My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

In front of the army formation, Yang Ao rode his horse and came back as if he were strolling in a courtyard.

"Yang Ao, why are you the only one who has returned? Where have the others gone?" One of the first group of people, a general, frowned and looked at Yang Ao.

"The thief was alert and reacted quickly. His plan to grab the door failed. Everyone else was left in the city. The general was incompetent and only brought back Teng Yingzheng's head." Yang Ao lazily clasped his fists.

"It's ridiculous. How could they kill Tengfang when they were just a group of bandits?" The general heard this and said in shock: "It was clearly you who killed him!"

"Captain Li is joking, the general is also a soldier, how can he take action against Pao Ze?" Yang Ao shook his head, it was impossible for him to kill Pao Ze.

"With you by your side, why was Tengfang killed?" Lieutenant Li didn't believe that anyone in the bandit army could kill Tengfang. Even if he was defeated, with Tengfang's ability, it was easy to leave. How could he die there directly? ?

What's more, Yang Ao is by his side!

"The general is incompetent, otherwise how could he not be promoted for so many years? Besides, in this battle to seize the gate, the chief general is not the general. If this fails, the blame should not be placed on the general just because the general escapes back. General." Yang Ao shook his head.

"Do you have a grudge against me!?" Lieutenant Li stared at Yang Ao solemnly.

"How dare you?" Yang Ao shook his head, met Li Xiaowei's eyes and said, "It's just that the general is really curious. When Li Xiaowei and I served as camp commanders, in terms of cultivation, the general was older than the school captain. After entering the seventh rank, in terms of combat merit, there are many seventh-rank and even sixth-rank generals who have been killed by the general, but in the end it was you who became the captain. I wonder if the general can ask the captain for advice, so that he can look at his own shortcomings!"

"Yang Ao!" Lieutenant Li glared at Yang Ao, looked at him solemnly and said, "Do you know where you are now!?"

"That's enough!" With a deep shout, the leading general frowned and looked at Yang Ao and said: "Yang Ao, stand down!"

"Yes!" Yang Ao saluted the general with a fist and stepped aside.

"General, he..." Lieutenant Li opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the general.

"The war is about to begin, Colonel Li, do you want to shake the morale of the army?" The general's cold eyes fell on Colonel Li's face.

The war is about to begin, but our own generals start fighting first, and are laughed at. What do the soldiers around them think?

"I don't dare!" Lieutenant Li quickly said, cupping his fists.

"It seems that the thieves have no energy to protect the city. Since they can't seize the city gate quickly, let's attack by force!" The general looked towards the city wall and didn't care much about the failure to seize the gate.

He had dealt with a lot of these rebels from the Guiyi Sect on the way here. They were just a bunch of rabble. Even if he couldn't use tricks, without the green energy to protect the city, he was confident that he could break through the city today with the elite of the border army. .

"Take your orders!" Lieutenant Li agreed, and he and the other three lieutenants who came with him ordered someone to push a stone cart outside the city.

A catapult with a height of three to five feet slowly came out of the battle, driven by strong men. The officers and soldiers bullied the rebels because they did not have enough means to deal with it, so they directly drove the catapult a hundred steps outside the city wall.

"Fire arrows!" Youdu ordered the rebels guarding the city to fire arrows.

It's just that the rebels lacked training. Although they received two thousand sets of bows and arrows after entering the city, they were not as neat as the officers and soldiers, and the arrows they shot did not have the effect of arrow rain.

Lieutenant Li looked at this scene and sneered in his heart. A rabble is a rabble. Today I will ask you to see what an arrow array is!

"Archers, come in!"

Following his order, eight hundred burly archers quickly came to the catapult with strong bows on their backs and formed a square formation.

"lead!"

Raise your right hand slowly.

"crunch~"

A strong bow was drawn to its full capacity.

"put!"

As if to vent his dissatisfaction with Yang Ao, the moment his right hand struck down, there was an explosion of air.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

Eight hundred sharp arrows flew into the air, tearing the air and shooting diagonally towards the sky. They merged into a dense rain of arrows in the air and fell from the highest point with the roar of death.

This could only be considered a probing attack at best, but the response of the Chengtou rebels was somewhat indifferent.

The commanders didn't know how to respond. Some ordered the soldiers to raise their shields to resist, while others were at a loss. When faced with the sharp arrows that shot through the air, many of the rebels' reactions were to turn around and run away.

The arrows fell mercilessly on the city wall, and most of them were empty, but there were also many unlucky ones who were hit by sharp arrows. It was okay if they hit the vital points, and they walked away without pain, but if they didn't hit the vital points, they would suffer. Some were shot in the thigh, and some were shot in the arm. In this era of backward medical conditions, this was a fatal injury, and many people could not survive it in the end.

