Chapter 137: The Battle of the Yuan Infant (2)
Flag hunting on the west tower is brightly lit.
Under the west city gate, there are 9,000 bone soldiers, divided into left, front, right, middle and rear five armies. The first three armies stopped their horses outside the dry moat, each led by a golden corpse knight - the ghost soldiers were already close to death, and once the order was given to stand still, it was really like the terracotta warriors and horses in the emperor's mausoleum, and the silence made people's scalps tingle.
Behind the Chinese army, there was a loud sound of gold and iron wheels turning, and I saw thousands of bone soldiers in the rear army surrounded by various siege baggage slowly approaching the main formation, and the bone soldiers did not know where to drag ten huge cannons that stood like high platforms - I was born as a pirate, and I knew that this was the most powerful armament of the secular dynasty, and it was filled with "Shenwei General", and there were five in my family back then, and the weak people of Jindan would die if they were killed by a shell. Murong Zhi's father was killed by this thing.
"A few months ago, the general soldiers and Taishou on Jingnan Road abandoned the city and fled, and all the weapons in the arsenal fell into our hands, including these giant cannons, rushing cars, and ladders. β
The Thief SpringsβAfter nightfall, he was active again.
"When you were fighting for the city with the Sword Sect, did you also use these tools to hit the Jin Dan and Peacock Dao soldiers on the flying sword? Where did the gunners find them? Did the cannonballs have an etching sigil?"
I asked.
"The bronze corpses and iron corpses in charge of the cannons were originally the gunners of the county army. Although they are corpses, their skills are engraved in their hearts...... Some of the shells were etched into sigils, some were notβwe are not a sect of fine talismans after all...... However, anyway, the cannonballs are all from the imperial court's armament, and it is not distressing to hit them like flowing water, if you break the opponent's one Jin Dan and one Dao soldier, you will earn it. β
I nodded.
I also saw some bone soldiers holding firearms, clairvoyant mirrors and other precision equipment in their hands, which were probably also taken from the county arsenal.
The ten disciples of the Western Sect have already taken their places on the western wall - they are different from the outer disciples who have crawled through the red dust: after Kunlun has been promoted to the inner disciples, most of them have no worldly experience. Although each has its own wonderful Taoist skills, they lack the ability and experience to deal with foreign enemies. I think that the Duren Academy's matching of inner door guides for the trial disciples in the Nine Trials does not have the deep meaning of allowing both sides to learn from each other.
Yesterday, from midnight to dawn, the inner disciples shed countless blood, and by the time I lined them up tonight to defend with the city formation, everyone has become a lot more sophisticated.
"Boom, boom!"
Ten giant cannons began to test their cannons on the city wall of Huanghe County.
The cannonballs below the city wall only caused the outer city wall to fluctuate a little, and not a single pit was blown out, and the cannonballs higher than the city wall hit the dome that extended to the sky in the Liangyi Great Array, and the qi of the dome spread out like ripples, and it immediately returned to its original state. The "Great General of Shenwei" has been shocked back into the array of bone soldiers, and it exploded, destroying hundreds of bone soldiers at once.
When the corpse soldiers were busy adjusting the trajectory of the giant cannon to the city wall and the dome, their target was us standing on the city tower - Chifu told me: The Liangyi Great Array bears the star power on the top and the ground qi on the bottom, and only this central intercity line is the flaw in the formation, and it cannot be perfected without more than ten days.
I admired that there were also people with outstanding eyesight in the ghost gate, and said to the thief spring beside me,
"The army guarding a county is so powerful, you ghost sects are really talented. β
"Actually, the essence accumulated by our sect for hundreds of years is concentrated in the Yunmeng Outer Defense Sect, so Brother Yuan Dao is so handy. β
ββIt turns out that the demon forces under Yunmeng City are empty. I made a secret note of it.
"You can defect to our Kunlun, why don't your ghost army defect to the Sword Sect? The power of the Sword Sect is greater than our Kunlun, and it is much greater than your Ghost Sect. β
The girl in red used her fingers to count the landing point of the cannonball, and asked the thief spring in confusion.
