When the large army rushed to the east and stood on the city tower to watch, there seemed to be not many soldiers and horses in Dongling, but the formation was very strange. Xiaozhu frowned and turned back to General Sima and said: "They have already set up the Bagua formation."
"The correct name of the Bagua array is the Nine Palaces Bagua array. Nine is the pole of the number, and the number derived from the six lines of three and three is taken. Yi You said: One life is two, two is three, and three is all things. There is also the so-called Tai Chi, two Yi, and two Yi.
The four phases, the four phases generate the eight trigrams, and the eight trigrams turn into sixty-four lines. From then on, the changes are endless. I only have a superficial understanding of this. It is a pity that the master was killed, otherwise no matter how exquisite the formation is, it will not be able to stop him." Sima.
The general looked solemn.
Sima Xiangnan came over and said: "I think no matter what the formation is, it is a matter of virtuality and reality. When we attack, if the opponent consciously leaves a vacuum at certain positions on the front, it will lure us to concentrate on these routes.
Then we will be trapped in the formation, so we only need to attack their main force with the army, and we must not covet their weak points."
Xiaozhu nodded: "That makes sense. If you go all out tonight, it will be another bloody battle!"
Wuyou suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Who do you think that is?"
Xiaozhu took a closer look and recognized Tong Fuan. "Why is this slave dog on their side?"
"Prince Jing must have sent him to join forces with Dongling." Xiang Nan said.
"The only one who can deal with him is the princess, but it's a pity that the princess is not here." Xiaozhu looked worried. No one here could compete with Tong Fu'an for the time being. In tonight's battle, she really lost confidence.
But she couldn't show it, knowing that morale was more important than anything else at the moment.
The war drums sounded, and Dongling's vanguard troops, led by Tong Fu'an, had already rushed over. They still directed the archers to block the south. But Tong Fu'an waved his sleeves and arrows fell to the ground. Dongling's soldiers took the opportunity to set up ladders and headed towards the tower.
Come on.
"General Sima, I believe that our army should not easily leave the city for a decisive battle, and try to use defense as offense." Jiang Feng knew the disparity in power between the opponent and his own, so he said to General Sima.
"General I know, Jiang Feng, please quickly bring a team of troops to carry the stones to the tower." General Sima nodded.
"Yes!" Jiang Feng took the order and went downstairs.
The archers continued to fire arrows, but it was no longer possible to stop the Dongling soldiers' attack. Seeing that some of the soldiers had rushed to the tower, Xiaozhu led everyone to kill with swords, killing one group after another, and barely resisted.
"Hahaha——" Tong Fu'an flew to the top of the city tower with a strange smile like a bat. Xiaozhu and the others had to work together to deal with him. Jiang Feng's stones were transported up the city tower one after another. General Sima ordered the soldiers to use stones to push the things that climbed up.
The soldiers smashed it down.
The screams continued, and Tong Fu'an had no choice but to jump off the tower. Using his magic power of ice and fire, he fired a huge fireball and smashed the falling stones from the tower into pieces.
"The old thief's inner strength is really terrifying!" Xiaozhu gasped.
Everyone did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and threw a large number of stones from the tower to prevent the Dongling soldiers from approaching.
The stalemate lasted for nearly an hour. Xiling arranged for most of the soldiers to carry the stones. There was a stone mountain behind the military camp with inexhaustible stones.
On the other side of Dongling, Mingbei was riding on a horse, frowning at the fighting here, and was speechless. He seemed to have never smiled since his father was killed by Wuyou. At this moment, he was looking at the familiar figure on the tower.
There is no sign of love or hate in the figure's eyes.
"General, we can't attack the city." A soldier came to report.
"Then withdraw the troops." Akibei said calmly.
"Withdraw troops?" Taoist Xuantian next to Mingbei was surprised. He had finally waited for such an opportunity to express himself, and he was also waiting to make meritorious service in this war so that he could go to the emperor to claim credit and receive rewards. Who knew Mingbei
But he easily said to withdraw his troops.
"Yes, withdraw the troops, master. Are we going to use the flesh and blood of the soldiers to become the chess pieces of the traitor in Xiling?" Mingbei sneered.
Taoist priest Xuantian frowned and said: "But, Bei'er, don't you want to avenge your father? Don't you want to avenge the emperor's shame? Also, we rebelled against that castrated dog. If he doesn't give the emperor the antidote, the emperor will blame you.
.”
Mingbei frowned deeply and said: "We have tried our best today, and I don't want to see any more meaningless casualties of our army."
"How could it be meaningless? Didn't King Jing of Xiling say that he would ally with us, and after he ascended the throne, he would form diplomatic relations with us in Dongling and never invade us?" Xuan Tian said.
Mingbei sneered: "Master, do you believe this? If the traitor succeeds, I am afraid that we, Dongling, will be the first to be destroyed. If they had not threatened us with the antidote today, the emperor would not have sent troops."
In fact, Xuan Tian knew very well in his heart that he was just eager to perform meritorious service. Now that he could not convince Ming Bei, he had to give up. He retreated calmly and allowed Ming Bei to issue orders to withdraw his troops.
When Tong Fu'an saw that Dongling had withdrawn his troops, he couldn't help being furious. He circled and flew in front of Mingbei's horse, blocking his way.
"How could General Akibe retreat so easily?"
Mingbei said calmly: "As you can see, we can't reach the tower at all."
"Hold on a little longer!" Tong Fuan clasped his fists.
"No need, persisting will cost the lives of the soldiers in vain." Akibe said.
"General Ming, if you insist on having your own way, don't blame our family for cutting off your emperor's antidote." Tong Fu'an showed his fierce look.
Mingbei turned his eyes towards him coldly, his eyes filled with anger.
"General Ming, please think twice!" Tong Fu'an reached out and grabbed Ming Bei's horse rein.
Mingbei drew out his sword and pointed it at his face, growling: "Let go!"
"General, don't act out of emotion. For the sake of the emperor, let's continue to attack the city." Taoist priest Xuantian came over to smooth things over.
Akibei gasped and finally held out a few words from his mouth: "Continue to attack the city!"
Tong Fu'an smiled sinisterly and let go of his hand, tiptoeing a little, and a black shadow came under the tower again.
"This general will one day cut this thief into pieces!" Mingbei gritted his teeth.
On top of the city tower, Xiaozhu and the others were slightly relieved when they saw that Dongling had withdrawn its troops. Unexpectedly, Tong Fuan came back. Just as she shouted "Everyone, be careful", Wuyou, who was standing at the edge of the city tower, was struck by Tong Fuan.
Taken prisoner.
"Wuyou!" Xiaozhu shouted, and was about to chase Tong Fuan, but was stopped by Jiang Feng. "Xiaozhu! Don't be impulsive! Even if you catch up, you can't beat that thief!"
"Then what should we do? Should we let him arrest Wuyou?" Xiaozhu dodged and tried to run past Jiang Feng.
"The soldiers of Dongling are attacking the city again! Head south, continue to command the archers! Xiaozhu! Guard the tower!" General Sima ordered urgently. No matter how anxious Xiaozhu was, she did not dare to disobey the military order. She had to continue to stand on the tower to command.
Fighting, watching helplessly Wuyou was sent to Mingbei's hands by Tong Fu'an.
