Twilight Boundary

After the grain-protecting army won a great victory, it was already getting late. It was an iron law of the battlefield to set up camp temporarily, rest for a day, and then attack the city in one go.

There are many more things to do to persuade them to surrender, test them, and find out the surrounding situation. I have never seen a large army pressing down, and they have to attack the city overnight without even taking a breath.

But the food security army actually did just that.

From where Hu Ma was, he looked down at the battle formation. As expected, he saw that under the cover of night, torches were suddenly lit in the dark military camp below. The next moment, he saw rolling grain security troops shouting in unison. , and fought towards Huzhou Fucheng.

In today's Huzhou Fucheng, a large circle of prosperous braziers has been lit in the center of the city, illuminating the table in the middle with a bright light. All around are men wearing red bellybands, holding steel knives.

On the stage, there was a man with makeup, makeup, a big beard, and an emerald green robe. It was Sister Deng Qi, the head of the Niang'er Sect, who was shouting angrily:

"Then Prince Mingzhou is also rude. He is from a martial arts background, but he can't tolerate my wife's family. He actually indulged his troops and destroyed our main altar and killed all our disciples in one day."

"Today is the time for us to avenge our disciples and make great achievements for Lord Jiao. Bring us here!"

"..."

All I could see were rows of tied up women and children. There were so many sacrifices that even the remaining disciples of the Niang'er Sect were not enough. Huzhou was needed. The soldiers and horses here help escort and guard.

As soon as these people saw that he was about to be brought to the altar, they all burst into tears. The Niang'ermen disciples nearby went up to yell and scold him, and there was a chaos for a while.

"Not enough, not enough!"

The seventh sister Deng shouted: "We use this method to kill the King of Mingzhou. He has become powerful, so the sacrifice must be small. The more sacrifices, the more ferocious our sword will be."

"Arrest people, arrest them, arrest them all, and send them to the altar."

"Don't feel bad. After you kill the King of Mingzhou and seize the rich land of Mingzhou, how many girls will you want?"

"Of course, if you join my wife's family, learn our skills from me, and understand the beauty of the growth of all things and the transformation of heaven and man, you will no longer think about these useless things between men and women..."

"..."

When he shouted like this, the city became more chaotic. I don't know how many people were arrested. Even the guards could not bear it. However, they were suppressed by Prince Jiao's usual ferocity and the eccentricity of the women's family. For a moment, they could not stand it. Dare to say something.

But just when these women and children were about to be led to the altar for bloodletting, they suddenly heard the faint sound of drums outside the city. The rumbling was frightening. Soon, even on the walled city, torches were lit and people were beating. The sound of gongs was endless, and everyone could only hear a loud continuous sound:

"It's not good, the food security army is coming to attack the city..."

"..."

Everyone's expression changed and they ran away one after another. Even the people from this girl's family were shocked.

There were many soldiers who helped them guard the women and children. They took the opportunity to let them go, shouting that they were going to meet the enemy, but they were told to run away quickly.

At this time, the grain-protecting army had also attacked the city. Arrows were flying like locusts, and the roar was like boiling. On the city wall, huge rocks and rolling wood fell down one after another, and the grain-protecting army also set up siege ladders. , the lower part raised the round siege log and hit the city gate with all its strength.

The grain-protecting army was strong and the attack became more fierce. However, in Huzhou City, there were figures running around everywhere. Some even took advantage of others' unpreparedness, took off their clothes and armor, and hid under the bed in the thatched hut.

Outside the city, I saw the food protection army approaching menacingly. Under the beating firelight, I could only see red lanterns raised one after another in the dark night. To the eyebrows.

Those Huzhou soldiers and horses who were guarding the city wall had received orders to defend to the death, but they also felt chills in their hearts.

But at this moment, in the capital city of Huzhou, a black flag with the word "dragon" was suddenly raised. A strong wind came from all directions, and then gathered into a tornado and blew straight into the sky.

"Crash!"

An unexpected heavy rain fell from the sky just as the food-protection army was charging into the city. The raindrops were as big as a fist and were carried by the violent wind and rain.

Countless soldiers and horses inside and outside the city were turned into drowned rats, especially the soldiers and horses of the grain-protection army who were attacking the city outside the city. In terms of the momentum of the military formation, it far surpassed that of Huzhou Fucheng, but one side attacked the city, the other defended the city, and faced the enemy. With this heavy rain, it becomes even more difficult.

