Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 281

Di Qing did not disappoint Qian Yuan.

On June 25, after Di Qing strategically abandoned Wu County, Duan Kui, the commander of the Quicksand Army, fell into the trick and led the Central Route Army to approach Chaisang City.

Everything was according to plan, but it was a pity that Wu County was the bait.

Fortunately, Wu County was originally the land of the Quicksand Kingdom. After the Quicksand Army broke through the city, they did not wreak havoc in the city. They just took revenge on some big businessmen who were doing business there.

This is already the minimum cost.

In order to take Chaisang City in one go, Duan Kui urgently mobilized some troops from the left and right wings, making the latter less than 1 troops.

Finally, [-] elites were collected for the Central Route Army.

On the Kongsang County battlefield, in addition to the main battlefield, Chaisang Mansion, Bingshan Mansion and Xionger Mansion are also in a confrontation, and the Southern Border Protectorate Mansion has a division of troops stationed in each of the two mansions.

After being transferred, the left and right wings of the Quicksand Army absolutely did not dare to attack the city.

Depending on the situation, Duan Kui is going to put all his eggs in one basket and initiate a decisive battle with the Southwest Corps.

Duan Kui also had reasons for doing so.

As the King of Chu army slumped under the city of Nanyu, the offensive of the Allied forces was frustrated. As the organizer of this big encirclement and suppression battle, the Quicksand Army had to carry the banner of the Allied offensive.

Even if Di Qing does not withdraw, Duan Kui is ready to launch a big battle in the near future.

When the entire war situation is at a stalemate, the Quicksand Army has the obligation to stand up and open the situation for the Allied forces with more fearless courage and greater sacrifice.

On the other hand, this war that lasted for more than a month also put a huge load on the logistics of the Quicksand Kingdom.

In order to gather food and supplies for the frontline troops, Prime Minister Merici, who was sitting in the rear, had to go door-to-door to search for the rice in the rice jars of the common people.

Except for food, herbs, arrows, weapons and equipment, etc., everything is lacking.

This battle almost emptied the Quicksand Country.

Supporting [-] troops with a single county is a tightrope walk, and one bad one may collapse.

Therefore, the quicksand army could not wait any longer.

Duan Kui must make a breakthrough on the battlefield before the kingdom's war potential is exhausted.Therefore, knowing that the enemy's withdrawal was abnormal this time, he still chose to attack.

Not attacking, sooner or later is a dead word.

As everyone knows, Guo Jia, who is far away in Nanyu City, has also calculated exactly this point, so he took the initiative to suggest that Qian Yuan launch a decisive counterattack at this time.

At the beginning of the war, if Di Qing withdrew his troops like this, Duan Kui would definitely be suspicious, and might not dare to press the whole line.

…………

The next day,

The Quicksand Army, which had rested for half a day, couldn't wait to start attacking the city.

At this time, only the Third Division of the Southwest Corps led by Di Qing was stationed in Chaisang City. Because of this, Duan Kui, who commanded [-] elite soldiers, had the confidence to break through the city.

The battle on the first day was very hard, with both sides coming and going, causing casualties to each other.

But this is just a warmup.

The next day, Qian Yuan in military uniform appeared at the head of Chaisang City.

Looking at the dark quicksand army outside the city, Qian Yuan was expressionless. When the quicksand army launched a fierce attack on the city again, he said lightly: "Notice, set up the formation!"

"promise!"

Slightly tilted, the five great monks of the soul stage and the twelve monks of the entraining stage in the city rose into the sky one by one, holding the sacrificed XingXiu flag.

In an instant, it appeared above the clouds of the quicksand army phalanx outside the city.

The 17 people stood one by one according to the positions of the small Zhoutian twelve constellation formation, and stood in the air like that, pinching the magic formula with their hands, and sacrificed the constellation flags in their hands one by one.

It's strange to say that the pitch-black XingXiu flag, which was inconspicuous before, rose in the wind after being sacrificed, and instantly turned into a curtain hanging from the sky.

On the originally empty banner, mysterious star maps suddenly appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the Xingxiu flag wrapped up their respective "masters", and their real bodies could no longer be seen from the outside. Unless they broke through the formation, they would not be able to hurt them at all.

This is also a common self-protection method of powerful formations. Otherwise, the enemy will destroy them from the outside before the formation is in operation. What is it called a strange formation?

The beauty of the formation is all-encompassing.

Almost at the same time, the people below saw the vision of the sky.

I saw that the sun, which was still extremely hot just now, suddenly dimmed, and above the high sky during the day, a little starlight suddenly appeared, and it became brighter and brighter.

Then, the starlight was connected together by silver-white lines, forming a vast and boundless star map, covering one area of ​​the world.

"what is that?"

Duan Kui below instinctively felt a little uneasy, and turned his head to ask the monk standing beside him, who was also a great monk in the spirit stage, and was specially arranged by the Quicksand King to protect Duan Kui.

"It seems to be mana fluctuations, someone is doing it at high altitude." The monk replied.

"what the hell."

Duan Kui was even more puzzled. In a war of this scale, how effective a monk could be, even if you could kill 100, 200, or even 1000 people.

