Chapter 66: The Demon Tide (Part II)

The dust in the distance was becoming more visible, and the roar of the rush was getting closer. Later, the dust seemed to be a yellow cloud rising from the ground, covering most of the sky, and the tremor from the ground was almost unsteady, like a landslide and a crack.

Although the dust was so thick that I couldn't see how many demon beasts there were, just the roar and vibration sound was enough to conclude that the number of demon beasts that came this time far exceeded the previous few times.

The yellow cloud was getting closer and closer, and the hidden figures of demon beasts gradually emerged, those demon beasts that didn't know whether they were tigers, leopards or jackals, they were all huge, running like flying. Jiang Chen's iron rider was frightened by this huge movement and raised his front hooves, almost not throwing Jiang Chen off the ground.

Fortunately, these are all war horses, and after a little pacification, they can be settled, and if they are ordinary horses, I am afraid that they have already fled in the wilderness.

Jiang Chen looked back and saw that the army was still evacuating, and only half of the long line had entered the valley, and half was on the way.

"Draw the bow!" Jiang Chen shouted, his voice muffled by the roar of the demon beast, but the waving of the command flag was enough for the soldiers of each battalion to understand his military order.

Some of the sergeants immediately poured Dao Qi into the Dark Iron Giant Bow, and gathered a long spiritual arrow on the bowstring, ready to fire!

The dust had already swept up on Jiang Chen and the others, and the demon beasts at the front were only a hundred feet away.

"Shoot the arrows!" Jiang Chen ordered the flag officer to wave the order flag.

Spirit arrows immediately shot out in volleys, piercing through the yellow turbid dust and striking at the rushing demon beasts. However, the dust in the sky was flying, and after the spirit arrow was shot into the group of demon beasts, he couldn't even see the spiritual light, and he could only hear the screams of demon beasts in the distance, which should have killed a lot of demon beasts.

A group of ten Dao Heroes stored Dao Qi on their arms in advance, replaced the previous batch of Dao Heroes, injected Dao Qi into the Xuantie Giant Bow very quickly, and then immediately pulled the bow and shot arrows. After shooting the spirit arrows, they immediately retreated and replaced them with the next batch of Dao Heroes.

A Xuantie giant bow, there are four or five groups of Dao heroes who take turns to step forward and use it. The Five Battalion Dao Warriors manipulated more than a dozen Xuantie giant bows and constantly shot out one spirit arrow after another.

These spirit arrows were like a dense meteor shower, piercing into the thick yellow clouds and dust, killing countless demon beasts. Not long after, the dust became a little lighter, and the figures of those demon beasts could be seen more clearly.

Beneath the yellow clouds and dust, there was a row of bloody demon beast corpses. However, there are more demon beasts stepping on those corpses and continuing to rush forward!

The Dao heroes kept pulling their bows and shooting arrows, and the Dao Qi was consumed quickly, but fortunately, they took turns to go into battle and had a little respite. Even so, after two rounds and hundreds of spirit arrows were shot, the Dao Qi of the Dao Heroes was also consumed a lot!

If it is a Dao Xia with a low Dao Law, he will exhaust his Dao Qi after one round, and he will not have the strength to carry out the second round of attacks. Fortunately, the sergeants of these five battalions are all Dao heroes with relatively deep Taoist spirit in the Daozi Army, and Jiang Chen estimates that they can hold out for two or three more rounds.

"Slow down the arrow!" Jiang Chen ordered, wait for the demon beast to get closer before releasing the arrow, the closer the distance, the stronger the lethality of the spirit arrow, and a spirit arrow can even penetrate the vital point of two or three demon beasts!

The demon beast rushed forward, and suddenly iron chains the thickness of an arm appeared on the ground. These chains were also covered with iron thorns, which were used by mortal sergeants to deal with cavalry enemies.

