Chapter 435: The First Battle
The morning light lifted the last veil of darkness, and the grass blades on the grassland hung with the morning dew swaying in the wind, and it was another beautiful morning, but then countless pairs of animal skin combat boots stepped down heavily, trampling the verdant blades of grass.

Fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses, trampling on the soft grass, this time it was like the left vulture who was the vanguard general of the Kelie Department, sitting on top of the giant beast, looking at the Demon Ape City more than ten miles away with a gloomy face.
The army of the Kereb tribe came fiercely, and the scouts of the Iron Cliff Department all shrank behind the city wall, even if there were a few demon vultures flying in the air, reconnoitering the movements in the surrounding grasslands and mountains for dozens of miles, they did not dare to leave the sky above the demon ape city.
The desolate horn of "woo" sounded melodiously, and the elite soldiers of the Kereb Department stopped, divided into the left and right flanks, the front army, the middle army, and the rear formation, occupying a seventy or eighty meter-high mountain range opposite the Demon Ape City and setting up a formation......
"Brother Zuo Vulture, you were defeated by such a clan?"
A brute warrior with a similar appearance to the left eagle, pointed to the city wall that was so short that they could step over with their feet raised more than ten miles away, although it was more than ten miles away, but with their cultivation, they were about to go farther, and they could also see clearly the three-character seal script of "Demon Ape City" above the city gate hole, and asked in disbelief,
"In the past three months, such a high city wall has been built, this kind of inferior tribe that acts inefficiently can actually make you suffer such a big loss, and today I will help you take revenge!"
Listening to the noisy martial arts around him, Zuo Vulture looked displeased, pointed to the front and said: "Zuo Li, can you see that there is such a war on the grassland?" Zuo Vulture was frustrated at Silver Pebble Beach before, losing more than 2,000 elites, which is an indelible shame in his life, and even if he is short-tempered, he is still a famous veteran of the Kerebu Department, and he can calm down in the face of a strong opponent who humiliates him.
Zuo Li was arrogant, and looked at Zuo Vulture's fingers, only to see a series of trenches more than ten meters wide crisscrossing in front of the Demon Ape City, like the scars of the Dao Dao descended by the wrath of the gods engraved on the grass outside the Ape Jump Gorge.
Zuo Li is also a number of fierce generals in the Kereh Department, and has led his troops to attack Yanmen, Liangyong and other counties many times, knowing that digging a trench in front of the city wall is a means of defense for the cowardly human race, and then seeing that between the trench and the city wall, there are lower sheep horn earth walls, horses and other obstacles, they think of attacking the Demon Ape City, first of all, they must send troops and horses to rush up, over so many obstacles, in order to directly attack the city wall, but to do these things, it is impossible for the soldiers and horses of the Kereh Department to maintain a neat formation, and at the same time, they must also be exposed to the bows and arrows of the soldiers of the iron cliff department of the city wall.
Obviously he didn't expect to capture Demon Ape City today, and his so-called revenge for Zuo Vulture today was just a joke.
"These barbarians, how can they come out with so many crooked intestines?" Zuo Li said angrily, but he said that he was in front, and at this time, he could only bite the bullet and send his descendants into battle, and rush to Demon Ape City first, testing how strong the defense of Demon Ape City was.
At this moment a flock of crows was noisy, flying above the position between the two armies, expecting to devour the delicious meal that was coming.
Chen Hai stood at the head of the city, squinted his eyes and looked out, seeing the other party's military appearance, he was very bored, although the enemy army had fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses, but if he couldn't fill the trench and clear the barricades in time, and wanted to directly climb over this obstacle and rush to the foot of the city wall, what else could he expect from the two days of war?
Chen Hai wanted to pull Yao Wenjin back to the Blood Demon Gorge, instead of wasting time here, it was better to take this opportunity to instruct the craftsman battalion in the Blood Demon Gorge to build two more stone-throwing crossbows.
Tie Kun had not really commanded the battle to defend the city, so he was a little uneasy in his heart, and after hesitating, he still stopped Chen Hai.
At this moment, the enemy army in the distance began to move, and the demon barbarians in the column waved the blades in their hands, shouted the trumpet, and came towards the Demon Ape City.
It's just that the trenches have really created too many unnecessary obstacles for them, although with the use of their hands and feet, they are still approaching the Demon Ape City little by little, but they can't maintain a complete formation at all, and they have to put down the shield in their hands when they have time, so that they can climb out of the trench six or seven meters high.
Looking at the Kreh soldiers who were getting clearer and clearer in his field of vision, Tie Kun hesitated for a moment, and finally as they stepped through another trench, he gritted his teeth and waved his raised right hand fiercely.
The heralds around him were already nervous and about to collapse, after all, it was normal for demons and barbarians to kill each other, but refusing to defend the city was the first time in their lives for the barbarians of the Iron Cliff Department.
