The Imperial Army hadn't gotten a single piece of information in the pass for five days, and their trialists infiltrating the pass would always trigger an alarm circle. But the Imperial Army is not worried, because they know that it is impossible for the coalition forces to maintain such a high level of vigilance for a long time, and it must be very troublesome to do so now.
In the Chinese army tent of the Imperial Army Shitian Empire Expeditionary Force, the generals of the five imperial expeditionary forces and the leaders of the demon clans of various countries gathered.
The general of the Liberation Heaven Empire asked, "Mr. Snake Fang, it has been five days since the Eastern Alliance blocked the news, what do you think?" ”
Snake Fang stroked the pet on his neck, smiled coldly, and said, "They should already know the source of the plague by now, right?" But it was useless to hide their ears and steal the bell like this, the plague had been incubating for five to eight days, and it had been exactly five days since they realized that it was the plague and started to take measures, and now was the time when they had the most headaches. Prepare to attack, everyone, break through this wall, and victory is at hand. ”
The general of the Garo Empire said: "Mr. Snake Fang, I still want to confirm, can the method you said really isolate the spread of the plague?" I don't want our warriors to fall to the plague after breaching the walls. ”
"Rest assured, as long as you cover your face and your skin doesn't come into direct contact, you won't get infected. Prepare to cook, feast the soldiers, and then go and claim our victory. ”
Luo Han stood at the head of the city, looking at the smoke rising from the outside of the valley, it was not yet time to eat, so Luo Han knew that this was a signal that the imperial army was about to attack.
"The order was given, all the uninfected soldiers were ready to fight, and all the war supplies were out of the warehouse. Opened and closed the door and sent all the infected soldiers to Baiying for isolation and treatment. Except for the necessary personnel, all other logistics will be withdrawn from Yugu Pass. ”
One order after another was issued in an orderly manner, the Yugu Pass was opened towards the city gate of the Eastern Alliance, and the carts left the Yugu Pass under the traction of oxen and horses, while the 20,000 soldiers who had not yet erupted began to wear armor and gather under the city wall on this side of the Imperial Army, waiting for the moment of death.
"Woo-" The long horn sounded, and the blackened Imperial army covered their faces with linen cloth and walked into the valley road in neat steps. Assembled city trucks, ladder trucks, and catapult trucks mixed in the crowd, and they were pushed to Yugu Pass.
The first to attack was the catapult, and the fist-sized stones were thrown by the catapult towards the Jade Drum Pass, smashing them on and under the city wall, smashing the unlucky ones who couldn't dodge to the point of bleeding. Not to be outdone, the coalition forces threw the clay pots over the city wall and smashed them on the ground outside the city wall. The clay pot cracked, splashing a large splash of water, but it was a jar of fire oil. As the Imperial soldiers began to charge, rockets fell to the ground, igniting the oil and turning the outside of the walls into a sea of fire. Not only did the Imperial soldiers have to dodge the normal pouring of arrows, but they also had to make their way through the flames to reach the relative safety of the city walls before their armor was ignited. It's just that the coalition forces are not so merciful, and the mechanism that has not been used until now is activated, and rows of egg-sized holes suddenly appear in the seemingly tight walls, and rows of specially made spears pierce the walls, piercing the enemies crowded under the walls, and then retracting.
The ladder cart of the Imperial Army finally waded through the fire to the city wall under the impetus of the soldiers, and the wheels that had been treated with fire protection had been burned to pieces, and there was basically no chance to push them back. The ladder cart descended from the ladder and landed on the city wall, and the hook on it locked the city wall, and the Imperial soldiers fixed the ladder cart and began to storm the city wall along the ladder. And the Imperial army's storming carts also rushed to the front line, constantly ramming the blocked city gates.
The worst of the siege finally came, and the allied soldiers condescended to slaughter the siege Imperial army, while the Imperial soldiers stormed the city with all their might and counterattacked. This time, both sides showed their determination to throw a steady stream of reserve forces into the narrow city walls, with no tactics or conspiracy, and only relied on the blood of the soldiers to decide the victory or defeat.
Even in such a small battlefield, hundreds of people will lose their lives every minute, and almost no one can fight until their physical strength is exhausted, and they will die under the opponent's sword and gun. The trialists on both sides occupied their own high places, silently watching the fight on the city wall, waiting for the moment when the victory or defeat would be decided.
