the help of the geographical advantage, they once again resisted the attack of the beast tide.
It's just that the high-intensity fighting has caused heavy casualties among their men, coupled with the shortage of food and medicine, even if they can survive this time, it is impossible for them to hold out until the third beast tide comes.
"We can't do this anymore, we have to find a way to get food and medicine. One said.
"The question is, how do we do it? We don't have a base, we can't produce food, we can only rely on hunting, but how much can we hunt, is it enough for 2,000 people?" said another.
"Actually, it's not completely impossible, I've read the rules of the Array Battlefield carefully, and you can get the demand through the means of looting. ”
"We know this, but the question is still the same, where are we going to rob others?"
"In fact, there are so many of us, we can storm the next village or village, so as to get the materials we need, and even use this as a base to better prevent the beast tide. ”
"Don't be kidding, any stockade has three thousand troops, and their cultivation is higher than our soldiers, how can it be attacked?"
"That's not necessarily, after two beast tides, their losses must be heavier than ours, after all, we can escape, they can only die, the casualties must be heavy, and the material consumption is not enough to rely on those few farmers at all, so their situation will not be much better than ours. ”
"Really, then let's go find a small base to fight down, and save us from sleeping in the open every day, it's too tiring. "Someone is moving.
Among the four, one of them was the taller, and the other three reached an agreement and looked at the tall man in unison.
The tall man pondered for a while, and said, "You have a point, it's time for us to build a base, but the village and the village are too small, and the property is limited, even if it is defeated, it is not too valuable, and our goal should be higher." ”
"Higher? Do you want to fight the city? But the city is difficult to fight, not to mention, and the initial 7,000 troops, we people are not enough to see. One said.
The tall man smiled and said, "Who said that you are going to fight the city?"
"That's?"
"Hit the fortress!" the tall man shouted. (To be continued.) )
