Chapter 18: Human Spells
Under the light of the arrow, Luo Dagang seemed to have no time to react and was hit in the middle of the eyebrows by the arrow.
In the light of the arrow, Luo Dagang flew away like a ball of gray, and the nearly a thousand evil soldiers around him disappeared in his scattered black and gray.
I saw the black and gray rolling up, as if it was about to go straight to the top of the city.
"shallow."
Suddenly someone sneered at the top of the city. The sound was not loud, but Yi Yan could hear it clearly from such a distance, as if he was just talking in his ear.
Then Yi Yan saw a huge phantom appearing at the top of the city. The phantom is wearing the official uniform of the Qing army admiral, two or three meters tall, with a beard in his hand, and the halberd is about two or three meters long. When the halberd appears in his hand, it has suddenly rolled towards the black and gray thorns under the city. It is like a deep sea yaksha appears on the sea surface, holding a fork to stab the giant beast in the sea.
"The ten directions are destroyed."
Yi Yan's ears came to a voice, which was spoken by a monk from the Taiping Army near him.
The moment the huge shadow on the top of the city thorned, the black and gray rolled up like a tsunami and scattered in an instant. In a vague way, Yi Yan heard a muffled groan, and then the thick black and gray smoke rolled out of the city like a falling tide. In a blink of an eye, it had reached the place where Yi Yan and the others were ambushing, and people appeared. Luo Dagang was among them covered his chest with one hand.
His gray velvet, which had faintly flashed silver light, was already dull at this time, and his chest was stained with blood, and blood was still oozing out, and his face was even pale. Although his evil soldiers were not dead, they all looked like they were seriously injured in their vitality and were depressed.
Yi Yan sighed in his heart. When he first came here this morning, Luo Dagang wanted to find trouble for Hong Xiuquan before he could see him, because Yi Yan had taken over his evil soldier, and was finally dispersed by Hong Xiuquan's inquiry to discuss the matter of breaking Guilin. Otherwise, he would have been afraid that Yi Yan would have a fight with him at that time.
Luo Dagang was powerful and extremely powerful at that time.
Yi Yan sighed here that he actually dared to take his evil soldiers and wanted to force the city to the top of the city. If there were no monks on the city, he might attack, but there was clearly a powerful monk on the top of the city. The previous arrow light was shot out by the guard guarding the city gate, and the huge phantom and the sound of "shallowness" behind it meant that it was Admiral Xiang Rong at the top of the city.
Yi Yan had been in the Taiping Army for so long, how could he not recognize Xiang Rong? Xiang Rong was one of the highest commanders of the Qing army to encircle Yong'an. However, what really made Yi Yan remember him was his strong evil spirit, which was the blood evil spirit that only a real general would have, and was born from the battle.
Xiang Rong was the admiral of Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty. He stood at the top of the city and was able to mobilize the power of the entire city. It can be said that the moment he took action represented the sky of the Qing Dynasty. It is rare for Luo Dagang to survive.
"withdraw."
With a command, everyone retreated quickly.
No one had thought before that Xiang Rong would actually be in this Guilin City. When Yi Yan retreated, he thought to himself that now he could not cheat the city, so he could only attack.
They retreated silently.
The reason why the Taiping Army attacked Guilin was that Guilin was more conducive to the strategic position of the Taiping Army's next development, and the other was that it found that Guilin defenders were insufficient.
Despite this, Guilin is far stronger and taller than Yong'an, with 1,340 marches, ten city towers, 32 woven walls, twenty-two cannon defenses, twelve miles around the city, and five times more defensive fortifications than Yong'an.
So when Yi Yan retreated to the hidden valley camp before, he was summoned by Hong Xiuquan again. Since the war, all the monks who had no knowledge of the battlefield army have become no longer as ignorant as before.
But now it is a war between practitioners, and it cannot be measured by the principles of conducting battlefields between ordinary people.
For example, when setting up a camp, you must choose a good terrain, which must be consistent with the military, terrain, and water sources, and it must be able to form a magic circle.
The most important thing is to form a magic circle, so that the enemy cannot peek at him through magic. Although the evil spirit on the battlefield causes practitioners to see not far, every practitioner is afraid that other monks can do what they cannot do.
At this time, the Taiping Army was stationed in the place where the Taiping Army was stationed had not yet set up a whole magic array, and there were only small simple magic arrays that were laid out by monks themselves.
The camp where Hong Xiuquan is located is in the middle, and the messenger is in and out. A young man walks out of the door and meets Yi Yan head-on.
"Long live the young master." Yi Yan said to the young man.
This person is the son of Hong Xiuquan, born to his first wife Lai, and is named Hong Tian Guifu.
"Mr. Qisu, I'm so energetic." Hong Tianguifu was about the same age as Yi Yan, and said to Yi Yan with a smile. Although he was wearing clothes symbolizing noble status in the Taiping Army, he did not look arrogant in his words. For Yi Yan, his words seemed very close to him.