This time, the coalition army took out all the materials to defend the city, relying on the small space outside the city wall, the archers could throw and kill without going up the city wall, causing huge casualties to the Imperial army. So the battle damage ratio is quite acceptable, almost one to three. But as time went on, the proportion of Imperial warriors who briefly occupied the top of the wall gradually declined.
The battle lasted four hours, and the better-equipped and more individually powerful Imperial Army paid nearly 40,000 casualties before finally driving the coalition forces off the walls. At this time, the coalition army had less than 3,000 warriors, most of whom were archers who shot arrows under the city walls.
Luo Han was already covered in blood at the moment, and in the case of suppressing the power, he no longer knew how many enemies he had killed with the knife in his hand, Rao is endurance was amazing, and he would still feel tired when he saw the endless enemies that gave the doll.
"Withdraw!" Luo Han shouted loudly, and the soldiers reluctantly glanced at the city wall, which had been completely occupied by the imperial army, and turned their heads and ran towards the city gate on the other side.
The Imperial soldiers on the city walls waved their weapons and cheered in celebration of the bloody victory. Someone walked down the city wall and removed the debris that blocked the gate, and a large number of Imperial troops poured into the pass, and they did not pursue the remnants of the coalition army, it was no longer necessary.
In fact, if the coalition forces still have combat strength, they can rely on another wall to continue to resist, and even continue to build city walls, deploy defenses layer by layer, and use the advantage of defense to continuously consume the strength of the imperial army. But it's gone, it's all empty, there are no more usable soldiers at the Jade Drum Pass, and the coalition forces outside the Jade Drum Pass don't dare to easily step into this plagued land. This is the meaning of the Imperial Army's use of the plague, and it will be decided by the First World War.
Next, the Imperial Army will repair well, and then leave the Yugu Pass, and use the advantage of cavalry to launch a retaliatory attack on the two-legged coalition forces on the plain, completely clearing the obstacles to the expedition.
But before that, it's a good time to celebrate, and at the same time let the soldiers trim and enjoy some hard-won victories.
A steady stream of wine and meat was transported to the pass, and in addition to guarding against the dying part of the Allied army's defenders, the soldiers began to drink bitterly in the sterilized room, venting the grievances accumulated in the aggrieved siege battle, knowing that even with such a poisonous plan, they still paid the price of 40,000 men.
At night, these soldiers who had had enough to vent fell asleep, looking forward to how they should enjoy the rights of conquerors after breaking out of the Jade Drum Pass.
At some point, the moon disappeared behind the dark clouds, and it suddenly began to rain. The rain fell on the bare faces of the soldiers on duty at night. They began to rejoice that this plague was released by the strong men of the demon clan on their side, and they knew how to disinfect it, otherwise they would have to wear a stuffy face mask all the time, but they would die uncomfortably.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a dull thunderclap, and the air seemed to be fresher because of the lightning.
Thunderstorms are not so common in such places. They knew better that as they plundered the luck of the places they passed, they would be in drought for many years, and perhaps this rain would be the last to fall here.
The rain continued heavily, and in the middle of the night, a flash of fire suddenly lit up on the hillside on both sides of the Yugu Pass, followed by a dull explosion, but no one noticed it, only thought it was another lightning bolt. It wasn't until one of the trialists woke up from his sleep and rushed out of the room to look into the distance that he saw a terrible scene.
The rolling mud and stones slid down the mountains on either side of the Yugu Pass in a devastating manner, crushing everything in its path, and engulfing the trees and rocks into it to become its more powerful weapon. At this time, the sound was already very clear, and the roar like the destruction of the world rushed firmly towards the Jade Drum Pass located in the valley, and there was nothing to make it turn back.
Needless to say, no one can survive this terrain except for the trialists. The huge Jade Drum Pass has become the burial place of the more than 80,000 imperial troops, together with the soldiers who died in the previous siege battle, and the 120,000 imperial expeditionary forces, all of which were buried here.
Compared to the viciousness of the Imperial Army trialists, the ruthlessness of the Alliance trialists is not far behind. Originally, their plan was to create a blasting point outside the Yugu Pass, and blast it when the Imperial Army invested a large number of troops to attack the city, causing the mountain to collapse and kill all the Imperial troops in the valley. But in fact, this may be able to inflict heavy damage on the Imperial Army, but it cannot be completely destroyed, because of the terrain restrictions of the valley road, the Imperial Army cannot be fully invested, and the siege is often during the day, and there are still some people who are lucky enough to escape in advance. But it was good to die, the imperial army came up with a means to break through the plague, and the trialists saw that most of the Jade Drum Pass could not be held, so they simply took advantage of the situation and changed the location of the trap to the Jade Drum Pass, and the timing was changed to the night, the rest time after the battle. Because they had the exact time, they also created dark clouds in advance, and logically carried out an artificial rainfall, escalating a simple landslide into a mudslide.
