Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 57 Relying on the town fighting method, five hundred kings and grandsons

"You can't just retreat."

When the King of Yue and the others came to the bank of the river and met with General Yu's men, this was the first sentence they said.

He had a broken bone, and under severe pain, sweating all over his face, he still commanded firmly, and said: "Jiuying Daoist said that when he was ambushed before, he encountered dozens of fierce soldiers who could transform into nine-foot bodies. Like a rhinoceros, its appearance is very different from ordinary people, I am afraid that all of them have the courage to charge forward."

"If we want to kill me, we will send more and more people. If we just retreat and are caught up by them, it will be easy for us to lose our armor and lose our armor."

When the King of Yue was arranging matters in the Jiaozhou government, after meeting the seriously injured Jiuying, not long after he heard that Jiuhe had died, he became more vigilant.He mobilized the Diwei army not only to prevent Ma Qiang from counterattacking, but also to deal with those strange and strong giants.

It's a pity that that monster was too powerful when it first came out of the Snake Valley. There are tens of thousands of poisonous snakes and pythons around it, just to protect it. , can make up for the body, eat its fame and wealth, and can make up for luck.

The spooky and greedy majesty scared away the birds and beasts within ten miles, staring at King Yue's team, causing the psychic elephant soldiers to be alert and restless.

After an unstoppable encounter, almost all the troops on both sides were wiped out, only the leader remained.

"Then let's line up to fight and delay until the reinforcements arrive?"

General Yu was by his side, just after replying this sentence, he said with some annoyance, "But the final general has no right to mobilize other soldiers and horses. It will take at least half an hour for the order and distance before they can arrive nearby."

The King of Yue said: "It is necessary to fight, but it is not enough to form an array here. The jungle is dense and dense, and it is difficult to be comprehensive. The river bank is wide and there is no one to rely on. Are there any towns nearby?"

General Yu immediately replied: "Ten miles away..."

"Six miles away!"

With the sound of splashing water, Guan Luoyang came ashore and interrupted General Yu.

He went to wash in the river, and the blood stains on his hair and face had been washed away, but the clothes were not so easy to wash.

The dark blue round-neck clothes, completely soaked in blood and rinsed, now turned into a color similar to ink.

General Yu was puzzled and said: "We brought a map, in all directions, six miles around, where are there any towns?"

Guan Luoyang glanced at him, pressed his palm on his side temple, and said, "You came from the main road, and when I chased him from Snake Valley, I saw a deserted town."

Qiu Shi said from the side: "A few years ago, there was a flood here. Indeed, a town was flooded. Many people were washed away, and the rest were also relocated and never came back."

General Yu said, "But this kind..."

But this kind of abandoned town has been flooded and uninhabited for a long time, so the houses will not be so strong. Although it can barely be used as a support for the deployment of troops, how can it compare with the town ten miles away? that big town?

Walking four miles more can bring you more comprehensive defenses, and even ask the local people to assist in the resistance. This comparison is cost-effective.

He had just begun to speak, and the king of Yue had already raised his hand to tell him not to say any more.

"Brother Biaoyong, if the people in that big town flee in panic and fight back against the sergeant, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

The King of Yue chose the target in one sentence, and said to Guan Luoyang, "It's not too late, young hero Guan, please lead the way."

Among the general's soldiers and horses, there were 56 cavalry first, followed by infantry.

On the way, Qiu Shi and the others passed on spells, and the other groups of people who went to search in the jungle also joined up one after another.

Six miles away, there was indeed an abandoned town.

When there was a flood back then, the water level here was as high as a person's chest, but after all, it has been several years, and now there is no sign of a swamp here.

The ground was overgrown with weeds, and the sun shone on the dusty and mud-covered houses everywhere. Grass grew from the mud in the tiles, and under the light just after noon, it was green and tender.

Many soldiers immediately began to rely on the terrain of the houses to deploy their defenses.

After General Yu's troops dispersed, they walked lightly and came to King Yue.

