Chapter 57 Sword Array Strangling
Previously, Ning Chen wanted to rescue her daughter because she found out that her daughter was possessed, but she was seriously injured by Ning Xiaoxiao, who lost her mind and almost lost her life.

Once the war is over, he intends to continue to find his daughter and help her drive away the possessed objects, so as to restore her sanity, but with his ability, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not fail again.

As a last resort, he could only risk his life to ask Feng Qingzi to take action.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen had a headache and couldn't help raising his hand and rubbing his eyebrows heavily.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Above the head of Pingling Pass, the King of Guangliang pressed his sword in his hand and looked at the mighty army of Jin that was marching in front of him.

He has been waiting for the day of this decisive battle for a long time.

I saw a wave of his palm, and a loud horn sounded above the city head.

Above the city wall, huge black lacquer crossbows were pushed to the front of the parapet, and the spiral arrows reflecting the dark luster stuck out of the parapet and pointed straight ahead.

These more than [-] crossbows were designed by Situ Hao himself and made by the superintendent of craftsmanship.

There are some strange spiritual patterns engraved on the crossbow and the arrows, which are not exactly the same. Some are rock-breaking amulet, some are fire and rain meteor charms, and some are ice arrows and rain charms... There are many kinds, and so on. .

In the previous wars, such weapons have never appeared, at most only on some special bows and arrows, inscribed with runes, used by some soldiers or sharpshooters in the army, or assassinated at close range, Or a long-range sneak attack, mainly aimed at some of the other cultivators.

Therefore, these specially-made crossbows are considered to be the same soldiers of the Yue Kingdom.

However, for the King of Guangliang and the Kingdom of Yue, their biggest reliance was not this thing, but a large sword formation jointly controlled and held by seven monks at the foundation-building stage.

The person who secretly refined this sword formation is Situ Hao. He did not hesitate to spend his own cultivation as the price to gather all the top-quality magic swords accumulated in the sword refining conferences over the years. Among the seven categories of "Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind and Thunder", seven main swords were selected for each.

After having the seven main swords as introductions, he selected 49 top-grade magic swords from various attributes as auxiliary swords, and refined a total of 350 magic swords into this large-scale magic sword named "Trapping Immortal". Sword array.

With the power of the "Falling Immortal" sword formation, he can easily strangle a light-armored cavalry, and in terms of function, it can be regarded as a heavy-armored infantry.

Of course, its main function is to trap and kill the cultivators of the Jin State. Although these people are small in number, they can produce far more destructive power than ordinary troops when they are equipped with a suitable top-quality magic sword.

King Guangliang looked into the distance, looking at the army of Jin, but saw that it was divided into four divisions.

In front of them is a heavy armored infantry with a number of about [-] and wearing black armor. Most of them are holding halberds and shields, and they are slowly advancing towards Pingling Pass. Siege equipment such as climbing ladders and ramming hammers.

Followed by a light armored infantry army with a number of nearly 50, most of them were not equipped with shields, but only carried short crossbows or longbows with them, and held short weapons such as swords in their hands.

On its left and right flanks, there are [-] light-armored cavalry cruising on each side, all of which spread out to both sides in a fan shape. From time to time, dozens of cavalry swept out of the army formation and ran for a few miles to the left and right. After the enemy's situation, he returned on horseback.

As the shadow cast by the city wall on the ground gradually shortened, the Jin army gradually moved to a mile away from Pingling Pass.

When they got here, instead of stopping their horses, they suddenly accelerated, as if they were going to take Pingling Pass in one fell swoop.

"My lord, here, do you want it?" The middle-aged advisor stepped forward and reminded.

"There is an order in the army, don't you know that those who retreat before battle will die?" King Guangliang's eyes darkened and he scolded coldly.

"Yes, yes!" The middle-aged counselor heard the words, his body trembled, and his neck shrank back.

The cultivators who were standing in the back were watching, some didn't care, and some showed a little contempt.

They were all loose cultivators in the mountains, and they were willing to take the risk and participate in this battlefield slaughter related to the fortune of the country because they saw the top-quality magic sword given by the imperial court as a reward.

But after getting along for the past few days, they sincerely admired the high-ranking King of Guangliang in front of them.

First, because he was a peak Qi-refining cultivator, and he was half a fellow with them, and secondly, he was convinced by his calm and calm aura in the face of danger. .

After scolding the advisors, the King of Guangliang didn't care about anything, but stared at the movements of the Jin army.

"Their central army has entered the range of the bed crossbow, send the order down and activate the bed crossbow." Suddenly, he turned to look at the messenger beside him and shouted loudly.

The latter turned around immediately and trotted away.

Immediately afterwards, a loud horn sounded, and sparks suddenly splashed on the wall of Pingling Pass.

The sound of an iron axe slashing the rope and hitting the stone platform sounded, and the bowstrings of the bed crossbow that had been stretched before suddenly loosened and bounced forward.

The huge arrows mounted on the crossbow machine suddenly shot towards the Jin army with a "swoosh" sound.