"Although we are not demons, as ghosts, we are also discriminated against by the Sword Sect. Even if you surrender to the Sword Sect, you are not a slave, but a material for sword refining. That's why the Ghost King taught us that we can only protect ourselves if the corpse conjures into as many of its kind as possible. β
"Phew. There is only one of the same kind out of a hundred and ten people, and those mortals who have turned into bone soldiers are the sinisters of your ghost sect. β
"I also have a constant feeling of anxiety in my heart. But the Ghost King taught: Those who can transform into corpses are those with deep roots, and they are expected to rely on his method to achieve immortality, and mortals who cannot transform into corpses will also turn into ashes sooner or later-our ghost sect ...... Ghost Gate...... But the first generation of heaven to choose. β
Thief Quan couldn't help but shrink his neck as he spoke, Yan Ruolin's sword was already on it.
I put her sword away and persuaded the girl in red to tell me that she was not jealous.
"Then how did you become a corpse?"
I asked the thief fountain gently,
"I ...... In my previous life, I was a Confucian student in Kansai, and on the way to the imperial capital's big official's house as a staff member, I was sucked yang energy by a ghost and turned into a corpse. In the past, I learned literary and martial arts and sold them to the emperor, but now I just sell my magical powers to the ghost prince. Actually, it's no different. β
-- He could have thought about it.
"So, you were killed by a ghost, compare your heart to your heart, and don't hurt others to be ghosts in the future. β
I suddenly pushed the Thief Spring off the tower, and the Silver Serpent Sword sliced through a galloping Kamui General from head to tail.
The official Kamui Shogun hail the city wall like a hailstone.
The people at the gate of the city used their magic powers, and they all let the shells land. There are also people who sacrifice flags, mirrors and other magic weapons, or flags set the cannonballs in the air so that they cannot fall, and then bloom like fireworks; or the mirrors flash on the cannonballs, and the cannonballs turn back into the bone army instead.
Gongsun Wenlong did not dodge and did not evade the hard blow of the mighty general with his golden body, and the cat meowed and moaned like spring. His white clothes and red belly pockets were blown to ashes by cannonballs, revealing his snow-white jade skin all over his body, and I saw that there were nine dragon tattoos embroidered on his skin with gold, purple, blue and red.
"Long Shao's master is the lord of the Rakshasa country, and he is also a real person in the demon. After Long Shao learned the arts, the lord of the country personally tattooed the Nine Dragons sigil for him, plus his own power - the power of ten dragons. Brother Yuan, don't be fooled by Long Shao's appearance, you should imagine him as the dragon demon of the Ao family, the strongest person among us. β
Nangong explained to me lightly that he had fought with Long Shao many times, and it seemed that he knew all about Long Shao's habits.
His fingertips conjured up celestial silks, scattered like cobwebs in the sky, and the speeding cannonballs stuck to the web. As soon as the net was closed and released, General Shenwei fell back to the giant cannon rack and collapsed one.
"Yikes!"
A doorman shouted. The cannonball that landed next to him exploded, but what came out was obsidian-colored pollen, and he was at a loss.
Several other people also screamed, and the cannonballs that exploded also came out of obsidian-colored pollen.
"That's the seed of the blight. Don't let it spread! Living people will die of ingestion of disease, and you living people will also be hindered by ingesting Jindan!"
The thief spring called under the castle tower.
Their corpses breathe differently than we living, so he is not afraid of the seeds of the disease.
Jin Dan, who was close to the source of the cannonball, hurriedly breathed and refined the inhaled pollen, and three ominous pollen tides slowly drifted into the inner city from the outer city wall along the wind. My silver snake sword flew out, and my natal thunder increased tenfold through the divine sword, intercepting the pollen before entering the city, and using the thunder fire to destroy the three blight seeds and sources into dust.
The flying sword returned to my hand, and the sound of swords clashing sounded on the city walls.
Seven knights with axes came out of the shells -- they hid in the great general of Shenwei and went directly to the city to take the gate! These were the elite soldiers of the enemy's tent
The bone soldiers under the city tower are already using the ladder ants to attach to the city, and they are led by the golden corpse knights of the first three armies, and they will take over the main general who will go up to the city tower first.
"Let's defend against the cannonballs and use the thunder method to bombard the follow-up corpses on the ladder. The Seven Golden Corpses are dealt with by our stronger ones. β
As I shouted, I used the silver snake sword of thunder and lightning to cut off the golden corpse above my head and slash at my Tianling Gai's arm, and with the other hand, I released a thunder flower and blasted into the mud pill palace of the golden corpse at the lower level of Jindan.
I ignored it anymore, and went straight to the back of another Jindan middle-level golden corpse that was fighting with Xiao Jiancheng, a disciple of the inner sect, and slashed his head with a sneak attack.
