Tomb of Impermanence Chapter 87: The Battle of the Floating Water
As he was talking, he saw bursts of cheers from the beast and ghost tribesmen on the south bank, and a group of beast and ghost clan troops came out of the woods and walked to the shore, and the beast and ghost people on both sides got out of the way, brandished swords and guns, and raised their arms and shouted.
In front of the army of the beast clan was a group of beasts and ghosts dressed as generals, led by a young general with a sturdy body, white clothes and white helmets, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome appearance, and majestic style. He has a white beard on his face and white hair under his helmet, which looks very inconsistent with his age. He was followed by seven strange people, six men and one woman, each of the six male ghosts had a distinctive appearance, which seemed to be the transformation of the heads of six animals, but the girl who walked at the end was delicate, wearing a colorful coat and a pair of antlers on her head.
Bai Wuyan took a closer look, and said secretly: "These seven people seem to be the seven monsters of Meishan." The white-haired young general at the head is very familiar, it seems to be the white-haired boy who was an important guest in the main hall of the ghost city of Shikui two months ago, and was called the first seat by the Southern Ghost Emperor Du Ziren?
After pondering for a moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he thought: "Look at that young general, it seems that he is the leader of the Seven Monsters of Meishan, could it be that he is actually the Yuan Hong I brought to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Soul Interception Ridge?
But seeing Yuan Hong, the chief protector of Namei Mountain, he came to a high tower, jumped up to the tower, took out a yellow order flag in his hand, and made a move against the wind. I saw that in the lineup of the beast and ghost clan, a long snake came out, and each of those long snakes had the thickness of a human thigh, and they swam out one after another, lined up in several columns, and formed a long dragon.
Yuan Hong pointed the yellow order flag in his hand to the surface of the floating river, and those long snakes heard the order, raised their heads one after another, lined up in line, and quickly swam into the river.
It didn't take long to see those long snakes constantly swimming to the opposite bank, but the snakes were all floating on the water, one column after another, one after another, head and tail connected, and actually formed a long snake pontoon bridge on the river, across both banks.
The orcs cheered again.
Yuan Hong took out a brown order flag and pointed to the opposite bank, only to see a team of rhinoceros and a team of black panthers rushing out of the camp on the south bank. The rhinoceros in front and the panther in the back, ran up the long snake pontoon together, stepped on the body of the long snake, and ran straight to the opposite bank.
On the north shore of the floating water, under the red navy flag gate, a flag with the word "Rong" fluttered in the wind, and Rong Ge, the commander of the navy, held a bronze fishing fork and stood majestically on the bow of the boat. He saw those long snakes erect the pontoon bridge and extend it all the way to the north bank, at first he stood still, and when the rhinoceros and the panther army ran onto the pontoon bridge and rushed to the middle of the floating river, he saw Rong Ge shouting, and the fishing fork split a phantom shadow in front of him, and the ghost warships on both sides outflanked the center of the pontoon bridge from both sides, like a fan on both sides, slowly opening and approaching left and right.
The two armies met, and the ghost pawns on the boat raised their double-strand steel forks in their hands, not hitting the rhinoceros and panthers, but stabbing the bodies of those long snakes.
Those long snakes had already prepared and stood still, allowing those ghost pawns to stab their bodies with steel forks, and the blood flowed into the River Styx, but they were still connected from end to end, and the formation was not chaotic. Soon the rhinoceros that took the lead rushed to the north bank of the river, and the formation was scattered, and they all raised their sharp horns and rampaged in the lineup of ghost pawns.
On the north shore, the ugly ghost soldiers in red clothes and red armor, led by the red flag general Du Luoxuan, saw those rhinos rushing towards them, holding high the red iron flag in their hands, and dancing in a circle above their heads. The war drums sounded next to him, and the two teams of ugly yin ghost pawns lined up in a phalanx, each holding a red flag in their hands, aimed at the gap where the rhinoceros rushed in, and threw the flag out of their hands.
The ghost flags of the town whirred with the sound of the wind, one after another, falling from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they were all over the beachhead that had been broken through on the north shore. Those rhinoceros shuttled through the ghost banner array, and after only a while, they broke their feet and legs, and fell to the ground with a plop.
The panthers followed the rhinoceros, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately dispersed from both sides and pounced on the navy on the shore.
Rong Ge, the commander of the navy, raised his fishing fork again and swept out of the rear, giving the command. But seeing those ghost soldiers on the shore, they fell to the ground one after another, and suddenly stood up, and picked up a piece of Xuansi fishing nets that had been ambushed in advance from under the yellow sand of the river beach.
Looking at the surface of the river again, those red-armored Ziyin ghosts were all brave, and the steel forks stabbed out one after another, stabbing the long snakes floating on the river surface into holes all over their bodies, and the blood stained the river surface red. The long snake was not afraid of pain at all, and still bit together head and tail, and did not let go until death, and the pontoon bridge was not breached.
Yuan Hong looked at the tower, waved the brown flag in his hand up and down, only to hear a loud shout, and a team of beasts and ghosts with human faces and snake bodies rushed out of the lineup of the beast and ghost clan, with bird-like wings on their backs, crawling like snakes, in groups, rushing to the south bank, flapping their wings, rising into the air, and flying straight to the middle of the floating river.
This army of snakes flew over the Ziyin ghost pawn warship, opened its mouth and spit out, one bite after another, spit out countless poisonous juices, and squirted at the head and face of the ghost pawn.
Those ghost pawns were attacked by the air raids, and they couldn't resist it, and they were splashed with poisonous juice so that the skin on their faces and bodies were open, and green pus and blood flowed out, and the deeply poisoned ghost pawns immediately turned over and fell into the floating river, and their souls were scattered. In the blink of an eye, most of the ghost soldiers on the river were wiped out.
Rong Ge didn't see it well, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, retreated to the head of the water barracks, blew the horn, and saw that in the dock of the Red Banner Army, a ballista cart was launched, and those ballista cars were soon lined up on the shore, aiming at the snakes flying in the air, and swishing out fish spiny crossbows!
There are different types of fish bone crossbows, some with split spikes, some with hooks on tops, and they have an extremely fast rate of fire, which is more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows. The snakes that rushed ahead were shot by the fish's crossbows and fell into the river. The snake in the back didn't dare to lean on, and retreated again and again.
As soon as Rong Ge saw that his side had regained his position, he was very happy in his heart, and blew a trumpet again.
But seeing the original undisturbed floating river, suddenly the big waves surged, and a burst of impact on the long snake pontoon, in the sound of the waves, a water banshee with a cloak floated up from the river, only to see those few water demons open the water waves, and muttered "surge spell" to the long snake pontoon, and suddenly saw the surrounding waves turbulent, and a huge wave hit the long snake pontoon!
Those long snakes were originally stabbed by the ghost pawns and were covered in injuries, and at this time they were swept away by the huge waves, how could they still hold on, and they broke one after another, and the long snake bodies sank to the bottom of the River Styx, and soon the long snake pontoon bridge across the banks was completely destroyed.
Seeing that the war was unfavorable, the beast and ghost clan on the south bank frowned one after another, and they were silent. The ghost soldiers of the Red Banner Army on the north shore were enthusiastic and their morale was high.