“This rain is so weird!!”

In the food protection army, the military advisor Tiezuizi on the left and right sides of the military tent wiped the rainwater from their faces, stuck out the tip of their tongues to taste it, and sneered: "There is a fishy smell in the rain, it must be the old Jiao in that city." Casting a spell!"

Everyone around him was already worried: "With this heavy rain, it will be ten times more difficult to attack the city!"

Military Advisor Tiezuizi shouted: "They have a way to summon heavy rain, so don't we have anyone in our food protection army who can break this rain?"

Orders were issued one after another, and naturally there were people in the food protection army who had already seen the strangeness of the heavy rain, and were well prepared. As soon as the orders came, they immediately started to do something.

Some people wear coir raincoats and burn talismans to worship the sky. This is the art of praying for rain. It can use the power of ghosts and gods to reach the sky. It can not only bring rain but also drive it away.

Surprisingly, a wisp of green smoke floated straight into the night sky from the burned talisman. It seemed that God should have received it, but the rain did not stop. Instead, bigger raindrops fell one after another.

Some people gritted their teeth and ordered someone to pull a copper coffin onto the battlefield, lifted the lid of the coffin, and immediately smelled a rotten stench.

But inside he saw a corpse with dark bones and wet dry bones. Once this corpse appeared, it could spread across the ground thousands of miles away. According to the legend of the ancient war between gods, there are also rumors that the ancient Yellow Emperor used drought demons to control rains. It should be very accurate. .

But when the Dry Bone Corpse appeared, a dry wind blew, and the surrounding rain seemed to lighten a little, but the impact was really limited, and heavy rain continued to fall everywhere.

"no."

After pushing out the Dry Bone Demon, he could only grit his teeth: "This thing has been around for a long time, and it can make this red land thousands of miles away, but now I am too anxious, and I won't be able to stop the rain for a while."

…

…

"I don't believe this old dragon in the city claims to have practiced Taoism for a thousand years, but his magical power is quite powerful. His rain is not something ordinary people can cure."

On the low hill outside the city, Hu Ma was also reaching out to catch the rainwater. As he was thinking about it, he heard someone speaking. He turned around and saw Erguotou, wearing a blue cloth robe, slowly walking up the other side of the hill. .

Both of them were concerned about the first battle of the food security army out of Mingzhou, so they were both nearby.

It's just that in this opening battle, the two sides have different positions, so they don't go together. Hu Ma focuses on looking at the food protection army and the changes in destiny, while Erguotou needs to measure the terrain of each party and the bad and good positions at every place they go. In order to raise the altar.

"Each sect has its own abilities. Now I feel that classifying the world's magic into ten sects is actually a bit narrow-minded."

When Hu Ma saw him coming, she also smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, there are no ten ancestors, there are just ten families who can move faster in the art."

"This old dragon is not a good thing, but it is indeed an alien in this world. Its ability already has its own meaning. It's just that no one has traveled this road. It is purely based on speculation, so it goes "Slower."

"..."

"You understand it too?"

Erguotou nodded, turned to look at the rain, and said: "The laws of this world are completely different from what we saw in previous lives, but now we realize that they are not without traces."

"Everything in the heaven and earth, the two realms of yin and yang, have their own logical laws. It's just that the various changes in the original world return to the movement of heaven and earth."

"But people are too smart, and they will naturally see the loopholes in the operation of the world. When they find the loopholes, they will exploit the loopholes and get stuck. Step by step, they will even start to try to steal the power of the world."

"Oh, I also learned the skills in your book on New Year's Eve, and then I gradually understood this truth."

"..."

Hu Ma smiled and nodded: "Mr. Houerjiu is better."

"Earlier, he would always say something shocking, but it was proven to be correct. I was shocked, but couldn't understand it."

"Now I realize that we all study the method first, and then get a glimpse of the inner truth, but he first saw through the inner laws and essence, and then understood the method."

"The structure is different, the level is also different, and the speed of learning this skill is different."

"..."

Erguotou didn't look good after hearing this. Reincarnated people always have a subconscious sense of superiority in front of the aboriginal people, but Houerjiu always crushes the reincarnated people and the aboriginal people equally.

Therefore, the two have always been equal in his eyes.

He waved his hand and said, "Is there any way you can dispel this rain?"

"I'm staying up late!"

