Chapter 353: Moat
Seeing that he was about to walk out of the first line of the sky, a mutation protruded, and five huge rolling stones fell out of thin air.
The Great Commander of the Demon Clan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his body rose into the air, and the blade of his sword came out of its sheath, slashing directly towards the huge rolling stone. Then the palm of the hand flipped again, and the palm knife slashed directly towards another boulder, extremely fast.
Hearing only two booms, the two boulders burst open directly, turning into countless fragments and flying out in all directions.
The Great Commander of the Demon Clan is so strong, but the rest of the Demon Clan elite are far from being able to react like this. The other three boulders slid down, and after a commotion, no one even made a move to resist, watching the three boulders smash the demon army out of a gap.
The gaze of the Great Commander of the Demon Clan froze, and a fierce light projected out, and he said sharply, I need an explanation.
The cold atmosphere made the demon clan shiver, but they only heard one demon clan elite tremble and say, "Big brother... We... We were so nervous that we forgot to resist for a while!"
In fact, after calming down, these demon clan elites understood in their hearts. It's just a few boulders, and with their strength, it's not difficult to smash them. But under that nervousness, they made the most wrong decision, that is, inaction.
At this time, the three demon clan elites who had originally jumped into the sky also walked up to the Grand Commander with their heads lowered, and said in fear, "Big brother... I'm sorry!"
The Great Commander's gaze, as if he had seen it, stabbed the three demon clan elites fiercely. only heard him say in a cold voice, "You three, but my most trusted general... But what is this? Do you regard the lives of our demon clan soldiers as child's play? Do you know that at least nearly 6,000 troops were lost just now!"
The words of the Commander-in-Chief are not an exaggeration.
The 80,000-strong army naturally needs no explanation for the degree of density. Those three not small stones fell down, and the damage caused was naturally self-evident.
The eyes of the three people were also a little red, and they said to themselves, "I'm sorry... We are all too careless, we just think that it will be foolproof to destroy those boulders on the top of the mountain, but we never expected that there would be also dense boulders on this mountainside!"
"Hehe, I think it's just that you people have too many good days, right?" The Great Commander's eyes were slightly cold, and he said angrily, "The damage this time is too great, you demon clan elites, all of you are temporarily stripped of your positions, and you are no longer allowed to ride war horses and march forward on foot with the demon clan soldiers!"
In the words of the Great Commander, no one objected, and the elites of the demon clan were also willing to accept punishment.
In fact, each of them knew very well that the Grand Commander had opened up to them. Before the battle, he lost 6,000 soldiers, although the commander was the leader of this army, but at the same time, he also needed to give an explanation to the soldiers below. If they were dealt with according to military law, they would have been a capital offense, and stripping them of their positions would only be considered light.
After some rest, regroup, continue to march, and the exit of the first line of heaven is in sight.
But I only heard the Grand Commander say sharply, "I heard, there is an unfathomable swamp land ahead, everyone be careful... How many of you are going to go and find out if there is anything we can do to get our army of 70,000 on the ground?"
The person he greeted was naturally the elite of the demon clan who had just been demoted from the horse just now, and I saw that three of them nodded, their bodies shook, and they rushed directly forward.
Half a pillar of incense, this time, they finally did not disappoint the Grand Commander. I only heard one of the demon clan elites report in a low voice, "We have finished exploring, and there is a quagmire swamp with a radius of ten steps ahead. But just now, we used the water element to condense ice on top of this quagmire, and the ice is half a meter thick enough for our army to pass!"
The Grand Commander nodded, acquiescing, and greeted softly, "Stand down!"
In the bottom of his heart, he also nodded, which is why he did not choose to punish this group of demon elites with capital crimes. On the one hand, although he needs to give an explanation to all the soldiers, on the other hand, this group of demon clan elites has followed him for decades, and they can be regarded as loyal subordinates. Whether it is ability or loyalty, he is the person he trusts the most.
Although it is dangerous to walk on thin ice, half a meter of ice is the safest road here.
The army of 700,000 demon clans successfully passed through this swampy land. Also because of the accident in the sky before, this time the demon clan will be much more cautious. Before the Grand Commander could make a move, they directly destroyed the trap threat of those tree stumps, which also saved the Grand Commander a lot of worry and effort.
In the blink of an eye, the army came to the endless plain, which was the original battle zone.
On the walls of the human race, Lan Jiu stood in the wind, and as the commander-in-chief, he did not choose to directly participate in this war. But I saw the scouts on the city wall, slowly calculating the distance of the demon army, and then reported loudly, "Three hundred steps...."
"Two hundred steps..."
"One hundred and fifty steps..."
"A hundred steps..."
