On the 13th of the 10th month, the Xiling Army finally arrived at the city gates, and Hongzhou City was met with an unprecedented fierce attack. But at the same time, the Xiling Army also met with a stubborn resistance that they had never faced before. On top of the city walls, the Black Cloud Cavalry shot arrows at the invaders like rain, but the people below the city walls also charged forward without any regard for their own safety. Jhennam Of Gojoseon rode his horse behind the Xiling Army. He could vaguely see a woman in green sitting at the highest point of the city walls, calmly looking down at the battle below. Behind the woman in green, a few tall men stood with their hands behind their backs, also watching this battle. From afar, Jhennam Of Gojoseon could still recognize that the handsome man in red was Prince Ding's trusted aide, Feng Zhiyao. Seeing his opponent sitting so leisurely on the high platform, Jhennam Of Gojoseon's eyes revealed a murderous aura. He was so angry that he laughed, "What a great Imperial Concubine!"
On the high platform, Ye Li also looked at a place behind the Xiling Army from afar. She turned around and smiled at Feng Zhiyao, "Feng San, this is the first time we are fighting against Jhennam Of Gojoseon face to face, right?" Feng Zhiyao rolled his eyes in boredom, "Isn't it? Before, we were either playing tricks or retreating while fighting. If we continue to fight like this, people will start to suspect that our Mohist army only knows how to retreat. " Hearing Feng Zhiyao's resentful complaints, Ye Li smiled and said, "If that's the case, then we should celebrate …" After saying this, Ye Li turned around and took the pipa from Qin Feng's hands. She lightly played it, and a clear melody flowed out from between her fingers. Ye Li smiled faintly, her ten fingers nimbly dancing on the pipa. The sound of the pipa gradually grew louder and louder, gradually spreading throughout the entire battlefield.
The soldiers who were fighting did not have the time to appreciate the majestic music. Even the slightest mistake on the battlefield could cost them their lives. However, that seemingly gloomy yet seemingly high-spirited voice clearly reached the ears of every soldier. The Mohist army's officers and soldiers seemed to recall the past glory of the Mohist army. It was as if they saw the heroic and domineering Prince of the past leading them to charge and break through enemy lines.
"Expel the bandits and revive the spirit of our Mohist army!" Not only did someone shout this, but the people on the battlefield immediately became murderous. "Kill!"
Standing beside Ye Li, Feng Zhiyao's expression changed slightly as he said, "This is … the Song of King Yue Breaking the Battle Formation …" Ye Li did not reply. Her ten fingers flew swiftly as she played a string of majestic, murderous notes. Ye Li had been raised by the Xu family and the Xu family since she was a child. How could she not know music? She just didn't like it. This Song of Entering the Battle Formation was originally a guqin song. It was majestic, simple and elegant, with an ancient style. However, Ye Li felt that it was more suitable to be played by a pipa. Just like the ambush from her previous life, other instruments might be able to play it, but it would definitely be difficult to achieve the effect of a pipa. A pipa's fingering and range was very suitable for such an intense and majestic song. Feng Zhiyao clearly did not expect Ye Li to reply. He only said softly, "The Song of King Yue Breaking the Battle Formation has been lost for more than two hundred years. Probably only the Xu family would have such an ancient score."
