Luochuan and his party entered Xigu Pass without any obstruction.
Xiguguan is not only a military town, it can also be regarded as a small city. As soon as you enter the city, there is a commercial street, where merchants and hawkers are constantly coming and going. There are actually several taverns and flowerhouses on this small 100-meter-long street. It is really
The atmosphere of life is already rich enough.
Luochuan was riding on a horse surrounded by a group of generals and cavalry. He had to turn his head sideways if he wanted to see some of the goods sold by roadside vendors, which seemed a bit childish.
Then, he saw a familiar figure on the corner of an alley not far away. After looking at him, he turned and disappeared into the alley.
He looked into the shop on the other side of the road, got a little closer and asked Chen Jingzhi, "I think Xigu Pass is quite free. How can you tell if there are monsters entering it?"
Chen Jingzhi turned back and glanced at Zhao Qingxia, who saluted Luochuan with clasped fists and said, "Go back to the master, you see the winding roads in Xigu Pass are quite inconvenient. One of them is to create a defense for street fighting after the city is broken."
Convenience, and the second thing is..." He sent the following words directly to Luo Chuan's ears, "The second thing is that there is a demon-suppressing magic circle carved under this road. This magic circle was created by Wangchuan Sword Sect.
Designed by a senior expert, it can not only reveal the true identity of the demon clan that invaded Xigu Pass, but also suppress the movement of demon energy in their bodies, benefiting the defenders." He let out his voice again, "So if the demon clan wants to
It is impossible to sneak into Xiguguan without being exposed."
Luo Chuan nodded and stopped asking questions. The group quickly came to a wall. Compared with the low city wall when they entered the city, this city wall was slightly higher by several meters. The city wall extended to the north and south, dividing the small city into east and west.
Two halves.
The east city is like an ordinary small town, while the west side is strictly forbidden to the common people and is extremely strictly managed. It is a restricted area belonging to the military.
The group entered Xicheng, and Chen Jingzhi took Luo Chuan directly to the martial arts arena.
The martial arts field was located under the towering city wall. When Luo Chuan and others arrived, the place was already bustling with people. A group of armored and capable infantrymen were divided into formations, and they were practicing the formation with loud shouts.
I saw smoke and dust everywhere in the martial arts arena, and waves of momentum that were almost visible to the naked eye shot straight into the sky!
"The most important thing for an army to perform martial arts is the military formation," Chen Jingzhi stretched out his hand and pointed at the nearest battle formation composed of about a hundred people to explain, "Young Master, look, this is a formation composed of a hundred people with a level one lion.
The spear and shield array composed of warriors of the Tiger Power, with warriors of the first level forming an array, the vitality is solid, gathered together and never dispersed, and has good defensive power. It can be used as a spear or a shield. It is my departure.
The most commonly used military formation on the battlefield in the southern part of the county."
He then stretched out his hand and pointed at a large formation of a thousand people that was farthest from the crowd, "That one is the Divine Arrow Formation composed of thousands of elites. It has a Four Realm sword cultivator as the center of the formation to guide thousands of people.
The energy enters the formation, and its lethality is astonishing. It is rumored that in the early years of the founding of our country, Dading, this divine arrow formation was the strongest. There was a legend that a hundred thousand warriors formed an formation to kill the nine realms of heavenly demons. Although some of them are exaggerated, or
There are other factors outside of the battle formation, but they can more or less describe the strength of this formation."
Luochuan nodded silently, feeling inexplicably shocked in his heart.
Before actually witnessing the scene in front of him, he was actually a little confused. In a world where one could practice Taoism to fly with a sword, turn one's hands to make clouds and turn rain, how could one stand on the top of a mountain as powerful as the master of the Cangyan Sword Sect?
To the observer, the so-called powerful soldiers are nothing more than ants that can be wiped out with just a handful of hands. Why does the border of Dading spend so much financial resources to support millions of human armies? It was not until this moment that he knew that these armies can not only attack cities but also conquer earthquakes.
The common people can also form a battle formation on the frontal battlefield to challenge the powerful, using quantitative changes to trigger qualitative changes. It illustrates the meaning of power in another way. It is a force that the Siyi Great Demon cannot ignore.