As a vassal of the Mengwu tribe, the Iron Cliff Department has never been qualified to build cities, and the Black Stone Khanate is a vassal tribe that dominates the layers of vassal tribes, and in the khanate, only tribes of the level of the Mengwu tribe are qualified to build cities in the depths of the grassland.
However, several herald barbarians still ran quickly to the sides of the city wall, conveying the order of Tiekun: "Throw a stone-throwing crossbow to shoot the enemy......"
The stone-throwing crossbow erected behind the city wall made the sound of "rubbing" the machine scraping and rubbing, and soon saw huge stone bullets thrown high into the air, drawing a graceful arc in the air, falling near the outermost trench and falling into the formation of the cavalry of the Kerebu army.
Lacking enough quenched iron, the stone-throwing crossbows made by the Iron Cliff Department can only be cast with fine-wrought iron, even so, more than a dozen counterweight-type stone-throwing crossbows can still throw hundreds of catties of stone bullets to three or four miles away.
Hundreds of pounds of stone bullets smashed into the battle formation of the Kereh tribe, rolled along the grassy slope to the foot of the mountain, and finally stuck in the valley of the two low mountains, although most of the barbarians dodged in time, but there were also twenty or thirty barbarians of the Kereh tribe, smashed into meat sauce by the stone bullets, or were quickly rolled by the stone bullets, injured, crushed, and broken limbs and bones.
The bright blood red on the ground made the soldiers of the Keree Department who dismounted and fought really feel the cruelty of the war, but the Hanhai man, how could he retreat from the battle, the barbarian general roared and gave the order, gathered the barbarians who were dodging the stone bullets scattered, and rushed to the trench in front of them again, but they were greeted by waves of stone bullets that were not dense, but endless.
And when the first wave of barbarians climbed over the low wall of sheep's horn only five hundred steps away from the main city wall, they did not need to be greeted by Tie Kun, and more than 1,000 archers deployed on the city wall by the Iron Cliff Department shot out the heavy iron cluster arrows in the quiver bag, and the two bed crossbows captured from the city of Yanzhou in the early days were shooting out the giant crossbow arrows like short spears like lightning.
The power of the bed crossbow is not slightly weaker than that of the heavy bullet crossbow, but the rate of fire is too slow.
Three auxiliaries operate a bed crossbow, even if it is cooked, it takes five or six breaths to shoot an arrow, and a heavy bullet crossbow can shoot sixty arrows in a breath time, which is where the power of the heavy bullet crossbow is really powerful to exert the power of the crossbow arrow with the forbidden animal power of the heavenly machine rune array.
Although the bows and weapons used by the Iron Cliff Department to defend the city can be said to be extremely simple compared to the Longxiang Army at this time, the armor of the soldiers charging from the Keree Department is even more rudimentary, and there are not even any weapons to assist in storming the city.
Zuo Li saw that the forward was frustrated, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, turned left and right a few times, gritted his teeth and headed towards Demon Ape City.
Zuo Vulture was about to stop him, but he stretched out his hand, and Zuo Li's step had already stepped out to a dozen or twenty zhang away, leaving Zuo Li's two footprints deep in the stone ground.
Zuo Vulture, as the main general of the forward army, could not leave behind the 20,000 forward soldiers at will, but he thought that the enemy army was digging a trench in front of the city wall, while limiting his own impact, he contained his own counterattack, and Zuo immediately took the lead and rushed to the front, even if he could not make any achievements, but with his martial bravery, no one in the Iron Cliff Department could compete except for Tie Kun, and he believed that his life should be worry-free.
Zuo Vulture sent more than a thousand soldiers to rush over to help Zuo Li test how strong the defense of Demon Ape City was, and he didn't necessarily order Zuo Li to come back.
The soldiers and auxiliaries in the Demon Ape City, although most of them have experienced the first battle in their lives, they are still in order.
It's just that because the stone-throwing crossbows are all newly built and there are no machine-scraped parts of sufficient strength, many stone-throwing crossbows will die down after two or three cycles, and even if they don't fall apart directly, they can't operate normally.
Zuo Li held a huge shield, directly blocking a stone bullet weighing two or three hundred catties, with a loud bang, the stone bullet was smashed by the giant shield, but with Zuo Li's divine power of tens of thousands of catties, the blood vessels and skin of his left arm were still so powerful that the unimaginable huge force was shocked and burst out, and blood overflowed, dyeing his armour red.
However, Zuo Li quickly mastered the skill of resisting stone bullets, that is, when the stone bullets were about to hit the giant shield, he shook the giant shield like lightning at a faster speed, in addition to shattering the stone bullets more neatly, it can also effectively reduce his own shock damage, but like him, a fierce general who can directly hold the shield to resist heavy stone bullets, there is no one in the entire forward department who can compare.
However, Zuo Li also noticed that the stone bullets thrown over were gradually thinning, guessing that it should be the stone-throwing crossbow made by the Iron Cliff Department was too watery, he was overjoyed, raised his arms and exhaled, and the two thousand elites behind him swarmed towards the city wall that could almost jump over.
