Chapter 67: The Demon Tide (II)

The spirit arrow killed the demon beasts that chased into the valley mouth, and the boulders rolled down, piling up with the corpses of these demon beasts, and soon they were as high as a hill, blocking the entrance to the valley that was already relatively narrow.

The mortal sergeants of the 10th Battalion, under the command of the Iron Captain, tied iron chains to the boulders blocking the entrance, and laid wooden stakes to further strengthen them. As a result, Taniguchi was completely sealed, making it difficult to clear the entrances and exits. The valley was lined with steep cliffs on both sides, and even if those monsters took a detour to climb the mountain, they couldn't jump off the valley.

After Jiang Chen ordered Wang Mazi and others to lead half of the assault camp, the army continued to advance along the valley path. If the demon beasts behind him wanted to make a detour from both sides of the valley, it would take at least two or three more hours. The Daozi Army wanted to take advantage of these hours to hurry as much as possible and leave this dangerous place. The closer you get to the Valley of the Dragons, the safer the army will be.

Jiang Chen ordered the whole army to abandon all unnecessary military resources and heavy goods, travel lightly and quickly, without sleep, and strive to use another day and night of rapid marching to reach the Descending Dragon Valley. Jiang Chen himself even threw away those few military books, but he was really reluctant to throw away the "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum", so he still put it on the carriage that accompanied him.

However, the Daozi army had just walked out of this valley, and suddenly the spies in front of them sent an urgent report: There are also a large number of demon beasts ahead, and the number is unknown!

Jiang Chen was shocked, and he hurriedly climbed to the higher cliff on the side of the valley with the help of several sergeants and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, just in front of the march of the army, a large cloud of dust rose like yellow clouds, and countless demon beasts were rushing here, and the momentum that was gradually approaching was like the tide at high tide, which seemed slow from afar, but it was unstoppable!

"This is what they call the demon tide!" Jiang Chen's heart was cold, so many demon beasts were like the tide of the sea, enough to crush everything! If the army walked out of the valley, no matter how they resisted, they were afraid that they would be overwhelmed by this demon tide!

"Retreat to the valley and be ready!" Jiang Chen immediately ordered.

As the army retreated into the valley, it left all kinds of obstacles along the way at the mouth of the valley, whether it was a tripwire or a boulder. The sergeants of the first to fifth battalions also set up more than a dozen black iron giant bows. The Giant Bow is mounted on higher ground, which gives it a wider range. The sergeants of the assault battalion stood in front of the large army as the last barrier.

Half an hour later, as soon as the soldiers of the Daozi Army had completed their formation, the demon beasts poured into the valley from the outside like a tide.

Jiang Chen gave an order, and suddenly the rocks flew down, and the spirit arrows shot fiercely! The first batch of demon beasts that rushed into the valley immediately turned into a cloud of flesh and blood. The follow-up demon beasts continued to pounce, but they were still put down at the mouth of the valley.

In just a short incense stick, Taniguchi was blocked by a mountain of demon beast corpses, and it was difficult for the demon beasts behind to even rush in.

The movement outside the valley gradually subsided, and the demon tide should have stopped outside the valley.

Jiang Chen frowned, the retreat route was broken, there was a demon tide in front of them, and they were blocked in this narrow valley!

"Pass the order down, and take back the military funds that were discarded in the valley, I'm afraid we will have to hold on here for a while!" Jiang Chen sighed.

"It seems that behind this demon tide, there is indeed an enemy national road cultivator manipulating. Jiang Chen said secretly in his heart. If it is just a group of demon beasts without command, after encountering a strong counterattack, they will most likely flee in all directions according to their survival instinct, and if they encounter a situation where the road ahead is blocked, they will most likely take a detour. However, those demon beasts outside the valley were just surrounded outside the valley, neither dispersed, nor continued to rush towards the valley, just to trap the Dao word army, and there was obviously Dao Xiu's manipulation behind this.

