Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 247

After the Battle of Dianbingtai, Liu Hunkang's breath was sluggish, and when he returned to the mansion, he asked Chen Xizhen to resign, saying that he would return to Maoshan to recuperate, and he would probably have his body dissected in Maoshan.

After Chen Xizhen comforted him for a while, he asked him to stay in Quancheng for a while, and his words were extremely earnest, Liu Hunkang didn't say much, and went back to his room to sleep and recuperate.

Wang Laozhi was staring at the puddle on the platform, and Chen Xizhen came to him and said to him: "Mr. Dongwei is one of the best alchemy figures in the world today, and there should be many panacea around him, right?"

Wang Laozhi turned his head: "The generals and Taoist officials in the army have their own wound medicines, which should be enough."

"Not enough! I want them to recover completely, leaving no hidden dangers behind."

Chen Xizhen said, "After this setback, Liangshan's soldiers and horses have nothing to do. The only way left is to retreat and defend Liangshanpo."

"No matter what, they still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If I want to use a large army to push them across, there will be days of fierce battles. Without the best medicine by my side, how can there be a difference between an officer, a general, and a grassroots bandit?"

Wang Laozhi nodded slightly: "I do have a lot of first-class elixirs around me, but I want you to exchange them with the corresponding 24 kinds of elixirs in the 24 chapters of your Longhushan Taiqing."

Chen Xizhen laughed, as if he had expected it, he took out a stack of thin pages made of pure gold from his sleeve, and handed it over.

The 24 pills of Taiqing are of course rare treasures, but even on Longhu Mountain, since the corpse of Tianshi Xujing was dissected 15 years ago, no one has been able to practice any of them.

Chen Xizhen didn't feel bad about exchanging these things for Wang Laozhi's panacea. If Wang Laozhi could practice Taiqing 24 pills in the future, it would be a good thing. Come a few.

Wang Laozhi took the 24 elixirs, his eyes glowed with light visible to the naked eye, and he still said: "Zhang Wanxian's forbidden law is broken, even if he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured. I want you to find a way to help me take him!"

Chen Xizhen straightened his face, and said: "There are still Guan Luoyang and Lin Lingsu on Liangshan Mountain. These two people are extremely difficult to deal with. Whether we can capture Zhang Wanxian depends on whether we can overwhelm these two people. If Mr. Dongwei wants to get his wish, come When the Japanese fight, we must do our best!"

These two people are indeed difficult to deal with, but after Liangshan soldiers and horses were defeated by the imperial army, the turbid air of one hundred thousand elite soldiers of the demonic way surrounded them, plus the evil spirit of blood on the battlefield at that time, Fenghui, Guan Sheng and others were in a dilemma. Strength can jump a big step.

As long as Guan Luoyang and Lin Lingsu were held back in the early stage, when the overall situation was settled, even if the two of them wanted to escape, it would be difficult for them to escape.

Wang Laozhi nodded slightly, took out a kit and handed it to Chen Xizhen, saying: "There are 320 pills in the bag, sealed with red lacquer wax, and they are used to make up for the dark wounds of the general of the magic way and restore his power."

"The pills contained in the sapphire bottle can be given to those Taoist officials. If it is an emergency, you can directly chew the sapphire bottle and swallow it. It will forcibly knead the vital energy of the five internal organs and stimulate mana. At the cost of serious injuries to the five internal organs, you can exchange for the medicine within ten breaths." Multiplied mana."

Chen Xizhen was overjoyed, he took the elixir and handed it out. This time, he didn't even deliberately treat Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo harshly, and ordered all the generals to rectify their troops.

At dusk, the spies sent out by Chen Xizhen reported one after another that all the dangerous roads from Quancheng to Liangshanpo had been found out, and there were no ambushes.

At the Liangshan military camp on the bank, when it was time to eat, there was no smoke rising from the kitchen. Kang Jie had the courage to enter the camp in person, checked it out, and saw that the camp was empty.

All the soldiers and horses in Liangshan should have withdrawn to the peaks and islands in the middle of the eight hundred miles of water.

The next day, Chen Xizhen left 12 soldiers and horses to guard Quancheng, and the remaining [-] officers, soldiers and private soldiers marched to the bank of Liangshan.

Because they were worried that there would be some kind of sneaky tricks in the camp left by Liangshan soldiers and horses, the officers and soldiers sent people to burn down the original camp and set up new camps.

Before the tents were set up, Chen Xizhen led a group of warlocks through the ruins of the Liangshan camp to the water's edge.

More than a thousand warlocks cast spells together, throwing thousands of wooden barrels larger than people into the reeds far away.

The wooden barrels burst after entering the water, and the oil flowers smudged on the water surface.

In the center of Shuibo, on the top of Liangshan Mountain, Guan Luoyang was leading a group of people to observe the situation of the officers and soldiers on the shore. Seeing this scene, he was a little puzzled: "What is that?"

