Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

After Su Li executed the two traitors, he fabricated some evidence and then made a report.

The other two traitors thought they had escaped a terrible fate.

But in reality, Su Li was watching them.

Su Li was just waiting for them to start causing trouble again, and then she would turn the tables on them.

Basically, the entire army believed that all the traitors in Ceres had been executed, so the army's cohesion returned.

In fact, only Su Li knew who the other two were.

Su Li wanted these traitorous dogs to personally kill their master!

......

"Woo! Woo! Woo!!!"

And that was the day after Su Li finished his trial.

Xuanxiao led a million-strong army in an attack!

Su Li did not defend the city.

The main problem is that the magic array in Valley God City is not yet ready, and various cultivators are still working hard to repair it.

I must repair the magic array of Valley God City.

In wars between cultivators, magic arrays are of paramount importance!

So Su Li took the initiative.

The army of 200,000 formed a long, serpentine formation.

The so-called "long snake formation" simply means arranging troops into a long line and adapting to changing circumstances in battle. It is often used as a single column for marching or pursuit. Although it has high mobility, its combat effectiveness is relatively weak.

The Long Snake Formation is derived from the habits of snakes, and it has three variations: striking the snake's head, causing the tail to move and coil; striking the snake's tail, causing the head to move and bite; and the snake's body colliding horizontally, causing the head and tail to meet and twist.

With these three changes, the Long Serpent Formation operates like a giant python striking, its attacks fierce and powerful.

This type of formation had not been trained by the soldiers before.

But it doesn't matter at all.

Because the Peak Master of Painting Peak is there.

The master of Huafeng Peak, Huamei, possesses a technique that allows him to draw something on paper and then have a cultivator consume it, thus creating a short-term memory of it.

This is how the 200,000 generals mastered the long snake formation.

Faced with this formation, Xuanxiao was completely bewildered.

Xuanxiao had never seen such a formation before.

Xuanxiao organized several attacks, but they were all blocked by the long snake formation.

Moreover, the blood energy on the battlefield kept condensing, eventually forming a gigantic blood python!

The Dharma Image stood blocking Gu Shen City's path, and Xuan Xiao had no way to break through.

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Li led the Ten Thousand Swords Army into the battlefield.

Wan Jianjun no longer fought alone, but instead used the Fish Scale Formation under Su Li's command.

The fish scale formation aims to break through the center during battle, concentrating forces to launch a fierce attack on the center of the enemy formation. It is usually used when one side has the advantage. The weakness of the formation lies in the rear flanks.

Su Li positioned himself in the center of the formation, while the main force was concentrated in the center, divided into several small, fish-scale-shaped square formations, arranged in tiers, with a slightly protruding front end, which was an offensive formation.

Its layout is well-organized, as fine and dense as fish scales.

In this way, the sword energy of ten thousand sword cultivators can be condensed to form unparalleled power!

These two formations completely stunned the raging million-strong army.

Xuanxiao quickly identified the weak point of the long snake formation.

The name "long snake" is self-explanatory.

All you need to do is grab its head, clamp its tail, and cut its waist! That will break the formation!

Therefore, Xuanxiao used two tiger demon formations to cooperate in stopping the movement of the enemy's flank cavalry, preventing them from exerting their mobility and flexibility.

Then, Xuanxiao mobilized all the soldiers of the Giant Kingdom and launched a powerful charge against their snake-belly infantry, scattering their formation and causing them to fall into disarray!

In this way, the enemy's formation can be defeated in one fell swoop, cutting the long snake formation into three parts. The long snake formation will fight independently and will no longer be able to cooperate in the three-way battle. The formation will collapse on its own!

The idea is good.

Unfortunately, the weak point was defended by the fish scale formation!

If the Long Snake Formation at this point were likened to a snake, then its weak point would be its thick armor!

Moreover, compared to the first time entering the battlefield.

Xuanxiao could sense that these ten thousand sword cultivators were making rapid progress!

And they had no hesitation whatsoever!

It was as if they were no longer thinking, "If only I weren't on the battlefield," but rather, "I must keep killing until I can survive on this battlefield!"

With this mindset, combat power has increased by more than one level!

"Withdraw the troops!"

Seeing the situation was turning bad, they clamored for an immediate withdrawal!

If the fighting continues, the morale of our side will be greatly affected.

After Xuanxiao retreated, the soldiers of Gushen City did not pursue him, but returned directly to the city.

This victory greatly dampened the morale of the clamoring army, while the vast majority of soldiers in Gushen City saw hope!

This city! Perhaps it really can be defended any longer!

But Su Li disagreed.

Su Li felt an even greater sense of urgency!

The Long Snake Formation can be considered the essence of ancient battlefield formations on Blue Ocean Star!

Unexpectedly, this clamor was resolved within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

If it weren't for the fish-scale formation protecting the long snake formation, things would have been really troublesome.

