Chapter 765 Entering the Shenmu Sect
In the early morning of the second day, millions of monks gathered in front of the Five Elements Sect Mountain, lined up and waited, hundreds of flying boats were parked on the side, and with the angry shouts of officers at all levels, groups of monks walked into the flying boats.
After carrying 200,000 horses, the flying boat took off, and twenty-five warships took off to escort the flying boat, five of which were taken from the Hundred Treasure Sect and the Wuliang Gate, and now there are more than ten damaged flying boats in Kunlun that are being repaired.
There were also 100,000 monks on the twenty-five flying boats, a total of 300,000 horses, forming a vanguard, taking the lead in killing and heading to the territory of the Shenmu Sect, and the 700,000 horses behind formed a battle formation, all the way on.
Bai Zichen became the commander of the vanguard team, and Tan Minghua and other high-level cadres pressed for him, and they all gathered in a battleship and rushed to the front.
"Report, twenty miles ahead, there is a large army blocking the way"
"The flying boat stops, lands, organizes a battle formation, and the battleship strikes"
"The flying boat stopped, landed, and the battleship pressed forward"
With Bai Zichen's order, the flying boat slowly stopped, thousands of monks flew out first, on guard all around, the flying boat slowly landed, and a group of monks walked out, under the command of officers at all levels, quickly formed a battle formation.
And the battleship continued to fly, and when the enemy army was five miles away, the battleship of the Shenmu Sect also appeared, but they only had five warships, and dozens of flying boats came to charge the battle.
"Just five flying boats dare to come and send them to their deaths, shoot them down, and prepare to fire"
"Ready"
"Put"
"Bang, bang, bang"
The battleship moved sideways, revealing the Xuanjing cannon on one side, and the twenty-five flying boats approached three hundred Xuanjing cannons in unison to fire in unison, bombarding the opponent, the defense on the battleship was high after all, a round of salvo, the opponent's battleship was basically fine, but once the flying boat was hit, it would explode, and hundreds of monks with more than Dao Gang flew out of it, and quickly rushed towards the battleship.
"The monk team prepares, and the Xuanjing cannon continues to fire"
"Put"
"Main Gun Preparation"
"Put"
"Boom, boom, boom"
On the side of the Nanzhou battleship, hundreds of monks above Daogang were suspended in front of the battleship, and the Xuanjing cannons on it continued to fire, although the hit rate of the three hundred Xuanjing cannons was not high, but there were also some unlucky eggs, who were directly hit, either exploded or fell, obviously they couldn't survive.
"Escort, Kill as You Go"
Tan Minglun led the monks to meet the other party's monks, and the two sides fought together.
"Bai Zichen, the eighth realm ancestor of the other party has appeared"
"Senior Chen, Up"
"Got it"
Bai Zichen gave an order, and a figure disappeared from him, entered the void, and stopped the Eighth Realm Ancestor who was preparing to sneak attack.
"The opponent's battle formation is coming, our battle formation"
"Fifteen miles away"
"The battleship retreats, don't stop the Xuanjing cannon"
"Yes"
Bai Zichen ordered the battleship to retreat slowly, and the Xuanjing cannon on it began to bombard the opponent's battle array, but the defense of the battle array was very strong, and there was basically no damage, it just consumed their Xuan Qi.
The battleship retreated seven or eight miles, and the battle formation of Nanzhou also stepped forward, and 200,000 horses formed two battle formations, one on the left and one on the right, and slowly pressed up.
Each battle formation was divided into a hundred columns, each column had a thousand people, and the length reached two kilometers, advancing like a wall, advancing step by step, and soon the two battle formations were only one kilometer away, and both sides stopped.
"Attack"
"Attack"
The two sides conjured up their respective weapons with Xuan Qi, bombarded each other, and the aftermath of the explosion of Xuan Qi shattered the surrounding mountains, filled with smoke, and in the battle array, some monks began to fall.
"The battleship is on one side, and it is constantly firing, and I will not stop until I give the order"
"The battleships moved, lined up, and the Xuanjing cannon fired a salvo"
Bai Zichen quickly continued to give orders, and twenty-five battleships appeared on the side of the opponent's battleship, and then the battleships continued to fire to assist the opponent in attacking the battle formation.
Three hundred Xuanjing cannons, equivalent to three hundred monks above the Dao Gang stage, hit with all their might, which made the pressure of the opponent's battle array suddenly very large, and the losses began to increase.
"Bai Ancestor, the other party's warship is rushing over"
"Battleships 1 to 5, break away from the team, rush up, entangle each other"
"Ships 1 to 5, break away from the team"
The opponent's battleships rushed up extremely heroically, Bai Zichen divided five battleships to intercept them, and the remaining battleships stood still and continued to bombard the other party.
As time passed, the casualties on both sides increased rapidly, and the Shenmu Sect's side was the first to collapse, their men and horses were not as elite as Nanzhou, and the pressure to bear the casualties was much smaller, and Bai Zichen easily won.
The enemy began to rout, Bai Zichen divided the battle array into 10,000 people, and began to pursue these routed men and horses, and the battle formation also continued to advance, the battleships covered in the sky above, and the five battleships also began to retreat.
"Report, there is an ambush on the front of the enemy, and the pursuing monk is entangled"
Just when everyone felt that the overall situation had been decided, a sentry suddenly came to report that there was an ambush ahead, and the 10,000 pursuing monks could not retreat.
