Chapter 9: The Bitter Battle

In Zhao Yi's eyes, the world is dark red.

A wisp of black energy wafted from the body of each dead beast and converged into a black vortex in the sky.

With the blessing of systematic spells, Zhao Yi saw the essence of these black qi clearly.

This is his bad karma, to be precise, the bad karma that the willow tree has accumulated for thousands of years.

Becoming an immortal is a detachment, whether it is the virtue of this life or the evil consequences of the previous life, it will eventually become a shackle that binds the self.

If a living being wants to be free, it needs to settle its own cause and effect with the world.

But the cycle of cause and effect is not something that can be ended by saying that it is over.

This requires a carrier to undertake that cause and effect, and to eliminate that cause and effect with one's own death, which is commonly known as a substitute for death.

In other words, the Heavenly Tribulation transferred all the bad karma accumulated by the willow tree, which had lived for thousands of years, to the beasts.

Today's herd is the result of the willow tree's thousand-year-old evil.

The process of stopping and killing the herd is a process of ending the bad karma of the willow tree.

"The Orcs have inherited my evil causes, but what about the Terrans?

Under Zhao Yi's observation, a soldier who was entangled by a monkey and fell from the city wall, and after his death, his body floated out a wisp of red gas and sank into the ground, which immediately confirmed his guess.

Becoming an immortal is detached, to put it bluntly, it is to transfer one's cause and effect to sentient beings, so that they can suffer for themselves.

The so-called road is dry, but that's it.

Zhao Yi, who was standing by the city wall, but was ignored by all living beings, looked at the two sides of the big battle and realized.

At this moment, he realized that this Heavenly Tribulation was not his business alone at all, but a test of Heavenly Dao for all living beings.

After that, the world will be able to have immortals of this level, and from then on, the world will also be able to usher in a prosperous era of cultivation.

"What a fucking mission!"

Although it was a complaint, the corners of Zhao Yi's mouth couldn't stop rising.

Seeing through the essence of the Heavenly Tribulation, Zhao Yi naturally understood the difference between the first immortal and the later immortal.

Changing it to a cultivation term, it is for him to open up a new realm for this world, and later people can only follow the path he opened.

It's no wonder that the Heavenly Dao of this world cares so much about the willow tree.

Emotional willow is the key to promotion in the world!

It's just a pity that he has been played to death by the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Otherwise, how can this kind of great opportunity have its own share.

While lamenting the death of the willow tree, Zhao Yi couldn't help laughing.

Looking at the two clans fighting together, Zhao Yi had no intention of helping, so he put his body into the system space again and left directly.

He knew that although he was the origin of the Heavenly Tribulation, the protagonists were the Beast Tide and the Human Race, and no matter which side left the scene early, it would make the subsequent Thunder Tribulation earlier.

With his current nearly four-digit Wish Power reserves, he still felt too risky against the Thunder Tribulation.

Therefore, there is no intention to accelerate the progress of the catastrophe.

Anyway, time is on his side, and the longer the war drags on, the better it will be for him.

......

After Zhao Yi left, the war continued.

As more and more monkeys climbed the walls, the guards became overwhelmed.

Some people were pulled off the wall by the monkeys, and some were bitten by the monkeys carelessly, but fortunately, the defense of the escort team was not breached, and the archers were still safe.

"Roll the Stones!"

Under the walls, the vibrations on the walls became more and more intense as the horned beasts continued to hit the walls.

You must know that there were no architectural artifacts like cement in this period, and the walls were built with a mixture of mud, but they were not so strong, and they were hit by so many beasts that were comparable in size to cars.

There were already several cracks in the walls.

Wang Feng knew that he couldn't let the horned beasts under the city walls collide anymore, and if he let the horned beasts under the city go so well, it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

And at this time, a phalanx of horned beasts rushed out of the herd of beasts outside the city again, and the number was no less than the first batch.

At the same time, a new flock of birds joined, and Luoyang City fell into darkness again in an instant.

"What! There are hidden soldiers!?"

Seeing the second batch of horned beasts appearing, Wang Feng's face changed greatly.

He had observed the size of the herd before the battle, and all of his battle plans were based on this.

