Chapter 576: The Devil Strikes
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, just as the Rat King expected, Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang, Ye Min, Tie Jian and others rushed back from the immortal journey, and after the journey of the immortal journey, everyone at this time has made great progress in terms of strength, willpower, combat experience, etc., and quietly showed a detachment of temperament that only the strong have, and Xia Yucheng, Nanmen Liang and others, who were elders, were happy to see it.
The arrival of Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang and others undoubtedly made Xuanyuan Feng more confident in going out to Anjin City, and the generals led a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses to go out according to the plan.
Xuanyuan Feng, Rat King, Xia Yucheng led the army to march quickly, only for two days, and suddenly received a hundred thousand urgent from Ming City, it turned out that the demon thieves in the demon territory were in trouble again, they were obviously fully prepared for this time, compared to the previous small fight, this time it can be said that it is a heavy attack, and there are thousands of demon troops with good strength alone, you must know that these demon monsters are not idle, they are brutal and bloodthirsty, and the demon clan is born with thick skin and meat, and the physical endowment is much stronger than that of ordinary humans, which shows how difficult it is to resist themγ
The re-attack of Lei Gu, Tong Shun, and Wu Yan shocked Xuanyuan Feng and the others, and they also caught them off guard, they originally wanted to take Anjin City directly to get rid of the demon King of Ten Thousand Spirits, but unexpectedly, the backyard caught fire, and the attack of the demon clan completely disrupted their plans.
The generals hurriedly discussed how to deal with it, in view of the menacing demon clan, and the defenders of Mingcheng were transferred out in large numbers, this is the time to guard against emptiness, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts whether they can defend the city.
After a period of urgent consultation, everyone decided to divide the army into two routes, one army led by Xuanyuan Feng, Rat King, Xia Yucheng, their goal is still Anjin City, and the other is to send 10,000 soldiers and horses back to Mingcheng, this road of soldiers and horses led by Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang, Tie Jian and others, they first returned to Anjin City to meet with Nanmen Liang, and then tried every means to resist the attacking demon army.
The discussion has been decided, Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang and others quickly set off with troops and horses, after the baptism of many major battles and the experience of immortals, it is not difficult for them to lead a team of soldiers and horses, and Xuanyuan Feng, Xia Yucheng and others are also relieved and bold to hand over the heavy responsibility to their shoulders.
Everyone rushed all the way, and quickly rushed back to Wangxi City to meet with Nanmen Liang, at this time, Nanmen Liang of course knew the news of the demon army's attack on Mingcheng, he had already gathered thousands of soldiers and horses to prepare to rush to Mingcheng with Yi Qingfeng and others, due to the urgency of time, the army even only stayed outside the city for about two hours before hurriedly marching towards Mingcheng.
However, it is said that the attack of the demon army has made Mingcheng panic, especially as the city lord Xuanyuan Feng and a large number of troops are not in the city, which makes the soldiers and civilians in the city feel as if they have lost their backbone, but fortunately, there are still many benevolent and righteous people in Mingcheng as a big city who came forward at a critical time, including Wu Renliang, Mu Qianqian and Cui Yan, who came to participate in the four-city martial arts meeting and won the first place, they have stayed in Mingcheng since they participated in the four-city martial arts meeting, so they also caught up with this demon attack.
In addition to the three of them, many righteous people in the rivers and lakes, including Sheng Qingzhu, the head of Yipin Mountain Villa, also spontaneously organized to resist the demons. On this day, the righteous soldiers in the city went out of the city under the leadership of the defender Ji Lin to contain the demon troops, and their strength was around 2,000, among which in addition to some of the defenders in the city, more were heroes from various sects.
Since the demon army has arrived on the outskirts of Mingcheng, only dozens of miles away from Mingcheng, and the guards in the city are empty, if the demon army is allowed to drive straight in, the possibility of Mingcheng being lost is very great, so the task of Ji Lin, Sheng Qingzhu, Wu Renliang and others is to drag the demon troops until Xuanyuan Feng leads the army back to solve the urgent need.
This heavy responsibility of the troops quickly rushed to a dangerous place on the way that the enemy army must pass, in the face of the unfavorable situation of the enemy being outnumbered, as the leader Ji Lin, Sheng Qingzhu, Wu Renliang and others urgently discussed the battle plan, Ji Lin said: "Everyone, our task this time is to delay as much time as possible, if it is not the best strategy to fight head-on with the demon army, the enemy has the advantage of strength, and hard fighting is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, Ji thought that harassment tactics should be adopted, as long as the enemy army can be mobilized so that they cannot directly attack Mingcheng." β
Sheng Qingzhu, Wu Renliang and others had no disagreement, Ji Lin said: "Since everyone agrees, then we will divide the army into three ways, Sheng Zhangmen led his disciples and all the way to attack the right side of the enemy, Wu Shaoxia, Mu Nuxia and Ji Nuxia led a road to attack the left side of the enemy, Ji led a road to attack the enemy in the middle, we are determined to contain the enemy in this vast mountain after all, the enemy army is not familiar with the place after all, as long as we don't fight hard with the enemy, it is not a problem to delay for some time." β
The plan was decided, and the generals divided into three directions, among which Wu Renliang, Mu Qianqian, and Cui Yan led 500 soldiers and horses to prepare to attack the left side of the enemy. The three of them are all divine powers, if you talk about the ability to fight alone, even if they meet the demon leader, they have the power to fight, and the five hundred soldiers and horses under their hands are basically all with some kung fu in their hands, and some are even martial artists who have been working hard in the martial arts arena all year round, and their strength is better than that of an ordinary sergeant.
Wu Renliang, Mu Qianqian, and Cui Yan led this elite army to ambush on a hill and wait for the arrival of the demon army. When the mighty demon army appeared in the eyes, everyone was shocked, only to see that there were all kinds of demons in the army, some dragged long tails, some were covered with spikes, some were only two or three meters tall, and some were extremely muscular, which was much more ferocious than the tiger and leopard.
Such a demon army makes everyone who is a warrior inevitably a little frightened, but the cold is cold, and everyone does not plan to retreat because of this, as a warrior, they all have a resolute heart, even if they meet a strong opponent, they will not be easily defeated.
As the leader, Wu Renliang, Mu Qianqian, and Cui Yan did not have the slightest fear on their faces, they stared intently at the approaching demon troops, and the true qi in their bodies secretly urged, as long as the enemy army entered the attack range, they would be greeted by the merciless blows of many warriors.
After only a while, the demon troops entered the attack range, Mu Qianqian took the lead, the bow in his hand was shining with golden light, and several sharp arrows wrapped in terrifying aura shot towards the demon array like lightning, and the demon who was caught off guard was shot squarely, and several demons were shot to the ground on the spot.
At the same time, Wu Renliang, Cui Yan and a group of warriors also launched attacks one after another, only to see the dense attacks surging out like a tide, the demon army was beaten a little dizzy in a short time, after a panic, they quickly organized their troops to fight back, because Wu Renliang and others condescended to occupy a geographical advantage, the demon troops had to use their skills to attack the hillside, these demon monsters were extremely fast, it was impossible to suppress them under the hillside for a long time, and the two sides soon launched hand-to-hand combat on the hillside.
Just after Wu Renliang, Mu Qianqian and others led the army to fire the first shot, the Ji Lin troops in the middle and the Sheng Qingzhu troops on the right also fought one after another, and the demon army had to be divided into three ways to resist the sudden attack from three directions.