"My lord, after we fight those bandits later, while their attention is on the battlefield, my lord can go first with a few mages as guards, and join up with the army as soon as possible."

Several mages around looked over with strange expressions.

The King of Yue coughed, and said flatly: "General, I'm afraid you underestimated those people. As long as we leave, the people over there will definitely notice and send out experts to chase and kill them."

"At that time, if we can't resist here, will the general divide his troops to rescue while resisting the bandits?"

After thinking about it, General Yu knew that this approach had too many disadvantages.

He was really afraid that something would happen to the King of Yue Qiansui by his side, so he made such a suggestion. When he was awakened at this moment, his face blushed immediately.

"I will be ashamed at the end."

The King of Yue shook his head and said: "It's okay, you are also sincere. It's just that you need to know that this king is with you in today's battle."

"If the heavens are unfortunate, I will be buried here with you, and my blood will be fused together. If I persist undefeated and even defeat the villains, I will also drink with you, and use gold, silver, silk, and fine wine to comfort this hard work! "

The second half of his words were raised in a high voice, heard far and near, and many soldiers echoed in unison.

The mages have already searched for a place, some silently engraved gossip on the ground, fixed the long banner, and some collected materials nearby, dug out some decayed wooden tables, held earth as a furnace, and inserted incense sticks.

All of them had serious faces, and they looked even more solemn than those soldiers.

If I had known that things would develop to this point, some people might not come. Not every mage is willing to fight and kill. Feng Shui is famous for improving luck and medicine and insects, so it can't be shirked.

But now that King Yue has revealed his identity today, it is impossible for this group of people to run away for the sake of reputation and the future development of their own temple sect.

Guan Luoyang originally found a sunny place, leaning against the wall, rubbing his head, hoping to get rid of that dizzy feeling faster.

But Qiushi brought Taoist Jiuying over, pulled him into the broken house, handed him something, and said, "Eat it."

"what?"

Guan Luoyang took a closer look and said, "Is it the gall of that giant python?"

"That's right, you probably didn't recognize it. In fact, the original body of that monster is the Xiongbo snake. Its head is as thick as its abdomen, and there are black and yellow textures inside the scales. This snake gall is the main material for your medicinal bath. "

Qiu Shi said, "I asked Master, the snake gall of this kind of monster is more powerful than ordinary snake gall by a thousand times, and it is not poisonous."

Daoist Jiuying also said: "Pindao heard that you can swallow the medicinal properties directly, then after you swallow the snake gall, Pindao will use the etheric refining form to protect you. , comparable to a complete medicinal bath for bone training."

When Daoist Jiuying said this, there was still some uncertainty on his face.

After all, a complete medicinal bath for bone training is to take the midnight and noon hours of each day, and last for fifteen days, put the person in a medicine vat and boil it, so that the medicinal power can penetrate into it thoroughly.

Concentrating such medicinal power in a short period of time, even a great boxer who has mastered the second training, I am afraid that he will not be able to make up for the deficiency, and it will be very harmful to the body.

But Qiu Shi told him about Guan Luoyang swallowing dozens of catties of medicinal materials raw, and that's how he persuaded him to come over and try it.

Guan Luoyang took the snake gall that was almost half the size of a palm, and when he looked at it, he felt that it was as dark green as jade, and it seemed to be crystal clear.

Daoist Jiuying sighed: "The enemy is now, and now is definitely not a good time to take medicine and practice kung fu, but the snake gall of this monster is unusual, and its effectiveness is lost quickly. It is only useful if you take it now. There are advantages and disadvantages, or It's up to you to decide."

Guan Luoyang asked: "After I eat it, can't I fight for a short time?"

Daoist Jiuying said: "It mainly depends on your ability to withstand, but at least half an hour, you will be hit by the power of the medicine, making it difficult to make a move."

"Half a quarter of an hour, endurance..."

Guan Luoyang felt the dizzy and swollen temples, and the blurred and hot eyes.

