Volume 2 Tianyun Battle Chapter 179 Cai Yan's War
In the hand-to-hand combat, it can be clearly seen that the Cai coalition army is indeed more elite than the Western Continent coalition army. Their knife movements are simple and effective, with a little less variation but a little more sharpness. They often attack the opponent's vital point with each knife, and as long as they hit, the opponent often has no chance to get back up.
As the battle progressed, the defenders of the Western Continent gradually began to be unable to resist, and they were pressed back step by step by the opponent, and the position in front of the mountain beam had been lost.
With this forward position, the follow-up troops can more easily attack the mountain beam and participate in the encirclement of the Western Continent Coalition Army.
Seeing that the victory was in hand, Cai Yong showed a faint smile, and Sun Wang and the others also nodded, expressing their approval of the performance of their subordinates. Only Zhongshan Ce still had a straight face, staring at the battle situation on the mountain beam and was silent.
The advance of the Cai coalition army was going very smoothly, and seeing that the two mountain beams were about to fall into his hands completely, Cai Yong finally showed a smug smile and said: "Yan Rong Xiao'er still doesn't grow, he thinks that just two mountain beams can stop our army." Hmph!
Sun Zhong also pinched his beard and nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know what this Yan Mu thinks?" Knowing that this Yan Rong Xiao'er is a defeated general under the Cai family master, but he still asked him to lead the army, could it be that Yan Mu, who is known as the first wise general in the Western Continent, is confused?"
Brother Sun's question is also Wang's question. This Yan Mu is known for his wisdom, but he made such a stupid move this time, I don't know why he came?" Wang Heng was also very strange about this question, and he wanted to hear Cai Yong's opinion on this opportunity, after all, Cai Yong was also known for his wisdom, otherwise the eldest prince would not let him lead the four clans alliance this time.
"Hmph! Yan Mu has always cherished his reputation, and this time he fought against my Cai clan's coalition army, and the outcome is unknown? Therefore, for the sake of cherishing feathers, it makes sense to send a subordinate. After all, if he loses, it only means that his subordinates are not as good as me, but if he wins, then he earns it, doesn't he?"
Cai Yong was very disdainful of Yan Mu's so-called title of the first wise general in the Western Continent, and he wanted to meet this person many times, but he was trapped in the complexity of Cai Yi's surrounding forces, and he had never been able to integrate the surrounding forces, so that he could not directly compete with the huge Yan clan. This time he finally realized his wish, so he was very happy, he wanted the world to see who was the real No. 1 Zhizhi General in the Western Continent.
Although this Yan Mu also has some talent, I am afraid that this courage has long since lost the courage of the past. Sun Zhong nodded, and Cai Yong's explanation also made some sense.
"Hehe, you said that after we defeat Yan Rong Xiao'er next, do you want to send a plaque to Yan Mu Lao'er, which will be engraved with a few golden words of "The First Wise General of the Western Continent", how about it?" Wang Heng suddenly thought of a good idea, and he smiled evilly.
"Good idea. I want to see what kind of expression Yan Mu Lao'er had when he received this plaque?hehe!" Sun Zhong also echoed with a wicked smile.
Cai Yong also agreed very much with Wang Heng's proposal, and being able to humiliate Yan Mu like this was what he wanted to do the most, so he also nodded and agreed: "Since everyone has torn their faces and met each other, then we naturally don't have to be polite to him." When Yan Rong Xiaoer was completely defeated and regained the Black Stone Village, I ordered someone to send the plaque over. ”
Just as Cai Yong, Sun Zhong, and Wang Heng had made up their minds and were about to humiliate Yan Mu, the Cai coalition army had already captured two mountain beams.
The Western Continental Coalition forces all withdrew from the position of the mountain beam and retreated to the defensive line behind the mountain beam. The Cai coalition army followed the rout and rushed forward, but was stopped here, and for a while many people were crowded together, unable to advance or retreat.
The back of the original two mountain beams has already been transformed into two rather strong camps. Although the two camps were improvised by collecting nearby trees and rocks, it is evident that they are very strong. The most important thing is that the architecture of these two camps refers to the architectural characteristics of the Cold Spring Fortress, and many urn cities are built that are closely connected with each other, making these two camps very difficult to deal with.
And in order to limit the number of people who attacked the camp, Yan Rong deliberately asked people to build the passage in and out very narrow during the construction, which could only accommodate two or three people to pass side by side. In this way, although there were five or six passages in and out, the number of people who could enter the camp at one time was at most a dozen or so, and as soon as these people entered, they were attacked by hundreds of crossbow arrows, and almost no one could survive such a dense attack.
Although the soldiers of the Cai coalition army continued to pour into the passages, as soon as they came out of the dark passages, they were shot to the ground by waves of arrows. It didn't take long for the corpses in front of the passage to be piled up to a person's height, but the soldiers of the Cai coalition army did not know the situation ahead, and still kept rushing forward to send them to death.
Some people realized that the situation ahead was not right and wanted to retreat, but they were pushed by the crowd that kept coming behind them, and they were moving towards death step by step.
