Chapter 38: Xingchenwei
Outside Xiling City, on both sides of the Yangtze River, there are dense flags.
Lu Ji and Lu Yun stood side by side, standing on the bank of the river with their hands in their hands, looking at the Jin army camp across the river. Behind them, the Wu army was already pressing on Xiling City, and the city could be attacked at the first order.
On the north bank of the river, Wang Rong was wearing battle armor, and beside him was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, dressed in a white robe with big sleeves, holding a white jade tail.
"Although this southern country is withering, there is still no shortage of capable people, I didn't expect to meet Jiangdong Erlu in this first battle. Wonderful...."Wang Yan looked at the south bank of the river with a smile, shook the tail in his hand slightly, and then the person remained motionless, like a statue standing on the bank of the river.
Wang Rong smiled helplessly and glanced up at the cloudy sky. Then his whole body stood still, and only his robe was blown by the river wind.
The sky was cloudy, and the black clouds rolled and seemed to make the sky lower and lower. It seems that the entire Xiling City is filled with a heavy sense of depression within a radius of 100 miles.
"They are guests from afar, but they can't let the guests wait too long!" On the south bank of the river, Lu Ji also looked up at the dark clouds above his head, and then whispered to Lu Yun.
As soon as Lu Ji's words fell, the two brothers also became motionless.
At this moment, above the dark clouds, there are four humanoid lights and shadows stepping on the void, and the wind and clouds are surging.
These four primordial gods are naturally Lu Ji, Wang Rong and others, but in just one year, Wang Rong and Lu Yun have also stepped into the realm of Taoist primordial gods.
Just when Lu Ji and the others escaped above the dark clouds, the siege of the Wu army officially began.
"Brother Cheng, go, it's time to let the world see the strength of these Xingchenwei. Zhou Chu was still sitting on the donkey, he instructed Zhou Cheng, but he had no intention of taking action himself.
"The subordinates have orders. Zhou Cheng hugged his fists and took his life, as if he had returned to the feeling when he followed Zhou Yi to the battlefield.
Zhou Cheng turned around, already holding the Qingping Sword in his hand.
Then he pointed his sword at Xiling City, and shouted out a sentence:
"Set-up, forward..."
Then the five hundred star guards approached Xiling City with steps, and from a distance, this military formation that was not huge was not strange, but it invisibly gave people a feeling of thousands of weather.
Zhou Cheng walked at the front of the military formation, and when he saw the arrows flying from the city, he didn't dodge or dodge, and when those arrows fell on Zhou Cheng, they couldn't shoot through his clothes, and they all fell to the ground.
The frog robes can block the blades of ordinary soldiers, and these arrows are naturally fine.
"What's going on with that army?" Xiling Chengtou Bu Xian was supervising the battle, and when he saw that the arrows could not even hurt the ordinary soldiers behind him, he immediately attracted his attention.
"I'll give it a try in the end. The subordinate general of Bu Xian took a bow, mounted an arrow, and aimed it at an ordinary Star Guard soldier.
This person is a general who is good at using bows and arrows under Bu Xian, although he can't say that he can wear Yang in a hundred steps, but he is indeed much more powerful than ordinary archers. I saw that this man drew his bow like a full moon, and the whole movement flowed smoothly, and the arrow rushed to the city like a bolt of lightning.
The arrow went straight to a star guard soldier in the front row, and before the arrow arrived, the soldier burst into a loud shout, and then slashed forward with the ring knife in his hand, and actually cut the arrow directly in front of him.
The five hundred soldiers had already fused with the Xiao Zhou Tian Star Array, and their perception and reaction speed had increased several times.
The arrow was cut down in the air, and Bu Yan and the others on the city tower were also shocked, and the general who shot the arrow looked at the bow and arrow in his hand in disbelief.
"Chen Yang"
Zhou Cheng, who was on the march, suddenly shouted out a name.
Then, in the camp of the Star Guard, one person in the middle of the formation took off the bow and arrow on his back, and opened his bow and arrow as he walked.
Just as this soldier was setting up an arrow, an invisible ripple rippled in Xiao Zhou Tianxingchen's array, as if the strength of other people in the formation was converging towards this archer.
This soldier named Chen Yang is one of the eyes of Xiao Zhou Tian's Star Array, and what he represents is the Sun Star.
