Chapter 174 Magical Powers

The life circumstances are changing and impermanent, and Taoist Master Wang is quite moved by this. He was originally a Taoist priest who was wandering around and lived a life of no fixed place. He was full and hungry. At half an old age, he didn't even have a Taoist boy to serve.

However, in Xuanhu, because of something, his life suddenly changed. The noble King of Xiyang gave him a chance, an opportunity to display his supernatural powers in front of everyone.

After several consecutive times of the altar practice, Master Wang's magical powers brought unexpected results. The figure of Master Wang is indispensable in the battle where King Xiyang won all the battles.

In the dream and illusion, he really thought that he had magical powers and could withdrew thousands of enemies by his own strength. However, when Meimeng woke up, Taoist Wang quickly regained his reason. He understood that there were really magical powers in the world, but this magical power was not his, but King Xiyang.

The famous Taoist Master Wang is actually a puppet controlled by the King of Xiyang. Every time he goes to the altar, he just pretends to behave. Taoist Master Wang knows how much he has, and he won't have too many inappropriate thoughts.

Because of his usual outstanding performance, he not only had the service of Taoist boys, but also had companions, land and houses, and future generations.

Master Wang was grateful for this, so he did whatever King Xiyang asked him to do. For this reason, he also carefully figured out a set of "dance steps" that could make the movements look quite stylish and make the bystanders look blinded.

In addition, how the supernatural powers appear has nothing to do with Master Wang. He rehearsed many times and worked hard to "show" on the altar.

Not only Taoist Master Wang, but also the guardians on both sides of the left and right "eat dates and chickens", but also the "pills and eggs" were performing hard. The three of them were on the stage... The movements on the altar were all particular. Although others seemed to be very "live" on the altar, this was the effect of careful rehearsal.

As the "protagonist", Wang Daocheng's image is of course a master of talent. Although "eating date chicken" is a "bird", he does not play the role of a crane, but is responsible for being funny. "Pills and eggs" are of course not a fairy pill, but also responsible for being funny.

The three-person group of Taoist Master Wang, who had a serious face and laughed at him, made the onlookers do not know whether to laugh or pray devoutly to show their supernatural powers.

This feeling of attention from thousands of people made Taoist Master Wang and the left and right guardians very useful, but they were a little nervous because they didn't know how the so-called "supernatural powers" would appear.

If it doesn't work and doesn't make a fool of yourself on the spot, you might be borrowed by the King of Xiyang to use it, that would be a bad thing.

A whistling sound came, a slug arrow flew over, passed by Wang Daozhu, and inserted it into the "pill egg". The three of them were so scared that they almost lay down on the spot to avoid the slug arrow.

Fortunately, the man who played the "Pill Egg" was wearing bloated clothes, so the arrow did not cause any harm. The dance... The ritual continued, and the king's forehead was already sweating coldly: If the one shot just now, it would be fatal.

In a corner of the car formation next to the mound, Li Jing looked at the altar on the top of the hill with a thousand-mile mirror, his eyes wide open and almost forgot to blink.

This Qianli Miles were made by his uncle Han Qinhu. It is night now and it is not much use, so Li Jing used it to observe the altar of the Central Military Office to see what kind of magical powers the King of Xiyang would use to retreat to the enemy.

The battle was fierce, but the situation was not very good for our side. The enemy was full of troops and continued to attack, the casualties of our soldiers gradually increased but they were unable to rest.

Originally, fighting and leaving during the day had consumed a lot of physical strength, but at night it was fierce hand-to-hand combat. If this continued, by dawn, our soldiers would not be able to hold on.

At this point, Li Jing once again confirmed that the King of Xiyang's soldiers were strong soldiers, and the formation of chariots laid out was indeed strong, and other soldiers were indeed tenacious. However, if they lost their physical strength, they would lose them. Even if they had the courage, they could not hold the knife in their hands. How could they retreat to the enemy in this way?

The small formation that his uncle supervised the battle has been attacked several times by the enemy. Although they were finally repelled by the soldiers, their own casualties have increased. If this continues, there will always be no way to repel the enemy soldiers, and there will be no power to turn the world back then.

Near the ancient city of Ningping, there are all empty plains around it, and enemies on all sides. If you want to break through, you can only run south. After running for a distance, you will be sand and water. As long as you cross the sand and water to reach the south bank, you can get rid of the cavalry and save your life.

But this distance will definitely be a bloody road, because the enemy deliberately keeps the south side of the chariot array without attacking, which means surrounding three and one, to accelerate the collapse of the chariot array. Once the collapse occurs, the soldiers who are throwing their armor and fleeing south will be slashed and trampled by the cavalry that follows.

Li Jing didn't want to end like this. He would rather die in hand-to-hand combat than on the road to escape, so he was eager to turn around, and the only hope was placed on the coach, the King of Xiyang.

