Chapter Seventy-Six: The Great War Begins
After the attack of Bishui Pavilion was blocked, he quickly sent the news to the Ningshui faction, and learned that there was a strange Daogang monk participating in the battle, and the Ningshui faction naturally knew that this was a friend invited by Wang Dao, which immediately made the Ningshui faction nervous.
At this time, the Danyang Sect divided its strength into two, one part was gathered near Tianluo City for training, and the other part was already pressed on the border of the two states, but at this time, the Ningshui Sect had already gathered the strength of the entire Ninghe Prefecture, and the number of monks was as high as more than 4,000 people, far superior to the strength of the Danyang Sect at this time.
"Attack, attack immediately, once the Danyang Sect is assembled, the battle of the Annihilation Gate will happen immediately, this is our chance, the last chance"
"But at this time of attacking, they are waiting for work, they belong to the defender, we have become the attacker, we will lose a lot, this is the conspiracy of the Danyang Sect"
"This is a conspiracy of the people, but we have to do it, we are inferior to others, and if we don't want to be destroyed, then fight"
In the camp of Ninghe Prefecture, many people are arguing, the people of Danyang Sect are extremely vicious, it is obvious that they provoked the war, but they forced the people of Ninghe Prefecture to take the initiative to attack.
This is not a conspiracy at all, but a conspiracy, they just want to force Ninghe Prefecture to take the initiative to attack, and the Danyang Sect relies on the formation terrain to consume a lot of their strength, and they must do the same, otherwise once the Danyang Sect's training is completed, they will completely fall into the disadvantage, and at the level of the Purple Mansion monks, there are too few of them.
The main battle faction won the upper hand, and the next day, more than four thousand monks from Ninghe Prefecture slowly rushed to the front of the Danyang Sect camp, dozens of ballistas were lined up, the style of these ballistas was a bit like the kind used by mortals, but this was actually a big killing weapon in the Lu Guo Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Each ballista is a third-order magic weapon, and the thick and large crossbow arrows on it are also third-order magic weapons, and the crossbow arrows themselves are made of precious materials, and they are engraved with rune formations, which have become extremely powerful siege weapons.
"Put"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."
With the order of the monk of the Ningshui Sect, the ballista was launched, and dozens of crossbow arrows flew towards the Danyang Sect's large array at an extremely fast speed.
"Boom, boom..."
At this moment, dozens of crossbow arrows also appeared in the big array, and the five purple mansions also appeared at the same time, each stopped a crossbow arrow, and the rest of the crossbow arrows were pierced in the big array, and the sound of bursting kept coming, and the entire big array began to bloom with bright light, canceling out the attack power of the crossbow arrows.
"Boom, boom..."
Five Purple Mansion monks also appeared on the side of Ninghe Prefecture, blocking some of the Danyang Sect's crossbow arrows, but the rest still rushed into the crowd, and the crowd also held up a formation to stop the crossbow arrows, but there were still many Open Vein monks who could not resist this impact, and they vomited blood and fell, and the rest of the people quickly filled the positions of those people.
"Breaking the Formation Bead, Up"
"Continue to load the bolt and fire"
"Striker, give me a charge"
The monks of the Ningshui Sect kept giving orders, and the five Purple Mansion monks quickly rushed forward to throw the Formation Breaking Beads that were specially designed to break the formation into the Danyang Sect Great Array, while the monks who operated the crossbow cart quickly changed into crossbow arrows and prepared to continue firing, and at the same time, the five hundred forward monks also attacked.
The Purple Mansion monks of the Danyang Sect each found their opponents and prevented the other party from throwing the Breaking Formation Bead, the Purple Mansion Monks began to deviate from the main battlefield, their power was too great, if they fought in front of the formation, both sides could not fight, and the aftermath of their battle was enough to shock a large number of Open Pulse Monks.
The five hundred forwards had already rushed to the front of the formation, but they were greeted by hundreds of spirit runes, and there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, causing heavy casualties to the five hundred forwards, but the rest of the people were still rapidly bombarding the formation.
The crossbow arrows just now have consumed a lot of the strength of the large array, and if you attack quickly, you can prevent the formation mages in the formation from blending the power of the formation, and when the strength is large enough, you can even break the formation.
"Formation mage, quickly repair the formation, striker, destroy the opponent's striker, fast"
In the Danyang Sect formation, an elder quickly gave an order, and immediately, more than two hundred condensing vein cultivators rushed out in the gap between the large formations and began to intercept and kill the opponent's forward.
Under the formation of the Danyang Sect and the attack of the forwards, the forwards of the Ningshui faction suffered heavy casualties, but they also completely entangled the men and horses of the Danyang Sect, and their strategic goal had been achieved.
"Crossbow Bolt, Fire"
"Left Army, rush up and entangle them"
The commander of the Ningshui faction ordered again, and dozens of crossbow arrows were fired again, this time without the obstruction of the Zifu monks, the crossbow arrows were all pierced on the large array, which immediately made the large array crumble, and with the addition of the new force, the forwards of the Ningshui faction began to fight back and kill the forwards surrounding the Danyang Sect.
"Ballista, adjust the angle, bombard the second half of the Ningshui faction, set off with the soldiers and horses on the right, respond to the forward, withdraw to the formation, the formation mage, open the strongest defensive state of the formation"
In the large array of Danyang Sect, the commander changed the order again, and immediately, dozens of crossbow arrows bombarded the hundreds of people who were fighting, at this time, the people of the Ningshui faction did not have the protection of the formation, and their personal strength was simply not enough to fight against the crossbow arrows, and the lethality of dozens of crossbow arrows suddenly soared, and even a crossbow arrow pierced several people.
