Chapter 43 The Three Armies Strike Together
At this time, Gongzi defeated the enemy and retreated the Divine Fire Soldiers, returned to the banner, and saw that the Holy Xiong Ao was sent back to the Holy Cloud Realm, and he could only be summoned back after three years. Gongzi was very angry when he defeated the enemy, and immediately commanded the tiger eaters in the sky and the corpse beasts on the ground to launch a general attack and attack Caicheng.
"You must give me Xiong Qiji and Zhan Wuxian, and give me ten thousand pieces." Childe shouted angrily.
Corpse beasts and tiger eaters flocked to the south gate of Caicheng like a tide, and swooped down on Xiong Qiqi and Zhan Wuxi. Seeing this, Fei Wuji and Baili Benlei also commanded the Shenhuo soldiers and the Rujin soldiers to fight hard to block, and gradually retreated to the south gate of Caicheng to protect Xiong Qiji, both armies fought hard, regardless of life and death, there was no order, and neither side retreated. Although there were a large number of corpse beast pawns, they couldn't attack for a while, and occasionally a few broke through the block, and they were also beheaded by Zhan Wuxian's sword. And in the air, although there are gold and bronze flying beasts of the Yang clan fighting hard, feather arrows and arrows are not missing, but after all, the number is too small, and most of them are injured, Yang Shooting Night and Gong Lose Day both died in battle, the combat power of the Yang clan is greatly reduced, and the tiger eater beast breaks through the defense line, some of them attack Zhan Wuxian and Xiong abandon the disease, and the other part flies towards Caicheng City.
Xiong Qiqi has the protection of the Divine Fire Soldiers, and he is safe for the time being, but Cai Cheng is full of unarmed people, and once the Tiger Eater Beast attacks, Cai Cheng will be devastated.
Seeing this, Xiong Qiji collapsed on the ground. He looked at the sunset like blood, the corpses piled up on the battlefield, the halberds were broken, the yellow sand was soaked in blood, and the wails shook the sky. The coalition forces suffered numerous casualties, and they dragged their lame legs, with remnants of arrows left at the base of their legs, and blood seeped out from the arrow wounds, dragging a long trail of blood on the ground. Some people held the severed arm of one arm, who didn't know if it was themselves or their companions, and they were dripping blood drop by drop, as if they could hear the sound of ticking. Frightened and desperate, they walked towards the gate of Caicheng step by step, completely ignoring that there were corpse beasts behind them who would kill them at any time.
Xiong Qi turned his head and saw that his banner had collapsed with the high platform, and the flag was a symbol of the commander, a symbol of the army, and a symbol of victory. As soon as the flag fell, it meant that he was defeated. Xiong Qiji was already desperate, and he had no desire to live. Xiong Qiji picked up a broken Ge on the ground and was about to commit suicide. Zhan Wuxian caught a glimpse of it in the fight, and flew over to grab Xiong Qiji's wrist: "Do you want to die, still a man?" If you want to die, die before the soldiers of the three armies and before all the people of the city. ”
"Sir, how do you tell me to live?" Xiong Qiqi began to cry.
"Let's go back to the city first, and then think about it in the long run." Zhan Wuxian used his last strength to conjure up eight red-clothed phantom warriors, two of whom helped Xiong Qiji, and the other six carried the corpses of the two apes, while he held the little white ape and fought and retreated, retreating towards the city gate.
At the head of the city, Mo Wuya saw Zhan Wuxian besieged from a distance, she was worried about her husband's safety, so she quickly put Zhan Chi on her back, tied it with hemp rope, and ordered a thousand men and horses to rush out of the south gate to pick up Zhan Wuxian.
When he came to the city gate, the city guard would not open the door even if he died. "Cai Gong said that he was not allowed to open the door without his order."
Mo Wuya said angrily: "If you don't open the door again, your Cai Gong will not come back." Even if he can come back, if he hears that you stopped us from saving Cai Gong, you will be the first to kill. ”
"This ......," the city keeper hesitated.
"Hi man. Don't be so hard-hearted, you see how many people have died outside the city. A soldier behind Mo Wuya said.
"If you don't open the door again, kill him first." Another soldier said.
"Okay, open the ......" The word "door" of the city keeper has not yet been spoken, and Mo Wuya's dragon tendon slash has already made a move to open the city gate. The soldiers swarmed out behind him.
