Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1208 - 1205_1
Chapter 1208: Chapter 1205_1
A killing formation? Upon hearing this, Shangguang Xuanyi saw the situation below and his expression became even colder.
He always knew that General Liang from Nangong Country could be a capable general, but he never expected him to think of using the long-lost killing formation!
Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the formation below, thinking of a solution.
"This killing formation is even more powerful than what we’ve read in the ancient books!" Shangguan Xuanyi could see the problem at a glance!
Xiao’er nodded her head, neither of them spoke for a while, both were thinking of a solution!
All of a sudden, hundreds of arrows were shot from all directions towards Di Shaowei.
This is the key to this formation, the enemy army is hiding many soldiers with sleeve arrows! With the formation, they can lock on a direction and release thousands of arrows at once! Arrows are easy to avoid, but hidden arrows are hard to defend against!
Now they are aiming at Di Shaowei’s location! If they can shoot and kill the most important general at once!
If the general is killed, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be greatly reduced! With the commander killed, this battle can be considered half-won!
Seeing arrows flying from all directions towards Di Shaowei, Shangguan Xuanyi pulled up the war flag and flashed over, waving the arrow flag in the air, knocking down more than half of the arrows in the rain of arrows.
This way, Di Shaowei can deal with the soldiers attacking him while dealing with the arrows flying at him!
Of course, it is inevitable to be grazed by stray arrows!
Xiao’er looked down to see the soldiers of Nangong Country become more aggressive, killing the enemy faster and faster.
She frowned again.
General Liang stood at a high point watching the situation below, he couldn’t help but reveal a smile!
This ancient, lost killing formation is indeed amazing!
Even if Shangguan Xuanyi blocked a round of arrow rain, he can only save one, and not another!
General Liang set his gaze on Shangguan Xuanjun, and then waved the yellow command flag in his hand again.
Xiao’er saw General Liang’s movement and also saw his gaze fall on Shangguan Xuanjun!
Then she looked at the positioning of the soldiers on the battlefield!
She found it!
"Brother Shangguan, six o’clock position!"
"Zhao Yong, twelve o’clock position!"
"Yang Liu, nine o’clock position!"
"Yang Mei, three o’clock position!"
"Everyone, hold your positions!" After Xiao’er finished speaking, she landed at a certain position in the battlefield to serve as a reference.
General Liang heard Xiao’er’s words and was surprised. Six o’clock position, twelve o’clock position, nine o’clock position, and three o’clock position?
What are these positions? Why hasn’t he heard of them before?
Upon hearing Xiao’er’s words, Shangguan Xuanyi and the others quickly used their Qinggong to land at the corresponding positions she indicated.
Once they were in position, they began to kill enemies.
Being highly skilled in martial arts, these four are no match for ordinary soldiers.
In a short time, they killed a large number of soldiers from Nangong Country in the vicinity!
After General Liang gave the order to shoot at Shangguan Xuanjun, the soldiers of Nangong Country began to move their positions.
But just as they were getting close to their target and hadn’t even had the chance to shoot their sleeve arrows, they were killed!
This meant that the arrows that should have been a dense rain of arrows shooting at Shangguan Xuanjun from all directions were now only a few dozen scattered arrows, which could not be described as a rain of arrows at all!
Xiao’er whipped her whip, wrapping up several sharp arrows.
Shangguan Xuanjun made a sweeping motion with his sword, forcing the enemy soldiers around him to retreat, and then swiftly dropped all the sharp arrows that were shot at him with his sword!
Seeing this, General Liang was quite surprised. They actually managed to break his arrow rain that easily!
He glanced at the slightly petite figure on the battlefield. Who was that? She actually saw the key to his formation all at once!
Impossible! The killing formation had already been lost to time; the current version was derived from more than a decade of research, and its power far surpasses that of the original one!
This formation is highly flexible, it can adapt to any changes!
Because of the presence of this formation method, the emperor had more confidence in unifying the world!
And now, it’s barely been deployed and yet, someone has already seen through it? This... is impossible!
It must be a coincidence!
Although he had managed to study and understand this formation, he hadn’t yet figured out how to break it!
The enemy army discerned his formation in the battlefield and within a quarter of an hour, they found a way to break it?
General Liang found this hard to believe!
General Liang quickly waved the blue command flag in his hand.
Xiao’er, while slaying the enemy on the battlefield and keeping an eye on General Liang, noticed his command flag moving and couldn’t help but reveal a cold smirk: Let’s see whether his soldiers move faster or her people!
Xiao’er leaped up, hovering in mid-air for a few seconds, after observing the situation below, she swiftly made a decision.
Shangguan Xuanyi had also figured out the heart of the formation!
Seeing General Liang’s movements, almost simultaneously to Xiao’er, he leapt into the air, observing the enemy’s movement on the ground. Without any instruction from Xiao’er, upon landing, he instinctively flew to a critical position.
"Zhao Yong, one o’clock position, Yang Liu....." Xiao’er was arranging the positioning for Zhao Yong and the others while landing herself in a certain spot on the battlefield as their reference point.
The teamwork was even better this time!
They quickly landed in their respective spots and killed several soldiers before they could stabilize themselves!
The enemy’s cold arrows, all ten of them, were not enough this time!
General Liang was stunned!
They had really seen through his formation!
He couldn’t believe it!
He waved the two command flags of different colors in both hands simultaneously.
Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi once again leapt into the air simultaneously.
They glanced at the enemy’s movements.
Then, they landed in different spots and gave their commands.
Xiao’er: "Zhao Yong...."
Shangguan Xuanyi named four people: "Di Chao, five o’clock position, Feng Ting...., Jiang Feng..., Feng Jie...."
These men were the competent vice generals under Di Shaowei and Shangguan Xuanjun.
With the experience of the previous two instances, General Liang had started to see a pattern!
Now, seeing them accurately land in the key positions to break the formation, he couldn’t help but wonder if these people were not generals but gods!
This was something that mere humans could not accomplish!
In the blink of an eye, they had observed the soldiers’ movements and made the correct decisions!
Can a human really do such things? Or is it something only a god can do!
Could they be mind-readers, reading his thoughts, hence why they are making such accurate decisions!
However, regardless, the battle still had to proceed. They were only two people whereas the killing formation was named so due to its high flexibility!
It can vary indefinitely!
He didn’t believe that their four eyes could truly oversee the entire field!
Humans are not gods, there are always things they can’t do!
After General Liang had done waving the differently colored flags, he took out two other differently colored flags and waved them a few times.
At the end, he also waved a black command flag a few times!
