Chapter 36: The Battle of the Five Armies (Seven Nights)
Subduing the demon forbidden army, the desolate tribe is brave. The two armies were fighting, the sound of killing shook the sky, the earth was shaken, and people cried and howled.
From afar, it looks like a swarm of ants. In fact, there is not much difference between humans and demons, and victory and defeat cannot be separated in a short period of time.
Here, the Seven Nights Feather Forest Tiger Warriors and the Demon Slayer Guards were also nervous. One side holds a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right. On the other side, swords are unsheathed, bows and crossbows are wound, and spears and steel whips are varied.
The Demon Slayer Guards have just marched. I saw that a centurion of the Seven Nights threw his right hand in vain, purple light flashed, and with a whoosh sound, the spear broke through the air and shot at the horns of the demon extermination army.
The demon slaying army instantly stopped behind the spear, and the Seven Nights Feather Forest Tiger Warriors immediately stopped advancing and put down a spear-throwing formation. One of the demon generals was awe-inspiring, even if he was separated by hundreds of steps, Shen Xie could still feel the majestic and murderous momentum on his body.
Shen Xie asked, "Who is this demon?" ”
Shang Mingwu said: "This demon should be one of the four ministers of the Seven Nights, the Night Array Xuan Weeping, the Jiangmen family, and the family governor of the Night Array family. It's the general of the infantry army of the Seven Nights. The Great Commander of the Seven Nights Feather Forest Tigers. ”
"Human, report your name!" The sound of the night weeping rolled over, and the tone was low and deep, like thunder in the sky, which shook people's ears and buzzed.
"The magic is not weak, there is something!" Shen Xie was about to step forward to answer immediately, but was stopped by Shang Mingwu. The latter shook his head greatly!
Shang Mingwu glanced at Hu Yanqi behind him, Hu Yanqi nodded in greeting, rode out, and replied loudly: "I am one of the seven leaders of the Demon Guard-Hu Yanqi"
The night burst Xuan wept angrily and laughed back: "Ha, human little mouse! Dare to violate the border of my demon realm? I really don't know whether to live or die. Come on, take it for me! ”
Immediately, a demon pounced, about two meters in body, wearing a centurion feather helmet, wearing a cuirass inside and chain armor outside. Strangely, the demon lowered his heavy shield and purple spear. The left hand picked up the big scimitar on his waist, the light in his eyes was like electricity, three ups and downs, striding meteors, and he had arrived in front of Hu Yanqi and slashed at him.
Hu Yanqi flashed quickly, avoiding the scimitar. Then he pulled out a tiger's eye steel whip and raised his head to strike. The demon sneered, urged the divine power, and raised his right hand, and actually lifted Hu Yanqi and the people and horses up.
The face of this high-ranking martial artist of the Demon Slayer Guard changed. The body was "fluttering" in the air and the war horse were abruptly separated, holding a steel whip in his right hand, but his left hand was secretly pinching his fingers, and the qi was hidden in his fingertips, as if there was a wind and thunder.
Night Array Xuan Weeping was taken aback when he saw it, and hurriedly reminded: "General Fierce Cockroach be careful, this human finger is not simple-"
Although I had to give a warning, it was too late. I saw that Hu Yanqi pointed to the head of the fierce cockroach: "Look at the move!" The finger poked, and the fingertip let out a sharp roar that tore through the air, and its sound was sharp and terrifying.
A "snort" sound, through the brain. Fingers are inserted from the forehead, and fingertips peek through the back of the head. His fingers were still stained with demonic blood.
The demon body is naturally strong, and the demon body has the hardest skull. A human soldier with little spare power can't pierce even with a spear. Hu Yanqi can penetrate the demon brain with one finger, and the power on his finger shocks the demon.
And the most feared thing for the demons is that this human being is just a high-level martial artist of the demon slaying guard. If it's changed to a god rank? I'm afraid the strength is even stronger.
