Chapter 776: Attack and Defense of Shenmu City
Early in the morning of the second day, after the low-level disciples finished breakfast, the camp of the Nanzhou army sounded the sound of war drums, and the relaxation of the past few days made the Nanzhou monks also stunned, and then under the shouts of officers at all levels, they quickly assembled, and groups of people and horses assembled in the open space of the barracks.
"Today's siege, the main attack at the east gate, the battleships and Xuanjing cannons are concentrated at the east gate, and the rest are feints, but the main attack and feints are treated equally, whoever breaks the enemy first, big reward"
"Yes"
"Departure"
Lin Xiao waved his hand, and then directly led a group of people into the East Gate camp, and the remaining three Xuanjing cannons had been sent, plus the Xuanjing cannons on the battleship, a salvo could fire thousands of shells.
The war drums rumbled, a group of monks walked out of the camp, converged according to the pattern of the battle formation, the battleships rose into the air, lined up, and aimed at Shenmu City on the side, one by one Xuanjing cannons pushed out the muzzles, and Shenmu City was also urgently mobilized.
"Up"
As soon as the commander gave the order, thousands of people stepped forward and spread huge wooden planks on the trench, creating a passage for the army to enter and exit.
"The Xuanjing cannon fires, covers the army, and the forward forward"
"Forward Monk, Golden Shield Array Ready, March"
"Fire"
"Boom, boom, boom"
100,000 forwards condensed into a battle formation, conjuring up a huge golden shield in front of them, and then 100,000 people marched together, and it was a test of discipline to maintain the battle formation in advance, everyone's steps must be the same, and they must output Xuan Qi smoothly, not chaotic, one person may be chaotic, and all people will be chaotic, and the battle formation will be broken up directly.
The Xuanjing cannon on the city wall is also firing, and the battle formation of 100,000 people is too huge to miss at all, all of them are hit on the golden shield, but these attack forces will be evenly distributed over 100,000 people, and they can withstand it.
"Attack"
One step slower than the Nanzhou army, the battle formations in the city also gathered and began to attack the forward, so that the forward began to suffer casualties, and their warships also took to the air, and an air battle broke out.
"Attack but not break, break the formation beads, on"
"Up"
"Boom"
"The shield is failing, put it on me"
The Breaking Array Bead is a strategic weapon of each sect, and people with a little bit of power will store a batch, but with the development of the war, so far, the Breaking Array Beads in the hands of each sect have been almost consumed, only Lin Xiao's side can be taken out in a steady stream, but in strategic needs, this time Lin Xiao only took out a seventh-order Breaking Array Bead.
As soon as the seventh-order Breaking Array Bead came out, the formation of this part of the East Gate was suddenly affected, and the protective shield could not play a role for the time being, and a group of Daogang Lingguang monks immediately flew out of the follow-up battle formation, rushed into the city wall, and slashed and killed the monks.
With them blocking, more and more monks rushed to the city wall, and the monks of Shenmu City were desperately blocking, and the city gate also took the initiative to open, thousands of monks rushed out, cutting off the follow-up monks, as long as the support could not keep up, the monks who rushed up would be beaten down sooner or later, or as long as they supported the formation repair.
Tens of thousands of people crowded into the city walls and city gates to fight, the battle situation was extremely tragic, and many places were too crowded to even show their martial arts, so they could only return to the most primitive fighting.
The monks on both sides were harvested like grass, but for Lin Xiao, these high-level people, they were not moved in the slightest, the truth was so cruel, at their level, the low-level monks were just chips in their hands, and they were a string of numbers.
Half an hour later, the formation was slowly repaired, Lin Xiao ordered the withdrawal of troops, the Nanzhou army slowly withdrew, and there were cheers in Shenmu City.
After Lin Xiao returned to the camp, he began to adjust the team, this siege mode will take a while, Lin Xiao must select the elite team, go forward to fight, and consume their strength as much as possible.
"Alliance leader, today's battle damage has come out, four city gates, more than 32,000 killed, more than 5,000 wounded, and the enemy's casualties are about 50,000, more than us"
"We still have to adjust the team, we must consume the opponent's strength to about thirty percent before they react, they don't have many elites, we fight with them for elites"
"This, alliance leader, our elite is not easy, can we lose less?"
"Our elite is easier to replenish than them, don't worry, those who survive will be rewarded, and those who participate in the war today will be rested in rotation, and a batch of rewards can be appropriately issued, and those who can break through will let them break through"
Lin Xiao shook his head, the enemy has so many people, and if it is not consumed, the loss will be greater, as for the elite, just cultivate it again, they don't lack war experience, what they lack is cultivation, Lin Xiao has already prepared quite a lot of advanced pills, which can be distributed in batches.
War is very tempering people, there is a lot of pressure on monks, many monks who have entered the bottleneck of cultivation can break through in the war, since the army of Nanzhou entered Zhongzhou, low-level disciples who have broken through cultivation abound.
Lin Xiao said this, others can't refute it, after all, at present, Lin Xiao's decision has never been missed, and now no one in the Nanzhou army opposes Lin Xiao, even the Tianyue Sect is also impressed by Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao's prestige has reached an unprecedented height, even if it is only a line away from Lin Xiao's goal of being the co-owner of Nanzhou.