At this time, Li Jing heard of the Taoist priest who was practicing altar on the top of the mound. It is said that when the Taoist priest was in Xuanhu, he used magical powers to repel enemy soldiers several times. It was with the assistance of this Taoist priest with infinite magic power that the King of Xiyang finally defended Xuanhu.

Li Jing did not believe this statement. He believed that the theory of gods and ghosts was illusory. If an army wanted to win a battle, it was up to the commanding ability of the commander and the soldiers who fought bloody battles, rather than a Taoist priest who used his magical powers to retreat to the enemy.

The reason why there is such a rumor is that King Xiyang used Taoist priests to impede people's eyes and ears, and actually used a series of methods. These methods were very effective, so that he truly realized the magical "power to retreat to the enemy."

Thinking about the previous battle, those war elephants who suddenly entered the battle, Li Jing felt that it was possible that the King of Xiyang had another surprise attack this time, but then he thought it was impossible.

This time, the army did not even carry tents and went into battle as light as possible. The many carriages accompanied by were loaded with essential supplies such as armor, weapons, and it was impossible for them to hide any elephant soldiers or surprise soldiers.

After encountering the enemy, I marched south and walked for a day and walked for about ten miles. In this case, how could there be a surprise soldier like the Elephant Soldier?

There were many enemy cavalrymen, wandering around in the wilderness. Even if the surrounding friendly troops heard the news and tried to come to rescue, they could not move in front of the enemy cavalry, so how could they come so quickly?

Therefore, there will be no foreign aid, you can only rely on yourself. However, how should you deal with it to defeat the enemy?

As he thought about it, Li Jing suddenly put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and looked at his uncle, and saw his calm command headquarters deploying defenses, and everything seemed to be as usual.

Li Jing does not think that his uncle, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, cannot see that the current situation is critical. The reason why he can be so calm is that he is used to the critical moment of life and death, and will not fluctuate his emotions due to this. Secondly...

Could it be that my uncle knew the methods of King Xiyang as before?

As soon as this thought came out, it became uncontrollable. Li Jing was itchy and wanted to ask his uncle to get the answer. But this was not possible, because the military law was strict. If there was really a answer, it would be confidential. Uncle would not say it, so he would ask in vain.

So, what are the magical powers of King Xiyang?

......

In the north of the Che Formation, Yuchi Dun used a thousand-mile mirror to observe the enemy. The opponent set up a formation around the earth mound. The earth mound is the commanding height, and it should be the enemy's central army. He noticed it in the evening.

Because there is a tiger-head flag, Yuwen Wen's Hulin Army is in the formation, so Yuwen Wen should be there too, so...

You asked a Taoist priest to jump around on the stage, thinking that pretending to be a god can use his magical powers to ensure safety?

Yuchi Dun thought so, put down the Qianli Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Mi

But he could probably see the Taoist priests jumping around and two monsters twisting around. This strange scene formed a strong contrast with the surrounding environment where the fierce fighting was going.

If the enemy commander was someone else, Yuchi Dun would think that the other party was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and he would be defeated and could only let the Taoist priests come out to do things and deceive themselves.

However, now, the enemy commander may be Yuwen Wen, and Yuchi Dun dare not underestimate the other party. This mad dog has ruined his good deeds one after another and is a difficult opponent, so now that Taoist priests come out to do things, there must be conspiracy.

When he was in Xuanhu, whenever a Taoist priest practiced the law on the city, he would definitely make trouble. Yuchi Dun thought about the scene at that time and looked at the mound in front of him, and couldn't help but feel surprised.

But not long after, he calmed down again, because his plan was foolproof and he would never have the opportunity to take advantage of the other party.

In the Battle of Chai Village, Yuchi Dun commanded the spot. As a result, when he was focusing on dealing with the enemy troops attacking in front of him, his back was attacked by the sudden enemy cavalry, causing him to flee in a panic. Such a mistake would never be made again.

At this time, he also sat in the north of the battlefield and commanded the cavalry to besiege the enemy. Because it was night, in order to facilitate the generals of various departments to report military information and to let the soldiers know where the central army was, there was a bonfire at the location, which was a bit conspicuous in the dark.

Just in case, Yuchi Dun arranged several cavalry behind him to intercept possible enemy cavalry at any time. After the central army tent where he was located, he arranged many deer antlers to resist horses, and the enemy cavalry had no way to attack from behind.

He thought of all possible hidden dangers and made arrangements for them one by one, so Yuchi Dun did not think that the other party could turn the tables.

The battle situation ahead kept coming. Yuchi Dun knew that the enemy's vehicle formation was shaking, and his bravery repeatedly attacked the formation from different directions. Although he had not been able to expand the results of the battle so far, the braves stayed in the formation for longer and longer.

Many carriages were set on fire by the brave men. Although the fire was put out by the opponent, the carriages that rely on as barriers were damaged more and more due to continuous damage. As long as one more force was added, the brave men could truly attack.

As long as this line of defense is broken, the cavalry can directly mount the horse and attack the formation. At that time, Yuwen Wen can collect the body!

