Chapter 136: In the face of danger
I can't retreat in any case, because this is the only barrier that can be defended, but just when I was ready to fight hard, I saw Shuangruo ordering five thousand soldiers and a dozen demon foxes to retreat.
I was shocked in my heart, but if Shuang Ruo ruled the army and strictly forbade it, the five thousand soldiers and demon foxes did not hesitate to retreat in an orderly manner, I wanted to remind Shuang Ruo that once he lost this favorable terrain, he didn't want to say that he would be able to hold on until dawn and be able to drive straight into the Qingqiu country in a moment, but I saw that Shuang Ruo's face was resolute and calm, since Yinyue had entrusted him with a heavy task, it must be trust, and even if he was outnumbered by the enemy, this trust became particularly important, I took a deep breath and looked up at the full moon while retreating, There is still a long time before dawn, but we are running out of time these days.
Until we retreated to the exit of the canyon, Frost raised his hand and signaled the whole army to stop and block the exit and prepare to go, I look at the terrain here, behind us is an open area where there is no danger to defend, the army of the corpse on the opposite side has occupied the passage of the canyon, we have lost the last barrier, once the corpse of the corpse quickly launched a surprise attack, it will be difficult for our 5,000 people to hold on for a moment.
Just when the army in front of the corpse was less than a hundred paces away from us, Shuangruo nodded to a soldier behind him, and the soldier immediately bent his bow and shot an ignited rocket into the sky, and in an instant I heard the sound of the boulder falling on the cliff above the narrow passage, and looked up to see that the fire was burning on the steep cliff, and the armor wearing the costume of Qingqiu Country continuously lifted the boulder down from it.
The boulder fell from the sky so that the corpse of the extravagant was unguarded, and suddenly the people turned over on their backs and turned over the square inch, and the huge shield that was used to protect it also collapsed to the ground, and the boulders smashed into the army of the corpse in the passage, and the narrow passage was congested by the corpse of the corpse, and it was impossible to dodge at all, and the wails in the entire passage under the boulder came and went, and everywhere you could see the corpse of the corpse that was smashed into flesh by the boulder in an instant.
The sudden falling rocks made the former army of the corpse of the luxurious who was still fearless just now suddenly flee in a panic, and even did not hesitate to trample on the fallen of the same clan, countless of the corpses of the corpse were trampled to death by their own race, and the corpses of the corpses that poured into the passage hurriedly retreated, but the entrance of the canyon has now been blocked by boulders and there is no way to retreat, and these corpse troops are completely blocked in the passage.
Only then did I understand the intention of Frost Ruorang to retreat, she wanted to lure the enemy deep into the terrain here, she already knew the terrain here, and she already knew herself and the other side after fighting with the corpse for a long time, she should have expected that after the attack of the corpse was blocked, she would use the shield to advance layer by layer, so she deployed soldiers and falling rocks on the cliff above the passage long before meeting the enemy, just to give a blow to the corpse of the corpse that went deep into the canyon.
Now that the corpse of Haobi was defeated and fled in a hurry, but the retreat was blocked, Frost saw the time and waved his hand heavily, and the demon fox beside him waited for the opportunity to move and rushed out violently and ferociously, and the five thousand soldiers behind him also pulled out their blades and slashed at the trapped corpse.
Now I have to admire that Shuangruo is really leading the troops, only 5,000 people can advance and retreat freely in the face of danger, the entire canyon passage is now completely turned into a bloody massacre, those trapped luxury corpses are still trying to resist in a hurry, but without the protection of the giant shield, they can not resist the ferocity of the demon fox at all, and the knocked down luxury corpse was slashed by the swarming armor behind before they could get up, the heavy smell of blood wafted in the canyon, and the sound of fighting mixed with the wails of the luxury corpse echoed in the depths of the canyon, It wasn't until the sound died down that the canyon was full of red-eyed soldiers and demon foxes covered in the blood of extravagant corpses, and the fragmented wreckage and pools of blood fell on my eyes.
After killing the corpse trapped in the passage, if the frost immediately regrouped, the five thousand soldiers and the demon fox immediately re-stood in battle, and after the third attack of the corpse was repulsed, I looked at the blocked entrance to the canyon and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that if the frost received the order to resist the enemy, it was prepared to fight, and the full moon gradually began to move eastward, if it could hold on for a while, it would be the dawn that the silver moon said.
I looked at the entrance to the canyon blocked by boulders, and the army of the corpses should not be able to launch another new attack for the time being, and these boulders will be enough for the corpses to be cleaned up for a while, which will help us delay a little longer.
It didn't take me long to look up at the moon in the night, never before did I look forward to the dawn as I did now, the bright moonlight illuminated the canyon that had turned red, and then a thick layer of dark clouds quickly obscured the moon, and the whole canyon was instantly plunged into darkness.
The dark clouds pressed lower and lowered, as if the canopy of heaven had suddenly collapsed, and there was a suffocating oppression.
Yes!
