The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 497

"I plan to go to Xiangyang in person to meet Zhao Yu, the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty." At this point, Kublai Khan's eyes suddenly brightened, but he smiled slightly again, "Twin stars shine, after all, they cannot be side by side. Two tigers in the mountains, How can there be peaceful coexistence,"

"Your Majesty, no," Wu Liang Hetai hurriedly dissuaded, "There are famous generals such as Ashu and Boyan sitting in front of Xiangyang. According to the wishes of the gods, they should be able to complete the task. The emperor is a man of gold, how can he be so easy?" On the battlefield,"

"General Wuliang Hetai, I have been on the battlefield for a long time. What's more, the appearance of firearms has changed the trajectory and mode of war. I need to go and see for myself what the firearms are and how powerful they are."

Yin Tianya said: "Since Da Khan intends to conquer in person, then the deity will accompany Da Khan and go to Xiangyang again."

"Okay, with the company of His Excellency, I will be more worry-free. Wuliang will join the stage, and the affairs of the Privy Council will be handed over to you. Remember, all armies are not allowed to act rashly, especially at the gates of the east and west. You must take strict precautions. In addition, you ordered the East Route Army to not only prevent Li Tingzhi from going north, but also send a thousand cavalry troops who are familiar with the terrain to assist Eji, and must destroy this lone army of the Southern Dynasty."

"Yes, I obey the order,"

"General Wuliang Hetai, please reply to Ashu and Boyan immediately. If the fortress of Lumen Mountain cannot be defended, the army will transfer to the fortress of Baihe Castle. I will set off from Dadu in three days and arrive in Xiangyang before July [-]th. Before I arrive , the Central Route Army is mainly defensive,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

"Emperor Master, during my absence, you will be in charge of the government affairs of the court for the time being,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey the order,"

Kublai Khan finally said: "Everything will be finalized after the Battle of Xiangyang,"

At noon on June 26th, there was no cloud in the sky, no wind, and a hot sun hung high in the sky. The hot sun shot down to the ground like a rocket, and all the trees and weeds were listless. nowhere to be found.

Only, within the five-party formation in front of the Yuan army's camp, there is still smog, and such strong sunlight cannot penetrate into it.

Facing the scorching heat, the Song army sent troops to Lumen Mountain again, preparing to attack the ground formation in the five-square formation. Unlike the previous few times, it was no longer Gongsun Xiaochen who gave the order, but me, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty .

The reason is very simple, the general who led the team to break the formation was not someone else, but Fang Ling. No matter how courageous Gongsun Xiaochen was, he would not dare to issue orders to the Great Song Emperor, although Fang Ling and I didn't mind.

Of course, I was only playing the role of setter, and the specific methods of breaking the formation were all formulated by Gongsun Xiaochen.

In front of the five-square formation, I ordered: "Fang Ling listens to the order,"

Fang Ling, who was wearing a battle armor, said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the last general is here,"

"I order you to lead 110 personal guards, and attack the ground formation according to the plan, without any mistakes,"

"Yes, the end will be ordered,"

The ground carrier formation is one of the two main formations of the five square formations. The main position, Kun, belongs to the wounded gate in the eight formations, and has great attack power. The attack power of the defenders in the formation can be doubled, but, As far as the formation is concerned, Boyan's cultivation is still far from enough, and this five-square formation was laid out hastily, so the attack power of the guards in the formation can only be increased by one to two at most. In addition, you can't put too many people in the formation, otherwise it will affect the power of the entire five-square formation. The formation of the practitioners is completely different from that of the general army. The fewer people in the formation, the more powerful it is. Like Zhuge Liang's eight formations, there is no one in it.

As for the ground formation, Gongsun Xiaochen said that if you want to break it, you need to use the master of Yin as the general.

In the entire Great Song Army, there is only Fang Ling, a female general, and Fang Ling is highly skilled in martial arts, smart and clever, so she is the best candidate to break through the formation. Difficult to handle, unpredictable in size, infinite in use, irresistible in independence, and matched with Yang.

Although there are only 110 people who broke the formation, including Fang Fangling, all of these people are masters. To be on the safe side, I specially asked Wen Zhang, Shen Mo, Zhang Quanyi and other masters to accompany me.

Fang Ling couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, nodded to me, held a sword, and led more than 100 personal guards to the ground formation. Ling and the others are highly skilled and bold, even if the difficulty of attacking the ground formation is greater than that of the other three formations, they are fearless.

There are twelve small formations in the ground formation, corresponding to the twelve zodiac signs such as rat and ox. Each formation is guarded by twelve soldiers of the same zodiac sign and is located in the center of the formation eyes. The leader of the twelve formations must have a birth date from From January to December, for example, the 12 people in the rat formation are all born in the zodiac of the rat, and the leader of them needs to be born in January.

