Compared with the Arctic City, the night sky of Shanhaiguan is much brighter, the moonlight is bright, spreading over the plains for thousands of miles, the night wind is miserable, and the iron and blood are chaotic.

Beitang Ao stood at the head of the city and looked at the camp opposite without saying a word, and when he was silently distracted, Cai Wenyong walked over and stood side by side with him, looked at the camp opposite, and said lightly: "The general is worried about those super-large catapults of Ling Huazong?" ”

Beitang Ao nodded, hummed lightly, and said, "Ling Hua Sect can take it out, it's definitely not a decoration, but their siege today is useless, what do you think is the mystery in this?" ”

Cai Wenyong thought for a long time, and said: "Today, I look at their formation, 850 ordinary catapults, 500 large catapults, and 150 super-large catapults, it can be seen that this kind of super-large catapult is not easy to make, correspondingly, its rune stones must not be easy to make, and we can also draw such a conclusion, that is, their stock of this kind of rune stone must not be much, and they can't afford to waste it, and they can also prove this from their performance today!" ”

Beitang nodded proudly and said, "You have observed quite carefully, Shangyuan Sect has you leading the troops, and it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with those other sect forces." ”

For this appreciation, Cai Wenyong just smiled, and then continued to speak: "General, there is something unclear about the last general, that is, since they have such a weapon, why don't they hide it first, and then give us a sudden blow when the time is ripe, it will definitely catch us off guard, but they showed it in advance, so that we can be on guard, this Fang Lin should not make such a stupid mistake." ”

Beitang laughed arrogantly and said: "Very good, you are really good, you can still see this, well, Fang Lin, of course he will not be so stupid, what you said just now is indeed a method, but Fang Lin knows the strength of the empire's intelligence force, this kind of catapult was captured by them in the battle between the Earth Mine Pass and the Dugu tribe, hey, that Yin Yunxi is really a powerful character, he couldn't beat Dugu Tianming, and he didn't even have time to destroy these important war materials when he retreated." ”

"And we have already obtained such information, so if we want to use this to catch us off guard, it will be a bit fantastical, Fang Lin must have expected this, so he simply no longer hid, but directly showed it to us, so that it can have a pretty good deterrent effect, every attack, we must divide a part of the force to prevent his super-large catapult, so that we can't go all out, second, that is, waiting for the opportunity, Waiting for the moment that will give us the fatal blow. ”

Cai Wenyong thought for a while when he heard this, and said, "If this is the case, the general should not have to be so worried." ”

Beitang Aoyan laughed again when he heard this, and said: "Your observation is really admirable, indeed, what worries me even more is that according to the information we have obtained, the catapults that Ling Huazong captured on the battlefield should only be fifty, but now there are one hundred and fifty, what does this mean, hehe, it shows that Ling Huazong already has the ability to produce this kind of catapult, so how many have they produced?" Is it really just a hundred, and are there many more that they have hidden, deliberately revealing such a little to paralyze us, just waiting for the time to come and give us a fatal blow? ”

Cai Wenyong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Fang Lin, it's really full of tricks, I'm afraid this is the third purpose for him to show these catapults." ”

In the next five days, the Linghua Army used conventional offensive methods, and the Yeyue Army's defense was also leaky, so to speak, these offensive and defensive sides had no other achievements at all except for wasting some resources, which made some of the soldiers of the Linghua Army a little suspicious and unconfident.

In the tent, Fang Lin looked at the generals and said: "This sect knows that you are a little anxious, thinking that it is impossible for us to take Shanhaiguan, because their follow-up 200,000 reinforcements have arrived, and another 500,000 reinforcements are being assembled. ”

"However, I want to tell you, you are all high-ranking generals of the army, if your vision is the same as those soldiers, it will really disappoint this sect, we are facing the Yeyue Empire, not those small countries and small ties in the past, their resources are not worse than ours, and even surpass, and they are not something we can consume in a short time, so we must be patient and wait for the faint moment when their resources are docked, do you understand?"