If he goes to fight in this state now, I am afraid that many loopholes will be added.

Closing and opening his eyes, Guan Luoyang made a decision, "It's just time, I'll fight with it."

Qiu Shi reminded: "Don't chew it, the bitter taste of the snake gall may be physically unacceptable, so swallow it whole."

Guan Luoyang nodded, made some adjustments, and swallowed the snake gall in one gulp, his Adam's apple slipped, and the snake gall entered his stomach with a grunt, as if it had been squeezed.

Suddenly, a bitter taste that made people feel burning rose from the stomach.

Guan Luoyang's face suddenly changed.

'Depend on!How could there be something so unpalatable in the world? ! ! ! '

Although he had already been reminded, Guan Luoyang still couldn't hold back when he really tasted the taste.

It was too unexpected.

His dizzy brain was suddenly awakened, and he even felt that every strand of his hair was suffering.

Only when he gritted his teeth tightly, fell to the ground, pressed his abdomen, and curled up, could Guan Luoyang guarantee that he would not spit out all the things in one gulp.

He felt that his stomach began to throb, the blue bird vitality was stimulated, surged, flowed along his ribs, and came into contact with the burning pain in his stomach.

The bitterness was reduced, but the endless flow of heat began to be drawn out by the blue bird's vitality, like a boiling wave, expanding and slapping from his stomach to his whole body wave after wave.

Taoist Jiuying recited the incantation at the right time, put his four fingers together, and poked various acupoints on Guan Luoyang's back from time to time, walking around with his feet, the soles of his shoes crushed the weeds in the dilapidated house, and outlined lines like spells Mark of.

The magic power is operated, and through the law of the spell, it meets the natural energy.

This piece of weedy ground, this whole dilapidated house, seems to be connected as one, turning into a medicine furnace.

Qiu Shi's body was pushed out of the broken room, and the broken wooden door automatically sucked and closed, shaking off a layer of dust.

Fine dust was flying in the sun, and the ground began to vibrate slightly.

This time, the source of the tremor was far away.

Qiu Shi turned his head to look, and saw hundreds of cloaked figures rushing towards him a hundred feet outside the town.

As they ran, their bodies swelled, and with each step they ran out, they were a head taller than before, and their cloaks were thrown off.

When these people turned into huge bodies nine feet high, all they had left was some extremely malleable leather, which protected the joints of the waist, hips and limbs. The iron-blue skin was exposed in a large area. outer.

Shields the size of the entire torso of an ordinary person were taken out from behind their backs.

The charge initiated by hundreds of humans seemed like a large herd of bison was about to migrate, like a herd of elephants running, and the soil on the ground was kicked up with a lot of dust, like a long yellow dragon rushing towards.

The King of Yue was originally sitting on a chair, resting against the withered door frame, seeing this scene, he lost his composure and crushed the rotten wood at hand.

"There are so many..."

The number of these nine-foot giants is much more than he expected. If there is no Diwei Army, I am afraid that it will be the land of the three nearby prefectures. Five thousand six hundred soldiers will have to pay a very heavy price. against it.

With such a force, it is not impossible to directly attack and occupy a territory.

The tremors on the ground were getting closer and closer, but the soldiers guarding the forefront of the town launched a thrilling attack first.

Boom boom boom boom! ! ! !

The sound of gunpowder exploding overwhelmed the sound of the nine-foot giant running wildly.

The more than five hundred people brought by General Yu were originally just to welcome the King of Yue, so naturally they did not bring many heavy firearms, and most of the firearms and gunpowder bags carried by the elephants were trampled and damaged when they were entangled with the snakes, and were stained with blood. The river gets wet.

There were only thirty or so cannons, which were still in good condition and easy to transport, and they were brought to this abandoned town together.

Fortunately, according to the regulations of the Jiaozhi Army, in each centurion except cavalry, there must be ten musketeers, 20 crossbowmen, 30 card swordsmen, and 40 pikemen.

