Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 290 Eight golden locks, pressing across the river

The sound of the "dong dong dong" snare drum sounded, which only made people's blood boil.The Xuanwu battle flag of the Li Dynasty was buzzing, but it was covered by the shouts of killing.

The big warships of the Li Chao Navy are coming against the current at this moment, reflecting a large shadow on the surface of the river.The soldiers of the Yun army on both sides of the strait who are in charge of delaying have to look up to see the whole picture.

On the boat on the shore, the arrows and rain from both sides kept intertwining, and the screams of the soldiers shot by the arrows on both sides sounded from time to time.

Hidden by the river, the Yunguo boat responsible for igniting the warship immediately swarmed out and rushed towards the battleship of the Li Chao Navy.But before it got close to the warship of the Li Dynasty navy, the clapper on the Li army ship fell hard.

The racket fell, and hit the small boat of the Yun army with a "bang", and the boat was broken in an instant, and the military masters on the boat were also involved in the river, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The river was turbulent, and the kerosene in the boat floated on the surface of the river, ignited by the rocket, and ignited a patch on the surface of the river.But these sporadic flames obviously cannot ignite the warships of the Li Chao Navy!

At this time, the navy of the Li Dynasty, in order to break through the Nanpanjiang waterway and enter the Yongjiang River as soon as possible, blocked Shicheng County and the four states, and ignored the delaying strategy of the Yunjun at this time. , Immediately abandon and evacuate, without nostalgia.

Since Li Chao's navy could endure such a loss, the Yun Army, which had no navy to contend with, naturally had no means of delay.

Seeing tens of miles ahead, you can turn into the gentle Yongjiang River.Yang Dayan and Xu Shu didn't care about the loss anymore, they summoned their soldiers and attacked the battleship of the Li Dynasty regardless of the casualties, desperately trying to stop it.

Yang Dayan led a group of soldiers straight to the river, and said to Xu Shu with a heavy face:

"The Li Chao Navy is only ten miles away from here, and it will arrive in a blink of an eye. How long will it take for you?"

Xu Shu looked at the densely packed and intertwined iron cables on the surface of the river, which were extremely complicated and complicated, frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"Thanks to the help of several Mohist disciples here, it took a month to forge eight thick iron chains that are strong enough to block the river. However, the Li Chao Navy has the luck of the country to help them, and they have gathered the vision in the army. The iron chains across the river can stop it! I wanted to use this to set up a formation to resist, but now there are still some arrangements..."

Seeing that the Li Chao navy was coming, Yang Dayan stared and said loudly:

"A little worse? The incident happened in a hurry. Most of my general's subordinates are county soldiers transferred from nearby. They are not as brave as the Forbidden Army and Frontier Army. It is estimated that they can't hold on now."

Just as Yang Dayan said, the local garrison of the Yunjun Army is not elite, and its armor, training, and morale are not as good as those of the Frontier Army and the Forbidden Army. Now it is possible to grit its teeth and stop the Li Chao navy despite heavy casualties. of!
But even so, it didn't stop much.Li Chao's naval division saw the Yongjiang River in front of them and advanced at full speed. At this time, it was still getting closer and closer, and the formation became more and more clear.

Yang Dayan was so anxious that he turned his head to see the small boats on the surface of the river, which were cautiously and slowly shuttled between the criss-crossing iron cables, and he couldn't sit still any longer.

Without further ado, Yang Dayan immediately took off his armor and cloak, and said:

"This is too slow! Tell me quickly, what arrangement is still missing, this general will do it himself!"

Looking at Yang Dayan who took off his armor and rolled up his sleeves, Xu Shu's eyes lit up slightly when he was originally anxious.

But I forgot, this Pingman general with a ninth-level cultivation base can obviously help!
Xu Shu quickly pulled Yang Bigan, pointed to the thick iron chains placed by the river, and said:
"The general's ninth-level master is rare in the world, but you can try it. Please, general, send this iron chain to the Jingmen in the formation..."

Yang Dayan did not hesitate, went straight to the side, picked up the heavy iron chain, was about to take a step, but was suddenly taken aback, and interrupted:
"What Jingmen? Where is the door?"

When Xu Shu heard the words, he froze for a moment.

He is used to communicating with Zhuge Liang, and he never needs to explain too much about the formation and direction.He actually forgot about the Pingman general in front of him, who didn't even know a few big characters, let alone the Qimen Dunjia terminology.

Xu Shu hurriedly explained:
"To the southeast of the general, about eighty steps away, where there is an open waterway, is Jingmen!"

