Chapter 712: Battle (2)
Although the huge roar formed by the heavy crossbow arrow array could not reach far and had long since dissipated in the wind, the action of Han Sanyuan and the others, as well as the magic weapons and magic circles such as the Fire Raven Chariot, stirred the vitality of heaven and earth, and the huge fluctuations had already spread outward.
The more than a dozen newly built military fortresses north of the Demon Deer Ridge have been deployed with communication and monitoring arrays to form a monitoring network for the vast wasteland north of the Demon Deer Ridge and the area around Tianluo Valley.
The attack on Biansai is a top priority, and the military attache on duty at Yantai Pass who is guarding the Great Array of Shadows and Shadows, after confirming the attack on Beilingsai, did not dare to be careless at all, and directly sent someone to find Changshi Wu Xu to report the attack on Beilingsai.
Wu Xu was cultivating in the quiet room, not in a hurry to let people alarm Jiang Mingchuan, but took a few guards to the enemy platform where the Tracing Light and Shadow Array was located.
Due to the fact that the construction of the outpost fortress north of the Demon Deer Ridge was not intensive, and at such a long distance, the Shadow Shadow Array can only roughly restore the scale and rough picture of the attack on the Beiling Fortress through the fluctuation of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, so it is impossible to tell whether it is the demon soldiers who sneak attack the Beiling Fortress or the horse thieves who are a nuisance.
Wu Xu looked at the blurred picture presented on the retrospective round screen, and said dissatisfiedly: "I thought it was a big deal, I thought it was a large-scale invasion of the demon race." You can handle this little movement yourself, and you still need to go out of your way to alarm me?"
The military general in charge of the Tracing Light Shadow Array knew very well that there had been no large-scale demon soldiers attacking from the north of Tianluo Valley recently, and even from the blurred picture and other signs, he judged that it was likely that the elite horse thieves who were wandering through the wasteland attacked Beiling, and seeing Wu Xu's indifferent look, he hesitated to send someone to Tongyu to guard the general Jiang Mingchuan.
Wu Xu saw the appearance of that person, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of essence, and said unhappily: "If you are worried about anything, then send someone to invite the town guard general to come over, and everything will be handled by the town guard general." ”
"What's going on?" Jiang Mingchuan arrived uninvited at this time.
Although his cultivation divine sense could only sense the breath from three hundred miles away, but with such a big movement on the side of Beilingsai, it was impossible for him not to feel it at all, and he was alarmed from the hidden cultivation, and specially sent to the enemy prison platform to see what was going on in the north, but he didn't expect Wu Xu to be here.
"Beilingsai may have encountered an enemy attack," Wu Xu said quietly, "Now I can't figure out whether it was a tentative attack by a small group of spirit demon soldiers, or a passing horse thief who took advantage of the emptiness of Beilingsai's defense and wanted to rob a handful of goods—I plan to send Wu Ping to lead two thousand elite cavalry to Beilingsai at night to reinforce it, and I was about to send someone to ask you for instructions from the town guard general." ”
Wu Xu said it well, Jiang Mingchuan squinted at the blurry picture presented by the light tracer round mirror, and he didn't know whether it was a small group of elite demon soldiers raiding or a horse thief crossing the border.
Of course, Yantai Pass has a floating warship, which can carry more than 10,000 elites, and it only takes an hour to rush to Beilingsai for reinforcements, but if the small group of elite demon soldiers attacking Beilingsai at this time is just a bait sent by the demons, there are more powerful elite demon soldiers in ambush in the depths of the wasteland north of Beilingsai, and they may fall into the trap of the demons if they hastily send out floating warships at this time.
In fact, this is also the main reason why Wu Xu and others objected to building a single outpost at such a distance into the wasteland some time ago.
Jiang Mingchuan looked at Wu Xu's expression, probably waiting for him to order the sending of floating warships to reinforce him, so he directly objected, and muttered slightly: "It's okay for Wu Ping to lead two thousand elite cavalry reinforcements, but you have to let Wu Ping know that if he dares to avoid the enemy, he won't be able to catch up with Beilingsai within five hours, be careful that I take the army to rule him!"
