Chapter 413 Xiguan
Lizhou.
Oxhoof Village.
A red headband tied up the hair, and the man in a robe took out the magic talisman.
He burned it and dissolved it into the bottom of the bowl, blew away the paper ash floating on the bowl, and then fed the bowl of talisman water to the monk who was bandaging the wound.
There was a small fire burning in a small hut, and many people were crowded together. Most of these people were wearing robes, with red ribbons tied on their heads, and they were more or less injured.
"Be patient, this talisman will stop your bleeding."
"Master, Junior Brother Hu can't hold on any longer..."
"..."
The Dharma Master took out the clay statue of Red Sky Lord hidden in his arms, placed it on the ground, twisted the magic formula and chanted the scripture: "All spirits bless me, bless me, the Red Sky will be bright, the Lord God will come..."
While reciting the scriptures, take out a monster claw and place it in front of the statue. Under the light of the divine light, it turns into a powdery stream and combines with the incense and mana around the body.
The red-yellow light manifested into the nimbus and merged into the body of the believer who was already weak. As the red scriptures condensed into closed-loop patterns, the vitality in the body of the originally weak believer suddenly increased.
The carrier pigeon transformed into a magical talisman flew into the small village. The magician obtained the carrier pigeon and used his magic power to open it. The golden handwriting immediately came into view.
The content on it made him even more delighted. He stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Although our uprising was defeated by the imperial court, the Xuzhou army led by the Archmage will arrive soon."
"As long as we wait patiently."
Lizhou is very close to Xuzhou, and it is also a key development area of the Chitian Society. However, the uprising was suppressed by monks dispatched by the court as soon as it appeared. Many monks died in the melee.
Tens of thousands of people at the stronghold were defeated and fled in all directions.
Looking back on that day now, he still felt heart palpitations. If the monks in the imperial court were so powerful, he could only barely resist. If the Dharma Leader hadn't fought to protect them, they wouldn't have been able to escape intact.
The Talismen who were originally looking down and down all expressed their joy to each other.
"Very good!"
"Our efforts were not in vain."
"The Archmage will definitely save us."
"..."
"Lizhou, Lizhou will be in peace under the protection of Lord Chitian."
Even though they are still injured, their passion has not been extinguished, nor their yearning for peace. Their eyes are as hot as before, as if they are completing some unfinished business of their predecessors.
This is indeed a big deal.
A great deal hangs in the hands of all of them.
…
On the border of Lizhou, the important pass is called "Xishan", which is also often called Xiguan. The guard general of Xiguan is named Huang Jian. He lives up to his name, and his appearance is like a rough and solid stone, giving people a cold and hard look.
Huang Jian, who was standing on the tower, looked shocked, looking at the vast red army under the city in amazement.
At a glance, the chariots, horses and auxiliary soldiers were useless. There were tens of thousands of armored soldiers alone. It's enough to have a complete set of armors. Each piece of armor is engraved with complex spiritual patterns and talismans, which are consistent with their own aura, and the army is like one body.
This is not an army at all, but a mobile incense dojo.
It is more like an interlocking battle of skills, capable of exerting great strength at any time under the coach's skills.
The army is taking root.
Chi Xuan waved his hand and threw out the token with the pinch method.
The token turned into a tall red sky warrior under the blessing of incense.
Thirty-six Chitian warriors kicked up the dust and turned it into clods. They threw out the clods and piled them into a huge dojo altar. Chi Xuan, who was on the altar, lowered the soul flag in his hand and looked at Xiguan in a straight posture. .
Although I had already seen the Archmage Chi Xuan perform spells at the expedition ceremony, when such a large army marched against the fortified city, I was still shocked to see the Archmage take action again.
"envious?"
The monk in the red robe next to him turned his head and glanced at Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng looked back and slightly cupped his hands: "Brother Qiu."
The person who spoke to him was Fakui from Senzhou, and Qiu Su who left Senzhou with him and came to Xuzhou. When he was in Senzhou, three Dharma chiefs were selected. He became a Dharma chief thanks to Chen Zhengcai's influence, and followed Qiu Su to the main altar.
"Hey, there is no need to be so polite. We are all Dharma chiefs who came from Senzhou." Qiu Su looked a little older. This time, only the two of them came to Senzhou.
The actual branch palm print did not return to Xuzhou.
There are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with at the branch stronghold, and the powerful leader of the Dharma Lineage is also needed to be in charge, and there is no way to leave.
Zhang Cheng looked forward noncommittally. He just didn't expect that an ordinary person like him could have such a powerful power. This powerful power can be used by him to cure diseases and save people, to gratify and kill those dog officials who ruined the peace of the stronghold.
Thinking of this, the anger in Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed, and he gradually returned to his original clear gaze: "I only wish for peace and a prosperous age."
Qiu Su glanced at Zhang Cheng in astonishment and said with a smile: "That's right, Qingtian is dead, and Chitian must stand!"
"When the Lord of Heaven comes to this world, peace will come."
…
Before sunset.
Zhou Hui has already arrived at Julu County.
The Red Turban army stationed in Xuzhou was divided into three groups, all of which were the main force, and sent troops to Julu, Jugu, and Xishan Pass respectively.
Julu County is the junction of Xuzhou and Cangzhou, and also a key link between the north and the south.
