Chapter 473: Inexplicable Formation
In the middle of the night in early winter, on the edge of the imperial capital, the camp of the East Wangfu was full of fire.
Suddenly, the enemy seemed to fall from the sky, and instantly broke through the defense of the front camp of the East Wangfu and went straight into the camp.
Fortunately, the Chinese army led by Huang Yuanwu was extremely combative and experienced, and was able to react at the first time and organize a defensive counterattack in a hurry. The sudden attack of the enemy did not make the Dongwangfu army chaotic.
Huang Yuanwu led a group of guards, raised his sword and slashed into the enemy's group, and slashed with his sword.
The enemy's attack did not seem to be aimed at any of them, and after entering the camp, they scattered in all directions, killing and injuring as many Dongwangfu soldiers as possible, and the Dongwangfu soldiers who reacted spontaneously took the squad as the basis, quickly assembled the formation, and killed and injured the enemy as quickly as possible.
The sudden riot was quickly quelled.
When he killed the last enemy in front of him, the flames of the tent burning on the side reached its most intense.
There was a rumbling sound in my ears, and the reinforcements from the left and right camps also arrived, and led the leaders to rush into the camp, and all they saw was a mess.
The heavy smell of blood enveloped the burning smoke, making Huang Yuanwu's brows furrow.
Ding Jiang appeared beside Huang Yuanwu at this moment, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "The subordinates are not strict in handling things, causing the enemy army to attack the camp, please punish the little prince!"
Huang Yuanwu glanced at Ding Jiang, did not speak, gently shook off the blood stains on Dongwang's sword, inserted it back into the scabbard, turned around and left. Seeing this, Ding Jiang hurriedly got up, quickly ordered to clean up the battlefield, followed Huang Yuanwu's footsteps, and rushed to the camp tent that had not been affected.
What Huang Yuanwu entered was the camp tent of an ordinary team, at this moment his face was gloomy, and his mood was extremely bad, all the guards were arranged by him outside, and he was the only one in the tent.
Ding Jiang quietly opened the tent and walked in, standing in front of Huang Yuanwu, bowing his head and being silent.
"Trebuchet, where is it?" Huang Yuanwu sat on a bed, looked at Ding Jiang in front of him, and asked with a frown.
"A brigade has been sent to search, and the results will be available soon, and it should be in the mountains not far away. Ding Jiang said softly.
A hint of chill flashed in Huang Yuanwu's eyes, he looked at Ding Jiang and said softly, "With such a close distance, didn't the scouts reciprocate?"
"Four rounds a day, no anomalies were found. Ding Jiang hurriedly said: "All the regulations are done in accordance with the rules and regulations of the palace, there was a sneak attack a few days ago, so the last general also specially arranged an additional group of people, and the surrounding inspections were also very frequent, but no abnormalities were found." ”
"There is no abnormality, did the enemy fall from the sky?" Huang Yuanwu's eyes were cold, and he became more and more cold.
When Ding Jiang heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Little Prince, my subordinates have indeed been patrolling and strengthening the deployment in accordance with the regulations of the palace, before the enemy appeared, the patrol team had just completed the inspection of the surrounding mountain ranges, and no abnormalities were found, and there was no news from the secret posts we planted in the mountains. ”
"Then you are going to tell me, how did the enemy come here?" Huang Yuanwu's tone was very cold, and now in such a situation, he had to suspect any details that could be suspected: "Go and check it out for me now, I want to see all the reports of all the scouts for myself!"
"Yes!" At this moment, fine beads of sweat were already oozing from Ding Jiang's forehead, of course he knew that he was in charge of the defense of the entire camp, and if something like this happened now, he would be the first to blame.
Ding Jiang quickly retreated, and immediately began to investigate all the details, and arranged for the sergeants to enter the mountains on the left and right, searching for traces of the enemy.
Huang Yuanwu sat quietly in the tent, his brows furrowed.
This sudden attack was really unexpected. It's not that he doesn't want to believe Ding Jiang, Ding Jiang has been following Dongwangfu for more than ten years, and most of the time he has followed him to fight, and his loyalty is absolutely believable. But the sudden appearance of enemy troops and large trebuchets can only be understood as Ding Jiang concealing the surrounding situation, otherwise the enemy army that looks at it like this is really falling from the sky?
Huang Yuanwu frowned, his palm had never left the hilt of the Dongwang Sword, and at this moment, Xu Xiuping's words echoed in his mind.
"While there is still a choice, quit the army. ”
As soon as Xu Xiuping left, the camp was attacked by a sneak attack, and it was this strange situation, so I wanted to send another message to Huang Yuanwu: If I want to hit you, I can do it at any time.
It's just that Huang Yuanwu couldn't imagine that in addition to plotting against the senior generals around him, what other methods did they have, if it was really Ding Jiang who was plotted against him, things would be simpler, but if it wasn't ......
A few moments later, Ding Jiang took the signed sergeant and entered Huang Yuanwu's camp.
"Little prince, the scouts on all sides have already received news, and their subordinates have brought them directly over. Ding Jiang knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice.
