The changes in the city wall made Feng Yuheng's scalp tingle, and Xuan Tianming also realized at this moment that he had made a serious mistake.
The city wall of Songzhou City is hollow.
Countless flaps moved from the ground, one after another. Some soldiers poked their heads out, but did not rush forward. Instead, they raised their bows and arrows and shot directly at where the two of them were.
Although Feng Yuheng had already seen that it was not a tracking arrow method, the opponent had the advantage of more people and more arrows, as well as the clever use of the city wall mechanism. The rain of arrows came in the snow and against the wind, instantly separating her and Xuan Tianming.
Both of them drew out their whips and kept waving the isolating arrows, while at the same time they tried their best to get together. Xuan Tianming even waved the cloak behind him, and the arrows were rolled up in bundles, but they still kept rushing over.
Finally, the two of them were closer, and Feng Yuheng heard Xuan Tianming shouting, "Find a way to jump down to the city." After that, he suddenly used his Qinggong skills and flew to the bottom of the city wall. He chose the direction of the city, and while flying, his body twisted and turned strangely, cleverly avoiding all the arrows shot at him.
Feng Yuheng understood that the reason why he chose to jump first was because he didn't want to hold her back, because Xuan Tianming knew that if the two of them separated, she couldn't take him into the space with her. And she absolutely wouldn't let Feng Yuheng hide in there without her. So he jumped first, and Feng Yuheng could use the space to follow.
She did exactly that. As soon as Xuan Tianming jumped up, she immediately covered her right wrist with her left hand, entered the space with a thought, and then used the spatial distance to appear again and again. Finally, shortly after Xuan Tianming landed, she also landed beside him.
As soon as the two met, they immediately clasped their hands together with such force that it seemed as if they wanted to rub the other into their palms and never let go.
Xuan Tianming led her to retreat quickly and rushed to the main street of the city so as to stay away from the shooting range of the archers on the wall.
But after running for a while, they found that the enemy did not rush out from the flap to continue chasing and shooting. In just a blink of an eye, there was silence on the city wall again.
However, the silence was only temporary. Soon, the snowy ground flaps bulged again, and countless soldiers came with swords like devils crawling out of hell, and surrounded the two of them in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the sound of drums came from nowhere, followed by the sound of horns. The army kept changing formations to the rhythm of the drums and horns, arranging in a weird way, layer upon layer, like a moving human wall.
Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming stood back to back, watching the changes vigilantly. After a while, they heard Xuan Tianming say, "It's Qian Zhou's Thousand Wall Formation."
She was puzzled, "What is the Thousand Wall Formation?"
He said: "It is a formation of at least 5,000 people, using drum beats and wolf bone horns as music to complete the formation changes."
As they were talking, the drums beat even louder. Feng Yuheng watched as a group of soldiers suddenly thrust their swords forward to the beat of the drums. Dozens of swords were pointed at her. Even though she dodged nimbly, one of them still cut a hole in her robe.
Xuan Tianming protected the man and said in a deep voice: "Be careful. If it doesn't work, go into the space."
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "No, it's too obvious. Besides, we can't stay in there forever. Do you know much about this Thousand Walls Formation? Do you know how to break it?"
While the two were talking, the enemy made another move. This time, the soldiers in the second and third rows took advantage of the half-bending momentum of the people in the front row to thrust their weapons forward. The second row stabbed, and the third row grabbed the feet of the second row, not caring whether they hit the target or not, and pulled the people back in one swipe.
The horn sounded again and the team turned again.
Feng Yuheng was annoyed: "It's giving me a headache."
"This is also one of the means of the Thousand Walls Formation." Xuan Tianming said as he looked around, "These soldiers are not scary. The most urgent task is to find the person who controls the formation. The drummer and the bugler are the key." That being said, the person who controls the formation always hides in the most secluded place. It is not easy to find him in such a snowstorm.
The formation kept changing, and attacks came one after another. Under the impact, Xuan Tianyun had to temporarily give up looking for someone to control the formation and devote himself to the battle.
Feng Yuheng knew very well that there was no way to go on like this. She was also an expert in making formations. As long as the person controlling the formation was still there, the formation would be impeccable. With thousands of soldiers facing just two of them, it would be strange if they were not exhausted to death.
She retreated to Xuan Tianming's side and used him to protect her body. Seeing this, Xuan Tianming immediately protected her and soon saw Feng Yuheng take out a strange thing from his sleeve and put it on his eyes. He didn't know what it was, but when he saw Feng Yuheng put it on and started looking around, he knew that it must be something that would be more helpful in finding the person controlling the formation.
In fact, his guess was correct. Feng Yuheng was wearing a pair of reconnaissance glasses, which not only had better penetrating power, but also had the function of a telescope, and could see scenery ten miles away. Those places that were beyond Xuan Tianming's reach, when she put on these glasses, she could not see them clearly, but at least they were vague.
Soon, a nine-story tower in the northeast direction caught her attention. It was the tallest building in Songzhou City. At this moment, every floor of the nine-story tower was full of people and surrounded by drums. The sound of drums came from there, accompanied by the wolf bone horn, and the sound was pleasant to the ears and touched people's hearts.
