When these young practitioners gradually became silent but were in a state of peace, in a village behind the hill, which was not far away from them, a man in black was also quietly watching the disappearing mountain.

The man had long black hair, his long hair was longer than that of ordinary women, until he was under his waist, but he did not tie it with anything.

His long disguised hair also covered his face a lot, but he was still covered with a black scarf, leaving only a pair of eyes shining in the dark night.

He looked at the hill quietly, motionless, as if he was integrated with the entire night.

After most formation masters have arranged magic circles, they want to appreciate their masterpieces, even him is no exception.

When the hill gradually returned to calm and the wet water vapor drifted with the gentle night wind, he was finally sure that when the power of the magic circle burst out, there was no more riotous energy of heaven and earth.

Any practitioner will struggle beyond his limit when he is on the verge of death. If these Southern Dynasties practitioners who are tracked by war horses fall into his magic circle, many chaotic energy will burst out when they die. But now there is not. This only means that even though his magic circle is arranged in his opinion, it is a rare masterpiece in recent years, it still has no effect. It is like a punch that accumulates strength and still hits the space.

Being able to escape from the power of this magic array in time only means that there is also a powerful formation master among this group of practitioners. Only the formation master can detect clues and notice the signs of the power of the magic array in advance.

Although he did not think that the other party's formation master could have a deeper attainment than himself, having such a formation master would always be a big trouble for him.

He turned around silently, walked through this uninhabited village, through a woodland, and reached a depression formed by a dry riverbed. His long hair did not move at all in the breeze, and looked extremely strange.

"General!"

In this depression, there was a carriage and several cavalry waiting for him. When he saw his figure appear, the soldiers bowed very respectfully.

The man in black entered the carriage without saying a word.

The hooves of these war horses were covered with nothing, and there was no sound when walking. Even the carriage where he was always flowing with a faint fluorescence, and there was no sound of the wheels rolling over the stones.

The man in black in the car closed his eyes and soon fell into a real deep sleep.

Unlike the border troops of the Southern Dynasty, he led his troops deep into the Southern Dynasty and needed to be the kind of person who was determined at many moments. He needed to pay enough attention to opponents who might hinder his strategic goals.

The return of Jiange to the Tie Ce Army was not just a major event in the Southern Dynasties' world of practitioners. For such a Southern Dynasties army with many practitioners, what he thought was different from that of ordinary generals.

He could try to kill some of the practitioners, but he would never first divide his superior forces into trying to destroy this iron army, just like most generals.

In his opinion, the best way is to leave this iron army out of the battlefield and prevent this iron army from participating in the battle before he completes a critical battle.

The same is true for this batch of weapons that may be somewhat threatening.

As long as he drags down these people, when he captures the city, these armies and this iron army will be useless when they arrive at that city.

He and Wang Yuanying from Zhongshan were very different in leading troops, but this time he had the same idea. No matter how the tactics were, he was pursuing time.

The riverbed where these chariots and horses were still full of water before dozens of days, but with the outbreak of some battles upstream and the construction of many city fortifications, the water flow of this river was completely cut off. Even if there were one or two heavy rains before, the accumulated rainwater soon penetrated into the deep underground in the dry riverbed, leaving only wet among the rocks on the riverbed, making the grass growing on the riverbed more vigorous and dense.

The Southern Liang and the Northern Wei occupies most of the fertile land in this world. For the world where the Southern Liang and the Northern Wei are located, the borders of the two are instead the middle of the world, and the flatter fields.

Going north along this winding riverbed, there are occasionally some uncoordinated forest protrusions in the wasteland shrouded by the dark night, but the ground becomes more and more flat.

At the end of the upper reaches of this riverbed, there are some lights in the night.

When dark clouds cover the moon and the night becomes darker, these lights appear clearer.

But only when you are close together can you see the outline of a big city clearly.

This big city, which is difficult to show in the deep darkness, looks particularly majestic at close range. It is straight with some sloping walls that are inclined inward. The water in the moat below is turbid and is constantly tumbling for some reason. Even if practitioners are close together, they will feel insurmountable.

The many official roads leading to this city also connect some cities and fortresses, but those cities and fortresses that have been destroyed in the war are like the difference between farmhouses and royal palaces compared with the size of this city.

The light of fire that appears clear in the dark comes from the city wall. Many open areas on the city wall are burning huge fires, and hot stones are roasted on the fires. This ordinary stone in Yongyang Mountain in the Southern Dynasty also played an important role in the war. After being thrown out with a stone casting machine, the reddish stone will explode when it is cold in the air. A reddish stone as big as a head will burst into hundreds of stone pieces with sharp edges in the air.

This sharp stone piece that falls from the sky can reap a fresh life as long as one hits the keys of an ordinary soldier.

The sound of heavy objects and tiny objects flying in the air kept ringing, and the night was already deep, but the battle surrounding the big city continued.

That night, the Northern Wei army outside the city had been repelled several times of siege. At this moment, the Northern Wei army was suppressed outside the moat and could not even get close to the river to fill the river, but there were still soldiers from the Southern Dynasty falling down on the city wall.

Ordinary ordnance shot from the city walls can pose a fatal threat to ordinary sergeants, but cannot prevent the practitioner from approaching.

Sometimes the figure of the other practitioner cannot be seen in the night, but the sound of flying swords suddenly sounds, and then blood flowers are flying on the city wall.

