Chapter 689: City Outer Guard Battle (5)(1/2)
With a loud noise that shook the earth, thousands of artillery shells fell overwhelmingly into the ranks of monsters. Huge airflow clouds rose high in the sky, the space was torn apart, and waves of ripples swayed in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred monsters were shattered by the power of the shell explosion, and the rest rushed out of the shell explosion zone and headed towards the Xuanmen warship and chariot.
Many warships and chariots retreated with one strike. After firing a round of cannonballs, they retreated to the rear. As many monsters pursued them, the sky and the earth darkened, and red thunder and lightning drowned all the monsters.
Red thunder and lightning formed a line in several areas. Between the Xuanmen warships and chariots and the pursuing monster beasts, the vast sea of red thunder overwhelmed everything.
Seeing the Xuanmen warships going further and further away, they soon disappeared.
Xuanyang frowned, and several escaping lights shot out from all directions and stopped beside him.
The man with eagle eyes and thin lips asked: "Fellow Taoist Xuanyang, what's going on? Didn't you say that this place belongs to another dimension? How come people from Xuanmen appear here?"
"They control the formation, so of course they can come and go as they please. Is there anything strange about this?"
"Then what do we do?"
"Just wait and see what happens!"
"Fellow Daoist Xuanyang, can we follow Xuanmen's warships and chariots out of here?" Another man asked with a frown.
"If you can follow them all the time, of course you can leave, but this place is within their formation, and they can activate the formation restriction to attack us."
"You all saw just now that although they cannot mobilize any point in the restricted attack formation at will, they can launch areas within the restricted range. As long as we step into these areas, we can immediately launch the formation's thunder and fire attack.
"
"We still don't fully know how many formation areas they can activate, and every hour, when the direction changes, all restricted areas will also change."
After hearing this, several people frowned and remained silent.
Not to mention that the leading group of monster beasts was trapped in the yellow mist and could not advance or retreat.
To the west of Cangyun Island City, among the Mubei coalition forces, dozens of escaping lights were seen rising into the yellow mist and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
…
On the majestic and majestic city wall, the light of the giant cannons circulates and is displayed in rows, stretching as far as the eye can see from south to north. The deep muzzles of the cannons are aligned outside the city walls, and groups of armored monks stand on standby.
Outside the city walls, there is a yellow fog that fills the sky and wild fields. It is hazy inside, making it difficult to see the reality clearly.
Just hearing the roar of the formation, more than a thousand huge warships and chariots appeared in an array, emerging from the yellow mist in the sky in an orderly manner, crossing the city walls and heading towards the city.
In front of the city wall hall, senior officials of the Fourth Army gathered together.
The man in the lead was a thin man with a pale face and no beard. He was Duan Zhenyu, the commander of the fourth legion of the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance.
Seeing many warships and chariots approaching, he shouted: "Here comes someone."
A man with a beard and full cheeks flashed in front of him, bowed and saluted: "Master, what are your orders?"
The man said: "Go down and order the ninth column to attack. It will enter from the southeast corner of "Tianji" and leave from the northwest corner of "Yaoguang" half an hour later."
"There are less than one column of Mubei monsters inside. Tell them to fight freely, but don't be too eager to fight. Just break up their formation."
"What we have to do is delay their attack time, continue to harass them, and make them unable to live in peace."
"In addition, let the formation flag team pay more attention, pay attention to controlling the formation restrictions, and cooperate with the ninth column's attack and evacuation."
"Yes." The man with the beard and cheeks responded, leaping into the air, crossing the city walls, and heading towards the rear.
Not long after, rumbling sounds were heard in the city, and more than a thousand warships and chariots burst into light, crossing the city walls, heading into the thick yellow fog, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"I wonder when the rescue armies from other islands will arrive? Just relying on these formations can't delay it for too long." In front of the main hall, a man with gray temples frowned and said, it was Liu Zhongmou, the inspector of the Fourth Army Corps.
Duan Zhenyu said without looking back: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to worry. The latest news we just received is that Master Ren has ordered the five legions stationed on Tianyuan Island to set off. In addition, the legions stationed on Wuying Island and Xuanyu Island have already left yesterday.
Set off, rush to come, now on the road."
"Where is Qiansha Island? They are closest to us, why haven't there been any movements yet?" asked a middle-aged man with big ears, who was Zhang Xuan, deputy captain of the Fourth Army Corps.
Duan Zhenyu said: "They were also besieged by the Mubei Allied Forces, and the Third Army Corps stationed on Xuanyu Island is rushing to support them."
The officer in charge of the Fourth Army frowned and said: "So, currently only the Seventh Army stationed on Wuying Island has moved and is coming to our side to support us, and the other legions have not set off yet? Even if we can hold on until the Seventh Army supports us,
, and the Mubei Allied Army has four legions, I’m afraid their arrival will not help.”
Duan Zhenyu said: "Up to now, haven't you seen the intention of the Mubei coalition? Their total force going south was only ten legions, but this time they actually sent eight legions to besiege us and Qiansha Island, leaving only two legions.
Support from the rear."
"If it's just to seize the island, there's no need to be so grand and besiege it on all sides."
"They have surrounded the entire island like an iron barrel. They obviously want to swallow us in one bite and completely annihilate the headquarters. The only solution now is to try their best to maneuver around and wait for reinforcements."
"Since the Qi Mu Northern Alliance Army is trying to engulf the headquarters, they will definitely leave many teams to guard the area around the island. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will swarm us. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to hold on until other legions come to the rescue."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light shot out, and a burly man appeared. He bowed and saluted: "Uncle Master, dozens of monks from the Mubei Alliance Army have entered the Yuheng formation.