Then I swept in front of the girl in red, and the gold and silver swords were combined, and they all sank into the golden corpse on the upper layer of the golden pill in front of me. The golden corpse fell off the outer wall, and a cloud of plasma swallowed him up.
The first golden corpse that was injured by my thunder law also fell down bleeding from all its knots, and his Yin God was crippled by my thunderbolt just now.
Long Shao, Nangong, and Liu Ziyue also threw the four-headed golden corpses they had solved down into the city.
I saw the eyes of two dead men staring at us pop out in horror.
I silently counted the time, solved the seven golden pills, and it took us thirty breaths to take less time.
"Long Shao, knock down those ten ladders. β
I shouted at him.
"Do you have any fun ideas?"
The dragon maiden put her delicate hand on a ladder and shook it, and the ladder that towered up to the city wall shook like strings. Hundreds of skeletal soldiers on the ladder bounced like grasshoppers. He whistled and pulled the ladder diagonally, and he pushed the ladder, which weighed hundreds of people, into the dry moat. As concocted, nine more large cloud ladders were pushed down one after another by Gongsun Wenlong.
I thought about the sacrificial sword recipe of "the sword is in the heart of the sword, and the dan is at the tip of the sword", and the vitality was injected into the silver snake sword, and my face turned pale.
A red lotus made of flames bloomed from the tip of the silver snake's sword and floated down the moat, and then another red lotus burst out from the tip of the sword and also floated down the moat. The tip of the silver snake's sword spat out ten fire lotuses in a row, and the ten fire lotuses fell on the ghost soldiers and cloud ladders in the trench, and immediately burned under the pretense of their corpses. The more enemies struggling in the trench, the more alms the Fire Lotus receives, and the more open it grows. Suddenly, from the first ten flowers, to thousands of flowers.
The moat suddenly became a lake of fire around the city. Thousands of fire lotuses bloom in the lake, and the lotus roots are rooted in the soil of the corpse.
However, the fire did not spread and spread into the city, but only burned quietly in the trenches surrounding the city, forming an impassable fire curtain between the bone soldiers and us.
"In the past, my vitality was limited, and it was okay to control and crack the enemy's thunder and fire, but the thunder and fire released by myself faded in three drums, and it was no longer a climate. But recently, I have studied Lin Zhenren's Biluo Huangquan Sword Technique, discussed with thirty or forty teachers and friends, and then listened to Pian Pian explain the way of Jindan, and gradually comprehended the truth of the common path. β
I explained my Taoism and experience to the people,
"In the past, the electric snake and thunder weapons I released only sought to make arms like my heart, and I only wanted to make my arms like my arms. But they don't understand the truth that there is always a difference. Now the fire lotus that I spit out in combination with the Silver Snake Sword is not only my thoughts, but also my own thoughts. My thoughts give birth to flowers, and flowers turn into new flowers according to the law. A fire lotus, as long as it is due to fate, can be reborn in the face of the enemy. β
Gongsun lowered his head and pondered for a while, clapping his hands and laughing,
"In the past, you relied on the golden body of your own master to feed your vitality, but now you can find the enemy's physical body to provide for yourself when you release it. If I am struck by your fire lotus, I should quickly extinguish the first one, or the second, the third...... I will use my own physical body to make offerings, and I will be lit with sky lanterns. β
"This arcane spell can be called the Huaguang Lotus Lamp, but it is cruel to the enemy. β
Nangong Road.
I don't say anything. Since my debut, I have been bloody, and in the last two wars, I have killed a lot of sins. I don't know if there is a heavenly cycle in this world, and what will happen to me in the end.
There was a cloud over my heart.
"Uncle Shi's anger is shaking. β
The girl in red comforted me, "My father said that it is against the heavens for a cultivator to seek immortality, and when it comes to evil rebellion, there is no one greater than us cultivators. I did the first year of junior high school, and I was not afraid of fifteen. β
I smiled. The tone of the head of Kunlun is not like that of a noble and enlightened person, who has escaped from a robber leader.
"Princess Lin is very right. The ghosts that the disciples destroy are ghosts that feed on the blood of the living, which is the good karma of accumulating merit. Liu Ziyue complimented, and bent down to offer the yellow bud pill that made up for the vitality.
The attack of the ghost soldiers under the city tower was silent for a long time. Suddenly, the ghost soldiers parted into two waves, and the Chinese army ran out of a bone dragon horse, and the Jindan knight on it stopped thirty steps in front of the fire lake. His qi is similar to the ghost general we killed last night, and he is also a Dao Fetus Jin Dan. The bone dragon was immediately covered with a treasure building, which was probably some kind of soul dementor.
