"Lord, there should be a great formation master in Longguan City. This person is constantly improving the city defense formation." General Yin Zhu stepped forward and said.
Master Qing's face was gloomy. Of course he also guessed that there must be a great formation master in the city who was constantly repairing the formation.
Grand Formation Masters rarely work for C-class martial clans, at least they work for B-class forces. Zheng Clan actually has a Grand Formation Master, which is not shown in the intelligence.
If this is true, then it is simply impossible to capture Longguan City in one day.
Jiang Yao kept thinking, and even had no intention of watching the magnificent and magical siege drama.
At this time, there was only one thought in his mind: fiefdom.
For the sake of the fiefdom, he can be "loyal to the Qing clan" and "dedicate himself to everything"!
After another half hour of siege, the city defense array remained motionless. However, the Qing Army soldiers' true energy and spiritual consciousness were consumed a lot.
The first round of massive siege battles had no choice but to end.
The Qing Army suffered hundreds of casualties.
Most of them died after being bombarded by the defenders' divine crossbows.
The casualties of the defenders in the city are unknown, but they will never exceed those of the Qing Army.
"Military meeting, suspend the siege." Lord Qing gave the order with some helplessness.
Inside the Qingzhu shogunate, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Many people looked at Jiang Yao, and their meaning became a little unclear.
This Jiang Zhongda was eager to achieve success and proposed the strategy of losing the north and making up for the south. Originally, this strategy was very good, but once it was implemented, it became a situation that was difficult to defeat.
If you cannot break the city within a day or two, you will have no choice but to retreat.
The strategy of encircling three people and attacking one seems to make sense at first, but once it is used, it is still useless.
However, no one blamed Jiang Yao because no one knew that there was a great formation master in charge of the city.
Even B-level martial clans rarely have grand formation masters, let alone C-level ones.
It's normal to not think of it.
Qingzhu asked the generals for advice, and they all expressed their opinions, but they could not find a way to break the city as quickly as possible. Even if they attacked hard, regardless of casualties, it would be difficult to get down the city quickly.
Jiang Yao recalled "The Art of War of Taimu" written by Yu Clan in his mind, and thought hard about strategies to break the city.
The formation-breaking divine crossbows of strong feudal lords are the same as those of low-level martial lords. They have the same power but different numbers. The main battle armor is also similar.
The advantages of a strong vassal army are mainly the size of the army, the number of experts, and the tactics of military formations.
"The Art of War of Taimu" is a special art of war for the super powerful vassal and Yu clan. It is of extremely high level. The spy Xue Xian made a copy of it through some unknown means. After Xue Xian was killed by him, it fell into his hands.
Yu Kuan could not prevent Jiang Yao from obtaining "Taimu's Art of War", so he had no choice but to guide him to understand "Taimu's Art of War" in exchange for his promise to keep it secret.
With the help of Yu Kuang, Jiang Yao's research on "Taimu's Art of War" has gained momentum. This also benefited from his understanding of ancient Chinese military formations.
Jiang Yao thought about it for a while, and after repeatedly deducing it in his mind, he felt that there were no loopholes, and then he became confident again.
"Lord." Jiang Yao, wearing a feather fan and silk scarf, had a humble smile and a calm demeanor, "Zheng Jun's native chickens and dogs are nothing to be afraid of. The only people he relies on are the ears of the Grand Formation Master."
Jiang Yaoyu pointed his finger towards Longguan City and said, "Once the great formation is broken, why worry about it? When I was in the Eastern Region, I listened to my master and the leader of the powerful vassal discussing war and deducing the art of war, and I occasionally gained some insights."
"Oh?" Qingzhu saw that Jiang Yao looked confident, and his expression softened slightly, "Zhongda, tell me quickly."
Jiang Yao saluted with a fan and talked eloquently:
"My lord must know the Divine Cone Formation. This formation consists of masters forming the cone tip, equipped with high-level battle armor, and carrying high-level shield talismans...the secondary masters are the cone waist...the army is the cone tail..."
"Zuiwei used the Tiangang formation to organize seventy-two battle teams, Zuiwao used the Earth Demon formation to organize thirty-six battle teams, Zuojian used eleven masters to form the Seven Stars Formation and the Four Elephant Formation...condensing the military domain into the air armor to protect the army..."
"The so-called wood breaks the earth. Then use a hundred wood repairmen to condense and break the formation area with their skills as the center of the formation..."
