Chapter 101: The Murderous Murder of the Army
Luochuan and his party entered Xigu Pass without any obstacles.
Xiguguan is not only a military town, but also a small town. As soon as he entered the city, it was a commercial street. Among them, merchants and vendors kept coming and going. There were several taverns and flower buildings on a small 100-meter-long street. It was really a strong atmosphere of life.
Luochuan rode on his horse and was surrounded by a group of generals and cavalry. He wanted to see some goods sold by roadside vendors and turned his head, which seemed a bit childish.
Then, he saw a familiar figure looking at him and then turning into the alley and disappearing.
He looked into the shop on the other side of the road, leaned closer and asked Chen Jingzhi's way, "I think Xigu Pass is quite free. How can I tell if there is a demon clan entering it?"
Chen Jingzhi looked back at Zhao Qingxia, who bowed to Luochuan and said, "If you go back to the young master, it is quite inconvenient to see that the roads in Xiguguan are bent and surrounded by winding and surrounding roads. One is the defense convenience created for street fighting after the city breaks, and the other is..." He sent the following words directly to Luochuan's ears. "The second is that there is a magic array for demon suppression under this road. This magic array was set up by a senior master of the Wangchuan Sword Sect. It can not only reveal the original shape of the demon clan that invaded Xiguguan, but also suppress the operation of the demonic energy in its body and benefit the defenders." He re-showed his voice, "So it is impossible for the demon clan to sneak into Xiguguan without being exposed."
Luo Chuan nodded and stopped asking questions. The team soon came to a wall. Compared with the low city wall when entering the city, this city wall was slightly higher than a few meters. The city wall extended to the north and south sides, dividing the small city into east and west halves.
The East City is like an ordinary small city, but the people are strictly prohibited from approaching the west, and the management is extremely strict, making it a forbidden area that belongs to the army alone.
The group went straight into the west city, and Chen Jingzhi took Luo Chuan directly to the martial arts field.
The martial arts field was located under the towering city wall. Luo Chuan and others were already crowded with people. A group of elite infantry soldiers with armor were divided into groups, shouting loudly to practice the formation.
I saw smoke and dust rising in the martial arts field, and a stream of almost visible momentum soared into the sky!
"The military exercises the first priority for military formations," Chen Jingzhi stretched out his hand and pointed the battle formation composed of about a hundred people closest to the crowd to explain to him, "Young master, look, this is a gun and shield formation composed of one hundred warriors and soldiers with the power of one level lion and tiger. It is formed by a first level warrior. It is a formation with a solid energy and gathering but not dispersed. It has good defensive power. It can be a gun or a shield. It is the most used military formation in the battlefield in the southern part of the county."
He reached out and pointed the large formation of a thousand-man scale that was farthest from everyone, "That one is a divine arrow formation composed of elite thousands of people. It uses a four-level sword cultivation as the formation to guide the aura of thousands of people into the formation, with amazing lethality. It is rumored that this divine arrow formation was the strongest in the early years of the founding of the country. There was a legend that 100,000 brave soldiers formed a formation and killed the nine-level heavenly demon. Although it is inevitably exaggerated, or other factors outside the battle formation, it can also describe how strong this formation is."
Luo Chuan nodded silently, but was shocked in his heart.
Before he truly witnessed the scene before him, he was actually a little confused. In such a world where he could practice Taoism to fly with swords, turn his hands to turn clouds and rain, for those strong men who stand on the top of the mountain like the head of the Cangyan Sword Sect, the so-called military soldiers can be destroyed just like ants. Why does the border of the Dading consume so much financial resources to support millions of human troops? It was not until this moment that he realized that these armies can not only conquer cities, earthquakes and subdue the people, but also form battle formations on the front battlefield to strike the strong, triggering qualitative changes with quantitative changes, and explain the significance of power in another way, which is a force that the four barbarians are absolutely difficult to ignore.
"There are 50,000 elite soldiers under Jingzhi's command. Can you form a formation of 10,000 people?" Luo Chuan asked curiously.