"His name is General Huagai - this time our Ghost Gate raided the east wing, and the two demon kings took action to deal with the Yuan Infant, and to deal with Jin Dan, he and the ghost general commanded a qiΔ. "The Thief Spring, which flashed behind Liu Ziyue's shadow, reminded me.
"Who are you? Who is the main general? Is it all your work that the ghost general was wiped out and the Yellow Crane County was taken?"
General Huagai shouted at our city.
"We are the Kunlun Dragon and Tiger Alliance, and I am the main general Yuan Jiankong. The two Yuan Infant Demon Kings are finished, and the army of the ghost general is also finished. He died from the combination of my and Princess Kunlun Lin's two swords, no matter how powerful you are, at most you will end up like him. You can also see that your army has broken off a third of the city in one round of siege, and you will not be able to attack our 100 gold pills to hold the city. Can I think that the counterattack on your eastern flank is over, and you can only retreat to the city to the west?"
I exaggerated a little to increase the prestige of my own people.
General Huagai bowed his head and groaned,
"Indeed, I cannot take your city. You are not the Sword Sect, can we negotiate?--It is useless to die, if you don't attack our city in the future, I won't take the initiative to attack you. Whatever you want, I and the ghost general can give it to you after we report it. β
What kind of medicine is sold in General Huagai's gourd? I asked Nangong quietly.
("You have more than forty golden pills, if the Yan Courtyard Lord really seriously injured or killed the two Yuan Infant Demon Kings, then the East Wing is actually in the pocket of the sect.) He asked the Kunlun Dragon and Tiger to sit and watch the battle, so that all the soldiers who were needlessly defending the city would be transferred to the central and western wings of the Sword Sect attack. -- In ancient times, there were also such examples: the thief army made peace with the officials and soldiers all the way, and gave them up to the empty city to be promoted to the rank of knight. Then they gathered the soldiers defending the city and attacked the officers and troops of the other way. βοΌ
Nangong replied to me with a divine thought.
I see, my father has always been a pirate and has never played this two-faced trick.
- General Huagai's mention is indeed tempting to others, but my ambition is not only to recapture a few cities, my goal is Yunmeng City.
I caught the thief fountain from Liu Ziyue's shadow, and he was ashamedly exposed in front of General Huagai, and tried to cover his face with his sleeve.
"I have a better Jianyi - all the ghost soldiers of the five cities in your east wing have taken refuge in our Kunlun and become our Kunlun disciples. After our Kunlun laid down the cloud dream, your sins and rebellion Kunlun helped you forgive all of them, and you will have the identity of the exercises in the future. This golden corpse knight called the Spring Thief is the one who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and now he is our Kunlun people - remember, I am only the first wave of Kunlun pioneers, and our Kunlun follow-up forces will continue to come here. β
I think when Ji Zhenren said that he slaughtered Su Wan and Mi Zifang, he opened a white note to promise them benefits. I want to learn from the true people of this sect, open the door of convenience, and unite the forces that can be united.
- If we get the five cities on the eastern flank and the ghost soldiers defending the city, the road to Yunmeng City will be a smooth road for us.
The ghost fire in the eyes of the general canopy flickered,
"Let me think about it for seven days, and I'll reply in seven days. β
With a wave of his treasure, six thousand bone soldiers retreated towards the county seat to the west.
I suddenly remembered something, and shouted to General Huagai,
"Do you know the identity of the person in Yunmeng? It seems that none of your Golden Corpse Knights know who to die for!"
"Even the ghost general doesn't know who Yunmeng's person is, only the ghost king knows the identity of that person. The Yuanying powerhouses who came to the west of Jingnan Daoxi all took refuge in the Ghost King as the leader of the Evil Dao Alliance. I only obey the orders of the Oni General. β
General Huagai went away with the bone soldiers.
"Hmph, Evil Alliance Leader. Do you think that if you are a real cultivator, you can command the evil way?"
Gongsun Wenlong said disdainfully,
"An Evil Dao Alliance Leader who can't even command a Continent cultivator? Joke. β
"Even if the lord of the Rakshasa Kingdom commanded a Great Northern Wilderness Continent, his strength is not as great as that of Sister Pianpian's Dragon and Tiger Sect. There are still doubts about whether Venerable Master and Ling Zun will survive this winter?"
The girl in red sneered at each other.
Nangong and I finally pulled the two people who were going to do it apart.
