Chapter 4468: Delay of the Formation
The painter's ability to set up formations is too strong, which easily arouses suspicion. There are usually no such strong formation masters among mercenaries.
If they find out that there are such strong formation masters here, the King of Zhennan may send out powerful formation masters to deal with it next time.
The formations set up by these people may not be powerful enough, but it is no problem to set up more to delay the enemy.
Ye Liuyun and Cui Daoran also confirmed the retreat route, and then Cui Daoran prepared for battle, and Ye Liuyun took a few women to set up rune formations.
Ye Liuyun also took action personally. Although he hadn't set up formations for a long time, he was only slightly slower.
He and Xiao Wanrong also deliberately let the water go, not setting up the power of the formations too strong, just keeping it at a level similar to that of a few women.
It's just that the number of formations they set up is large, and the size and function are different, covering an area of thousands of miles.
Half a day later, Ye Liuyun and his men were still setting up formations, and the 10,000 baits sent by Cheng Dingfeng had already arrived.
He let the other women continue, while he focused on the five martial saints in the other army.
"If we capture all five martial saints at once, they will never dare to split up again!"
After thinking about it, he decided to capture only two this time and let three go, so that they would think they still had the strength to fight again.
At the beginning of the battle, five martial saints from each side started fighting.
At the same time, Cheng Dingfeng's 90,000 troops and Qin Fengzhao's 100,000 troops immediately set off and rushed here at full speed.
Ye Liuyun also took action immediately, without using the power of time, and directly launched a soul-crossing air attack.
The soul and the red lotus karma fire suddenly appeared in the sea of consciousness of a martial saint, burning the consciousness in his defensive treasure and planting a slave seal on him first.
Then the scene immediately became six against four, and Ye Liuyun had the upper hand.
Another martial saint was injured by the person Ye Liuyun had just controlled, and he almost had no strength to fight again.
"Quickly retreat!"
The martial saint on the opposite side did not dare to fight and retreated immediately, while the injured martial saint did not escape and was captured alive by Ye Liuyun, the martial saint.
Ye Liuyun directly planted a slave seal on him and asked him to return to the cave world to speed up his recovery.
As soon as the martial saint left, Cui Daoran immediately led 20,000 soldiers to kill them. After killing nearly 3,000 soldiers of the other side, he immediately retreated.
Of course, the other side would not let them go and held on to them tightly.
At this time, Ye Shuangdao and Ye Jinyuan each led 10,000 people to kill, let Cui Daoran's 20,000 people go, and fought fiercely with the other side's soldiers again.
Ye Shuangdao and Ye Jinyuan also took turns to resist, fighting and retreating, but the other side's soldiers entangled them desperately.
The other side's soldiers also knew their mission, so at this moment they were determined to die and fought hard. The combat effectiveness was much higher than before.
Afterwards, the battle time was close to an hour, and Ye Liuyun's consciousness had already seen Cheng Dingfeng's army rushing here at full speed.
They did not send the Martial Saints to kill them first, but gathered the remaining eight Martial Saints together to avoid being defeated one by one by Ye Liuyun.
The 10,000 bait soldiers, now less than 4,000, were still chasing Ye Shuangdao and Ye Jinyuan.
But suddenly, Ye Shuangdao and Ye Jinyuan's team suddenly stopped, turned around and killed them again.
Cui Daoran's 20,000 people also came from both wings at this time and began to encircle and suppress them.
Cheng Dingfeng, who was rushing over, also knew that the 10,000 soldiers would definitely not be able to escape, so he could only urge the army to move forward as soon as possible.
His spiritual sense could see the situation on the battlefield at this moment, and saw that the soldiers were being encircled and fell one by one.
He was still muttering in his heart: "Your sacrifice was not in vain, and it bought us enough time. I will kill all these mercenaries to avenge you."
He estimated that when these soldiers were killed, they might be about half an hour away from the Wolf Hunting Corps.
They definitely couldn't run away at this distance. At that time, send another cavalry to intercept them slightly, and they could be stopped at any time.
The time was exactly as Cheng Dingfeng expected. The bait soldiers fought desperately, and Cui Daoran did not let the soldiers attack too fiercely in order to reduce casualties.
When the battle ended, the distance between them and Cheng Dingfeng's army was only about half an hour.
At this distance, the soldiers of both sides who were not too low in realm could see the strength of each other.
"Retreat!"
After the battle, Cui Daoran did not have time to clean up the battlefield and ran with the soldiers.
There was no time to even take care of the formation, so it seemed like a mess.
Cui Daoran deliberately let all the soldiers escape by their own ability and did not let them form a formation.
Cheng Dingfeng's commanders saw it and showed contempt.
"What a bunch of mercenaries, with such lax discipline. It's just that their individual strength is stronger, but they are simply vulnerable in front of us."
All of them thought that these mercenaries were just strong in individual strength and ran fast. If they really fought, they could easily destroy them.
Ye Liuyun and a few women in the distance also stopped and prepared to activate the formation.
Half an hour later, Cheng Dingfeng's army chased into the area where they set up the formation, and all the formations that had been set up in advance were activated.
Cui Daoran also released the warships after escaping the formation area, allowing the soldiers to board the warships and evacuate.
Once they boarded the warships and drove away, the army behind them would never catch up with them.
Cheng Dingfeng immediately sent a team of cavalry to chase them. But they were immediately trapped by the formation and attacked by the formation.
At the same time, Cheng Dingfeng's army was constantly trapped in the formation, which immediately stagnated their forward speed.
"Commander, if we continue like this, we may suffer heavy casualties. Let's stop the army temporarily and break the formation first!"
A deputy general suggested to Cheng Dingfeng.
But Cheng Dingfeng said: "If we stop at this time, they will really run away. The 10,000 soldiers we had before died in vain!
I don't believe that a group of mercenaries can set up so many formations with so many formation masters! The whole army continues to rush forward. When you encounter a formation, attack together and break it with force!"
"Yes!" The deputy general also agreed immediately and passed the order down.
So after the front army encountered obstacles, the middle army and the rear army continued to move forward from the left and right sides respectively.
But I didn't expect that the Wolf Hunting Corps really arranged the formation in a large area, and they were also dragged down by the formation.
"Keep charging, with such a large area of formation, there must not be much ahead!"
Cheng Dingfeng confidently led the army to continue to rush forward, attacking the formation while moving forward.
Some of those formations were illusion formations, some were trap formations, and there were attack forces of various attributes such as fire and ice.
There were also a few that were multiple formations combined into one. Even if the people outside broke through the formation, the people inside would have been almost dead.
Those formations were also constantly being destroyed. Once the soldiers were trapped in the formation, they attacked together from inside and outside. There was no need to analyze the key points of the formation, they all broke it with force.
