Although the combination of the two rivers is powerful, it has two disadvantages. One is that it consumes too much energy, and the other is that there will inevitably be some fish that slip through the net. Many barbarians may survive even if they are knocked unconscious by the water or crashed into the mountain wall.
Fang Yun has studied in depth the examples of those predecessors through the Moving Mountain Pavilion. One can learn, but cannot imitate. Because although there are 283 mountains in front of everyone, the positions of the mountains are different, and imitation is useless.
However, Fang Yun learned a lot of things that were not limited by the location of the mountains. For example, he discovered that all aspects of the barbarians could be affected. The timing of exchanging steep peaks and gently sloping peaks should not be when the enemy's morale is high, because the use is very general. If used when the enemy's morale is low, the effect will be great.
Before using the poisonous insect mountain, it is necessary to kill the frog barbarians, lizard barbarians and other barbarians. Once these barbarians are there, the effect of the poisonous insects will be extremely poor.
Before the troops move out, the food and fodder must go ahead; knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. These are the biggest reasons why Fang Yun is confident that he can expel Wei Yu.
Soon, a barbarian army of ten thousand people appeared in front of the mountains. The strongest of these barbarians had only twenty demon generals, but no demon lords.
The mountains cannot stop the powerful Demon Lords. Any Demon Lord, like Hanlin, has the power to cut off an ordinary river and smash a mountain. The Demon King above him is powerful enough to block the Yangtze River which is a hundred miles wide.
Fang Yun had observed the mountains before, and without waiting for the barbarian groups to approach, he began to merge the two rivers according to what he had learned before.
To merge two rivers into one, one must first move enough mountains to form a new river channel. Secondly, one must choose the confluence point of the two rivers, which is also the water storage point. Then, the total amount of water storage must be selected based on the enemy's marching speed. Too little will have a poor effect, and too much may be discovered by the enemy in advance.
After that, we must force the barbarian army to go through the place they must pass.
The previous military geniuses had limited talents, and even if they used the Merge of Two Rivers, they could not kill too many barbarian armies at once. However, after careful study, Fang Yun discovered that the Merge of Two Rivers actually had a more powerful use.
Fang Yun stretched out his right hand towards the front, and with a surge of talent, he saw the two mountains exchange positions.
Wei Yu took a closer look and felt strange because the two mountains were not around the river and there was nothing special about them. They were just two mountains, one high and one low, that were swapped.
Wei Yu did not think that Fang Yun was giving up on himself, so he always paid attention to Fang Yun while moving the mountain.
Fang Yun was like a child playing with stones, moving them here and there, seemingly without any clue. He was just playing around randomly.
Wei Yu was confused. Even the most ordinary scholar could see that Fang Yun was moving the mountains recklessly. The barbarian army had already reached the edge of the mountains, but Fang Yun did nothing and was still moving the mountains without any method.
"You...how come you have so much talent?" Wei Yu finally couldn't help it, because since Fang Yun moved the mountain, the talent he had consumed was close to half of the limit for a juren, at least five inches of talent had been consumed.
Fang Yun did not answer and continued to move the mountain.
Wei Yu silently calculated the consumption of Fang Yun's moving the mountain based on the distance and size of the mountain. When Fang Yun had consumed the equivalent of six inches of talent, Wei Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked ahead at Fang Yun in disbelief.
Because after Fang Yun moved the two mountains beside the second river, the huge peaks blocked the original river channel, and at the same time, a new gap appeared due to the displacement of the peaks.
The river originally flowed from west to east, but now it turned 90 degrees and flowed straight to the north from the gap.
Until this time, Wei Yu suddenly woke up and found that Fang Yun was not moving mountains randomly before. Instead, he was creating a river channel, and he did not randomly create a straight river channel, but chose the way that consumed the least talent to create a winding river channel, allowing the water of the second river to flow forward.
Wei Yu looked along the river and saw the water rushing madly like a giant white dragon. At the end of the river, Fang Yun once again moved mountains and changed the course of the first river.
Wei Yu discovered that the confluence of the two rivers was surrounded by dozens of high mountains to form a huge reservoir, and there were many small hills in the reservoir.
"You..." Wei Yu completely understood Fang Yun's purpose. Because 70% of those hills and the surrounding mountains were covered with tall trees, the students could use their talents to knock down the trees on these peaks, forming rolling logs, which would be as lethal as falling rocks.
But now, these mountains are about to be submerged by water.
Wei Yu could almost imagine the scene of logs formed by these giant trees floating down the river. Many monsters might be able to escape the flood, but they might not be able to escape the rolling logs hitting the water surface at high speed.
Not long after, Wei Yu discovered another place. There was a canyon on the east side of the reservoir. The peaks on both sides of the canyon were not very steep, but all the stone edges were extremely sharp. Once a monster was washed there by the water, it might be stabbed by the sharp stone edges if it lost control a little.
These stone-edge peaks were not steep enough and consumed more energy, so they were considered useless by countless students. However, Wei Yu did not expect that Fang Yun actually made full use of the stone-edge peaks and used the combination of the two rivers to the extreme.
Wei Yu put away his last bit of contempt and suddenly discovered that although Fang Yun did not stop the barbarian army, he had deployed many killing moves along the way to target those barbarians who were particularly good at swimming. Less than 10% of the barbarians were particularly good at swimming, and it was very likely that they would be killed without being noticed.
Once the barbarians who are good at swimming are killed, the two rivers will merge and explode, and the barbarians will completely lose the ability to save themselves.
A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Wei Yu's forehead. No matter how strong Fang Yun was before, he was just good at studying and had a talent for poetry and writing. But this Yishan Pavilion tested strategy and planning. It was not a test of the gains and losses of a mountain or a place, but the overall view that only top scholars could understand.
"How many books has Fang Yun read?"
Wei Yu felt a trace of regret in his heart. Fang Yun's arrangement in Yishan Pavilion worried him more than writing countless famous articles. This meant that Fang Yun had already taken into account all the weaknesses and inappropriateness they thought of Fang Yun.
For example, this time's Lingyan Pavilion competition.
Being able to plan so much at the Yishan Pavilion, he would never be so rash as to expel a former top scholar from the academy.
Wei Yu's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly.
More students came in one after another. When they saw the two long rivers converging like two white dragons, they were stunned at first. Then they observed their own mountains while constantly glancing at Fang Yun.
"Isn't Fang Yun's luck too good?"
"how do I say this?"
"Those rivers are natural. Otherwise, with his remaining talent, he would not have been able to open up two rivers."
"Do you think the saints who designed the Lingyan Pavilion would be so stupid?"
"Then...then what evidence do you have to prove that Fang Yun did this on his own?"
"Just look at Wei Yu's expression."
Everyone looked at Wei Yu and found that his face looked worse and worse, and every time someone came in, Wei Yu would take a look, as if he was looking for someone, but he was becoming more and more disappointed.
"Don't worry about Wei Yu! It seems that Fang Yun has really recovered his broken literary talent, so he can use the legendary two rivers into one in this Yishan Pavilion!" (To be continued...)
