50 Driving the Herd to the South (Page 1/1)

It is said that this crimson firework corresponds to the color of the southern fire in the Five Elements. With the fireworks blooming in the sky, Xie Yixiang and Lord Fang hurriedly looked at the city gate south of Ningyi City, but they didn't see any movement.

You must know that the Ningyi City where everyone is located at this time is located at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, which is a large area of mountains and hills, but it naturally forms a road, which runs through the entire mountain in a north-south direction, so that it was built by the ancients to connect Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. And Ningyi City is built in the open area on this official road, so out of the city gate to the east and west direction, less than ten miles is already a rugged mountain, as for the north and south direction, it is a flat road connecting the north and south official roads. Now in the wilderness outside the city gate in the south of Ningyi City, about 3,000 rebels are stationed, and a camp tent has been set up five or six miles away from the south gate of Ningyi City, and a string of lights has been shining since the middle of the night.

When the red fireworks were completely annihilated in the night sky, a crackling sound gradually came from the rebel camp outside the south gate of Ningyi City. Xie Yixiang listened carefully, it was like the sound of firecrackers exploding after they were lit, and after a while, the sound was getting louder and louder, and it was actually the momentum of hundreds of strings of firecrackers exploding at the same time. The entire rebel camp in the southern wilderness also became agitated, and there were many fires in succession, mixed with the screams and screams of the sergeants.

Xie Yixiang and Lord Fang on the upper floor of the "Tianyun Residence" in the city glanced at each other, they were not clear, and they wanted to ask about the son on the high platform, but they were afraid that this little Taoist priest would not answer, so they had to continue to look outside the south gate to check carefully. As the rebel camp to the south was in disarray, a large group of black shadows rushed out of the rebel camp and rushed all the way in the direction of Ningyi City, like cattle and horses, and behind the buttocks of each animal, there were sparks splashing, apparently tied to the lit firecrackers, which made the animals run forward like crazy. Xie Yixiang hurriedly used her "poor thousands of miles" magical power, and immediately saw it clearly, and blurted out: "This is ...... Could it be that the little Taoist chief arranged outside the south gate of Ningyi City tonight was actually a 'fire ox array'?"

As Xie Yixiang saw, at this time, it was hundreds of cattle that rushed out of the rebel camp in the south and headed all the way to Ningyi City. These oxen all have lit firecrackers strapped to their tails, forming a common battlefield "fire bull formation", which runs farther south and crashes into the rebel camp in the south before exiting the camp. You must know that even the elite battle array listed by the elite generals is difficult to resist once they encounter such a "fire bull array" composed of such wild herds of cattle, not to mention the camp where the 3,000 rebels are stationed in the south? I saw the cattle in the night running wildly, and in the blink of an eye, they had rushed to the city wall south of Ningyi City, but not a single ox hit the city wall, but passed through the open south gate of Ningyi City in an orderly manner, and rushed into the city one after another.

In this way, the deep pit that had been dug behind the city gate by Deichiko finally came in handy. As soon as the cattle entered the city gate, they just stepped on the street behind the city gate, and in front of them were a deep pit with a square circle of three or four zhang and a depth of shallow feet, which almost cut off the entire street. Where could the rushing herd stop the momentum, and suddenly fell into the deep pit one after another. But in the blink of an eye, the first pit dug in the street was filled with nearly 100 cattle, and the herd of cattle running behind continued to walk on the cattle, and then fell into the second pit in front. The more than 100 sergeants present had already dug three deep pits side by side on the street at this time, and when they saw such a strange scene, they understood the intention of Lord Taishou to ask them to dig the pits, and they were all excited, and hurriedly accelerated their actions to dig a fourth pit in the street.