Lu Da put his palm on his eyebrows, squinted his eyes, and said, "Is it oil?"

Guan Luoyang: "Huh?"

Both "Natural History" and "Shui Jing Zhu" in the Western Jin Dynasty recorded "spring water from Nanshan, Yanshou County, Jiuquan, Gansu Province." There is no difference between the ointment, the ointment and the water drum are very good, and the people in the other side call it stone paint."

Duan Chengwu of the Tang Dynasty wrote in "Youyang Zazu" that "Gaonu County's Shizhi water floats on the greasy water, like lacquer, and it is very bright when it is collected by burning lamps."

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Great Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo, an official of the dynasty, also mentioned this kind of thing in "Mengxi Bi Tan", and named it oil. Since then, people in Song Dynasty have called this thing oil.

What Chen Xizhen sent someone to throw into the water was indeed oil. After the oil drifted away, one of the warlocks did this by holding a yellow talisman in his hand, igniting a flame, and bouncing it into the water.

Immediately, a layer of flames spread wildly on the surface of the water. Wherever it passed, all the reeds were ignited, black smoke billowed, and the fire was monstrous.

Eight hundred miles of water, the reeds cover the edge of the water, occupying nearly one-fifth of the entire area of ​​the water.

This is a natural and dangerous place, even if thousands of small boats are lurking in it, no one can see any flaws if they look at it from the outside.

After entering the depths of the reed marshes, the large ships and large ships of the official army will also appear to be lost in a maze, adding many obstacles.

Chen Xizhen came here for the first time, but he was already on the map, and in the spy's message, he knew the topography of Liangshanshuipo like the back of his hand, and he wanted to destroy the reed marshes first.

Seeing that the fire is getting more and more fierce, it has the tendency to surround the entire water pond and burn all the reeds.

Guan Luoyang couldn't help shaking his head: "This is too wasteful."

Having said that, he didn't let Liangshan's people take action to interfere with the fire. He just dispatched multiple soldiers to walk back and forth between the peaks with flags, making a tight-knit appearance of defending against danger.

Chen Xizhen looked through the raging fire and saw many flags spread out on Liangshan Mountain, shuttling up and down between the peaks and jungles, conveying orders, and smiled slightly on his face.

He was not in a hurry to send troops to attack, but only let the soldiers rest well and recharge their batteries.

The fire in the reeds continued to burn until it was almost night before it was slowly extinguished. As far as the eye could see, there was a thick layer of ashes and dirt floating on the surface of the water, but there were no longer those tens of hundreds of years of growth that would not perish, covering the sky and the sun. of reeds.

When night fell, there was a sudden burst of gunfire from the shore.

The ammunition of the Dragon King Zun's cannon was almost used up when it attacked Quancheng. Even if it was not used up, the cannon fired here would not be able to hit the peaks of Liangshan, but the sound of the cannon could reach there.

With the sound of cannons, the sparse torches on Liangshan soon increased, and the fires flickered among the mountains, and countless figures hurriedly prepared for the battle.

The sound of gunfire on the shore stopped quickly, and after half an hour, there was still no sign of officers and soldiers attacking.

Most of the torches on Liangshan were gradually extinguished, leaving only a small number of torches lit. They were short of supplies, so torches had to be used sparingly.

At this moment, the sound of gunfire on the shore reappeared, and the officers and men's boats, crushing the dirt on the water surface, pushed away the dark waves, and marched towards the water.

Liang Shan became tense again, and the flames lit up, but those large ships, after driving forward for a certain distance, just floated there and did not move.

Another false alarm.

So again and again, the torches on Liangshan were clearly extinguished, and then they remained at a certain number. No matter how the officers and soldiers sounded the horns, beat the drums to cheer, and made noises in different ways, there were no more torches. reaction.

The human spirit is sometimes stronger than the body, but many times it is far weaker than the body. It is difficult to maintain a tight and focused state all the time. A high degree of tension will cause them to consume brain power and become more likely to become tired.

After several times of tossing and tossing, even if you can't see the expressions of Liang Shan's soldiers, you can see Liang Shan's fatigue and burnout just by the changes of those fire lights.

The strategy of exhausting soldiers has been accomplished!

Chen Xizhen stood on the deck of the building ship, looked at the mountains, and said in a low voice: "It's time."

Although his voice was low, the order spread to all the warlocks among the many buildings, and everyone did it together, stirring the smoke on the water surface to cover the hull, and then the strong wind blew.

The sails on the tall ship were bulging and the masts were rattling.

The soldiers on the small boat rowed the boat hard, following the wind, waves and thick fog.

There are no horns, no big drums, and the fog gradually fills the air. In the depths of the fog, it looks like a silent monster, opening its mouth to swallow the sky inch by inch, approaching the peaks of Liangshan with unpredictable speed.

