Di Fan chopped off three more guards with his sword, took a step back to catch his breath, and glanced at other battlefields...
Although Xiaolongnu, Yue Suo, and Guo Jing were strong, they were all held back by the fearless fighting methods of the imperial guards... In the distance, the Wulin Army who had just rushed up were all entangled by the heavy guards wielding heavy weapons and wearing heavy armor, and they had no time to free up their hands to open a gap!
It’s not that the Wulin Army’s tactics were wrong, but the Heavy Guard Battalion used a large number of heavy weapons. During the siege, the attacks were all piecemeal, and they were unable to take advantage of their lightness skills for close combat!
In addition, the defensive space they opened was limited, so they had to use their internal energy to block and counterattack...
But internal strength is ultimately limited, and the enemy's numbers are nearly ten to their own. How can they not face such a constant onslaught? How can they free up their hands to open up a larger battle area?
If it drags on any longer, once the Wulin Army's internal strength is exhausted, he can imagine the consequences of this attack on Lin'an!
Either they retreat, or the Wulin Army suffers heavy casualties and cannot break through Lin'an at all!
For a moment, the entire Wulin Army was really held back by Jia Sidao's chaotic punching moves?!
Di Fan gritted his teeth and rushed towards Xiaolongnu. His internal energy poured into the sword frantically, and he used the artistic conception of the heavy sword. It was like the collapse of Mount Huashan, and in an instant he chopped down dozens of guards who surrounded him!
"Alliance leader, change the formation and blow the horn!"
Taking advantage of the temporary gap, Di Fan roared at Xiaolongnu!
[Why the hell aren't you blowing the horn yet? I can't even chop a few swords! If this drags on, the Wulin Alliance's limited strength will be wasted here!]
Sensing her senior brother's thoughts, Xiaolongnu also looked around... the situation was not optimistic!
She tapped the ground with her jade feet, and her body soared into the air. She waved her hands repeatedly, and countless white rainbow palms flew out, pushing back more than 5,000 guards surrounding the Wulin Army! Although the palm power was dispersed and failed to kill them, it knocked them back four or five steps, giving the Wulin Army some space to move!
"Change formation, Xuanwu!"
A cold voice echoed throughout the arena! The Wulin Army's formation suddenly changed. Originally forming a single row of attacking troops, it instantly contracted, giving up some space. The positions also changed to a front-and-back formation, with the shield bearers on the outside and the sword bearers to the sides.
"roar!"
The military formation took shape, and a massive black tortoise appeared above them! A black light flickered on the shields of each shield bearer, as if adding a special defensive effect! Meanwhile, a serpent's head flickered faintly on the blades of the sword bearers, and a silver light flashed across the blades, as if adding a sharp effect!
This formation was Huang Yaoshi's second innate formation, the Black Tortoise Formation, which he had learned from the Three Thousand Yue Armor Formation of the pre-Qin period. Using the methods of a military formation, he combined the internal energy of three thousand people, communicating their spiritual energy, and created a defense that achieved the effect of innate qi!
Sure enough, after the army formation changed, although the battle space was reduced, their heavy weapons could no longer cause damage to the Wulin Army and were easily blocked... and the weapons in the hands of the long sword soldiers were like giant snakes coiled on Xuanwu's body, launching attacks from time to time. Each blow could pierce heavy armor and penetrate the human body, causing nearly a thousand casualties in the heavy armor battalion in the blink of an eye!
Jia Sidao's face changed drastically, and he once again threw himself into the Long Spear Battalion! This time, there were a full 50,000 of them! They were all short men, and their only method of attack was to blend in between the heavily armored soldiers, looking for opportunities to thrust their long spears, or throw them like javelins, causing damage to the Wulin Army!
That is to say, the defensive power of the Black Tortoise Formation is amazing. Otherwise, the addition of these 50,000 people, especially the long-range attack, would definitely cause great damage to the Wulin Army!
Above the sky, Xiaolongnu looked at the battle situation. The Wulin Army had completely delayed the main force. The time had come!
Her hand went to her waist, and a horn fell into it! She put it to her lips!
"Beep, beep, beep, beep!"
The charge has sounded, and the final battle is about to begin!
................
Lin'an City Gate, sewer...
Just when Xiaolongnu led the three masters and rushed to the city wall personally, Dong Songchen could not help it and was about to blow up the sewer fence, and launch a charge on the city gate with the help of the inside and outside forces!
But before he could jump up, he was instantly pinned down by Zhong Mingliang!
"Dong Songchen! What do you want to do?!"
"Nonsense, of course we're going to support!" Dong Songchen retorted, "Didn't you see that the leader has already rushed to the city himself? If we don't go out now, when will we?"
"You stay still! Don't forget our military orders. We can only attack when the bugle call sounds!"
Zhong Mingliang held Dong Songchen down tightly, preventing him from being exposed... As a descendant of the Zong family army, he knew the key to the battle opportunity better than anyone else!
If we launch an attack now before the horn is blown, not only will we fail to achieve the greatest results, but we may also increase casualties and even miss the opportunity to break into the city!
"Are you that stubborn?"
Dong Songchen was also anxious: "No wonder your family is not favored by the Song Dynasty! The leader, that is the leader! She has already come, and you are still waiting... It is like the emperor is in danger, but you are still watching from the back. In the end, who will be punished if not your family?
Do you know why the Zhong family, despite their distinguished military achievements, has never been trusted by civil officials, or even the Emperor of the Song Dynasty? It's because you soldiers are too stubborn!
Zhong Mingliang fell silent... but his palm still held Dong Songchen tightly...
"This is the Wulin Alliance! Not the corrupt Song Dynasty! We can't move until the leader blows the horn!"
"You...I don't care about you!"
Dong Songchen was also helpless. How could Zhong Mingliang's words not make sense? What about the Wulin Alliance? No one in power would tolerate being in danger while his subordinates waited for the opportunity!
This was the law of survival he had learned as a eunuch, a favored eunuch by the emperor! It was that if the superiors pleased, the subordinates must follow...
Zhong Mingliang stared intently at the battle on the city wall, especially when he saw Xiaolongnu almost being hit several times, he almost couldn't resist the urge to attack...
"General, we can't wait any longer!"
Seeing that the Wulin Army rushed up the city wall but was also blocked and fell into crisis... Dong Songchen and even one of the four Dharma Kings under Zhong Mingliang came forward to persuade them.
But Zhong Mingliang still gritted his teeth: "Don't move! Now is not the time to move!"
"Zhong Mingliang! How long are you going to wait?"
Dong Songchen was anxious. It would be fine if you didn't save the leader of the alliance when he was in danger, but now even the Wulin Army is in a tough battle. If you don't attack now, when will you attack?
"Wait! Wait until they attract the main force, wait until we can break down the city gate as quickly as possible!"
Zhong Mingliang said fiercely!
"You...you are just stubborn!"
Dong Songchen pointed at him angrily... He was afraid that the leader wouldn't be able to support him until that time if he tried to attract the main force!
Finally, Jia Sidao deployed the last 50,000 elite troops, the Xuanwu formation appeared, and the charge sounded!
Zhong Mingliang leaped up, smashed the iron fence above his head with his palms, and rushed to the top of the city wall: "Wulin Army, attack!"
"kill!"
Three thousand Wulin soldiers swarmed out and headed straight for the city gate!
