Chapter 160

"How? Can I enter the city?"

As the night was getting darker, Zhao Mi stood by the river bank, and Yuan Wujiao with the red talisman on his head said, "No way! I tried several water veins, and the vines grew everywhere, and there was no way to go."

"What kind of vine is that, do you know it?" Zhao Mi asked.

Yuan Wujiao shook his head: "This disciple has never seen it before. The vines have both virtual and real. In addition to blocking the water veins, they are also absorbing the energy of the earth veins and interweaving them into a dense web. When I try to get close, I feel that the qi and blood float."

"I found it too." Zhao Mi looked at Dantu County in the distance, and there was a faint light of fire on the top of the city, reflecting the gloomy light and shadow.

Using Yingxuan's landscape photography technique, the entire city of Dantu seems to be entwined with countless vines. The vines form a net to protect the city outline, making it impossible for officials and soldiers to enter the altar to investigate.Yuan Wujiao tried to escape through the underground water veins, but was also blocked.

"You have to work harder these days. Keep an eye on the upstream and downstream waterways for me. If there are soldiers and horses of unknown origin, or monk Wu Zhu, please report to me immediately." Zhao Mi sent an apricot elixir by the way.

Yuan Wujiao opened his mouth and swallowed the elixir, his interest soared: "This disciple will definitely fulfill his mission!"

After saying this, Yuan Wujiao jumped into the river, followed by a school of fish, and went away in a blink of an eye.

Yuan Wujiao is an aquarium monster, and now he has achieved a little success in cultivation, and can drive other aquarium creatures without spiritual intelligence, which is much more majestic than before.

And Zhao Shu used the law to summon Yuan Wujiao, and he could also use him to control the river. Earlier, he used this to let the grain transport ship move without oars, and rescued a group of people in Dantu County.

"Now Dantu County has been covered by the formation of Wu Zhu of Jiuli Kingdom, and the officials, soldiers, ghosts and spirits of the altar of talismans are unable to enter." Zhao Mi returned to the big tent in the camp, looked around at the accompanying monks, and asked, "Can you help me?" Another way?"

"We have tried using a mirror to perform the technique of moving the scene according to the object, but the scene that emerges in the mirror is messy and blurred." A monk from Huaiyingguan said: "As for the Zhihedaimu, we can only visit it from a distance. If it flies to the sky over Dantu County , and was immediately knocked down by the uncertain vines."

"Fa Jing..." Zhao Shu looked at Liang Hui who was traveling with him, "Daoyou Liang, apart from making alchemy, your hall also offers sacrifices to make a magic mirror. I wonder if you can find out the enemy's deployment in the city?"

Liang Hui showed embarrassment: "I tried it during the day, but what I saw in the mirror was not the scenery in the city, but the images of babies crying and women crying. The fields were full of blood, which cut off the power of the magic mirror."

Zhao Shu murmured, "Could it be that the formation of the Jiuli Kingdom was formed by blood sacrifices to babies and women?"

Most of the monks present changed their colors, some were shocked and some were disgusted. One of the female cultivators of Mingxia Pavilion stood up angrily: "Jiulian Nanman is brutal and innocent, please give the order of Marquis Zhenming to attack the city as soon as possible!"

"Fellow Daoist Ding, be safe and don't be impatient."

Zhao Mi looked at this beautiful woman with eagle eyebrows and phoenix eyes. Most of the other Mingxia Hall disciples had graceful skirts and light gauze, but this Ding Muqiu was wearing a strong dress with arrow sleeves, long boots, and her long hair tied casually. With a high ponytail thrown behind her head, she is full of the gallant and heroic posture of a Jianghu heroine, her words and deeds are hot and fast, only a purple silk with a waist reveals her femininity.

It is said that Ding Muqiu is a distant relative of Ding Feiling, the head of the Mingxia Hall, with a good cultivation, obviously he was trained as the head of the future.This time Ding Shouzuo brought her along by the way, and asked Ding Muqiu to stay at Jianjiaguan to assist Zhao Mi before supporting General Wei.

In terms of experience and achievements, it is obvious that General Wei's front line is more suitable.It is estimated that Ding Shouzuo knew that this disciple was impulsive and prone to bad things, so he asked Ding Muqiu to stay in Jianjiaguan, and asked Zhao Mi to take care of her before leaving.

Zhao Mi was so busy that he was about to lose his head, how could he take care of such a young lady?Ding Shouzuo's inexplicable concern for him, Zhao Mi vaguely guessed the other party's intention, and now the younger generation of the clan came here, the intention could not be more obvious.

"Marquis Zhenming, do you want to sit back and watch the people in the city die at the hands of evil liches and monsters?" Ding Muqiu raised his eyebrows with awe-inspiring righteousness.

For some reason, Zhao Mi felt that her facial features were somewhat familiar.Putting aside distracting thoughts, Zhao Mi said seriously: "Why don't I want to rescue the people in the city as soon as possible? But the number and strength of Wuzhu in Jiuli Kingdom are still unclear. From the mouths of the people who fled out of the city, the number of barbarians in Dantu County is currently Although they are only three thousand, they are all brave and good at fighting, and they can run for more than two hundred miles in a day and night. When we confront them head-on, the chances of victory are uncertain."

