I subconsciously looked back and found that the way we came in no longer existed.
Gongsun Xiaochen once said that the low-level formations set up by warlocks generally have only one entrance and exit. When the formation is broken, this entrance and exit will automatically appear. Otherwise, the people inside will not be able to leave the formation. High-level formations There are many entrances and exits, and they are not fixed. As long as you have the ability, you can enter and exit freely even if you don't break the formation.
Each door in the Tianfu Formation has a large ancient writing on it, and it emits a faint light. Although none of us recognize it, its shape is exactly the same as the writing on the brocade bag that Gongsun Xiaochen gave us. So we can recognize that these are the eight characters "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui" that represent the directions of the Eight Diagrams. In addition to these eight gates, the remaining eight gates also have ancient characters. .The shape of the glyph is not something we recognize. It is dim and looks like a dead thing.
"Perhaps these eight characters that I don't recognize are the names of the lost Bagua among the Sixteen Innate Hexagrams." I guessed.
"Generals, compare the tips in your hands and line up in front of the door."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Yuan Ji and others arrived at the door with the word "Qian" written on it, the other generals also arrived at the designated door.
"Okay. Generals, listen to the order and attack."
Entering the Ganzhen, there was only a straight path in front of it. It was surrounded by mountains. After walking about thirty meters, I saw that the path was divided into two. I looked at the tips in the bag and chose to go right. After more than ten meters, turn right. There are three more forked roads ahead. Fortunately, there are hints in the tips bag, so we didn't waste too much time on it.
As we move forward in this way, there will be more and more bifurcations.
"It turns out to be a maze." I suddenly realized.
"That's right. Your Majesty, if it weren't for Gongsun Xiaochen's tips, I would have gone through a lot of trouble." Yuan Ji said with a smile.
An hour later, both sides of the road turned into splendid high walls. There were more and more side roads on the road.
"Isn't the maze here the same kind of maze that often appears in online games in later generations? I didn't expect that the content of the Ancient Formation would be reflected in the form of games in later generations." I thought as I walked forward.
Walk. Keep walking.
I don’t know how long it took. Yuan Ji in front suddenly stopped and said, "Your Majesty, this should be the exit of the maze."
I looked forward and saw that there was no road ahead. At the end of the road were two stairs, both spiral-shaped, extending to the other side of the wall. As for the other side of the wall, it must be the center of the battle formation. .I opened the kit and saw that Qian is the sky and Yang. The so-called left yin and right yang. Therefore, no matter how many final exits there are, only choose the extreme right. Do not be careless. Otherwise, you will return to the starting point again.
Yuan Ji took the lead. Eight of us climbed up the stairs on the right. This spiral staircase seemed to be a short distance, but it took us a lot of time. Later, when discussing this matter with Gongsun Xiaochen, he also I can't explain the reason. On the contrary, I agree with what I said. The formation is a multi-dimensional space. The higher the level of the formation, the greater the dimension. Different formations have different settings on each plane. To put it simply, it means that the X, Y, and Z axes in three-dimensional space are different from normal times. When we think about the unknown time and space of multi-dimensional space with what we think is normal thinking, we will naturally feel incomprehensible.
Yuan Ji and others felt the same as me. They spent nearly half an hour on the stairs before returning to the ground.
Just as Gongsun Xiaochen expected, this staircase is the exit of the maze, and the exit is also the center of the formation. Naturally, the eight Yuan soldiers guarding the center cannot compare with Yuan Ji. Even though they tried their best, they could not. In just a few breaths, they died one by one under Yuan Ji's palm.
I took a few steps forward and pulled out the formation flag that was stuck on the ground. This formation flag was the symbol of the Qian formation. When I pulled it out, the scene in front of me suddenly changed. I found myself, Yuan Ji and others. Still standing at the entrance of the Qian Zhen. But the wooden door with the word "Qian" written on it is nowhere to be seen.
Then, the remaining seven doors also disappeared one by one. The various people who broke the formation appeared in front of the original formation doors.
It was like magic. The wooden door disappeared out of thin air, and the soldiers appeared out of thin air.
When the eighth door disappears, the other eight doors also disappear at the same time.
According to our estimation, it took about two and a half hours to break the Tianfu Formation, which is five hours. But when we returned to the front of the army formation, Gongsun Xiaochen was quite surprised and said: "The Emperor is so fast. Only It took less than two moments to destroy the Tianfu Formation in the Five Square Formation."
"What? It's not even two moments. Gongsun Xiaochen, are you kidding me?" Fang Ling was also shocked. He asked on behalf of the sixty-four people who broke the formation.
"My dear Concubine Ling, how dare you, the general, joke with the emperor? The tens of thousands of troops here can all testify for the general."
Jiang Wanzai said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling. General Gongsun didn't say a word or smile. It really took less than two moments."
"Maybe it's because of the difference in space." Although I was curious, I also had my own opinion. "This is just like the legend says, one day in the sky and ten years on earth."