More than a hundred huge arrows whizzed past, and the runes engraved on them suddenly brightened, and they began to explode with astonishing power.

I saw that in the sky, a group of colorful lights burst apart. Among them, there were not only crimson fireballs as large as human heads that did not fly down, but also sharp ice crystals flew down obliquely, and there were pieces of brown rocks "rumbling". Smashing down... the momentum is huge and shocking.

One after another, the fireballs fell down, and immediately smashed the heavy armored infantry of the Jin State holding their shields. Before they could stand firm, the bursting flames bounced off, instantly killing them. swallowed in.

The huge ice crystal on the other side smashed on the shield of the heavily armored infantry, like a sharp-edged steel knife, immediately pierced the shield surface, and cut off half of the body of the soldier behind, transparent and white ice crystals. On the top, dyed with bright red blood, it is extremely strange.

On the left flank of the army, a huge brown rock fell directly on the front of the light-armored cavalry, tumbling and moving for more than ten meters.

Under this wave of attacks, the advance of the Jin army was frustrated and the speed slowed down.

……

at the same time.

On the northern border of Vietnam, there is a small border town called "Chongyang City".

At the gate of the city, a middle-aged man dressed as a peasant with a well-proportioned body, carrying a hoe with a locust wood handle on his shoulder and a gray cloth sack hanging on it, walked out of the city hunched over.

When he was at the gate, he slightly raised his head and glanced at the wanted red list posted on the notice board at the city gate, shook his head slowly, and continued walking along the yellow sand road outside the city.

He kept his pace all the way, always keeping the pace of an ordinary person, and walked back to a bamboo building in the bamboo forest outside the city.

Inside the building, a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth and a white-robed man with curly hair on his forehead greeted them one after the other.

"Second Master, how is it, is there any news?" the girl asked with hope.

"Our wanted order has not been revoked. I heard from the chamber of commerce in the city that the business to the Jin country was completely cut off more than two months ago, and now we don't even go to the border of Pingling Pass. I want to come. Most of the armies of the two countries have already fought there." The middle-aged man dressed as a farmer said.

They are none other than Yan Xiang, Xiao Abacus and Chen Guang.

"What about Miss and Big Brother Tie? Is there any news about them?" Little Abacus asked anxiously.

Yan Xiang put down the hoe in his hand, took down the sack containing the grain, and shook his head silently.

"The wanted order has not been revoked, which means that the young lady and the others did not fall into the hands of the imperial court. Now that the war broke out, the imperial court should not be able to tell how much they wanted to hunt them down, which is not bad news. Besides, the young lady and Tie Jian are resourceful and resourceful. , there will definitely be no danger, you can rest assured." Chen Guang said with relief after pondering for a while.

"Miss, Big Brother Tie..." Although Xiao Abacus knew what he said was right, he still couldn't help but worry.

……

Outside Pingling Pass.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Just listening to the sound of drums, it sounded from a high platform in the middle army of the Jin Army, and the cavalry on both sides immediately spread out towards the two wings, still fan-shaped, but the distance between them was widened.

The heavy armored infantry at the front was divided into groups of dozens of people, and they were quickly divided into small teams, and there was some distance between them. As for the light armored infantry at the rear, they simply stopped. Completely distanced himself from the team in front.

"How could this fellow Zhao Xiang make this arrangement? Is it really just a second-generation ancestor who talks on paper?" King Guangliang looked at the changes in the formation of Jin's army and pondered to himself.

After a while, he chuckled and ordered: "Continue to activate the crossbow and use all the arrows."

Following his order, the crossbow that had just been drawn on the city wall immediately placed a second round of arrows and shot out in salvo.

Although the Jin army opened a little distance, it only played a role in reducing casualties a little, and the losses were still heavy.

Seeing that Jin's heavy armored infantry had been damaged by nearly half, and at the same time, they had opened a considerable distance from the light armored infantry behind, and King Guangliang couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face, and continued to order:
"Send the order, open the city gate, and go out to meet the attack! The [-] cavalry just rushed forward, completely disrupting the formation of the opponent's heavy-armored infantry, and the [-] light-armored infantry followed closely to harvest the heads. Remember, you are not allowed to fight with the two-winged cavalry. entangled."

"Yes!" The messenger led the way.

"My lord, when our army enters the position, will the crossbow continue to be activated?" The middle-aged counselor hesitated for a moment, but stepped forward and asked.

"Continue to stimulate until it runs out." King Guangliang said without the slightest hesitation.

As long as the crossbow and arrows on this side did not stop, the light-armored infantry of the Jin state would not dare to go forward easily, and the heavy-armored infantry in front of it had already been disturbed, and they were not the opponents of the Yueguo infantry at all. Great heads.

"Kill it!"

With the sound of a machine, the heavy gate of Pingling Pass finally opened slowly. A cavalry took the lead and rushed forward, followed by the dense black armored infantry, also holding weapons. , rushed out.