Yang Dayan heard the words, took a deep breath to mobilize the strength in his body, exerted all his strength, his face was flushed, and the veins in his arm holding the thick iron chain were exposed, and he shouted word by word:
"Morning, say, ah!"

Only the sound of "hehe" breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and the huge iron chain specially built to block the river was thrown by Yang Dayan and flew out immediately.

When the iron chains were lifted into the air, the sound of clanging and colliding echoed across the river.

Yang Dayan let out a roar, stepped on his foot, and his figure suddenly turned into a phantom. In an almost undetectable moment, Yang Dayan's figure appeared several feet away, and his right hand had already grasped the end of the iron chain.

I saw him trembling slightly, the iron chain swayed, and he wrapped around the eye of the Jingmen formation in the formation.

Yang Dayan held the iron chain, looked back at Xu Shu suddenly, and shouted:

"This should be okay?"

Xu Shu hurriedly said:
"Of course not! General, please do as you did just now, and head to the east of you at this moment, 130 steps away."

When Yang Dayan heard the words, he immediately yelled violently, and the iron rope flew out of his hand immediately.

"Turn north, 270 steps!"

"Zhengxi, 320 steps!"

"..."

Thanks to the help of several Mohist disciples, [-] civil servants were recruited, and [-]% of the iron wares in several nearby cities were redeemed. It took a month to melt and cast. The iron chain was huge enough to block the entire Nanpan River. Jack?

Rao Yang Dayan's martial arts is fierce, and he has the cultivation base of a ninth-level master. After helping Xu Shu to set up the formation, he is also out of breath and can't continue.

Yang Dayan didn't care about maintaining the general's majesty, and lay down on the iron chain with some exhaustion, looking at the rolling river below, and at the mighty Li Chao navy coming less than three to five miles away, he swallowed Drooling, loudly said:

"Has it ever been better?"

Standing by the riverside, Xu Shu looked at the complicated iron chain formation in front of him, couldn't help laughing, and said:
"Okay, please come back quickly, General!"

Yang Dayan heard the words, and when his breath calmed down a little, he stood up suddenly and landed on the shore in the blink of an eye.

He swayed, pushed away the support of a group of soldiers, pointed at the mighty Li Chao navy who was approaching, and couldn't help but said to Xu Shu seriously:
"Xu Canjun, this general knows that you and Zhuge Canjun are capable people, and personally invited you to be officials. Now I trust you even more, and even entrust the whole army. Can you stop the Li Chao Navy for your majesty this time?" , saving Yongzhou is in danger, it depends on your ability!"

Xu Shu's figure was calm and calm. Hearing this, he solemnly said:

"General, please wait and see!"

As soon as the words were finished, Xu Shu put on a serious expression that was rarely seen on weekdays, and the aura on his body suddenly became extremely solid.

With a movement in his heart, the majestic spiritual power immediately connected with the energy of heaven and earth, echoing each other in the dark.

A milky white radiance visible to the naked eye emerged above his head, rushing towards the surface of the river.

The dense iron chains on the surface of the river suddenly produced mysterious changes.

Amidst the criss-crossing and incomparably cumbersome iron chains, an aura burst forth.

The robe on Xu Shu's body was not moving at this time, his body was straight, and the mysterious aura of heaven and earth continued to overflow from his body.

I saw him caressing his hands, and said softly:
"Eight-door Golden Lock Formation, get up!"

With a soft shout, the Qimen Dunjia Technique immediately activated.

The golden light visible to the naked eye spilled out, filling the sights of the soldiers on both sides.

The turbulent water on the surface of the river stopped immediately under the suppression of the mysterious power of the formation.Even though the undercurrent was still raging under the surface of the river, there were no waves on it.

In the formation formed by iron chains, opening, resting, life, injury, death, scene, death, and shock all produce responses and reveal visions.

The eight gates echo each other, and the majestic power is integrated into one body, locking across the river.

The soldiers of the two armies, whose eyes were dazzled by the golden brilliance, opened their eyes again at this time, their hearts were shaken suddenly, and their faces showed astonishment, shock, and panic.

Above the sky, a huge figure suddenly broke into everyone's sight.

The tortoise and snake are on the same plate, and the basalt vision with mysterious patterns on the carapace floats above the heads of the Li Dynasty navy army. When the four legs are waving, the mysterious aura moves with it. Although the figure is slightly illusory, it is also It shows the appearance of a beast, which makes people horrified.

The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom and the generals of the Li Army had naturally never seen the vision of this army manifest before.However, in the cloud army, except for a few special units, they have also never seen the phenomenon of this army manifest.

