Heaven's Formula

Fang Xiandao frowned.

Fortunetellers can remind and hint, but they should not personally intervene in the divination.

No matter what the hexagram is, it is only aimed at the caster himself, and the results obtained are only effective for himself.This is why he used to be confident that he could find an optimal solution under any circumstances.

But once the bystander becomes the person in the hexagram, the situation will become different.

The old lady and the old man have repeatedly reminded them not to let themselves become part of the divination.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Xiandao turned around, "Qianzhi, it's time to go."

However, Qianzhi has disappeared.

When he turned his head again, the little girl had already rushed into the crowd.

"This guy!" Fang Xiandao's eyes widened. Didn't he mean that the living dead are very dull?Why did she act on her own before she opened her mouth?

In desperation, he had no choice but to run after him.

In the blink of an eye, Qianzhi passed through the crowd and collided head-on with the three knife-wielding men.The latter did not show mercy because the visitor was a five or six-year-old girl, so he raised his knife and slashed at her.

Qianzhi moved faster than the assailant. She jumped up like a cat, caught the opponent's long knife with both hands in the air, and then interlaced her palms, directly breaking the blade.When falling, he took advantage of the situation and slapped the enemy on the forehead.

The person's entire face collapsed immediately, and blood gushed from his ears.

"Hey!" The other two, one on the left and one on the right, slashed at the back of Qianzhi who had just landed.

"Thousands of knowledge, use the technique!" Fang Xiandao shouted.

Qianzhi clasped his hands together and shouted in a childish voice, "Icing-jutsu!"

It's not icing, it's frosting!Fang Xiandao couldn't help roaring in his heart, after all, what the hell is it that the word Bing has to prolong?

But no matter what she yelled, the natural spell was activated in an instant, the air around her cooled down sharply, and a thick ice crystal condensed behind her in an instant!

The long knife slashed into the ice with a swipe, its strength exhausted and it could no longer penetrate an inch.

The two showed a look of horror.

Qianzhi pushed away the ice, stepped on the ground and bounced up, two feet in the air, hitting the enemy's neck!With two crisp clicks, the attacker's neck twisted into a strange shape, and he fell to the ground.

As expected of the living dead... This skill is stronger than most alchemists.Although Fang Xiandao was full of admiration in his heart, he put on a serious expression on his face, "Why didn't you follow my order and act without authorization? Do you know that this will disturb the conditions for divination!"

"Qianzhi, you are good at fighting fires!" The little girl raised her hand and said.

"You are only saving the fire for a while, you can't save the fire of Jinxia!"

"Qianzhi, good at analysis!" She immediately changed her words.

"What?" Fang Xiandao didn't react for a while.

"The old lady said that the enemy's accomplice is the enemy. These three people are dressed in the same clothes as the guy who wanted to attack the young master before, so they are the enemy's accomplice. They should be eliminated to avoid future troubles."

"..." This logic is impeccable.Fang Xiandao decided not to bother with the living dead anymore, "Okay, this hexagram can't be deduced anymore. Let's go out of the city first, and then we will—"

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, because there were dense footsteps coming from the long street behind him, and it sounded like there were hundreds of people!

Is this the pirates outflanking them from the rear?

Fang Xiandao grabbed Qianzhi by the collar and dragged her into an alley.

After a while, the source of the sound appeared at the other end of the street. To his great surprise, it was not pirates, but soldiers trotting forward in rows!

They didn't have uniform armor, and even their clothes and weapons were varied, but Fang Xiandao made it clear that they were definitely not ordinary people.What made him make this judgment was the flag held high in the hands of the comers.

One side has a yellow background and a red border, embroidered with the word Ning and phoenix wings, representing the royal princess.

On the other side, there is a gold pattern on a black background, with a Chinese character Shu in the middle, which is the official flag of the Privy Council.

Together with the team, the two flags rushed towards the smoky Dongcheng District like a torrent.

At the same time, people kept shouting loudly——

"Jinxia City has been invaded by the enemy, everyone please take refuge in the outskirts of Xicheng District immediately! Don't stay at home, don't stay in the city, we have someone to guide and escort you there! Don't be afraid, Her Royal Highness will protect you!"

1Chapter 17 巷战

It was the first time Xia Fan saw the princess in military uniform.

Different from Qiguo's standard armor, Ning Wanjun's armor is obviously custom-made for her, only the chest, shoulders and arms are covered with metal armor plates, and the bottom is a white short robe, black cloth trousers and A pair of tall moccasin boots.

If it's just like this, it can only be regarded as ordinary, at most, a certain amount of defense is sacrificed for convenience.