"Jingzhi now has 50,000 elite soldiers under his command. Can he form a large formation of 10,000 people?" Luo Chuan asked curiously.
"There are only two armies in the entire southwestern Hanzhou that can form a large formation of ten thousand people. Among them is the Black Wind Army under our General Lu." Feng Jinkui, the black-faced general who followed the two men, said in a carefree voice, "Young Master wants to
We have already formed a formation of ten thousand people, so we have to give us another fifty thousand elite soldiers to make up for it!"
The ferocious-looking general He Ruoxiong who followed the black-faced general on horseback punched him on the arm and shook his head at him.
Chen Jingzhi just frowned slightly and explained to Luochuan without looking back, "The number of cultivators required to form a formation of ten thousand people is too many, and every key position needs to be suppressed by at least strong men from the four realms. With our current situation
The situation is just that the formation of thousands of people is mainly used, supplemented by the formation of hundreds of people, and it can actually produce good results when used properly on the battlefield."
"Can the cavalry form a formation?" Luo Chuan asked again.
"You can form a formation, but the requirements for cavalry are too high. There are not many cavalry in the entire southwestern Hanzhou that can form a formation, and the blood cavalry behind the young master is one of them," Chen Jingzhi said.
"Oh?" Luo Chuan looked back and smiled at Luo Changgong, who nodded at him, "Jingzhi, let's go and take a look at that city wall."
Chen Jingzhi nodded and took the lead without dismounting. Instead, he went around the martial arts field and rode up a very wide zigzag slope beside the city wall. Only when the group reached the city wall did they understand why the city wall was for cavalry.
Set up a separate passage, because the city wall is too spacious!
Rather than saying that it was a city wall, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a flattened hill. This city wall was dozens of meters thick. Both sides of the city wall were connected to the cliffs. A hundred cavalrymen would not be able to step on it at all.
It makes people feel crowded and uneasy, but on the contrary, it makes people feel open and relaxed, and they want to gallop around in this sky square.
Luo Chuan was not very interested in this city wall. He was just looking at the canyon wilderness to the west. It was open and desolate. Broken weapon carriages were scattered among them, covered with thick dust, filled with mist, and the wind came from the west.
, with a slight earthy smell, without any smell of decay.
"Standing on this city wall and looking at this scene outside day after day, your heart will slowly grow old," Luo Chuan murmured to himself.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingxia, who was following not far behind the two of them, was very knowledgeable. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "What the young master said is very similar to what General Zhao said. General Zhao also said that Xigu has been without war for decades.
Guan will grind the new recruits in the army into veterans, so our Cangyan Army may be the most diligent in patrolling the mountains and hunting monsters in Li County."
"This is a good thing. There has been no war in the past ten years, but there will be no war in the next ten years. We sweat more on weekdays and bleed less during war. Besides, hunting monsters also benefits the people of the area," Luo Chuan said to Zhao Qingxia.
Smiling, "It can be seen that General Zhao has the common 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 Bi that the young master was attacked and killed when he went to the Xiluo Valley. I think it will still be a bit dangerous for the young master to return to Cangyan City soon, and Cangyan City is used as military supplies.
The storage and transshipment place is too weak to be guarded by only Cangyan County Lieutenant and a group of officers and soldiers whose armors are unknown. Is it necessary to allow Lieutenant Li and his troops to be permanently stationed in Cangyan City?"
The black-faced general Feng Jinkui exchanged glances with He Ruoxiong on the side.
Zhao Qingxia and Li Zhongyang, who were not far away from the two of them, could not tell whether they were happy or angry.
Li Mu knelt down on one knee again to listen to military orders.
Luo Chuan waved his hand and said, "Jingzhi, how to defend this place is your business. Don't do anything for me alone. You must consider the people of this place. I understand your intentions. Don't worry, he can believe it."
You, I believe in you. Li Mu is a man of real talent and learning, and he is also from a commoner background. Only by working here can he make the best use of you, so what’s the use of following me..."
"Boom!!"
As soon as Luo Chuan finished speaking, there was an explosion in the distance from Xiguguan City!