These musketeers have also practiced loading and firing cannons on weekdays. Even if they are not as proficient as artillerymen, at least they can use those artillery pieces.

The mother cannon is divided into the mother cannon and the sub-cannon. The mother cannon is five feet three long and weighs 95 catties. The front of the cannon is thin and the back is thick.

There is an open-shaped charge chamber on the rear belly of the gun, which can install the gun.

Zipao is like a hollow cylinder, weighing eight catties, containing two taels of gunpowder and five taels of iron.

Each mother cannon is equipped with five sub-cannons, and multiple people take turns to load ammunition. When in use, the sub-cannons can be fired by loading the sub-cannons on the mother cannon. The rate of fire is much faster than that of ordinary cannons.

When each cannon is fired, a large number of tiny projectiles are sprayed out, and the coverage is so wide that it is almost inevitable.

When dozens of cannons were fired one after another, like bullets from a rainstorm, the charging giants were knocked down row by row.

But the remaining giants were still charging.

What was even more frightening was that more than half of the people who were knocked down by the bullets got up unsteadily again.

It can be clearly seen that there are many bullets embedded in their flesh, but as long as they don't directly hit the face, eyes and other vital points, the wounds in other places don't even bleed much.

Master Forbidden Lantern carried an oil lamp, and several mages who were usually of the same status as him surrounded him as a support.

"Crisis is an opportunity, okay, okay, this kind of battle situation, today is the time when the old monk is making a big splash."

Master Ban Deng was nervous and excited. With the help of several mages around him, he blew the oil lamp into the sky.

The green poisonous flame suddenly rose, and returned to the state of being as big as a bean.

But on the arrowheads of the rows of archers in front, green flames ignited out of thin air.

General Yu shouted at the same time: "Shoot!"

Round after round of arrows with poisonous fire shot out, many of them were blocked by shields, even if they landed on the bodies of some nine-foot giants, the arrows could not break their skin.

However, if it has been wounded by artillery before, and there are damaged places on the body, as soon as those poisonous rockets hit the surface of the body, the flames will travel a few feet along the skin like a poisonous snake, looking for gaps to burrow into.

When smoke came out of the nine-foot giant's eyes, it proved that the poisonous fire had burned the heart veins from the body, and the running figure immediately fell to the ground.

The rain of poisonous rockets burned dozens of nine-foot giants to death, and the actual battle damage caused was even a little more than the previous artillery attack.

But after being baptized by artillery and bows and arrows, the nine-foot giant has already rushed out of the formation, very close at hand.

A mother cannon was directly knocked over by them, and many archers had no time to dodge.

But after they broke through the positions of artillery and archers, they broke into the town, and there were dilapidated houses everywhere, and there was no one there.

Suddenly, the sky turned red, and meteorites fell one after another, bombarding these nine-foot giants.

Many nine-foot giants rushed into the battle from the north, and on the west side of the town, on the roof, a few broken wooden tables formed an altar.

Six feng shui masters, dressed as monks and secularists, looked down at the battlefield over there from a condescending position, and cast spells together.

One of the old scholars wearing a square scarf shouted in a low voice: "This old man imitated the old things of Han Guangwu and bombarded the enemy with meteors from the sky. It seems fake and real. At least it should be able to kill dozens of people. How come these people are not affected by the illusion?" damage?!"

Master Gao Dian stood on the ridge of the roof, the sackcloth wrapped around the staff in his hand was emitting smoke one by one, even showing signs of burning.

He looked at his family's century-old treasure with distress, and said, "Blinding these people's vision is far more expensive than expected. What method did they use to cultivate such a monster?"

In the battlefield, many soldiers with spears are active.

Taking advantage of the blindness of these nine-foot giants, they stabbed their spears from the genitals and anus of the giants, and some tried to stab the eyes of these giants.

But the toughness of these giants' flesh is really too much, some of the spears piercing the lower part of the body, only half of the spear head is caught, and the nine-foot giant is in pain, and with a wave of the shield, the spearman will be shot to death.

