Chapter 49 The Death Gaze of the One-legged Bronze Man

The spring is chilly and the warmth is still cold. On the east side of Rushui, the King of Daozhu, who had finished warming up, was wearing a peach wood sword in his hand, stepped on the seven stars, walked on Tiangang, and wore a cloak made of chicken feathers, climbed to the altar to prepare for the preparation.

The guardians followed closely behind, for "eating dates and chickens" and "pills and eggs".

When eating date chicken, it is dressed by a person wearing a chicken-shaped suit, and the pills and eggs are dressed by a person wearing an egg-shaped suit. The names of the left and right guardians are put together to take date pills (it will be finished sooner or later).

Under the altar, a large group of soldiers surrounded him, each stretched his neck and looked at the altar motionlessly. Zhang Dinghe was one of them.

He and his fellow comrades both heard that the King Taoist priest had great magic. When the enemy besieged Xuanhu, the King Taoist priest went to the altar several times to make a spell and used incredible magic to repel the enemy.

Now, Master Wang must use his supreme magical powers with the assistance of "eating date chicken" and "pills and eggs" to make the enemy troops from several miles away collapse without fighting, and "it will be finished sooner or later."

Zi said that he was so powerful that he was confused. Zhang Dinghe, who had read books, did not believe that he could defeat the enemy by casting spells on the battlefield, but he had to believe that it was because the King of Xiyang arranged for the King of Taoism to do it.

If the King of Xiyang said this, it must be true.

Zhang Dinghe thought so, the soldiers of the Hulin Army thought so, and the other friendly forces thought so. Everyone surrounded the altar and waited to watch the "big show".

Since the enemy withdrew the siege, all the Hulin Army stationed in Xuanhu City and met with the commander Xiyang King. The reinforcements from Shannan strengthened Xuanhu's garrison.

The enemy retreated and camped outside Shaoling City, more than a hundred miles north of Xuanhu. The camp of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses could not see at first sight, which was very spectacular. The King of Xiyang then led his troops north and camped several miles south of Shaoling.

With more than 10,000 troops, he "watched" more than 10,000 enemy troops.

Such onlookers made the Hulin Army soldiers excited and waited for the enemy to attack. Then they joined forces with reinforcements from Xuanhu to have a grand final battle.

As a result, no matter how provoked them, the enemy would not go to fight. They would rather stay in the camp outside Shaoling than take the initiative. In this way, their situation would be very embarrassing: there was such a large army standing in Shaoling, and the Shannan army, which was based on Xuanhu, could not use troops elsewhere.

Faced with this deadlock, King Xiyang gave a solution, that is, to ask Taoist Master Wang to do something and let Shao Ling's enemy be destroyed.

This kind of thing is too incredible, so the soldiers surrounded the altar early this morning, waiting to see how Taoist priest Wang casts spells to defeat the enemy. At this time, many people were whispering.

Zhang Dinghe also talked with his comrades and decided to take a closer look at how magical the Taoist Wang's spell was today. At this moment, a gong suddenly sounded, and someone shouted with a paper loudspeaker: "Yeye, quiet, ready to start... ready to start!"

This felt a little familiar. Zhang Dinghe remembered the scene of watching a shadow puppetry in Changlefang. When the shadow puppetry was about to begin, there was a gong sound, and then the report shouted, "Ying, Yin Jing, ready to start!"

The military discipline of the Hulin Army is very strict. Since the superiors spoke quietly, everyone immediately stopped talking, and the other friendly troops stopped talking, and the scene became quiet in an instant.

The gong and drum team under the altar began to play music, and the king of Taoists on the altar danced with peach wood sword, and his body began to twist. The guardians on the left and right "eat dates and chickens", and the "pills and eggs" immediately followed him and danced with him, looking very funny.

Among the onlookers, someone burst out laughing and quickly covered his mouth. However, the actions of the two guardians on the altar were too funny, which made many onlookers laugh.

The wheat iron stick with long hands and feet is very tall and is a little conspicuous in the crowd. The injuries he suffered in the Battle of Chai Village were healed. At this moment, he looked at the altar, covered his mouth with his hands, and tried his best to hold back his laughter. He could hardly bear it.

His shoulders were shaking and humming. A circle of soldiers next to him was infected and began to cover his mouth. The three danced on the altar... The movements became more and more exaggerated, and more and more soldiers were laughing at the altar.

At this moment, the "pill egg" twisting her body suddenly tripped her left and right foot, tripping herself. Because her body was round, she rolled down the altar along the steps.

"Eating Date Chicken" saw this and came to help him. After taking two steps, he fell off the steps and rolled down.

"Hahahahahahaha!!!"

The audience burst into laughter, and many soldiers were amused by the funny performances of the two guardians, laughing so hard that they burst into tears. Some even covered their stomachs and bent their waists with laughter.

"Ahem cough cough..."

