"How? Can I enter the city? ”

As the night deepened, Zhao Xiao stood by the riverbank, and Yuan Wujiao, who had a Zhu Fu on his head, said, "No! I tried several water veins, but the vines grew everywhere, and there was no way out. ”

"What kind of rattan is that, do you recognize?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Yuan Wujiao shook his head: "The disciple has never seen it before, that vine wood has both virtual and real, in addition to blocking the water veins, it is also absorbing the earth's vein qi, intertwined into a dense net." When the disciple tried to get closer, he felt his qi and blood floating. ”

"I found out too." Zhao Xiao looked at Dantu County in the distance, and the fire was faintly visible on the city, reflecting the light and shadow of Senran.

Looking at the scenery through Yingxuan's Jingshu, the entire Dantu county seemed to be entangled by countless vines, and the vines formed a net to protect the city's outline, making it impossible for the soldiers to enter the inner part of the palace to investigate. Yuan Wujiao tried to escape through the underground water vein, but was also blocked.

"You work harder these days, take care of the upstream and downstream waterways for me, if there are unknown soldiers, horses, monks and witches, report to me quickly." Zhao Xiao sent out an apricot yellow pill by the way.

Yuan Wujiao opened his mouth to swallow the pill, and his interest soared: "The disciple must live up to his mission!" ”

After saying this, Yuan Wujiao jumped into the river, followed by a school of fish behind him, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

As an aquarium monster, Yuan Wujiao is now a little successful in cultivation, and he can drive other aquatic creatures that do not have spiritual intelligence, which is much more majestic than in the past.

And Zhao Huang used the law to summon Yuan Wujiao, and he could also use him to control the river water, which was used to let the grain ship without oars and rescue a group of people in Dantu County.

"Now Dantu County has been shrouded in the formation of the Wuzhu cloth of the Jiuli Kingdom, and the altar soldiers, ghosts, gods and spirits are not able to enter." Zhao Xiao returned to the tent in the camp, looked around at the accompanying monks, and asked, "Do you have any other way?" ”

"We tried using a mirror to shift the scene, but the scene in the mirror was blurry." A monk from Huaiying Pavilion said: "As for the paper crane representative, it can only be visited from afar, and if it flies to the sky above Dantu County, it will immediately be knocked down by the uncertain vines." ”

"Law Mirror......" Zhao Xiao looked at Liang Hui, who was traveling with him: "Liang Daoyou, in addition to alchemy, your pavilion is also a must to make a magic mirror." I wonder if you can find out the layout of the enemy forces in the city? ”

Liang Hui's face was embarrassed: "I tried it during the day, but what I saw in the mirror was not the scene in the city, but the image of babies crying and women crying. ”

Zhao Xiao groaned: "Could it be that the formation of Jiuli Country is made of blood sacrifice for babies and women?" ”

Most of the monks present changed color, some were angry, some were disgusted, and one of the female cultivators of the Mingxia Pavilion got up angrily: "Jiuli Nan is tyrannical and unreasonable, and I also ask the Marquis of Zhenming to give an order to attack the city as soon as possible!" ”

"Ding Daoyou, don't be impatient."

Zhao Xiao looked at this woman with a beautiful appearance and eagle eyebrows, most of the other disciples of the Mingxia Pavilion had graceful skirts and light gauze shawls, this Ding Muqiu was dressed in arrow sleeves and boots, and her long hair was casually tied in a high ponytail and thrown behind her head, full of the sassy and heroic posture of a woman in the rivers and lakes, her words and deeds were in a hurry, and only a purple silk with a corset showed her femininity.

Ding Muqiu is said to be a distant relative of Ding Feiya, the first seat of Mingxia Pavilion, and his cultivation is not bad, and he is obviously regarded as the first one to be cultivated in the future. This time, Ding Shouzao brought her by the way, and before supporting General Wei, let Ding Muqiu stay in Pujia Pass to assist Zhao Huang.