The Ruyin Sword Sect is also a practice sect that has been replaced by three dynasties in the south and has always been valued. Its location is not far from Jiankang. Whether in the previous dynasty or at this time, many powerful people sent their children to the Ruyin Sword Sect to practice, which also brought many resources to the Ruyin Sword Sect. After Xiao Yan ascended the throne, the Ruyin Sword Sect was directly appointed as one of the training institutions in the army. Many young people who performed well in the army would be drawn out and sent to the Ruyin Sword Sect to practice.

Compared with Ruyin Sword Sect, although students in the academies of the South Heaven Academy may have higher talents and more prominent family backgrounds, their combat experience cannot be compared with those of the practitioners of Ruyin Sword Sect.

Tu Yunqing, a practitioner of Ruyin Sword Sect, studied in Ruyin Sword Sect for three years. Before that, he was one of the best scouts among the border troops. At this time, he was wearing an ordinary infantry leather armor and stood behind a rock-throwing armour.

In front of him was a Southern Dynasty general wearing light armor. Before that, the general had issued several military orders.

The night ahead seemed empty, and the water vapor tumbling in the moat was lower than the city wall. Standing on the city wall, looking at the Northern Wei soldiers in the wilderness below, just like watching a very small person moving in the clouds.

However, a dangerous aura appeared in his perception, which was also the aura he wanted to capture.

The true energy accumulated in the meridians in his body burst out instantly, and a heart-pounding crack sound was emitted on the ordinary leather armor on his body. An extremely cold sword intent bloomed from behind him, turning into a stunning rainbow, hitting a quietly protruding water vapor in front of him.

With a sound of shock, the two Southern Dynasties soldiers who were bent near the outside of the city wall were even knocked back by the sudden burst of air waves and fell to the ground.

The water vapor has disappeared invisible, and two small swords trembled sharply in the air.

Blood was already bleeding from the corner of Tu Yunqing's mouth, but his expression remained unchanged. With a sharp light in his eyes, his flying sword forced forward again.

The flying sword from the unknown Northern Wei sword master wailed, like a poisonous snake that was cut seven inches, and had no strength anymore. It fell above the city wall with a tingling sound.

Tu Yunqing's expression relaxed, and the general in front of him who used his body as bait suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and sweat beads rolled down his forehead.

However, at this moment, a sword light flashed in the darkness behind Tu Yunqing's head.

A flying sword that suddenly appeared pierced from the back of his head without even having time to react, and then broke through the hardest forehead bone and rushed out with hot blood.

The general who used his body as bait exclaimed in horror. Before he could turn around, blood had already sprayed on him, but the flying sword did not stop at all, and he was too lazy to cut his throat, so he flew near his neck and passed through the water vapor under the city wall.

....

More exclamations sounded on the city wall.

The loudest part of the exclamation erupted was the south gate of the city wall.

In the wilderness outside the south gate of the city wall is the main business area of ​​this Northern Wei army.

In the past few days, there were tens of thousands of Northern Wei troops who arrived first. After a siege, most of the Northern Wei troops quietly retreated, and the number of newly received Northern Wei troops was only about 10,000.

The Southern Dynasty army was 60,000 in the city. Under such circumstances, the city's lords naturally left the city without hesitation to attack. However, what was unexpected was that in the wilderness outside the South Gate, the Southern Dynasty army was defeated and lost more than 13,000 people.

The Northern Wei army, which had a total of less than 16,700 people, lost less than 3,000 people.

The biggest reason for such an incredible proportion of war losses was not that the Northern Wei army, which had arrived with more than 10,000 people, was too elite, but because there were many cultivators in this army. And when the raid that day, the soil in a large area outside the South Gate suddenly became soft and muddy, from the original normal mud, it became like a swamp, and instantly caused the Southern Dynasties army to rush out to be in chaos and could not fight as imagined.

This change in the landform can only come from the formation divisions in the opponent's army. In the following battle, with nearly 10,000 Northern Wei troops coming to aid, the Southern Dynasties in this city had no confidence to rush out.

However, the Southern Dynasty soldiers in the city have also observed a very strange phenomenon in the past few days. At the beginning, more than 10,000 Northern Wei troops with the formation division were not mixed with the rest of the Northern Wei troops, and the distinction was strictly distinguished.

This Northern Wei army occupied the camp outside the South Gate at this time, while the remaining Northern Wei army set up camp outside the other gates.

Nearly half of the Southern Dynasties in the city were Lan Huaigong's troops, belonging to the border troops, and half were local troops and other reinforcements mobilized at the battle. After discovering this strange phenomenon, the generals in the city were already planning a plan to launch a raid from the other gates to avoid the combat plan with the army of the South Gate.

The Northern Wei army outside the South Gate has a particularly gloomy temperament. Even in the dark, it seems that it rarely burns fire, giving people the feeling that there is no need for fire when they are not allowed to use it for food.

But tonight, the Wei army outside the South Gate had a surprising movement, and piles of bright bonfires were ignited.

In addition to the camp, fires ignited one by one from the battlefield several miles outside the south gate. But in less than a cup of tea, the south gate of this big city was bright outside, just like daytime.

Amid the fire, more than 10,000 Northern Wei troops in the camp seemed to have emerged in full swing, and the leader was a train chariot.

There was no man on the chariot in the middle, but two female generals, one in red and one in blue.

I can't see clearly from afar. From the top of the city, I can only see the woman in red and tall and plump, while the woman in blue and graceful.

The clothes on these two women were obviously not armored, but the cavalry behind the chariots were covered with black armor. Compared with the gorgeous and glamorousness of these two women, their temperament seemed particularly cold.

The horses under these cavalrymen all had ropes hanging on their bodies, dragging heavy objects.