The return of distance, in exchange, is naturally the saber rattling on the human side. Above the city, cold sweat slowly oozed from the cheeks of several generals, but the preparations for war were still carried out in an orderly manner. On the huge crossbow, the arrows were wound, and on the terrible catapult, the boulder wrapped in * was also loaded.
The sword or spear in the hand of every soldier was polished, and the atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely tense, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
"Eighty steps..."
"Sixty steps..."
"Fifty steps, shoot the arrow!"
Finally, the battle began. There was a sound of breaking the air, it was the sound of the strings breaking through the air on the huge bow and crossbow of the human being. Immediately, a sharp arrow with a diameter of half a meter shot out directly, stabbing towards the army of the demon clan, and at the same time, it also completely opened the human offensive.
Brush, brush, brush, and a few more sounds of breaking the sky came, and on the catapult, the boulder was wrapped with flames, blasting towards the army of the demon clan.
"Boom!"
A deafening popping sound came, as if it was a goddess scattering flowers. The huge wave hit the demon clan's body, directly hitting it hard, not only that, * Once ignited, the red flame instantly devoured the demon clan's body.
What's even more terrifying is that the human attack is not over yet, and I saw a jar of spirits launched directly from the catapult in the sky, and fell straight into the demon army.
The flame, which was not too big, was suddenly moistened, and gradually formed a huge fire dragon, which quickly spread and devoured. Lan Jiu stood in the air, a smug smile rose at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that the demon clan was not as difficult to deal with as he imagined!
"Are you all rice buckets?Don't you know how to counterattack?This level of attack, you don't know how to defend and resist?What are you holding your shield for?" With such a large battle loss, the mentality of the demon clan commander naturally collapsed a little, and he scolded sharply.
In this kind of large-scale battle, one person's strength is still a little too weak after all, just like no matter how strong the demon clan commander is, it is impossible to destroy all those boulders thrown at him, right? Only by the joint efforts of the entire army, only through concerted attacks and resistance, can we win the victory fundamentally.
After listening to the words of the Great Commander, the demon clans also learned to be smart, and hurriedly formed a formation, after all, they have experienced a lot of battles, and their reaction speed is still okay.
The army of the demon clan consciously dispersed several waves, and the number of people in each wave was about the same, which had been rehearsed before. But I saw a lot of demon clans, holding up the shields in their hands and resisting in front of them. One against the other, building an even larger shield against human attacks.
Not only that, but after the shield army, it was the crossbowmen of the demon clan.
At the sound of an order, the arrows were wound, and a wave of fire suppressed the humans on the city walls. However, the human side is not slow, and the general surnamed Zhang hurriedly ordered, "All the shield groups, defense!"
The sound of arrows hitting the shield is a lot of arrows, but fortunately, the distance is very far, and there are very few that can really reach the city wall. The human soldiers are also fighting back in an orderly manner, except for the heavy weapons themselves, even if it is a simple long-range attack, the human crossbowmen will not have the upper hand.
However, everyone knows in their hearts that 30,000 people against 70,000 people is really a lot of pressure. As far as this is concerned, the biggest advantage is still in these heavy weapons, and the terrifying lethality is really not comparable to ordinary bows and crossbows.
Lan Jiu's gaze was slightly condensed, although he did not directly participate in the battle, but in his heart, he was constantly calculating the disparity in strength between the two sides.
In the air, several huge flints were thrown, and a huge roar came, which meant that the demon clan was another big loss. But at this time, the demon army finally bought the plain of the war zone, and there was a moat in front of them, and here, it was naturally within the attack range of the two sides.
This time, the scene was even more spectacular, with countless clusters of arrows shuttling back and forth in the sky.
The Great Commander of the Demon Clan frowned, looked at the bottom, and once again lost more than 10,000 troops. Naturally, his heart hurt, and he shouted angrily, "There is a moat ahead, rush over to me and kill these damn humans!"
The elite of the demon clan naturally understood what he meant, and with a flicker, the three of them once again floated lightly on the surface of the river. With a lift of the palm, the water element quickly condensed and gradually turned into ice. With the previous strategy in the mire, they believed that as long as the ice was half a meter thick, they would naturally be able to ensure that the demon army could cross the river smoothly.
The general surnamed Zhang naturally realized what this demon clan elite was having, and hurriedly ordered, "Catapult, send the flint directly down, you must not let them freeze into ice!"
When the words fell, the general surnamed Zhang took the lead in making a move, kicked his feet with both feet, and directly kicked the two flints down, and smashed them straight towards the demon clan elite who were about to condense the water element. Not only that, the two sides are fighting, there are tens of millions of arrows, and there are naturally not a few flowing arrows, and the moat is in the center of the two sides, so there are countless arrow clusters, scattering towards the three demon elites on the moat.