As soon as they rushed halfway through, some of the corpse beasts and tiger eaters came one after another, and the two sides happened to meet, so they didn't answer, and they scuffled together. Mo Wuya took the lead, and the dragon tendons attacked up and down, defending front and back. Kill the tiger eaters in the sky on the top, kill the corpse beasts in front of you below, and take care of Zhanchi on the back behind. Fortunately, the number of corpse beast pawns rushing over was not too many, and after a while, Mo Wuya led a thousand soldiers to kill a bloody path, advancing forward, and gradually reaching Zhan Wuxian's place. Mo Wuya left the 1,000 soldiers and did not advance further, allowing them to stop the corpse beast soldiers from attacking the city gate. However, looking behind him, the thick city gate had already been closed.
For a while, the two sides fell into a fierce battle, most of the corpse beast pawns and grizzly bears against the Divine Fire Soldiers and the Spirited Jinshi, the Tiger Eaters against the defenders of the city head and the archers of the Yang clan, and a small group of corpse beast pawns and Tiger Eaters besieged Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya. If either side has the help of a new force, they can defeat the other side in one fell swoop and win the war.
At the moment of despair on both sides, there seemed to be white clouds floating in the southwest, covering the sky and the sun, pressing down into the air, and the speed was extremely fast, and in a short time it flew over the battlefield. At this time, any change on the battlefield is fatal to the other side, and the psychological impact on both sides is also huge. It's like a person who is constantly suffering major blows, and as soon as there is a wind and grass, the nerves are particularly tense.
Seeing the white clouds in the sky, Childe's face was solemn and thoughtful, after all, he now has the upper hand. And Zhan Wuxian gasped, suddenly shocked, and said in his heart: Could it be that Gongzi summoned some monster after defeating the enemy, could it be a flying bear this time? The power of the Holy Bear Ao was still making his heart palpitate.
When the "white cloud" flew closer, Zhan Wuxian showed a smile on his face, and put down a boulder in his heart. It turned out that the "white clouds" that flew to were the white feather people of the Feather Country, they spread their wings and soared into the air, each holding several spears in their hands, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs. The white-feathered people flew over the tiger-eating beast, and without greeting, the spears in their hands roared out, and each spear was sure to hit. In the midst of the screams, the tiger-eating beasts were momentarily disorganized, scattering and fleeing, colliding with each other, killing and injuring countless people. After the feathered people threw their spears, some went to grab the sword halberd of the corpse beast pawn and continued to project, some directly tore together with the attacking tiger eater in the air, and some took out their bows and arrows and continued to shoot the tiger eater and the corpse beast pawn. Seeing this, the corpse beast pawn on the ground immediately organized a formation and fired back with ** iron arrows, and then crossbow arrows like flying locusts flew out of the corpse beast pawn position. Due to the large number of feathered people and the tight formation, when they saw the crossbow arrows flying, they didn't have time to dodge, and they were hit by the arrows one after another and fell into the battlefield. The corpse beast guards surrounded them one after another, stabbing the injured feather man to death with Da Ge's ferocity. In the air, the Tiger Eater also reorganized its formation and launched a charge towards the Feathered People. The feathered people had to deal with enemies on the ground and in the air at the same time.
All of a sudden, a ground-to-air battle and an air-to-air battle unfolded tragically. Under the light of the setting sun, pieces of feathers, white, pink, and red, fell from the sky, like heavy snow falling from the sky, like snow and blood, crying out! Great!
The feathered people did not flinch, and they all took their bows and arrows and fired back. They saw that some of the tiger eaters were about to fly over Cai Cheng, and in order to prevent the tiger eaters from flying into the city, the feather people divided into a pursuit, using bows and arrows and bodies to prevent the tiger eaters from approaching Cai Cheng. For a while, the Tiger Eater was attacked by the Air Feather Man and Cai Cheng's defenders, suffered heavy casualties, and scattered in all directions. Looking at the corpse beasts under the city, they organized a wave after wave of offsets, and gradually advanced to Cai Chengcheng, there is still a stone's throw away, they can attack the city gate, the Divine Fire Soldiers and the Soul Jinshi are struggling to block, because the number is too small, the defense line is about to be broken.