The First Army of the Human Vanguard is mainly composed of high-ranking warriors of the Demon Slayer Guardians and the Demon Slaying Praetorian Guard. However, the Shadow Guard and the Falconer Scout Force are not counted in the combat power due to their small numbers.
Among them: the overall combat power of the Demon Slaying Guards is not as good as that of the Demon Slaying Guards. The soldiers of the Demon Suppression Guard are all elite veterans selected from the major military regions across the country, and all of them are brave and strong, and have rich combat experience.
And the demon slayer guards, although well-equipped, can be regarded as well-trained; But after all, he is not a professional soldier. Therefore, the performance on the battlefield is not as good as the Demon Suppression Praetorian Guard.
Therefore, on the march to fight, charge into battle, and conquer cities. The Demon Slayer Guardians are no match for these regular soldiers.
However, Demon Slayer Guardians also have strengths. That is, there are many Xuangong masters among the demon slaying guards, and in terms of individual martial arts alone, they are much stronger than these professional soldiers.
Just like modern martial arts, who will be stronger in one-on-one combat between a special forces soldier and a combat athlete?
The answer, of course, is combat athletes.
Because fighting is only one of the skills that special forces need to master, a special combat team member only has a few combat lessons a week. For fighters, martial arts is their ability to eat, and their daily training is aimed at helping them improve their combat ability.
As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is difficult to challenge other people's jobs with one of your many skills. Many good martial artists are hired to work as martial arts instructors in the military. But no martial arts school or fight club hires retired special forces to be instructors.
Therefore, if it was on the open battlefield, even if the number of demon slaying guards was twice as large as that of the Seven Nights Feather Forest Tiger Warriors, they would be overwhelmed by the group charge of these Seven Nights warriors.
But if it is a one-on-one melee, these demon warriors are afraid that the ten demons will not be able to defeat the demon guard.
Hu Yanqi shook the demon head and turned back to the formation.
And after losing a centurion, he found that even his own morale seemed to have been affected.
He had hoped to rely on this heads-up victory to demoralize the Demon Slayer Guards. And this result made him very sober - going head-to-head with the demon slayer guards is simply attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings.
Fortunately, after all, the home game is at home, and the advantage lies in one's own side. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "All of them, change formation!" ”
"Yes!" The Seven Nights Feather Forest Tiger Warrior answered the order loudly and re-arrayed. It becomes twenty demons per horizontal row and six demons vertically. There are two meters between the demons, and the squads are staggered. The squads in the horizontal column are spaced about thirty meters apart.
Shang Mingwu's face sank: "The other party seems to have changed formations." ”
Shen Xie said contemptuously: "Really? How I feel makes no difference! ”
Shang Mingwu shook his head and said, "No, although they are all dense infantry spears and large shield phalanxes. But the difference is that the one just used to attack with a gun shoulder to shoulder, and was equipped with a large shield, so he was good at advancing head-on. ”
Shen Xie didn't know why: "What about now?" ”
Shang Mingwu said sharply: "Although the formation style is similar, it is looser than just now, and the gap between demons is also larger, so it should be a formation that is good at defending and shooting and carrying the line." ”
"Throw!" Night's weeping let out a scream that bordered on a shrill rage. He was tall and imposing, and when he shouted, the whole city heard it, and even the fighting demon slaying forbidden army and the desolate clan Jianyong at the inner gate stopped their offensive and looked over here.
"Brush, brush!" Countless purple spears flashed with cold purple rays from the Seven Nights Battle Array.
Shang Mingwu resolutely ordered: "Open the shield array!" ”
Suddenly, there was a strange roar that shook the sky, and thirty people rushed out of the demon slaying guard array, all of whom turned out to be Xuangong masters. A yellow-faced man in the front slapped his hand to the ground.
After this shot, the yellow sand danced wildly in the sky in an instant, gradually gathering together.
