It seemed like a more intense explosion was brewing.
Under the lake, undercurrents surge.
War, food shortages, open and covert struggles between big households and outsiders...
The whole Pingcheng is like a powder keg.
Nothing happens if you leave it alone.
It might explode at a moment's notice.
A few days later, the Wanping Army attacked the city again.
The Pingcheng Prefecture Army could no longer remember which round of siege this was by the Wanping Army.
Still the same.
But this time, Wan Ping Jun Yao's casting range is wider.
【Ominous Elephant Ghost Curse】
Covered the entire battlefield.
Dozens of ferocious beasts turned into black smoke appeared on the battlefield, roaring towards Pingcheng.
After this first experience, the sergeants were no longer nervous when they saw this method again.
Although the ferocious beasts turned into black smoke look fierce, most of them have little spirituality.
And all have time limits.
Destroy some city walls and shoot a few unlucky ones to death, and they will disappear.
........
"It is indeed the Tao of [Ghost Sect]!"
"The Wanping Sect has recruited many good players."
The tower of the government army overlooks the battlefield.
Beside the city lord Wei Tao.
Several Taoist priests came with long swords on their backs.
An old Taoist priest with immortal wind and crane bones, a handsome young male Taoist priest, and a young female Taoist priest wearing a yellow Taoist robe with red lips and white teeth.
"Senior brother, [Ghost Sect] has appeared in this world, and it is of great importance."
"According to what the leader said, he should be summoned and returned to Tibet."
The expression of the male Taoist priest was rather solemn.
He tapped his eyes twice with his fingers like flying lightning, and immediately two faint golden lights shot out of his eyes.
The golden light passed through a distance of several miles and swept across the entire battlefield.
"Junior brother, have you found anything?"
The old Taoist priest looked more dignified and had been in a high position for a long time.
He stood upright, like a spear.
Wei Tao remained silent.
Waiting for the guidance of three Taoist masters.
Tea Kung Fu.
Young male Taoist priest closed his eyes.
Faint golden light dissipated in the air.
He closed his eyes and said.
"There is a magic circle in the rebel army. It should be the "spirit gathering" magic circle."
"Such a large-scale [Ominous Elephant Ghost Curse] consumes a lot of mana, and the engraved magic circle will be more complicated."
"I can't see clearly how many monks are participating, but the people in the main formation must be masters at the alchemy stage."
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he was silent for a while.
Immediately he looked at Wei Tao.
Wei Tao naturally knows what it means to be a master in the Dan Formation stage.
So his face doesn't look very good.
He cupped his hands and said: "Senior Zhou Hong, look..."
"Wei Tao, fighting in the alchemy period is no small matter."
"He has a formation to help him, so we are not sure of victory."
"But don't worry, I will help you break this [Ominous Elephant and Ghost Curse] today!"
Zhou Hong is the old Taoist priest.
He finished speaking calmly and seemed confident.
Wei Tao was overjoyed.
As long as he can break the current Taoist method, he is not in a hurry about the following matters.
After Zhou Hong finished speaking, the young male Taoist priest stepped aside.
The female Taoist priest in the zodiac robe drew the sword from her back.
This is a magic sword.
The sword is three feet long.
It is engraved with many inscriptions such as dragons, tigers and beasts.
The female Taoist priest handed the sword to Zhou Hong, who was holding the magic sword in his left hand.
Put the index and middle fingers of your right hand together, close your eyes and pray, and recite some words in your mouth.
A strange wind blew on the tower.
Blowing up everyone's robes.
On the lifted three-foot green peak, a flash of lightning seemed to flash.
An invisible pressure spread from Zhou Hong.
Even Wei Tao couldn't help but take two steps back.
Sudden.
Zhou Hong opened his eyes.
At that moment, the long sword in his hand turned into a purple thunder light and shot straight into the sky.
Boom!
There was a sound of thunder.
It resounded throughout the entire Pingcheng battlefield.
........
........
"It's thundering?"
On the city wall.
Cao Su wiped the blood on the long knife.
At his feet was the fifth Qi-blood warrior who fell under his sword today.
Why did it thunder suddenly?
Before the war started, he remembered looking at the sky. Although the clouds were thick, it didn't look like it was going to rain.
Otherwise, the Wanping Army would not choose to attack the city today.
The movements of the sergeants on both sides slowed down.
If it's going to rain, is it necessary to continue today's battle?
"Roar!"
The roaring black smoke beast charged again, hitting the city wall tirelessly.
The newly repaired city wall was cracked again.
Countless gaps are like scars on a city wall.
"Crack!"
Thunder flashed again in the clouds.
Cao Su looked up again, and this time he saw clearly.
There seemed to be something rolling in the thick clouds above our heads.
Can lightning also roll over?
Cao Su narrowed his eyes.
At this time, the thick clouds above the battlefield were pushed aside.
A purple-black stream of light suddenly appeared.
Like continuous lightning, it rushed straight from the clouds to the battlefield.
"disease!"
There was a loud shout from the tower.
At that moment, the purple thunder light bloomed with thousands of rays of light.
Countless small thunderbolts split apart.
