Chapter 231: Grandmaster's Grave
Chapter 231: The Tomb of the Grandmaster
……
Gu Xiyu originally stayed in the rear and had nothing to do, and he didn't want the people from his Xuannu Hall to be scouts and kill some small soldiers. The most important thing is that there are so many martial arts masters to go to kill the enemy, which is enough. However, what she never expected was. The big battle has not yet begun, and the scout contest between the two sides has reached the point where it is in full swing. The wounded and corpses kept coming back, and scouts kept reporting on the horrific conditions.
After the corpse of Zuo Mingtang, the head of the Wuyue faction, was returned. She couldn't sit still anymore, because she found that the injuries on Zuo Mingtang's body were caused by at least two grandmasters. One was a person from the Great Snow Mountain, the largest sect in the Western Regions, and the other was a Qimen weapon that she had never seen before. Zuo Mingtang has nothing to do with her, although he has half a hair.
But the fall of the friendly grandmaster made Gu Xiyu angry and a little self-blaming. Hurriedly personally led more than a thousand Xuannu Hall disciples to the front line.
Not to mention that Jing Xuan returned to Jiayuguan to recuperate, the confrontation between the elite forces that occurred in the Qilian Mountains and the Beishan Mountains had reached a fever pitch. Master Shaolin Wuxiang and his eighteen Arhats have become a remarkable force on the battlefield. Although there are only thirteen Arhats at this time. But their group, although they are not good at sneak attacks, but the masters who died in their hands have reached three digits. In particular, at the moment of crisis, Wuxiang cast the mad wand method, single-handedly killing a Rakshasa master wearing leather armor and wielding a thin sword, and capturing a powerful Mughal master with black skin and soft bones. The rest of the first-grade and second-grade masters were killed by the Arhat Array and the Mad Wand Method.
And the Demon Gate Shen Canghao is not to be outdone. Although he had only killed a foreign grandmaster who was wrapped in a white robe, that grandmaster had already reached the point of condensing into liquid. And the other people who died under him and the Demon Gate were more than Shaolin.
The rest of the sects and factions also suffered countless casualties, but they also killed a lot of enemies. Fortunately, there was only one Grandmaster who died in battle, and two who were seriously injured and retreated. On the other hand, two were killed in battle, two were captured, and two were seriously injured and retreated.
After Gu Xiyu led the crowd to join the battle group, Dazhao Jianghu suddenly relaxed. However, the other party felt unprecedented pressure. Gu Xiyu, as a master of the innate secret realm, has repeatedly shot. But the only people who are worthy of her action are those at the level of grandmasters. The rest of the people were handed over to the Xuannu Hall to be killed, or captured alive.
In just a few days, plus the one at the beginning, there were four grandmasters who were captured by her. There were also countless enemy masters who died in the Nine Heavens Xuannu Killing Array, and her arrogant actions naturally provoked the opponent's innate powerhouse. The innate powerhouse from the Great Snow Mountain entered the battlefield with a group of people again. Casualties on both sides are constantly mounting.
After Gu Xiyu lost several sisters, she finally blocked the innate nature of Daxue Mountain. After a fierce battle between the two sides. The congenital serious injury in Daxue Mountain escaped, but Gu Xiyu was not much better, he was seriously injured, and was sent back to Jiayu Pass by the sisters of the Xuannu Palace.
Aside from the battle for reconnaissance rights between the two sides, the coalition army also began to move. The massive, endless army gradually moved towards the Hexi Corridor with a slow, unstoppable momentum.
At this time, Zhao Zhe had already arrived at the rear of the other party. More than 1,000 Golden Eagle Flying Horsemen were divided into ten teams, desperately attacking each other's supply routes. Although the coalition forces also attached great importance to supply routes, they also had heavy troops and some skilled guards to protect them during the transportation of materials. But the Golden Eagle Flying Ride not only comes and goes like the wind, but also has many masters and strong strength.
Convoys were strangled to death on the way, although not completely cut off the back of the coalition forces. But at least for a short time, their supplies will become extremely strained. Three or four million troops, I don't know how many supplies are consumed every day. As long as they do not keep up for a few days, their food and other materials will become extremely scarce.
Zhao Zhe personally led the Huya Army and destroyed two large sums of materials delivered by the Mughal Dynasty and the Rakshasa Kingdom respectively with a ground-based assault. The two supplies were extremely large and terrifying, and the number of people transported had exceeded 100,000. If they are really transported to the front line, the food alone will be enough for the coalition forces to eat for a month or two.
This is also Zhao Zhe's shit luck, although the other party calculated that Zhao Guo would definitely come to attack the logistics line, he had already strengthened his precautions. However, what the coalition military never expected was. Zhao Zhe was able to rely on the small world to let the Huya Army ambush a transport team of more than 100,000 people. Although the transport team was mostly composed of militia and its combat effectiveness was very weak, Zhao Zheneng secretly attacked and defeated the transport team with a crowd of thousands of people, which can be regarded as a brilliant battle.
