C1185 Good Formation!
C1185 Good Formation!
"Good! Good formation!"
The generals were a little worried at the beginning. After all, the light shield looked much weaker than before. However, the actual effect of the light shield had completely convinced them.
As expected of the Array Master that the old general treated as a distinguished guest. It was just a few tricks.
Old General Lian Po laughed even more loudly. He waved his hand and ordered, "Tell the lance soldiers to hit them hard!"
Beat them up!
Hit them hard!
Hit him hard! Fight!
Fight!
The orders were passed down layer by layer. The soldiers guarding the city were prepared. When they saw the light shield of the city protection formation being so sharp, their morale was immediately boosted. One by one, they lifted up the rolling wood and stones beside them and threw them at the bottom of the city.
Countless rocks with sharp edges and thick wooden stakes were thrown down by the soldiers on the city gate. The rocks hit the heads of the barbarians, and the thick skin of the barbarians was smashed into pieces. Their heads were smashed into pieces, and their limbs were twisted.
The city wall of Pingling Pass was really too high. Therefore, even if it was just an ordinary rolling wood rock, the impact of it smashing down from the city wall was more than that of an ordinary Soul Cultivator.
The barbarian's body was strong, comparable to that of a wild beast. However, under the impact of the rolling wood rock falling from such a high place, a pile of corpses was quickly left behind under the city wall.
The Barbarian Army, which had been rushing over like a tidal wave, was reducing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Meanwhile, the corpses under the city wall were rising rapidly.
As more and more corpses were gathered, the soldiers on the city wall began to throw fire cans down.
These flasks not only contained fierce flamethrowers, but also some scraps of Soul Stone. When the flamethrowers hit the piles of corpses, the flamethrowers quickly began to flow down and drill in. Soon, they were soaked by the flamethrowers from inside to outside.
After that, over a hundred fire torches were thrown down from the city wall.
Huuu ~ ~
Huge flames rose up, instantly swallowing up the pile of corpses that had already accumulated to a height of three meters.
At the foot of the Pingling Pass's city wall, it turned into a sea of fire.
The corpses of the barbarians were burning to their heart's content. The fierce fire oil was only a fuel. The real thing that made the flame stronger and stronger was the corpses of the barbarians.
The corpse contained a large amount of fat, which was the best burning material.
The sea of fire under the city wall had also stopped the barbarian's attack.
The barbarians were not afraid of death, but the elders of Barbarian Army were not fools.
The reason why they had recklessly urged the barbarians to charge forward and not fear death was because charging could bring them results. There was the attack of a formation, and the roar of a huge military dragon. There was also the overflow of the moat, but as long as these things were able to pass through... They would be able to reach the bottom of the city gate. Only by reaching the bottom of the city gate would they be able to do so. Only then would there be the possibility of reaching the city pass.
However, when the fire started at the city gate, the elders knew that it was not something that could be broken through with just a name. If he really used a person's life to fill in the fire, it might even make the fire even fiercer.
Therefore, the Barbarian Army finally retreated after a series of ear-piercing screeches were heard from behind the barbarians.
After successfully repelling the barbarians' attack, the soldiers who were guarding the city immediately cheered and fell to the ground, exhausted.
In fact, they didn't do any killing, but the pressure in their hearts made them feel mentally exhausted. Therefore, when the barbarians retreated, their spirits were instantly relaxed. They felt dizzy. They felt so relaxed that they wanted to lie on the ground.
The soldiers could relax. They could also feel lucky that they had won the battle for the time being. However, the generals could not. They had to light up the supplies. They comforted the soldiers, observed the results of the battle, and speculated on the next step of the barbarians. They were ready to wait for the next battle.
Ye Bufan was not a general, but he did not relax at all. Instead, he quietly observed the corpse left behind by the Barbarian Army outside the city.
The place with the most casualties was under the city wall of Pingling Pass. The corpses were piled up in a messy manner, and they were about three meters thick. The width was more than 30 meters, and just this corpse belt alone... It was hard to tell how many barbarians had died in this place.
Moreover, this corpse belt had already turned into a sea of fire. It was impossible to count the number of people who had died in this place.
However, even if one didn't count the corpses that had been burned by the fire under the city wall, there were at least several tens of thousands of barbarians who had died before they could reach the city wall.
And, the number of people who had been washed away by the river wasn't counted among them.
Judging from the rough looks of it, the Barbarian Army's attack this time should have left at least a hundred thousand lives behind!
Ye Bufan's face couldn't help but turn green.
If this was the case for every charge of the barbarians, then no matter how brilliant his formation was and how powerful the defending soldiers were, the Pingling Pass would not be able to take it no matter how flawless the command of the generals was.
The barbarians were humans as well. Every single one of them had a soul. If they had a soul, they would naturally have soul power.
