Chapter 253: Siege
The swords were tense in Shushui City, and all the archers of the God Refining Realm obeyed the order and were all ready.
A special bow and arrow, all mounted on the longbow.
These bows and arrows are all made of good materials, and even if they are used by ordinary immortal cultivators, they can threaten immortal cultivators in the God Refining Realm.
Not to mention that now, they are all being used by immortal cultivators of the God Refining Realm.
Just a while, Situ Hong said the word "put".
In the sky outside Shushui City, a deadly dark cloud will appear in an instant.
On the side of the Barbarian Witch Army, the commander of the Barbarian Witch Army this time was a demon cultivator who had entered the Holy Realm.
In terms of cultivation, it is much lower than Situ Hong.
But being able to become the commander of the Barbarian Witch Army's attack on Shushui City this time shows that his military talent will not be low.
The commander of the Barbarian Witch Army stood on a chariot in the middle of the army, looking in the direction of Shushui City.
With his eyesight, he could clearly see the rows of well-armed archers on the walls of Shushui City.
"The order goes down, and when the city is sieged in a while, the undead troops are divided into three teams to attack the city. The commander said to his adjutant beside him.
"Let the undead consume the ancient army, and the demon cultivators don't move. ”
"Yes!" the lieutenant quickly conveyed the order.
The commander glanced at the undead at the front of the army, all of them with red eyes and bared teeth.
The saliva in the mouth ran down the corners of the mouth, connected in a line on the chin, and dripped to the ground.
The aura of tyranny churned over them.
No one would doubt their combat prowess, and if they fought on the plains, even enemies who were several times their size, they would not be able to win favor from them.
But when he saw the commander of this terrifying combat unit, his brows furrowed with displeasure.
In the heart of this commander, he looked down on these immortals very much.
Killing, tyrannical, no thoughts, just a little bit of wisdom.
They are of little use other than killing enemies in battle.
And the most important point is that although the undead are very strong in combat, they do not have the slightest possibility of advancement.
These immortals were created by the warlocks of the Barbarian Witch Continent in a mysterious way.
What level he was at when he was born, he will always be at what level.
It can be said to be a "weapon" that can act.
Compared to the demon cultivators who had infinite evolutionary possibilities, these immortals had too low a status in the heart of this commander.
No matter how dull a demon cultivator is, he will improve his realm.
Moreover, among the 50,000 troops at the moment, there are a total of 20,000 demon cultivators.
Among these 20,000 people, there may be a future Demon Venerable.
Although the probability is extremely low, it is much higher than the "zero probability" of the undead.
The commander's order was conveyed, and the army of 30,000 undead was divided into three.
10,000 units were a team, divided into three teams, ready to be used to consume the ancient defenders of Shushui City.
As soon as Situ Hong, who was on the city wall, saw the actions of the Barbarian Witch Army, he suddenly understood the thoughts of the Barbarian Witch Army in his heart.
"Wear down the defenders with the undead? Situ Hong said in his heart.
If it were his own, he would have done the same.
"However, it's as simple as that and you succeed, and this battle is too boring. ”
Situ Hong smiled slightly, although there are not many Immortal Venerables on the Ancient Continent, there are still some.
But among these Immortal Venerable masters, there are really very few people who have cultivation and military talents.
But it just so happens that Situ Hong is one of the best among these few people.
"Pass my orders, all archers for rockets!"
At the sound of the order, many logistics soldiers brought the quivers equipped with the so-called "rockets" to the city wall to replace the quivers for the archers.
These rockets were held in the hands of the archers, waiting for Situ Hong's order for a while.
"First Force! Siege!" the commander of the Barbarian Witch Army gave the order to siege the city almost at the same time.
Ten thousand undead surged frantically towards the gates of Shushui City.
These 10,000 undead didn't carry anything like a siege ladder, and even if they were equipped, they wouldn't be useful.
Therefore, the idea of the commander of the Barbarian Witch Army was very simple, to use these 10,000 immortals to take the lead and directly break through the gates of Shushui City.
Of course, just 10,000 immortals will definitely not be able to do it.
The worst plan in the mind of the commander of the barbarian witch was to kill 20,000 undead.
Then there were 10,000 undead left, and together with an army of 20,000 demon cultivators, they set out to capture Shushui City.
He knew who the commander of Shushui City was now, but it was not the mediocre generals he had met before, but the commander of the alliance of the Ancient Continent, Situ Hong, the lord of the White Flame Palace.