Of course, this also injured a few of Danyang Sect's own people by mistake, but there is no doubt that Danyang Sect still took a great advantage, and exchanged dozens of casualties on the other side at a very small price.
"The other party's men and horses have moved, except for the Chinese army, charge me, don't let them retreat into the big array, or follow up"
The commander of the Ningshui faction saw the move, and put in a thousand men and horses at a time, at this time, in addition to the two thousand men and horses of the Chinese army, there were already two thousand men and horses entangled with hundreds of people from the Danyang Sect.
Among the two thousand people of the Ningshui faction, some people did not find an opponent, but threw the formation breaking beads into the large array, these cheap first-order formation breaking beads were not enough to break the formation, but they were victorious, and they could pose a great threat to the formation mage.
In front of the big array, the number of people in the Ningshui faction far exceeded that of the Danyang Sect, which made the casualties of the Danyang Sect also increase rapidly, but the reinforcements of the Danyang Sect had already arrived, and they did not go out of the formation, but kept throwing spirit runes at the edge of the formation to help the disciples of the sect break the siege and respond to their withdrawal formation.
There were strong disciples of the Ningshui Sect who also followed closely and rushed into the formation, but in the formation, hundreds of disciples of the Danyang Sect were waiting for the battle, and a few of them could not break through the defense line at all, but drank hatred under the attack of many enemies.
The two sides fought a scorching battle, the Ningshui faction had a large number of people, while the Danyang Sect relied on the formation, and the cruel war made the monks on both sides continue to fall, and soon reached a point where both sides could not accept it.
"Woooooo
The Chinese army of the Ningshui faction made a whining horn, and the monks of the Ningshui faction began to retreat after hearing it, and on the first day of the tentative attack, no one wanted to fight a decisive battle, and both sides accepted it when they saw it.
The retreating monks began to harvest the storage tools of those who had fallen in battle, and countless small battles broke out between the two sides, but on the whole, it was mainly retreat, and soon, the Purple Mansion on both sides also retreated.
On the first day of fighting, both sides paid a heavy price, and after the count, more than 300 people were killed and injured on the Ninghe Prefecture side alone, and Danyang Sect also killed more than 100 people and injured countless people.
"There has been no breakthrough in the Purple Mansion Battlefield"
"No, the Purple Mansion over there in Ninghe Prefecture is the old Purple Mansion for many years, and a few of us have not broken through for a short time, and we have fallen into disadvantage"
After each of the Purple Mansions returned, the commanders were anxious to inquire about the battle situation of the Purple Mansion, if they could kill the opponent's Purple Mansion, they would be able to vacate a Purple Mansion monk, which would be a nightmare for the battlefield of the Pulse Opening and Condensing Pulse Cultivators.
However, the Purple Mansion of the Danyang Sect suffered a loss, because the two Purple Mansions on the side of the Danyang Sect had just broken through for a few years, and they were still on the first floor of the Purple Mansion, while the other party had broken through for many years and had an advantage in mana.
"Next time, the focus of both sides will be on the Purple Mansion, our Purple Mansion must not be killed by the other party, mainly to drag, until the second batch of troops comes, our Purple Mansion will have more than the other party"
"Heavenly Saint Sect Lin Xiao has a record of killing the sixth layer of the Purple Mansion, once he arrives, his Chixiao Bow can solve the opponent's Purple Mansion Cultivator"
In the Danyang Sect's large array, the commander immediately set a strategy and decided to use the procrastination trick to drag the time until the reinforcements on his side arrived.
On the other hand, Ninghe Prefecture obviously knew a lot about the Purple Mansion in Tianyun Prefecture, and knew Lin Xiao's record, after all, the matter of stabbing the gods was in a uproar, and they also knew that once Lin Xiao participated in the war, the Purple Mansion on their side would fall into disadvantage, so they decided to fight quickly and continue the challenge the next day.
···········
Tianluo City, in the military camp, the people of each sect have been training for seven days, and they have begun to look a little presentable, and the news from all over the country is constantly coming in summary, for example, there is a strange Daogang monk on the side of Tianhaimen to help, unless Qingshan County is really desperate to attack, sacrificing one or two thousand people, otherwise it will not be able to break through the Tianhaimen defense line at all.
At this time, the 1,000 monks of Danyang Sect on the front line have already died one-third, although there are more casualties on the side of Ninghe Prefecture, but there are not many monks who really belong to the Ningshui faction, the overlord of Ninghe Prefecture, and the heavy casualties are those disciples of the small sect and the small family disciples, as well as the recruited loose cultivators.
Now that both sides are squeezing more war potential, Ninghe Prefecture has begun to recruit casual cultivators on a large scale, using high prices to make more casual cultivators work hard, and at the same time, recruiting more sectarian family monks.
With the power of one sect, it is difficult to compete with the entire Ninghe Prefecture, so the commanders of the front line are also constantly asking for help, so the Danyang Sect also paid a lot of money, once again recruited scattered cultivators to work hard, went to the front line to enrich their strength, and even sent people to the hinterland of Ninghe Prefecture to cause sabotage.
But the Danyang Sect did not move the men and horses of the Tianluo City camp, the intention of the Danyang Sect was obvious, that is, to rely on this wave of people to overwhelm the other party in one fell swoop, and now is not the time for the other party to run out.
Battles are happening every day, dead people are happening every day, and large-scale battles have broken out in the land of Sanzhou, which has been calm for more than a hundred years, and at the same time, the essence of Sanzhou is also being consumed, and countless monks who have accumulated for more than a hundred years have begun to fall continuously.