Seeing this, the feather man flew to the sky above the corpse beast pawn, and untied a vine on his body, on which were tied a dozen earthy yellow round balls, the size of a palm, and the surface was pimple, very ugly. This ball is produced in the wilderness, in the mountains, on the cliff of the oil fruit. Before the fruit is ripe, the skin is emerald green, the skin is thick, the surface is smooth, crystal clear, and as big as a watermelon. Under the moonlight at night, you can see the clear oil rippling inside, shining brightly. During the day, the sun shines directly, but nothing can be seen, and there is chaos. The avocado blooms in one year, bears fruit in one year, and ripens in one year. When the oil fruit ripens in the third year, the green skin on the outside falls off, leaving only the earthy yellow kernel of the inner seed, and the skin becomes extremely thin, and the clear oil inside is also ripe. Sometimes the birds pick and collide, often causing mountain fires and blowing up the cliffs. Therefore, picking ripe oil fruits is extremely dangerous. Without flying stunts and special tools, you can't pick them up. Even if someone can pick it, it is difficult to transport, and there is a danger of explosion and burning at any time, and you will be killed in the fire. And to transport oil fruits, it is not necessary to build a tree and green water vine in the country of Yuren.
The feather man threw the oil fruit, thinking that the oil fruit would fall to the ground, and the corpse beast would be blown up and burned to death, but he didn't expect that the oil fruit had just taken off his hand, and was caught by the tiger eater in mid-air, and the expected result was not achieved. The feather people were at a loss for a while, and the police were about to fly to snatch it, but they saw an arrow shooting, with a meteor flying smoke at the tail, which was a divine rocket, and it was the oil fruit in the mouth of the tiger eater. In an instant, a flame the size of two zhang burst out, mixed with the sound of thunderbolts and thunderbolts, and the tiger-eating beast suddenly flew flesh and blood and disappeared.
When the feathered people saw it, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they whistled at the Divine Flame Soldier, throwing out all the oil fruits on the green water rattan, and then the dense divine rockets left the string, and the two happened to meet above the head of the corpse beast pawn. With a loud explosion of fire and thunder, the corpse beast pawn array was filled with a sea of fire, burning the corpse beast pawn to the point of wailing all over the field, scattering and fleeing, relieving Cai Cheng of the momentary danger.
Just as the corpse beast soldier was retreating, another team of men and horses came from the east, and from a distance, there were more than 20,000 people. They are all dressed in turquoise armor, like a moving forest. At the front of the team was a scholar dressed in white and riding a white horse. Behind him were four women dressed in white, and under his crotch was also a white horse, but a little smaller. The five men took their swords in their hands, like a wisp of light smoke leading the way in front of the forest, and rushed over.
"It turned out to be him!" Zhan Wu Xi said.
The son of the enemy locked his eyebrows and said in his heart: It's not good.
The white-clothed scholar was Ji Zha, the son of Wu Guo, and the four white-clothed women behind him were his personal maidservants Bai Yun, Mingyue, Chunjiang, and Huaye.
The green-clothed soldiers led by Ji Zha were the soul wood soldiers refined by Tian Shen, one of the Five Hidden Saints. I saw that the whole body of the soul wood pawn was full of rattan clothes and rattan armor, and each person held a wooden knife half a foot wide and one zhang two long, and even the handle of the knife was more than a foot long, and there was a wooden dragon hovering on it, until the back of the knife, it was completely integrated, as if it was made into heaven.
It turned out that Gongzi Jizha learned the news that Caicheng was besieged by corpse beasts, so he asked King Wu to send troops to rescue. At this time, King Chu Ling sent troops to the state of Xu, and stationed troops at the junction of Chu, Wu and Xu. Obviously, King Chu Ling's intention to be a drunkard is not in Xu but in Wu, once Wu goes to save Cai Cheng, Wu Guogu Su City must be empty, King Chu Ling can wave his army to take Wu directly, and then turn around and fight with his son to encircle and annihilate the Wu army, so as to destroy Wu and unify the south, and then wave his troops to the north to dominate the Central Plains, and then complete his desire to dominate the world.
The intentions of the Chu State are not unknown to the prince Ji Zha, but he is eager to save people, and after meeting the king of Wu to no avail, the son Ji Zha had to go north to the Qi State, hoping that the Qi State can send troops to attack Chu and save Cai Cheng from danger. Unexpectedly, the monarchs of the Central Plains countries were timid and afraid of things, and did not dare to offend the powerful Chu State. Gongzi Ji Zha touched a nose in Linzi, and suddenly thought of Tian Shen, the immortal saint of Danshan, who had a relationship with him, and sought advice from Tian Shen for swordsmanship, and also knew that his nephew Tian Yong was in Caicheng. Although Tian Shen has a strange temper, he attaches great importance to family affection, knowing that his nephew is in danger, he will definitely come to the rescue, and Tian Shen has many disciples and also has this ability.