The few demon beasts that were running in front were suddenly put down by the tripping horse rope and fell heavily to the ground, smashing out large pits and splashing dust. The demon beasts behind didn't have time to stop, some were tripped by the demon beasts in front, and some stepped directly on the demon beasts that fell to the ground, and they jumped over the tripwire with a vertical leap and continued to rush forward.

The strength and brutal bodies of these demon beasts are much more powerful than war horses! The stumbling horse rope only lasted for a few breaths, and it was directly torn off by the demon beasts that rushed later! However, there were still several demon beasts that were trampled to death by other demon beasts.

"Whoosh!" Spiritual light shone brightly, and spiritual arrows shot out in volleys, killing the rushing demon beasts. There were also a few demon beasts that were only slightly injured, or dodged the spirit arrows, and rushed in front of the soldiers.

The assault battalion led by Old Monster Chen had already prepared, and they carried their swords and slashed wildly, killing these demon beasts at once!

"The first battalion retreated a hundred steps, and the other battalion sergeants continued to hold on!" Jiang Chen issued another military order. The army is about to retreat into the valley, and these battalions of sergeants must also fight and retreat, otherwise they will be surrounded by demon beasts sooner or later.

After a volley, Jiang Chen ordered the sergeants of a battalion to retreat a hundred steps, and after a few volleys, all the sergeants retreated a little, but the camp that held on was not chaotic, and the assault battalion quickly killed the lone demon beast, and the demon beast still failed to break through the defense.

The group of demon beasts went forward one after another, constantly trampling on the corpses of their companions, and continued to rush towards Jiang Chen and the others. Although the sergeants killed and shot a lot of demon beasts, the demon beasts were also approaching step by step, constantly compressing the living space of the sergeants.

What's worse is that the sergeants' Dao Qi is rapidly depleting. The length of the spiritual arrows they shot gradually decreased, and the power gradually decreased.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of "woo" horns from the rear, and after Jiang Chen heard it, he immediately perked up!

The army had all withdrawn into the valley, and now they had to retreat to the valley as well.

"Retreat!" Jiang Chen commanded loudly. Although it is a retreat, it is not as simple as turning around and leaving. The sergeants of the 1st to 5th battalions fired a volley, and then immediately retreated into the valley. The sergeants of the assault battalion were in charge of the break, and they rode fast horses, but instead of the entrance to the valley to the south, they ran to the west.

The demon beast was naturally led away by the sergeants of the assault battalion, which bought the other five battalion sergeants a precious opportunity to retreat. The sergeants of the fifth battalion quickly retreated into the valley, and they immediately set up the Darkiron Giant Bow at the mouth of the valley to prevent the demon beast from chasing after them.

The sergeant of the assault battalion led the demon beast to gallop, and the Dao Hero who was running at the front suddenly raised the order flag and waved, and after all the Dao Heroes received the order, they covered their mouths and noses with white cloths, and at the same time sprinkled pieces of black powder from the pockets on their waists.

These are grass and wood ashes, although there is no harm to the demon beasts, but after so many Dao heroes are scattered at the same time, the surroundings are suddenly black, like a black cloud shrouded, and the direction is difficult to identify.

The demon beasts were suddenly like headless flies, and most of the demon beasts just instinctively continued to run forward, and when they rushed out of this black cloud, they found that the Dao Heroes had already turned around and were running towards the entrance of the valley at the south gate.

The war horses ridden by Jiang Chen and the others had already rushed into the entrance of the valley, and the assault battalions behind the cushions also rushed in one after another.

Finally, the iron cavalry of the last assault battalion sergeant also rushed into the valley mouth. The sergeants who were ambushed near the mouth of the valley swarmed up, and together with the sergeants of the assault battalion, they killed several demon beasts that rushed after them on the spot!

Jiang Chen immediately ordered to break off!

Suddenly, more than a dozen huge spiritual arrows shot towards Taniguchi! Halfway up the hillside, huge boulders rolled down and smashed towards Taniguchi!