Hu Ma was a little helpless and thought about it: "I can blow a true sun arrow into the sky to disperse the clouds, but it's just too much of a loss, and it can't be driven away completely. It's like scooping water with a fist, and the gain is not worth the loss."

"Besides, even if I dispel it, the old dragon can easily attract rain again. I want to use seven points of my strength to drive away the clouds, but it only needs one point of strength to attract rain."

"..."

"Haha, let me do it then!"

When Erguotou heard this, he swung his sleeves, smiled, and raised his hand to hold up something, which was the Yin and Yang disk.

Hu Ma was curious: "What method did you use?"

Erguotou said: "The old Jiao's ability is to attract rain, then I just set up the altar and let his curse be intercepted in Huzhou City, wouldn't it be okay?"

Hearing this, even Hu Ma was a little surprised: "You..."

"Yes, I raised the altar and sealed the city."

Erguotou looked a little smug and said: "You and I, I can't even afford an altar smaller than a city!"

As he spoke, he held the tray in one hand and shook his sleeve with the other hand, shouting: "Get up!"

I can only see that he has already laid out a number of command flags near Huzhou City, and even behind the lakes and rivers. Because Huzhou City is so big, there is only one of these banners very far away.

But now as he casts the spell, these flags are ringing at the same time, creating invisible ripples. The next moment, the city of Huzhou Prefecture seems to be shaking slightly, as if a mist is shrouding this city. On the city.

At the same time when the fog began to gradually fill the city, the heavy rain in the sky suddenly seemed to be violent for a while, then gradually fell, and finally stopped.

Not only that, even the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, revealing the bright moon.

"Hurry, God is helping us, the rain has stopped, let's attack the city!"

In the food protection army, the generals shouted loudly, ordered their troops and horses, and quickly rushed towards the capital city of Huzhou.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

On the city wall of Huzhou Fucheng, the defenders were startled when they saw the rain stopped. They immediately ordered people to shoot arrows into the night regardless of the cost.

But now that Erguotou has taken action, how can he just drive away the rain? He held the Yin-Yang Two Scenery Plate in his hand, and with his other hand, he just waved it slightly, and a strong wind whistled in the air.

The endless rain of arrows fell on the grain-protecting army, but was met by the strong wind, and was immediately blown into pieces. Some were crooked and no one knew where they went. Even those that fell were already light and weak like straw.

At the same time, the second batch of siege teams of the grain-protecting army had arrived under the wall of Huzhou, and rolled up rope ladders were thrown under the wall.

Usually, cloud ladders are used for sieges, which need to be erected high and placed on the wall. The first batch of grain-protecting soldiers also did this. There would be people on the wall to obstruct them, which was not convenient.

But now, it was a rope ladder that was put down. In fact, even these soldiers and horses didn't know why they had to bring this. They only knew that it was ordered to be made by the general of the middle road, Shen Hongzhi, and it was said that it would be useful when the time came.

When the rope ladder was lowered, a surprising scene appeared. From a distance, Erguotou just raised his hand slightly, and saw the rope ladder suddenly flew up, as if it was lifted by an invisible big hand, one by one, and directly placed on the wall of Huzhou.

The soldiers of the grain protection army were overjoyed, and they climbed up the rope ladder and climbed towards the wall.

Erguotou on the hill, after using this method, was still not satisfied. He looked around and suddenly clenched his fist.

Boom!

At the gate, the grain protection army had lifted a huge siege wood, and used all their strength to hit the gate again and again, but it still didn't break.

But invisibly, it seemed that the siege wood suddenly became countless heavy, and with the last pounding forward, it smashed the gate into pieces in an instant, and the hole opened.

"Break the city!"

In the dark night, thousands of people suddenly shouted, indescribably surprised and excited.

"The army is coming, and the city will be broken in one day!"

In the army, the military advisor Tie Zui and the generals were surprised and happy when they heard the shout, and they beat their legs fiercely: "After this battle, why worry that the name of our grain protection army will not be feared by the world?"

Among the crowd, Yang Gong also wiped the rain off his face and showed a happy face.

"Good King Mingzhou, come and die!"

At the same time, the women in the city had no time to prepare for the sacrifice because the grain protection army attacked the city quickly and broke the city quickly. Before it started, most of the sacrifices had already run away.

But in a hurry, they also killed a lot of people. Although it was far from enough, they could not care about it. They could only close their eyes and chant the spell, and then they saw a blood light suddenly flying in the blood under the stage.

It disappeared in an instant and sank into the night.
