king array

Chapter 23

Chen Bing led Liangzhou troops to cross Qingni, which was the last pass to enter Gyeonggi.After breaking this last barrier, it was no longer possible to block the news of raising troops, so Chen Bing sent a team of formation masters as the vanguard, traveling thousands of miles a day, before the intelligence soldiers arrived at the imperial city.

At this time, it was the vanguard of the formation masters of the Liangzhou soldiers who were stirring up wind and rain at the base of the imperial city.The number of formation masters in this team was not large, but because they were unprepared, the city defenders were caught off guard, and for a while there was a momentum of black clouds overwhelming the city.

Ling Xun, Zhong Lishan and the others took advantage of the chaos to escape the pursuers in the execution ground, and a group of nearly 20 people fled to Mu's house smoothly.However, when he was about to reach Mu's house, Ling Xun looked at the half-new back door of Mu's house from a distance, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Zhong Lishan: "Brother Feng, why didn't you leave, but what happened?"

Ling Xun's eyes drooped slightly, and the sound of Liangzhou soldiers attacking the city came from a distance, like thunder exploding in the sky.The clouds under the flames of the beacon were dyed red, and at this time, everything in the city was wrapped in it, and everything was stained with blood.Ling Xun suddenly raised his eyes, and looked at Mu Zhai again, wondering if he was dazzled by the red cloud, his eyes seemed to be a little red.

"It's okay." Ling Xun took a deep breath, waved away the momentary loss of composure just now, turned to look at Zhongli Shan, and asked, "Brother Zhongli, do you trust me?"

Zhong Lishan was taken aback for a moment, he was used to Ling Xun's dog mouth that couldn't spit out ivory, now seeing his serious expression, he also became serious, saying: "You are not talking nonsense! My life is given by you , What else do you want to talk about whether you believe it or not?"

Ling Xun nodded, "Well, if you believe me, we will take advantage of the chaos and escape from the city. As far as I know, the riots outside were not ordinary rebels and bandits raising righteous things, but soldiers from Liangzhou besieging the city. This Mu Although the owner of the house has promised to protect you and me, but in the end, he is relying on others and giving them a handle. We might as well take advantage of the beginning of the war and everything is still uncertain, and risk our lives to fight out, it is worse than being a bird in a cage!"

Zhonglishan's bandits, none of them were cowards, and they didn't want to be constrained by others in such an oppressive place like the capital. The Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha, and went all the way back to their lair in Qingping Mountain.

As the leader, Zhong Lishan naturally thinks a little bit deeper. The chaos is just emerging, and there is still a chance to take advantage of the loopholes. When the Liangzhou soldiers and the court really confront each other, the capital will definitely be like an iron barrel. Don't say anything about leaving the city. It is unknown whether he will starve to death here without water or food, or be captured as a strong man and guard the city.

Furthermore, the Great Xia Dynasty is precarious, if it is about to explode this time, the world will be in chaos, and the good man is trapped in this small place, what is the pity?

Zhong Lishan took a deep look at Ling Xun, slapped him hard on the shoulder, and without saying anything, he took the knife and headed towards the southwestern city gate, and the bandits followed naturally.But Ling Xun looked back at Mu Zhai before leaving.

Fang Jue: "Master Feng, you have already made an appointment with the children of the Mu family, and now you suddenly change your plan, do you need to inform them?"

Ling Xun finally withdrew his gaze, and said indifferently: "The Patriarch of the Mu family hides his secrets. So far, he doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend. He accepted his help earlier out of helplessness. Now that he has found a bypass, he will part ways from now on. Bar."

On the surface, he said these words indifferently and seriously, but in fact he was just putting on airs. His heart was already soaked in the sourness of pouring heaven, and he thought to himself: Isn't the head of the Mu family a master of formation? Control, he would like to see if this powerful man can figure out his impromptu move as a better plan.

The general guarding the southwestern city gate was still the gatekeeper who was related to Liu Situ, but this time, they were not as warm as before.

"A traitor! You were almost thrown out of the city that day, but you have to stay here to seek death. It's too late to leave today!"

I don't know what kind of anger this gatekeeper has received from Liu Situ. When he sees Ling Xun at this time, he is like a mad dog breaking free from the dog chain. Not even feeding moves are enough.

At this time, the mobilization of troops in Beijing was not effective, and those who still had the ability to fight were all outside to meet the enemy. No one expected that at this juncture, someone would rush to the city from the inside out.This southwestern gate is not the main gate, and there are not many troops left behind, so they lost to Zhongli Shan and Ling Xun's bandits for a while.

Seeing that they were about to be unable to resist, more and more soldiers were injured and wounded, and if this continued, there would be no more troops to defend the city. The gatekeeper's expression froze, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Open the city gate and let them go!"

The closed city gate slowly opened, but Ling Xun shivered for no reason, always felt that the gatekeeper's last look looked weird, so he blurted out: "Wait, don't go out yet!"

However, it was already too late, several forwards headed by Wang Da saw the city gate opened, and stepped out first. At the same time, Ling Xun also saw densely packed silver nails on the ground outside the city gate.

It turned out that someone has already set up a formation!

As soon as Wang Da's feet touched the ground, he heard a few swishing sounds. The silver nails closest to him, which were only an inch long above the ground, suddenly shot up as high as a person, and two of them pierced directly through Wang Da's feet. right foot!Wang Da let out a cry of pain, subconsciously lifted his foot back, and stepped on a few more silver nails.