Once the formation is broken, the formation restrictions activated by the disciples and others are completely useless."
Duan Zhenyu nodded and said: "It seems that the high-level monsters in the Mubei coalition have dispatched. Fellow Daoist Liu and Fellow Daoist Fang, how about we go meet them?"
The two nodded and said hello.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I leave all the power here to you."
"Fellow Daoist Duan is prepared to face the enemy with peace of mind. It is expected that the Mubei demon has the power to reach the sky and will not be able to break through this formation in a short while."
The three of them jumped into the air and walked straight out of the city.
In the yellow mist that filled the sky, dozens of rays of light disappeared, and dozens of figures of men and women appeared. The first two people were Xuan Guang and Chi Song, the stewards of the third legion of the Mubei Alliance Army.
When everyone stopped, they saw a yellow mist with no end in sight. Not only was their vision blocked, but their spiritual consciousness was also greatly reduced. There seemed to be something in the air that was hindering the spiritual vision. The farther away the spiritual consciousness was, the greater the obstruction.
.
The surrounding world was completely silent, not a single sound was heard, and you could hear a pin drop.
"It's strange, why can't we see the team that entered here before? Lord Akamatsu, should we fight with them first and then work together to break the formation?" asked a man.
Chisong glanced at him: "You have been fighting Xuanmen for many years in Mubei, and you are experienced in hundreds of battles. How come you don't even know this formation, but you ask such childish words?"
The man was scolded by him, his face looked a little embarrassed, and he said: "This subordinate has never learned the way of formation flags. Although he has been fighting with Xuanmen for many years, he still knows nothing about the formations they use."
Chisong snorted coldly: "On weekdays, I ask you to read more books and records on formations and spiritual weapons of human monks, but you always think that they are useless, delay your practice, and are not worth reading."
"I would rather drink for fun and waste time in the mountains and forests than spend time studying these skills. Now I don't know anything about the enemy before the battle, and I don't know how you will die by then."
"Xuanmen has ruled the world for so many years, and it is by no means useless. You won a few small battles in Mubei, but then you become arrogant and complacent. Such people will lose their lives sooner or later."
"No wonder they." Xuan Guang said: "Don't talk about them. Even when I entered this place, I couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Our clan has never understood these side sects. No one taught them, and we don't use them. Naturally,
I don’t want to spend energy studying.”
"And these formations look exactly the same from the outside, without much change. Only you, fellow Taoist Chisong, who has mastered the formations, can see the magic inside, so let's talk about how to break this formation!"
Chisong said: "I didn't study the formation flag method from the beginning. It's just that since the battle with Xuanmen in Mubei, my headquarters suffered heavy losses from the formation method several times, so I learned this method as a supplement."
"Although I have studied this art for hundreds of years, the art of formation flags is extensive and profound. Based on my understanding of the art of formation, it is far from being a master. At most, it is just a glimpse of the way."
"You all listen up, this is the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation. You must have heard of this formation more or less. When Xuanmen was trapped in Mubei, this formation was one of their main defense formations. From now on
You may encounter this formation again, so please listen to me carefully."
"This formation is essentially a space formation. It is divided into seven domains, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. They correspond to the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, hence the name.
"
"These seven domains are all separate spaces and are not connected. Only by breaking this formation can we return to the original space."
"To know where we are now, it's very simple. Just look at the position of the seven stars when we entered the formation."
"Consider the entire formation shrouded in yellow mist as a seven-star azimuth formation. We entered from the Yuheng azimuth, so we are now in the Yuheng space array."
"Although this is a separate space, there are still seven stars distributed within it, with a total of seven formations. Therefore, the entire formation is actually composed of forty-nine seven-star formations."
"We entered here at about the last hour of the hour. Once the hour has passed, the stars will appear in the sky. This formation is connected to the Big Dipper in the world. You can use its power. By then, the power will increase exponentially. It will not end until the stars disappear at the hour Mao.
.”
"This formation will rotate in one direction every hour, and all the formations in the formation will change accordingly."
"We are currently in the Yuheng Formation. We must first crack the Yuheng Formation. The first step is to find the specific position of its seven stars, and then break through the Yuheng Formation."
"Everyone, follow my orders and take me as the center. Yuyan, you lead six people to the northwest five hundred miles. According to the ranking of the Big Dipper, each person is ten miles apart."
"Tianxing, you lead six people to the southeast five hundred miles, ranked according to the seven stars, each person is ten miles apart."
"Fengquan, you lead six people to Zhengdong and rank them according to the seven stars. Each person is ten miles apart."
Chisong mobilized everyone to the designated position one by one.
That's what everyone said, the light was rising, and while everyone was blazing, the sky and the earth went dark, and all kinds of strange phenomena such as wind, fire, thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, drowning all the teams.
Red thunder and lightning, purple flames, blue glaciers, and golden winds enveloped multiple areas, connecting thousands of miles of land into one.
All kinds of rays of light suddenly appeared inside, soaring straight into the sky. The monks in each group used their magical powers to protect themselves, and escaped through the area enveloped by wind, fire, and lightning.
Although the various visions were loud and powerful, they could not do anything to stop them. Everyone fled in the area of lightning and flint, as if they were in a deserted land.
After a while, the strange phenomena such as wind, fire, thunder and lightning stopped, and everyone in the demon clan returned to their places.
Chisong turned his hand and took out eight crystal-clear beads of different fist-sized and different colors, and threw them upwards. The eight beads swelled in the wind, kept rotating around their bodies, and slowly moved toward the outside.