When all the generals heard this, they all roared in unison: "Understood! ”

Fang Lin continued: "Although their number is large, they are not the regular training troops of the empire, but the people of various forces who are forcibly transferred, which also leads to the uneven quality of their troops, and the people of these forces have not undergone long-term military training, so they will inevitably have a lot of flaws in combat, again, because they are from different forces, then they must not be united, everyone must pay attention to this, it is very likely that we are the most important factor in defeating the enemy's army, it depends on how we use it!" ”

Seeing that all the generals nodded in understanding, Fang Lin smiled faintly and said: "Next, everyone pay attention to appeasing the hearts of the army, so that the soldiers don't worry, the Shanhai Pass will be broken, and our army will win!" ”

••••••

On the artificial lake in the courtyard of Beitang's house, Beitang Yulin sat on the double stone chair early, his posture was a little lazy, but his eyes were very deep, and he didn't know what was going on in his head.

After a while, a shadow in a goose yellow dress came behind him lightly, patted his right shoulder playfully, and then flashed to the left quickly, the corner of Beitang Yulin's mouth hooked, and the brick looked to the right, but no one was found, and he deliberately pretended to be surprised.

There was a giggling smile from the left, Shan Huanting walked out in style, sat down beside him, his eyes were full of emotion, Beitang Yulin stretched out his hand and scratched his head, smiled, and said a little stupidly: "Scared me." ”

"Hehe, the son of the dignified Beitang family, why was he frightened by such a small movement, and said, were you thinking about a woman just now?" Shan Huanting said with a smile.

Beitang Yulin smiled and said, "Yes, just now I was thinking about a woman who looks like a fairy and is as gentle as water." ”

When Shan Huanting heard this, the smile on her face instantly converged, and the thick disappointment was clearly painted on her face, and she said a sour "oh" in a sour tone, and then sat there, bowing her head and saying nothing.

Seeing her like this, Beitang Yulin laughed and said: "That woman usually likes to wear goose-yellow dresses the most, although she is neglected, but it can't hide her peerless beauty, the starlight under the night sky looks dull in front of her jewel-like eyes, and the scenery of the artificial lake can't compare to the smile she unintentionally revealed." ”

When Shan Huanting heard this, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and the deer in her heart bumped around, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, raised her head, looked at the man in front of her, and there was nothing else in her eyes.

Next, Beitang Yulin began to talk endlessly about his thoughts and thoughts in the past few days, as well as all kinds of interesting anecdotes, and naturally there was no shortage of cold and warmth, all of which sounded like heaven to Shan Huanting, and she was fascinated.

The two of them didn't know how long it had been since they talked to each other, and Beitang Yulin suddenly asked, "Second Uncle, he hasn't bullied you these days, right?" ”

Shan Wanting shook her head and said, "Cut, he doesn't know where he died these days, and he hasn't even seen a shadow, hey, forget it, let's not talk about him, okay." ”

Beitang Yulin sighed and said, "Hey, I don't know what's going on these days, our Arctic City area is a little unsafe, just yesterday, when I returned, I actually met an unknown person on the road to intercept and kill." ”

"What!" Shan Wanting screamed in surprise, her eyes were panicked, and she immediately took Beitang Yulin's hand and asked, "How are you, are you not injured, have you found a doctor to see, this must not be sloppy." ”

Seeing her panicked and anxious look, Beitang Yulin smiled slightly, held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have guards, and it's not so easy for those people to kill me." ”

After saying that, but the hand she was holding did not let go, Shan Huanting was relieved when she heard this, but then she realized that her hand was held by the other party, and suddenly her face was hot, and she hurriedly wanted to withdraw her hand, but the other party's strength was very great, and she symbolically pumped twice without success, so she followed the other party, but at this time, she lowered her head, did not dare to look at the other party again, and did not dare to speak.

Beitang Yulin is a veteran of the love field, naturally knows what to do now, Shan Huanting quickly fell under his offensive, and gradually lay in his arms, at this time the lakeside was silent, the two of them snuggled tightly, and gradually integrated into the night.

Beitang Xun is one of the sons of the Beitang family, although he has good ability, but his character is not very good, he likes to linger in the land of fireworks, he knows that although he is the identity of the prince, but it is absolutely impossible to become the head of the family, so he became one of Beitangyao's supporters.

In a teahouse opposite Cuiyan Building, several figures shrouded in black robes were sitting at a table, and a soundproofing ban shrouded them, one of them said: "Shizi, we have investigated clearly, that Beitangxun is in the Cuiyan Building opposite, and he is already a little drunk at the moment, and it seems that tonight I am afraid that I will spend the night in the Oiran room called Yujuan." ”

"Well, old man, you're doing well, but what about his guards?" Bei Tangli's voice came from a hood.

