Chapter 340: Helpless and Losing Ground

The hammer fell, and the taut machine quickly rotated, and the heavy stone stone fell suddenly, driving the throwing rod to swing, and the clay pot contained in the leather bag at the end was easily thrown out.

In the sound of whirring wind, dozens of similar clay pots flew over the array of the army and smashed directly into the city nearly a hundred zhang away, all of which were shattered. The carefully prepared flame in the clay pot ignited as soon as the wind blew up, roaring and devouring the lives of the defenders.

The Jiuli general, who had escaped the catastrophe, raised his shield and roared loudly, pushing the soldiers who were covered in fire off the city wall and letting the other soldiers take turns in the city.

But before the garrison on the city wall could be properly arranged, the stone thrower outside the city threw stone projectiles the size of a human head, and the soldiers defending the city only felt as if there were waves outside one after another, continuously bombarding the city wall, lest the city wall collapse.

It was okay for the stone bullet to hit the surface of the city wall, but it left a shallow pit and white spots. The most terrifying thing is that those stone bullets and crossbow arrows that fly past the city usually directly chisel the wall battlements, and even knock the soldiers hiding behind them away, leaving only a touch of flesh and blood in the lake, which makes the soldiers on the left and right more fearful.

There is a fierce attack of the bear country, and the soldiers have not yet been sent to climb the city wall, just attacking with all kinds of equipment, it is a posture of losing stones like rain, and the defenders of the Jiuli country in the city cannot raise their heads. At this moment, there are fires in many places in the city, shouting and screaming are deafening, and the morale of the army is about to collapse.

Seeing that the small city was difficult to hold, some soldiers had already begun to discuss retreat. Just when the people's hearts were scattered, the siege outside suddenly stopped, and a red glow from the southwest went straight to the city, revealing the figure of the high priest Li Chun.

"It's the High Priest! The High Priest has come to our rescue! ”

There was an exclamation in the city on the ground, and then it spread ten, ten and hundred, and everyone couldn't help but raise their heads. I saw Li Chun wearing Zhu Wenwu's uniform, holding an ochre-colored jade medal, stepping on Tongyun and Hongxia arches, and appeared instantly, the soldiers defending the city below were all enthusiastic and fierce!

"All the soldiers are in their positions, and the enemy's morale is exhausted!" Li Chun raised his voice and shouted, while he rushed here, he also summoned a group of ghost soldiers to attack the siege equipment set up by the bear country from behind, which really made their offensive stop.

Although this matter has been completed, Li Chun does not have much joy, he is now in charge of the overall situation, and he knows very well what kind of life and death the Jiuli Kingdom is facing.

Since the two countries have been fighting each other, the Jiuli Kingdom has won fewer victories and more defeats. On the entire front line, there are more than twice as many soldiers and horses as the Jiuli Kingdom, and the armor is sufficient, to an unimaginable level. Even in order to capture this small city, he did not hesitate to use a large number of catapults and ballistas, and he was eager to tear the city wall apart directly.

In fact, there are Xiong Guo's siege equipment can indeed collapse and tear apart the city wall, and the rune rune arrows that once appeared when fighting with Huaxu State have now reappeared in the army of Youxiong State, and with strong national strength, a large number of rune soldiers and rune arrows have been created, and they have been pressed with overwhelming momentum, making it difficult for Jiuli State to parry.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Chun now had the authority to command the Netherworld, it would not be enough to deal with this disadvantage.

Summoned a Yin army to attack from the rear to temporarily contain the enemy army from attacking the city, Li Chun fell into the city, and personally gave orders to the soldiers defending the city.

"You immediately mobilize an elite army, and when the enemy army is dispersed by the Yin soldiers, immediately go out of the city to cover and kill!" Li Chunyan said: "The priests of the Holy Valley are coming, you don't have to worry, I will advance and retreat with you!" ”

"Swear allegiance to the High Priest!" Some soldiers took the initiative to shout, which immediately attracted all the soldiers to echo in unison, and the mountains roared for a time.