Those few veterans who had contact with Chi Yun were worthy of the long history of the war. Before fleeing Dantu County, they had roughly figured out the number of Jiuli soldiers who captured the city in this surprise attack.

"Currently there are seven to eight thousand soldiers in our army." Chen Xiaowei said, "Besides the prisoner soldiers, the rest are recruits recruited recently. Although there are drills, it may not be enough to forcibly attack the city."

Zhao Mi said: "I have already sent letters to the magistrates of the surrounding counties and counties to mobilize Ding Zhuang and Xiangyong to come to support. It is not a problem to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Moreover, our army has built villages along the river and guarded the waterways, and the transfer of grain and grass in the upper reaches is difficult Absolutely, there is no need to worry about logistical supplies."

Liang Hui asked, "Marquis Zhenming intends to besiege rather than attack?"

Before Zhao Mi could speak, Ding Muqiu interrupted, "How can Marquis Zhenming be so cold and cruel? If you besiege the city and don't attack it, wouldn't you let the evil witches and barbarians kill the people in the city?"

"Dantu County is an important food and grass transshipment town. It would be the best if we can successfully recapture it. Besides, thousands of our soldiers and horses are also restrained here. The troops in Jianjia Pass are weak. This is a serious problem!" Zhao Mi said:

"But right now the city is protected by formations, and the effectiveness of spells to siege the city is greatly reduced. Only relying on the soldiers to attack the city will cause heavy casualties, and it may not be successful. In fact, I hope to force the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom to take the initiative to leave the city to fight us."

Liang Hui shook his head slightly: "But now the enemy army clearly insists on holding on, unless the situation is exhausted, I'm afraid they won't take the risk to break through."

Chen Xiaowei also said: "Jiuli Kingdom's surprise attack today is probably also to transfer our soldiers and horses away from Jianjia Pass. If Dantu County cannot be taken back as soon as possible, I am afraid that another enemy army will attack Jianjia Pass."

Liang Hui was puzzled: "Can the Jiuli Kingdom really mobilize so many troops? General Wei is still fighting them on the front line."

Zhao Mi reminded: "Don't forget, this time Jiuli Kingdom also has evil cultivators from the Corpse Cult to help out. General Wei has already fought against corpses on the front line."

"Hasn't Marquis Zhenming already fully prepared to deal with the walking corpse?" Ding Muqiu put one hand on his hip, "The Jade Corpse Cult will eventually practice heresy and heresy, so it's hard to make a big deal."

"It can't be done, but it can be done badly." Zhao Mi scratched his head: "The most important thing now is to try to break the formation, so that we can attack the city. Even if I personally bring all the comrades, fly into the city and kill The enemy commander must break the formation first."

Zhao Mi felt quite helpless. In fact, he had once again descended on the altar today and sent down thunder arrows, but the power of the thunder was still not enough to break through the formation with the help of the officials and soldiers on the altar. shallow.

It can only be said that after being honed in the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, even the Nantu Wu Zhu, who is regarded as not being transformed into a king, has a talent to boast about.Zhao Mi's rituals and rituals are far from enough to allow him to run amok.

"Lieutenant Chen, when will the siege equipment be completed?" Zhao Mi asked.

"Speed ​​up the repairs tonight, and it should be completed tomorrow."

Zhao Mi nodded when he heard the words, at this time Zhang Liwei quickly stepped into the tent: "Report to Zhao Changshi that there are snakes and insects infested near the camp."

"Oh?" Zhao Mi showed a vigilant look, got up and said, "Lead the way ahead!"

When he came to the outskirts of the camp, Zhao Mi saw more than a dozen centipedes, all curled up into a ball.

"As instructed, we carried the incense burner around the village and found this pile of dead centipedes by chance," Zhang Liwei said.

Zhao Mi leaned over to inspect it, and those centipedes curled up were the size of a water basin, obviously they were not ordinary snakes.The carapace on the back is very hard, and it takes some effort to cut it with a sword.

"Could it be a Gu master from Jiuli Kingdom?" Liang Hui asked in surprise.

Ding Muqiu snorted coldly: "Seeing that it is difficult to break through, do we have to rely on Gu insects to poison the soldiers?"

"Nantu Gu art is not a great way, but it should not be underestimated." Zhao Mi said solemnly: "Gu insects can be big or small, the big ones are like cows and horses, and can carry people and loads, while the small ones penetrate into the seven orifices and invade the five treasures. , it’s hard to detect. The reason why I burn incense day and night and hang amulets everywhere in the camp is to prevent the harm of Gu insects.”

Liang Hui asked: "Marquis Zhenming seems to know a lot about Gu art?"

Zhao Mi was a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "I... I met a Gu master by chance in my childhood, and it was considered a disadvantage, so I spent my time dealing with it."

Zhang Liwei asked from the side: "How to deal with these Gu worms?"

Zhao Mi took out the Qingxuan brush and drew a few false strokes, attracting raging flames and burning a dozen centipedes to ashes in a blink of an eye.