Seeing that the area around the South Gate was going well, Deyizi on the high platform said coldly: "The 'Fire Bull Array' is a fire by nature, and now it is even more sharp with the momentum of the 'South Fire'. Tonight, the main force of the other side has long been attracted by the movement of the east and west gates, and with only this little force stationed in the camp in the south, how can it resist the sudden attack of the 'Fire Bull Array' in the middle of the night?" After a pause, he added: "Everyone in the world knows that the 'Fire Bull Array' is extremely powerful, and it can be described as invincible when used to charge into battle, but I don't know that this array has another wonderful use. That is for today's Ningyi City, tonight's five hundred cattle not only break the enemy, but also can fill the stomachs of the soldiers and civilians of Ningyi City. ”

Seeing that the cattle that rushed into the city kept falling into the deep pit, Xie Yixiang was not only surprised, but also curious, and couldn't help asking: "The cattle were frightened by the firecrackers behind them, and rushed towards Ningyi City in the middle of the night, but why didn't they directly hit the city wall, but passed through the open city gate impartially, and all rushed into the city?"

Lord Fang next to him was already trembling with excitement, and when he heard Xie Yixiang's question, he immediately laughed and said, "Miss Xie San was born in a family of eunuchs, no wonder she doesn't know the taboos in the countryside. You must know that the most taboo thing is red, and once you encounter a red object, you will immediately rush into it like crazy. Therefore, when the farmers and shepherd boys in the countryside deal with the oxen, they must stay away from red things, and they dare not wear red clothes. Before, Xianzun had an order, saying that tonight he said that he would use the power of the five elements to open the altar, and ordered the lower officials to follow the colors of the five elements corresponding to the five directions of east, west, south, north, and middle, and hung all kinds of cloth on the four city gates in the southeast, north, west, and north. Now it seems that the key to the reason why Immortal Venerable made such an arrangement was the southern gate of Ningyi City, which corresponded to the 'Fire of the Five Elements', and hung red cloth through the city gate to stimulate the galloping cattle, so that all of them could be introduced into the city. ”

Xie Yixiang hurriedly raised her eyes and looked, isn't the door hole in the south gate of Ningyi City full of red cloth? Even in the middle of the night, it is particularly conspicuous, and then it suddenly dawns on her. Hearing that Lord Fang changed the title of the right son from "Dao Chief" to "Immortal Venerable", he couldn't help but laugh secretly. I only heard Lord Fang continue to praise and praise: "Xia Guan is really stupid, and it is not until this moment that he finally understands Immortal Venerable's good intentions. It turned out that Xianzun had kept us in the dark, and only said that he wanted to open the altar, but in fact, he was not deliberately concealing it, but he was worried that the news would be leaked, so that the spies who had infiltrated the city would know Xianzun's plan tonight, so that the rebels outside the city would be on guard. It can be seen from this that Immortal Venerable is not only unparalleled in wisdom, but also does not leak a drop in his actions, and he is really a god and a man!

In the face of Lord Fang's beautiful words, De Yizi on the high platform was unmoved, but said lightly: "A cow is five hundred catties, and five hundred cows are two hundred and fifty thousand catties; excluding the cow bones, it is enough for 20,000 people in Ningyi City to eat for ten days and a half months." In addition, each ox tonight carried 100 catties of wheat on its back, a total of 50,000 catties of wheat. The sum of the two is exactly half a month's grain in Ningyi City. ”

Lord Fang nodded again and again when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to pat himself again, but when he saw that De Yizi on the high platform suddenly looked solemn, and read loudly: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the root of ten thousand qi." Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is the only one. Covering the world and nurturing the masses. The five are steaming, and the water is the most courteous. Haste as a law!"

After thinking this, he raised his hand again and pointed at the night sky, and another firework burst into the sky, exploding in the night sky. But the fireworks he released this time only heard the sound and did not see the color, except for a few sparks splashing in the night sky, he couldn't see the shape of this firework.

Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, and then came to her senses. De Yizi has previously corresponded to the four elements of gold, earth, wood, and fire, and has released four colors of fireworks: white, yellow, blue, and red. Therefore, this black firework blooms in the dark night sky, and the shape is invisible, only the sound of the explosion is heard.