For a moment, the city walls were filled with shrill screams.

Lu Xuan watched all this happening indifferently. A rabble is a rabble. Even if they have gone through many battles before, these people can only fight with the wind. When they meet the regular army, their true colors are revealed after just one trial.

This is still a trial attack, and the siege equipment is not used yet.

It is hard to imagine that when those catapults exert force, they will collapse directly.

From the beginning, Lu Xuan did not expect these rebels to play any role. He was more curious about how Guo Chang would respond.

When Lu Xuan looked at Guo Chang, he found that Guo Chang had knelt down at some point.

He raised the official seal above his head in a lifting posture with both hands, and muttered something in his mouth. The official seal once again shone brightly.

Lu Xuan: "..."

If he hadn't known that there really was extraordinary power in this world, Lu Xuan would have really wanted to go over and kick him.

As Guo Chang chanted, the originally clear sky gradually dimmed.

Lu Xuan looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky had been obscured by dark clouds at some point.

Many people also noticed this scene and looked up to the sky one after another, only to see snowflakes falling in the sky. They were very small at first, but gradually became bigger and bigger, covering the entire Sanyang City.

"Is the Commander-in-Chief going to freeze the officers and soldiers to death?" Luo Juan asked uncertainly.

Guo Chang did not answer, but continued.

In the army formation, the general frowned at this scene, then turned his head, looked at a Confucian scholar beside him, and asked: "Mr. Sinan, is this... Confucian magical power?"

"This is a Taoist prayer for rain, but it is not Taoism, but the luck of Sanyang County." The Confucian scholar shook his head and said with a bit of ridicule: "Taoists have always been unwilling to contaminate the luck of the court, and do not want this Zhang Yuqing actually came up with this method to replace the green energy of protecting the city. This dynasty's luck is poison to Taoists, and Zhang Yuqing is looking for death."

"Pray for rain?" The general frowned. He didn't care about Confucianism or Taoism. He just wanted to know what the other party meant by doing this. So what if it snows?

"General, there's something wrong with the snow!" A captain suddenly pointed at the ground and said.

"Huh?" The general heard what the captain was pointing and looked at it. After a moment, he frowned and said, "Why does this snow melt when it hits the ground?"

It's winter now, and Yunzhou is located in the northern part of Daqian. Winter is already cold. If it snows in this season, it won't melt as soon as it falls.

"Not good!" The Confucian scholar came to his senses, looked at the general and said, "General, quickly order people to pull back the catapult!"

"Send my military order to withdraw the catapults!" Although the general didn't know why, he knew from the other party's expression that there was something deceitful about him, so he shouted immediately.

But it seems it's too late.

In the sight of the soldiers on both sides, the catapult was slowly sinking. Not only the catapult, but also Colonel Li and the strongmen and archers in front. They suddenly found that the ground under their feet became soft.

They didn't feel much at first, but soon they found their feet sinking into the ground.

The originally hard road turned into a quagmire at some point.

"No!" Lieutenant Li's expression also changed, and he said sternly: "Retreat and move the catapult back."

However, such a scene not only happened in the front, but also the ground under the feet of most of the army behind them began to become soft and muddy. However, the further away from the city, the weaker the effect.

But the catapult closest to the city was sinking deeper and deeper. The archers and strongmen could still break free, but each catapult weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. In this case, even if the strongmen tried desperately to carry it, Unable to move away, many strong men were dragged deeper and deeper by catapults.

Within three hundred steps outside the city, it soon turned into a quagmire, and those who ran slowly had already fallen into it.

"Maybe it can be broken!?" The general signaled the three armies to retreat, and at the same time looked at the Confucian scholar.

The Confucian scholar said bitterly: "This is the power of national destiny. If you want to compete, you must at least be a Confucian scholar. I am incompetent..."

Before the fifth level of Confucianism, even if one cultivates awe-inspiring righteousness, he or she can at most impose some status on oneself or an individual. Such range-based spells can only be cast without the help of luck after reaching the fifth level.

They were marching outside now, and he couldn't afford to use the green energy to protect the city dozens of miles away.

After thinking about it, the Confucian scholar added: "But general, there is no need to worry about this. The thieves do not practice benevolence. Although they barely win some luck, they will not last long. As long as the opponent gives up casting spells, this swamp will disappear. "

No spells are needed. The climate in Yunzhou has no conditions for the formation of swamps. As long as the opponent gives up casting spells, the water will freeze in a short time.

"Pass my military order to retreat ten miles to the stronghold!" Seeing that the outside of the city had turned into a swamp, the general felt helpless and could only postpone the attack on the city.

Please give me a recommendation, thank you very much~