But on her right shoulder, a bright red cloak with sleeves brought this armor to life—half sleeveless, half gown, with a single gusset from the chest to the waist belt, separating the wearer into red The two distinct parts are as dazzling as they want.

Coupled with Ning Wanjun's own dazzling look, Xia Fan couldn't help but think of the red-hot meteor.

If she rushed to fight on the battlefield, wouldn't the cloak swinging in the wind be the same as the falling star that parted the night?

Although there are certain safety hazards in being too conspicuous, there are risks in the princess's own battle, and her dressing becomes a trivial matter.

As the person leading the charge, naturally the more distinctive the better.

After passing through the west gate, the large army split into two groups, and the 600 people led by Xu Sanzhong turned to the southern city, targeting the weapon depot there.And the princess rushed to the east with more than [-] people, intending to take the Jinxia granary before the enemy.

In the end, the remaining 200 people were handed over to Zhao Dahai and Li Xing. The main task was to evacuate the people in the city and place them in temporary camps outside the city.

This is also the general plan to deal with the enemy formulated in the short pre-war meeting.

The west city wall is the farthest from the east, so it is not a problem to hold it in your hand.As long as the Nancheng District takes down the arsenal and distributes the crossbows, spears and armors inside, the strength of the princess's army can be greatly enhanced, and the southern city wall can naturally be preserved.

Both the east wall and the north wall are within the attack range of the gunboat, which is a part that can only be abandoned temporarily.

Therefore, the granary in Dongcheng District has become the top priority in seizing the city.

The enemy is coming across the sea, so the supplies must be limited, the best way is to get them locally.

In other words, as long as one's own side can capture the granary, it can greatly damage the enemy's logistics.

Because of this, the team led by the princess is the largest among the three troops, and it is also the main force in this battle.

"Report Your Highness, the scouts found signs of enemy activity at the entrance of the ancient street, and the number of them is about 200!" Suddenly, a scout reported back.

"Have they all come here?" Ning Wanjun kept walking, "It seems that this group of people is no less familiar with Jinxia City than us."

"From this point of view, the enemy may have been eyeing the granary from the very beginning." Qiuyue showed a worried expression.

"So what? Whether you can occupy this place or not depends on your strength in the end. But there is one thing we at least have the advantage."

"what?"

"The number of people who are sensitive." Ning Wanjun smiled. "In the past, alchemists were precious in the frontier army, but now we have less than two thousand troops, and there are as many as ten alchemists, not to mention there are demons to help, so relax. some."

"Your Highness, are you serious?" Xia Fan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, "The alchemists I recruited... No, they are temporary workers. At most, they have only dealt with evil spirits. You'd better not have any expectations of them."

Not to mention Master, Sun Haotian and others, even he himself doesn't know much about it.

"How could it be? Even the worst qi-sensing person is still a qi-sensing person. Besides, the battlefield is always the place where people are trained the most. You'll know when you experience it once."

"Okay, what should I do later?"

"It's very simple, just find a way to cast the spell on the enemy." Ning Wanjun raised her eyebrows forward and said, "Look, the opponent is waiting for us. Send an order to stop advancing!"

"Your Highness has an order to stop advancing!"

"Your Highness has an order to stop advancing!"

Shouts sounded one after another in the team, and quickly spread from the front row to the rear.

It was the first time for Xia Fan to participate in the battle of this era - it sounds like 200 people are not many, but when he stopped on the street, it was completely dark, and the shining sword pointed straight ahead, like a wall of sharp blades, and his momentum was no less than that of a princess. How much is the difference here.

In fact, the width of a street is at most enough for a dozen people to stand side by side. In addition, you have to beware of enemies coming from the roof and other street intersections, so your own numerical advantage cannot be reflected.

The two sides are facing each other, and the distance is so close that you can see each other's faces. Once they fight, there will be people behind them, and it can be said that there is no way out at all. The so-called meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, may be a true portrayal of street fighting in this era.

"I'll break through the front, and I'll leave it to you on the roof, Xia Fan."

Ning Wanjun raised his spear so that everyone could see his maroon spear tip, "Heading, five teams form a group, attack with me!"

"His Royal Highness has an order, five teams form a group, follow and attack!"

When the order spread, she slowly tipped the barrel of the gun, and when the point pointed at the enemy, she shouted, "Charge!"

The 25 people in the front row roared in unison, and rushed towards the opposite side——

The enemy also responded at the same time, raising their knives forward one after another, without any intention of retreating.

At this time, momentum and will will play a decisive role.

The two streams of people collided in an instant, and the whole street suddenly boiled up!

Although it seems to be a battle between cold weapons, the existence of qi sensers has raised the killing efficiency to a new level.Ning Wanjun rushed out from the crowd and plunged straight into the enemy formation like a sharp knife. The surging air condensed waves of heat on the barrel of the gun and her hands, which could injure anyone who touches them and kill them right in the middle. The high temperature can even ignite clothing and hair.

