Chapter 56: Attack 1
Ma Ming, who was preparing to attack the formation, was thinking in his heart. Today's offensive formation, the forbidden formation in the hospital has been changed to be able to enter and exit. In this way, he can be discharged from the hospital to attack the siege array, and be ready to withdraw to the defense array in the courtyard at any time, in case Baishamen rushes in from outside the siege array and attacks the Ma family monks. Relying on the courtyard formation, the Ma family can still advance or retreat, attack or defend.
And the most suitable attack point is the closest place for the siege formation to the front yard formation gate. The monks of the Ma family only need to go out of the gate of the front yard, go straight across the bluestone road more than ten zhang away, and attack the siege array.
However, in this way, it is necessary to send people to guard the gate of the backyard strictly to prevent the monks who infiltrate the courtyard from hijacking the disciples in the backyard and bringing in strong enemies. Ma Ming had received reports that some people had left their homes in the backyard and had not returned, and suspected that Wang Xian was likely holding him hostage in order to enter and exit.
Ma Ming pondered the strength comparison again. There are still twenty-nine monks in the Ma family, and three early and middle monks should be divided to guard the backyard gate of the defense array in the courtyard, and the rest of the monks will be divided into two groups to take turns attacking the siege array. When one group attacked, the other group had to protect the Dharma for it, in case Baishamen suddenly broke into the trapped formation and attacked the Ma family.
There were a total of forty monks in Baishamen, and in addition to those who stayed behind at the main gate, a maximum of thirty-seven or eight people were dispatched, which was basically poured out of the nest and joined the siege. The main force of the Ma family, there are nine monks at the end of Qi refining, and there are ten people in Baishamen, and the number of main monks is not much different.
If Baishamen wants to annihilate the Ma family, at most it will win a miserable victory, and the Ma family has the strength to fight out more than 20 people on the other side. In that way, Baishamen will inevitably become an unpopular sect, unable to hold such a large territory, and will eventually be annexed and divided by many small families and small sects of more than ten people in the city near Rongwan City.
It stands to reason that the main forces of the two sides still exist, and Baishamen will not fight like this, unless it is reinforced by Huatianzong and has a comprehensive advantage. However, Fenglingzong is not a vegetarian, and has always had a secretly restrained relationship with Huatianzong.
Judging from the many battles in the past, as long as the disciples of Fengling Sect are there, the disciples of Huatian Sect will not intervene in the battle of the White Horse and consume their strength, but will only be responsible for containing the disciples of Fengling Sect with all their might. The strength of the disciples of the Seven Great Sects is two or three percent higher than that of ordinary monks, and their morale is also high, and they are unwilling to depreciate themselves against each other.
The monks of Yunbeifang City, I don't know if they have arrived, are waiting nearby, I hope so. Ma Ming was quite confident in the timely arrival of Fengling Sect, because the cooperation had been for a long time. Yunbeifang City is difficult to say, although it is closer to the Ma family, but these scattered cultivators do not belong to each other, often change people, follow the surname, and it was too early and sometimes late in the past.
He didn't know that the scattered cultivation in Yunbei Fang City had been swallowed, but he didn't know that Huatian Sect had only sent one Qi Refining Terminal disciple instead of five or six Qi Refining Terminal disciples.
The Ma family's action began. Ma Ming sent two mid-stage Qi refining and one early Qi refining monk to guard the backyard gate. Send the other monks out of the front yard gate, on the bluestone road, and divide into two groups. Each group of four end-stage Qi refining monks is the main force, with other Qi refining early and middle stage monks, one group attacking, one group protecting the Dharma in the rear, and at any time to guard against Baishamen breaking into the trapped array and attacking.
The two groups had a round of three hours, and each of them brought enough elixirs and high-grade spirit stones to recover their mana as soon as possible during the rotation. Ma Ming himself stood behind the front yard gate, commanded the attack in the center, and monitored the situation at the backyard gate.