It can't change the situation of the battle.

Not only that, but under the tactics of the pack of wolves, it is very likely that they will end up dead.

"Be careful, don't follow the opponent's way." Duan Kui ordered secretly, he was worried that the enemy would implement beheading tactics, and at this time, there should be no mistakes.

"Do not worry."

The arrogance of a great cultivator in the spirit stage is the same everywhere.

While speaking, there was a new change in the high sky, but he saw a whirlwind of aura suddenly blowing around, and then he saw the aura of heaven and earth with a radius of hundreds of miles rushing towards the star chart frantically.

Throughout the sky, the aura was churning like a sea of ​​clouds.

Spectacular.

Not only that, even the light of the sun seemed to be pulled into the star map, and the sky became darker and darker.

If a senior monk perceives it carefully, he will also find that even the real stars in the sky are being pulled and moved, casting bright or bright starlight.

With the crazily influx of heaven and earth spiritual energy, the vast star map is getting brighter and brighter, and every star is dazzling, as if to compete with the sun for brilliance.

At this moment, even the master cultivator of the soul stage beside Duan Kui changed color.

"Why don't you go up and have a look?" Duan Kui asked tentatively.

"Let's just wait and see what happens, and be careful of the enemy pulling the tiger away from the mountain." The monk of the soul stage twitched his face, obviously not wanting to put himself in danger.

Who knows what happened aloft.

Such spiritual energy fluctuations made even him feel heart palpitations.

It's too late, it's too soon.

The entire activation time of the Xiao Zhoutian Twelve Constellation Array was less than 10 minutes before and after. When Duan Kui was still hesitating whether to temporarily stop the siege, disaster suddenly struck.

I saw that vast star map suddenly turned into motion, vivid, like a galaxy in the sky.

Then I saw that beams of bright starlight shot down from the star map, and the target was the quicksand army phalanx on the ground.

The beams of starlight, either as thin as a hair or as thick as a bucket, flew down like swords of heaven and earth at an incomparable speed.

A radius of several kilometers is shrouded in this starlight.

"not good!"

The great cultivator at the spirit stage was the first to react, and sacrificed his natal magic weapon, forming a blue protective shield to protect him and Duan Kui.

Almost at the same time, the starlight fell to the ground.

What kind of starlight is that? It is the Cui Mingfu, which kills without blinking an eye. The seemingly harmless starlight is actually extremely sharp and indestructible.

No matter what it is, as long as it is shot by the starlight, it will be completely penetrated.

Because the starlight is too dense, and the quicksand army phalanx is also extremely dense. In less than a minute, six or seven thousand soldiers died on the spot.

They didn't even have a chance to scream.

Nuo Da's battlefield instantly turned into a huge slaughterhouse, and no one was spared.

Even the great cultivator of the Soul Stage, who was the only one who survived under the cover of the formation, vomited blood from the starlight attack.

And Duan Kui, who was protected by him, also failed to escape the fate of death.

Until his death, Duan Kui didn't know what happened.

Then, the starlight dispersed, the star map disappeared, the vision of heaven and earth disappeared, and even the sun returned to its original state, continuing to scorch the earth.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Except for those densely packed corpses left on the ground.

The whole formation absorbed an unknown amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to trigger such an attack, which lasted less than half a minute.

But it was this short half a minute that completely changed the direction of a battle.

quiet,
the whole battlefield,

In and out of the city,

It was so quiet that you could even hear a needle drop on the ground.

Whether it is the soldiers of the Quicksand Army who are lucky enough to stand outside the attack range of the formation, or the soldiers of the Quicksand Army who are attacking the city, or even the soldiers of the Southwest Corps defending the city.

Faced with such appalling powers of heaven and earth that were completely beyond their comprehension, they were all stunned.

In the face of such transcendent power, human beings seem so small for the first time.

Like ants.

This kind of shock and shock is indescribable without being present at the scene.

Destined to be unforgettable forever.

It is conceivable that the scene of an atomic bomb exploding in the city, the current scene will only be more shocking than that.

In that instant, it became the boundary between life and death.

There was a spectacle in the quicksand army phalanx. The phalanx with no end in sight at a glance drew a huge circle with the location of the coach Duan Kui as the center.

The outside of the circle is as usual, but the inside has become dust
Qian Yuan, who was standing at the top of the city, was also shocked by the scene in front of him, but he was prepared in his heart. He was the first to wake up, raised his right hand, and waved forward slowly and powerfully.

This is a signal that couldn't be more obvious.

Di Qing, who was by Qianyuan's side, was the first to react, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drums, the whole army will attack!" This was the perfect opportunity to fight back.

What they are facing will be a group of dumb chickens who have not yet reacted.

The soldiers of the quicksand army who survived by luck, I am afraid that all their minds and courage have been taken away by this power of heaven and earth, how can they fight? !
Boom, boom, boom.
The sound of heavy war drums rang at the top of the city, followed by the opening of the city gate. Di Qing, who had already left the city at some point, rode on a dragon horse, led the third division in person, and blew the horn of war.

And this horn is more like the death knell of the Quicksand Kingdom.