The former elder said: "Don't worry, the old man has already led people to keep an eye on them, just wait for the time to come, none of these guards will be able to escape!" ”

Bei Tangli nodded with satisfaction and said, "Formation Elder, have all the formations around here been arranged?" ”

A black hood nodded, but did not speak, Bei Tangli didn't care about it, glanced at the Cuiyan Building opposite, and said: "I didn't expect that this Bei Tangyao was really very careful, I thought he would attack the Fan family yesterday, hehe, but it turned out that he didn't go, hey, our plan has failed." ”

"The prince doesn't have to be discouraged, Beitang Yao is not a stupid person after all, and the twelve zodiac signs under him are not simple characters, if he is fooled so easily, there is no need to spend so much effort on him to deal with him." Another voice under the hood said.

Bei Tangli nodded and said, "Elder Zhe is right, if he Bei Tangyao was so easy to be fooled, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, if we want to really defeat him, we have to take it step by step, anyway, he has to die!" ”

Time passed slowly, midnight came, but the Cuiyan Building was still bustling, but Bei Tangxun was holding a bewitching woman in his arms, laughing and saying goodbye to his fox friends and dogs, and then the two stumbled towards a luxuriously furnished room.

The moment the door closed, the two rolled together on the thick carpet, and the sound of lewd laughter and laughter were intertwined, interpreting the essence of the wild bee and butterfly, and even the slight click of the window was not heard.

Just when the two of them were full of passion, a light cough woke them up, and the woman screamed, hurriedly pulled up her messy clothes, quickly moved to the corner of the wall, shrunk into a ball, and trembled.

Beitangxun looked at the black-clothed man in front of him angrily, and shouted: "Who are you, do you know who this son is, get out of here, this son can act as if nothing happened, otherwise, no matter who you are, you will be endlessly hunted down by the Beitang family!" ”

The man in black let out an old chuckle and said, "Hehe, death is on the verge of death, and you still use the answer to scare people, but this is useless for the old man, Beitang Xunshizi, you are ready to go to Huangquan, blame you for not following the right person!" ”

When Bei Tang Xun heard this, a look of fear instantly flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "You are the people of Bei Tang Li!" ”

However, the man in black didn't say anything, and directly stabbed at him with a sword, Bei Tangxun was shocked when he saw this, and said in his heart: "Reincarnation Realm powerhouse, Bei Tangli really won't stop if he doesn't kill me, hum!" ”

He didn't mean to carry it head-on with this person, the brilliance flashed, a spell appeared in his hand, the true yuan was poured in, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place, and the next second, it appeared a zhang away, seeing this situation, Beitangxun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that this room was too small, his small transfer charm could move out of the distance of three zhang.

But now is not the time to think about those, at the moment of appearance, Bei Tangxun had an extra black thunder in his hand, and when the man in black saw this, his pupils shrank, this is something that can threaten him, don't dare to be careless, just the moment Bei Tangxun threw out the thunder, his figure flashed rapidly, and at the same time, his own protection was raised to the highest.

Boom, a shocking explosion, the entire room was blown to pieces, and the figure of the man in black also flew upside down, bounced back from a wall of light, and coughed violently a few times, but the image was not injured.

However, there was such a big movement, but the people outside did not react in the slightest, Bei Tangxun's heart suddenly cooled, and a sentence was squeezed out from between his teeth: "You are ruthless enough, in order to kill me, you actually carefully arranged the formation, if I guessed correctly, you should be the 'array' in the nine-character mantra." ”

The man in black just smiled, didn't speak, and directly bullied him, and stabbed him in the head with a sword, that sword can be described as the pinnacle of the reincarnation realm to return to the void powerhouse, it is not at all what Bei Tangxun, a guy in the helpless realm, can react, the next moment, he heard a snort of a sharp weapon into the flesh, the long sword pierced into Bei Tangxun's eyebrows, and then the red and white things were sprinkled on the ground, after a few breaths, his hand was released, and a small silver ball rolled out of it, the man in black glanced at it, and said coldly: "Rainstorm pear blossom, Hehe, if you want to pull the old man to accompany the funeral, you are not qualified enough! ”

With that, he turned and left, leaving only the woman who was still curled up in the corner, but no one noticed the strange smile on her face.

••••••

Under the Shanhai Pass, thousands of rune stones smashed into the city wall that didn't look very majestic like a torrential rain, however, the commanders of the Yeyue Army roared and commanded the army to set up a rune array to block those rune stones, after nearly half a month of fighting, these Yeyue Army, who had not experienced long-term training and battle baptism, had already produced a mood of slackness and contempt, although there were no mistakes for the time being, but it was precisely like this, which made them underestimate the attack of the Linghua Army more and more.

