Eight hundred and sixty-eighth chapter tragic
The rescue in Xinyan City cannot be delayed, and the 20,000 elite demon cavalry can never be easily escaped. The only choice is to lure the demon soldiers to fight in advance, but in order to do this, the momentum of 80,000 reinforcements before the war was extremely ugly.
Chen Hai gave up the possibility of ten sets of demon-killing chariots forming a four-pillar demon-killing formation. In that case, even if Shu Yue Lao Demon does not lead the elite demon cavalry to attack, different demon-killing chariots must strictly advance synchronously on the rugged terrain of the ditches and pits according to the special direction of the formation, the speed will never be fast. Turning into a fast marching formation means forcing the demon soldiers to come over, so that the demon soldiers cannot attack with all their strength. At this time, even the vigilant defense line between the two wings is extremely loose and may be cut off by the demon cavalry at any time.
Once the decisive battle begins, the marching formations of more than ten miles of horse and infantry, which have been opened up for more than ten miles, have no time to shrink the formation, and they do not pay attention to the formation at all, and directly join the melee.
The heavy crossbow that used to be a powerful weapon was mounted on the Tianji chariot and joined the melee as soon as possible. Naturally, it was broken up and destroyed by the demon soldiers at the fastest speed and could not play a role.
Of course, it cannot be said that Chen Hai completely gave up the tactics of relying on the combat machinery of heavenly mechanics and gathering solid formations. In fact, in the end, he still wanted all the horse soldiers, infantry, iron armored cavalry, sword cultivator disciples, and Xuanxiu disciples who participated in the melee, to use the heavy Tianji combat chariot as the gathering points on the battlefields, and to have the bloodiest and tragic tug-of-war with the demon soldiers on the extremely tragic battlefield.
As long as there is a heavy Tianji chariot that can be activated and can rush around the demon cavalry, let your uncle Ma Bing, iron armored elite cavalry, sword cultivator, and Xuanxiu disciples gather as much as possible.
This is extremely important. On the one hand, the target of the heavy Tianji war chariot is large enough to allow its generals and soldiers to clearly see the gathering target in the melee. Secondly, the heavy Tianji war chariot is also strong enough. Even if the armor is pierced and torn by the demon general again and again, it can still withstand the strongest attack on the front.
The demons like to fight melee, and the key to the melee is that the demon school, demon generals, and demon marquis are extremely tall. Even in the fierce melee, they can effectively gather their demon soldiers to form effective and powerful battle groups, repeatedly crushing the human race's troops.
When the human race uses heavy heavenly chariots to master the characteristics of the demon race's ability to win indiscriminate battles, the human race's advantage is four or five times that of the demon soldiers, and after experiencing the initial chaos and tragic casualties, it gradually manifests itself.
Shu Yue Demon King took back the Nine Yin Evil Blade and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was unwilling to give up, but what could he do if he was unwilling to give up? Chen Haiji Yushuo Tian Tower, the Blood Spirit Sword of Shatianhe and another Fu family's Taoist Fetal Realm Powerful Man, joined forces to stare at him, making him no matter how sharp the Nine Yin Evil Blade, he could not cut into the battlefield and harvest the delicious flesh and blood of the human race. He could only see demon wolves, demon cunning, green scale demons, wing demons, ape demons, and ape demons, torn apart by the human race's war halberd...
No matter how unwilling the Demon Lord Shu Yue was, he could only rush over to support the two thousand elite winged demons and retreat northwards. At this time, more than a hundred elite demons scouts took a lot of effort to dig out the severely injured Xia Han from the collapsed stone ridge, and took Shu Yue Demon Lord Shu Yue to retreat north together.
The morale of the human race in front of him was extremely strong. Although the killing and fighting spirit gathered by thousands of killing wills was invisible, it had already made the Demon Lord Shu Yue feel great pressure at this moment. Especially the martial arts generals who came from Xuanyuan's palace had to borrow the method of killing and fighting spirit, so that they could compete with the demon generals and demon schools of the same realm in close combat, and they were unwilling to give up, and they could not use the remaining amount of troops to restrain the reinforcements of the human race.
The moonlight shines on the ground full of limbs, which is an indescribable freehand painting and cruelty.