The two said some polite words, and then Yi Yan got into the tent.
After walking in, the atmosphere inside was a little depressing. Hong Xiuquan was sitting in the main seat inside. Yi Yan didn't see any changes in him, but he just felt that he was getting more and more vigorous, like a pine tree on a cliff.
On the left is Yang Xiuqing, his body exudes a more compelling edge, Hong Xiuquan is a mediocre pine, so Yang Xiuqing is like a blooming charming flower, attracting everyone's eyes. On the right is Feng Yunshan, the king of Southern. He is like a teacher, wearing a plain white robe. The plain white is worn by talents in the Taiping Army, but he is wearing it like a wild flower silently dotted with green pine and cliffs.
Feng Yunshan was originally Hong Xiuquan's military advisor and the only one under Hong Xiuquan. There was another Yang Xiuqing behind him. Yang Xiuqing became Zuo Fuzheng's military advisor, and Feng Yunshan was the deputy.
Below the two were Xiao Chaogui, Shi Dakai, Wei Changhui, and some prime ministers. Next were those monks. There were more than 30 monks in total, and they were arranged on both sides. These monks did not have obvious differences in the size of their official positions. Most of them were about the same, and they didn't care much about the size of their official positions.
Yi Yan stood directly at the last one, and after a while, several monks came in.
At this time, Hong Xiuquan said: "Guilin City is strong and Xiang Rong is guarding. Although there are insufficient troops, it is not easy to attack. What are the wonderful methods you have?"
It is not very reliable to Yi Yan's opinion that most monks are thinking about studying magic and practicing magic. However, it was beyond Yi Yan's expectations. He forgot that although practicing Buddhism emphasizes transcendence, it is inevitably affected by the world, especially at this time, everyone has linked magic with the current war.
"I have recently studied the technique of releasing and changing the mind, which can change the mind of some ordinary people to our evil soldiers. This will avoid the eyes of the defenders under the city and thus mix into the city. At that time, the inside and outside can be combined, and this city can be broken."
Hong Xiuquan didn't say anything, and Yang Xiuqing had not answered yet. Luo Dagang said furiously: "Since you have this method, why don't you say it earlier, but let me pretend that Xiang Rong's defeated army was met Xiang Rong who was guarding the city."
The monk sneered and said, "I didn't let you go."
It was Yang Xiuqing who made the plan to deceive the city, and then Luo Dagang said he was going to.
After hearing the monk's words, Yang Xiuqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Since the Taoist priest has such a wonderful method, we still need to trouble the Taoist priest to go to Guilin City. If Guilin City is broken, we will definitely remember the first merit for the Taoist priest."
The monk was named Master Xiuyuan. Yi Yan saw his slightly stunned expression and knew that he had never thought of going in to be an insider. Sure enough, Master Xiuyuan said, "I am very good at venting and changing the mind, but I am not good at melee combat..."
"The Taoist priest needs to be afraid? Even if it is not possible, the Taoist priest can escape by himself. Could it be that the Taoist priest is not even sure of escaping?" Yang Xiuqing said.
At this time, the monks in the tent looked at it silently and did not speak. Master Xiuyuan found that he was not sure about what he said.
"I have a talisman of Taiqing Hua, which can transform a wisp of clear air and escape, and can be lent to Taoist Xiuyuan for use."
The person who spoke was Wang Zhihe, who didn't know the origin, but his talisman technique was extremely skilled, and he seemed to be proficient in the talisman technique of each sect.
In this way, more than 400 ordinary people nearby were captured and their intentions and aura were converted to Taoist Master Xiuyuan's evil soldiers. Those ordinary people were not in danger of their lives, but they became weak one by one.
Then, Taoist Master Xiuyuan took his evil soldiers in. After only half a day, Taoist Master Xiuyuan escaped in a panic. His eyes were full of anger, but there was nowhere to be heard. Hong Xiuquan asked him why he escaped. He said that someone in Guilin City had made a plan and engraved a spell on the ground at the gate of the city. This spell burned like flames, burning the spirit of the ordinary people on the body of the evil soldiers brought by Taoist Master Xiuyuan, and then it was soon discovered by the guards on the city.
Then, naturally, the one in front was already dead, and the people behind didn't know that, so they continued to go in and one person died. If Master Xiuyuan had not escaped with the "Taiqinghua Talisman", he would have been afraid that even he would have died inside.
In this big tent, there is a man who specializes in recording the things in the tent. He recorded all the techniques used by monks to attack and defend the city.
In this account, including those who record, no one thought that they were writing history, not any history recorded in previous historical books. They were changing the way of human wars. From this time on, human siege and defending cities were no longer what historical books recorded, but added magic. At this moment, the magic no longer overrides sentient beings, but is entangled with sentient beings.
Spells change the way of war on earth at this time. If the spells are not extinct, they will change the life of human beings, as long as the spells penetrate deep into the human world.
