Chapter 238: The Sword Goes Sideways
Li Mingyang's method of attacking the occupied point made Guo Yunshan and them quite puzzled, although most of the Shu troops left behind in the Central Plains were not elite enough, but the Central Plains monks were Central Plains monks, not that they could directly summon thousands of real ghost armies to fight against them, the battle outside Phoenix City made them completely understand this truth, at that time, under the charge of the Shu army, Li Mingyang's real ghost army was cut layer by layer like a paper paste.
Although there are Xiliang monks by his side to attack the stronghold this time, the weakness of the real ghost is indeed not something that can be made up for in a day or two, but seeing that Li Mingyang seems to be extremely interested, Guo Yunshan and they can only accompany Li Mingyang to exterminate several small Hundred Ghost Villages around.
Everyone was quite puzzled by Li Mingyang's move, not only Guo Yunshan and them, but also Brother Xiliang was actually even more puzzled now, in fact, although these surrounding Hundred Ghost Villages occasionally made them feel a little headache, but the real ghosts in Hundred Ghost Village were not often dispatched, and Monk Xiliang was too lazy to deal with them. The most important thing is that the extermination of the Hundred Ghost Village is actually quite dangerous for low-level monks, because the power of Xuanyin on the real ghosts is extremely corrosive to the monks, and even after defeating, they will leave very incurable injuries.
But this time, they followed Li Mingyang to exterminate the Hundred Ghost Village, but these Xiliang monks were all eye-opening, including Hao Jingfei, who was cut off by Li Mingyang, and they all gave up the idea of revenge.
These guys who looked stupid before turned out to be extremely violent.
Led by Li Mingyang, the power of the battle formation they formed was simply incomprehensible, in their opinion, it seemed that even if the six of them faced a thousand people alone, it was possible to win, this is not an exaggeration, for these Xiliang monks who had been in battle for a long time, Li Mingyang's combat power of the six of them had indeed shown such a height.
Up to now, although I haven't seen Li Mingyang's ability to command troops, just looking at their terrifying combat power is enough to completely impress Monk Xiliang.
It's just that Li Mingyang is not the only thing to do, and he won't be bored enough to demonstrate to everyone by exterminating the Hundred Ghost Village, his purpose is just to summon an army of real ghosts. After advancing to the second level of the Void Spirit Realm, the number of true ghosts he could control now reached six thousand, but if they exterminated the few small Hundred Ghost Villages around him, he could only summon a little more than four thousand true ghosts. Li Mingyang is not very satisfied with such a harvest, but it can only be so.
When they arrived at the stronghold, all the Xiliang monks had been completely convinced of Li Mingyang, but at the same time, they were also taboo about Li Mingyang, and they all kept a long distance from him as if they were looking at a demon.
The reason why this is the case is not only because Li Mingyang and they have shown strong combat power in the past few days, but most importantly, because of the black pressure behind Li Mingyang.
The army of more than 4,000 true ghosts, whether in terms of momentum or overall combat power, cannot be compared with the 5,000 Xiliang army, and even if it starts a direct war, the Xiliang army will definitely win. But having said that, that's not the case.
When it comes to fighting with real ghosts, not to mention the Central Plains monks, even the southern monks are very familiar with them, but seeing so many real ghosts by their side, a normal person will feel his scalp tingle. And the most feared thing is not these real ghosts, but Li Mingyang, who caused this qiΔ. Now these Xiliang monks are even worried that Li Mingyang will be unhappy and turn them into real ghosts, Hao Jingfei, who originally wanted to take revenge, completely dispelled this idea after seeing Li Mingyang's method.
It was no wonder that the Earl would be so relieved to hand over a team of five thousand men to him, with this shocking means and the super combat power of their six-man combination, he was definitely qualified to command five thousand people.
"How are you going to fight?" everyone was ready to go, and Guo Yunshan asked.
Li Mingyang: They can be said to be extremely bold this time, so bold that the Xiliang army behind him was a little frightened, they actually appeared directly three miles outside the stronghold, and some of the small officers in the team who were well cultivated could even see the appearance of some Shu troops in the stronghold.
Generally speaking, making such a formation is planning to attack the city directly, but before that, Li Mingyang didn't say even a little bit about the plan to attack the city, and everyone followed him here almost in confusion. If he hadn't seen the Shu army in the stronghold and was about to make a move, Guo Yunshan would not have started to ask in a hurry.
Li Mingyang didn't seem to hear Guo Yunshan's words, and observed this stronghold very seriously, to be precise, he was observing the magic circle outside this stronghold. After observing for a long time, he nodded slowly, as if he had determined something, before he looked at Guo Yunshan and said, "Sure enough, it is a fourth-level Qingyang Array." β
Guo Yunshan was strange for a while: "Yes, didn't you tell you before you set off, we also investigated after departure, what's wrong?"