But at this time, there was a sound of Zhong Lu Yunqi in the northern sky, and the mystical meridian rhyme rippled between heaven and earth. Li Chun immediately had a sense, flew up again, and saw Gan Lin descending, and the Yin soldiers and ghosts he summoned collapsed like smoke and dust, leaving no body.

"Zhao Xiao, it's you again!" Li Chun did not lose the morale of the army, and his face was calm, but he was extremely angry in his heart.

Recently, whenever he summons the Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers to help, there will be corresponding actions on the side of the bear country, destroying the Yin soldiers and transforming the souls of the dead with rituals and rituals.

Considering the news that spies from all walks of life came back a few days ago, there was a Xiong country spreading mandalas near the front line, and many salute officials were sent to the mandala, it is conceivable that Zhao Xiao must be presiding over the rituals and rituals in the rear, just to deal with the Yin soldiers and ghosts summoned by Li Chun.

Now Li Chun has been blessed by the Yongcui Divine Tree, and his mana is deep and wide. Hooked up with the netherworld, thousands of Yin soldiers were summoned by him. However, commanding the Yin soldiers and ghosts is also based on the work of thinking, so the number of Yin soldiers that Li Chun controls at the same time is limited after all.

During this period of fighting, Li Chun vaguely noticed that something was wrong, that is, the other party was likely to gradually find out that he controlled the limited number of Yin soldiers. Therefore, every time he made a move, he immediately went to the altar to save the soul, and never fought hard with himself, and Zhao Huang and his people have never taken the initiative to show up.

Fortunately, with the blessing of the Yongcui Divine Tree, Li Chun was able to sense the change in qi and gain insight into the movements of the Xiong Army, trying to preemptively arrange the important places in various Guancheng.

However, even so, Li Chun still couldn't reverse the decline, and he suddenly realized that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Even if he can be called an extraordinary saint, but after all, he is only alone, and when he arrives on the battlefield, the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom still cannot gain the upper hand.

It was precisely because of this that Li Chun asked the Goddess of Yongcui to consult with those Southern Earth Demon Gods and ask them to assist in the battle ahead. Even if you can't descend like you did back then, you must at least try to destroy the rituals of the Bear Country.

Seeing that a tiger-headed god in the distance will fall from the sky, holding a golden Yue in his hand, leading a team of heavenly soldiers and feather cavalry, waving his troops and rampaging, and destroying hundreds of Yin soldiers and ghosts in one face.

Li Chun really couldn't stand it, even if there were countless souls in the southern soil, but at the moment, such a consumption would be very detrimental to the battle situation.

So Li Chun didn't wait for the other priests and monks to come, he stepped forward first, and with a flick of the red seal in his hand, the divine fire soared into the air, turning into the momentum of the nine dragons, and towards the tiger-headed god general, like a big bowl upside down!

The tiger head god will see this situation, in order to protect the army of the bear country on the ground, do not retreat but advance, the golden Yue in his hand is round and horizontal, and the vast golden mangs have the power to open the mountain, and the Nine Dragons Shenhuo are facing each other.

Exploded, the fire of the Nine Dragons God was three points larger, the Tiger Head God was not caught, and he was covered in fire and fell into the dust, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Feather Cavalry were difficult to resist, and they also dissipated one after another.

"It doesn't matter which Dharma General you are, before the Nine Dragons Divine Fire, you will be vulnerable after all!" Li Chun laughed loudly, and the soldiers defending the city were also very ecstatic when they saw it, and some people even took the initiative to open the city gate and planned to rush out.

In that year, the Tianxia Dynasty opened up the southern territory, enshrined the Lord of Huode in the Shengyu Valley, and built a shrine to calm all the ghosts and gods in the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers. For this reason, Zhao Daoxiang, the chief priest, refined this red seal for the purpose of the town altar.

