Chapter 40: The Great War
"General, it's not good, after all the ghost clans have assembled in the past three days, there are 220,000 people, and we still killed 60,000 people, and this time they sent a total of 280,000 troops. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info," Xuanyuan Ruohua said.
"Black Cliff, has the message of requesting more troops been sent?" Jia Lan frowned and looked at Black Cliff.
"It's sent, it's all sent to Wang An, and the other two copies, one is sent to Zhongrongguo, and the other is expedited to Sangong. Black Cliff said.
"Very well, you know more and more about my mind now. Jialan praised it, and then said, "Well, a few of you are awake, our defensive formation is not very strong, so we still have to prepare for hand-to-hand combat, even if Xiying's people kill a ghost clan with every arrow, there will be 90,000 people left, it's not easy to do~" Jialan instructed.
"yes, I hope the reinforcements will arrive soon. Xuanyuan Ruohua said.
After another two days, the Oni Clan launched another siege.
"Xiying, it's up to you, try not to waste arrows, don't use the blast core today, but you can use more arrows. ”
"Understood. "Jiang Xiying went down to prepare for war, the arrows of the army were specially refined by the Ministry of Industry, not only sharp, but also with a certain amount of power, with excellent archers, it can completely kill with one hit.
On this day, the Oni Clan only tentatively attacked the city, and did not invest too many soldiers, and it was like this for several days in a row.
"How many days?" said Jialan, standing on the wall and looking at the other side.
"It's been ten days since the ghost clan came out of the canyon. Black Cliff said, "But Wang An didn't hear from him at all." ”
"Well, you will pass this letter to Zhongrong Kingdom in a moment. Jialan said, taking out a folded piece of paper and handing it to Black Cliff.
"Yes. Black Cliff was ordered to leave.
"Xiying, the arrows are running out, aren't they?"
"Yes, we used nearly 70,000 arrows, relying on the formation, we killed more than 40,000 people, the key is that these ghost clans are difficult to kill, sometimes they have to be hit by two arrows in the vital parts to die, their physique is much stronger than our human race. Jiang Xiying said.
"In the future, you should prepare more arrows, this is all experience. Jialan said, he also understood that although those low-level ghost clans had low intelligence, their bodies were very strong;
"Hmm. ”
"Then there are more than 170,000 left in the ghost clan now, right?" said Jialan, rubbing her fingers on her temples.
"Yes. Xichen replied.
"Xiying, after so many days of fighting, the ghost clan should guess that we didn't explode the nucleus, so that the next time the oni clan attacks the city, they will definitely invest a large number of troops, and this time they will use the detonation nucleus to destroy them again. "War is a battle of wits between generals on both sides.
The ghost clan was really as Jialan predicted, and the new round of siege actually dispatched more than 100,000 people, and Jiang Xiying did not waste this opportunity, 500 explosive nuclei flew out, directly stunned the ghost clan, and he didn't know how many people died in an instant. Jialan saw everything in her eyes, and roughly estimated that this round of explosions had killed and injured nearly 30,000 people, although the injuries were not fatal, but the combat power was greatly reduced.
"Xiying, don't stop! Shoot the rest of the nuclei out!" shouted Jialan.
Jiang Xiying wanted to leave some for the final plan, but Jialan had already given the order, so it had to be executed, and the remaining nearly two hundred explosive cores were shot out in the hands of accurate archers, hitting the place where the ghost clan was densely populated. At this time, the ghost clan has reduced more than 30,000 people, and the reason for this result is that the explosion of nuclear weapons will have a superimposed effect when it is concentrated and exploded, and it is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
The ghost clan suffered such heavy losses before they could attack the city wall, and they had no choice but to collect their troops and return to the camp.
"Very well, most of the ghosts who have returned are also injured, and the threat to us is greatly reduced. Jialan smiled and said, "Tell Xiying that in the next two rounds of siege, don't shoot arrows blindly, you must be accurate, and, Xichen, are you ready for all the fuel you have prepared?"
"It's ready, but the fire is not very harmful to the ghost clan. Xichen said.
"I just want them to be afraid, not to be hurt, you just need to do it. Jia Lanye said with a smile.
"That's fine, it's ready. ”
In the next five days, the ghost clan launched another tentative attack, losing the lives of 20,000 wounded soldiers, before it regained its quietness and did not make any more movement.
"Ruohua, why do you say these ghost clans haven't attacked the city yet?" After waiting for three days, Jialan's prediction was wrong, and the ghost clan did not attack the city.
"I don't know, I haven't fought the ghosts. Xuanyuan Ruohua said.
"Is there anyone attacking over there?" asked Jialan.
"No~" Xuanyuan Ruohua's expression was a little gloomy after hearing this.
"Hehe, it's good if you don't have it・・・・・・" Jialan looked at the ghost camp, and then said to Black Cliff, "Isn't there any news from Wang Anna?"
"Master, don't wait, they're coming, they're coming, I think the ghost clan will attack soon, let's start the second plan." Black Cliff said.