The divine consciousness and transmission in the Great Array of the Guardian Courtyard have been set up to transmit from the inside to the outside until they are blocked by the Siege Array. But don't look inside from the outside to avoid being detected by your opponent. Ma Ming was in the defense array of the compound, commanding the monks to attack the enemy, but he could be safe.
At this time, in Rongwan City, Zhu Renzhi on the top floor of the inn, since the appearance of the disciples of Fengling Sect, sent a Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivator to patrol back and forth in front of the Ma Family's siege array, so as to find out the opponent's breaking formation fluctuation point in time. When the siege array is attacked, especially in the early stage of the attack, it is difficult to detect the fluctuation point. As the attack lasts longer, the fluctuation becomes more apparent.
Zhu Renzhi knew that if he found out the fluctuation point, he found out where the disciples of Fengling Sect must be saved, and also found out where Baishamen must be blocked. Zhu Renzhi was a little strange, the team of monks of Huatian Sect did not choose to face the monks of the Fengling Sect this time, but chose to face the powerful Ma family in the siege array.
And Zhu Renzhi has no opinion on relying on the power of Baishamen to block Fenglingzong. There is a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, and it is still easy to repel them.
In the Fengling Sect outside the city, Cao Xudong was also secretly guessing where the disciples of Huatianzong were hiding, whether they were in the siege array, or were they hiding in the city? In the past, the two sides had already faced each other, so why didn't they come forward this time? His intuition was that the disciples of Huatianzong must be here, and Baishamen did not have the strength to trap the Ma family and occupy an advantage.
With this question in mind, Cao Xudong rode a crane every two or three hours to fly to the siege array in front of the Ma family's courtyard, and then flew around Rongwan City to check the movement, and his divine sense continued to sweep through Rongwan City, but he still didn't find anything.
Except for the addition of a patrolling Baishamen Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivator in front of the formation, everything was the same as when he first came. This time, Wang Xian's strategy worked, and the more no monks were found in the city, the more suspicious Fengling Sect became, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
The Rongwan city group has been completed, the mountain rain is coming, and the atmosphere is strange. Occasionally, the people heard a crane chirping, which resounded in the sky, and looked up, only to see a white shadow floating in the sky, and they couldn't see what it really was.
There was calm outside the formation, but it was full of excitement inside the formation. Twelve hours passed, and another fine morning. The Ma family's attacking monks each attacked with all their strength for six hours, and despite the help of rotational pranayama and spirit stone elixir, the mana still consumed more than one percent, and the remaining less than ninety percent.
The front yard gate and the backyard gate are about three miles apart, and any movement will be quickly discovered. Ma Ming believes that the two Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators who died quickly in the backyard died from the sneak attack of the infiltrating monks, and even the missing family members are not necessarily annihilated.
This time, he sent a mid-stage Qi refining and two early-stage Qi refining monks to be carefully guarded at the small gate of the backyard, and he had been careful to investigate in the front yard, and he should be able to guard the courtyard gate, as long as the courtyard gate is not lost, the infiltrator will not be able to make big waves.
Soon, another six hours passed, and it was getting dark. At this time, the mana of the Ma family's attacking monks was still a little more than eighty percent. Wang first came out of the granary, used the land escape charm again, sneaked to the backyard gate, and launched an attack on the three inner sentry posts.
When the three of them were attacked by Wang Xian, one of the early stage Qi refining monks stood in the small room behind the formation gate, and the other two stood outside the room with their backs to the small open door of the courtyard facing the courtyard, standing outside the room and facing the courtyard to guard against it.
Wang Xian took advantage of the night and rushed out of the ground. He was a cultivator at the end of Qi refining, and with his relatively strong mana, it was more than enough to defeat the three of them. But he knew that from the moment the ground appeared, the monk guarding the front yard had his eyes on him, and he had to fight quickly.
Wang Xian instantly swung out the three talismans that had already been held in his hand, the Fire Phoenix Talisman attacked the mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivator, the Fire Fox Talisman attacked the Early Qi Refining Cultivator in the room, the Golden Needle Talisman attacked another Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivator, and his own low-level Xuan Weapon Golden Sword also stabbed at the mid-Qi Refining Cultivator.
