While the two sides were fighting a resource war, Xiang Chen, Xia Houwu, and the controlled Kong Ling and others came to a city gate.
At the gate of the city, no less than a few hundred disciples of the Seven Sword Immortal Sect gathered together, forming a battalion.
There were still people on the tower, and the sound of cannon fire was deafening.
"Young Master." Kong Ling came over, and all the disciples of the Seven Sword Immortal Sect around him saluted respectfully.
Kong Ling nodded expressionlessly and led Xiang Chen and others up the tower.
"The two sides are still fighting a resource war and have not activated the city defense formation."
Xiang Chen watched the artillery fire from both sides come and go, the whistling sound was harsh, and he felt a little distressed.
This is not a war, it's a waste of money.
Xiang Chen looked at a fort in the distance. Boxes of fairy crystals piled next to the fort were almost used up.
"Without the support of the treasure house, this kind of bombardment of the Seven Blades Immortal Sect will not last long." Xiang Chen sneered. The Seven Swordsmen Immortal Sect originally had an absolute advantage in terms of resources.
But with this move, he eliminated tens of billions of top-quality immortal crystals, and the Seven Blades Immortal Sect could no longer afford them.
"Stop the bombardment, activate the defensive formation, and wait until the opponent closes the distance before fighting!"
At this time, some elders gave orders, and they also realized that they could no longer fight like this.
In the Seven Swords Immortal City, countless formations light up and release energy beams.
Buzz...! A thick curtain of energy emerged, swirling around the formations, covering the huge Seven Swords Immortal City, and covering the entire frontline city area.
Qidao Xianmen stopped the bombardment and activated the defensive array.
Boom, boom...! The artillery regiment landed on the defensive formation's light curtain and exploded, without destroying the light curtain.
"With so many eighth-grade defensive arrays combined, the consumption is also quite high."
Xiang Chen frowned as he looked at this scene. There was no need for the Seven Blades Immortal Sect to activate the defensive array so early. They could just send out troops to fight the Tyrant Sword Sect first.
"Young Master!"
At this time, a Seven Sword Immortal Sect disciple flew over quickly and reported to Kong Ling.
"Young sect master, I also ask the young sect master to retreat to the back city after the war begins."
Kong Ling frowned and said coldly: "Why should I retreat? We haven't started a head-on battle yet?"
The disciple whispered: "I don't know, this is an order from the sect master. Please, young sect master, please retreat to the rear city immediately after the battle begins."
"I know." Kong Ling said coldly, and the disciple left immediately after bowing.
"After the war begins, I want you to retreat and look around the city..." Xiang Chen looked at the disciple, and then went to inform other elders and the like.
"In Kong Ling's memory, is there anything special about Qiancheng?" Xiang Chen asked.
Kong Ling, who was captured by the moon charm, thought for a while and said: "There are a large number of defensive formations in the front city, as well as many killing formations, but the killing formations are not activated now."
Xiang Chen frowned, then suddenly realized, and said in shock: "I understand, the Seven Swordsmen Immortal Sect wants to invite you to enter the urn."
Xia Houwu Dao on the side said: "If I were the Seven Sword Immortal Sect, I would let some of the troops stay here. When the Tyrant Sword Sect's people attack, the large force will retreat, leaving the front city, and a small number of people will bite the Tyrant Sword Sect and start killing. Formation, if the Tyrant Sword Sect rushes in rashly, it will definitely kill the Tyrant Sword Sect by catching them off guard."
"That's right, the Seven Blades Immortal Sect probably wants to do this. Hou Zi, you can do it. Why are you suddenly smarter?" Xiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Get out!" Xia Houwu kicked him and said, "I'm just not as sinister as you. I've been in the army since I was a child. I'm proficient in all kinds of tactics and military tactics. Yin people are not as good as you. I won't obey you in battle."
"However, in this case, those who stayed behind to resist in the Seven Blades Immortal Sect will undoubtedly die. Of course, if it were me, I would do the same thing. For the sake of the general's overall interests, and to win at the expense of a small number of people, then
He is already a good general, and no one is immune to death in battle."
Xiahou Wuwang felt sad for the disciples guarding the city. They probably didn't know it, and many of them would be sacrificed.
"You are wrong. The art of war does not conflict with Yin people. Yin people are Yin people, and the art of war is Yin people. Do you know what a soldier is deceitful? Let me tell you, I know a person named Sun Tzu. Then
Sun Tzu is very sinister, and he even wrote a book on deceitful warfare. No, this is it. If you have time to think about it, if you understand it thoroughly, you will use it for the rest of your life." Xiang Chen took out a thin jade book and gave it to Xia Houwu.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War? Why did you choose such a bad name? It doesn't sound good." Xia Houwu looked disgusted when he saw the name. But when he looked at the contents with his fairy mind, he was immediately attracted.
"Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must observe them..."
After reading it roughly, Xia Houwu looked excited and said: "Good book, good military book, Gouzi, why did you give me such a good thing? His uncle, my father wanted to have this military book back then and blow up everyone around him.
Countries!”
"Humph, it sounds so good to know. You didn't ask me for it before. I still have several military books here, such as Wu Mu's Art of War and Huang Shi Jing. I'll write them to you later. The extracurricular readings that I did during my nine-year compulsory education back then were great.
It’s not for nothing.”
"Ahem, Master, it's a bit far-fetched."
Kong Ling, controlled by Yuemei, couldn't help but remind him.
"He should know the locations of those killing formations in his memory, right?" Xiang Chen asked.
"I know, there are seventeen killing formations in total, and I know their locations." Kong Ling nodded.
"Come on, take me over there. Let's move the killing array to him first."
Kong Ling immediately took Xiang Chen and Xia Houwu to the formation control area of the killing array.
In the city, in front of a building, the door of this building is guarded by disciples of the Seven Blades Immortal Sect.
One of the killing array platforms is hidden in this building.
"Young Master."
Kong Ling came over and the guarding disciples saluted quickly.
"I want to go in and take a look at the formation in case anything goes wrong."
Kong Ling said indifferently.
"This...Elder Huang Ming of the Formation Hall said that no one is allowed to enter..." The guarding disciples were in a bit of a dilemma.
"How outrageous. Even though I, as the young sect leader, can't enter? I'm here to check. If something goes wrong when the formation is activated, will you take the responsibility? Get out of here!"
Kong Ling showed his identity token and yelled.
"Yes, please."
The guarding disciple did not dare to offend Kong Ling, so he had to give way.
Several people entered the building. In the center of the building was a square formation with an energy furnace in the middle and disciples guarding it around it.
"Go and stand guard at the door. I want to check the formation." Kong Ling ordered.
"promise."
These disciples bowed and retreated to the door.
Xiang Chen came to the front of the formation, condensed the formation patterns in his hands, and one after another formation patterns poured into it.
After changing some of the formation structures, Xiang Chen stopped.
"Elder brother, please tell Patriarch Tyrant and the others not to rush and attack rashly. There are killing formations in the city. Give me some time and I will destroy these killing formations." Xiang Chen summoned Baili Tusu at the same time.
Baili Tusu quickly replied: "No problem, Xiaojiu, please be more careful."
After changing some of the formation patterns of a killing array, Xiang Chen immediately left here and went to the next one with Kong Ling.
Seven swords entered Xiang Ergou, which was a bloody misfortune for eight lifetimes.