Yuchi Dun thought so and ordered a new round of attack to begin. He had enough soldiers on hand to attack the vehicle formation continuously. The soldiers who were replaced could still rest, but it was difficult for the other party to do so, so there was nothing to worry about.

He wanted to see what kind of magical powers Yuwen Wen could use to turn the situation around.

......

At the outer edge of the chariot formation, the battle had become fierce. Amid the fierce drums, a new round of attack began in the east, west and north at the same time. The number of soldiers put into combat was doubled compared with the previous arrangement, because the Prime Minister asked that this attack must be attacked and defeated the enemy.

Since the battle has been fought, many people are exhausted. Taking advantage of their strength to attack and end the battle, it is indeed a good choice.

Stepping on the corpses covered with the ground, the soldiers held shields and charged towards the chariot formation. The shouting of countless people gathered into sound waves, beating the shaking chariot formation.

The sound of drums also sounded in the chariot formation. The howling soldiers held weapons and tried desperately to block the gap. The others climbed onto the carriage and fought with their opponents who also climbed onto the carriage.

The offensive and defense sides began a new round of bloody battles, and this time, the attacking side had a clear advantage. The brave men were about to rush through the carriage and poured into the carriage like a flood about to overflow the dam.

Victory was about to come, and many people were happy about it. Just as they stepped over the top of the carriage and were about to strike into the formation, they found that many high poles were erected more than ten steps in front of them, which were slightly higher than the roof of the carriage.

There are round objects on the top of the high pole. With the help of fire, you can see that these objects seem to be round basins, with the mouth of the basin facing the outside, and I don’t know what the purpose is.

A shrill sound rang in the array, and then the discs on the high poles suddenly burst out with dazzling light. The light suddenly appeared in the night, instantly blinding the brave men opposite.

If a person looks at the sun in the sky, his eyes will be temporarily blinded by the dazzling sunlight. If the eyes are short, his eyes will still be able to recover. If the time is long, his eyes will be significantly reduced, and he may even be permanently blinded by the sunlight.

Now, countless strong light sources suddenly shone in front of them. The dazzling light directly caused the eyes of the brave men to burn. After a burst of pain, there was permanent darkness.

They were really blind, throwing their weapons down and wailing with their eyes covering their wail.

Although the soldiers within dozens of steps of the distance were not burned, they were temporarily blinded; while, although the soldiers within a hundred steps of the distance of the eyes were not blind, they were shook by the dazzling light so that they could not see clearly.

Within a hundred steps, no one dared to look at the strong light. Three rows of strong lights suddenly appeared on the east, west and north sides of the car formation, causing the tide's offensive to collapse instantly.

At the altar on the top of the mound, Master Wang was stunned when he saw such a strange phenomenon. He finally knew what the "magic power" mentioned by King Xiyang was, and the expressions of others were not much better when facing such strange phenomena.

Only Wang Yuwen of Xiyang was gentle and a few people, and was very calm.

If the glass mirror reflects the flame light of the gunpowder when it explodes, it can only sway the eyes of the person in front of you at night, and the intensity of the light is still not enough. There is only one way to achieve such a strong lighting effect now, that is, use an arc lamp.

High voltage arc lamp.

The pre-installed hydroelectric generator on the south bank of the Shashui River generates strong current under hydraulic pressure. After being processed by a series of devices, it is directed to the mound in the ancient city of Ningping by wires and connected to a large number of arc lamps.

When the switch is closed, current passes between the two opposite but non-contact carbon rods in each arc lamp, forming an arc and bursting out a dazzling light. This light is reflected by the smooth parabolic bronze mirror, which can cause the enemy soldiers in front of him to be blind in an instant.

This is a technology that transcends the times, and inspires it is a popular science experiment in that era - pencil-core arc lamp.

The arc light is very bright, as dazzling as the sun. In each row, dozens of arc lights suddenly "turn on" the lights, which can blind the eyes of the person in front of you. This is Yuwen Wen's magical power: the Great Light Technique.

But this is just an ineffective technological product, without sufficient technical support, and only a few minutes of brilliantness, which is a costly toy.

After a few minutes of brilliance, the arc lamp suddenly went out and the generator was severely burned. The total copper coins were no less than 600,000 jin. This is the reality of the Great Light Technique: a disposable consumable, and it is expensive.

But these precious few minutes are the opportunity for Yuwen Wen to turn the tables, an opportunity that he can't buy even if he doesn't have six million yuan.

Ningping’s ancient city is not the defeat of Yuwen Wen’s panic fleeing south, but the alternative battlefield he carefully selected. If the forced army fails, he will be wiped out by the lured enemy on this alternative battlefield.

His "magic power" to turn the situation around the battle was one of the "rings of thorns" (electric wire mesh) or the "Great Light Technique" (high-voltage arc lamp).

Taking into account the risk of leakage, effect and success rate, Yuwen Wen chose the latter to achieve a Jedi counterattack.