"The entire southwestern Hanzhou can only have two troops with a 10,000-person formation, including the Black Wind Army under our General Lu," Feng Jinkui, the black-faced general behind the two, said carelessly, "If you want us to become the 10,000 formation, you have to give us another 50,000 elite soldiers!"
He Ruoxin, a ferocious general who was following the black-faced general, punched him in the arm and shook his head at him.
Chen Jingzhi just frowned slightly and explained to Luo Chuan without looking back, "There are too many cultivators required to form a formation of ten thousand people. Each key position needs to suppress the strong people from at least four realms. In our current situation, it is mainly based on the Thousand People Formation, supplemented by the Hundred People Formation. In fact, if it is used properly on the battlefield, it can already achieve good results."
"Cabinets may form a formation?" Luo Chuan asked again.
"It can form a formation, but the requirements for cavalry are too high. There are not many cavalrymen in the entire southwestern Hanzhou. The bloody cavalry behind the young master is one of them," Chen Jingzhi said.
"Oh?" Luo Chuan looked back and looked at Luo Changgong, who nodded at him, smiled, "Jingzhi, let's go to that city wall to take a look."
Chen Jingzhi nodded, and did not dismount, but bypassed the martial arts field and rode on a very wide zigzag gentle slope beside the city wall. When the group went to the city wall, they understood why the city wall had to set up a separate passage for the cavalry, because the city wall was too spacious!
It is even more appropriate to say that it is a flattened hill than to say that it is a flattened hill. The wall is dozens of meters thick, and the sides of the wall are connected to the cliff wall. A hundred cavalrymen stepping on it will not make people feel crowded or uneasy, but they feel open and happy, wanting to gallop across this air square.
Luo Chuan was not very interested in this city wall. He was just looking at the canyon wilderness to the west, open and desolate, with broken warriors scattered in it, covered with thick dust and mist, with wind coming from the west, with a gentle smell of earth, without a decay.
"Land on such a city wall day after day to look at the scene outside, people's hearts will gradually grow old," Luo Chuan murmured to himself.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingxia, who was not far behind the two, was a well-known person and smiled and said, "What the young master said is very similar to what General Zhao said. At that time, General Zhao also said that Xiguguan, which had not been warned for decades, would turn the new recruits in the army into veteran oil spells, so our Cangyan Army may be the most diligent person to patrol the mountains and hunt monsters in the county."
"This is a good thing. There has been no war in the past ten years, but it is impossible for the next ten years. We sweat more on weekdays and bleed less during wartime. Moreover, hunting monsters is also a benefit to the people," Luo Chuan smiled at Zhao Qingxia, "It can be seen that General Zhao has people in his heart."
Zhao Qingxia bowed slightly.
Chen Jingzhi did not continue to talk about this topic but asked, "I just heard from General Luo that the young master was attacked and killed when he went to the Xiluo River Valley. I think it would be a bit dangerous for the young master to return to Cangyan City soon. Moreover, Cangyan City is a place for military ration storage and transportation, and the guards of the officers and soldiers who are not known to have complete armor are really thin. Will the guards of Li Duwei and his troops always be stationed in Cangyan City?"
The black-faced general Feng Jinkui exchanged glances with He Ruoxin beside him.
Zhao Qingxia and Li Zhongyang, not far from the two, could not see the joy or anger.
Li Mu knelt on one knee again and listened to the military order.
Luo Chuan waved his hand and said, "Respect, how to set up the defense in this place is your business. Don't do anything for me alone. You must consider the people in this place. I have understood your feelings. Don't worry, if he can trust you, I believe you. Li Mu is a person with real talents and knowledge, and he is also a civilian. Only by you can he perform his best. What's the use of following me..."
"Boom!!"
As soon as Luochuan finished speaking, an explosion came from far away in Xiguguan City!
Then, shouting and drums sounded.
Fire lights dotted.
Chapter completed!
