The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Li Zhong used his defensive advantage to block the puppet attack at the gap, but soon, more elite soldiers from the air broke through the blockade of spiritual arrows, and the puppet soldiers on the ground also approached the shield hand without fear of death.

As more and more soldiers poured in from the gap, Li Zhong's archers had to draw their swords to deal with the enemies on the ground. Originally, the elite soldiers in the air planned to launch a surprise attack from behind. Now that the number of archers decreased, these elite soldiers were even more frustrated. They gathered quickly.

Li Zhong wanted to maintain the formation, and once more and more soldiers surrounded them, regardless of whether they were still here, the gap would be broken, and he could only let a few commanders in charge of security participate in the ground battle. , quickly reduce the number of crazy charging puppets.

The elite soldiers in the air saw the opportunity, and ten people from the Danjie Realm used magic to bombard Li Zhong's formation shield to the point of collapse. More than twenty people from the Concentration Realm were led by two Danjie Realm people. Xia launched a melee charge from the air.

With the blessing of magic weapons and magic weapons, the charge of these puppets is enough to break up the formation and cause considerable damage. Together with the puppet soldiers on the ground, it is very likely that Li Zhong's hundred-man team will be completely annihilated.

Li Zhong keenly felt the threat from the air, but the manpower in his hands was not enough to organize an effective defense line. Facing the air attack, he could only fight alone.

The spiritual arrows fired by the remaining ten archers could only damage three elite soldiers. Then a round of magic bombardment shattered the top of the shield maintained by Li Zhong. The magic affected the archers and all dozen people fell. The ground cannot rise.

At this critical moment, hundreds of spiritual arrows suddenly shot from the direction of the military town, surrounded by white and green auras. The puppets who had just cast the spell felt this threat, and immediately used magic weapons to protect their bodies and shot out of the city. retreat. However, it was too late for the charging puppets to change direction and retreat. All the spiritual arrows hit them, and the exploding wind spirit force threw them all against the city wall.

The spirit arrow not only killed the puppets in the air, but also landed at the gap in the city wall. After landing, it exploded with a strong impact, throwing away the surrounding Qi Gathering Realm puppet soldiers, thus preventing the charge of the puppets on the ground.

Li Zhong gave the order: "Advance!"

As the order was passed on, the spearmen took back the spears that had penetrated the enemy and used their bodies to provide support for the shieldmen. Inspired by their spiritual power or inspired by the battle stone, the spiritual shield in the hands of the shield hand shined with dazzling white light.

The shield bearers used all their strength to slam the spiritual shield against the puppet soldiers in front. The strong impact of the white light burst out and knocked all the puppet soldiers in the front row away. The shield bearers themselves also suffered a huge impact, but with the support of the spearmen who had been prepared, they barely stabilized their position.

The puppet soldiers who were temporarily blocked from follow-up support immediately fell into chaos after the attack was blocked. The sword-wielding archers on both sides took the opportunity to push back the enemies in front of them. The spearmen grasped their spears again and began to stab the chaotic puppet soldiers. . The shield bearers who had regained their composure also followed closely behind, gradually forcing the puppet soldiers back into the gap.

Just when Li Zhong thought he could hold off the enemy's charge, he noticed that the third batch of 500 defenders behind him had arrived. The five hundred defenders who previously defended the city wall suffered heavy casualties and completely collapsed. The second batch of defenders who changed defenses were suppressed in the outer city and dispersed to avoid the rain of arrows. The enemy army suddenly broke through the city wall, and Li Zhong had no time to reorganize the defenders.

Fortunately, Lin Hu's support order caused the third batch of defensive troops to arrive in time. Their arrival temporarily brought the gap in the outer city wall back under the control of the defenders.

After repelling the puppet attack, Li Zhong commanded the defenders to begin clearing the battlefield and used heavy materials directly to plug the gaps in the city wall.

After arranging the tasks of all commanders, he discussed the support situation with several captains and asked: "Why don't you see Lin Hu?"

A captain replied: "Master Protector, Brother Lin just ordered us to provide quick support. We have not seen her in person."

Li Zhong thought for a moment and then said: "It doesn't matter. It would be good for her to have a little more time to organize the defense of the military town."

Another captain said cautiously: "Master Protector, please forgive me, the defense of this outer city has been almost completely destroyed, and we may not be able to defend it."

Although the captain did not finish what he said, Li Zhong knew very well what he had not said. He shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "We can't retreat. Those puppets in the air move quickly. We can barely resist by forming a formation. Once we retreat, they will cover up and kill them from behind, and everyone will die."

Li Zhong had hidden worries in his heart but never revealed them. He never expected that the puppet army's offensive would be so fierce, nor did he expect that the defensive formation they had spent so much effort building in the outer city would be so fragile in front of the enemy.

With Li Zhong's insight, it is reasonable to fail to foresee these changes. Chen Subaru's ability to understand the secrets of the formations in each military town does not mean that the coach of each military town can understand the details.

According to Xiao Ling's memory, as soon as Chen Subaru stepped into the no-man's land, he realized that these military formations took advantage of the geographical advantages of a county. Although the military garrison is not strong in strength, with the help of these formations, it is enough to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Even if the military town fell and was razed to the ground, the foundations of these formations would still stand. As long as the Beifu Army regains its lost ground, the formation will be able to recover quickly. To destroy the great formation, it is necessary to capture most of the military towns in one fell swoop and send formation masters to cut off its opportunities. Once the formation loses power, it will fall into silence, and its re-establishment will be as difficult as the nirvana of a phoenix.

Chen Subaru once thought that the formations of these military towns were the result of joint research by certain sects who were proficient in formations. However, until he obtained the formation diagram of the "Pseudo Yin Yang Killing Formation", he learned from Chen Jiao that the formation established by the Beifu Army in the no-man's land was also created by this genius formation master and was called the "Mountain and River Formation". ".

It was precisely by relying on the power of the "Mountain and River Formation" that the military town in Taishan County was able to hold on under the fierce offensive of the Holy Clan army until the support of Chen Subaru and Lingxi. In comparison, the "Mountain and River Formation" pales in comparison to the city defense formation that Li Zhong temporarily assigned the formation masters to deploy.

Li Zhong was not proficient in formations, and although the formation master in Junzhen knew a thing or two, Li Zhong was extremely busy and rarely had the opportunity to have in-depth conversations with him, so he was unable to explain the differences between the two formations to him. In addition, Gaoping County has abundant supplies, and the formation master did not realize how high Li Zhong's expectations for the outer city formation were.

When receiving the task of setting up a formation, he could only follow the order and design a defensive formation for the outer city. Li Zhong himself had never seen the methods of the monks who transformed into gods, and as an array master, he had no way of knowing. Therefore, when designing the formation, the impact of the blessing of the power of law on the formation was not considered. This is also the fundamental reason why the formation collapsed at the first touch when faced with the long-range attack of the half-stepped god-turned-god general Qianhu Kazuto.