The leader of the Eastern Coalition who can command it cannot be a fool anyway.
The people used by Tianlongmen will not be overestimated.
"Great marshal, the enemy's vanguard army is less than eighty feet away from the city gate. The young general next to Situ Hong said.
"Release the arrows when you're fifty zhang!" Situ Hong ordered.
When the 10,000 immortals had just crossed the gate of Shushui City, the archers in the city shot the rockets in their hands.
Rockets roared away with flames and slammed into the undead army on the ground.
The archers were ordered to shoot all the arrows in their quivers in three breaths.
This is not difficult for immortal cultivators in the God Realm.
In just three breaths, thousands of rockets were fired.
Looking at the ground outside the city, there were many immortals, who were shot through their bodies by the powerful penetrating power of arrows.
However, these undead are all of the type with relatively weak physical strength, and the arrows are already very well chosen, so they have this effect.
The undead who were shot by the rocket were all ignited and formed a humanoid ball of fire.
But even so, for an undead person with a strong life force, it is still not a fatal injury.
Many of the undead carried arrows on their bodies and continued to rush towards the city gates in flames.
Only a few dozen undead fell to the ground and could not move because of too many arrows, but they did not die on the spot.
The archers replaced their quivers and continued to shoot at the undead army beneath the walls.
"Rolling Stones!" Situ Hong ordered.
The immortal who walked at the forefront was already less than a hundred steps away from the city wall.
With the speed of the undead, it will take up to ten breaths to attack the city gates.
At this time, the use of falling rocks can exert the greatest effect.
As soon as Situ Hong gave the order, two immortal cultivators who had entered the Holy Realm walked to the city wall with a boulder in both hands and threw it down.
This boulder is like a low house, and it definitely weighs tens of thousands of pounds.
The defenders of Shushui City threw rolling stones down the city, and these rolling stones were concentrated at the city gate.
The army of the undead was very fast, and by the time the rolling stones fell, there were already a few undead who had come to the city gate.
Although Shushui City has the word water in its name, it does not have a moat, and the nearby water source is only enough for daily use, but it is not enough to fill the moat.
When the undead came to the gate, they were about to attack the gate with their claws, but they noticed that the sunlight above them was covered by something, and the shadows under their feet were getting bigger and bigger.
Bang!
Several boulders of tens of thousands of catties were thrown down by the masters of the Holy Realm.
Immediately, the few immortals gathered at the gate of the city were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood.
At the same time, many large stones of more than 100 catties were thrown down.
It's just that these stones are used to stone the undead.
Instead, they filled the gaps with a few 10,000-pound boulders blocked in front of the city gate.
After a short time, the city gate was covered with a large number of boulders, and it was no longer obvious that this was originally a city gate of Shushui City.
When the commander of the Barbarian Witch Army saw this scene, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.
"Awesome, awesome. The commander muttered, "A few boulders have blocked the gates, and I have no intention of storming the city." ”
Situ Hong's move was amazing, and he prepared several huge stones in the city in advance to block the gate facing the barbarian witch army.
In this way, if the barbarian witch army wants to use the undead as cannon fodder to break open the city gate, and the plan to jointly attack and take Shushui City inside and outside will be stillborn.
"There can be a character who can cultivate as an immortal and can also march and fight, I'm afraid the two continents together are not much, right? Situ Hong, I remember this name. The commander of the Barbarian Witch Army said softly.
He is good at military affairs, but he is not satisfactory in his cultivation.
Relying on the many resources obtained by the family background, coupled with the guidance of famous teachers, it is still only in the early stage of entering the sainthood.
And it's the kind of very weak pre-stage of initiation, and it can only be regarded as having reached the qualifications of the pre-stage of initiation in terms of skill.
As for the combat power that can actually be exerted, it is far inferior to that of a cultivator of the same level.
The praise of the barbarian witch general, Situ Hong naturally couldn't hear it.
But even if he heard it, Situ Hong would not feel much proud.
30,000 defenders faced 50,000 barbarian witch troops, even he Situ Hong did not dare to say that he was 100% sure that he could defend this city.
Do your best, just obey the destiny of heaven.
Moo......
A low sound like the sound of a cow came from the barbarian army.
The immortal who heard this voice, although he was still hunched over with red eyes, was always ready to fight with the defenders of Shushui City.
But little by little, they all left in the direction of the Barbarian Witch Army.