Only a few hundred households and General Yu were able to kill with one blow.

Great Master Yang Lian, Master Yuan Yuan, etc. also directly acted in the battlefield.

While the red monk's robe fluttered, Grand Master Yang Lian slapped a nine-foot giant with three fire lotus seals. Finally, fire light shot out from the giant's seven orifices and rose to the top of his head.

But after the nine-foot giant fell, the fire above his head continued to burn for a while.

"Clearly there is Yin Qi, but the joints can move freely. It is not a corpse monster. There is even a little real Yang in the Yin Qi, which can burn for so long."

Grand Master Yanglian glanced up and down, only to see that the nine-foot giant had several lines of incantations engraved on it from the chin down the throat to the upper abdomen, but its color was very similar to the iron-blue complexion. , are difficult to distinguish.

Those spells are like the traces of bugs crawling, like Sanskrit and Chinese mixed together, but there are many mistakes and omissions, and the meaning can only be guessed from a few glyphs.

"Dong Tianwang's grandson?"

Dong Tianwang is also called Fu Dong Tianwang and Chongtian God King. According to the local myths and legends in Nanyang, he lived in Wenlang Kingdom during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. He was born three years ago and could not speak or sit or stand.

But when the king was recruiting warriors, his appetite suddenly increased. In a day and night, he grew from a baby to a giant. With the power of one person, he could defeat an army of Yin Shang.

"Cut the land and divide the borders, and be king with bravery!"

A woman's voice came.

Master Yang Lian looked up, looking across the battlefield, and saw the female owl Hua Mi leading a group of warlocks approaching more than 50 feet away.

"These five hundred princes and grandchildren want to inherit the ancient fortune, split the toes, and give birth to a new king."

Master Yang Lian raised his beard, counted with his hands behind his back, and said disdainfully, "Dong Tianwang is just a illusory legend. These nine-foot giants, although their skin, flesh and bones have been infiltrated and changed, they are not born after all. Why? Can you hide it from my eyes?"

"After they turned into nine-foot bodies, their heads became bigger, but their brains didn't. They just relied on a little vitality from the yang of the yin to fill the gaps, so that the brains would not be shaken evenly. Such evil methods , dare to pretend to be a grandson?"

Hanami's face changed slightly, and she leapt forward and stabbed straight with the sword.

Yang Lian came forward to fight, and shouted violently: "Disrupt the balance of the two qi in their minds."

Qiu Shi, Qiu Di and others, Master Ban Deng, Mrs. A Ze, Master Xu Luo, etc., all heard this voice.

Everyone rushed to the Fengshui platform on the west side of the roof.

If it is to operate subtle and ingenious feng shui illusions, shield the five senses, etc., then of course it is not that the more people the better.

But if it's just a simple and rude disturbance of the Yin energy in the giant's brain, these mages only need to transfer their mana to the Feng Shui platform and release it.

Except for Yanglian and Jiuying, all mages gathered around this room.

The colorful paper clothes rattled in the wind, and Grandpa Huangtou also came to the house, swinging the small ax in his sleeve.

The ax blade was embedded in a post in the back wall of the house, cutting only an inch.

But when he pulled out the axe, the sound of cracking continuously spread throughout the entire house from this position.

The moment everyone realized something was wrong, the whole room fell apart, and the Feng Shui table was broken.

In the northern part of the town, thousands of people are fighting in a melee.

Suddenly, many nine-foot giants regained their eyesight, their eyes were bloodshot, and they swung their shields wildly.

In an instant, more than half of the five hundred soldiers were lost.

Blood splattered, creatures disappeared, walls and houses collapsed, and broken tiles flew around.

Huangtou Taigong's old eyes are dizzy and his eyesight is declining. In fact, he can't see many things clearly.

Just by feeling, listening to the screams and screams near and far, feeling the atmosphere of this moment.

He sighed, and raised the hatchet a second time.

The ax fell, and the old eyes opened wide, full of murderous aura.
