Heaven's Formula

Of course, if he can defeat Jinxia in one fell swoop and completely unify Shenzhou, he can also rely on his achievements and prestige to rise to the top.But Jinxia is not a soft persimmon, once the attack is frustrated, the pressure will be transferred to Baizhan.

In the event of a big defeat, the support of Seven Stars would be useless at that time.

"Could it be that Tianxia Chess Bureau is telling him that this is the most correct way?" A thought suddenly popped into He Guicai's mind, "Perhaps there are some things in the situation that we haven't noticed, but Xianshu took them into account If this is the case, then it will be difficult to make a decision." He coughed twice, and looked at the princess bravely, "I heard that the Fang family is good at magic calculations. I wonder if Your Highness has asked their opinions before?"

Ning Wanjun frowned, "Wars are not fortune-telling! If you can get accurate results in this kind of thing, what do you need your staff to do?"

Sure enough, he was trained.Staff Officer He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Highness is very right. I will formulate countermeasures according to the strategy."

Ning Wanjun walked out of the tent and looked towards the northwest area.

What she didn't tell the other party was that she did ask about the situation in a roundabout way before, but the answer she got was that the divination technique was completely invalid.Even Fang Xiandao himself found this unbelievable. In the past, as long as he avoided Xia Fan as a source of interference and used other things as the target of hexagram calculations, he could basically draw a conclusion—as for whether it was accurate or not, that was another matter.

But this time, whether he chose the Privy Council or the Jinxia City, the hexagrams showed chaos, as if something had completely disrupted the movement of the air mechanism, causing everyone's fate to be hidden in the swirling vortex.

In Fang Xiandao's words, it was the first time he had seen such a vision.

Since it was a vision, Ning Wanjun decided it was better not to tell his subordinates.

According to the enemy's marching speed, this main force will arrive at Jinxia City in five days.If all goes well, this kind of war will end tomorrow evening, but Ning Wanjun feels that things will not develop as Yuyi expected—whether it is Baizhan's unreasonable practice or the vision encountered by Fang Xiandao's divination. It shows that the situation has changed in an invisible place.

She was ready to do whatever it took to end it.

……

At dusk the next day, Qian appeared in front of the army of the Privy Council.

And farther away, an inland river troop from Jinxia City has also arrived at the cover position - this troop is under the joint command of Noah Shuzhou's Fan En and Jinxia's Qianyan, and its main task is to cover Yuyi when the negotiation breaks down Retreat, and block the advance speed of the main force of the Privy Council.

They are not many in number, there are only four fast boats, and the number is about one hundred, but their combat power on the water cannot be underestimated.The four ice ships are all shuttle-shaped shells, covered with layers of vines, they are new ships made by the elves of the Mechanism Bureau.To put it simply, the outer layer of the original green shuttle is covered with a layer of ice shell to form a double-check hull, which can not only greatly reduce the resistance of the water facing surface, but also facilitate the installation of the astronomical instrument and the shaft propeller system, so that it can sail in the inland river. The traveling speed has reached an astonishing thirty knots, and the original tentacles of the Green Shuttle can flexibly adjust its posture, and its steering efficiency is much higher than that of the tail rudder, which can be regarded as the perfect combination of mechanism and magic.

Based on this alone, they already have an absolute advantage in the initiative.

Chapter 483 The Peace Talks Broke

On the other side, army scouts also quickly discovered Qian who was approaching step by step.

"Who? Stand still!"

A three-member light cavalry team quickly surrounded them, and the captain at the head warned loudly.In the situation where it is impossible to tell whether the visitor is an alchemist or not, even one person has to be on guard. Two horse bows have already drawn strings and set arrows, aiming at Yuyi from one left and one right.

"I'm the chief of the Privy Council. You go back and report the letter, and let the commander of the Chinese army come out to see me." Gan remained unmoved and continued to move forward steadily.

This posture made the scout stunned.

"What? I seem to have heard this name somewhere..." someone muttered.

"Are you stupid? That's the Yuyi envoy of the Privy Council!" The captain finally came to his senses, "But why did he appear here?"

"So is this one of us, or a big shot from above?"

"Brother, what should I do?"

The captain was also a little flustered, let alone Yuyi, he hadn't even seen a few guards. If it wasn't for the reputation of being too famous, he might not be able to remember it immediately.