A scream of pain rang out around me, followed by a torrential rain of arrows, and I realized that the dark clouds that obscured the moonlight were actually a rain of arrows shot by the corpse of Habi outside the canyon, and the soldiers around me were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another.
"Arrow Strike!"
Frost Ruo shouted, although many soldiers were killed on the spot by the rain of arrows, but the usually well-trained place did not be alarmed, hearing Frost Ruo's shout, the armor raised their shields and intertwined together above their heads to form a huge barrier that was impermeable, we bent down and hid below the ears The whistling arrows never stopped, presumably the corpse of Yubi saw that we occupied the favorable terrain in the canyon, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it rained like a rainstorm and rained pear blossoms into the canyon to shoot a steady stream of arrows.
The overhead was full of the sound of arrows hitting the shield, and the arrows used by the burly corpse were much larger than the bows and arrows used by the Qingqiu Kingdom, and they were extremely sharp and could directly penetrate the shield, and there were soldiers who were shot by the piercing shield everywhere, once someone fell, the person next to him left and raised the fallen shield, but the arrow rain of the corpse never stopped, and the shield above our heads would be broken sooner or later.
Sou!
An arrow pierced through the shield above my head, the sharp blade of the arrow grazed my shoulder, and suddenly pierced a deep wound, blood continued to surge out, I was secretly surprised in my heart, Qin Yanhui once told me, although I am the reincarnation of the Hades Emperor, but before the real incarnation, I am still flesh and blood, and the Netherworld power I have can only be used to resist mana attacks, but ordinary swords can hurt me.
Although this corpse is a monster, it doesn't have demonic power, they all rely on the powerful power of Kong Wu to fight, so the blade of the corpse can also kill me, Frost Ruo hurriedly helped me bandage the wound, but my eyes were staring at the entrance of the canyon blocked by the boulder on the opposite side, the corpse is now stepping up to clean up the boulder blocking the road, I think Shuangruo's plan is that when the army of the corpse cleans up the boulder, it will be blocked with a bow and arrow again, so as to delay time.
But now that the corpse is taking the lead, we are suppressed by the rain of arrows, not to mention blocking, we can't even move, according to the speed at which the corpse cleans up the boulder, it must be that the entrance to the canyon will be reopened soon.
The shields in the hands of these soldiers are becoming more and more difficult to resist the rain of arrows from the corpses, and there are only 5,000 people left, and they have suffered heavy casualties under the repeated arrow attacks, and the shield barrier above our heads is becoming more and more sparse, and if this continues, these 5,000 soldiers will be killed alive as targets in the canyon sooner or later.
I clenched my fists and stood up suddenly, the flame in my hands rose again, my hands slowly lifted upward, and the thick hoarfrost under my feet quickly spread in the canyon, covering along the steep cliffs on both sides, and then these hoarfrost quickly condensed above our heads under my control, and in an instant a wall of ice condensed by hard frost appeared above the canyon passage.
This hoarfrost is condensed by the resentment of the netherworld, and how can it be penetrated by the arrows of the corpse, and the rain of arrows is shot on the ice wall without the slightest reaction and breaks, we finally have a chance to breathe without worrying about the powerful arrows, frost should hurry up to treat the wounded soldiers and count the soldiers who can still fight, and regroup and wait.
More than half of the soldiers gathered under the attack of arrows suffered casualties, and they could only barely form a defensive formation, but the boulder at the entrance of the canyon on the opposite side was about to be cleaned up by the powerful army of extravagant corpses, presumably a new round of attacks would be launched soon.
"There is Lao Ming Emperor who retreats to the cliff first with the wounded soldiers." Frost Ruo turned around and said to me with a stern face.
"Retreat?" I was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook my head resolutely. "I promised Yinyue to help her resist the enemy, and she would not retreat for ten miles outside the city, no matter what the outcome is today, as long as I am alive, I will not take half a step back."
"The Emperor of the Underworld doesn't know, it's not that the Emperor of the Underworld retreats, but I have already deployed the falling rocks on the cliff, and the arrows that can give orders were attacked by the arrows just now, and the soldiers in charge of the arrows were killed and wounded, and the arrows were also at a loss. Shuangruo looked at me very calmly and said. "Only if the Emperor of the Dead first retreats to the cliff with the wounded soldiers, I will lead the troops to block and clean up the entrance of the canyon to the corpse of the corpse can delay time, and when the entrance is cleared, the Emperor of the Immortal will order the soldiers above to push down the falling rocks and kill the army in front of the corpse, so that the entrance to the canyon can be closed again, at least it can help us hold on for a long time."
If Frost is reasonable and can see that these soldiers are obedient to her, once the time comes, the arrow will not be able to send out the arrow, and the fighter will allow the corpse to take advantage of it, and now more than half of the remaining soldiers have been killed and wounded, and it is difficult to resist the army of the corpse, so the falling rock has become the last hope.
I nodded and told Frost Ruo to be careful and wait until I put down the falling rocks, I will rush back immediately, Frost nodded and sent a demon fox to follow, I didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly withdrew from the canyon with the surviving wounded soldiers, and quickly ran to the cliff under the leadership of the demon fox.
