Following Gongsun Xiaochen's instructions, Hu Yande and the other soldiers kept their eyes open. They held their shields flat with their left hands to resist the strong wind. They held a sword in their right hands. They still maintained a rhythmic and steady pace under their feet. They moved forward and then moved forward.
The further you go, the stronger the wind becomes. Fortunately, the heavy armored infantry have solid bases. However, more and more giant snakes make the soldiers feel frightened. Although everyone believes what Gongsun Xiaochen said, these are just It was just an illusion. But everyone was on tenterhooks. They were afraid that the giant snake would fly to them. Moreover, almost everyone felt that the scene in front of them felt more and more like a real existence. They took another ten steps forward. Seeing that everyone was so frightened that their legs and feet were weak, Hu Yande simply ordered the soldiers to close their eyes and follow the soldiers in the front row to move forward.
Although Hu Yande was very courageous, he still felt as if there were countless giant snakes flying around him. Although he was not frightened, his hair stood on end.
I don’t know how long they have been walking, let alone where they are. Everyone seems to have no idea about time and space. Just when the anxiety in the hearts of the five hundred soldiers reached the extreme, they suddenly felt a light in front of them. They saw a tall tower in front of them. There is a towering tree with lush branches and leaves, blocking the way forward.
When they got closer, everyone could see clearly what kind of branches and leaves there were on the big tree. They were all trembling and winding snakes. It made people shudder.
What is true. What is false.
By this time, almost no one remembered Gongsun Xiaochen's words anymore. Even though they were still reminding themselves deep down that this was just an illusion and a lie. But their feet no longer obeyed their orders and they stopped moving forward. Even Hu Yande, who was walking at the front, was also stunned on the spot.
Although Hu Yande was a martial arts cultivator, he had no doubts about Gongsun Xiaochen, a martial arts cultivator. For no other reason than the fact that Gongsun Xiaochen was born in the Valley of the Kings, the Holy Land of Martial Arts.
"There cannot be a long pause in the Fengyang Formation. Otherwise, hallucinations will erode the human brain. In severe cases, the hallucinations may even completely occupy the person. Even if the formation is successful, it will become a state of dementia." Gongsun Xiaochen said in Hu Yande's mind rang again.
Thinking of this, Hu Yande's heart trembled. He immediately let out a long roar from his mouth. This roar, which was infused with Hu Yande's profound skills, penetrated everyone's heart and woke up all the confused soldiers. Immediately, Hu Yande raised his breath loudly. He shouted: "Commanders, close your eyes. Follow me and move forward."
Hu Yande also closed his eyes and walked forward bravely.
"Are there trees? Are there snakes?" Everyone was thinking as they walked.
Nothing was encountered.
"Coming over." When Huyande, who opened his eyes for the first time, shouted loudly, the five hundred soldiers suddenly shouted with excitement: "Coming over. We are coming over."
Hu Yande took a deep breath and ordered: "Keep going."
Since passing through the big tree, there have been fewer and fewer flying snakes in front of me, and the strong wind has basically stopped roaring.
After walking forward for about twenty steps, I saw a group of Mongolian infantry standing nearly forty steps in front. There were about seven to eighty soldiers in this group. I was surprised to see Hu Yande and others coming to the center of the formation. But they immediately lined up to fight. The leader did not say a word. He raised his spear and muttered words. Then, there were strong winds and giant snakes rushed towards the Song army.
Huyande laughed. He raised his whips and crossed them into a cross shape. He also muttered. Of course, just like the Mongolian leader, no one could hear what he was saying clearly.
The five hundred heavily armored soldiers of the Song Dynasty saw bright lights coming from Hu Yande's double whips. They spread out in all directions. The strong wind and the giant snake would disappear as soon as they were hit by the bright light.
"Commanders, charge." Hu Yande gave the order to attack.
Before Hu Yande entered the formation, Gongsun Xiaochen affixed two secret talismans to Hu Yande's male and female whips. He also said that the abnormalities and illusory objects that appeared in the Feng Yang formation were all related to the light in the formation. Find the formation In the eyes of the queen, use the double whip as a medium to trigger the light on the talisman to break the wind formation.
Although the cowardly Xue army in the Fengyang formation was brave, in front of the Song army that was several times larger than itself, Hu Yande, a fierce general in the world, was quickly slaughtered. When the smoke in the formation gradually dissipated. Hu Yande and others discovered that they were only six to seventy steps away from their own army. More than an hour had passed from the time they entered the formation to the time they broke it. And during this more than an hour, everyone was almost standing still.
Fang Ling saw that the formation was broken. He smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, it seems that your tricks are better than those of the Mongols. Which one will we break next?"
Gongsun Xiaochen counted his hands and said: "Ms. Lingfei, each formation of the five square formations is related to the right time and place. The Fengyang formation was broken today. The next time the formation will be broken will be tomorrow evening."
"It's so troublesome."
"Well, if the timing is not right, it will be difficult to break the formation."
I suddenly asked: "Xiao Chen, if the formation is not broken continuously, then by tomorrow, will the broken Feng Yang Formation be repaired again by Mongolian warlocks?"