Jiang Mingchuan thought in his heart at this time that if Jiang Yuwei couldn't even hold up the surprise attack of a small group of elite demon soldiers or the disturbance of the passing horse thieves for five hours, it would not be worth him to bet too many chips, but he didn't expect that the two horse thieves who attacked Beilingsai at this time were Wu Xu's audacity and collusion, that is, to kill Jiang Yuwei and them, and at the same time stillborn his plan to expand north.
Jiang Mingchuan and Wu Xu signed the military order at the same time, and Wu Ping, who served as the cloud cavalry captain in the Yantai Pass Army, received the military order, and without the slightest delay, he ordered two thousand black Jiaojing horsemen, and rushed towards Beilingsai in the wind and snow.
***************
For the first time, the heavy crossbow showed its hideous fangs under the Yantai Pass, and shocked these horse thieves who had been licking blood all day long.
Even Han Sanyuan and Sha Tianhe were stagnant in their movements, but they didn't expect that the strength of Beiling Sai was stronger than they expected, and the fifty battle crossbows could form such a dense rain of arrows, and the power was not even under the top-level Heavenly Rank Dao Talisman.
You must know that the four-pillar demon punishment array can also form dense vertical and horizontal sword qi, almost every twenty breaths can form three thousand golden blade sword qi, or form one hundred Gengjin sword qi, which is a powerful means to resist the intensive attack of a strong enemy, but the attack strength formed by these fifty crossbows just now is almost more than four times the attack of the sword qi of the four-pillar demon killing array.
Han Sanyuan was also a little dumbfounded at this moment, they organized this wave of offensives, and the protection in front of the two thousand horse thieves was deployed according to twice the upper limit of the sword qi attack strength of the four-pillar demon punishment array, but they didn't expect that they would be directly pierced by the heavy crossbow arrow array in a surprise manner.
If there was no strong attack before, Han Sanyuan and they could naturally withdraw and make another plot, but two or three hundred corpses were scattered under the Beiling Fortress, and four chariots that had been saved with great difficulty were completely destroyed.
Han Sanyuan turned around and glanced at Sha Tianhe, the two of them cultivated in the fetal realm, and they didn't know how many times they had done the robbery of the house, and they could see that the batch of war crossbows prepared by Beilingsai was extremely powerful, but it was not completely without means to deal with it.
Seeing that the group of thieves reorganized their formation and attacked in three directions, Jiang Ze's side also adjusted the defensive deployment, dividing the fifty bodies holding heavy crossbows into three and putting them on guard.
These two horse thieves, the proportion of elite bandits in the Spirit Realm is extremely high, once they scatter and attack, especially most of them have long-range offensive spirit swords and magic weapons in their hands, and they also hold a large number of defensive talismans, and fifty heavy crossbows cannot form a dense rain of arrows covering the offensive surface that is several miles wide, and the power is quickly suppressed.
This is mainly due to the limited strength of the Beiling Sai, if you don't know that Chen Hai and Jiang Ze can send troops to block the two wings, and concentrate the heavy crossbows on one road, inflicting heavy losses on the attacking enemy.
At this time, Sha Tianhe and Han Sanyuan also exchanged opponents with each other, and Han Sanyuan destroyed the Spirit Sword Formation, and went to the Xuanjin puppet to entangle him.
Although Chen Hai couldn't break the defense of the Xuanjin puppet, it didn't mean that Han Sanyuan's Spirit Rushing Sword Formation couldn't. Han Sanyuan was approaching within three thousand steps at this time, and the six spirit swords were more flexible and sharp under his sacrifice, fast as lightning, and the sword shadows attacked the Xuanjin puppet like a raging storm.
After all, the Flame Demon was only in the middle of the Dao Dan Realm, the Yuan Shen was in the middle, and the speed of driving the Xuanjin puppet was still one line behind Han Sanyuan, and within a few breaths, Han Sanyuan's Chong Ling Sword Array cut several cracks in the body of Jin Tie, and at this time, Sha Tianhe stood on top of the fire crow chariot, and once again gathered thirty-six flame crows to attack Beiling Sai.
Thirty-six flame crows gathered like the wind, extremely difficult to deal with, in order to prevent a large number of casualties among the disciples guarding the fortress, the array mage could only open the defensive spirit shield and wrap the entire Beiling Fortress.
Seeing that the thirty-six Flame Crows were slightly dimmer than just now, Chen Hai also knew that Black Wind Kou's Fire Raven Chariot was not completely unlimited, once it was killed once or twice, the Fire Crow Spirit should be consumed by one point, and once it was consumed to a certain extent, it should be no longer used before it was re-refined and replenished.
