Chapter 214 Breaking the Barrier (2)

In the area of Seki Castle is a large area of mountain valley extending to the north, and most of the mountain valleys are not large except for a few high peaks. But the farther you go, the steeper the peaks become, eventually merging into the majestic mountains.

This small mountain and small valley area, which is neither wide nor narrow, is the main battlefield in the Guancheng and the second layer of defense of the Northern Hu Army. Whether it is a dirt bag or a mountain pass, there are a large number of Beihu soldiers waiting for them.

Most of the Beihu army fighting in Guancheng was annihilated by the Yanmen army, and a small number of those who withdrew from the city wall quickly ran back to the military formations in the mountains and valleys, and temporarily saved their lives under the cover of their companions.

The Yanmen army followed closely, biting the tails of these retreating soldiers and meeting the Beihu army formations in the valleys and hillsides.

The former has a fierce momentum and has the idea of taking advantage of the chaos to enter the battle formation, while the latter has a tight shield formation in the front row, like an iron wall, vowing to stabilize the position and block the Yanmen army to the death.

The Yanmen army that entered the city, the front team had already rushed to the hillside and the col, and the rear team was still entering from the city gate, with no end in sight.

Zhao Beiwang had already entered Guancheng at this time, and was directing various units to enter different combat areas.

It was also at this time that Zhao Ning used the power of cultivation in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm to transmit a voice into Zhao Beiwang's ears.

The latter was slightly stunned, and immediately looked at the Beihu army formation in the mountains and valleys, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately roared with the strength of his cultivation, and ordered the Yanmen army soldiers who were attacking the Beihu army: "Raise the shield!"

The officers and men of the Yanmen Army, who had just conquered Guancheng and were in full swing, suddenly heard Zhao Beiwang's order, and when they were shocked, they all habitually raised their shields to protect themselves.

The soldiers who did not have a big shield also bent down and moved closer to their companions with a big shield.

Almost at the same time, in the Tianyuan army array on the hillside and valley, pieces of black clouds of different sizes rose into the sky, crossed a graceful arc in the air, and smashed into the crowd of the Yanmen army with a thunderous momentum.

The sound of the impact of the arrow armor came and went in an instant, crisp and pleasant, and breathtaking.

The arrows landed on the big shield, making a dull pop sound, and many big shields were pierced by the arrows, and the soldiers behind the big shield were caught off guard, and were stabbed into the pocket, neck, and back of the shoulders by the arrows, all of which gasped in pain.

Countless soldiers of the Yanmen Army who did not have the protection of a big shield were pierced through their armor and bodies by sharp arrows, and suddenly fell backwards to the ground, either struggling or wailing, looking miserable.

The originally dense crowd suddenly revealed a lot of blanks.

This round of arrow rain fell, and the Yanmen army that rushed forward suffered a lot of losses.

Those who have a big shield are better, and those who don't have a big shield to protect their bodies will suffer one by one, unless they are elite cultivators, swinging a rune to cut down the arrows in front of them, otherwise they will inevitably be shot to the ground.

Whether it was the soldiers covered by the rain of arrows, or Zhao Beiwang and other Yanmen generals, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

It is not easy for an arrow to penetrate the iron armor, especially if it is at a long distance. But now, there are countless soldiers who have been broken by the sharp arrows of the Tian Yuan army.

Whether it is breastplate, arm armor, or skirt armor, almost all of them can be worn as soon as they are worn, the arrows of the Tianyuan Army seem to be all runes, and the Yanmen Army does not seem to be wearing armor, but pieces of paper.

"Sirius Bow!"

Zhao Beiwang's face was as black as ink, "Hu Lu's bow and arrow are really extraordinary! In front of them, the iron armor is no different from the leather armor, and the leather armor is almost equivalent to the cloth armor!"

In the face of the excellent lethality of the Heavenly Wolf Bow, the defensive power of the armor of the Yanmen Army has directly dropped by a level as a whole, which has brought about a sharp increase in casualties in the whole army.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, the Yanmen army's offensive suffered a serious setback, and within the range of the Sky Wolf Bow, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the crowd became sparse, almost unable to continue forward, and could only retreat.

This is not the first time that the Yanmen army has faced the wolf bow, and during the siege of the city, every time the infantry army takes over the city, it will be washed by the rain of arrows at the head of the city several times.

It's just that the width of the horse road at the head of the city is limited after all, and there are only so many archers that can be accommodated.