Fang Lin looked at the changes in the Yeyue Army's defense, keenly grasped the key to it, and quietly ordered the super-large catapult to prepare and attack at any time, Beitang Ao and Cai Wenyong and the others at the head of the city did not notice the slightest change in Ling Huajun, or rather, their attention was not on the catapult at all.

After another three rounds of attack and defense conversion, Fang Lin's eyes suddenly burst out with two rays of light, and just after the fourth round of rune stones were released, he suddenly shouted: "Attack!" ”

Ratella, the super-large catapult roared angrily, and the rune stones that had been prepared were projected out in an instant, and its projectile height was higher than that of the large catapult, and the trajectory of its fall was not the same, plus the Yeyue Army had already sacrificed the rune array according to the ordinary rune stones launched earlier, and now there was no strength left to block these super-large rune stones.

Seeing these super-large rune stones smashing towards the large array of light shields, Beitang Ao's reaction was not slow, and he immediately ordered: "All the strong people attack together, be sure to stop those big stones!" ”

Hmm~~~ The attacks of the powerhouses above the reincarnation realm shot towards those oversized rune stones, however, Fang Lin seemed to have expected this, just when those attacks had just broken out of the large array of light shields, countless attacks fell from high in the sky, dissolving the attack methods of the Yeyue Army one by one, and then, one hundred and fifty fast rune stones smashed on the light mask without missing any omission.

The explosion that is ten times more terrifying than the ordinary rune stone rises on the large array of light shields, and each explosion can make the light mask shake for a while, and this shaking is getting more and more powerful, when it bears the explosive force of one hundred and fifty fast rune stones, the large array of light masks has begun to extinguish, and what is even more terrifying is that the flames generated by the explosion are not immediately extinguished, but are attached to the light mask, burning violently, constantly consuming the energy of the large array.

Seeing this situation, Beitang Ao knew that he had to send the strong to go out to contain the strong men of the other party, otherwise, he only needed those strong men to attack, and the big array would be broken, without hesitation, many Yeyue Army powerhouses rushed out under the leadership of Li Yi, that is, the current Li Tailiu, and killed the strong men of Ling Hua Sect in the sky.

Fang Lin ignored the battle in the air, did not give the other party any chance, and quickly ordered another round of attacks, while the oversized catapult was a scattering attack.

When they saw another round of attacks from the other party, Ye Yuejun had no choice but to passively cast a rune array to resist those ordinary rune stones, however, Beitang Ao still ordered several groups of rune arrays to keep an eye on those super-large catapults, however, the other party's scattering this time made them dumbfounded, no matter how they defended, they had to take care of one or the other!

The more he hesitated, the greater the loss, and the next moment, I don't know how many rune stones rumbled on the light mask, and the large array trembled violently for a while, and then shattered with a bang, turning into a point of light in the sky and dissipating without a trace.

Ling Huajun immediately let out an earth-shattering cheer, but Fang Lin didn't mean to stop, the staff waved, and immediately ordered the forward battalion to charge, the phalanx composed of 100,000 sword and shield soldiers and siege soldiers roared, and rushed towards the opponent's city wall, the tower followed seamlessly as if it was moving, and actually began to fire arrows while marching, suppressing the opponent's archers, and the rushing chariots and siege vehicles were also mixed in, This grand charging scene made those sect disciples who had never been on the battlefield dumbfounded for a while.

"What the fuck are you guys attacking, what are you doing stupidly, waiting to be stabbed!" In many places, the commanders could not help but open their mouths to scold the fluting soldiers, as a way to wake them up from the shock.

Cai Wenyong and Cheng Pu also ran to the other direction to take charge of the command, and in the midst of the roar of arrows in the sky, a heavy whistling sound suddenly sounded, Beitang Ao looked up, and couldn't help but scold: "Fuck, this super large catapult can actually project rune stones onto the city!" ”

As soon as his words fell, there were rumbling explosions in many places on the city's head, emptying many places, and a large number of corpses appeared on the city's head in an instant, which made the mental defense line of those improvised Yeyue Army almost collapse.