The powerful and terrifying combat power of the Tiger Tooth Army has only now really revealed its fangs. Nearly two hundred grandmasters, more than eight hundred first-grade peak masters, plus terrifying war horses and armor. It was effortless to deal with those militias who were weak in battle, and under a sneak attack.
In less than ten days, the coalition supply lines were destroyed. Although Zhao Zhe was distressed by the consumption of spiritual energy, he still gritted his teeth and packed all the looted materials, including weapons, armor, bows and arrows, food, etc., into the small world. Because Da Zhao himself is also very short of these things.
……
After doing these things, Zhao Zheying didn't land. The Tiger Tooth Army and the Golden Eagle Flying Horse were stuffed back into the small world, and they returned to Jiayu Pass as quickly as possible. Although he was mentally prepared, the scout battle would definitely be fierce. But what I never expected was that it would be so intense. Jing Xuan was poisoned and injured, Murong Jun was seriously injured and broke an arm, and Zuo Mingtang was killed in battle. Even Gu Xiyu, after a congenital hard fight with the enemy, was seriously injured.
Zhao Zhe, who had his hands free, roared angrily in Jiayu Pass. Personally led the tiger teeth resting in the small world, and the two armies of the golden eagle slaughtered into the Qilian Mountains and the dense forests of the North Mountain, which are called the tomb of the grandmaster. With two perverted armies participating in the war, both sides have reached the end of the crossbow, and the balance of power is suddenly broken.
In just two days, the civilian masters and scouts of the coalition army were swept away. He also caught two grandmasters, as well as a master who killed hundreds of more than three grades of the other party.
In all fairness, put aside Zhao Zhe's small world. The combined non-governmental power of those countries is generally greater than that of Dazhao Jianghu. Especially the Mughal and Rakshasa countries, their comprehensive combat power is almost not inferior to that of Dazhao. Putting aside Wu Sizang, who was stabbed in the back of Da Zhao like a nail, all the grandmasters of the rest of the countries combined, should be no less than fifty, which is still the number on the surface. God knows if they have some reinforcements, or hidden strength. For example, some countries around the Mughal Dynasty, although they did not explicitly send troops, but the countries that were friendly to him could still borrow some masters. It can be seen that the number of masters on the other side is also quite a lot. Especially the Great Snow Mountain, the number one faction in the Western Regions, is extremely strong, almost not inferior to the Xuannu Palace. And their people are good at sneak attacks, assassinations.
It was really because of the people of the Great Snow Mountain that this battle was so tragic. Fortunately, Gu Xiyu made a timely move, and he did not hesitate to be injured and retreated from the congenital of Daxue Mountain. Otherwise, the casualty rate of Dazhao Jianghu will probably have to be doubled. is as strong as Shen Canghao and Wuxiang, and they may not be able to come back alive safely.
However, Da Zhao's advantages were also something they never imagined. Through the small world, Zhao Zhe created the terrifying Huya Army and the Golden Eagle Flying Horse. The strength of these two special combat forces, although it will not be able to turn the tide of the war on their own. But at least it is guaranteed that in the clash of high-end forces between the two sides, Da Zhao is definitely the side that takes advantage.
It is true that this battle was fought fiercely. But it was Da Zhao who took advantage of it. The other party has lost more than three masters, and there are many more than Da Zhao. Especially on the Grandmaster's side, the other party's losses were extremely heavy. Of course, the first credit is to cherish the rain. If it weren't for her, regardless of her status as an innate powerhouse, she took the lead in intervening in this scout battle. In the end, Da Zhao's battle losses may be more than those of the coalition forces.
The performance of the two old guys, Wuxiang and Shen Canghao, is also eye-catching, after all, they belong to the kind of guys who are strong even among the grandmasters. Even Zhao Zhe's personal combat effectiveness is inferior to them. Such a performance is not eye-catching.
……
Da Zhao's side can be regarded as a victory in the first battle. At least, the initiative was temporarily seized in terms of scout detection. However, at this time, the coalition forces had already driven to the mouth of the canyon. In the face of those potholes, full of obstacles on the plains. They had already received definite information from the scouts who had fled back. There are no surprises in this.
Similarly, a large number of light infantry served as a road-filling and obstacle relieving function. Da Zhao digs the pit very quickly, but it is not slow when the opponent's infantry fills the pit with a larger number of infantry. It's just that, to a certain extent, the coalition's operational capacity has been greatly reduced. Of course, the most important thing is not as simple as dragging the action. Bands of crossbowmen appeared in the dense pit formations of Silla.
Arrows, like flying locusts, shot out of the pit and hurled at the allied infantry who filled the pit. The frightening number of infantry, not to fight, but to fill holes, naturally did not equip heavy shields, nor did they wear heavy armor. Naturally, it was difficult to resist the attack of those sharp arrows, and there were many casualties.
The distance between the Great Zhao crossbowmen and the allied infantry was densely covered with many pits. Although the infantry could get around, there was certainly no way to charge. For a time, the frontmost pit-filling infantry was in chaos, either jumping into the pit to dodge, or turning around and running.
The cry of the golden eagle sounded in the sky above, and a group of golden eagle flying horses began to dive down.