The height of the city wall of Demon Ape City is actually very embarrassing, in such a short period of time, it is already very fast to be able to build to a height of more than five meters, but in the eyes of the demon barbarians with an average height of more than two meters, it is nothing more than a vertical leap thing, and there is no need to even build additional ladders.
However, although the walls of Demon Ape City were not high, the width of the top was about twenty meters, wide enough for the soldiers of the Iron Cliff to stand in groups of fifteen on the city walls, waiting for the enemy to jump onto the walls and fall into their nets.
Although the soldiers and horses led by Zuo Li are the elite of the Kereh Department, but the soldiers who are waiting on the city wall are also the elite soldiers of the Iron Cliff Department. Giant Shield, if he wants to rely on his own martial arts, defeat the three teams of Iron Cliff brute soldiers who were outflanked from the left and right and front, and kill more space, so that the generals of his own formation can gather around him, and finally gain a foothold under this city wall, and then expand the range little by little, until finally suppress the barbarians of the Iron Cliff Department and take this section of the city wall.
Zuo Li's calculation is good, but everything must be based on his invincible martial arts, he saw a Terran man who didn't know where to drill out, looked at the eyesore, and smashed it with a hammer, wanting to smash this old Terran slave into meat sauce.
The Terran man raised his hand to protect his face in horror, and Zuo Li smiled fiercely, thinking that this was just to make this Terran less frightened before he died, but the quenching giant hammer he smashed out seemed to be grabbed by an invisible giant hand in the next moment, and he didn't move at all.
Zuo Li was shocked, although he didn't use any strength, but this quenching giant hammer weighed more than 1,200 catties, even if it was put down slowly, it was enough to press the Terran man in front of him into meat sauce, how could he not move at all?
"You brute, you actually bullied me an old man who is about to enter the ground, it's really rude, it seems that it won't work if I don't teach you a lesson. Cang Yi scolded angrily, holding the giant hammer with one hand, and grabbing it to Zuo Li with the other, Ren Zuo felt that this human man stretched out his skinny hand, like a huge mountain, and pressed towards him.
"Roar!" Zuo Li was willing to be controlled by others, roared and raised the giant shield in his left hand, his entire left arm was shining with golden light, and the surging power surged to the giant shield, and smashed angrily at this Terran man again, he mainly wanted to seal the hand of the Terran man who grabbed his left flank.
"Hey, it's a bit of a way!" Cang Yi smiled, stretched out his left hand, suddenly turned a corner, and still grabbed the left flank of the left side as usual, but at this time Cang Yi stood still in place, his left arm stretched like a noodle, and he turned freely.
Seeing that Cangyi's left hand could be stretched out at will in an instant, such a powerful change supernatural power, in the Xuan Cultivation of the Terran Sect, at least he was also the peak powerhouse of the Dao Dan Realm, Zuo Li couldn't understand why there was a top powerhouse of the human race, hiding in the barbarians of the Iron Cliff Department.
It was useless for Zuo Li to think about it, his huge body had already been captured by Cang Yi.
Cang Yi grabbed Zuo Li, and threw it towards Chen Hai, who was standing beside Tie Kun: "Senior brother, give you this great gift, I will call it a day today......
Seeing this scene, Tie Kun was also shocked, the rough man Chen Hai brought back a month ago thought that he was an ordinary elite member of the Long Xiang Army, but he didn't expect to have such terrifying strength, you must know that he is not confident that he will be able to defeat a fierce general like Zuo Li at this time.
Tie Kun was afraid that Chen Hai's thin body bones at this time would be smashed by Zuo Li's huge body from more than two hundred steps away, and it would be smashed into meat sauce, and he took a step out of the side, and with a wave of the halberd in his hand, the sevenfold halberd slashed towards Zuo Li, who was smashed from mid-air.
Zuo Li relied on his own martial arts and bravery, charging into battle, and only used a quenched gold shield to resist the arrows and stones in front of him, and did not have the habit of wearing battle armor - this was mainly because he could not find a suitable battle armor for him, and it was really expensive to grow tall - he was thrown into the air by Cang Yi, although he was separated from Cang Yi's hands, but there were more than a dozen invisible ropes that bound him strongly, and he could only watch the seven halberds crash into his body without any failure......
No matter how strong Zuo Li's body is, as long as he does not surpass the mortal body, he can't resist the sharpness of the halberd, not to mention that he is still trapped by the immortal bundle of the relics.
Such a strong and brave general of the Kerebu was chopped into countless pieces and scattered from the air.
The soldiers who jumped on the city wall or rushed to the foot of the city wall, seeing this scene, were in disbelief, their hearts were shaken, and when they hesitated, dozens of people were beheaded to death, and then they fled back in horror.
"Zuo Li!" Zuo Vulture roared in grief when he saw this scene, he didn't expect that in addition to Tie Kun, the Iron Cliff Department was obviously such a terrifying powerhouse, he shouldn't have let Zuo Li break into the enemy formation so recklessly......