As a ritual weapon, the Chi Xi Chapter could not be used for killing and fighting at first, but at the same time as the mountains and rivers of Anzhen, it was also contaminated by the qi of heaven and earth, and in the end, it not only condensed the image of the fire in the south, but also because of the subtle qi emitted by the dragon blood treasure tree near the Shengyu Valley, so that the Nine Dragons Divine Fire was cultivated in the Chi Xi Chapter, which can be said to be a magic weapon that borrows the power of heaven and earth and does its best.

The only problem is that if you want to envoy the Chi Xuan Chapter and urge the Nine Dragons Divine Fire, the divine soul will have to bear a great shock, and with Li Chun's past cultivation as the foundation, it will not be able to control it at all.

Fortunately, after marrying with the Yongcui Temple, Dan Ying successfully made the Yongcui Divine Tree hook up the heaven and earth qi number to bless himself, and the divine soul when he urged the Chi Xi Chapter was shocked, which was equivalent to being borne by the Divine Tree.

Seeing that the tiger-headed god generals and heavenly soldiers and feather cavalry were defeated and retreated, Li Chun planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and once again condensed his efforts to launch the Nine Dragons Divine Fire, and there were flames in mid-air.

"Humph! How can you get your wish? ”

With a shout, the flying sword shot at the light, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Condensation was time-consuming, and Li Chun was self-preservation, so he had to withdraw the majestic mana.

The flying sword attacked head-on, Li Chun raised his arm and waved, and the grand mana drew an enchantment barrier, easily blocking the flying sword.

"Yi Zhenzi, is that all you have to do?" Li Chun watched the flying sword spin continuously and tried to pierce the enchantment, and sneered: "It seems that you haven't grown much in these years. ”

"Nanban, how long do you think you can be arrogant?!" Yi Zhenzi came with a weak hand, his eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and his momentum was compelling, and he was separated from Li Chun.

"I didn't expect that the four immortal princes of Jingzong would now become Zhao Xiao's pawns." Li Chun's mouth was also a little ruthless: "Anyway, he is also a senior master who has been famous for a hundred years, but he can only do the work of a thug, isn't it insulting?" ”

Li Chun had also dealt with the Four Immortals in the past, especially after the Jiuli Kingdom took in the Corpse Accumulation Sect, the Four Immortal Princes even asked Li Chun to hand over the Corpse Accumulation Sect more than once. Among them, Yi Zhenzi, who was jealous and hateful, also went deep into the Jiuli Kingdom for a time and killed several evil cultivators, which was completely a swordsman who walked the rivers and lakes.

Li Chun knew that Yi Zhenzi was arrogant, and he was unwilling to be dispatched for Zhao Huang, so he deliberately provoked him with words.

Sure enough, Yi Zhenzi's face showed anger, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not your turn to ask about this kind of thing!" ”

"Oh, that's so nice." Li Chun asked, "I want to ask, how much benefit did Zhao Xiao give to let you Shangjingzong protect him like this?" can make the four immortals tempted, it must not be mundane, it must be related to the achievements of the immortal Dao. ”

"You're talking too much!" Yi Zhenzi roared angrily, swept his sword fingers, and the flying sword circled around his body, and then rushed into the sky, and in a blink of an eye, there was a sound of cracking silk, and when he looked up, there was a divine blade falling from the sky in the cloud vortex!

"Heavenly Sword Magic?" Li Chun knew that this was Yi Zhenzi's fetal immortal magic image, and this kind of sword immortal killing skill was the most powerful, and it was difficult to avoid it.

In the face of the trend of mountains toppling, Li Chun didn't dare to be careless, sensed the Yongcui Divine Tree, drank a long voice, raised his arms high, and countless branches and leaves were born in the void, sealing the sky and locking the earth, as if opening countless large nets, blocking the power of the Heavenly Sword!

Yi Zhenzi angrily raised his mana, and the Heavenly Sword Law was approaching inch by inch, intending to cut off all the branches and leaves. It's a pity that the Heavenly Sword is still sharp, and at this moment it seems to be mired in the quagmire, making no progress, and it is difficult to extricate itself.