No.

Have to think of a way.

The next day, Xuanxiao launched another attack.

This time, after a night of discussion, Xuanxiao has found a way to break the fish scale formation!

Xuanxiao originally thought that Su Li was stationed at the end of the Fish Scale Formation because that was the strongest place!

But Xuanxiao realized he was wrong!

Because the end of the fish scale formation is a weak point, Su Li personally guarded the end!

So, Xuanxiao recklessly piled up troops at the rear.

Whether it was the seven sword cultivators of the [Dark Current] or the other generals of the Upper Five Realms, they all rushed forward to trap Su Li.

After trapping Su Li, the weakness at the end was exposed, and Xuanxiao gathered his forces to attack again!

"Indeed, fame on the battlefield is earned through bloodshed!"

Just as the Fish Scale Formation was about to be breached and the One-Word Long Snake Formation was on the verge of collapse, and all the soldiers of Valley God Pass were about to be caught in a chaotic battle at a disadvantage, Su Li swung a sword aura into the sky.

This sword energy exploded and dispersed directly in the sky!

Upon receiving the order, all the cultivators and soldiers of the Wan Jian Army retreated.

Square and circular formation!

In the Battle of Changping in 260 BC, Zhao Kuo, a general of the Zhao state, used the Square Formation to fight against the Qin state. Although he was defeated, he used this formation to hold off the Qin state for many days.

In simple terms, the square-circle formation is a combination of square and circle formations, consisting of multiple square formations forming a large circle, with layers of troops deployed on the outer perimeter for defense.

Su Li placed the sword cultivators and martial arts practitioners on the outside, forming the hardest inner shell.

Then, they launched an attack, including pure Qi cultivators (mages), under the cover of sword cultivators and martial arts practitioners.

Their formation is particularly dense, giving them extremely strong defensive capabilities. However, it is precisely because of the high density of their forces that their mobility is greatly reduced.

However, given the current situation, what Ceres Castle needs is time and a desperate defense; what it least needs is mobility.

This formation can even expand outwards, forming a Bagua formation in a very short time, which left Xuanxiao dumbfounded.

Why are there so many inexplicable formations when Su Li arrives, and why are they so effective?

With Su Li in command, Xuanxiao's army suffered a crushing defeat.

For the next month, Xuanxiao launched a small attack every three days and a major attack every five days!

However, they were all blocked by Su Li's formation.

Xuanxiao did consider launching an airstrike!

The problem is that cultivators who can fly must be at least at the Cave Abode Realm!

Moreover, there aren't many of those flying monsters on our side!

What angered Xuanxiao the most was that the blood energy from the battlefield would also radiate into the air. With a slap of the tail of that giant blood energy python, some soldiers who attempted an air raid were flung away.

A month later, the formation of Valley God City had been almost repaired, and troops were continuously converging on Valley God City, making it increasingly impregnable.

But one day, two traitors in Ceres received a letter from Xuanxiao.

Chapter 785 A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity (4000 words)

The Xuanxiao army has already stopped its siege.

The city walls of Ceres were peaceful and serene.

Outside the city of Gushen, on that battlefield, lay the corpses of both humans and demons.

The enemy's sudden abandonment of the attack left the soldiers of Gushen City somewhat disoriented.

However, the soldiers of Ceres City did not let their guard down at all, feeling that the enemy was brewing some big move, waiting for the crucial moment to suddenly strike.

Of course, it's best if the opponent doesn't attack.

The strategic point of Ceres Castle is to hold off the enemy and then find an opportunity to launch a direct counterattack!

As for counterattacks, they are military actions that can only be taken if the defense is very easy and there is no risk of losing ground.

This is already a fairly high requirement.

If you can't do it, that's fine, but the most important thing is that you just procrastinate.

Therefore, if the enemy doesn't attack the city, it's even more advantageous for our side.

Now, all the magic arrays in Valley God City have been repaired.

The moment the magic array was completed, many Mo family cultivators collapsed on the spot from exhaustion... they were completely worn out...

The emergency repairs these past few days have truly exhausted them; they feel they've never been so tired in their lives.

Especially during the war, with battle raging both below the city and in the sky, they had to repair the magic array at the risk of being bombed to death at any moment, which required immense composure!

But they did it!

In order to repair the magic array of Valley God City, a great deal of rare and precious materials were consumed.

Although the magic array of Valley God City is not as good as it was at its peak.

But it already has 90% of its power, which is enough.

In addition, more and more soldiers are continuously heading to Ceres City.

In fact, as the war has progressed to this point, troop strength is extremely tight, and every city is short of manpower.

Many cities were not so willing to lend troops.

But there was no other way. Su Li held the gold medal, and if they didn't lend him troops, it would be disobeying the imperial decree.

As for the consequences of disobeying the imperial edict, they were the execution of nine generations of one's family...