In terms of experience and meritorious service, it is obvious that General Wei's front line is more suitable. It can be estimated that Ding Shouzuo knew that this disciple was impulsive and irritable and prone to bad things, so he asked Ding Muqiu to stay in Pujia Pass, and asked Zhao Huang to take more care of her before leaving.

Zhao Xiao himself is about to break his head, how can he bother to take care of such an eldest lady? Ding Shouzuo was inexplicably concerned about himself, Zhao Huang vaguely guessed the other party's intentions, and now let the younger generations of the clan come, the intention could not be more obvious.

"Marquis Zhenming, do you want to sit back and watch the people of the city die at the hands of the evil lich?" Ding Muqiu's eagle eyebrows were upside down, and he was awe-inspiring.

For some reason, Zhao Xiao felt that her facial features were somewhat familiar. Putting aside distracting thoughts, Zhao Huang Zhengse said: "Why don't I want to rescue the people in the city as soon as possible? But now the number and strength of the Wuzhu of the Jiuli Kingdom are still unclear. From the mouths of the people who fled out of the city, we learned that although the number of barbarian soldiers in Dantu County is only 3,000 at present, they are all brave and good at fighting, and they can run for more than 200 miles in a day and night. ”

Those veterans who had been in contact with Chiyun were worthy of a long war, and before fleeing from Dantu County, they had an approximate number of soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom who attacked and captured the city this time.

"At the moment we have seven or eight thousand people in our army." Captain Chen said: "And except for the prisoner soldiers, the rest are recently recruited recruits, although there are drills, but to forcibly attack the city, I am afraid there is still a shortcoming." ”

Zhao Xiao said: "I have sent a letter to the magistrates of the surrounding counties and counties to mobilize Ding Zhuang Township to come to support, and it will not be a problem to gather 10,000 soldiers and horses." Moreover, our army has built villages along the river, guarded the waterways, and the upstream grain and grass are constantly transferred, and there is no need to worry about logistics supplies. ”

Liang Hui asked: "Is Marquis Zhenming planning to besiege but not attack?" ”

Before Zhao Xiao could speak, Ding Muqiu interrupted: "How can Marquis Zhenming be so cold? If the city is besieged and not attacked, will it not be allowed to allow the evil witch barbarians to kill the people in the city? ”

"Dantu County is an important town for grain and grass transshipment, and it would be best if it could be successfully recaptured, not to mention that now our thousands of soldiers and horses are also contained here, and the troops in Pujia Pass are weak, which is a big trouble!" Zhao Xiao said:

"But at present, the city is protected by the formation, and the effect of the magic siege is greatly reduced, and it only relies on the strong attack of the soldiers, and the casualties are heavy, and it may not be successful. In fact, I would like to force the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom to take the initiative to go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with us. ”

Liang Hui shook his head slightly: "But now the enemy army clearly holds on to it, unless the mountains and rivers are exhausted, I am afraid that they will not risk breaking through." ”

Captain Chen also said: "Jiuli Kingdom's surprise attack this time, I am afraid that it is also to transfer our soldiers and horses away from Pujia Pass, if we can't recapture Dantu County as soon as possible, I am afraid that another enemy army will kill Pujia Pass." ”

Liang Hui was puzzled: "Can Jiuli really draw so many troops?" General Wei was still fighting them on the front lines. ”

Zhao Huang reminded: "Don't forget, this time there are still evil cultivators of the Corpse Sect in the Jiuli Kingdom to help, and General Wei has already fought with the corpse ** on the front line." ”

"Isn't Marquis Zhenming already prepared to deal with the walking corpse?" Ding Muqiu crossed his waist with one hand: "After all, the Corpse Accumulation Sect is a left-handed evil cultivator, and it is difficult to achieve great things." ”

"It can't be done, but it can be bad." Zhao Xiao scratched his head: "The most important thing now is to try to break the formation, so that it is good to attack the city." Even if I personally bring all my colleagues and fly into the city together to kill the commander of the enemy army, I must break the formation first. ”

Zhao Xiao felt helpless, in fact, he had already ascended the altar again today to rain down the thunder arrows, but only with the thunder of the altar soldiers, its power was still not enough to break the formation, and the thunder and fire from the sky were dissipated by the rattan net formation, and the merit was shallow.