So Ji Zha marched towards the mountain, and when he reached the halfway point, he saw the two people in front of him galloping, and the dust behind him was flying, as if there were thousands of troops. When the two saw Ji Zha, they dismounted and saluted, saying, "Mr. is Yanling Jizi?" ”
"Exactly down there."
"On the orders of the family teacher, I came to help my son and help Cai Cheng."
Seeing that there were only two of them, Gongzi Jizha was slightly suspicious: "Is it just two?" ”
"What, you don't think there are many of us?" The two of them.
"There are as many as 100,000 corpse beast soldiers, I'm afraid that even if the two are strong in martial arts and have the intention to kill the enemy, it will be a drop in the bucket, and I don't want to see the two of them die in vain."
"Haha...... childe is really benevolent." The two said: "Childe, please take a closer look." ”
Gongzi Jizha looked in the direction of the two fingers, and saw a faint layer of green shadows swaying slightly behind the two, like rows of troops standing. One of the two waved his right hand, stretched his fingers, and made a few pinching movements, and saw that the layer of green shadow gradually appeared, becoming more and more real, and finally appeared in front of Gongzi Jizha was actually 20,000 troops wearing green armor.
"This is the soul wood pawn refined by the family teacher, in order to facilitate the march and not to alarm the people of all countries, the soul shadow technique is specially used to hide the soul wood pawn figure."
"That's great, let's set off and send troops to Caicheng." Childe Jiza was in good spirits.
They galloped to Caicheng as fast as they could, and saw from a distance that the corpse beasts were like a tidal wave hitting the gate of Caicheng City one after another. Childe Ji Zha's soul wooden pawns all appeared, shocking the corpse beast pawns, and slamming the corpse beast pawn's flanks with all their might.
Gongzi Ji Zha took the lead in rushing into the corpse beast pawn array, followed by Ji Zha and the four maids, they looked weak and vulnerable, but in fact, they were fast, coming and going like the wind, merciless, and killing the enemy when they saw it.
After Ji Zha entered the battle, he was already embarrassed when he saw the dragons joining forces to besiege Jiao Qiuxin, and Tian Yong's body was lying not far away, soaked in blood.
Gongzi Jizha said angrily: "Jiao Qiu Xin stepped aside, I'll deal with these two dead zombies." "A humble gentleman will curse when he is angry.
I saw Gongzi Ji Zha flying up and jumping up, turning the pure Jun sword with one hand in the air, and using the six swordsmanship. Suddenly, the sky was covered with snow-white flying swords, there were as many as 10 million, flying and spinning, like a dragon for a while, like the wind for a while, and like a wave for a while. If you want to escape, there is no way to escape.
Ji Zha said: "Today, let your two corpse demons die without a place to be buried, and they will never be reborn." "I didn't expect the two corpse demons of the dragon and the dragon to be fearless, laughing, and not caring about the flying swords around them." Ji Zha, you are not qualified to kill us......" Before the words fell, the laughter did not stop, and ten thousand swords flew together, twisting and spinning, and the dark red highlighted in the snow-white sword light, and the two corpse demons turned into pieces in an instant.
Seeing this, Wei and Mei had no intention of fighting, and they turned around and wanted to escape. Gongzi Ji Zha was willing to let go, and at his fingers, thousands of flying swords turned into two sharp flashes, straight into the heart of the ghost and the charm. Before the second corpse demon could react, it had already been pierced by the six sword and cut off.
At that time, the Spirited Warriors, Divine Fire Soldiers, and Soul Wood Pawns united and were divided into left, center, and right. The Divine Fire Soldier was in the middle, and the Soul Warrior and the Soul Wood Pawn were lined up on the left and right, attacking the corpse beast pawn together. The combat strength of the three armies is equal, all of them are god-level, and the corpse beast pawns can no longer be stopped, and they are defeated and lost, and they are scattered and fled, running towards the banner of the enemy, as if it is a safe haven.