There is no need to question the ability of the trialist, Luo Han has the ability to control a large area of air flow a long time ago, Huayu's ice ability is used to create cold air condensation clouds without pressure, and Meng Fei has artificial lightning, which has the basic conditions for creating a thunderstorm. In addition, Cheng Zhen has the ability to manifest items, other trialists also have various strange abilities, and there are some things in everyone's watches, and artificial rain is not a problem.
The Yugu Pass was built in the valley road, of course, there was a consideration to defend against the collapse of the mountain, but for this plan, the defenders had already quietly moved their hands and feet, and the power of the natural disaster deliberately created this time was too great, and it was impossible for manpower to resist.
The rain finally stopped, the clouds slowly dispersed, and the moonlight shone the earth again. At the original site of the Jade Drum Pass, nearly two hundred trialists silently looked at the valley that had turned into a swamp, waiting for the verdict of the trial ground.
At this moment, all that remains of the Imperial Army is a part of the people who are looting supplies in the cities in the rear, but what is the use of that? Could it be that those people still have the ability to conquer the hundred countries of the East?
Finally, the hint of the proving ground sounded in everyone's minds: "The Imperial Expeditionary Force has lost more than 95% of its ranks, and it is judged defeated." All Imperial Camp Trialists have failed their quest, and the second quest begins: Due to the defeat of your faction, you have lost the qualification to capture Qi Luck, and you will not be able to rely on Qi Luck to enter the Great Lei Yin Temple. However, the golden cicada will set off from the Tang Dynasty in fourteen years and go to the Great Lei Yin Temple to obtain the true scriptures to purify all sentient beings. The tenth generation of the golden cicada practice, the blessing is profound, and if you drink it with special materials mixed with the golden cicada blood, you can get the opportunity to enter the Great Lei Yin Temple. However, the blood of the golden cicada is only limited to the first two hundred, and after the Eastern Trialist extracts the golden cicada luck of the golden cicada, this number will be reduced. The required documents are as follows......"
At the same time, the Alliance Trialists were also given a hint, but it was in a different style.
"Tsk, you trialists were supposed to be the protagonists of this battle, and we thought about how we would have to die hundreds and eighty. I didn't expect you to come up with such a hand and directly bury the Imperial Army. Congratulations, as a result of your victory, you have captured the Empire's Luck Blessing, and depending on your contribution, the amount of King's Heart Blood required to build the Tower of Babel will be reduced by a different amount. There is also good news that, in view of the great contribution you have made to the peace of life, the righteous monks have decided to put aside their prejudices about you, and as long as you do not do bad things, you will be able to live in peace with them. The bad news is that since you have sabotaged the mission of the Imperial Camp Trialists, they will become your competitors. As the winner, you can know that what they do to Tang Xuanzang may endanger Tang Xuanzang's life, and what you do to Tang Xuanzang will also affect their task completion rate. Come on, you still have time to prepare. ”
Everyone was a little confused, accustomed to the cold, mechanical prompts of the proving ground, and this time the prompts felt so strange that everyone had to confirm with each other that it was someone prank. But apparently this is the Proving Ground prompt, except that the person who is speaking is a self-aware person, eighty percent of whom are the designers of the scene.
At the end of the war, the trialists dispersed, returning to their respective homes to continue building the Tower of Babel, waiting for the appearance of a vital material. And Luo Han holds the title of commander of the coalition forces, and there is still a lot of finishing work to be done. For example, the treatment of soldiers infected by the plague, the pension of soldiers killed in battle, the expenses that each country needs to bear, and the distribution of the spoils of war (the large number of mounts left by the Imperial army outside the valley). However, although it is tedious, it is still worth it, because the income of the Storm Squad is the highest of all teams, and after some deductions, the amount of their king's heart is directly up to the standard, and there is no need to worry about this kind of thing anymore. What's more, Luo Han used this battle to become famous in the Western Regions, which is bound to be helpful for future tasks.