Not long after, the frontmost building boat was only a hundred feet away from the shoal of Liangshan.

Liangshan's water army seemed to have reacted only at this time. Five hundred small boats, surrounded by three large ships, sailed from the west side of Liangshan to the fleet of officers and soldiers.

Many of their boats were originally fishermen's boats, and some were just rafts. The three big boats were captured from Yan Shude. They were said to be big boats, but they were actually only fifty feet long from end to end.

And Chen Xizhen's [-] large ships, with a length of nearly a hundred feet from head to tail, came swimming like ancient beasts. Only after the revival of the magic way, did the imperial court have such means, and such a foundation could be forged.

The structure of the hull is divided into five floors above the deck, and the guardrails on each floor are full of soldiers. Below the deck, the cabin is divided into three floors, with a draft of three feet deep.

On both sides of the hull, there are rows of muzzles, dark and eerie.

Compared with Liangshan's water army, even if people stand on the top of the mast, it can only be slightly higher than the deck of the officers and soldiers.

Their hulls seemed to be facing the guns of the officers and soldiers, like fat carp about to be crushed by giant crocodiles.

Chen Xizhen on the bow overlooked the west, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen Liang Shanshui's hull shattered, corpses flying around, and blood floating in the water.

However, no.

After Liangshan's navy had entered the range of the muzzle, the officers and men's ship did not fire, and there was a commotion in the cabin.

The smile on Chen Xizhen's face faltered, he frowned and listened carefully, distinguishing the noise coming from across the plank of the ship.

"Why did you fall down?!"

"Captain, Chief, wake up!"

"Why didn't you fire...how did you get unconscious?!"

Soon, he no longer had to listen to the movement in the cabin, because he was on these twenty building ships.

Around the five-story hull above the deck, more and more soldiers passed out for no reason, and like dumplings, they climbed over the guardrail and fell into the water.

On the other building boat, Gou Ying opened her palm and sucked a falling soldier into her palm, grabbed the collar and shook it, and said angrily: "It's a curse, the curse that these people had before could not be undone !"

No, it's not just that, there were only about [-] people who were cursed and lost their shadows, but now the number of people who have passed out among the officers and soldiers is far more than this number.

In the blink of an eye, a thought flashed in Gou Ying's mind: It's Liu Hunkang!The more than ten thousand ghost boys that Liu Hunkang asked them to find at that time have also passed out at this moment.

A dark wind flashed behind Gou Ying.

Thanks to his vigilance, he shrank his head to escape and escaped ten feet away, but the soldiers around him were not so lucky. In the blink of an eye, they were all beheaded by the wind blade.

The person who shot was a soldier with dark skin and pockmarks on his face. The officer's and soldier's knife in his hand had a wide back and a thin blade, and there was a violent whistling sound when he swiped lightly.

The half-moon-shaped wind blade flew out from the knife, enlarged rapidly, and circled around his body. Not only the armored bodies of the surrounding officers and soldiers were cut open, but also the hull guardrail, and even the sails engraved with many spells, A corner was also easily torn.

"Real Fu Xie, do you still remember Shi Bao's sword technique?"

Gou Ying looked over in shock.

I saw the pockmarks and black skin on the soldier's face, cracked and peeled off piece by piece, revealing the appearance of a stone treasure with a lion's nose and a wide mouth.

A whistle came from somewhere, between the buildings and boats, there were mixed private soldiers violently killing people, with white knives in and red knives out.

There is also a flying shuttle as small as a little finger, which shoots out from between the cuffs of these rebellious private soldiers. Even the officers and soldiers who are more powerful than them in the magic way are caught off guard.

No matter the heart, lungs, throat or forehead, if those shuttles go through, they will die on the spot.

Twenty officers and men building boats, all in chaos.

Some officers, soldiers and young generals, who heard that private soldiers rebelled and killed people, saw that there were private soldiers from wealthy families mixed in not long ago in their ranks, and they didn't listen to their excuses, so they raised their knives and chopped them down.

On the big ship at the back of the hall, there is an innate general who will command the soldiers.

He knew that it was impossible for all private soldiers to be traitors, but the situation had developed to such an extent that it was impossible to distinguish them carefully.

"All private soldiers, if they are not rebels, jump into the water immediately, and offenders will be killed without mercy!"

The nine-ring wind-splashing machete swept across the air in Fenghui's hand, and the saber energy spread out, rolling like a column, and smashed the dozens of people who killed him, including the flying shuttle and their bodies, into pieces.

"Private soldiers jump into the water, or they will be killed without mercy!!!"

He took a long breath, as if he had a big iron ball in his mouth, opened his mouth and roared out sound waves, the roar spread to other ships, and generals issued similar orders one after another.