The current situation is different, the wide and long battlefield allows the Tian Yuan Army to give full play to the advantages of the Heavenly Wolf Bow, and tens of thousands of arrows fall together, which is completely different from the impact brought by thousands of arrows.

Although Zhao Beiwang's face was gloomy.

But he didn't have a way to deal with it, he had been observing the Heavenly Wolf Bow for the past few days, and Zhao Ning had also provided a lot of advice, and he had already made arrangements for the army.

"Shield!"

Zhao Beiwang shouted.

The soldiers who conquered the city in the early stage couldn't carry many big shields because they had to climb the city, and the soldiers who rushed in directly from the city gate in the follow-up were all carrying big shields.

As the elite division of the Great Qi, the Yanmen Army is not to mention anything else, the armament is first of all exceptionally excellent, and there is nothing lacking in the army. Although the big shield can't be done one by one, it is not difficult to gather and let the tribes who enter the city first have one hand.

The infantry army was faced with a strong bow, and there was no better defense than the great shield.

With the military order issued, the armor soldiers holding large shields connected to each other, lined up in rows, taking over the retreating vanguard troops, braving the sharp arrows that kept falling in the sky, advancing in the storm.

Each sharp arrow with a huge impact fell, and it was a muffled fist to the armorer holding the big shield, shaking the shield back an inch.

Each of them gritted their teeth, and at the same time used the strength of their shoulders and arms to do their best to keep the shield from shaking drastically.

Even if the arrow pierced through the armor and the arrow came out of front of their eyes, they were not afraid, and even if the arrow on their shoulders and backs was pierced by the sharp arrow, and the pain was unbearable, they only let out a muffled snort and would not retreat.

Even if their companions fell and were shot into hedgehogs by the arrows that followed, they would never stop, and even if their comrades in front of them had disappeared and they had become the vanguard, no one was cowardly.

After the bloody battle experience of the previous days, and after the encouragement of today's great victory in capturing Guancheng, all the Yanmen troops have always had a belief in their hearts at this moment: they are the elite of Daqi and will never be defeated by Hulu!

We must not lose to Hulu!

Everyone tried their best, holding their shields and running forward. Even if you go further, the more force the arrow comes, and the further you go, the faster the casualties will be, and no one will slow down before falling!

The Yanmen army conquered the city very quickly, and it was also very fast to rush into the city, and the front team still bit the tail of the retreating Beihu army and ran into the battle formation of the Beihu army, so between the two sides, there was actually not much blank space.

The distance that the soldiers need to carry their shields is not far.

Therefore, although the casualties were not small, the battle formation soon approached the Beihu army column, and when the distance between the two sides was shortened to a certain extent, the big shield opened.

The armor soldier who was protected by the big shield rushed out from behind the big shield, and the leopard pounced on the enemy, and the spear in his hand was the first to pierce out, breaking the shield of the front team of the Northern Hu army, stabbing over, and repelling.

With a slight gap in the formation of the Northern Hu army, the sharp soldier holding a small round shield and holding a horizontal knife collided through the gap like a tiger, or slashed the opponent with a long knife, or simply knocked the enemy down.

The big shield in the back followed up, and the wounded sharps retreated into the cover of the big shield in time.

The spearmen attacked again, intercepting the counterattack of the Northern Hu army in the middle of the road. When the opponent's soldiers were stabbed to death or fell, the offensive slowed down, the queue was chaotic, and the position was unstable, the shield-wielding swordsman entered again.

The two armies took on the formation and fought hand-to-hand, and at this time, the battle returned to the same situation as Guancheng, which was the time when the Yanmen Army's infantry army exerted its combat power, and the offensive gradually became smoother.

Different from the Battle of Guancheng, many of the battle formations of the Beihu army were on the slopes of the mountains and the mountain bags, and continued to occupy the geographical advantage.

Although the slope is not large, the Yanmen army is always in a downwind position, and it is much more difficult to fight than after gaining a firm foothold in the city. But compared to the climbing stage, it was much easier, so the two sides fought inseparably.

In the battles in the valleys and mountain passes, the Yanmen army had no geographical disadvantage, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle, and the Yanmen army gradually gained the upper hand. The casualties suffered by the generals on the offensive road finally had a chance to return to the Beihu army.

On the hillside, Yang Jiani was still advancing bravely, and soon took the part behind her, like a wedge, and fiercely embedded herself in the enemy's battle formation. As the head of the army, she must be the first to cut through the enemy formation.

When she kills the mountain bag and captures the mountain bag, it is also the time to declare the victory of the battle in this area.