"...Use the Divine Cone Formation to attack everywhere, change directions, and search for the formation nodes of the city-protecting formation. Once you find the formation nodes, bite them and attack continuously, and the formation will intensify and collapse, and the Grand Formation Master will not be able to repair it.
.”
"In this way, the Longguan City formation will be broken within half a day!"
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he explained the Divine Cone Formation clearly, and everyone was suddenly enlightened and cheerful.
Of course they also studied military formations, but how could the art of war they learned be compared with "Taimu Art of War"?
The military formations of powerful feudal lords were complex and sophisticated, and were by no means comparable to those of low-level martial lords.
As for the Divine Cone Formation, although they had heard about it, the details of the formation were unknown.
Today, I actually learned the specific operation method from Jiang Yao.
Although Jiang Yao promised Yu Kan not to leak "Tai Mu's Art of War", he thought he was not breaking his promise by using one of the military formations.
"Taimu Art of War" has many various advanced military formations, and his knowledge is very limited. This divine cone formation is relatively easy to master, and it is not the core secret of "Taimu Art of War".
"Kezhi, what do you think of Zhongda's formation?" Lord Qing looked at the first general, Yin Zhu. Yin Zhu was the person who knew the most about military formations in the Qing army.
"My Lord, this Divine Cone Formation should be like this. I think it is a good idea to use this to break the city defense formation." Yin Zhu made a positive evaluation.
Although he did not have the opportunity to study "Taimu Art of War", he still had insight.
"That's very good." Qingzhu nodded calmly, "Then follow the divine cone formation, train for half a day, and attack Longguan City after half a day."
He looked at Jiang Yao again, "If we can defeat the city in one day, Zhongda should be the first to succeed."
Jiang Yao quickly stood up and bowed in salute, "How can I dare to claim credit for my virtue? My lord is blessed with good luck, blessed by heaven, wise and wise, and will surely be able to unify the nine counties of Qiunan. I just happened to meet you, so I am lucky."
Attached is the phoenix tail, just a small talk."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
Although this Jiang Zhongda is a young talent, his words are really disgusting.
But judging from the Lord's expression, he didn't seem to be disgusted.
Even the eldest son, Qingge, thought Jiang Yao was a flatterer.
That's fine. Such people are eager for fame and wealth, are quite talented, are more useful, and are more obedient.
Qingzhu felt a little relieved.
Although he is not a mediocre person, there is no superior person who really doesn't like to hear good words.
Even though he knew that Jiang Yao was just trying to please him, he still liked Jiang Yao more.
…
Half a day later, the Qing Army, which had trained the divine quasi formation, launched another attack on Longguan City.
Eleven Wuzong-level masters, each wearing level 4 armor and carrying a large number of shield talismans, formed a seven-star array and a four-elephant array. As the tip of the cone, they took the lead in launching the attack.
At the same time, the Qing Army's hundreds of miles of military territory also expanded rapidly...
When Se Yin, the great formation mage in the city, saw the Qing Army's new attacking formation, his expression turned extremely ugly.
Divine Cone Formation!
As a first-class grand formation master, how could she not know about the Divine Cone Formation?
This is a military strategy that only a few powerful feudal lords know.
How can there be someone who is familiar with the Divine Cone Formation among a mere C-level martial arts clan?
The Divine Cone Formation used by the Qing Army is relatively unfamiliar and should have been learned recently. Let's see if it is the real Divine Cone Formation. If it is true, then this city...can no longer be defended!
"Boom!"
A sudden violent vibration came from the main city defense formation, and ripples appeared in the space like water ripples.
Seyin's heart sank. How could she still not know that the divine cone formation used by the Qing Army was real and not just an illusion?
Although the formation method is still very unfamiliar, because the opponent has strong troops, it is enough to break through the city defense formation.
"Boom!"
"Kaka!"
After another violent attack, a clicking sound came from the space, and the expressions of Zheng Jun who was guarding the city changed.
How about the city defense formation?
"Master..." A young man looked at Seyin timidly, "Disciple senses that the city defense formation will collapse in about five quarters to an hour."
"Can our repair speed keep up with the collapse?" Seyin asked his disciples.
The young man lowered his head in fear, "Disciple, I dare not say anything."
"Say it quickly!" At this time, Grand Formation Master Seyin showed no trace of the common demeanor and spoke harshly to his apprentice.
The young man shrank back, "Master's formation level is not enough, my apprentice's cultivation level is too low, and there are too few formation masters, I'm afraid it won't work..."