"Marshal, the Barbarian Witch Army has withdrawn its troops. The young general said, "The enemy has been killed, more than 1,300 people. ”
"Hmm. Situ Hong just hummed lightly.
He knew that the barbarian witch army had only stopped the first wave of attacks.
The loss is only more than a thousand immortals.
Their lord will not rest on his laurels, and when he sees that the gates of the city are blocked by a boulder, he will return with his army.
The original siege plan was destroyed by himself, and he didn't know what tricks the enemy on the opposite side would have.
Within the Three Realms.
"Two, why are you silent?" said Emperor Yu Shang in a deep voice.
Seeing that Chu Ke and Yan Nanming were silent and silent, his eyes couldn't help but show doubt.
"Could it be that these things are not satisfied with the two of you?"
"Your Majesty is serious. Chu Ke said, "It's not that our two brothers look down on the things given by His Majesty, it's just that we are thinking about the matter of those five people." ”
"That's right, the cultivation strength of those five people is all above my virtuous brother. Yan Nanming took over and said, "There are thirty-six monarchs under Your Majesty's command, but we don't know how the people sent by Your Majesty are cultivating?"
"Haha, you don't need to worry about this matter, I have already made arrangements. Yu Shang laughed.
"Among the thirty-six monarchs under my command, the strength of each one of them is the weakest according to the standards of your Ancient Continent, and it is also the late stage of the Immortal Venerable. Like the two Yan brothers of the Sword Pavilion, they can be ranked seventh. ”
Seventh, in this way, among the thirty-six monarchs, at least seven of them have the first-class level or above?
In these three realms, there are really many masters.
"I want to send the second and third two people to deal with this matter with people, can you rest assured?" Yu Shang asked.
"In this way, I thank Your Majesty. Chu Ke and Yan Nanming said in unison.
The two stood up, thanked Yu Shang, and put the things in front of them into the Tongtian Mirror.
After resigning from the emperor, the two of them went all the way towards the Western Spirit Monarch Realm.
It's just that the two don't say it on the surface, but they are still worried about the ambition of the human emperor in their hearts.
"Brother Yan......" As soon as Chu Ke opened his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by Yan Nanming's immortal knowledge.
"The Human Emperor Realm is the territory of the Human Emperor, and the Human Emperor has the Human Emperor Seal, so maybe there is something that we can't understand. Yan Nanming said.
"What's the matter, let's go to the 100,000 mountains first. ”
Yan Nanming still remembers the unpleasant feeling of being watched by Yu Shang.
The 100,000 Great Mountain is also the only place for the two of them to go to the Spirit Monarch Realm, it is located at the junction of the Spirit Monarch Realm and the Human Emperor Realm, and a small part borders the Beast Emperor Realm.
It can be said that among the Three Realms, the status is more special and transcendent.
There are strong people like clouds, the Beast Emperor, the Human Emperor, and the Spirit Monarch, and they all take a non-caring attitude towards them.
When they get there, the Human Emperor shouldn't be able to spy on the two of them.
The peak turned around, Chu Ke and Yan Nanming rushed all the way, and it didn't take long to reach the boundary of the 100,000 mountains.
However, to be on the safe side, the two of them walked a little more west, and came to the side close to the Spirit Monarch Realm.
On a mountain, the two found a natural stone platform, and the two sat cross-legged on the stone platform, thinking about countermeasures.
Chu Ke and Yan Nanming agreed that the Spirit Monarch Boundary Seal could not be given to Yu Shang.
A single human emperor is not as good as a big master like Wu Yangshu.
But the Human Emperor, who has the two major realm seals, is only afraid that the Three Realms, the Desolate Ancients, and the Barbarian Witch, no one can stop him.
Unless it was an era when there were many Nirvana masters, maybe someone would be able to subdue it.
"However, without the Imperial Seal, we won't be able to return to the Ancient Continent. Chu Ke said.
"I don't think so. Yan Nanming said.
"Why?" Chu Ke asked.
"Brother Chu Ke, let's look at it from the beginning, has the concept of 'only the human emperor's seal can open the passage of the Ancient Continent', is it preconceived?" Yan Nanming said.
As soon as Yan Nanming said this, Chu Ke's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right, can only the Human Emperor Seal open the passage of the Ancient Continent?
Not necessarily..
The Human Emperor Seal is the key to the Ancient Passage, which has always been a preconceived view.
"Yes, we got into the horns, thinking that we couldn't go back without the imperial seal. Chu Ke said.