With so many dead people, they would certainly gather a large number of resentful souls here, as well as a large amount of soul power that wouldn't dissipate in time.
Blood Bone Mountain was a similar place. After that, it gradually settled down and gathered together, and eventually formed such a dangerous place.
If Pingling Pass continued to fight like this, a hundred years later, this place would become a similar place to Blood Bone Mountain.
This was not what Ye Bufan was worried about. What he was more worried about was that the resentful souls and soul power here would be used by others.
Logically speaking, the resentful souls and soul power on the tragic battlefield were full of violence. It was very difficult to use them. However, the barbarians were a strange race to begin with. If they really had some special ability to utilize these resentful souls and soul power... Then, what kind of enormous power would that be? Perhaps, it could directly break the Pingling Pass from the front.
Therefore, when Ye Bufan saw over a hundred thousand barbarians dying on this narrow battlefield, he became even more worried.
During the era of the Soul Cultivator's great development, all kinds of psychic powers had emerged. The barbarians also practiced psychic powers. However, the system of their cultivation was very different from that of humans.
However, no matter how the cultivation method changed, the psychic power was the psychic power. It could be the elements, or the five elements. Naturally, it could be death, killing intent, or something else.
One could not exclude the fact that there was no psychic power that was especially suitable for the current environment among the barbarians. One could not rule out the possibility that such a tragic scene had been deliberately created.
It was precisely because of this suspicion that Ye Bufan didn't dare to relax even though he saw the Barbarian Army leaving and temporarily leaving the vicinity of Pingling Pass. Instead, he became even more nervous and vigilant.
The impact of the Barbarian Army had exceeded his expectations. This had caused a bad phenomenon. It was the formation that he had set up. Many of them had lost their effectiveness. It was his first time setting up such a formation, and it was inevitable that he would make a mistake. However, most of the damage was caused by the consumption of the Soul Stone in the formation's eye.
At this moment, Ye Bufan could no longer remain invisible and lie to himself.
He had just controlled the formation to attack the Barbarian Army, and it had resulted in a shocking result. It would be strange if the generals on the tower didn't know that he had sneaked out.
Since someone had already guessed it, there was no point in hiding anymore.
In order to not be discovered, Ye Bufan would not be so selfish if he took the risk of the formation losing its effectiveness and continued to hide.
Walking to the foot of a wall that no one was paying attention to, Ye Bufan shook his body and canceled the effect of hiding. He walked out swaggeringly and walked towards the tower.
His appearance immediately attracted attention. Most of the soldiers on the city wall knew him, mainly because he had to patrol the city gate every day to set up the formation and improve the formation, so many soldiers knew him.
Therefore, he was not stopped. He walked all the way to the city gate.
As soon as he appeared on the city gates, he was noticed by the generals. They had long known that Ye Bufan had sneaked out. Each and every one of them looked at him with a strange expression. They looked like they wanted to laugh but held it in. It was really strange.
Old General Lian Po was standing next to the map and looking at the terrain. He already knew that Ye Bufan was here. He didn't look up, nor did he say anything. He didn't look at anyone. He just stared at the map, not knowing what was going on.
Ye Bufan understood at first glance that the old general was putting on a show for him. It was obvious that he wasn't satisfied with him sneaking out.
Alright.
Ye Bufan felt that he had done the right thing, but he did not follow the rules. And to follow the rules was the highest rule in the army.
Regardless of whether it was wrong or not, it was wrong to not follow the rules.
Therefore, Ye Bufan willingly bowed to the old general and said, "Old General, I should not have sneaked out myself. Please punish me."
"Hmph." The old general only snorted and did not speak.
Ye Bufan did not understand either. Was the old general expressing his anger, or was he implying something else? He could only lower his head and stand in front of the sand table, waiting for the old general to say something else.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Old General Lian Po slowly raised his head. He stared at Ye Bufan and said, "Of course you are wrong. Why didn't you tell me that the formation you set up was so powerful? If I had known that your formation was so effective, how many barbarians would I have had in this battle? Do you think you are wrong? "
"I was wrong! Old General, please punish me!" Ye Bufan answered very loudly. However, there was no disappointment in his tone. Instead, there was happiness in his voice.
It was because the old General's answer surprised him.
He originally thought that he had disobeyed the old general's order and knocked out two soldiers who were guarding him. He secretly ran to the city wall and participated in the battle without permission. The old general, who valued military discipline, fiercely reprimanded him and then gave him some punishment.
He didn't expect the old general to say such a thing when he opened his mouth.
The meaning behind those words was that he did not care about the matter of him running away on his own. Instead, he blamed him for not informing him of the power of the formation beforehand. It was obvious that he was prepared to let him off.
Ye Bufan was not a fool. Of course, he would just give up. He felt that the old general would give him a light punishment. This matter should be over just like that.