Chen Fozhi, who was watching the practice, coughed violently. He happened to be drinking water and was choked by the sudden laughter. Feng Xuan and Ning Changzhen were not much better.

The three of them led their clan soldiers to help the battle and received "special training" in Guangcheng. They failed to catch up with the Battle of Chai Village. This time, as reinforcements entered Xuanhu, they met the King of Xiyang, and were shocked by the siege fortifications outside Xuanhu City.

The exaggerated long encirclements, trenches, a large number of siege equipment left by the enemy, and the Xuanhu City, which is full of holes but is still under strict vigilance, all show how tragic the offensive and defensive battle that lasted for several months was.

Without reinforcements, Chen Fozhi and others asked themselves that they would never be able to do it, but the King of Xiyang did it, and they couldn't help but become more and more awe of the King of Xiyang.

Now, watching this funny ritual, Chen Fozhi, Feng Xuan, and Ning Changzhen were a little surprised. They really couldn't figure out how the King of Xiyang would use this to defeat the enemy?

"Envoy Chen, Feng Ming's Mansion, Ning Langjun." Yuwen Shiwu, who was standing beside him, said, attracting the attention of the three of them. "You have watched shadow puppets in Xiyang, how do you feel?"

The three of them answered at the same time: "Yuwen Sima, the shadow play is indeed wonderful."

"The play is like life. I promise that the next battle will be more exciting. Please wait and see."

Yuwen Shiwu kept a secret. Although he didn't know how the Langzhu planned to defeat the enemy, since the Langzhu said he could, he believed that he could. Chen Fozhi, Feng Xuan, and Ning Changzhen didn't know what to say about this, so he could only continue to watch this funny ritual.

Looking at the three funny figures on the altar, a thought flashed through their minds: To be honest, it's really funny...

On the altar, "eating date chicken" and "pill eggs" were "returned to their positions" again, dancing hard, while the sweaty Taoist Wang waved his peach wood sword and danced various strange movements with the help of props such as talisman paper and copper bells.

The three of them worked so hard that they were funny, which made the onlookers laugh. Yu Wenwen, who was in the camp, stopped to listen for a while and continued to move forward.

The camp is located on a high ground on the east side of the Rushui River. Yuwen Wen came to the west side of the river, surrounded by guards and walked out of the camp to the riverside, looking at the turbid river water emitting a stinky smell under his feet, and looking at the large and small feces floating on the river surface.

Is this human or horse manure?

For Yuwen Wen, it doesn’t matter, anyway, the river water cannot be drunk.

He led his troops to camp several miles away from Shaolingnan, "watching" more than 100,000 enemy troops. His original intention was to use bait to lead the opponent to fight, but the opponent's magical power was achieved and he would never get along with the hook.

Yuwen Wen ordered people to block the river and build a dam, trying to reproduce the previous battle example of returning water to irrigate Shaoling. However, it is still dry season, and the flow of Ru water is not large, so it takes a long time to store water, and it is easy to be discovered by the other party.

The enemy troops above Ru River immediately blocked the river and built dams to reduce the water volume downstream, and at the same time acted as if they wanted to conquer the downstream, and then did the opposite.

Yuwen Wen often used water to attack, so he also prevented others from attacking with water. His camp was chosen at a high place, and he was not afraid of storing water upstream to launch water attacks, but his idea of ​​forcing the opponent to fight to the decisive battle by blocking rivers and building dams was also unsuccessful.

Not only that, the other party also concentrated the feces in the camp under its dam to pollute the Ru water, making the Yuwen Wen army, who was in the downstream, unable to drink the clean river water.

In response, Yuwen Wen took measures to dig a well to get water. In order to avoid the well water being contaminated by river water, he also used a "portable hot water boiler" to boil the water and then gave it to the soldiers to drink. No one was allowed to drink raw water.

The devil is one foot taller and the Tao is one foot taller. Yuwen Wen is in a deadlock here to fight wits and courage with the enemy. Of course, he does not want to be delayed by the other party, so he came up with a plan to break the enemy.

Zhang Yu, who was standing beside him, looked at his pocket watch and reminded the Lord that time was coming soon. Yuwen Wen walked back when he heard this. He had just returned to the camp area, but he saw movement near the place where the altar was located in the north of the camp.

Because the internal air was heated, a huge cloth bag slowly rose, tied up by ropes, and stood on the flat ground. However, this was not a hot air balloon, but a huge portrait of a human.

The portrait of the man on Easter Island was learned by Yu Wen Wen. He ordered people to make a huge man with a cloth bag, then make a fire to heat the internal air, make it bulge, and then use bamboo to support it and shape it, and then appear in the north of the Daying.

The person's avatar has a pair of "eyes like torch" eyes, and a pair of black glasses... Well, this is just an idea and has not been implemented, so there is no glasses.

The image faces north and stares at the continuous enemy camp outside Shaoling in the north. Because of its huge size, the enemy soldiers in the enemy camp want to see this scene clearly.