It can only be said that after the tempering of the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, even if he is regarded as a Nantu Wuzhu who is not kingly, he has the ability to boast. Zhao Xiao's rituals and rituals are far from being able to make him run rampant.

"Captain Chen, when will the siege equipment be completed?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"Speed up the construction tonight, and it should be completed tomorrow."

Zhao Huang shook his head when he heard this, and at this time, Zhang Liwei hurriedly stepped into the account: "Tell Zhao Changshi that there are snakes and insects near the camp. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xiao showed a vigilant look, got up and said, "Lead the way!" ”

When he came to the periphery of the camp, Zhao Xiao saw more than a dozen centipedes, all of which were curled up in a group at this moment.

"We followed the instructions and carried the incense burner around the village and stumbled upon this pile of dead centipedes." Lieutenant Zhang said.

Zhao Xiao leaned over to inspect it, and those centipedes curled up were the size of a water basin, obviously not ordinary snakes and insects. The carapace on his back is very hard, and it takes some effort to cut through the sword in his hand.

"Could it be the Gu Master of the Jiuli Kingdom?" Liang Hui was shocked.

Ding Muqiu snorted coldly: "Seeing that it is difficult to break through, do you have to rely on Gu worms to poison the soldiers?" ”

"Although the Southern Earth Gu Technique is not a great avenue, it is not to be underestimated." Zhao Xiao's face was solemn: "There are big and small Gu worms, the big ones are like cattle and horses, they can carry people and animals, and the small ones drill into the seven orifices and invade the five Tibets, which is difficult to detect." The reason why I let the camp burn incense and hang talismans everywhere day and night is to prevent the pest of Gu insects. ”

Liang Hui asked, "Marquis Zhenming seems to know a lot about Gu arts?" ”

Zhao Xiao was a little embarrassed, so he had to say, "I'...... When I was a child, I met a Gu Master by chance, and I could be regarded as having suffered a loss, so I would put a lot of effort into dealing with it. ”

Lieutenant Zhang asked on the side: "What should we do with these Gu worms?" ”

Zhao Xiao took out the Qingxuan pen and made a few false strokes, which attracted raging flames, and burned more than a dozen centipedes to ashes in a blink of an eye.

"These Gu worms have been raised through secret methods, and maybe they will still hide their vitality." Zhao Xiao said: "If you touch it indiscriminately, the Gu worm will suddenly wake up and take a bite, I'm afraid it won't even be too late to run back to the camp to tell you." ”

"Having said that, Gu poison has a mediocre effect on people who have achieved cultivation." Ding Muqiu did not hide his confidence: "And Gu Master is not good at frontal fighting, if we see it on the battlefield, we have a countermeasure." ”

Zhao Xiao didn't like these words very much, and frowned: "Successful in cultivation? How many such people can there be in the camp right now? Why do other Gu masters want to fight with you and me head-on? People released Gu worms to come, the intention was to spy on the camp. ”

Ding Muqiu's lips pursed slightly, although he didn't say anything to refute it, he was obviously not convinced.

"Marquis Zhenming, although there is no shortage of food and grass in the camp now, there is not enough incense to drive away Gu worms and pestilence and evil spirits." Liang Hui reminded: "According to your instructions, burn incense around the camp every day, and if this continues, the incense will bottom out in three or five days." ”

"I understand." Zhao Xiao looked at Dantu County and made up his mind: "Tomorrow, attack the city!" ”

……

Listening to the roars coming from outside the city wall, even the earth in Dantu County was trembling slightly.