"Hahaha! It's just waiting for you to throw yourself into the net! Li Chun laughed loudly, he planned to use the power of the Divine Tree to take away the Heavenly Sword Magic Elephant in one fell swoop. The immortal cultivator has lost the immortal magic image, and the mana of cultivation has been greatly reduced, and he is not dead or disabled!

But just as Li Chun was about to win in one fell swoop, he suddenly felt that his mana was empty, and the Yongcui Divine Tree lost its senses, and the branches and leaves that moved Yansheng melted into the wind, and before he could react, the Heavenly Sword Magic Elephant suddenly fell, directly slashing Li Chun, pressing him to the ground.

Li Chun snorted, although he lost the blessing of the Yongcui Divine Tree, he still had a talisman magic weapon on his body, barely resisting the edge of the Heavenly Sword for him, so that he would not be cracked in two on the spot.

"Southern barbarian, ambush!"

Seeing this situation, Yi Zhenzi was overjoyed, and immediately increased the mana, the human sword was united, and he brazenly pierced Li Chun's talisman mana.

At the moment of life and death, Li Chun gritted his teeth and urged a secret method of substitution and robbery, and the original form disappeared out of thin air, turning into a grass dummy, which was instantly shattered under the edge of the Heavenly Sword.

"Humph! Pretty fast! Yi Zhenzi noticed that Li Chun had fled, and he also retracted his mana, looked to the south, and sensed that the qi of heaven and earth and the law of creation were undergoing subtle changes, although there was no scene of landslides and earth cracks, but it was more profound and unpredictable.

"He really did it." Yi Zhenzi secretly exclaimed, looked down, and the battlefield below gradually divided the winner and loser.

Li Chun was cut down by the Heavenly Sword, and the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom were shocked when they saw this, and their morale suddenly collapsed. The soldiers of the bear country saw clearly, and the sound of cheers shook the earth, and with an order, the army covered the past, easily broke through the city gate, and chased and killed the remnants of the enemy.

"How's it going?" Yi Zhenzi's ears heard the voice of the head of the house, Han Yuanzi, coming from afar.

"Zhao Huang succeeded, Li Chun lost the help of the Divine Tree, and was severely injured by me with the Heavenly Sword." Yi Zhenzi said with some regret: "But I still let him escape." ”

"After this defeat, Li Chun has no strength to fight back, and the Jiuli Kingdom is generally certain." Han Yuanzi said.

"This Li Chun, relying on his own Yongcui Divine Tree to bless and praise him, did not wait for other backups to come, and took the initiative to rush out of the city, he deserved this fate." Yi Zhenzi saw several priests and monks of the Jiuli Kingdom flying in the distance, and they didn't dare to approach when they saw the situation here.

Han Yuanzi said: "Thanks to Zhao Xiao's timeliness, it's just that I didn't notice the weather of the catastrophe, and I don't know what the situation of Yongcui Temple is." ”

"Do you want me to take a look?" Yi Mako asked.

"Then I'll have you to run." Han Yuanzi said.

"I'll go." Yi Zhenzi bowed his head slightly, and then looked at those priest monks, just sensing that there were corpse cultivators among them, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his flying sword and behead it, so shocked that the rest of the priests fled without looking back, and then flew towards the south.

……

Zhao Xiao watched as the emerald green light returned from afar, descending along the branches and leaves, returning to the sacred tree.

"I've reclaimed the power I lent." Wakaki, who was stuck in the trunk of the tree, said.

"Okay." Zhao Xiao nodded heavily, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, this time he was as clever as a yellow tongue, and persuaded a master who was comparable to the immortal family.

Of course, Zhao Huang was able to take down the Yongcui Divine Tree, mainly because he found the right method of restraint, and the Dongtian Law was shocked, which made the mountain ghost and wood guest suffer a lot, which just poked at Ruomu's weakness, which allowed her to take the initiative to withdraw the mana blessed by Li Chun.