As long as this pass is cleared, Cangzhou's red scarf branch army can join the main force of Xuzhou who has passed the pass, and at least half of the state will fall into Zhou Hui's hands.
"Red Sky Rikishi."
The altar has already been constructed, and Zhou Hui only needs to give an order to summon the body of the Red Sky Lord to attack the big city in front of him.
"General?"
Within the military tent, the monks with magic power held up the map of Julu County.
"The support from the imperial army will arrive within half a month. The Archmage only gives us ten days. It will take half a year to besiege such a fortified city. How can we break through the city in front of us?"
Zhou Hui, who was sitting on the main seat, was wearing red talisman armor, and his aura was already connected to the army.
He didn't look anxious at all: "I have arranged internal response. The Julu altar will be blown up in the middle of the night. The internal response will open the city gate array. At that time, everyone needs to take action to withstand the pressure."
Xu Bo frowned and said coldly: "General, this is not allowed!"
"Once the branch altar is lost, the damage caused is immeasurable. Detonating such an accumulation in the city will kill many people."
"We can directly arrange for the internal forces to open a large formation, and the Cang Dynasty will respond, or we can use troops to overwhelm the pressure."
Zhou Hui glanced at everyone's faces very calmly, and said confidently: "The believers in the sub-altern have already been evacuated for protection, and we will not let any believers sacrifice."
In the big tent, Yu Wenhong watched with eyes and nose, and had no intention of helping out. He also felt that it was safer this way. They might not be able to cope with the big formation just by opening up the inside.
Anyway, this is the decision made by the coach. He only needs to obey the order, neither to sing against the tune nor to fully support it.
However, several of the leading generals looked at Xu Bo angrily because they had followed Zhou Hui in their early years.
"Can……"
"In the middle of the night, follow my orders."
Zhou Hui glared at Xu Bo and choked the other person's words.
It is different from the difficulties here in Zhou Hui.
"This is Jugu County?" Li Asheng hugged his shoulders.
As the saying goes, if there are more than ten thousand people, there will be no boundaries.
Thirty thousand talisman soldiers may sound like a small number, but in fact they are still a mighty army. They didn't bring much rations this time, in order to win the battle quickly.
After capturing the county town, there is a stronghold in the city for rest and supplies, so there is no need to worry too much.
"Tuantu, start the formation!"
The red sky warriors quickly piled up the altar.
…
In front of Xiguan, thirty-six red sky warriors held up a nine-foot high altar.
Chi Xuan placed the soul flag in the center of the high altar.
Then he looked at the big pass in front of him.
Such a strong city lies prone on the ground like a giant black iron beast biting the mountains, swallowing up the living beings coming and going, and blocking many heroes and strong men from the east and west.
Huang Jian stood on the tower, with a tense face, staring at the nine-foot high altar built by strong men.
Not to mention the thirty-six-foot-tall Chi Tianlishi who was connected to the formation, the person standing on the high altar alone brought tremendous pressure to him.
Chong Pang loudly called out to the formation: "Huang Jian, quickly open the city and surrender. Maybe you will be spared from death. Otherwise, when the great master of my teaching takes action, you will definitely look good."
"The general will be named!"
"Chitianhui Dharma lineage leader Chongpang."
Huang Jian curled his lips in disdain. Chi Xuan called for formation in front of him. He could still be a little nervous. He sent such a weak soldier, but he was too lazy to respond. Moreover, his strength has never been to fight against others.
In such a huge city, it is even more foolish to lead troops and horses out to conquer.
Anyone could see that the army commanded by Chi Xuan was all wearing talisman armor. In a battle with such an army, there was no way they could win with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the gate.
"Chixuan."
These two words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. Looking at the high altar array in the distance, Huang Jian shouted: "Rebellious ministers and traitors dare to show off their power in front of a certain family."
"Grandpa is here, waiting for you to break the formation!"
Chi Xuan frowned, the grand formation in front of him was connected to the mountains and rivers.
Guard Huang Jian is even more of a tortoise, his aura is integrated with the army's battle formation. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack, he will probably have to pay a high price if he wants to attack the city in front of him.
"The Demon Lord may have a way to break it."
The gray shadows condensed, Tu Shanjun put down the wine bottle and said: "The formation can be broken, but it will take time and huge mana."
"how long it takes?"
"Ten days."
Chi Xuan was stunned for a moment and then said in deep thought: "Why does it take so long?"
Tu Shanjun was too lazy to roll his eyes.
Although he is a master of the Talisman Formation, facing this kind of flawless incense formation, he has no mana and no cultivation, and there is no way to break it in a short time.
If Chi Xuan draws too much mana to deal with emergencies, it will be too late to regret it.
He didn't say anything about Chixuan, but continued: "It's better to summon the divine body and demolish this barrier alive."
Tu Shanjun said it very calmly, but it made Chi Xuan's spine shiver, and a chill filled his heart.
Others are doubtful when they say this, but this person in front of me actually means what he says. As the Demon Lord said, if he summoned the divine body to bombard the formation, many people in the pass would die.
"Is there a faster and better way?"
Chi Xuan also felt that it was a bit difficult for others, and he couldn't help but feel a little more embarrassed.
If they can't break the constraints, they will be the turtle in the urn when the imperial army surrounds them.
"If you can get that person's hair, blood, or birth date, you should be able to solve it more quickly." Tu Shanjun counted with his fingers. Without those media, he could not calculate.