But this time, the offensive was not as smooth as when she closed the city, and when she went deep into the formation, she encountered two late-stage Yuanshen Realm powerhouses led by more than a dozen mid-stage Yuanshen Realm powerhouses.

Obviously, her strong performance in Guancheng has been seen by the Beihu army, and in order to avoid being opened up by her, the Beihu army has mobilized more powerful forces to deal with her.

Yang Jiani's guards, including Zhao Ning's guards who came to support, were all suppressed in the middle of the Beihu Yuan God Realm, which was more numerous, and the opponent's combat power was still stronger, and it was difficult for their own side to fight.

Yang Jiani faced the two Yuan Shen Realm alone in the late stage, and only had the result of being killed instantly, but fortunately, several blue rune arrows shot out in time to repel one of the captains, and Yang Jiani had the opportunity to entangle with the other captain.

The repulsed captain quickly locked his eyes on Zhao Ning, and he rushed out in the blink of an eye, deciding to solve Zhao Ning, a guy who could shoot and kill the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, first.

But when he arrived at the direction where Zhao Ning was standing, as far as his eyes could see, except for the crowded Yanmen army, there was no trace of Zhao Ning.

At the speed of the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, it shouldn't have escaped his lock. Captain Wan, who was puzzled in his heart, frowned, and had to kill the Yanmen army rushing from all directions while trying to find Zhao Ning again.

At this moment, Zhao Ning had already collected the condor and replaced it with a spear in his hand.

In the chaotic infantry hillside battlefield, he was in a position of attacking from the back, and the eagle in his hand could no longer have so many opportunities to harvest specific targets unscrupulously as he did when he was at the head of the city.

The two deputy captains of the Tian Yuan Army in the middle of the Yuan God Realm were joining forces to attack a clansman in the middle of the Yuan God Realm of the Zhao Clan, and they had already slashed each other, and they were about to kill the other party with one blow.

At this moment, the phantom shadow in front of the captain on the left flashed, and when he realized the danger, the shadow of the gun had already arrived in front of him!

He didn't find out his opponent's moves for the first time.

The opponent's next shot pierced his chest!

The deputy captain, who was stiff, looked down at the bloody hole in his chest, and finally reacted when he was dying, "This is ...... This is the ...... of Zhao's Formation Breaking Gun"

The other mid-stage cultivator of the Yuan Shen Realm beside him had already seen Zhao Ning the moment he fell, and he immediately retreated.

He pulled away enough distance, he should be safe, and he had the opportunity to move, but when he stood firm under his feet, there were also many gunshots in front of him.

His frightened eyes widened suddenly, and before he could see Zhao Ning's figure clearly, the spear in Zhao Ning's hand had already swept past his neck and cut off half of his neck!

It's too fast.

It's so fast that you can't catch you off guard.

The other party shouldn't be so close so quickly.

When he fell down holding his neck, the eyes of this Beihu master were still full of horror, "Mirror...... Mirror Water Walk!"

Only Jing Shuibu can make Zhao Ning burst in front of him in an impossible gap.

It was also the mirror water step that allowed Zhao Ning to get rid of the pursuit of the captain.

When Zhao Ning's spear pierced the chest of the third Beihu Yuan Divine Realm, the captain who had been freed by him finally found him again.

However, before he could show his skills, a figure in a white robe and a silver spear appeared in front of him, like a swimming dragon, floating like a shock, it was Wang Rouhua!

The most quintessential of the Zhao family's peerless mastery mirror water step, the Zhao family's formation breaking spear, Zhao Ning had already cultivated to the realm of Dacheng in his previous life.

Right now, he was moving and rushing forward with a mirror step, and the Beihu cultivators in the same realm were either unable to guard against his attack or unable to catch his traces.

At the same time, he used the Zhao Clan's Formation Breaking Spear to kill his opponent, and the Beihu cultivators in the same realm could hardly compete with him head-on. Especially when he attacks, he cooperates with the Zhao and Yang masters, so the killing efficiency is extremely high.

It didn't take long for the two Beihu Wanfu Commanders to bring out more than half of the more than a dozen Yuan Shen Realm mid-stage Yuan Shen Realm who were killed by him and everyone. The remaining few were soon overstretched by the siege, and they were killed and wounded one after another.

Yang Jiani, with her combat power that was much stronger than that of cultivators in the same realm, persisted for a long time under the attack of the late Master of the Yuan God Realm, but in the end, she was still slashed in the chest by the Master of Ten Thousand Realms, vomiting blood and flying out.