At this moment, the nine-ringed machete, which killed all directions and was invincible, was pinched by a single hand.

The unattractive short-bearded pawn pinched the blade to make it still, then easily spread his five fingers, and pushed the blade against the blade with his palm.

His palm didn't really touch the blade, but Feng Hui felt that the big knife in his hand suddenly accelerated to an unacceptable level.

With a buzzing sound, the broadsword turned into a ray of iron-red light and shot into the night sky.

Fenghui's arm was driven by the blade, and he pulled it aside fiercely. Although the bones were not broken, the five fingers and the tiger's mouth that were shaking hands were worn out by the handle, and the blood flowed continuously.

"who are you?"

Fenghui gave a tiger roar, using his palm as a knife, and rushed forward. The turbid air and the general's luck in the court mixed into a golden and black light, entangled and flowed around his body, bursting out with an indomitable and fierce knife momentum.

The pawn's left arm was flaunted, and the saber energy shot out from his side, killing hundreds of soldiers. Pressing his right palm forward, a small spinning fireball was born from the palm, expanding wildly, and emitting the sound of high-temperature distorted air. Hit the wind will.

The wind will spit blood backwards.

"The Heart Sutra of Precious Sun and Moon Movement." Wang Laozhi's voice came, "It turned out to be you."

The pawn took Wang Laozhi's palm sideways, and the camouflage on his body was shattered, and pieces of his clothes flew away, revealing Fang La's true face.

Wang Laozhi felt that the skill of this defeated opponent was far superior to the past, and his heart moved: "It seems that the so-called three forbidden methods of heavenly light are just an excuse."

When the officers and soldiers accepted the private soldiers, they carefully screened whether there were Liangshan soldiers and horses mixed in, but they didn't know that there was Fang La behind the 28 villages in Qingzhou, and they didn't know that Qingzhou 28 soldiers were mixed in among those private soldiers. The elite of the village.

The training methods of these people, except for some heresy spells, are no different from the private soldiers of the rich family. It is like a natural counterpart to mix in, which is very different from the style of the Liangshan Rebels.

After these Qingzhou elites were mixed, they secretly cast the magic of Bao Sun and Moon Lineage when they slept at night, making the shadows of the officers and soldiers around them disappear temporarily.

This kind of spell does no actual damage at all. As long as the next day dawns, the shadow will recover.

However, Guan Luoyang persuaded Liu Hunkang, and the ceremony held on the spotting field kept 2 people in the dark, and voluntarily completed the steps of the real surgery, which led to today's event The phenomenon of a coma.

Liu Hunkang really suffered a lot, but Zhang Wanxian...

"Dongfang Yimu, the Azure Dragon blesses you!"

When the officers and soldiers were in turmoil, the ships of the Liang Shanshui Division finally approached the building ships of the officers and soldiers.

All the rafts and boats, including the wood on the three warships, have been pasted with yellow symbols one by one.

Just as Zhang Wanxian's voice spread, the yellow talisman burst into flames.

The long-dead wood sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and countless vines grew out, extending to the large ship of the officers and soldiers, entangled around the edge of the large ship's deck, and forming bridges dotted with green leaves.

Liangshan soldiers and horses, dressed in red like fire, climbed onto the deck along the bridge and officially entered the battlefield.

Many changes happened almost simultaneously.

Chen Xizhen pinched the sword formula with his hands, his eyes were filled with emotions, and he scanned his surroundings, but for a moment he didn't know where to send his flying sword.

suddenly!The warm wind roared out from Liangshan, blowing away the wet fog.

Chen Xizhen's Taoist robe was blown up by the strong wind, and he looked up at the top of Liangshan.

Guan Luoyang put one hand behind his back, gently stretched out his right palm, and pinched it with five fingers.

The torches all over the mountain ignited again with a whirring sound, illuminating the Liangshan soldiers who were full of energy and swords in their hands.

The ups and downs of the mountains, the light and dark tricks of the torches, are all controlled by Guan Luoyang alone.

Liangshan soldiers and horses were all well fed and recuperating. At this time, as the horn sounded, they rushed out of the jungle all over the mountains, relying on the reduced gravity, galloping on water, and killing the officers and soldiers.

"Marshal Chen, are you having fun?"

Guan Luoyang's ten thousand troops came out together, and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I still don't like this kind of slow fighting style, so you don't have another chance."

Chen Xizhen didn't say a word, Yu Jian charged towards the top of the mountain, his sword was roaring like a dragon, like a tiger, like a trapped beast that just fell into a trap.

But this is not the time of entry.

When the bait is swallowed step by step, and the prey goes deeper step by step, the crusaders who come full of killing and arrogance will only be shocked when they step into the end.

——The situation has reversed, and the one who is entrenched in the mountains is the real beast that devours the sky.