"How many people are in ambush?"
"100,000 people"
"Hehe, 100,000 people, this is for us, order the battle formation to speed up, and the battleship will follow"
"Yes"
Bai Zichen sneered, fortunately he was relatively calm, seeing that the other party retreated, he did not disband all the battle formations, and did not press them all, otherwise as soon as the other party's 100,000 horses came out, the terror on their side would be wiped out.
Bai Zichen didn't care about the safety of the 10,000 people, calmly commanded the battle formation to continue to advance, and waited until an hour later to reach the ambush site, and there were not many of the 10,000 people left.
"Kill them all and avenge the friends of Nanzhou"
"Kill"
The battle formation continued to press, and the battleship also began to fire, and after a little contact, the other party withdrew, this time it was really withdrawn, Bai Zichen was not fooled, they had no second ambush.
However, Bai Zichen was still cautious, and continued to press in slowly, and when he arrived in front of the other party's camp, he didn't stop, and set up camp thirty miles in front of the other party's camp.
At this time, three days have passed, and in three days, Bai Zichen moved the front line south for five thousand miles, and came to the hinterland of the Shenmu Sect, in front of Bai Zichen is a place called Lingmu City, which is the second largest immortal cultivation city under the command of the Shenmu Sect, originally with a population of six or seven hundred thousand people, and now it has gathered one-third of the remaining people and horses of the Shenmu Sect, one and a half million people.
Nanzhou's follow-up army continued to arrive, and soon, three million men and horses were blocked under Lingmu City, Lin Xiao set up three large camps, surrounded Lingmu in three directions, and then ordered the monks to dig a trench and build an earthen city, preparing to completely lock Lingmu Cheng.
In the face of Nanzhou Monk's movements, Lingmu City did not take any action, because Lin Xiao still had one direction, and there was also a teleportation array in the city, it was impossible to completely lock it up.
"Lord Lin League, what are we going to do when we dig a trench and build an earthen city?"
"Naturally, it is of great use, order the monks, the trench must be wide and deep, all the trenches must be connected together, the earth dug out of the trench is built into the earth city, and the earth city is set up with Xuanjing cannons, god-destroying crossbows, and large crossbow arrows."
Lin Xiao didn't explain much, just ordered them to do it, tens of thousands of monks started together, and in two days, the trenches in three directions were dug up, a total of six, each trench was ten meters wide, five meters deep, and twenty meters apart, behind the trench was an earthen city wall three meters high, and the monks hid behind the earthen city.
"The old rule, the cavalry is dispatched, this time it is 80,000 cavalry, divided into three teams, which of you will command"
Lin Xiao looked at a group of high-level officials and said, After defeating the Hundred Treasure Sect and the Infinite Treasure Sect, they obtained a lot of mounts such as dragon horses, and Nanzhou added a part, a total of 80,000 horses.
Last time Bai Zichen and they got a lot of loot, this time no one was willing to lag behind, Lin Xiao clicked the names of three people, three from Qi and Qin.
Three days later, 80,000 horses left the camp and scattered, starting to attack some weak places, but the Shenmu Sect did a relatively good job of clearing the wilderness, and the cavalry did not gain much.
This made the three of them very unhappy, why did they get such a big result last time Bai Zichen, but they didn't, they were ruthless, the three of them decided to join forces and attack the important locations of the Shenmu Sect.
At this time, there was no place for less than 100,000 people to be stationed in the territory of Shenmu Sect, and the unimportant places had long been abandoned, only the most critical places were guarded, and the cavalry was not an opponent when they were in one place, they chose a Xuanjing mine to start, and several attacks were frustrated.
However, after Lin Xiao learned the news, he immediately selected 300,000 elite soldiers to help, and 300,000 horses rushed towards the Xuanjing mine, and the Shenmu Sect immediately got the news, and at this moment, the Shenmu Sect was in a hurry.
If the Xuanjing Mine is breached, the Nanzhou monks will be able to obtain a large amount of war resources, on the contrary, their losses will be great, and the Shenmu Sect will change generals on the spot, and the passive defensive strategy adopted by the people in charge before has now been proven wrong, and they are eager to recover their disadvantages and rescue the Xuanjing Mine.
The order reached Lingmu City as soon as possible, and the principal of Lingmu City suddenly felt bitter, because of the strategic mistake of the previous chief ancestor, this time, it was Lingmu City's turn to be uncomfortable.
The Lingmu City army wanted to break through, but as soon as their monks came up, they would suffer from the head-on attack of the Xuanjing Cannon, the God Exterminator Crossbow, and the large crossbow arrows, not counting those trenches and other obstacles, before they reached the battle, they would lose a lot of horses.
Moreover, the three trenches are all connected, and the three large battalions can support each other at any time, even if they break through in one direction with all their might.
They didn't dare to go out of the rest of the city gate, they felt that Lin Xiao would never make such a low-level mistake, this was definitely a trap.
Several breakthroughs were frustrated, and the letter of help from the Xuanjing Mine flew to various places like snowflakes, and the Shenmu Sect was unbearable, and the words to Lingmu City became more and more intense, asking them to break through as soon as possible, and the monks of Lingmu City had no choice but to make final preparations and prepare to break out with a flying boat.