A sand shield of dozens of feet stood up!
The rest of the people followed suit, and in an instant, all kinds of sand shields stood overwhelmingly above the army of demon slayers. "Puff puff!" Countless spears were held back in front of the sand shield.
Although the night array Xuan Weeping was shocked by the defensive power of the Demon Destroying Guard Xuan Gong Shield Array. But he didn't panic, because the order given to him by Seven Nights was to stop the First Army of the Human Vanguard between the outer city and the inner city of Seven Nights. If it can be destroyed, it will be destroyed, and if it cannot be destroyed, it is only necessary to trap the footsteps of the human vanguard army to move forward.
Just as the human demon was in a stalemate between the inner city and the outer city, he suddenly heard several drums at the gate of Nimaru Castle. After the sound of the "whimper......." drum, there was another sound of the neighing of war horses.
Shen Xie's eyes were sharp, and he saw that in the gate of Ermaru City, a demon general rode a heavily armored black horse and slowly stepped out. The demon was dressed in black lacquer armor and carried a giant axe on his shoulder. Lai Mo roared: "The scum of the seven nights learn to see how Uncle Ben cleans up this group of humans." ”
As soon as the words fell, the demon general roared violently, and the giant axe danced wildly, rushing towards the flank of the demon slayer army like crazy, and just collided with the demon slayer guard who performed the sand shield mystic technique.
"Kill it!" Shang Mingwu waved his hand and ordered.
But seeing that the demon sneered, he danced the big axe in his hand impenetrable, unstoppable, screaming wildly, and facing the swords, guns, swords, halberds and Xuangong techniques of the demon slaying guards. still rushed and beat violently, and even killed more than 50 people in an instant, and the morale of the demon extermination army was suddenly shattered.
Shen Xie secretly admired and asked Shang Mingwu, "Who is this demon?" ”
Shang Mingwu replied: "Tiger galloping gale, one of the eight hussars of the Yinqi family, the henchman of the Yinqi Breaking Army!" There is the courage of ten thousand people. If I'm not mistaken, it should have an older brother named Tiger Ben Beacon, who is equally brave and invincible. ”
"Silver Eight Hussars, sure enough." Shen Xie nodded: "Qiye and Yinqi, these two feuds are really teamed up." ”
Shang Mingwu didn't respond, turned his head and glanced back at someone.
"Wait a minute, the leader will take its head!" A majestic voice sounded from behind Shang Mingwu, and before he could give an order, the sound of the wind swept from the side to the side. Shen Xie saw that a strong man had flashed in front of the demon's body, and the sword light was like practice, and he slashed in with the shadow of the axe.
The black shadow that flashed out was Chang Chengqiu, one of the seven leaders of the Demon Guard, in his fifties, a high-level martial artist of the Demon Guard, with a strong body, hard and cold eyes, extremely strong muscles, and Xuan Gong flowing all over his body, and the heat was enough. A big knife called the Crazy Sun Eight Chopping Knife is also quite remarkable.
I saw that Chang Chengqiu only swung three knives, and then forced the tiger to gallop and had to withdraw the axe to defend. In this fight, Tiger Rush knew that he was very good, and the demon immediately turned his horse's head and abandoned Chang Chengqiu. Entering the demon extermination army again, as soon as the magic skill was opened, the giant axe rolled up, and the axe wind split the air. Like thunder, the wind and rain.
It was confident in its strength and magical skills, and if it was fully used, it could easily throw all the humans within three meters of it ten feet high, and then fall down and fall into a pulp.
The demon suddenly rushed into the demon extermination army again, shouting and fighting, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten people were killed by it. All of them had broken heads, broken limbs, and died miserably. The weapons that beckoned it in front of it were all hard and deep bounced away with the air waves of the giant axe.
In an instant, the army was full of axe shadows and demonic winds. Although the demon guard army surrounded the demon on all sides, it couldn't help it for a while.