In the next few days, Nanzhou copied the same battle mode, they already had the strength to break through Shenmu City, but the next street battle would pay a lot of price, so they didn't do it, at first the head of Shenmu Sect was very happy, and felt that he had blocked the attack of Nanzhou's army one by one, but slowly he felt that something was wrong, because of this matter, their blood was almost dried up by Lin Xiao, and the elite had already been reimbursed more than half.
The Shenmu Sect Master who reacted was immediately ashamed and angry, but the centaur was almost dead, and there was nothing he could do, so he could only turn to the Shenmu Sect Mountain Gate and the Immortal Alliance for help.
Tang Shuwen of the Immortal League almost vomited blood in anger, knowing that your Shenmu Sect is not good, but I didn't expect you to be able to do it to this point, such a simple strategy is unthinkable, but the Shenmu Sect still can't help it, the Immortal League can only discuss with the Shenmu Sect, and once again sent a part of the people over, and Tang Shuwen has fewer and fewer hole cards in his hand.
"Boss, the night owl has come to report, Shenmu City has discovered our strategy, there are a lot of more people, there are many high-level monks, and also, our spies have been exposed and have died in battle"
"Got it, are there any spies inside?"
"There are no more people in the headquarters, and there are still a few people in control, but they lack channels to convey information, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to spread the news."
"It's okay, go and call Bu Yunshuang to notify the senior management to hold a meeting"
"Yes, Master"
A moment later, the high-level leaders of Nanzhou gathered, and Lin Xiao reported the changes in Shenmu City.
"Lin Alliance Lord, in this way, we can't copy the previous tactics tomorrow, otherwise we will suffer a big loss."
"Yes, if we use the previous tactics again, we will suffer, so tomorrow we will directly attack the Shenmu Sect, and the Immortal Alliance will not have many hole cards in its hand, this time we will have a showdown"
"Breakable Array Bead"
"It's okay, I still have it here, tomorrow the four city gates will be broken together, and five thousand cavalry will be prepared on each side, the enemy should not escape from the teleportation array, and chase and kill those deserters at any time"
Lin Xiao replied, after coming out of Nanzhou, Lin Xiao had already taken out dozens of high-level Formation Breaking Beads, this preparation shocked many people, could it be that the Heavenly Saint Sect's family background was already so strong?
However, each family has its own secrets, and no one dares to inquire about it easily, and Lin Xiao will not joke with this kind of thing, and everyone disperses after discussing some specific tactics.
In the early morning of the second day, the Nanzhou battalion set off again, preparing to attack the city, but this time it was more than hundreds of thousands of people fighting, more than one million people were all gathered, and the four city gates each prepared 100,000 people to prepare for street fighting, these people were three or five, more than ten people formed a team, these team members are all from the same sect or family, understand each other, know the roots, and cooperate tacitly.
"Siege the city, break the Shenmu City, just today"
"Attack, battleship lift-off"
"Prepare for the Xuanjing cannon, aim"
"Pioneer in place"
"Fire"
"Forwards charge, rush forward"
"Breaking the Formation Bead"
The first wave of fire was the Xuanjing Cannon under the city and the Xuanjing Cannon on the battleship, after three rounds of salvo fire, the ten Golden Body Periods were dispatched, and they rushed directly to the sky above the protective array, and at the moment when the place did not react, eight seventh-order Breaking Array Beads were thrown, and the Breaking Array Beads burst, and the protective formation of the Shenmu Sect was immediately paralyzed, and this time it was impossible to recover without half a day.
The striker had already rushed to the side of the city wall, and after withstanding several rounds of blows from the opponent, the high-level monks above Dao Gang flew directly onto the city wall, and the condensing vein opening monks could also use the city wall to jump on the city wall with the help of the city wall, and the city wall did not have much effect on the monk.
"Boom"
Ma Langfei personally took action, and smashed the city gate with a direct move, and then a large group of men and horses rushed into the city gate, but the Shenmu Sect also gathered a large number of people and horses at the city gate, and the two sides were fighting and grabbing the passage.
"On the Flying Boat"
Lin Xiao gave an order, and dozens of flying boats took off at the east gate, and the short distance of ten miles was soon there, and the enemy's high-ranking monks jumped off the flying boats before they had time to stop them.
"High Monk Rush with Me"
Lin Xiao personally led the team to charge, and hundreds of people behind him followed Lin Xiao and rushed into the city.
With more and more people entering the city, the surrounding city walls were lost, and the monks of the Shenmu Sect slowly withdrew into the city, the Shenmu Sect was extremely huge, it was originally a big city with millions of monks, after the outbreak of the war, seventy or eighty percent of the monks had fled, and the monks of the Shenmu Sect were transferred from all over the country There were also a lot of monks, so breaking the city wall did not mean that the city had fallen.
"Transfer the street fighting monks, as well as the Xuanjing cannon, and turn the battle formation into a small battle formation of thousands of people and one or two hundred thousand, seize key positions, and cut the enemy"
"Hurry up, dismantle the Xuanjing cannon, enter the city, and seize the commanding heights"
"A battalion, divided into ten teams, keep the battle formation, follow me into the city"
The Nanzhou monks quickly mobilized, dozens of high-level Xuanjing cannons were dismantled, and Daogang monks took them into the city, and then bombarded the crowded place.
The battle formation of several thousand people occupied some open areas and began to clear the cut enemies, and the Shenmu City entered a fierce battle.
