Chapter 8: Swirling Black Clouds, Huge Cities
Countless crows and vultures flew in the sky, forming an extremely terrifying black vortex.
Anyone who saw a terrifying whirlpool of dark clouds formed by countless crows and vultures covering a range of tens of miles would surely be shocked to the extreme.
However, these dense flocks of crows and vultures flying in the sky also kept screaming in anxiety and fear.
Underneath these crows and vultures, which form a dense black swirling cloud, is a majestic castle with a wall of more than 30 meters high.
Countless densely packed Da Mang soldiers and Yun Qin soldiers surrounded this city, fighting and strangling.
From the sky, it looks like countless dense ants, surrounding a towering cake, engaged in fierce battles and fights.
The walls of this city originally had a moat, but at this moment this moat has been completely filled with all kinds of broken ordnance, sassal wood, boulders, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides. In the surrounding wasteland, the corpses of both sides of the battle have also piled up, and all the battles at this moment are fought on the overlapping corpses.
These corpses are a very delicious delicacy for the crows and vultures that hover overhead, forming a terrible sight of huge black swirling clouds, but these crows and vultures dare not plunder, but dare to be greedy but frightened and anxious, and from time to time the crows and vultures that are exhausted but reluctant to leave fall.
Because between the black swirling clouds formed by crows and vultures and the city, there are two layers of black flowing curtains.
A rain of arrows shot from inside and outside the city.
Weapons inside and outside the city were projected with crossbow arrows, heavy objects, and even burning logs.
The density of these things that are constantly shuttling through the air has made it so that the crows and vultures that fly down will quickly turn into a mass of broken flesh and blood with feathers.
This is the battle that has been raging around this majestic city.
Not counting the two sides of the sergeants who had died on the ground, the total number of both sides fighting at the moment was obviously more than 100,000.
Both sides have a terrifying number of arrows, firing arrows non-stop.
Under the bombardment of catapults and crossbow carts around the mountain, a huge gap has appeared in the western wall of the majestic city of Damang.
In order to plug this gap, and under the siege of the city for several days, the Yun Qin army was already tired, so the tens of thousands of reckless troops in the city rushed out and began a crazy counterattack.
In such a crazy and chaotic battle, where the arrows and ordnance in the city are no longer even able to distinguish between friend and foe and only desperately harvest their lives, everyone has become crazy, no longer knows how to be afraid, only knows how to desperately swing the blade in his hand at the enemy, until he is exhausted, or he is slashed by the enemy's blade and falls.
The ground is constantly bouncing as powerful ordnance is cast or heavy objects are slammed into the ground.
The layers of corpses kept vibrating and jumping from the ground, as if they were still alive.
A cultivator of the Yun Qin military was holding a black soul soldier giant sword that was about the same height as a person, and the bird-feather-like runes on the sword exuded a dazzling dark cyan brilliance, and all the Damang soldiers around him couldn't block his sword, but at the moment when the sword cut all three Damang soldiers into two pieces. This Yun Qin military cultivator looked up at the sky, and the sky in front of him was dark.
As soon as the broken part of the city wall was broken, it was thrown out by the catapult in the city and fell down on him.
The cultivator with the giant sword in his hand began to run forward the moment he raised his head, but a crossbow arrow thicker than a baby's arm carried a terrifying air current through his chest and pinned him to the ground.
"Boom!"
I don't know how many catties the broken wall and broken body smashed down fiercely, pressing this Yun Qin military general and several Yun Qin and Da Mang soldiers around him all underneath, and a layer of blood waves spread on the edge.
This is just a small fragment of the brutal battlefield that surrounds this city.
Whether it was a boulder thrown by a catapult or a crossbow arrow, it was not necessarily aimed at this cultivator, but because the sky was too densely falling, because all around him were blood waves and blades, this battlefield was full of too many uncertain factors that could lead to death. On such a battlefield, even cultivators' strength and role have been greatly weakened, and they are extremely vulnerable.
However, at this moment, in the gap of the city wall on the west side of this Xiongqi City, two strange cultivators appeared in such a battlefield, and they were still very powerful.
This is an old man and a young practitioner, and the skin on both of them has a unique light black and blue skin.
They were all wearing long black and red leather robes.
The pure black shiny leather robe was embroidered with runes like red hills.
In front of the two of them, there was a long blue and blue piano with black gas and many demon-like runes on the body.
A Da Mang sergeant holding a huge shield, dragging a chariot, clustered around the two Da Mang cultivators like lotus petals.
The hands of these two Great Reckless cultivators were quickly plucked on the long qin in front of them, and under the infusion of their soul power, the long qin in front of them did not make any sound, only emitted a swirling black gas, and the strings, like black hair, flew out and drilled into the body of a dead Yun Qin or Great Mang sergeant on the ground.
Then, these corpses, under the control of the strings that these two reckless cultivators drilled into their bodies, were like marionettes, slashing the surrounding Yun Qin soldiers.