"Over there!" She pointed directly at the tall tower and said to Xuan Tianming, "Try to get closer. I have a way to deal with them."
Xuan Tianming knew that if Feng Yuheng said there was a way, then there must be a way. He raised his wicked lips, pulled the little girl into his arms, and said loudly: "Hold tight, your husband will take you over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yuheng felt that his feet left the ground in an instant. Surrounded by thousands of soldiers, Xuan Tianming directly used Qinggong to jump up and swung his long whip at the same time, creating a gap in the air.
However, the soldiers who formed the Thousand Walls Formation had long expected that they would choose Qinggong. As soon as the horn sounded, the Thousand Walls Formation built a human wall. Soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a human wall of the same height. Xuan Tianming's whip whipped loudly, and the human wall could not withstand such destruction, and collapsed one by one.
But no matter how hard they tried, the enemy had more people, and they kept coming up. Gradually, Xuan Tianming's whip slowed down, and the enemy's knife tip brushed the end of his hair, cutting off a small strand. But then, the long whip stretched out like a thorn, and stabbed into the left heart of the knife-wielding man.
Feng Yuheng stared straight at the tall tower and said in a deep voice: "Okay, right here, a little higher, a little higher!"
Xuan Tianming followed her instructions, constantly gathering his energy and increasing his altitude. Finally, Feng Yuheng raised his right hand and aimed at the top floor of the tower. With a "bang", a shot was fired. The bullet streaked through the air, shocking everyone who formed the Thousand Walls Formation into disarray.
The bullet hit the man beating the drum on the top of the tower accurately between the eyebrows, and the man fell straight down from the top of the tower without any warning.
Xuan Tianming was just about to shout "good" when another person walked out from the high tower and immediately filled the vacancy left by that person. The drum sounds that had been gradually becoming chaotic due to the loss of a drummer soon returned to normal.
"Play the drums, don't hit people!" Xuan Tianming saw the trick and said urgently, "The drums used in the Thousand Walls Formation are human skin drums. We don't have too many in reserve. Play the drums, play more."
After Feng Yuheng failed in her attempt to beat someone, she immediately thought of beating the drum. As soon as Xuan Tianming said this, she immediately swung her gun and started beating the several drums in her sight.
"Bang bang bang bang!" After several gunshots, the drum broke, the sound stopped, and the formation became chaotic.
Xuan Tianming used his Qinggong skills to constantly change his position. When Feng Yuheng finished firing a burst of bullets, he immediately pulled out another gun and continued shooting.
During this time, the enemy changed three rounds of drums, and finally all of them were annihilated. Only the faint sound of drums and trumpets could still be heard from the back of the tower, but it was no longer able to support the opening of the formation. The formation of thousands of people suddenly lost its control and command, and the momentum of collapse could not be stopped.
Xuan Tianming laughed loudly, holding his wife with one hand and waving the whip with the other, chasing and beating her with great pleasure!
Feng Yuheng raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Do you think this counts as kicking a fallen dog?" After saying that, he shook his head and said, "The people of Qianzhou are worse than dogs."
At this time, in the cabinet on the top floor of the nine-story tower, Duanmu Anguo was jumping up and down, pointing at a woman who was lazily sitting opposite him and yelling: "Are you blind? Don't you see that so many people died? Where are your men? Where are your drums? Why don't you ask someone to replace them?"
The woman was dressed in a bright red dress, glamorous and stunning. Facing Duanmu Anguo's anxiety and scolding, she still looked unconcerned and asked him in return: "You think you are a man without regard for your life? You think you are a drum without any money? Why should I use my people and my drum to fill the hole in your Songzhou? Duanmu Anguo, what kind of dog are you? How dare you point fingers at this king?"
This woman was none other than the infuriating Lotus King. Duanmu Anguo was furious, but she not only ignored him, she even held a fruit in her hand and took a bite from it.
Facing such a question, Duanmu Anguo rolled his eyes, feeling that he was so angry that he couldn't get it out. He told King Lian: "Don't forget, it was the King of Qianzhou who ordered you to help me guard the northern border. If Songzhou City is lost, I wonder how you will explain it to the King!"
"I'm so scared, so scared!" Princess Lian patted her chest, looking frightened, "My Lord! What a high-ranking official. Hahaha!" She suddenly laughed, so arrogant that even Duanmu Anguo took three steps back to avoid her, "Lord Qian Zhou, that kid can hardly protect himself, how can he care about you?"
"Hmm?" Duanmu Anguo was stunned. "What do you mean?" King Qian Zhou couldn't protect himself? Is this King Lian crazy?
“It’s not interesting.” King Lian pulled the corner of his mouth, sneered and stood up, “Duanmu Anguo, think about it carefully, why has the excavation of the dragon vein in Jiangzhou been suspended? Why, except for the people under my command, all other soldiers have been withdrawn to the border of Qianzhou? Think about it carefully, I want to go see an old friend!”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the tower.