"You, you put away your bows first." The captain suddenly realized that his subordinates were still pointing arrows at each other, and waved quickly.If the other party is really the core power holder of the Privy Council, wouldn't I be suspected of committing a crime by doing this?If Yu Yi was annoyed, ten heads might not be enough.

"You two stay here and watch—no, stay with your lord, I'll report right away." After confirming that there was no one else around, the captain rode his horse and ran towards the camp.

He thought very clearly, anyway, the other party was alone, even if Jin Xia pretended to be an alchemist, it wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.As for whether this Yuyi is true or not, he is not the scout captain who can decide, not to mention that General Yuan and His Royal Highness the Second Prince are both in the army at the moment, so he just needs to bring the words.

After a while, Qian saw a team of hundreds of people approaching here.

Not only that, but the camp in the distance also seemed to be moving, and two lines of men and horses came out in a row, forming a corner with the team.Judging from the large expanse of dust flying up, the opponent not only had a large number of people, but they were all heavily armored cavalry.

At this time, a sharp bird song sounded behind him.

That was a warning from Jinxia's troops—in all likelihood, they had also noticed the abnormal movements of the main force of the Privy Council. According to the plan, he should turn back immediately at this time, join the backup troops, and evacuate here as soon as possible.

But make a decision and wait for a while.

Because he saw Ning Qianshi in the other party's crowd.

This is definitely a surprise, the general core members rarely appear on the front line, let alone the second prince himself.Rather than convincing the commander-in-chief of the army, it is obviously more useful to let Ning Qianshi know the cause and effect of the incident. As long as Bai Zhan and Fei Nian tell each other the truth about the rebellion, this war should also disappear invisible.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince—" he took a step forward, and just in the middle of speaking, his expression froze suddenly.

Because he saw a familiar face slowly walking out from behind Ning Qianshi—and this person was himself!

There was actually another Yuromo in the team!

In an instant, Qian understood who that person was, or... what it was.

Ning Qianshi's technique, the person in the painting.

He used this technique to create an almost real story, no matter what he said next, his credibility would be greatly reduced.More importantly, this means that the situation is turning to the worst - Ning Qianshi is on Baizhan's side, otherwise it would be impossible to intentionally create the illusion that Yuyi is safe and sound.

"Why?" Countless words surged in my heart, and finally there was only one disappointment left, "Have you forgotten the former Tianshu envoy and our past oath?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about." The second prince said expressionlessly, his eyes were as blank as a sheet of white paper, "If you get caught without a fight and honestly explain why you came, I might consider to spare your life."

This is the end of the matter, don't hesitate anymore.

It is meaningless to argue about who is real and who is fake. From the moment he saw the person in the painting, he knew that his plan had been shattered.

Moreover, his injury has just been healed, and his strength is far from returning to the usual level. If he is deeply encircled at this time, the Jinxia troops who support him may be affected.

Yuyi suddenly rushed towards the scout at the side, the latter obviously didn't expect the gang to attack him, and froze in place, when he reacted, he was easily picked up and thrown to the ground by the other party.

"drive!"

With his legs clamped, he rode his horse and ran towards the river.

"If you dare to pretend to be Master Yuyi, chase me!" General Yuan ordered loudly.

"I want to live." Ning Qianshi added.

"Yes, Your Highness! Catch me alive, do you understand?"

"Here!"

Several mixed teams rushed out of the crowd one after another, chasing after Gan's back.

The heavy cavalry on both wings also gathered, trying to compress the dry escape route from the side.

"The negotiation broke down, everyone, act according to plan No. [-]!" Fann put down the binoculars and shouted at the crowd.Then he looked at Qianyan, "What you do as a cover is up to you."

Since participating in the battle to rescue the Silver Star Tree Boat last time, Fan En has changed his past view of keeping a distance from humans and has become an official officer in Jinxia's army.At the same time, after dealing with the mainland side more, it also made him understand that there are many people in Jinxia City who cannot judge their age and level based on their appearance. Even if they look like children, they are actually better than elders and high priests.

For example, the little black-haired girl in a snow-white robe in front of her.