After half an hour of fierce battle, the 20,000 Rakshasa demons were almost wiped out, and only a small part of them escaped, but the human race was also suffering heavy casualties. More than 26,000 corpses that were killed in battle were thrown off the battlefield. The remaining soldiers and horses had no chance to say goodbye to the robes that died in battle, and they didn't even have time to rectify their formation, so they were directly ordered to advance to Xinyan City. Tens of thousands of minor and serious wounded people were also hunched on their way with their spiritual riders.
Before the war, more than 300 heavy Tianji war chariots and light demon-killing chariots were almost completely damaged. Even if they were not completely trapped and could barely move, they could not keep up with the speed of travel, and they could only be temporarily abandoned.
Jiang Ze, Zhou Tong and the others were in tears. The Black Wind Army suffered extremely tragic casualties. Seven thousand generals and soldiers were killed in battle. Two hundred heavy heavenly vehicles accumulated over seven or eight years, and they were left to ashes in one battle.
But this is necessary. Dai Lie must be so cruel that he can solve the 20,000 restraints. The harassing demon soldiers and advance to Xinyan City as quickly as possible to reach the next wave of demon soldiers and horses from Tianluo Valley, enter Xinyan City and join Fu Shaoqun and others, making Xinyan City an indestructible bridgehead for Beizhen.
Chen Hai rode on a riding abdomen and was caught by a demon soldier with dozens of blood marks. He walked forward crookedly on the back of a black cunning horse that was almost broken. He occasionally turned around and looked at it. Although most of the soldiers were stained with blood, the generals and soldiers were still rectifying their formations and sootheing the wounds while they were on the way, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Without restraint, the speed of reinforcements quickly increased to the limit. Although the demons had divided their troops to attack several times, they did not have the courage to distribute 20,000 or even more elite demon soldiers from the north of Xinyan City to attack, and in the end they could not hold back the progress of reinforcements.
Before noon the next day, when Chen Hai led reinforcements into Xinyan City, the next wave of troops of the demons was more than 300 miles away from Xinyan City.
At this time, Wu Zhidong had already led his troops to Beiling Pass. In addition to leaving 10,000 elite troops in Beiling Pass, the rest of the main force continued to advance north under his personal command.
At this time, the slow-to-in-progress Liyashan Wu Chengsi's troops and the Guniuling Jiang Han's troops rushed to Xinyan City faster. No matter how unwilling the old demon Ganchang was, he could only lead his troops to retreat 300 miles away. Based on the southern end of the Great Rift Valley of the New Demon Abyss, he occupied a stone ridge to assemble...
There, with the continuous stream of demon fog poisonous miasma that flows from Tianluo Valley, the advantages of the blood-refining magic array can be fully utilized; and after the collapse of the New Demon Abyss Rift Valley finally stabilized, it becomes a passage for the demon soldiers of Tianluo Valley to move south, and it can be free from the attacks of human races and reconnaissance. When establishing a demon village there, the demon clan will have a great advantage.
************************
Seeing Chen Hai, Sha Tianhe and others, their spiritual armor was broken and their whole body was stained with blood. This was caused by fighting with the demons in close combat. Fu Shaoqun saw this scene and bowed in front of the city gate, saying:
"Shaoqun is here, thank you Lord Chen!"
Even though Chen Hai knew that it was crucial to repel the attack of the demon clan, Fu Shaoqun, as the main general, still shocked many people to perform this great gift in public. However, Qin Qian and others thought about it carefully and felt that Chen Hai deserved this gift.
Xinyan City was still built according to Chen Hai's new method, and played a crucial role in resisting the first wave of strong attacks of the demons. Before the war, Chen Hai, regardless of gains and losses, transported a large number of reserves of the Beiling Pass such as Xuanyang Chongfeng Arrows and the Blast Flame Chongfeng Arrows to Xinyan City without reservation. This is also the key to Fu Shaoqun defending Xinyan City and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
After receiving the first fierce attack of the Rakshasa demon, Chen Hai did not breathe at all and broke through hundreds of miles alone. He personally directed the reinforcements to kill the demon soldiers and arrived at Xinyan City in time, which directly crushed the Rakshasa demon tribe's attempt to capture Xinyan City in one fell swoop.
