Chapter 156: Miserably calculated, defeated in the first battle!
Tong Yan easily broke the first formation, and did not continue to move forward, but stopped in place. It's not that the formation in front of him is difficult to break, which makes him feel worried, but that this burst of breaking is too time-consuming and a waste of energy.
The real purpose of his trip was nothing more than to meet the person who had written to him, and if possible, to kill him by the way, and to avoid any worries.
But now, that guy is obviously hiding and refusing to see anyone. Tong Yan's time is precious, he has been in the underworld for two days, a total of seven days, if you waste all your time here, it is estimated that you don't have to do anything.
He thought about it for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then unconsciously showed a sly smile.
If you continue to break the formation like this, it will be tantamount to being led by the nose. Tong Yan is not stupid, so he will never do such a stupid thing.
This is a ghost bamboo forest, and after all, it is still a bamboo forest. Even if there is a ghost hidden in each of these bamboos, it will not get in the way. As long as there is such a big fire, all the bamboo will be burned, and no matter what kind of array that guy is arranged, it will be broken in the end.
But the question now is, how do you set it on fire?
Tong Yan stared at the ghost bamboo in his hand, his eyes moved, and he immediately exerted his strength. only heard a few "clicks", and the ghost bamboo in his hand was immediately pinched into bamboo strips by him.
He laid the bamboo strips flat on the ground and immediately knitted them, and after a few minutes, a bamboo ball the size of a water tank appeared.
Tong Yan looked at his masterpiece, smiled, and then pulled out a few more bamboos and braided a few bamboo balls.
After a while, more than a dozen large balls made of bamboo were placed in front of him one after another.
This is not the end, after weaving the bamboo balls, Tong Yan made a few more bamboo boards and carved charms on the bamboo boards.
After this effort, dozens of charms carved from bamboo boards were finally completed.
Tong Yan tied these bamboo boards to his body with bamboo strips, then took one of them, clamped it between his fingers, and quickly recited the mantra. After a few mantras, the bamboo board between his fingers immediately slowly ignited a flame.
At this moment, Tong Yan slammed the bamboo board into the bamboo ball in front of him. Only a "whew" sound was heard, and the bamboo ball instantly turned into a fireball.
When Tong Yan saw it, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately flew forward and kicked the fireball directly forward.
As soon as the fireball entered the bamboo forest in front of him, it suddenly burst into flames, and in a moment, the bamboo forest had been burned out of a large clearing.
Tong Yan saw that the fireball had this divine power, and immediately repeated the old trick, only waiting for a dozen fireballs to be kicked out, and the huge bamboo forest had turned into a sea of fire.
This is the real purpose of Tong Yan's weaving bamboo balls, I am afraid that the fire charm alone will not burn this bamboo forest, but a dozen fireballs the size of a water tank are enough to ignite the entire bamboo forest.
Under the raging flames, the thatched hut in the middle of the ghost bamboo forest was finally revealed.
Tong Yan stepped forward quickly and shouted directly: "Your Excellency, the bamboo forest has been destroyed, and the formations have been broken, do you still want to hide your head and show your tail and refuse to show others?" ”
As soon as this sound fell, the sloppy old ghost sitting in the grass hut suddenly changed his face, and he saw that the bamboo sticks on the sand table in front of him had fallen down one after another, and only a few were left, and he was already powerless to return to the sky.
He looked at the fallen bamboo sticks, chuckled and said, "He is worthy of being a Qilin genius, and his movements are fast enough." It's been a long time since I've met an opponent, but this time I'm finally able to do my best. See you on the battlefield, boy! Hehe......" The laughter continued, his body slowly blurred, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Tong Yan saw that there was no one in the thatched house to respond, so he immediately flew forward and rushed in directly, but unfortunately the house was already empty. Tong Yan stared at the sand table on the desk, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Turning his hands into clouds, covering his hands into rain, he can control the overall situation with a sand table, what kind of opponent did he encounter?
Tong Yan didn't think much about it, turned around and left the thatched hut directly.
This trip to the Ghost Bamboo Forest was actually not for nothing, he at least knew that his opponent was very strong, and he had a very high attainment in the formation. If you want to beat him, it is really difficult, but Tong Yan is willing to accept the challenge.
Out of the ghost bamboo forest that had been burned to ashes, Tong Yan joined up with two followers and returned directly to the camp of the Vain Death City.
Unexpectedly, during the time when he left the camp, the army of Xudu actually sent two cavalry to the rear of the camp of the city of vain death, and launched a fierce sneak attack.
This sneak attack killed more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, which can be described as a heavy loss.
It turned out that this was the real purpose of the sloppy old ghost to meet Tong Yan, to turn the tiger away from the mountain and take advantage of the situation to sneak attack. The soldiers are not tired of cheating, in this first battle, Tong Yan was completely defeated, and this completely ignited his fighting spirit.
"If you don't defeat this army of Xudu, I swear not to be a human being!"
Stepping into the big tent, all the soldiers had gathered in it, and seeing their solemn faces, Tong Yan had realized the seriousness of the matter. The morale that was finally improved was extinguished by a heavy "rain", which was a little difficult for anyone to accept.
As soon as Tang Jun saw Tong Yan coming in, he immediately spoke: "Young marshal, in the few hours you have been away, the army of Xudu has launched several surprise attacks, and our army has suffered heavy casualties!" Please send me to lead 10,000 male soldiers to attack the camp of Xudu, even if I die, I will avenge the brothers who died in this camp! ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan shook his head and said, "If you launch a counterattack now, I'm afraid you will fall into the hands of the army of Xudu." For now, the only way to do this is to strengthen vigilance and wait for the opportunity! ”
"Wait? Young marshal, the soldiers in the battalion are full of righteous indignation, if you don't fight at this time, when will you wait? Please marshal, give me 10,000 horses, I am willing to take the lead and break into the enemy camp again! Speaking of this, Tang Jun suddenly knelt on one knee with a look of anticipation.
Tong Yan looked at her and sighed lightly: "Your mood, I can understand the mood of all of you." However, the strength of the Vain Death City is already weaker than that of the Xudu, and if it is hard now, this battle will definitely be lost. I know that you are not afraid of life and death, but how can you ignore the people in the city in vain? If we all die on the battlefield, who will protect the dead city? Who else can the people of the city count on? Pass on my commander's order, and the army will retreat back for ten miles, and there must be no mistake! ”
When General Ma Jie heard this, he immediately said puzzled: "Young Marshal, if you don't send troops, forget it, why do you want to retreat?" Isn't this telling the soldiers that you don't dare to be the enemy of the Du? ”
"Yes, young marshal! If you withdraw now, I'm afraid that the soldiers will not will! Please take back your life and make plans again! ”
"Please think twice!"
Although the generals dissuaded him, Tong Yan was still unmoved. Even if all the soldiers of the army misunderstood him, he insisted on retiring from the army.
What is Tong Yan's plan in his heart? What exactly is he referring to by timing? Is there any chance of winning this battle?