Qianyan nodded, picked up the rectangular metal spear on the bow of the boat with one hand, and jumped onto the river bank - Fann had also tried that new weapon, and with all his strength, he could barely hold it in his hand, just because of its portability. It's far worse than an air rifle.But seeing the sight of the six-foot-long new gun as light as a feather in Qian Yan's hands, he doubted his own judgment again.

"Captain, Shuttle Ray is ready." An elf reported.

Fann restrained himself and ordered decisively, "Very good, let's go!"

The so-called Shuozi mine was the "Xunshu torpedo" made by the Jizhi Bureau before. It was used to deal with Dongsheng's sailing battleship Victory in the Jinxia City defense battle.However, after many improvements, today's Shuozi Lei no longer needs the support of Sunda.Its driving device was replaced with a purely mechanical clockwork power, as long as it was powered up in advance, it could support it to sail for half a mile, and even further when sailing downstream.

Since it cannot control the direction and is easily overturned by waves, this weapon has little effect in naval battles, but it is a first-class road blocker in calm inland rivers.

The reason why the main force of the Privy Council chose to advance along the river is precisely because the efficiency of shipping is much higher than that of land transportation. If you want to support an army of 10,000+ people, it is difficult to move without the logistics provided by the river.Therefore, every time the army camped, the river would be filled with all kinds of ships. At the same time, experienced generals would arrange corresponding guard posts and fast boats to prevent the enemy from harassing the supply fleet from the water.

The soldiers on the sentry tower quickly noticed Jin Xia's approaching ice ship and sounded the alarm in advance.However, he found that the few boats did not continue to approach the camp, but turned their hulls across the river, and released dozens of strangely shaped boats one after another.

These small boats had neither oars nor sails, and were only about the size of a man, they were supposed to be scattered by the current.But they dragged white trails and headed straight towards the camp.

Chapter 484 The Flame of War Is Finally Burned

Seven or eight single-masted ships have already raised their sails and left the shore, ready to intercept the ice ship from Jinxia City.

A bonfire was also lit on the side of the camp, as long as the opponent dared to continue to approach, they would be greeted by a volley of rockets.

As for those small boats, no one paid any attention to them.

Everyone knows that even if the boat is filled with grease, the threat to the army is extremely low - the sides of the boat are made of wood that has been soaked in water for a long time, so how could it be so easy to ignite? This is enough time for the boatman to use the pole to push the boat away .Even if one or two ships do burn, the other ships can quickly distance themselves before being affected.

Another point is that the speed of these small boats is too fast, and the intercepting sailboats have just left the shore, and they have already inserted into the fleet on the shore.

"Bring over the pole!"

"Watch out for fire!"

The boatmen reminded each other that the shore was very lively for a while.

But the expected flame did not appear.

The small boat was still gurgling and trying to move forward, even though it was stuck on the side of the ship by the big ship, the foam surging in the rear did not subside.

"What the hell is this thing for?"

"It seems to be an ordinary wooden shuttle..."

"Ordinary wooden shuttles can't move by themselves, why don't you fish one up and have a look."

At this time, the magnitude of the bubble churning is getting smaller and smaller.

Clockwork power has run out.

A soldier actually used it to catch a net, intending to fish it out to see what happened, but at this moment, the propeller stopped turning.The chain trigger was triggered, and a cluster of high-heat sparks quietly appeared, igniting all the charges inside the hull.

In an instant, a series of violent explosions erupted on the river bank, and waves of flames soared into the sky. The wild air currents caused shock waves on the water surface, and at the same time, the surrounding ships were torn to pieces!

All of a sudden, everyone noticed the change on the shore of the camp.

Not only the main force of the Chinese army, but even the chasing cavalry became a little flustered.

Could it be that this alchemist pretending to be a dry man is just a cover, and the real purpose of the enemy is to make a fool of himself?The food and supplies in the camp were all stored along the river. If the river bank was not protected, the situation in the rear would be in jeopardy.

Some people have subconsciously slowed down the pace of pursuit.

Qianyan, who was located three miles away, used the ice platform to climb a big tree, and placed the electromagnetic gun firmly between the branches of the tree crown.She is one of the first group of people in Jinxia City to master the activation method of the streamer, and her progress is only a little slower than that of Mo Yun and Li. Thinking of Jinxia City made her eager to learn new things.

As long as it is something that has never been seen before, Qian Yan will study it one by one, regardless of whether it is useful or not.