The armor is broken, but there is no blood on the chest, obviously, as the hope of the future of the Yang family, she also has the best inner armor. It was this inner armor that kept her life temporarily.

Just when Captain Wan wanted to go one step further and completely kill Yang Jiani on the way to fly upside down, around him, suddenly several mid-stage Yuan Shen Realm struck at the same time, and several dazzling swords were about to be added.

Even in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, he couldn't ignore the fact that multiple Yuan Shen Realm mid-stage attacks at the same time, and the captain was forced to withdraw his sword to defend. Relying on the strength of a realm higher, the sword in front of him was either cut by him or avoided by him.

When he dodged the last sword light, a bit of cold light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye, if it weren't for his eyes and ears, he would almost not have been able to find this cold light.

With a tightening of his heart, the captain twisted his body in an almost impossible situation, avoiding the spear that stabbed him in the throat.

Just when he thought that this blow had been successfully dodged, more guns rained down on him like a rain of stars!

In order to deal with Fang Cai's blow, his body technique has been used to the extreme, and he can no longer move in a large area at this time, so he can only barely raise his knife and slash, and it is inevitable that he will be overstretched.

However, the gun is real and illusory, virtual and uncertain, with his cultivation vision, he also misjudged two places, the gun rain curtain that should have been cut in time was smashed, and a shot was forced on his shoulder!

"What a weird marksmanship...... Is it Zhao's Formation Breaking Spear?!" Wanfuchang's shoulders were numb and his heart trembled. If you can cultivate the Zhao Clan's Formation Breaking Spear to this extent, could it be that you are one of Zhao Beiwang and his wife?

But his shoulder was not penetrated, and the lethality of this shot was slightly insufficient, obviously it would not be Zhao Beiwang and his wife.

So who can use Zhao's Formation Breaking Spear to this extent?

The captain didn't have time to think about it.

At the same time that the spear hit him on the shoulder, causing his body to tilt, the second slash of several mid-primordial spirit realms around him landed on him almost at the same time!

These shots in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm, although they are not fatal, but they also have substantial damage, and they can't stand the large number, and at this moment, it is not only the body shape of the commander that is chaotic, but even the true qi has an instantaneous disorder.

It was at this moment that he saw the Mo Dao blade enlarged in his field of vision!

Poof, Mo Dao was powerful and hit him on the forehead!

The lethality of this blow in the middle of the ordinary Yuan Shen Realm may be limited, but this is Yang Jiani's Mo knife, his pocket was suddenly shattered, and blood flowed from his forehead!

His body fell to the ground!

"The moment you fall to the ground, you must immediately find the fulcrum of your body on the ground and quickly dodge!" was the last thought that came to the mind of the captain.

The reason why it was the last thought, and not turned into actual action, was because he had no chance. Before he could hit the ground, a bit of cold light fell from the sky and pierced his throat accurately!

It was Zhao Ning, whose figure jumped up, fell vertically in mid-air, with the spear in front, forming a straight line with his body!

The spear pierced the throat of the captain and pinned him to the ground!

Wanfu Chang's life is cut off, and his eyes are protruding like dead fish eyes.

Falling steadily to the ground, Zhao Ning stepped on the corpse of Captain Wan, pulled back the spear, brought out a touch of flesh and blood, and turned his head to look at Yang Jiani, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, "How is the injury?"

"No problem. Yang Jiani wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth casually. Just after dealing with Captain Wan, her hood had been knocked away, and the blood that overflowed from her brain stained half of her white face, and the green silk fluttered like catkins.

Zhao Ning threw her a bottle of elixir, told her to be careful, turned around and killed the new enemy.

Yang Jiani, as the most outstanding young child of the Yang family, was taken care of by Wang Rouhua in every way, and there was definitely no shortage of healing pills on her body, but Zhao Ning didn't think about it, so he gave her his pills.

When she took Zhao Ning's elixir, Yang Jiani's heart warmed. She didn't think much about it, took the pill, and immediately followed Zhao Ning.

Zhao Ning and Yang Jiani became the fronts of the battle formation at the same time.

The high-end combat power here has been swept away by them and Wang Rouhua, and when they kill Xiangshanbao again, they have no opponents. It didn't take long for them to kill the soldiers of the Beihu Army on the mountain bag and occupy this mountain bag.

This was the first hill captured by the Yanmen army.

It was the first gap in the second layer of the defense line of the Beihu Army opened by the Yanmen Army.

Taking this as a starting point, the Yanmen Army was like a turbulent wave, sweeping towards one mountain bag after another.