It's not that Wang Feng has no other means to deal with it, it's just that this war is a reserve, and now if you consume a little more hole cards, you will have less confidence in the back.

But judging from the current situation, if you don't increase your troops on your side, then Luoyang City is likely to be in danger of being breached.

Just when Wang Feng hesitated to reinforce him, he suddenly discovered that this horned beast was abnormal.

You must know that when the first batch of horned beasts launched an attack, they were charging over with countless arrow rains, and if they were slow, they would fall to the ground at any time, but these horned beasts actually jogged over, and they didn't seem to be afraid of the arrow rain of the defenders of Luoyang City.

There must be a reason for such a big anomaly, and suddenly Wang Feng remembered the direction from which their convoy came.

It is more than ten miles away from Luoyang City, and then over a small hill is the woods.

Except there, there is no place around Luoyang City where so many horned beasts can be hidden, after all, the food of horned beasts is there.

In other words, this horned beast has just arrived from more than ten miles away!

Realizing this, Wang Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this horned beast was just here to support the scene and put pressure on them, and it would not really attack the city.

Because in the current state of this horned beast, they would not have the strength to hit them even if they were given close to the city wall.

No commander with a little intelligence would send such troops to attack the city.

"Deal with the flock of birds and monkeys on the city wall first!"

Although the second group of horned beasts will not join the siege, the flock of birds they can bring is a real help.

Without the interception of fishing nets, the flock easily rushed into the phalanx of soldiers, making the soldiers on the city wall covered in bird feathers.

In particular, the archers in the rear were intensively cared for, surrounded by dense flocks of birds.

Wang Feng could only order to deal with these obstructive things first.

The soldiers on the city wall ignored the horned beasts under the city wall for the time being, and gathered in a combination of several teams to clear the two groups of monkeys and birds.

That's when you can see the difference between a veteran and a new recruit.

Most of the recruits are armed with long knives, and when faced with flexible targets such as monkeys and birds, not only do they waste their strength, but they also can't cut each other, so they can only be passively tossed.

The veterans are different, most of them like to hold daggers and broken stabs, and stab them directly when they catch something.

A veteran can kill a dead body in a matter of moments.

As for the monkeys, they will be caught and intercepted by countless squads, and sooner or later they will also be caught and fall into the footsteps of the birds.

It didn't take long for the walls to be strewn with corpses, and the sound of bones being trampled with every step could be seen.

However, the two groups of monkeys and birds, who seemed to have suffered heavy casualties, disrupted the arrangement of the defenders of Luoyang City, making it impossible for the defenders of Luoyang City to continue shooting arrows and throwing rolling stones.

They've already won.

There is no way to do this, the number of birds is far from being predictable, and the prepared fishing nets can only cope with one round of attacks, and then there is still no good way for these fast-moving, large groups of Wang Feng.

Woooooo

Just as the soldiers were working together to clear the walls of the city from the flocks of birds and monkeys, the trumpet suddenly sounded.

Then I saw more than a dozen fireballs flying out of Luoyang City, jumping over the city wall, and accurately landing in the phalanx of horned beasts rushing from behind, exploding a cluster of firelight.

This sudden attack was obviously unexpected, and the second group of horned beasts stopped in place after a commotion, and did not dare to move forward.

"Damn, who ordered the catapult to be used!?"

Seeing this unique attack, Wang Feng knew that it was the catapult in the rear that had done it, and instead of being happy, he was angry.

Let's not talk about the horned beasts in the rear, they won't really attack Luoyang City.

Let's just say that the role of this catapult is okay to attack the city and pull out the village, and if the city is defended, it is used to fight the mobile fortress of the Chuxiong chariot.

There is only one role in this kind of war against the beast tide, and that is to snipe the demon king.

And it can only catch the demon king off guard, once the demon king is on guard, the catapult will be useless.

Therefore, before the war, he told him that the catapult could only be used when the location of the demon king was discovered!

But now that the demon king's hair hasn't been seen, the catapult has been used, which makes Wang Feng not angry.

And don't look at the momentum caused by the dozen or so fireballs just now, Wang Feng dared to pack a ticket, if the wave of stone-throwing just now could kill more than ten horned beasts, then his name would come over and read it!