After a while, countless locusts rushed out of the clay pot like billowing black smoke, and the sound of flapping their wings was piercing and disturbing, and in a blink of an eye, they flew towards the head of the fierce battle city.

The roaring explosion outside the city wall immediately slowed down, and Miao Suluo jumped lightly to the roof, and it could be seen in the distance that there were several Huaxu monks in the air outside the city, offering magic weapons to defend against countless locusts.

Among them, the most conspicuous person was a heroic woman, with a purple silk in her hand dancing and circling, as if summoning a cloud of purple gas, light but with a fierce attack, the dense locusts approached slightly, and were immediately crushed into ashes.

"Tsk, where did the tigress come from?" Myosara's face was displeased.

Just as the flying locusts in the sky restrained a few monks, Sheroro jumped off the city wall, wrapped himself in wild boar skin on his back, and immediately turned into a strong and fierce wild boar, with a bulging back one foot high, and two snow-white fangs were sharp, and he saw him move on all fours and rushed towards the Huaxu army array.

Nowadays, the soldiers and horses of Huaxu State are attacking the city wall with various stone throwers and ballista carts, and these siege equipment is inconvenient to move once it is fixed, and there are large armies around the siege equipment.

Sherro's move was not to break through, but to take the opportunity to destroy the siege equipment, relying on the size of the almost hill and the speed of a galloping horse, not to mention the mortal body, even the city wall can knock out a hole!

Seeing this sturdy elephant-like wild boar rushing into battle, the army's formation couldn't help but gradually disperse, and no matter how brave the soldiers were, they didn't dare to face such a fierce thing.

"Presumptuous!"

There was a shout from the rear of the military formation, and then the tiger roared and gave birth to a golden wind, passing like a forest spear, and a black iron tiger of similar size swooped straight forward, colliding with the white fang wild boar fiercely.

The Divine Tiger True Form was used at the same time, and each blow was comparable to a Wanjun hammer smashing to the ground, stirring up dust and splashing everywhere. The white fang's giant pig has solid skin and strong muscles and bones, and it has already been slipped into meat paste if it were an ordinary wild boar, but he is not damaged, and he can still shake two snow-white fangs, erect the true form of the divine tiger and throw it away, almost picking it up.

At this time, the drums and flags waved behind the formation, the military formation quickly moved away, the ballistas adjusted their angles, and at the same time, several monks raised their hands to fly talismans, making the ground under the feet of the white fang giant pig suddenly turn into a swamp, and it was difficult to extract limbs.

"Put!"

With an order, the ballista shot out a ray of black light, and the true form of the divine tiger appropriately turned into the size of a tiger talisman and flew away, so that the crossbow arrow the size of a shuttle dart hit the body of the white fang giant pig.

Then the giant pig stumbled and fell into the mire, and at the same time let out a roar, and the roar was overlapped with the man's cry of pain. But the bolt made of fine iron was only nailed into a small section, and most of the rest was still dangling outside the body.

"Damn, this pig can't be beaten with iron?" The soldiers who operated the ballista were also frightened, Hua Xu Guo's ballista shot out with an arrow, enough to nail into the city wall, with the talisman arrows made by the priest of Jinding, it was already about to blast the city wall of Dantu County open. As a result, against this big wild boar, it was only a small piece of insertion?

"Take it!"

After the battle, Zhao Xiao shouted loudly, and several monks sacrificed magic weapons and spells, and a force of prohibition and sealing the town covered the white fang giant pig.

Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Shera Xiao worked hard again, and a round of totem round light bloomed in front of the formation, breaking all kinds of spells, and the crossbow arrows nailed into his body were also forced out inch by inch.

Zhao Xiao didn't give him a chance, and with a slap of the token, the spells on the altar flew wildly, turning into Dao sword light. At the same time, a snow-white figure came to the battlefield in the air, it was the heron who forgot the machine and flew on the harp, the fairy robe fluttered, and the strings played.

For a while, the piano and sword were concurrent, and the power was condensed, and the top came!