"What are you talking about? What are you waiting for? and a second plan?" asked Xuanyuan Ruohua, "Why are you hiding everything from me?"
"It's not a lie from you, but it's my private matter. Jialan said, "If it's a business matter, I won't hide it from you. After speaking, Jialan patted Xuanyuan Ruohua's shoulder and left.
"Master, it's been almost twenty days, Wang An is determined to kill us. Black Cliff came to Jialan's side and whispered.
"Well, that's good, I'm really afraid that he'll send reinforcements, hehe~" Jialan's evil smile resurfaced on her face.
"What about us?" asked Blackcliff.
"Wait, the day after tomorrow, you let Zhongrong send troops. Jialan said.
"Good. ”
The next day, the Oni didn't move, but at night, the Oni began to move・・・・・・
"Master, the rest of the ghost clan is all moving! Black Cliff shouted.
"What? so fast?!" Jialan realized that she had miscalculated again, and it would take four days for Zhongrong's troops to arrive at the earliest, could she hold out for that long?
"Tell Xichen to use all the things he has prepared!" Jialan said, "I also want Jiang Xiying to find a hundred of the best archers, and no one will take a blast core, waiting for my order." ”
"Yes!" Black Cliff immediately went to give the order.
Before the ghost army's army arrived, Xichen had already piled piles of vats outside the city.
"Xiying, in a moment you will order someone to set those vults on fire with rockets. Jialan came to the city wall and said.
"I'll come in person!" Jiang Xiying took out the longbow.
Jiang Xi's shadow arrow was not missing, and it immediately burst into flames, but what was surprising was that the fire was green. "What's going on?" Xichen was puzzled.
"Hey, I've added some ingredients. Jialan said with a smile.
"What did the general add?" Xichen didn't expect that Jialan actually added something to the things he prepared, but he didn't know it, which really surprised Xichen.
"Poison!" Jialan said, "However, it's not a heavy poison, it's just that it makes them hallucinate a little and lose some combat power." ”
"Okay. ”
"Everyone, pay attention, the rest of the ghost clan must be elite soldiers, and those who don't want to die should be refreshed!" Jialan ignored Xichen and shouted loudly to the soldiers.
The ghost people who inhaled the poisonous gas really became chaotic, and the formation was difficult to maintain, and even some ghost soldiers began to kill each other; Jiang Xiying ordered people to shoot out the remaining arrows, and then under Jialan's order, the remaining hundred explosive cores were also shot out.
"There are less than 70,000 ghost clans left, hehe, those who want to survive have to fight hard. Jialan said, casting the Void Thunder Shadow Sword and flying down the city, "As long as one person kills two, we will win!" The Void Thunder Shadow Sword formed a vortex, madly devouring the ghost soldiers.
"The general's algorithm is so simple, but I like it!" Xuanyuan Ruohua laughed and threw his battle skills down the city, as did the others, and the ghost people were now struggling to attack the city walls.
Two hours later, the defensive array finally broke.
"I didn't kill much, these 60,000 people are about to come up~" A dream thistle appeared in Jialan's hand.
The battle of the trapped beasts began, dark clouds appeared in the sky from time to time, the lightning and thunder in the clouds seemed to respond to Jialan, in the battle, a silver light and shadow were so conspicuous; for three consecutive days, the people around Jialan fell one after another, and what made him heartbroken was that Xichen was killed by a strong man of the ghost clan・・・・・・
Black Cliff was covered in wounds and was no longer able to fight・・・・・・
The same is true for Jiang Xiran and Jiang Xiying, these people were only saved by Jialan's hard protection, and Xuanyuan Ruohua relied on the support of the double knife to not fall・・・・・・
Under a round of crazy attacks by Jialan, the ghost clan, which suffered the same heavy losses, chose to retreat, but less than 10,000 people withdrew, while there were less than 2,000 people left on the human side, and everyone was injured, including Jialan.
"Why did you retreat?" said Jialan, staggering to the crumbling wall, which had been nearly hollowed out by the wave of attacks.
"Whatever, it's good to retreat anyway~" Xuanyuan Ruohua walked over with a knife, and there was still blood on his body.
"Yes, whatever, it feels like people can heal as soon as possible. Jialan said, then took out the herb and handed it to Xuanyuan Ruohua, "You drank these~"
"Hmm~" Xuanyuan Ruohua took the herb and drank it, "Wow, this is the herb incense, you are really generous, there are not many of these things on the market now." ”
"This thing is in demand?" Jialan also took out a bottle and drank it, although this Zhan Jialan was tired and tired, but there were also benefits, that is, absorbing a large amount of life essence of the ghost clan, and accumulating a lot of power in his body, but it had not been compressed and could not be included in the dantian.
"Not to mention the sufficiency, it's a strange commodity to live in, I heard that now only the Imperial Capital's Zhengbao Building can buy some. Xuanyuan Ruohua meditated and recovered.
"Let's not talk about this for now, hurry up and heal the wounds. With that, Jialan walked towards Black Cliff and the others, "How are you doing?"