It wasn't until a long time later that the generals in command at the front noticed the anomaly and ordered the attack to be suspended. At this time, the soldiers lost by the Cai coalition army had already made Cai Yong, Sun Zhong, and Wang Heng feel very painful.
Just when the Cai coalition army was in a dilemma, the Western Continent army did not let them go, and a large number of giant arrows suddenly shot out from the hidden windows of the camp. These arrows, which are arm thick, can be known at a glance to be special arrows for bed crossbows, and as soon as these powerful arrows appear, they set off a bloody storm in front of the camp.
At such a close distance, no matter how thick the armor stomach was, it couldn't block the blow of the bed crossbow in front of him, and for a while, the front of the camp became a real Shura purgatory.
Cai Yong's eyes were split, and he immediately ordered his monk group to smash the gate of the camp at all costs.
Bursts of light suddenly flew out of the military formation, with bursts of terrifying aura, and shot towards the gates of the two camps.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Flames rose into the air, blasting the gates of the camp into a cloud of wood and stones, and the scorching shock wave quickly swept through the surrounding land, bringing up many stumps and broken arms.
The bed crossbow in the dark fort of the camp suddenly became dumb, and there were screams of pain from the dark fort at the same time, which showed that the defenders in the dark fort must not be having a good time.
But the monks of the monk group did not stop there, Cai Yong's order was to completely destroy the gate of the camp, and now the show has just begun!
The light produced by the Dao technique lit up almost uninterruptedly, and the strength of the Cai Clan's allied army monks was fully demonstrated. Each round of Dao Technique fire can always collapse a passage and shatter a barracks. They were like a giant bulldozer, constantly pushing forward, destroying and flattening anything that stood in their way, as if nothing could stop them.
The gates of the two camps had been completely destroyed, and the continuous urn cities behind the gates revealed their true faces, just when the Cai Clan's allied monks were about to destroy all these obstructive urn cities in one go.
"Shoot back!"
With Yan Rong's order, under the protection of the continuous urn city, the same bright light lit up, and the monk regiment of the Western Continent Army began to fight back.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
One after another, the Dao techniques continued to bombard the Cai coalition army, and because the terrain in front of the camp was flat and open, the Cai coalition army did not even find a place to hide. The only gate that could hide was being consumed by the raging flames.
For a time, flames and smoke and dust continued to rise and rag, people's stumps and severed arms were splashed everywhere with painful screams, and the cruelty of war was once again so bloody in front of the world at this moment.
The monks of the Cai Clan Coalition were fighting back with all their might, but the continuous urn city made it difficult for them to find the specific location of the opposing monks, and they could only blindly return fire where the light flashed, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of their attacks.
However, their opponents could easily find their position and attack again and again, if it weren't for their strength being slightly superior and relatively well prepared, they would have already suffered a large number of casualties.
In the Cai Clan's allied army monk group, the monk who was responsible for holding up the defensive light shield had already taken several elixirs to replenish spiritual energy several times in a row. These expensive pills were usually reluctant to take them when they were cultivating, but now they were constantly thrown into their mouths like jelly beans, after all, life was more important than pills.
Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Cai Yong's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, but Zhongshan Ce on the side showed a mocking smile on his face at this time.
Seeing the soldiers of the coalition army constantly dying in the battle between the two monks, Cai Yong's face turned iron blue for a while, and then turned pale, and after such a change several times, he finally gritted his teeth and ordered: "Withdraw!"
Hearing Cai Yong's order, the members of the coalition monks all breathed a sigh of relief, and they quickly withdrew to the rear under the cover of the military formation.
In the process of retreating, they did not forget to use their remaining spiritual power in the form of Dao Techniques to blast towards the urn city group. For a while, the monks of the Western Continent Army were so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, and they could only watch them calmly withdraw.
But the soldiers who stayed behind were not so lucky. The monks of the Western Continent Alliance, who were pressed by their opponents just now, gave vent to these broken soldiers.
So a one-sided slaughter was staged, and before the soldiers could rush to the other side's front, they were attacked by flames and wind blades, and were swept up and torn to pieces like autumn wind sweeping leaves.
The flames and winds continued to rage, completely sweeping the battlefield in front of the camp. The gate of the camp, which was originally very strong and majestic, can no longer see a trace of its original appearance at this time.
Cai Yong's face could no longer be described as difficult, his teeth were gritting, and his eyes were burning with anger, making his entire eyeballs almost red.
Sun Zhong and Wang Heng were also speechless, who would have thought that such a shocking reversal would occur when the victory was in hand.
In this battle alone, more than 5,000 troops were lost, of which only more than 1,000 were lost during the attack on Shanliang, and the remaining 4,000 were all lost during the attack on the camp. This was already a devastating defeat for a force of only nearly 30,000 men.
And the most important thing is that the monk group that came with the army had consumed too much spiritual power in the battle just now, and it was already unsustainable, and it was difficult to participate in such a big battle in a short period of time.