Say. Huang Yuanwu's face was gloomy.
"Little prince, in the mountain stream on the east side, a low-lying valley was found, a large number of footprints were found in the valley, and there was a strange place with strange energy fluctuations. One of the scouts spoke quickly.
"Little Wangye, a large number of footprints were also found in the mountains on the west side, and there were also strange energy fluctuations, and there were still traces of suspected formations on the ground, but they couldn't be sure. ”
"In the direction of the imperial capital, between all the mountain roads and mountains, no anomalies were found. ”
"In the direction of the return route, no anomalies were found. ”
Huang Yuanwu listened to the return of the four scouts, waved his hand slightly, and the four of them immediately retreated, Huang Yuanwu immediately got up, glanced at Ding Jiang, and said softly: "Come with me and see this strange energy fluctuation." Then, he strode out of the camp and prepared to leave the camp with his guards.
Ding Jiang hurriedly got up, followed behind Huang Yuanwu, and then found a scout to guide him, and ordered a large group of men and horses, followed Huang Yuanwu, and went straight to the mountain stream on the east side.
At this moment, the dawn breaks.
The dawn of winter is bitterly cold.
A group of sergeants rode on war horses, stepped on layers of snow, and went straight to the mountain stream on the east side.
The mountain stream on the east side, there is a road in the mountain, pass along this road, you can directly reach the city of Shuinan City, where the emperor is at the beginning, last time, he was also attacked in this mountain stream, so the East Wangfu patrols this mountain road and the mountains on both sides are very frequent, in the past few days, no abnormalities and suspicious places have been found.
Following the scout's horses, the sergeants soon arrived at the place where the anomaly was discovered.
This place is located on the mountain range, not far from the Chinese military camp in the Dongwangfu, and it only took a stick of incense to reach it on horseback.
But this place is relatively secret, surrounded by trees, and if you don't explore it carefully, you probably won't be able to find this place.
After passing through the trees and entering the valley, the scout pointed to the strange map on the ground not far away, and said softly: "Little prince, this is the strangeness that his subordinates have discovered. ”
In the valley, covered with snow, but now above the snow, there are dense footprints, and in the middle of the valley, a huge map similar to the formation and its similarity lies there quietly, emitting a strange fluorescence.
The army stopped, and immediately a sergeant asked for orders to come forward to investigate, but Huang Yuanwu shook his head slightly, turned over and dismounted, and was about to go forward to check.
"Little Prince!" Ding Jiang immediately jumped off the war horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Huang Yuanwu, and said hurriedly: "The situation is unknown, the little prince can't." ”
Almost at the same time, all the sergeants dismounted, but none of them said a word.
Huang Yuanwu looked at Ding Jiang, smiled lightly, and said, "General Ding can accompany me." After speaking, regardless of Ding Jiang's dissuasion, he walked straight to the formation not far away.
Ding Jiang had no choice but to follow Huang Yuanwu and go together, accompanied by Huang Yuanwu's personal guards.
Huang Yuanwu carefully checked the footprints on the ground, and after Ding Jiang determined, these footprints were indeed left by the people who had just attacked the camp, they were wearing the same armor as the Beiwang Mansion, and the military boots were exactly the same.
Before walking to the formation, the strange three circles of charms emitted a faint fluorescence, lying quietly in the snow, this formation occupies a large area, and can accommodate dozens of people to enter at the same time. But the complicated spells on it, Huang Yuanwu didn't know.
This is also very understandable, Huang Yuanwu himself does not have the ability to practice the formation, so he knows very little about this aspect, and the formation magicians are very rare, although the formation exists, but it belongs to the side.
Huang Yuanwu frowned and looked at the formation diagram in front of him, although he didn't know the formation, but the matter was already very clear.
That's how the enemy fell from the sky.
Through this large-scale formation, this formation can be known by guessing, and it must be used for large-scale teleportation. Such a large-scale teleportation formation had never been seen before by Huang Yuanwu.
Although the Prayer Heaven Empire is in full swing, there are only a handful of people in the court who have the ability to form a formation, and to depict such a complicated teleportation formation, it takes not only people who are proficient in the formation, but also the materials and energy required are not something that ordinary forces can bear. Nuo Da Qi Tian, there is no teleportation array, let alone such a subtle formation that can teleport many people.
Huang Yuanwu stood quietly in front of this big formation, his brows furrowed, this sneak attack was aimed at the Dongwang Mansion, or rather, this was not an attack, but a warning, a warning against himself.
"Damn!" he stretched out his hand and pulled out the Dongwang Sword at his side, and suddenly swung a sword at the formation in front of him.
A majestic red sword qi roared in, and directly cut the formation in front of him into two sections, the spell was destroyed, and the glowing brilliance emanating from the surroundings slowly dissipated.
After returning to the camp, the mess of the camp has been almost cleaned up. The corpses of the enemy were spread out in the camp, and there were thousands of them, and among these thousands, not one survived.
Huang Yuanwu silently glanced at the corpse of the enemy, and then returned to the camp tent, his eyes full of confusion.