Gongsun Xiaochen said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The five-square formation set up by the Mongols is to make use of the spiritual energy at the foot of Lumen Mountain. It is also in a hurry. There is only one chance. According to the records in the valley, unless it is A formation that uses a specific divine object as a medium can only be sustained or reset in a short period of time. A formation that simply uses the aura of heaven and earth will gradually disappear even if it is not broken. Moreover, once the formation is broken, the surrounding areas The spiritual energy will be exhausted and it cannot be repaired. Just like the Eight Formation Diagram back then, it can only last for 20 to 30 years at most."
Fang Lingdao: "The Nine Chapters Qimen Formation has existed for thousands of years. Did it use divine objects as a medium?"
"Yes. The Nine Chapters Qimen Formation was created by Huangdi Xuanyuan using his brocade belt and Queen Feng using her armor as a medium. Therefore, it can last for a long time. If you want to break it, you must use the same level of divine objects or wait until the Nine Chapters Formation Until the magical items in it naturally become ineffective."
"How long will it take?"
"About five thousand one hundred years."
Fang Ling sighed: "Every row is like a mountain. The doorways here are really mysterious."
At 1:00 p.m. the next day, Meng Tianya led 444 loyal and shun soldiers to break through the Yunchui Formation in the five-square formation. Two days later, Jiang Cai led 499 soldiers to break through the Bird Xiang Formation.
At this point, only the two main formations of the five square formations, Tianfu and Dizai, are left.
On the evening of June 23rd, Kublai Khan of Dadu received the memorial from A Shu and Boyan. He had just read it and before he had time to analyze it carefully, he saw Wu Liang Hetai hurriedly entered the room and said: "Your Majesty. Ten thousand troops from the Southern Dynasty landed from the coast of Shandong and entered the territory of our country. Their purpose and whereabouts are unknown."
Kublai Khan said angrily: "What. The Southern Dynasty army dared to go deep alone. Is our coastal navy just a decoration? A team of 10,000 people slipped in under my nose."
Wu Lianghetai replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, the coastal navy discovered this enemy force. However, due to the huge disparity, it was defeated by the North Sea Fleet of the Southern Navy."
"What about my defense troops on the shore?"
Just when Wu Lianghetai was about to answer, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. Eji, the chief guard on duty in the palace, hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Dali Road Pingzhang Saidianchi·Fansiding Urgent report. Nearly 50,000 troops of the Southern Dynasty attacked Shanchan City on the 13th of this month. Except for the defenders Hudu and Duan Li, more than a thousand soldiers escaped. The rest of the soldiers fell into the hands of the Southern Dynasty army. Shanchan City The city was lost."
"What. What."
Kublai Khan stood up involuntarily. He suddenly felt nervous in his heart. Even though he claimed to be a hero, he was also disturbed by the sudden reports of the three battles. These three battle reports were like three huge mountains. They were overwhelming. Bi Lie couldn't breathe. Kublai Khan seemed to have difficulty maintaining a standing posture. He sat down on the dragon chair. It took a while to regain his strength.
"In the Battle of Xiangyang on the middle road, our army was attacked by the firearms of the Southern Dynasty. We suffered heavy casualties. The city of Shanchan in Dali on the west road was lost. The east road was infiltrated by thousands of troops from the Southern Dynasty. Misfortunes never come singly. It is adding insult to injury." Kublai Khan said. He picked up an exquisite wine glass on the table, drank it in one gulp, and then smashed the glass to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Eji quickly stepped forward and cleaned up the debris on the ground. Like Wu Lianghetai, he stood aside silently.
After a long time, Kublai Khan continued: "General Wu Liang Hetai immediately sent an order to the Western Route Army. If Dali City is lost again, all officials and soldiers of our court in Dali will be withdrawn, and all major border areas will be strictly guarded. At the pass, do not send troops rashly. At the same time, send an order to the Eastern Route Army to quickly find out the movements of the ten-thousand-strong army from the Southern Dynasty."
"Yes. Your Majesty."
"Also, Wu Liang He Tai. Have all the newly recruited 100,000 troops arrived?"
"Back to the Emperor. Recruitment has been completed. Currently in training."
"Hmm. Hurry up. Erji."
"The end will be here."
"You will lead five thousand soldiers and send troops south early tomorrow morning. I will get rid of the ten thousand enemy troops who have sneaked into our court."
Eji said loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Okay, Eji, go and call the Divine Master and the Imperial Master."
Hao Jing's residence was very close to the palace. When he arrived at the palace, Yin Tianya, who lived a little further away, also arrived at the same time.
After reading Ah Shu's memorial, Yin Tianya thought for a while and said: "The Great Khan, according to my wishes, should concentrate all the troops of the army in the middle and attack with all strength. No matter how powerful the firearms of the Southern Dynasty are, attack Guanzitan again. If we win, the overall situation will be determined. If we lose, we will immediately return to the army and establish a defense line around Nanyang City."
Hao Jingdao: "The Lord God's intention is yours. I also agree with it."
Kublai Khan thought for a moment and then said: "Okay. Since the two of you agree, then it's settled. Imperial Master."
"I'm here."
"You inform Luzhou Shi Bi. Even if your identity is exposed, you must get the muskets and ammunition from the Southern Dynasties for our research. The information about the thunder that the Jin people left behind cannot be found. They can only be obtained from the actual objects. Find a way."