However, what Jiang Chen didn't expect was that these demon beasts inevitably came too quickly. The Daozi army rushed all the way, and had just arrived here, and the demon tide was already waiting in front of it. Could it be that these demon beasts already knew the route of the Daozi Army, or did they happen to be hoarded here, and happened to be bumped into by the Daozi Army?

If it weren't for the dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that the Daozi Army would have already been shattered and annihilated by the impact of the demon tide!

The attack of the demon beast slowed down a little, and all the sergeants seized the opportunity to rest, and those Dao lieutenant officers came to Jiang Chen one after another to ask for instructions: "Lord Adjutant General, what should I do?"

Previously, Sergeant Zhong Dao Lieutenant had also asked Jiang Chen about military affairs, but they had already made plans, and they were just doing superficial work, so they asked Jiang Chen, the nominal commander, to agree. But this time, the Dao Lieutenants really had high hopes for Jiang Chen, looking forward to this young coach being able to lead them out of this dangerous place and survive.

Jiang Chen looked at everyone's expectant eyes, and his heart was also quite anxious.

"Captain Tie," Jiang Chen asked the mortal sergeant commander, "You have a lot of experience in marching and fighting, what should you do if there is no way back and there are chasing soldiers in front?"

Captain Tie replied: "If you can't break through, you can only hold on to the danger for the time being and wait for reinforcements to support!"

"Not bad!" Jiang Chen nodded: "At this time, I'm afraid waiting for support is the best choice!"

Old Monster Chen shook his head again and again, and sighed: "It's a pity, there is only one Daozi Army, and the other garrisons in the Xiliang Frontier are all mortal sergeants, even if their bows and arrows are sharp, they can't kill and injure those demon beasts and rescue us! As for the Dao Court, hmph! Those people in the Dao Court, one by one, are sanctimonious, and under the pretext of the Dao Army, they have summoned us and other Jianghu Scattered Cultivators here, but they have secretly betrayed us and sent us to death in the frontier! This time the Dao Court is taking the opportunity to attack the forces of our Jianghu Scattered Cultivators, and they will never send reinforcements to support us!"

Wang Mazi also sighed: "What Brother Chen said is! We are also at ease when we do Jianghu Loose Cultivation, and we should not listen to the words of the Daoist Court at all, and participate in any Daoist army, but the result is that we have fallen for the tricks of those traitors in the Daoist Court! It seems that we are waiting for the Jianghu Scattered Cultivation, and this time it is difficult to escape! The funny thing is that after the other Jianghu Scattered Cultivators learned of our death, I am afraid that they did not know that there was a Dao Court behind them, and even continued to obey the Dao Court and serve the Dao Court!"

The contradiction between the Taoist court and the scattered cultivation of the rivers and lakes is a bit like the contradiction between the imperial court and the common people, and it is difficult to reconcile in the first place. What's more, this time it was indeed the Dao Court that betrayed the Jianghu Loose Cultivation, so it is understandable that everyone in the Dao Army hated it to the core.

Chifeng and the few remaining Sword Worshipping Daoists all bowed their heads and remained silent at this time. They are also pawns abandoned by the Dao Court, and they will not defend the Dao Court at all at this time.

When the rivers and lakes scattered and corrected your words and I kept cursing the Dao Court, Jiang Chen's mind was in a hurry, thinking about the way to solve this deadlock.

"Let's wait for the sergeant who has recovered the military funds to come back," Jiang Chen said: "Let's see how much military funds we have and how long we can hold on before making a decision! Fortunately, the military resources should be relatively abundant, and we can hold on for a long time." ”

Zhong Daowei nodded, and he could only take one step at a time!

After a stick of incense, a sergeant suddenly came to report: when they took back their military funds, they found that some of them had been burned!

"How can it be burned, who will set fire to the military funds?"

"Oops!" Jiang Chen's heart was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "In our Daozi army, there are enemy spies!"