If it weren't for the wrong time, Wang Feng would have wanted to cut down that fool who used a catapult right now!

Sure enough, after the catapult projected a round, they were immediately targeted by a flock of birds, and the flock of birds hovering over the city wall instantly emptied and rushed towards the place where the fireball was shot, and at the same time, the monkey flock also began to break through that side.

The flock of birds that swarmed first left the catapult without even a chance to make a second throw.

"Damn! What a rice bucket! Don't pass the monkeys! The archers will line up and release arrows for me! The convoys will throw rolling stones at me. ”

Seeing that the catapult couldn't even parry the flocks of birds, Wang Feng was even more angry, and dared to use the catapult on the beasts without even a little preparation.

It must be that the big family came out and didn't run away.

Wang Feng had already figured out how to concoct that fool.

The departure of a large number of birds greatly reduced the pressure on the city walls.

Although Wang Feng was annoyed by his teammates' behavior of wasting hole cards, he would not waste the opportunity created by the catapult at this point.

With the rain of arrows reappearing, and a large number of rolling stones falling, the horned beasts under the city wall were hit again, either falling to the ground by arrows or falling by rolling stones.

In a short period of time, the situation was controlled by Wang Feng and moved back.

However, the herd did not intend to stop there.

In this stalemate, the other side once again sent a herd phalanx.

There are not many of them, only a few hundred, but they make Wang Feng's expression change greatly.

It's just because the beasts are actually tigers this time!

Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the tigers is needless to say, let alone a group.

Wang Feng decisively ordered a concentrated fire attack.

But the demon king is not stupid, it is impossible to let the tigers sacrifice like this, and directly let the second group of horned beasts open the way for them and block the arrows.

With the resistance of the horned beasts, the damage of the rain of arrows to the tigers is not obvious.

Seeing that the tigers were constantly approaching the city wall, Wang Feng frowned a little, and the behavior of the beasts made him a little unpredictable.

It's hard to entangle the tigers, but with these hundreds of people attacking the city, it's no different from giving away people's heads.

Since he couldn't guess the other party's thoughts, Wang Feng was fortunate to have a horizontal heart, and directly came to show the enemy weakness, to see the other party's reaction, and did not increase reinforcements, but ordered the bed crossbow to join in.

This is undoubtedly a practice of tearing down the east wall and making up for the west wall.

Without the restraint of the bed crossbow, the horned beasts under the city wall are even more fierce, and the impact on the city wall becomes more and more ferocious.

Compared to the horned beasts, the tiger herd is undoubtedly more threatening.

With the addition of the bed crossbow, although it was not possible to quickly deal with the tigers, it also greatly delayed their attack speed.

Wang Feng was not idle when Duan Zheng came, leaving only a few people responsible for the safety of the archers.

The rest of the convoy was sent by him to throw the rolling stones, because when the tigers approached them, they would not have a chance to throw them again.

It didn't take long for all the rolling stones on the city wall to be thrown, and Wang Feng immediately withdrew the ineffective escort and replaced it with a pikeman with a standard spear of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Not long after the pikemen assembled, a tiger rushed to the bottom of the wall, and with the help of the carcasses of the horned beasts piled up under the wall, it easily climbed to the top of the wall.

The pikemen, who had been prepared, did not give it a chance to stand firm.

As soon as the tiger was half exposed, the pikemen attacked, and more than a dozen spears pierced deep into the tiger's body.

No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free, and could only die alive on the city wall.

The first kill went well, but the appearance of this tiger was only the beginning.

Other tigers climbed up one after another under the walls, despite the pikemen's best efforts.

But the vitality of the tiger is too tenacious, and with the tips of dozens of guns, the tiger group forcibly tore a gap, disrupting the siege of the spear army.

For a moment, several tigers safely climbed the city wall and confronted the pikemen.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The standoff lasted for a moment, and the tigers attacked first.

These tigers have unusual IQs, and they can cooperate with each other while attacking separately.

In the face of more than ten times the encirclement and suppression of the pikemen, he was still able to gain the upper hand, pressing the array of pikemen and constantly retreating, so that more tigers could successfully climb the city wall.