In this battle, nearly 9,000 people died in the Black Wind Army, accounting for nearly half of the total Black Wind Army's troops. The casualties were even more than Fu Shaoqun's troops. The 80,000 elite troops in the Yanxing camp eventually accounted for more than 24,000 people. The proportion of deaths in the battle was still 20% lower than that of the Black Wind Army, not to mention that the number of heavenly weapons and weapons consumed by the Black Wind Army in this battle was far above the Yanxing camp.
Not only is Chen Hai not the main general of Yanxing Camp, nor is he a group of soldiers and horses from Yanxing Camp. It can even be said that Chen Hai has nothing to do with the gains and losses of Xinyan City. However, how can Chen Hai not impressed by how much Chen Hai can pay for the persistence of Xinyan City?
At this moment, not only Fu Shaoqun, but also Qin Qian felt ashamed of his past views and his past precautions against Chen Hai.
As the demon clan's troops retreated three hundred miles away, tens of thousands of craftsmen and civilians here not only had the opportunity to repair the damaged city wall, but also the Xuanlei battleship and another floating boat were able to take off, quickly transporting wounds, reinforcements and supplies between Beilingshu and Xinyan City.
At dusk, Wu Zhidong also followed the first batch of reinforcements to Xinyan City. There was also an old man with a clear face and wearing a python robe. He and Wu Zhidong stepped into the floating boat. Fu Shaoqun was excited to meet him and shouted: "Third Ancestor, when did you arrive at Yantai Pass?"
"I received the order from His Highness Lie. I went to the General's Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom in Yunluo City the day before yesterday to visit King Lie. Before I could even take a breath in Yunluo City, I heard the news of the demon soldiers' invasion south. I kept working hard. It was at noon that I rushed to Beilingsai to meet Wu Zhenshou and realized that you had repelled the demon soldiers, so I felt relieved."
"Mr. Chen, Lord Qin, this is the famous third ancestor of my Fu clan." Fu Shaoqun introduced Chen Hai, and Qin Qian met the old man in the python robe.
"Chen Hai, Qin Qian, pay homage to Fu Zu, the guardian." Chen Hai, Qin Qian stepped forward and bowed, and paid homage to the Qinglian Sword Immortal, the strongest man in the Fu family, and the elder of the Xuanyuan Palace, who served as the left chief of the Taiwei Mansion of Yongjing. Like Jiang Yin, he has been practicing for less than four thousand years, but his cultivation is even more than Fu Siyuan above Jiang Yin.
Fu Siyuan is not only a disciple of the Taishang, but is also regarded as one of the peerless powerful men who has the most hope to follow the Taishang after entering the upper three realms to seek the true immortal path of immortality.
"..." Fu Siyuan had already learned about the previous bloody battle before coming. He also looked at Chen Hai several times with great appreciation and said, "Okay, okay, you fought beautifully in this battle. King Lie learned that you had won a great victory and had just sent a letter to you. I want to ask for more merits."
"It's another matter to ask for a title for more merit. The Third Ancestor comes here. Does Your Highness want you to take charge of the four towns of Demon Gangling?" They won this battle with difficulty, blocking the strong attacks of several times the elite demons' elites with their own army to ensure that the defense line is not lost. Military achievements are bound to be indispensable, but Fu Shaoqun is more concerned about the Third Ancestor Fu Siyuan coming here and whether he was integrated by King Lie to command the troops of the four towns of Demon Gangling and Liyashan.
In fact, if the other two towns in Mozhanling used their own floating boats to transport four or five thousand elites and a large number of Taoist talismans and elixirs to Xinyan City, their casualties would never be so tragic. At this time, he felt that setting up a Great Protector's Mansion on Mozhanling and Liya Mountain, which truly held real power was even more important than King Lie personally taking charge of the General Mansion of the Northwest Region Pillar!
"I can only give your highness a military service this time, but the decision to establish the General Mansion of the Great Protector of Beizhen has been made. It is Ji Yuanpeng, the left chief of the Prince Lie Mansion, came to command the fourth army of Beizhen!" Fu Siyuan said.