When two armies fought, it was said that the courageous would win. When the Mohist army soldiers were murderous because of their Wangfei, the West-Hill soldiers were weaker in comparison. In the distance, the Xiling Army's banner flew out. Jhennam Of Gojoseon stared dazedly at the figure in green in the distance, his eyes bright. The general beside him whispered, "Prince … the Mohist army is in full swing. Why don't we … avoid them first?" It had to be said that the Wangfei of Dingguo was indeed a talent. Just a piece of pipa music could raise the momentum of the entire Mohist army to a new level. Jhennam Of Gojoseon looked up to the sky and laughed. He pointed the horsewhip in his hand to the highest point on the city wall and laughed loudly, "This kind of woman is interesting. Compared to her, all the beauties in the world are trash! Haha … whoever dares to retreat will be killed. This woman … I must have her! "
The general beside him nodded and did not dare to persuade him again. Jhennam Of Gojoseon smiled and said, "I heard that Mo Xiuyao is a genius in arranging troops. But I don't know if there is anyone in the Mohist army who can break the array now that Mo Xiuyao is not in the army." Jhennam Of Gojoseon obviously also recognized that the song just now was the Song of King Yue Breaking the Array. The West-Hill and Eastern Chu came from the same source a thousand years ago. Although many of their cultures were different, they were similar. With a wave of his hand, the war drums sounded behind him. Several soldiers waved the red flags in their hands. Soon, the West-Hill soldiers' array began to change. Such changes could not be hidden from Ye Li and the others who were looking down from above. Feng Zhiyao frowned and looked at the changes below. He said, "Six Flower Array … No … What's the difference …"
The West-Hill soldiers below the city wall quickly formed a huge array that was circular on the inside and square on the outside. And this huge array was encased in countless small arrays. The Mohist army originally had fewer soldiers than the West-Hill army. At this moment, they were as small as the ocean in the array.
Feng Zhiyao snorted and waved his hand. A green flag appeared above the city wall. The Mohist army's array also changed. A huge black dragon occupied the entire battlefield. The domineering and arrogant dragon head was the most elite Black Cloud Cavalry of the Mohist army. Wherever it went, no one dared to go against its sharp edge. When the black dragon swung its tail, the enemy's array could only be in disarray and on the verge of collapse.
Behind the Xiling Army, a small black flag rose. The Six Flower Array on the battlefield changed into a giant Roc's sharp claws and quickly grabbed the black dragon's body. In an instant, the giant dragon was cut in two.
"Damn it!" Feng Zhiyao cursed in a low voice. The flag on the city wall changed again. The giant dragon of the Mohist army immediately turned into countless black arrows and rushed towards the giant Roc.
Ye Li stood up and looked at the battle below the city wall. The so-called arrays of modern warfare had long been lost and were not really needed. So Ye Li was very unfamiliar with them. Although she had seen a lot of them in military books, she knew nothing about them in practice. At this moment, when she saw Feng Zhiyao commanding the army's array, she finally had some real ideas in her heart. At the same time, she lowered her head and thought of a way to break the array.
Array formation was not a knowledge that could be mastered with just a little bit of knowledge. At the very least, it was very difficult for Ye Li, who was currently on the battlefield, to help Feng Zhiyao in this regard. Even if she could understand and come up with some ideas, she would definitely not be able to let the Mohist army under the city wall understand her intentions. Moreover, Ye Li was only a beginner in array formation. No matter what, she would not be so arrogant as to think that she could immediately go up and compete with Jhennam Of Gojoseon, who was known as the War God of West-Hill, to see who was better at array formations. Standing on a high place, Ye Li stared at the battlefield below without blinking. As expected, after a few changes in the array, the Mohist army's array gradually began to collapse and fall into the Xiling Army's encirclement.
"Princess …" Qin Feng frowned and wanted to say something anxiously. He came from the Black Cloud Cavalry, but he was not the highest commander of the Black Cloud Cavalry. Cavalry also did not know much about arrays and were not proficient in them. But this did not stop him from seeing the fact that the Mohist army was gradually losing.
Ye Li raised her hand to stop him from saying what he wanted to say. She lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Feng San is indeed not Lei Zhenting's match. Let's end it here today." This battle seemed intense, but in reality, neither side used their full strength. It was just a test. Qin Feng said, "Our army has already fallen into the West-Hill's array. I fear it will not be so easy to get out. Princess … does Princess have a way to break the array? "As if out of habit, Qin Feng looked hopefully at Ye Li. They had not followed Princess for long, but unconsciously, they all thought of Princess as an omnipotent genius. Ye Li shook her head and said with a smile, "I really do not know much about arrays."