These two strange reckless cultivators, each of them can control more than a dozen corpses, these corpses, only when their legs are cut off, unable to stand, or their bodies are completely shattered, will they lose their combat power, and after one corpse is defeated, they will try to use the strings to control a new corpse.
Soul power naturally cannot be endless, and no matter how unique the method of controlling corpses, it is nothing more than some control skills derived from soul power.
But the rotten corpses are still fighting, still killing the enemy... In particular, the soldiers who were killed by these corpses would even turn into a new corpse soldier in the next moment, but this sight made many Yun Qin soldiers on this side who were already completely crazy because of blood and killing feel terrified.
These Yun Qin soldiers were already exhausted during the several days of siege, and at this moment, this fear actually had some ability to change the situation of the battle at this time, and a frustrated aura began to spread out like ripples from this area.
The sergeant who was in the midst of a brutal strangulation was even more sensitive to this kind of qi at this time.
All of a sudden, many reckless sergeants began to let out crazy shouts, as if they had suddenly seen light in the darkness, and they intuitively felt that there was a possibility of survival in this battle.
......
Seeing that it was stalemate, the battle situation that originally seemed to have a slight advantage on the side of the Yun Qin army was about to change completely.
Suddenly, the entire Xiongqi city and the entire battlefield were stagnant at the same time, and time seemed to have suddenly stopped.
A dazzling golden light surged from the horizon in the distance.
The reckless defenders on the extremely wide city wall were the first to see that countless densely packed cavalry troops in golden armor were surging madly on the horizon like a flood.
Densely packed, in the center of the tide formed by at least tens of thousands of golden armored cavalry, there was a chariot with a height of two stories like a giant ship of the god king.
It was not an ordinary military horse that dragged this chariot, but dozens of salt-frost giant apes as tall as cave barbarians and covered in white salt frost!
Above the chariot stood a general in heavy golden armor and a golden cloak.
At the front of the chariot was a huge ramming spear as sharp as a crane's beak, and among the pavilions at the bottom of the floor, there was a priest wearing a Yunqin priest's uniform, commanding these salt frost giant apes.
The Salt Frost Giant Ape is a monster beast with amazing strength and soul master.
Obviously, all of these priests are spiritual priests!
This chariot, if necessary, can obviously be turned into a siege vehicle under the impetus of the envoys and demon beasts of these spirit priests!
The Spirit Priest, representing the purest light, is an extremely rare existence in Yunqin, but at this moment, here, there are so many!
With so many golden heavily armored cavalry troops, there is only one possibility, that is, the tall, golden general on the chariot, who seems to want to take away all the glory in this world, is the president of the Yunqin Southern Expedition, rebelling against the generalissimo Hu Piyi!
At this moment, all the Yunqin soldiers around this Xiongqi city naturally understood who was coming, and all the reckless soldiers, at this moment, had already known who was coming from this golden tide and the majesty of this chariot.
All of a sudden, the situation on the field was completely reversed.
All the reckless soldiers who had just seen the light of day in their hearts were filled with despair, and they all howled frantically and helplessly, and many reckless soldiers who were already unable to support their own physical strength even dropped their blades and fell to the ground with both hands, waiting for death.
The golden tide began to charge.
The horse's hooves struck the ground, creating a storm, and the dazzling golden light on the golden armor reflected the sunlight, making it impossible to open one's eyes at all.
This golden tide, the direction of the impact, is the gap in this majestic city.
Two strange reckless cultivators faced this overwhelming golden tide, and a wry smile appeared on their faces.
In the next moment, the two reckless cultivators were pierced by countless golden spears that fell from the sky.
A massacre began.
The golden chariot approached in front of the majestic city, and rushed into the gap like a bamboo.
A golden flying sword, like a golden lightning bolt flew out of the golden chariot, instantly severing the throats of the Da Mang sergeants next to the dozens of crossbow machines on the city wall.
The imperial envoy of this golden flying sword, after hearing the treason of Cangyue, only Gu Yunjing, the dragon and snake border army, could be compared to Hu Piyi, the general of Yun Qin, raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and calmly looked around this majestic city like a huge crater.
......
Thirty-two days after the start of the Southern Expedition, after countless staggered strangulations, the Yunqin army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers and had begun to win victories, finally officially captured the Demon Altar City and achieved a phased victory after the Southern Expedition!
The Demon Altar City is the most important military hub in the entire southern territory of Damang.
Conquering the Demon Altar City can not only drive straight into and occupy a large area of grain fields in the south of Damang, but most importantly, the large plains and several avenues behind it can allow the Yunqin army to smoothly divide the army arranged in the south by Damang. In this way, most of the Yun Qin army will be able to directly face the most important city in the southern border of Damang, which is personally guarded by Wenren Cangyue, and seize the Moon City.
In other words, this demon mandala is not only like a button with many threads connected, not only cutting this button will cut off several lines of communication and grain and grass transportation for Da Mang, but also this demon mandala is also a shield in front of the moon and the moon.
As soon as this shield is pulled out, the strength of Wenren Cangyue, which is several times the strength of Wenren Cangyue, will soon directly face Wenren Cangyue!
