Chapter 809: Meiling Dajie's morale is high
On the surface of the river, there were wails and miserable, and many Demon Realm soldiers were either burned to death or drowned.
The blazing flames illuminated the surface of this Xiaoshui River as bright as day.
In the army of the Demon Realm, after all, there are masters with good cultivation, and with their help, many soldiers have also been saved, some of them are flying with the sword, some are good at light skills and can tread water, plus the 200,000 sailors can swim, and there are about 500,000 people who can escape from the chaos smoothly.
In the confusion, they boarded the five hundred warships in the back row of the West Rain Country.
These 500 warships were only about 20 zhang away from the riverbank.
The 50,000 sailors of the Xiyu Kingdom had completely withdrawn to the riverbank, and the fifty warships were empty.
Before the demon army could react, a field of arrows with flames immediately shot out from the shore, and they shot at the five hundred standing ships.
It turned out that the fifty warships were also filled with dry grass and dried vegetables poured with grease, and the fire burned again.
As soon as the demon army came out of the sea of fire and entered the sea of fire, bursts of screams and wails were heard on the surface of the river again, and there were angry shouts and curses among them.
Fortunately, it was not far from the riverbank, and the Demon Realm Naval Army and some masters rushed forward again, intending to forcibly rush to the riverbank.
In the rear of the Demon Realm army, when the flames were burning on the surface of the river, Ye Wuyue knew that it was bad, and he turned to Fan Moyou and said:
"You are guarding in the rear, and I will personally bring 30,000 masters to support."
As he spoke, he quickly summoned 30,000 monks and masters, some of whom flew with their swords, some of whom tread water, and all of them galloped towards the river.
When they reached the middle of the river, the second wave of fire was just in time, and Ye Wuyue shouted:
"We're going to force our way through!"
Jun Moxiao, who was standing on the general's platform, heard the voice of Ye Wuyue, and immediately ordered:
"Lu Jing, Wang Hu, immediately lead your army and escort the retreat of the navy!"
Since it was night and moon went out to fight in person, the army led by the two could not meet the battle.
LΓΌ Jing and Wang Hu also understood the situation in front of them, and knew that their soldiers were not the opponents of those masters, so they immediately led their respective armies to escort the 50,000 sailors to quickly withdraw within the city walls of Meiling.
Jun Mo smiled and turned to Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng and said:
"You are in command, and I will lead the masters and elites of Lingyun Pavilion to meet the battle."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
As soon as he left, Liu Tingfeng said to Mu Qianmei:
"Senior sister, you are commanding here, I will go to Abbot Puhui and Daoist Tongxuan, and organize the masters of the rivers and lakes to fight together!"
After Mu Qianmei groaned for a while, she nodded and said:
"Okay, but be sure to stay safe, remember to stay away from the moonless, and don't become his target."
Liu Tingfeng hurriedly replied:
"I understand, I'll pay attention, senior sister doesn't have to worry."
As he spoke, he quickly left.
At this moment, the masters of the Demon Realm and the remnants of the navy had already landed on the shore, and there were about 400,000 left, and they had already entered the shooting range of the archers on the city wall, and Baili and Feng immediately ordered:
"Shoot the arrows!"
For a while, there were random arrows, like rain, all of them shot towards the remnants of the Demon Realm who had just landed.
Those with high cultivation can shoot arrows, and those with low cultivation are immediately shot into hedgehogs.
After more than a dozen rounds of sword rain, the Demon Realm army suffered nearly 100,000 casualties.
Under the cover of the masters, the rest of the army rushed to the gate under the city walls.
Bai Xiaolong immediately ordered:
"Start throwing stones!"
Then there was another wave of rocks, and another wail came from under the city walls.
The master led by Ye Wuyue did not need to attack the city gate with the people below, but flew directly to the city wall, and he shouted loudly:
"Jun Mo laughs, come out and fight!"
Jun Moxiao also happened to lead the team to come, so he replied briskly:
"As you wish!"
Jun Mo smiled and held the long sword in his hand, and personally greeted Ye Wuyue, and the masters of both sides suddenly fought together on the city wall.
Mu Qianmei ordered to Baili Hefeng and Bai Xiaolong:
"General Baili, Xiaolong, you all lead your army to retreat!"
Already in close combat, archers and trebuchets are temporarily useless.
The two immediately led their respective armies without hesitation and withdrew from the city wall.
At this moment, the masters of the rivers and lakes led by Liu Tingfeng, Abbot Puhui and Tongxuan Daoist also rushed over.
For a time, the city wall of Meiling suddenly became a battlefield for masters on both sides.
At this time, there were about 200,000 left in the Demon Realm army, of which 80,000 were masters, all fighting on the city walls.
There were still 120,000 outside the city gate, and they finally broke through the city gate and entered the city walls of Meiling.
Jun Moxiao led all the 50,000 people of Lingyun Pavilion to fight, and Liu Tingfeng, Abbot Puhui and Tongxuan Dao Chang led 100,000 Jianghu masters to fight together.
On the city wall, the Xiyu Kingdom fought against the 80,000 masters of the night without moon with 150,000 masters.
The masters of both sides fought around, the scene was chaotic and dazzling, and the Xiyu Kingdom had an absolute advantage.