Other tigers who climb the walls can quickly join them, resisting the steady stream of Terran soldiers on either side.

The two sides began to fight for turf in a short time.

The goal of the rampaging tiger group was very clear, and they didn't even cover up, they just went directly to the bed crossbows on the high ground and the archers in the rear.

Thus, it is obvious that the tiger pack split into two lines, trying to break through the defenses of the pikemen.

However, at this time, Wang Feng's attention is not on the side of the tiger group, the current tiger group seems to be fierce, but without backup, they are destined to only be able to succeed in a momentary majesty, and when the strength of the tiger group is exhausted, death is only a matter of time.

Now Wang Feng is more concerned about the movements of the beasts outside the city, he doesn't think that the beasts are sending these hundreds of tigers to deliver food, and he may be holding back some big moves.

At the same time, he was praying that the number of beasts sent by the herd would not be too large.

Otherwise, he can't defend it with his troops, so he needs to use other forces to support.

This undoubtedly shows that his Wang Feng's ability to transfer troops is not good.

But things often turn out unexpectedly.

While the tigers and pikemen were entangled on the city wall, the entire herd of beasts moved and began to slowly press towards Luoyang City.

That's a lot bigger than the formation of thousands of horned beasts running, because the number of beasts that set off this time is more than 100,000!

"Quickly take out the tigers!

Although he knew that this might be a temptation from the beast herd, Wang Feng still didn't dare to be careless, because on a battlefield of this scale, the temptation would turn into a real attack at any time.

With Wang Feng's order, and the Beast Dynasty outside the city with no end in sight, the other troops also felt the pressure, stopped watching the show, and joined the battlefield one after another.

More than a dozen soldiers in full-body armor and a huge shield that was tall formed a wall and rushed towards the tigers.

Everywhere they passed, the tigers were directly knocked back.

Then the other shields quickly close and lock the tiger as it pushes backwards.

At this point, the spearmen's spears will pierce through the gaps in their shields, instantly piercing their targets into holes.

After a few rounds, the rest of the tigers knew that the shield could not be resisted and wanted to jump over the encircled shield.

But someone was already waiting for them to do so, and the moment they jumped, several iron cables were shot out of the crowd, and the barbs at the top of the ropes could easily pierce their bodies.

Being entangled in this kind of iron rope, the result is naturally needless to say, if you are lucky, you can still be captured alive, and the rest are more often dismembered on the spot by the soldiers who rush up.

As for the archers and bed crossbows that dealt with Luoyang City, this was a joke at first, and the demon kings of the beast herd did not expect them to complete it at all.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

As the fighting on the city wall stopped, the large army of beasts outside the city wall that was slowly approaching Luoyang City also stopped, more than a thousand meters away from Luoyang City, a distance that could not be touched by a bed crossbow.

The two sides of the battle confronted each other like this, perhaps because the catapult was exposed on the side of Luoyang City, and even at this time, the demon king still did not appear.

Wang Feng, who had been observing for a long time, felt a little regretful, and felt that he had missed an opportunity to kill his opponent.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

As the two sides confronted each other, a murderous aura began to brew.

The beasts outside the walls kept roaring at the people on the walls, as if they had some deep hatred.

If it weren't for the suppression of the demon king, they would have already charged.

This gave Wang Feng a strange feeling, as if these beasts were not here to deal with the willow trees of the Lu family, but to seek revenge on them.

This is naturally the handiwork of the Heavenly Dao of this world, but no one can find out except Zhao Yi.

"Pass the order, and show the momentum of those guys outside the city. ”

Although he felt that something was wrong, Wang Feng didn't take it to heart, seeing that his opponent was so arrogant, he naturally couldn't weaken his own momentum.

And how could he let go of such a good opportunity to boost morale.

After a while, there was a neat shouting and killing sound from Luoyang City, and the sound was higher and higher, directly overpowering the chaotic roars of beasts.

Seeing this, a certain guy in the dark sighed secretly, knowing that the morale of Luoyang City at this time was greatly shaken, and they had lost the opportunity to attack, so he decisively ordered a retreat.

In this way, a sudden human-beast war broke out and drew the first comma.