However, Beitang Ao is not a mediocre hand, in this case, knowing that if he does not fight back, the army will definitely collapse quickly, and then the army will be defeated, so he immediately ordered: "Praetorian Guard Division, prepare for crossbows!" ”

When the order was given, a strange sound sounded on the top of the city, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a row of cube-shaped boxes appear behind them, each box was about two people high, and the front was irregularly arranged with a hundred holes about the size of a thumb.

"Put!" A loud shout sounded, a hundred large boxes roared at the same time, and 10,000 crossbow arrows made a piercing sound of breaking the air, shooting towards the Linghua army under the city irregularly, the speed was like lightning, but in the blink of an eye, the city bloomed with clusters of blood, those crossbow arrows with mysterious whereabouts are not at all what these low-level soldiers can capture the trajectory, some crossbow arrows can even kill three birds with one stone, and for a time the Linghua army under the city cried wolf howl, and it was chaotic.

This killing suddenly stabilized the morale of those Yeyue troops who were about to collapse, and one by one, regardless of the battlefield crisis, raised their hands high, and let out an excited roar, Beitang Ao saw this, and also breathed a big sigh, and shouted in a deep voice: "All the troops stick to their posts, now is not the time to celebrate, the archers pay attention to suppressing the opponent's tower, the rune formation group, pay attention to guarding against the opponent's rune stones, prepare the crossbow, and give the other party another ruthless attack at the first opportunity!" ”

After Beitang Ao's command, the Yeyue Army stabilized its position, and correspondingly, the Ling Hua Army was a little timid after encountering the attack of the crossbow, and did not continue to attack for a while.

Seeing this, Fang Lin's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "It seems that the Yeyue Empire has not only known about fighting wars over the years, but has also researched a lot of new things, hehe." Then, he shouted: "The whole army is attacking, don't be afraid, that kind of weapon cannot be used continuously, the interval between them must not be short, as long as they rush under the city wall, it will be a dead end for them to shoot!" ”

The so-called words woke up the people in the dream, Fang Lin's words immediately re-boosted the morale of the Ling Hua army, the commanders shouted and commanded their phalanx to rush violently, and the soldiers of the Yeyue Army at the head of the city also began to attack with bows and arrows, falling stones, magic decisions, charms, etc.

Galala, the roar of the super-large catapult sounded, and the next moment, a large number of ordinary rune stones were thrown towards the city head of Shanhaiguan, not surprisingly, the sea waves at the head of the city rose, blocking all those rune stones, however, because these waves blocked the sight of the soldiers on the city head, they lost their accuracy in blocking the Linghua soldiers who climbed the city wall, that is, in such a time of four or five breaths, more than a hundred elite soldiers crossed their blockade line and killed into the crowd.

High in the air, Monkey Ying showed a cold and bloodthirsty smile and looked at Li Yi opposite, without saying a word, the light flashed on his fist, and he smashed directly into the opponent's chest, the speed did not look fast, but it compressed the surrounding air, limiting the opponent's activity space, making Li Yi in a deep quagmire, the flexibility of the body is not as good as usual, if you forcibly dodge in this situation, it is tantamount to looking for death.

Li Yi didn't say a word, gathered his strength to meet it with a punch, the two fists collided in the air, and there was a loud bang, the figures of the two were frozen in the air, and a circle of air waves was suddenly discharged, dispersing a small half of the heavy clouds around them, and the next moment, the two of them flew out upside down, but Li Yi was going to fly out more than ten zhang.

Li Yi shook his hand that was a little numb, but in the next second, his pupils shrank sharply, and Monkey Win actually killed him again in such a short period of time, the speed was amazingly fast, and he directly grabbed the door in front of him with one claw, but Li Yi snorted coldly, raised his hand and grabbed Monkey Win's wrist, and pushed it out to resolve this attack.

However, Monkey Win's other hand was a palm towards his chest, Li Yi's other hand also met with a palm, a muffled sound, the two palms collided, at the same time, Li Yi's hand that held Monkey Win's paw was backhanded, buckled Monkey Win's wrist, just when he wanted to exert force, throw his opponent up, Monkey Win's hand also buckled his wrist, the two of them at the same time, but no one could do anything to whom.

The next moment, the two of them ran the true yuan at the same time, shaking each other back, twenty zhang apart, both of them looked at each other, but they didn't attack at the first time, Li Yi's eyes flashed with excitement, and said: "Okay, very good, I haven't met such an evenly matched opponent for a long time, I didn't expect that I met it not long after I broke through, haha, such a battle, it's really a good thing for me to quickly stabilize my cultivation and familiarize myself with the realm, come again!" ”