It struck the beast shrouded in black smoke on the battlefield.
These ferocious beasts let out pitiful screams.
In the purple-black thunder light, it was much lighter.
When the wind blows, it can't even maintain its shape and may dissipate at any time.
Not all black smoke beasts were seriously injured or disappeared.
Some were left on the field.
However, these ferocious beasts are of little use on the battlefield.
All the Pingcheng Prefecture troops were in high spirits.
It turns out that thunder and lightning are here to help us!
"People from the Dao Palace?"
Cao Su was also secretly surprised. They had been fighting the black smoke beast for a long time without any good solution. Once the professional people came, the effect of dispersing it was immediate.
He knew that Wei Tao went to the imperial court for help.
Therefore, the Dao Palace will definitely send experts to help.
Today's scene must have been caused by a Taoist master, he is indeed quite capable.
Compared with the government army, the morale has greatly increased.
The morale of the Wanping Army dropped instantly.
The soldiers did not expect that the ferocious beasts rampaging on the battlefield could be so weak.
Although the purple thunder and lightning was small, it was extremely restrained by the ferocious beast formed in the black smoke.
In the blink of an eye, the roars on the battlefield became much quieter.
The purple thunder and lightning and the ferocious beast are gone.
Wan Pingjun couldn't hear the sound of ringing gold and continued to rush forward.
And Cao Su also faced off against the sixth Qi-blood warrior he encountered today.
.........
"Who is it? Who broke my spell?"
The main camp of the Wanping Army.
A Taoist priest in black.
He ran out of the spirit gathering array angrily.
"Senior brother, this is the [Purple Thunder Sword] from Dao Palace Zhou Hong."
The white-faced and long-bearded military advisor of the Wanping Army showed a wry smile outside the military tent.
"I didn't expect the Dao Palace to come so quickly."
"Zhou Hong is also a monk in the elixir formation stage. With him guarding Pingcheng, Pingcheng is impregnable."
As soon as the Purple Thunder Sword came out, the Wanping Sect knew that Zhou Hong was coming.
Zhou Hong is also a well-known expert.
It's not surprising that he used Taoism to break the evil elephant and ghost curse.
What's surprising is that the Dao Palace arrived so quickly.
"Hmph! Zhou Hong!"
The black-clothed Taoist recited several times, filled with anger: "What a Purple Thunder Sword!"
"Senior brother, with the Purple Thunder Sword out, the Imperial Tiger Army should not be far away."
"I intend to let go of Pingcheng, leaving only a partial force to feign attack here, while the rest of the troops will join Jiangning Mansion."
"The location of Jiangning Prefecture's Four Battles can be taken from Lingzhou to the north and Lushan to the west."
"Before the imperial army arrives, Jiangning Mansion must be captured first, otherwise it will be difficult to gain depth."
The Taoist military advisor sighed: "I didn't expect that Pingcheng would delay the army for more than a month. If Pingcheng hadn't been so difficult to conquer, we should have been at Jiangning Prefecture by now."
"Maybe Jiangning Mansion has taken it all."
.........
Mid-war painting style.
It seems to be different.
Cao Su met Daofa.
in the fighting power of this world.
Not only are there people who practice martial arts, but there are also talents in various industries such as cultivating Taoism, refining demons, chanting sutras and reading.
Of course, there are still the most people practicing martial arts.
Because the threshold for employment is relatively low.
It is a truth in the world that things are rare and valuable.
Therefore, vulgar warriors are the least valuable.
Even compared to the same level, Wu Fu is always at the lower end of the contempt chain.
But no matter how mysterious the Taoism is.
For ordinary sergeants, it doesn't have much to do with it.
It's so fancy that I can't even understand it.
only know.
The Wanping Army's siege seemed to be much less powerful.
Finally in the evening, the government army heard the sound of ringing gold coming from the Wanping Army camp.
The city defense battle that lasted for several hours finally came to an end.
This time the Wanping Army's siege was more intense than the last time.
Almost all the front troops were destroyed.
The entire city wall was dyed black and red with blood.
The government troops all thought that the Wanping Army would rest for two days as before.
Unexpectedly, the Wanping Army seemed to be crazy, attacking the city in large numbers every day.
The attack lasted for seven or eight days.
Not only the government army, but also the newly reinforced "Lingzhou government army" suffered heavy losses.
The friendly troops in Lingzhou led by Zhang Yin complained endlessly.
They didn't get much money and food, but they got the title of a Pingcheng friendly army. So many brothers died, and the state of the Lingzhou army became very strange.
Wan Ping's army suffered even more casualties.
It is conservatively estimated that nearly ten thousand people died in these seven or eight days.
You have to know how many people there are in the entire Wanping Army.
After going back and forth, it would be good if the entire army now has 30,000 people.
When both sides are close to their limits.
The Wanping Army put up the no-war card and took the lead in giving up and continuing to attack the city.
Everyone in Pingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Then continue to wait for the next wave of offensive from Wanping Army.
I didn’t expect that the wait would be another month.
The Wanping Army camp kept beating drums all day long, but there was no sign of the siege.