After all, what she lacks most is time.

Through the first-generation scope transformed from a telescope, Qianyan saw the alchemist who was galloping and chasing after him. She pushed the bullet into the barrel of the gun, held her breath, and put the crosshairs on the closest to Yuyi. on the alchemist.

According to Xia Fan, compared to the new gun's lethal range of more than five miles, its shooting accuracy is a problem that cannot be solved for the time being-each barrel can only guarantee enough accuracy for the first ten shots, and it will become more and more accurate after that. Low.Of course, there is also the problem of gradual decline in the first ten shots, and each time the barrel is replaced, it takes two to three test shots to correct the team's scope, so the actual recommended combat distance is about one mile, and If there is no special need, it is best to aim and shoot directly with the naked eye.

Qian Yan can naturally see that this is Xia Fan's concern about the loss of the barrel - once equipped with a scope, everyone will want to shoot as far as possible, test firing and debugging are inevitable processes, which is equivalent to further shortening the barrel. The life of the barrel.On the other hand, if you only use machine sights, there is almost no need to test fire at a distance of one mile, and the accuracy of the hit can barely be accepted until the barrel is scrapped. It is a way to maximize the use of weapons.

But Qianyan didn't take it seriously.

Since this weapon is characterized by its astonishing range and power, it should be used to the limit. As for whether it will cause headaches for the mechanism bureau, that is not something she should consider.

The moment the alchemist took out the talisman, Qian Yan pulled the trigger.

The body of the gun suddenly shook.

Only a sharp roar was heard, and the head of the chasing horse suddenly exploded, followed by the alchemist on the horse - his chest was swept by the rolling bullets, and a large ball of red mixture suddenly spewed out from his back !

The others were horrified!

What kind of alchemy is this?

From their point of view, that colleague seemed to explode from the inside suddenly. The hole opened in the back was half the size of a washbasin. This kind of injury, let alone a magician, even a fairy magic Can't save it!

However, the pursued man obviously didn't even turn his head. How did he cast spells on the people behind him?

Then the same thing happened to the second person——

The part that exploded this time was at the waist, and the surgeon lost half of his body in an instant, and fell from the horse's back while flying, and the organs in his stomach flowed all over the floor.

There was no warning, the type of spell could not be distinguished, and there was no way to deal with it. Horror quickly turned into fear.Almost without anyone's reminder, everyone has distanced themselves from Qian, and spread further apart from each other.

But in the triple magnification scope, these actions are almost as static, as long as they are still behind Gan, it doesn't take much energy for Qianyan to adjust the direction.

She wrapped the barrel of the gun with ice and fired continuously, the enemies fell to the ground one by one, or even killed the mounts altogether, but until now, the enemies have not found her hiding in the canopy.

When the eighth person fell, Gan's back had become a death-like existence in the hearts of the pursuers, and finally someone was overwhelmed by fear, and fled back pale.This move was quickly passed on to others, and everyone turned their horses around one after another, and fled across the road, hoping to get as far away from Gan as possible.No matter how determined an alchemist is, he will feel sincerely terrified in the face of this irresistible death technique.

Seeing the mixed squad fleeing in all directions, the general of the heavy cavalry also murmured in his heart.

The task they received was to assist the alchemist in capturing Jinxia's Qi-infected person. Now that the alchemist has withdrawn, do they still need to swarm up and continue to surround the other party?What if this person is really a bait, proficient in escape techniques, and leads them into the trap instead?The general looked back at the billowing black smoke rising from the camp area behind, and finally gave the order to stop the pursuit and return to the camp.

In fact, even if they continued to pursue deeply, it was too late to complete the block before Qian boarded the ship.

The moment he received the call, the elves who were ambushing in the jungle by the bank immediately withdrew to the boat and evacuated towards Jinxia at full speed.With the triple blessing of the astronomical instrument, the green shuttle tentacles and the downstream sailing, any sailing boat can only be amazed in front of these ice fast boats.

At the same time, the news of the failure of the meeting with the army of the Privy Council quickly spread throughout Shenzhou through radio waves.

Chapter 485 It's Like the Wind

Ning Wanjun was not surprised when she received this news.

That night, under her command, Jinxia's Left Route Army marched fifty miles to a small town called Wangjiang.