These silver nails seem to be linked by mechanisms, stepping on some of them will inevitably cause others to spring up.

I don't know how the people who set up the formation calculated, every time Wang Da stepped on the silver nails, the other silver nails he brought up must be poking at the most vital and most unavoidable place for him.

Wang Dayi had nowhere to use his abilities, so he was firmly trapped by the nail array, trampled on it, and was injured in the blink of an eye.

"Hei Scar, don't step on it anymore, come back quickly!" Ruan Ji, who had not yet left the city gate, jumped and said anxiously, but he didn't know whether Wang Da couldn't hear their words at all, or he had lost his mind, instead of retreating When he got inside the city gate, he walked deeper and deeper into the nail array, only to hear a series of popping sounds, and the nails pierced into his flesh, turning him into a bloody man in a blink of an eye.

Wang Da is quite skilled. The two people who strayed into the formation with him have already hung in the formation. One was pierced through the back of the head by a nail, and the other was pierced through from the bottom of the buttocks. , Alive as a human skewer.

Zhong Lishan's eyes turned red, and he didn't care about other people's obstruction, so he rushed into the nail formation to pull Wang Da.

At this time, the gatekeeper ordered the soldiers to drive the crowd out of the city gate, coaxing them into the nail formation like ducks, and the city gate, which had finally calmed down, fell into a scuffle again.

Ling Xun knew that if this went on, they would all have to explain here. Seeing the dazzling array of silver nails, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "This is the work of the array mage. Don't get in the way, get out of the way!" Then he jumped out of the crowd, tapped his foot, flew across a certain distance, and stepped on a certain silver nail impartially.

I saw that following his step, the silver nail that was going to pierce Wang Da's spine only halfway up, and then it retracted obediently, saving Wang Da's life.

Ling Xun didn't let go of his breath, and jumped up again, just in time to avoid another silver nail that jumped out from where he was originally standing. When he landed again and stepped on a silver nail somewhere, there was no one around. Then sprang up a new silver nail.

This shows that his calculation just now is correct. This silver nail formation seems to be watertight, but after all, it is just an ordinary mechanism formation, and the people who set up the formation do not have the ability to penetrate the sky and reach the earth. When setting up the formation, they will definitely leave a way for themselves.He didn't touch the mechanism when he landed this time, presumably he was stepping on that "way of survival".

Ling Xun was overjoyed in his heart, while making quick calculations, he kept jumping and turning, and approached Wang Da a little bit.Wang Da was also clever, at this moment he figured out the trickiness of this formation, endured being pierced through his legs and feet by the silver nails, he also gritted his teeth and stopped moving.

The gatekeeper who was watching this scene inside the city gate became more and more anxious. This silver nail formation was set up by the mage of the life formation, Zhongchang Shi, to guard against the rebels outside the city.It is already a serious crime for him to use this formation privately. If he let the bandits escape, it would be even more terrifying. Let the number one murderer, Feng Wuge, break this formation. Then if there are rebels attacking the city from here, there will be no defense force!Even if there were no rebels by chance, how could he end up with such a disaster?

It is said that a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, but the gatekeeper is not only in a hurry, but also fighting a trapped beast, so he is more ruthless and sends an order to the tower to let the crossbowman shoot an arrow at Ling Xun, and he must be put to death!

"Dog officer! What a ruthless method!" Zhong Lishan yelled, and threw a throwing knife directly through the gatekeeper's heart.

However, the order had already been issued, and the archers on the city tower unleashed their arrows, and the rain of arrows shot down on Ling Xun.

Ling Xun was originally a monk halfway, and it was already dangerous to break through the formation by force, how could he have the strength to resist the rain of arrows?

There are silver nails on the ground, and arrows raining mercilessly on the top. Ling Xun is about to turn into a hornet's nest that will overwhelm the country and the city.

A gust of breeze blew by, and there was a faint scent of orchids in the air.

Ling Xun suddenly felt a burst of fresh air pouring down from his brain, as if he became clear-sighted in an instant.He hastily glanced at the silver nail array under his feet, and he seemed to see something of the universe in the chaotic formation. Without thinking, he walked quickly through the silver nail array, and stepped on dozens of silver nails one after another.

An incredible thing happened, just after Ling Xun stepped on those silver nails, thousands of silver nails in the formation suddenly popped out from the ground. Wang Da rushed towards the arrow rain one after another!

There was only a sound of clanging and clanging, the silver nail collided with the arrow exactly, and the sharp killing force was removed, and it fell down like broken wood and rotten iron.

The silver nail array was broken, Zhong Lishan and others led the crowd out, but Ling Xun was still in a daze, unable to believe what he had just done.

"Brother Feng, why are you still standing there, let's go!" Zhong Lishan personally picked up the seriously injured Wang Da, and turned around to urge.

Ling Xun still didn't move, if he felt something, he turned his head suddenly, and happened to see the man he met in the narrow alley that day, standing at the foot of the city with wide sleeves and a light robe.

Just now the fighting under the city gate was so intense that no one paid attention to his arrival.

The man seemed to sense that Ling Xun was looking at him, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

However, Ling Xun's expression changed drastically. Unexpectedly by everyone, he rushed out with red eyes, and slashed at the man's vitals with a curved long knife!