Xia Fan couldn't help but recall the scene of everyone fighting the Blood Crow in Gaoshan County.

At that time, I only felt that the situation was extremely critical, and only Ning Wanjun was struggling to support it, but if I were to think about it as a blood crow, I guess the experience of facing this fierce offensive would not be much better.

But compared to Ning Wanjun, what surprised him even more was the maid Qiuyue—she was also a Qi-sensing person, and she used a longbow.

Street fighting should not be a good place for long-range weapons to play, but this is invalid for Qiuyue.She flexibly uses every high platform—sometimes stone lions and long tables on the street, sometimes protruding eaves and beams, to accurately send feather swords to the target's neck and unarmored parts, within 20 meters Almost no arrows were missed.

"Brother Xia, be careful!" Wei Wushuang reminded.

Xia Fan withdrew his attention and set his eyes on the other side of the row of roofs - only twenty or so Dongsheng Kingdom warriors holding light crossbows had come up from both sides.

Leading the team were two masked swordsmen wrapped in black tights.

This is probably a ninja.

Is the alchemist of the Privy Council against Dongsheng's ninjutsu... What a dramatic contest.

Although he was so slanderous in his heart, he still raised his vigilance to the highest point - the loss he suffered in the last contest with Qingzi was still vivid in his memory, Xia Fan decided not to come within five steps of them unless necessary.

Seeing the other party raise the light crossbow, Luo You'er, who was following Xia Fan, cast the spell first.

"Xun Shu returns to Chen, blow the willows!"

Chapter 148 Repression

Luo You'er's proficiency in this move was second only to the wind-seeking technique. As soon as her words fell to the ground, a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the roof.

However, compared to the normal natural wind, this wind blows from bottom to top, straight into the sky, as if an invisible curtain wall has been pulled out in front of the alchemist and enemy qi sensers.

Under the influence of the willow blowing technique, the crossbow arrows fired by the opponent completely lost their accuracy, and even the lowest trajectory was still more than ten feet away from them.

At the same time, Xia Fan also prepared his own alchemy.

Since the experience taught by Ning Wanjun is "Just find a way to cast the spell on the enemy", he decided to try the water with the improved streamer spell with the longest strike range.

Holding the copper wire pendant and the circuit rune in his hands, Xia Fan silently recited the name of the spell to a black-clothed ninja who was only thirty steps away from him.

An extremely bright electric light suddenly shot out from between the fingers, piercing through the opponent's body.

But surprisingly, it didn't end there, but continued to rush towards the crossbowmen behind, and appeared on the second and third people one after another.

Xia Fan also felt that the Qi in his body was dropping rapidly.

It wasn't until more than half of the gas was consumed that the electric light crackled twice, turning from purple to blue, and then disappeared into the air.

As many as six or seven people collapsed on the roof with smoke, and the black-clothed ninja who bore the brunt was covered in smoke—it was not that he was unprepared, at least he could see his figure when he was hit by the electric light There was an obvious dislocation, probably a defensive technique such as substitute technique, but it still failed to save his life.

This shock technique made everyone stand on the spot in a daze.

In fact, Xia Fan himself was quite surprised.

He never expected that the improved streamer technique would have such an astonishing effect when fully cast.

Could it be that opponents like to hide a lot of metal props inside their clothes, such as darts and daggers, so that the excessive current will continue to search for the next release point?

It just takes too much gas.

But at the moment of the battle, it was absolutely impossible for him to expose this point to the enemy, so he took out another talisman from his pocket.

The other party's reaction was also extremely quick. After shouting twice, he jumped off the roof and disappeared into the long street.

"Are they—run away?" Xia Fan was slightly taken aback.

"Brother Xia, isn't your shock technique improving too fast?" Wei Wushuang slammed his mouth and said in disbelief, "The streamer technique can also exert such power, you really have the talent for technique!"

"I think... this shouldn't be explained by talent, right?" Luo You'er whispered, "The Luo family has a lot of geniuses, but this is the first time I've seen someone like a soil thief."

"Ahem, now is not the time to talk about this, let's focus on dealing with the enemy first." Xia Fan quickly changed the subject, "The people below are still fighting."

Having said that, when the defense line on the roof collapsed, the battle situation was no longer in suspense.

More archers climbed up to the houses on both sides of the street and shot downwards under the cover of alchemists. After more than half of the casualties, the resisting will of this blocking team completely collapsed, and they began to scramble to escape to the east.But Ning Wanjun concealed the killing all the way, and he did not know how many died due to the stampede.