He was really afraid of his master. Not only did his master dig out the formations he had realized every day, pretending to be a first-class formation master, but he also forced himself to accompany her at night.
Master is really terrible.
"Pa!" A slap mark suddenly appeared on the young man's face.
"Trash!" Seyin slapped the young man angrily. As a rare array spirit body, he couldn't do anything. Damn it.
The young man covered his red and swollen face, tears welling up in his eyes, looking pitiful.
Seyin quickly brought out a bunch of formation flags. While she was repairing the formation, she looked at the young man and cursed: "Obviously he is a man, but he behaves like a girl and looks at useless things!"
The young man shed two lines of clear tears, but still pointed to the sky and choked with sobs and said: "Master...Father, it's useless..."
"Damn it..." Seyin could only grab his apprentice and leave in a flash.
The Zheng army guard not far away suddenly noticed it.
"Master Seyin, you can't leave. If you leave, Longguan City will be doomed!" General Zheng Jun blocked Seyin's way.
Seyin snorted coldly, "It's useless. I have tried my best. The city defense formation will be broken soon. I can't help you if I stay. I don't want your lord's reward either."
"I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise what will happen to you when the Qing Army breaks the city? Huh?!"
What? Is the city defense formation hopeless?
Zheng Jun's general was so distracted that he did not stop Se Yin from leaving.
What's the use of keeping her by force?
She has said that there is nothing she can do.
"Send the order! My lord will send back the reinforcements soon. They will be here immediately! We must defend Longguan City to the death!"
"Longguan City is the main city of our Zheng Clan and the location of your palace. It is very important and must not be missed!"
"Send the order! Order the casual cultivators in the city to help defend the city and fight! When the lord comes back, there will be rewards!"
General Zheng Jun roared and ordered continuously.
He only has a few thousand soldiers and horses. If the city defense formation collapses, he has no confidence in holding Longguan City. He can only hold on and delay as much as possible until the lord returns for reinforcements.
Outside Longguan City, Lord Qing sensed the crumbling city defense formation, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Today, it is necessary to break through Longguan City. Let this city become the first step for our Qing clan's hegemony.
"Send an order and send a message to the city to ask the defenders to surrender. As long as they surrender, they can still get paid. If they don't surrender, they will be killed without mercy."
"promise!"
But soon, a reply came from the city, no surrender!
Boom boom!
The Qing Army's offensive became fierce again.
Half an hour later, there was only a clicking sound, followed by a crash like a landslide.
The solid city defense formation finally collapsed under the continuous fierce attack of the Divine Cone Formation. If Seyin was a true grand formation master, it could actually hold on for most of the day, but Seyin was only a half-step grand formation master and relied on the strength of her disciples.
Only those with talent in the formation path can pretend to be a great formation master.
The city defense formations collapsed one after another. The scene in the city suddenly appeared in Qing Jun's consciousness without any concealment.
boom!
The Qing Army's military domain stretched out like dark clouds, shrouding the sky above Longguan City in the blink of an eye.
The weak defenders were immediately and completely suppressed.
"kill!"
Thousands of Qing soldiers rushed to the city wall with weapons in hand.
The brutal martial arts fight finally began.
Under the suppression of the Qing Army's military domain, the defenders' resistance was extremely difficult.
Bits of blood mist exploded, and the murderous intent shot straight into the sky. The souls whose bodies were destroyed rushed out of their bodies one by one, and were killed again.
The true magic power blasted out by the weapon magic weapon formed a shock wave, and the place it passed was like a storm.
Every moment, a large number of defenders who were slow to move under the military domain fell.
The casualty ratio between the two sides was very different.
"boom!"
The garrison's already weak military domain completely collapsed.
The complete collapse of the defenders' military domain meant that the defenders were completely reduced to a situation of being massacred. They no longer had the ability to resist. Under the enemy's powerful military domain, it was difficult for them to move even if they wanted to.
Even escaping was extremely difficult.
The only ones who could escape with luck at this time were masters at the Wuzong level.
"It's surrendered! It's surrendered! We're waiting for Jiang Qing!" The remaining people threw down their weapons and magic weapons, took off their helmets, and knelt down.
With the desperate surrender of the remaining defenders, the Qing Army finally captured the main city of Zheng Clan.
The Qing Lord squinted his eyes as he watched the Qing Lord's battle flag flying over the huge city, and a smile appeared on his indifferent expression.
"Jiang Zhongda should take the lead." Master Qing said to everyone in a tone that left no room for doubt, "Enter the city!"