"Your Majesty, it seems that there is a big difference between this Heavenly Covering Formation and other formations. The time inside the formation is very different from that outside." Gongsun Xiaochen said.
Once the five square formations were broken, the fortress of the Yuan Army at Lumen Mountain appeared completely in front of us again.
Yuan Ji smiled and said: "Haha. Your Majesty, the Mongols have not been idle these days. The earthen walls of the fortress have basically been repaired."
"Let them repair it. No matter how much repairs and reinforcements are made, they can't stop our artillery fire." I ordered. "The generals will obey the order and retreat. From tomorrow onwards, we will concentrate our firepower on the front wall of the fortress. I will destroy it." Not only their earthen walls. The most important thing is to destroy the confidence of the Mongolians. Make the Mongolians feel fear from the bottom of their hearts when they hear firearms."
Returning to the Chinese army's tent, I took a short rest. Although I felt quite tired, my mind was extremely excited. I was certain that the warlock's formation was to use some method to separate our living space from other different locations. The space on the surface is connected. If I can figure out the mystery, maybe I can use the formation to travel through time and space. Return to my original era. Gongsun Xiaochen's skills are not enough. Maybe Gongsun Ang, Taofa Master and other super-class warlocks can Find a way.
It has been five years since I traveled to the Song Dynasty. Although I have become completely accustomed to the current life, the thought of going home has never disappeared. Deep in my heart, I cannot forget Le Lingshan.
After discussing the formation with Gongsun Xiaochen for a while, I drifted off to sleep. Although the actual time in the Tianfu formation was only two-quarters of an hour, it actually consumed two and a half hours of our energy. When I woke up, it was already the time when the stars were shining brightly.
After eating something casually, I began to review the memorial from Lin'an. Not long after, I saw Gongsun Xiaochen hurriedly entered the house and reported: "Your Majesty, good news. A great victory in Yunnan. Our army has recaptured Dali City."
"Really?" Although this was within my expectation, I was still quite excited when I heard the news. "Hurry and show me."
"Yeah... good... good... good. Haha." I said while watching. "The two major cities in Yunnan Province are already under the control of our army. It is currently at the time of a war between the two countries. Presumably Kublai Khan will not send troops south to Yunnan for the time being. Gongsun Xiaochen and Lu Xiufu of the Military Affairs Council ordered Duan Heng, Wang Lixin and others to prepare for the establishment of the Yunnan Military Region as soon as possible and eliminate the anti-Song forces in Yunnan in a timely manner. The order was sent to Gao Da and Tian Xiu. Yan reported the merits of the officers and soldiers in the Yunnan Campaign so that they could be rewarded later. He ordered Fan Wenhu, the establishment envoy of the Guangxi Military Region, to restore the establishment of the Guangxi Military Region to two compartments. He also ordered Ye Dongsheng to send more men to sneak into Annan. As for Duan The revival army that Donglou belongs to. Let them come to Xiangyang with Tian Xiuyan."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The war in Yunnan has basically come to an end. The next step is to pacify the remaining anti-Song forces in the territory. Although the work of suppressing the bandits is very difficult, it is only a matter of time. As long as Kublai Khan does not send his army south, peace will soon prevail throughout Yunnan. will be realized.
At present, there is a peaceful situation in the east and west. The focus of the war is only in Xiangfan. However, there has been no news back from Yin Yinglei's troops. This makes me very worried. However, I can't think about it. All we can do is continue to wait.
That night, Ah Shu received instructions from Dadu. The emperor will arrive in Xiangfan on July 4th.
"July 4th. There are still four days left." A Shu said after reading. "Bo Yan. Fortunately, your five square formations bought time for the reinforcement of Lumen Mountain Fortress. It is a great achievement."
"Commander, his skills are not worth mentioning. As for the formation, Boyan is not very good at it. The five-square formation he set up does not have much offensive power. At most, it only delays the attack of the Southern Dynasty."
"Haha. Boyan, you are a master of martial arts and martial arts. You are truly the pillar of our dynasty."
Boyan smiled faintly: "Commander, Boyan is ashamed. Compared with his master, Boyan's skills are inferior to those of martial arts. Once the war is over, Boyan should hide in the world and specialize in the same, in order to enter the palace."
When talking about the war, Ah Shu sighed and said solemnly: "It's difficult. It's difficult. Our Yuan Empire has met its opponent this time."
"Yes." Boyan had the same feeling. He nodded and said: "Firearms. Oh, Marshal. To be honest, I really don't know how the Southern Emperor's head was transformed."
Ah Shu didn't react for a moment: "Transformation. What does this mean?"
"Commander, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty could actually produce such a powerful offensive weapon. It shows that his brain is extremely smart." Boyan sighed. "Commander, have you heard about what happened before the emperor of the Southern Dynasty ascended the throne?"
"Well, it is said that before Zhao Fu came to the throne, he was an ignorant and ignorant person. I didn't expect that he was actually quite capable."