"These Gu worms are raised by secret methods, and they might hide their vitality." Zhao Mi said, "If you touch them indiscriminately, and the Gu worms suddenly wake up and take a bite, they may not even run back to the camp to report. Too late."

"That being said, the effect of Gu poison on those who have achieved success in cultivation is expected to be mediocre." Ding Muqiu did not hide his confidence: "Moreover, Gu masters are not good at fighting head-on. If we see it on the battlefield, we have plenty of countermeasures."

Zhao Mi didn't like these words very much, and frowned: "Successful in cultivation? How many people like this are there in the camp now? Why do Gu Masters want to fight with you and me head-on? They released Gu insects to come here with the intention It is to spy on the camp."

Ding Muqiu pursed his lips slightly, although he didn't say anything to refute, but he was obviously not convinced.

"Marquis Zhenming, although there is no shortage of food and grass in the camp, there is not enough incense medicine to drive away Gu insects and pestilence." Liang Hui reminded: "According to your instructions, go around the camp every day to burn incense. If this goes on like this, the fragrance medicine will bottom out in three to five days."

"I understand." Zhao Mi looked at Dantu County and made up his mind: "Tomorrow, attack the city!"

……

Listening to the roaring sounds coming from outside the city wall, even the ground in Dantu County trembled slightly.

Standing in the empty courtyard, Miao Suoluo performed spells on a simple black glazed pottery pot. After a while, countless locusts rushed out of the pottery pot like billowing black smoke. Head flew away.

The roaring explosion outside the city wall immediately slowed down, and Miao Suoluo lightly jumped onto the roof. From a distance, there were several monks from the Huaxu Kingdom in the mid-air outside the city, offering magic weapons to resist countless locusts.

The most conspicuous person among them is a heroic woman, dancing and circling the purple silk in her hands, as if calling out a dense cloud of purple air, light but with a fierce offensive, densely packed locusts approached a little, and were immediately crushed into fly ash.

"Tsk, where did the tigress come from?" Miao Suoluo showed displeasure.

Just as the migrating locusts were restraining a few monks, She Luodiao jumped off the city wall, wrapped in wild boar skin on his back, and immediately turned into a strong and fierce big wild boar, with a protruding back one foot high and two snow-white fangs With a sharp edge, he saw him stepping on all fours and rushing towards the Huaxu National Army formation.

Now the soldiers and horses of Huaxu State are attacking the city wall with various catapults and ballista vehicles. Once these siege equipment is fixed, it is inconvenient to move, and there are large armies arrayed around the siege equipment.

She Luobai's move was not to break through the siege, but to take the opportunity to destroy the siege equipment, relying on the size of a hill and the speed faster than a galloping horse, let alone a mortal body, even a city wall can break through. A hole!
Seeing this strong elephant-like wild boar rushing towards the formation, the army's formation gradually became disorganized, no matter how brave the soldiers were, they dared not face such a fierce beast head-on.

"presumptuous!"

There was a loud shout from the rear of the army formation, and then the roar of the tiger gave off a golden wind, passing by the forest of spears, a black iron tiger of the same size charged straight at it, and collided fiercely with the white wild boar.

Shenhu's true form punched and scissored, and each blow was comparable to hitting the ground with a mighty hammer, causing dust to fly and splatter.The giant white wild boar has solid skin, strong muscles and strong bones. An ordinary wild boar has already been patted into a meat paste, but he has no damage. Fly it.

At this moment, the drums sounded and the flags waved, the army quickly got out of the way, the ballista adjusted its angle, and at the same time several monks waved their hands and flew the talismans, making the ground under the giant white fang pig's feet suddenly turn into a quagmire, making it difficult to lift its limbs.

"put!"

With an order, the ballista shot out a ray of black light, and the god tiger's true form turned into the size of a tiger charm and flew away, allowing the spear-sized crossbow arrows to hit the body of the giant white-leaved pig.

I saw the giant pig staggered and fell into the mud, and at the same time let out a roar, and the man's cry of pain was superimposed on the roar.But the crossbow bolt made of fine iron was only nailed into a small section, and most of the rest was still dangling outside the body.

"Damn it, can this pig be made of iron?" The soldiers who used the ballista were also frightened. One arrow from the ballista of Huaxu Kingdom can be nailed into the city wall. It was about to blow a hole in the city wall of Dantu County.In the end, when facing this big wild boar, it only inserted a small piece?

"Take it!"

After the formation, Zhao Mi shouted loudly, and several monks sacrificed their magic treasures and spells, and a force of prohibition and closure covered the giant white-leaved pig.

Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, She Luodrill again exerted his divine power, and a round of totem light bloomed in front of the formation, destroying all kinds of spells, and the crossbow arrows nailed into the body were forced out inch by inch.

Zhao Mi didn't give him a chance, and with a slap of the token, the spells on the altar flew around and turned into sword lights.At the same time, a snow-white figure came to the midair of the battlefield, it was Lu Wangji flying across the harp, with fairy sleeves fluttering, stroking the strings and playing music.

For a moment, the piano and sword are simultaneously struck, and the power is condensed, and it comes over the top!