Xia Jun will be demoralized because of the manifestation of Yun Jun's vision, and lose more than half of his combat power in vain. The same thing will happen to Yun Jun as well.

If it was put in the past, now on both sides of the strait, those county soldiers who had been out of battle for a long time, seeing the Xuanwu vision of the Li Dynasty navy manifested at this time, might be defeated and fled immediately.

But at this time, although these local county soldiers in Yunguo were shocked, they didn't show much fear.

On the basalt vision manifested by the Li Chao navy, golden light condensed and turned into eight chains, tightly locking the basalt vision.No matter how the vision struggles, please, but it is impossible to move.

At the same time, Li Chao's navy, which was traveling upstream at an extremely fast speed, suddenly paused and stopped in the middle of the river, unable to move.

Yang Dayan stood on the shore, his eyes wide open, after a long time of being stunned, he finally laughed twice, hugged Xu Shu who was beside him, and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, good skills, good skills! Xu Canjun, I did not misunderstand you! General, I am so happy today!"

At this time, Yang Dayan looked at the Li Chao Navy who was blocked in the river, and he was overjoyed.

Only relying on the deployment of more than a thousand elite soldiers, as well as the local garrisons in the surrounding counties, they were able to miraculously block the mighty and invincible Li Chao navy.

With all this credit, why doesn't His Majesty reward officials and promote him?In today's court, who else just looked down on Yang Dayan for being illiterate, and only relying on His Majesty's trustworthiness and relationship with Mistress Zhaoyi in the palace to have his current status?

Xu Shu was hugged by Yang Dayan, who was dripping with sweat, and subconsciously resisted.

He hastily and calmly broke free from Yang Dayan's arm, resisting the urge to take a few steps back, and said;
"You're too happy!"

"?"

Yang Dayan looked at Xu Shu and was slightly taken aback.

Xu Shu pointed to Jiang Mian, and said with a serious expression:
"General, don't be too happy. Because the navy in our hands is too weak to compete with Li Chao's navy. Therefore, I can only replace the eight-door golden lock array with Kong Ming's method of using dead objects to form an array."

When Zhuge Liang used dead objects in his courtyard, it obviously gave Xu Shu some inspiration.

That is to say, he won the mystery of this formation, not just learned a formation, so that he could temporarily inspire and deploy this formation with iron chains across the river.

Xu Shu paused, then continued:
"The formation of dead objects is naturally not as varied as the formation of soldiers. The formation lacks the eyes of the dragon platform, and [-]% of the power of this formation is lost. If the estimate is correct, this formation can at most stop Li Chaoshui Teacher, how many days..."

Hearing this, Yang Dayan was full of disbelief, and said:
"I think this Li Chao navy is suppressed to death..."

As soon as the words fell, there was only a faint sound, and a crisp "creak" suddenly sounded.

In an instant, only the cheers of Li Jun and the panic of Yun Jun could be heard at the same time.

This change made Yang Dayan's heart skip a beat, and he quickly looked up.

Then I saw that Xuanwu phantom struggling constantly in the sky, and one of the eight golden chains wrapped around his body was already broken free by him!
A criss-crossing iron cable on the river surface showed many broken lines in response to the sound, and it had not broken, but it was barely holding on to it.

Yang Dayan stared again, and couldn't help but swear:
"Damn it, is this one broken? Look, it doesn't look like it can last for a few days!"

Xu Shu didn't care about it, instead he smiled and explained:
"The Li army came to the north this time, and there was no obstacle along the way. The whole army was united and full of ambition, and they had already developed a strong army. This came along with the trend, and it was not easy to block it. Two or three iron cables were destroyed. As expected, only one was broken, which is considered a good thing. The Li Dynasty Navy was blocked here, and the army stagnated for a while, and then weakened, so it will be easier to deal with it later."

When Yang Dayan heard the words, he couldn't help but continue to ask:
"How about after a few days? How about spreading it again?"

Xu Shu heard the words, shook his head with a light smile, and said:

"You don't have to worry, General. After a few days, Kong Ming's side will be finished!"

Yang Dayan felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he thought that the two of them were really powerful, so he felt ruthless in his heart, and immediately stopped hesitating, gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, I'll leave it to you here! This general has dispatched [-] elite soldiers, and they are about to arrive. At that time, at worst, repair the water village along the way, and try our best to stop it!"

Xu Shu heard the words, but he didn't have the slightest worry at all, and said with a smile:
"General, relax..."