The arrows came out of the string, like a roaring fire going straight up the tower.
"No...."On the top of the castle tower, the general who shot the arrow just now constricted his pupils and let out an exclamation in his mouth, but before his voice could be fully uttered, an arrow had already penetrated the center of his eyebrows, and under the action of huge force, the entire head was nailed to the castle tower behind him.
"Change the repeater.... Quick change repeater.... Knock this team back first. Bu Xian shouted in a panic, and the others had already hidden behind the battlements, not daring to show their heads.
Soon, above the city tower, several repeater locomotives were pushed onto the city wall in the direction of Xingchenwei's attack. The huge crossbow arrows, through the gap between the battlements, were aimed at the Star Guard.
"Change Formation" Zhou Cheng immediately gave an order, although he did not use his divine power, but Shen Nian had already noticed the changes on the city wall.
Under the command of Zhou Cheng, the Xiao Zhou Tian Star Array changed rapidly, the formation compressed towards the eye of the Sun and Moon Two Stars, and the originally scattered formation became extremely tight, and the soldiers who were used for attack at the front were also quickly replaced by a row of soldiers holding round shields.
After these shields, the other soldiers stretched out a hand and put one hand on the shoulder of the soldier in front of them, and the whole formation became like a strong bulwark.
Immediately afterwards, the crossbow roared, falling like a rain of arrows, but the crossbow, which was originally difficult to resist even the giant shield, weakened in momentum in front of the Xingchenwei's formation, and those huge crossbow arrows either fell in front of the Xingchenwei's formation, or barely shot on the round shield, but they only glowed with a faint white light, and still fell to the ground.
In the entire battle of Xiling, Zhou Cheng had the smallest number of siege here, but after the war began, he attracted the most Xiling defenders, with a military formation of 500 people, showing the most battlefield momentum, which was the strongest on the entire battlefield.
"The ladder follows, ascends to the city...."Zhou Cheng pointed with his long sword, and the two ladders that followed were also pushed up.
The cloud ladder was close to Xiling City, Zhou Cheng took the lead, stepped lightly under his feet, stepped on the cloud ladder in a few steps, and then several jumpers jumped on the head of Xiling City.
Zhou Cheng took the lead in the city, waving the Qingping sword in his hand, and soon countless blades fell around Zhou Cheng, and those Xiling defenders were either cut off their wrists or pierced on their shoulders, although they did not hurt their lives, they also lost the ability to use their hands.
Following Zhou Cheng, the Xingchen Guard soldiers also quickly climbed to the head of Xiling City. Zhou Cheng only took out a few swords, and then withdrew the Qingping sword, and in today's battle, he found that he didn't have the feeling when he followed Zhou Yi to kill the enemy in the past, but he suddenly felt bored.
"Maybe this is a change in the level of power.... It's no wonder that those with supernatural powers don't casually appear in secular disputes, it's really boring to fight like this....." Zhou Cheng stood alone at the head of Xiling City, looking up at the dark clouds that were almost close at hand, and couldn't help but say to himself in his heart.
Ordinary people didn't know that in the sky above Xiling City, above the thick dark clouds, there was a gorgeous and dazzling confrontation that made people even more incomprehensible.
There, the glow is full, the five-colored qi is pervasive, and all kinds of weather evolve and die in the void.
There is a phantom of the Taoist, waving his hand.
There is a white jade tail, and the wind is raging when it shakes.
There is a finger pointing out, as if it can penetrate the heavens and the earth.
There is a golden whip wielding, and the void is born with thunderbolts.
However, hundreds of miles away in Lexiang, where the breeze and sun shine, reflecting the sparkling river, a beautiful color of mountains and rivers.
From the north and south banks of the river, each has a leaf flat boat slowly sailing to the opposite bank, this situation and this scene, but also with a bit of picturesque artistic conception.
The two flat boats met in the middle of the river, each stopped, and then the bow of the boat met.
On the bow of the flat boat, one person stands on each side, all of whom have gray hair and a high crown.
The two looked at each other and smiled, bowing to each other, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
It's just that on the north and south banks behind the two of them, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops lined up in formation, stretching for dozens of miles.
The army is strong, the killing intent is rushing into the night, and the birds are extinct.....