Since there were no other Dao Dan Realm powerhouses in Beilingsai, and the formation array headed by the Four Great Enlightenment Realms had a limited speed of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Chen Hai and Jiang Ze knew that they should avoid the direct impact of the spirit shield as much as possible, and they also organized their disciples to make magic weapons, spirit swords or Dao talismans as much as possible, and attack the fire crows that were like flames burning in the air.
At this moment, I saw the blazing flame crows, the blazing flames suddenly collapsed and contracted from the outside, and in the blink of an eye, transparent flame beads the size of thumbs were formed, and at an unimaginable speed, bypassing the magic weapons and spirit swords intercepted by the disciples, they shot directly towards the spirit cover.
Chen Hai and Jiang Ze reacted very quickly, and instantly sacrificed more than a dozen defensive Dao talismans, but thirty-six flame beads exploded together, and more than a dozen defensive Dao talismans were not used at all, the defensive spirit shield was suddenly torn to pieces, and the city wall was also blown down a large section, and forty or fifty generals were blown up beyond recognition and flesh and blood before they could struggle.
Chen Haiyuan looked at Sha Tianhe in a red robe, his face was a little pale like black carbon, and he knew that the blow just now was a lot of consumption for him, but he didn't expect that the blow just now was still extremely powerful.
Chen Hai turned his head to look behind him, the thirty-two array mages were all staggered by the counterattack of the large array, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding, presumably suffering minor injuries.
In just a while, forty or fifty people on the city wall were killed by those powerhouses of the Ming Aperture Realm and Dao Dan Realm in the horse bandits with spirit swords and magic weapons.
Jiang Xuan didn't care too much at this time, and raised his hand to throw out the only Zixiao Divine Thunder Talisman in his hand.
Although the reason for taking advantage of his illness to kill him is not bad, but it is still a little too taken for granted to want to hit Sha Tianhe with a Zixiao Divine Thunder Talisman, Chen Hai waved his hand at Jiang Xuan, asking her not to use this Heavenly Rank Dao Talisman for the time being, but he also doesn't know that he must not let Sha Tianhe launch a strong attack like just now.
The Four Pillars Demon Punishment Array was their biggest battle at this time, once the array mage was severely injured by the backlash, he could no longer preside over the big array, and without the protection of the spirit cover, the heavy crossbow and many disciples of the Spirit Clearing Realm and the Xuan Realm would be exposed, and they would not be able to resist the attack and killing of so many Dao Dan and Ming Realm powerhouses on the other side.
"The Heavenly Machine Divine Crossbow focuses on guarding against the Fire Crow Array!" Chen Hai shouted at Jiang Ze, he didn't care about anything else at this time, and directly took over the command of the battle, letting Jiang Ze and them obey his orders.
Sha Tianhe was three or four thousand steps away, and Chen Hai had no ability to prevent Sha Tianhe from condensing the Flame Crow to attack again, so he could only concentrate the heavy crossbow at this time, focusing on preventing the Flame Crow from forcing the defensive spirit cover again.
Fortunately, there are only a hundred zhang in the Beiling Valley, and fifty heavy-barreled crossbows can still ensure that the flame crow does not have the possibility of approaching, Chen Li is holding a magic halberd at this time, jumping out of the wall, and the Xuanjin puppet merge together, slashing out the shadow of the heavy halberd, and first joining forces to force Han Sanyuan's Chong Ling Sword Array back.
The formation mage in the plug didn't need Chen Li to greet him, and he also knew what Chen Li meant, at this time, he stretched out the defensive spirit shield a few more zhang, just so that Chen Li and the Xuanjin puppet stood on the edge of the defensive spirit cover, once the strong enemy's attack was too strong, they could retreat to the defensive spirit cover for temporary refuge; if the horse bandits attacked sparsely, they would kill the defensive spirit cover to defend against the enemy, and use this tactic to delay the battle until the reinforcements arrived......
If the array mage's control of the Four Pillars Demon Killing Array is more precise and subtle, he can even directly control the defensive spirit cover of the large array to advance and retreat with Chen Hai and the Xuanjin puppet, which is equivalent to adding an indestructible spirit shield to Chen Hai and the Xuanjin puppet.