The city gate was broken, and Mu Qianmei immediately ordered Wang Hu and Lu Jing to lead the army to meet the battle, and the two of them each led 200,000 soldiers who were good at fighting to meet the battle, and with 400,000 against the 120,000 in the demon world, they also had an absolute advantage.
A tragic battle suddenly unfolded in Meiling.
The army of the Demon Realm has no way out, it is to fight to the death, so its combat effectiveness is a little stronger than usual.
Ye Wuyue was angry and wanted to break through Meiling in one fell swoop, so he led the master to fight with all his might.
Jun Moxiao personally faced Ye Wuyue, although he was not Ye Wuyue's opponent, but in a short period of time, Ye Wuyue could not easily defeat him.
What's more, this is not a one-man fight, the two of them are guarded by top masters, and they will rescue the main general at any time, and for a while, the battle is also inseparable.
The two sides fought from late night to early morning, seeing that the east had begun to turn white, the army of the demon world had almost been exhausted, and there were less than 30,000 masters left.
The rest fell victim to the battle.
The more than 5,000 people were all extremely high cultivation cultivators, and they flew away together with the sword, and it was impossible for Jun Moxiao to stop it, unless he first used the masters above the Tribulation Period.
However, in that case, it would be tantamount to violating the rules of the outer heavens and would be punished by the divine realm, and Jun Moxiao would naturally not violate this rule.
Therefore, they could only watch as the more than 5,000 monk masters flew away.
Those Demon Realm masters who stayed behind were soon wiped out, and all of them remained on the city walls of Meiling.
The 120,000 Demon Realm soldiers who had already broken through the city gate and entered were also annihilated by Wang Hu and Lu Jing's army, and there was not a single person alive.
When the sun slowly rises from the east, the inside and outside of the Meiling city wall, as well as the surface of the Xiaoshui River, are full of chaos.
The wreckage of floating ships on the river and many Demon Realm soldiers who were burned and drowned.
On the banks of the river and inside and outside the city walls of Meiling, corpses were everywhere, red with blood everywhere, and a strong smell of blood wafted in the air.
Mu Qianmei ordered Baili Hefeng and Bai Xiaolong to lead the army to clean up the battlefield, while the others all returned to the camp.
The entire barracks were busy until the sun was about to set, and it was finally cleared.
Baili Hefeng continued to direct the aftermath of the battlefield work, while Bai Xiaolong came to the main camp to report to Jun Moxiao and Mu Qianmei:
"Returning to Generalissimo Jun and Mu Tianwang, in this battle, our army annihilated a total of 1.02 million enemy troops, and our army suffered 170,000 casualties, including 10,000 Lingyun Pavilion, 60,000 Jianghu troops, and 100,000 ordinary soldiers."
Jun Mo said with a smile:
"At the cost of 170,000 casualties, killing 1.02 million enemies, which is equivalent to a ratio of 1 to 5, is indeed a gratifying victory."
"This should be the most beautiful battle won since the start of the war!"
"Mu Tianwang's fire attack strategy is indeed very wonderful!"
The words are gratifying, but the tone is not really happy.
Mu Qianmei said understandingly:
"This war is indeed a great victory, but almost all of our casualties are elites and masters, and the price is actually not small."
Jun Moxiao immediately said:
"We have sacrificed a lot of masters, but they have sacrificed even more."
After a slight pause, Jun Moxiao continued:
"This victory is very important and has greatly boosted our morale, so we must reward the three armies, and at the same time, we must also count out a detailed number, and we will pay pensions to the families of the soldiers who died in the battle."
The next day, the army of Xiyu Kingdom celebrated the victory in the Battle of Meiling, killing pigs and sheep, drinking wine and eating meat, and the whole army was extremely excited and excited.
A great victory greatly improved the morale of the whole army, and everyone happily talked about this joyful battle-
"The Heavenly King hopes that they can connect the warships together, so they really use iron cables to connect the warships together, and the night without moon is really enough to cooperate!"
"Hahaha...... Providence, providence, if not connected, can it burn so spectacularly? β
"Attacking with fire on the surface of the river, it is also the king of heaven who can have such a genius idea, how can ordinary people come up with such a clever plan!"
"A fire burned five or six hundred thousand troops in the Demon Realm, almost not a single soldier, this time, Ye Wuyue finally understood the power of the Heavenly King!"
"However, fortunately, there are masters of Lingyun Pavilion who have faced their masters, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Our Jianghu army is not bad, if it weren't for the night and moon running fast, we would have left it on the city wall of Meiling!"
β¦β¦
The enthusiasm of the officers and men of the whole army was very high, drinking in big bowls, talking loudly, dancing with eyebrows, dancing with hands, and could not hide the excitement in their hearts.
At the celebration banquet, Jun Moxiao and Mu Qianmei rewarded the soldiers together, and many heroic soldiers were promoted to a certain extent.
The morale was high again, and they all wanted to start a war with the demon army immediately and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor.
Of course, they were just thinking about it, because in the following period of time, both sides entered a truce.
Even if the demon army wants to continue the attack, there are no more ships, so they can only look at the river and sigh.
The army of the West Rain Kingdom originally planned to retreat after the battle, but now there is no need to withdraw for the time being, so they will continue to guard Meiling first and wait and see the movements of the army of the Demon Realm.
