Chapter 376: Dragon Slaying Platform
After leaving Drifting Snow City overnight, the army kept moving forward, crossing Fuhu Mountain and heading north.
Since his whereabouts had been exposed in Drifting Snow City, Hong Yuan simply didn't cover it up, and hurried along the way. Three days later, we finally arrived at the Tenglong Mountains.
What appeared in front of people was a boundless mountain range lying on the earth, with high mountains and dense forests, undulating mountains with no end in sight, which was a natural barrier between the alliance and the Hualong Empire, and also a strategic high ground for soldiers to fight for. Whoever completely occupies this place will gain a strategic advantage and put strong pressure on the other side.
For thousands of years, the alliance has always been weak, unable to go on a northern expedition when its national strength was strong, and did not have enough strength to open up the vast Central Plains; when its national strength was weak, it was harassed by the northern forces, and from time to time it was ruthlessly attacked and looted. For this reason, the alliance cultivated a long city wall along the ridge in the Tenglong Mountain Range, which was curved for thousands of miles, like a giant dragon coiled on the earth, known as the Southern Dragon City.
Historically, relying on the Dragon City of the Southern Kingdom, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the alliance has blocked the attacks of many northern powers. This fierce battle with the army of the Hualong Empire also took place in the southern Dragon City, where one side held the city to the death, and the other side relied on superior forces to launch a ferocious attack. The fiercest battle took place in the middle of the Dragon City in the South, for a beacon tower called the Dragon Slaying Tower.
Hong Yuan and his entourage went straight to the place where the battle was most intense, looking at the blood-stained dragon slaying platform from afar.
Looking from a distance, I saw that both sides had invested at least three or four hundred thousand troops, and launched an extremely fierce battle for the Dragon Slaying Platform.
Compared with the alliance alliance army standing on the head of the city, the strength of the Hualong Empire is even stronger, the ground is densely packed with dragon blood warriors, and there are many dragon knights in the air, launching a desperate impact on the alliance legion, like the tide of the sea, wave after wave. With each loss of a group of warriors, more drake-blooded warriors immediately rushed up, and outside the battlefield, countless tents were erected, and the camp undulated for dozens of miles.
On the other hand, in terms of the alliance, the scale of the camp is obviously much smaller, and the main force against the dragon blood legion still relies on the vine armor legion stationed in the southern dragon city all the year round, supplemented by the coalition forces that rushed over from all over the alliance to support, and stubbornly resisted the impact of the dragon blood legion of the Hualong Empire. Even if it is more than ten miles away, you can still hear the earth-shattering sound of fighting, the air is filled with a strong smell of blood, and I don't know how many corpses are piled up under the city wall.
A bat flew by, folded its wings and landed in front of Hong Yuan, transforming into a human form.
The Blood Bat King, who had come to the Tenglong Mountain Range first, quickly rushed over, and without waiting for Hong Yuan to ask, he took the initiative to report: "My lord, it is roughly estimated that the Hualong Empire has millions of elites and is concentrating on attacking the Dragon Slaying Platform with all its might. ”
"What about our alliance?" Hong Yuan asked, frowning slightly.
Millions of dragon-blooded warriors, this is definitely a terrifying force that can be slaughtered into rivers. If it weren't for the fact that the Dragon Slaying Platform was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the alliance would definitely not be able to resist it!
The Coalition claims to have recruited a million troops, but that includes farmers who transport grain and grass. ”
The Blood Bat King paused and said, "According to our estimates, there are about 200,000 coalition troops coming from all over the alliance, and many of them are recruits. What can really resist the onslaught of the dragon-blood warriors is the vine armor legion stationed here all the year round, and the casualties under the onslaught of the dragon-blood legion during this period of time are getting bigger and bigger, and it is estimated that all of them add up to only 130,000 at most. ”
Hong Yuan was silent, and everyone's faces became solemn.
The combined strength of the Vine Armor Legion and the coalition army was only 330,000, and compared with the Dragonblood Legion that marched south, less than one-third of the troops, and a considerable number of them were recruits who enlisted in haste. What's more serious is that almost all the troops that the alliance can collect are urgently transferred, but the Hualong Empire can continue to increase its troops, and the huge territory and population alone can kill the alliance. How can this battle be fought?
Hong Yuan became solemn, and when he arrived at the Tenglong Mountain Range, he found that the situation was even more serious than he expected.
Although the Southern Dragon City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in the face of the tide of dragon blood legions, there will always be a time when it will be broken if it continues like this. Once this line of defense is completely breached, the alliance will be really dangerous, and the dragon blood legion's troops will be directed towards Night Dragon City, the capital of the alliance!
"According to the wind, the Hualong Empire not only sent a million elites to attack, but also sent a large number of imperial masters to defeat a hundred on the battlefield. Someone said that Mu Qianbu, the protector elder of the Dragon Blood Sanctuary, was also here!" The Blood Bat King said even more shocking news.
Everyone was moved, not many people knew Mu Qianbu's name, but as a Dharma Protector Elder of the Dragon Blood Sanctuary, he was definitely a super master. Houtu is just a Dragon-Blood Templar Warrior, they are already so powerful, what kind of existence is a Dragon-Blood Templar Protector Elder in the hall?
Hong Yuan's heart was shocked, and before he could enter the battle, he sensed a strong danger.
In the first battle of the Night Demon Stone Forest, relying on the surprise attack of the Night Demon Commander, coupled with the help of Hong Python and others and the crowd tactics of the War Pet Legion, it was only then that the Dragon Blood Sanctuary was seriously injured and frightened back. Now, if you suddenly encounter a Dragon Blood Sanctuary Protector Elder, what can you do to stop it?
For super masters who have cultivated against the sky, they can only rely on strong people who are also against the sky to compete, and it is useless to rely on quantity alone;
A Dragon Blood Sanctuary Dharma Protector Elder may only be able to compete with the three alliance giants of Ge Hong, Hua Yueye, and Ye Qingtian!
Hong Yuan forced his composure and asked, "What about Ouyang Mu, the leader of the Fuhu Gang, is there any news?"
"No, I haven't been able to get in touch. ”
The Blood Bat King shook his head and spoke a little hesitantly, "My lord, could that woman have encountered some accident, such as falling into some forbidden magic circle, or secretly leaving quietly?"
It has been a long time since Ouyang Mu was subdued and sent to the front line to inquire about the news, and there has been no news for a long time, which has to make people suspicious.
"Impossible, Ouyang Mu is not that kind of person, he will never run away secretly, let alone join the Hualong Empire. Because, she originally had a common enmity with the Hualong Empire, and she was happier than anyone else to be able to defeat the army of the Hualong Empire!" Feng Qianbo denied it, and among the group, only he knew Ouyang Mu best.
"Keep looking, if you want to see people in life and see corpses in death, if you are trapped somewhere, you must rescue her!"
Hong Yuan ordered in a deep voice, led everyone to turn around and left, did not report to the camp of the alliance coalition army, led the army into the deep mountains and old forests next to the official road, and quickly disappeared into the mountains.
The battle at the head of the city was extremely fierce, strangling the soldiers on both sides like a meat grinder, Hong Yuan didn't want to rush up to die, and there was no need to rush straight up. According to Ge Hong's instructions, his mission in coming to the Tenglong Mountain Range this time was not to confront the huge dragon blood legion head-on, but to harass their flanks and rear, and the frontal battlefield naturally had the vine armor legion and the coalition forces from all parts of the alliance to contend with.
At the head of the city, fierce battles were raging, and the reserves who did not go into battle were also staring at the changes on the field. The army of war pets quietly arrived, and then quietly disappeared again.