"It's good that it's the Qingyang Array. Li Mingyang said: "This is how to break the formation." β
Hearing Li Mingyang's words, Guo Yunshan's brows furrowed deeply, and he said very seriously: "This formation, it's not easy to break, although the Qingyang Array is not suitable for arranging into a large array, but this array is level four after all, if you want to break it, you can only do it, but if there are too many dead people......"
Guo Yunshan's words were not finished, but Li Mingyang understood that if there were too many dead, it would be impossible to win even if the formation was broken, but he did not show any panic. In fact, in fact, Li Mingyang was really surprised for a while after learning that the stronghold occupied by the Shu army was amazingly arranged in the Qingyang Array. The Qingyang Array is the Zhiyang Array, and it is the best auxiliary array for alchemy and refining, because it has excellent stability and can protect the flame of alchemy or refining well.
However, if the Qingyang Array is enlarged and arranged into a large protective array, it will look a little nondescript, and although the fourth-level Qingyang Array enlarged in this way is full of defensive power, it has many small flaws, because it is not a traditional defensive array after all, and it has been forcibly opened, and many of the eyes of the formation have not been covered very well.
However, the Shu army is not unaware of this, they instead use the shortcomings of the Qingyang array as an advantage, they show the shortcomings of the magic array, and wait for others to break the formation, but if they want to break through those formations, they also need to pay at least thousands of lives, so Guo Yunshan will be very resistant to breaking the formation before, although the Xiliang army is not their people, but this time they are on a front after all, if they pay thousands or more lives just to break the formation, it is basically impossible to win if they want to fight againγ
The reason why Li Hong has always been reluctant to move this stronghold is also because of this reason, if he really makes a bloody effort, it is not impossible to defeat it, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it will cost thousands of lives, and for an earl, it is natural that he will not be stupid enough to pay such a heavy price for a stronghold that cannot be occupied forever.
This time, he bet on Li Mingyang, not so much to believe in Li Mingyang's ability, but to see if Li Mingyang could create some miracles like he did in the south.
Obviously, although Li Mingyang didn't intend to create any miracle, it seems that this time he is still going to make some shocking formations. But there is no way, if you don't do this, there is really no hope that you can capture a stronghold held by 12,000 Shu troops with only 5,000 people.
The Shu army in the stronghold is now all frightened, although they are numerous and occupy a favorable location, but after seeing the black and overwhelming real ghost army in the opposite lineup, all the Shu troops are not relaxed.
"What the hell are all that?"
"Ghost ......"
The answer was very simple, and everyone could see that it was a ghost, but what they didn't understand was why there were real ghosts gathered here in the stronghold. Could it be a real ghost chaotic city? I haven't heard that the real ghost chaotic city will be set up before, and it is impossible to mess with other monk cities with human monks.
It is precisely because of this that now the Xiliang army does not dare to move, and the Shu army also does not dare to act rashly, for fear that this is some conspiracy and trick made by the Xiliang army. However, after seeing a handsome-looking young man outside the stronghold begin to command the real ghosts scattered around the stronghold, the Shu army became even more nervous and ready to go to war at any time.
In the mountains and forests not far away, a sentry of the Void Spirit Realm cultivator cautiously approached another team, this team did not raise a flag, but looking at the spirit armor system, they knew that it was Xiliang monks, but these Xiliang monks did not join Li Mingyang and them, but chose to wait and see from afar.
After the sentry told him what he had seen and heard, the Xiliang general led by him frowned suspiciously: "How is this kid planning to attack the city?" and then asked, "What are they doing now?"
"When the subordinates left, they saw that they had already set up a formation, but it was just the real ghosts who started to act, and our people still did not move, probably planning to attack the city. "Ethereal Spirit Realm Detective 1510.
The general thought for a while, and then ordered a few generals whose cultivation was above the Void Spirit Realm to follow him: "Let's go, let's go and see how the people we have chosen for the earl are." β
Tang Jiaxing can be regarded as Li Hong's real cronies, this time he is secretly supported by Li Hong's order, there is no specific task, he only needs to act at the opportunity, but from the task, he can see that although the earl is not completely relieved, he is still very confident in this Li Mingyang, otherwise his task will never be just a wait-and-see opportunity, but to attack the stronghold with his troops.
Just thinking about what Li Mingyang had done along the way, Tang Jiaxing couldn't help but turn around and instructed a general: "Go back and let them be ready to attack at any time, no matter how you say it, those people are all our Xiliang monks, if that kid really can't do it, we can't watch our own people being slaughtered." β