Childe stood on the hill and watched the battle, watching his right-hand men die, the corpse beasts were defeated, and the tiger-eaters were hunted down by the feathered people, knowing that today's defeat was decided. I saw Childe reciting the mantra silently in the mouth of the enemy, pointing to the sky with both hands, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, Childe defeated the enemy's body with red light, along his hands, shooting into the clouds. Then the remnant clouds in the sky began to roll within a range of tens of miles, the speed became faster and faster, the range became smaller and smaller, the density became larger and larger, and the color became darker and darker, and finally turned red, forming a blood-colored eye of the storm on the head of the childe and the enemy. Childe roared, and nine fire dragons erupted from the eye of the storm, burrowing into the area around the hill where Childe was attacking, and then the ground shook, the ground burned, and from time to time earth fire erupted. Childe roared again, and nine fire dragons broke out of the ground, turning into nine burning pillars of heaven, connecting the earth and the sky, and spewing fire outward. This is the secret technique of the Xiong clan of the Chu State - the Divine Fire Pillar.
There were less than 10,000 corpse beast guards left, and when they saw the Divine Fire Pillar erected, they knew that there was salvation, and they all passed through the Divine Fire Pillar into the hills. When the last corpse beast pawn passed through, the Divine Fire Pillar suddenly flourished, and the flames between the pillars were connected to each other, weaving into a layer of fire nets, sealing the entire hill.
Fei Wuji led the Divine Fire Soldiers, Baili Benlei and Chang Xingjun led the Soul Jinshi, and Gongzi Ji Zha, who led the Soul Wood Pawn to the front, and saw that the Divine Fire Pillar was fierce and could not get close. Gongzi Ji Za used the Six Lines of Swordsmanship to attack, only to see thousands of flying swords flying towards the pillar of divine fire, the sword body was not very good at first, and after a while, the white flying sword was gradually burned red, and it still did not attack.
"Childe, be slow, listen to me." Fei Wuji said: "After this battle, although the corpse beast soldiers were defeated, our army also suffered heavy casualties. Now that the Divine Fire Pillar has been erected, it is not too late to destroy the remnants of the enemy with the joint efforts of a few of us, so it is better for us to go back to the city to recuperate, clean up the damage, and discuss a way to break the Divine Fire Pillar, and then it is not too late to destroy the remnants of the enemy, I don't know what you think. ”
Gongzi Ji Za heard that this pillar was a divine fire pillar, and knew that it was an ancient artifact, and it could not be easily broken, so he withdrew the Liuyao Divine Sword.
At this time, the battle had lasted for three days and three nights, with 15,000 casualties among the Divine Fire Soldiers, 10,000 casualties among the Soul Warriors, and even the last Soul Wood Pawn to have 4,000 casualties, not to mention the allied forces of the various clans, which had already suffered all casualties. Tian Yong was killed by the dragon and the dragon, and died at night and died during the day. Jiao Qiuxin, Baili Benlei, Fox Tu, and Xian Ji were also seriously injured. At the moment, no one wants to fight anymore.
Chang Xingjun said: "Okay, let's go back to the city to cultivate first, and then let's think about it in the long run." ”
"Mr. Jiza, what do you think?" Fei Wuji asked.
This battle can be won, and the key node is that Gongzi Jizha led the soul wood pawn to arrive in time and give the corpse beast pawn the final fatal blow, so that the coalition army can win a miserable victory. Moreover, the most powerful ones now are Gongzi Jizha and the Soul Wood Pawn, although the combat power of the Divine Fire Soldier and the Soul Wood Pawn is comparable to the Soul Wood Pawn, but the casualties are too heavy, and the number is no longer enough. If Gongzi Jizha wanted to continue attacking the corpse beast pawns, it would be difficult for others to say anything, so Fei Wuji had to first obtain Gongzi Jiza's consent before withdrawing the army.
Although Gongzi Jizha came late, he also learned the combat power of the corpse beast pawn, and the soul wood pawn fought against it in less than an hour, and nearly 4,000 people were lost, which shows the fierceness and courage of the corpse beast pawn, and he is not a belligerent person, the reason why he killed the corpse, charm, dragon, and spirit as soon as he came up, was just because he was entrusted by Tian Shen and Huang Lao to protect Tian Yong. Now that he has killed the dragon, the dragon, the spirit, and the charm, and avenged Tian Yong, he has nothing else to do, so he agrees to return to the city.
Immediately, Gongzi Ji Zha personally wrapped Tian Yong's body and sent someone to hand it over to Tian Shen Huang Lao.
The defenders of Caicheng have opened the city gate, first taking Xiong Qiji and Zhan Wuxian and others back to the city, and then the three armies also entered the city one after another. After confirming that the corpse beast pawn would not come out, the defenders of Caicheng were sent to the battlefield to search for survivors. The vast battlefield is deadly silent, full of dead horses, broken flags, and mountains of dead bodies. The soldiers were like scavengers, thin and isolated.