Let's say that after Fang Ling and the others entered the ground formation, they only felt that the wind was blowing and the cold air was seeping through them. Fortunately, everyone was good at it, so they didn't feel anything. After walking straight forward for dozens of steps, they saw a vertical wall not far in front of them. Huge flag, this flag has almost no flagpole part, about five meters high, the graphic on it is a giant rat with a bloody mouth, its shape occupies 11% of the entire flag space, and there are twelve Mongolians under the banner The soldiers, the leader saw the Song army rushing into the formation, and immediately waved a small red flag. Immediately, the other [-] people also waved the red flags in their hands at the same time. In an instant, Fang Ling and others felt a stronger wind blowing. Come on, the blow made all the soldiers dizzy, and when they looked intently, they saw countless ghosts spit out from the mouth of the giant rat in the banner, and they rushed towards Song Jun as soon as they hit the ground. , and his mouth is full of filth, unspeakable disgust.

"Witchcraft is nothing more than mediocrity," Fang Ling said with a sneer, "The first team, take the willow branches, and you can disperse the three souls and seven souls of these ghosts."

"Yes," the 36 members of the first team each took out a willow branch and rushed towards the ghosts. As soon as these fierce ghosts touched the willow branches, they immediately turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared from everyone's sight. middle.

When the guards saw Song Jun taking out willow branches, they knew something was wrong, and they didn't care about the number of people. They waved their flags and rushed over with swords at the same time.

"Well done, General Wen, you lead the second team to meet the enemy," Fang Ling ordered.

Although the attack power of the twelve Mongolian cowardly Xue troops has been enhanced by the formation, they are no longer the enemy of Wen Zhang and others. After a while, on the premise of not injuring anyone, the guards of the second team will attack Twelve Mongolian defenders fell to the ground.

Seeing that all the enemy soldiers guarding the eye of the formation were killed, the members of the first team threw all the willow branches in their hands to the giant mouse on the big banner.

Just like a bullet was shot, each willow branch hitting the giant rat on the flag made holes like gun holes in the giant rat figure, and blood-like dark red viscous flowed out of it.

When the No.30 six willow branches hit the figure of the giant rat, the banner collapsed to the ground with a bang.

"Okay, burn the demon flag," Fang Ling ordered again seeing the big red flag burnt to ashes, "Masters, keep moving forward."

According to the plan formulated by Gongsun Xiaochen, Fang Ling led the crowd to use different magical weapons to destroy the formations of cattle, tigers, horses, and dogs one after another, and the flags representing the eyes of the formations were set on fire by the Song army.

As the small formations in the ground formation were broken one by one, the visibility of the entire formation was getting higher and higher, and everyone didn't care to check where they were, but just continued to move forward.

The Haizhu Formation, which is farthest from the other eleven formations, is about half an hour away from the nearest Xugou Formation. When he arrived at the Haizhu Formation, Fang Ling said: "Okay, only this last formation is left. , once the Haizhu Formation is broken, this ground formation will be completely finished."

The slightly different thing is that in the Haizhu formation, there are mountains of bones and piles of corpses. Except for a small open space under the flag, which is clean and dry, the rest is full of river water, but the river is made of blood, blocking everyone's way.

From a distance, except for a big, strangely shaped pig on the banner, the rest of the scenes have nothing to do with pigs.

Fang Ling took out a talisman from his bosom, put it on the long sword, and muttered something in his mouth. After a while, sparks burst out from the talisman, turned into ashes and fell into the river on the ground.

There was almost no pause. When the blood river encountered the spell of turning into ashes, it immediately disappeared, and the speed of disappearing was extremely fast. It didn't take long for the blood river in the entire Haizhu formation to disappear. At the same time, a pile of The pile of bones and corpses also disappeared without a trace.

"This Xiaochen really has a few tricks, and a small charm broke the Haizhu formation," Fang Ling praised, "Attack,"

Of course, Fang Ling didn't know that this spell was not owned by Gongsun Xiaochen, but a spell made by Gongsun Ang, the master of the Emperor's Valley Art Hall, which took ten years to make.

Gongsun Xiaochen, who had been watching the formation all the time, said: "Your Majesty, the Concubine Ling is done,"

As soon as the voice fell, the smoke in the ground formation cleared away. Fang Ling and more than 100 people appeared in the eyes of everyone out of thin air like props of a magician. Behind them, the last main formation of the five square formation The sky-covering formation also showed its face, but in my opinion, it was just a cloud of smoke.

Fang Ling led the crowd back to me, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the last general Fang Ling has completed his mission."

"Okay, I will reward you for your merits,"

Fang Ling laughed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Haha," I was also very happy to destroy the ground formation without losing a single soldier. I turned around and saw Gongsun Xiaochen nodded, and then ordered, "Retract the troops."

Outside Lin'an City.

Yang Lian Zhenjia, Fang Chenqian and nearly 27 members of the Tiandao League arrived at Daci Mountain outside Lin'an City one day earlier on the evening of June [-]. During the war, the imperial court had very strict jurisdiction over the northern border area, but relaxed control over the inland areas. Many, no one thought that at the critical moment of the Song and Yuan wars, civil strife would occur, and it was still in Lin'an, at the feet of the emperor,
