Chapter 718: A Million Heroes (8)
"Boom!"
An explosion was heard from the south. The sky-high flames illuminated all the enemies, who rode corpse beasts, fearless of the minefields on the ground, and charged at the egrets.
"Boom! Bang! Boom ......" mines detonated one after another, instantly burning the defensive line five miles away into a sea of fire.
But there was only a brief moment of silence, and the corpse beasts gathered into a tide again, crossing the line of fire and continuing to rush.
Yuwen Changqing waved his feather fan and shouted: "Air troops, attack!" ”
Three hundred flying horses flew south at the same time, each with three soldiers, one controlling a bird, one igniting explosives, and one throwing explosives.
Velvet bombs roared down, carpet bombing at the corpse tide, and in an instant, three percent of the 100,000 corpse beasts had been destroyed!
The corpse of the "crackling ......" burned in the flames, billowing smoke, and the stench was terrible.
The corpses on fire roared fiercely, and when they rushed three miles away, their feet suddenly collapsed, and the leading troops all fell into the trap and fiercely interspersed with the ground thorns, unable to extricate themselves.
The brute ignited the rocket, and the ten thousand swords fired a volley, intercepting all the corpse beasts that tried to leap over one by one.
Soon, most of the corpse beasts had hair, and once they were burned, it was impossible to extinguish them, so that the army of 100,000 corpse beasts was all buried in the fire.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! The yellow-eyed poisonous corpse that led the way finally gave the order to retreat.
The southern offensive had just been repulsed, and explosions rang out in the minefields of the east and west, and more than 100,000 infantry corpses charged at the same time.
"Hmph, the mantis arm is a car, and it is not self-sufficient." Yuwen Changqing waved his feather fan again: "The bombing continues." ”
Four hundred more horsemen flew out of the market town, each flying to the east and west, throwing velvet bombs. The infantry without corpse beasts was completely vulnerable to the bombs, and before they could even charge to the trap, they were stopped by the wall of fire and had to retreat.
In the northern sky, a gust of wind howled, and tens of thousands of poisonous corpses flew into the sky.
Yan Yunting and Li Huaian soared into the sky, killing the poisonous corpse flying in two ways, left and right.
Yan Yunting burned nearly thirty percent of the flying horses to ashes with a single sword, and Li Huai'an took out a thousand flying swords, like a meat grinding machine, and cut the flying horses into pieces.
Occasionally, a few flying horsemen who managed to pass through the defense line were chased up and strangled by the brutes as soon as they landed.
In just a quarter of an hour, most of the Poison Corpse Flying Rider had been lost and had to be evacuated.
"It's not going to end so easily, is it?" Yan Yunting and Li Huai'an collected their swords and returned to the Egret Palace.
Yuwen Changqing shook his head: "Of course not, not even the Blue Pupil Corpse King has appeared, their attack this time is just a temptation; Three of our four minefields have been trampled on, and when this fire is extinguished, they will surely launch a second charge, by which time we will have to fight with bayonets. ”
The "Huhu ......" wind and snow did not weaken due to the fire, on the contrary, the more it blew more and more fiercely, and it was only an hour, and only repeated gunpowder smoke remained on the battlefield.
The undead legions, hovering on the edge of darkness, are ready to move again!
"Mr. Yuwen, the poisonous corpse flying horses in the north and the corpse beasts in the south are constantly migrating to the east and west, and it seems that the scale has increased a lot, and the total is probably as many as 200,000!" The scout came to report urgently.
"Hmm...... Land and air cooperation, left and right flanking attacks, these ghouls really have some tactics," Yuwen Changqing ordered: "Pass my order, Nanji and Beiji each transfer 5,000 soldiers, reinforced on the east and west sides respectively, and then pass an order, if you kill thirty poisonous corpses, reward a piece of corned beef, if you kill sixty poisonous corpses, you can make an exception to reward a jar of velvet wine." ”
"Understood!" The Scout smiled energetically.
Perhaps for brute soldiers, spirits can really boost combat effectiveness.
Soon, the second round of the offensive began.
The two blue-eyed corpse kings rode lizards, leading corpse beasts and infantry to charge from the east and west.
Yan Yunting and Li Huai'an each held a dragon crystal, and each led two flying cavalry teams to the air to block the attack.
In ground warfare, the brutes first bombarded a wave of corpses, and then fired a volley of rockets, which burned the flames again and increased the visual range.
Ignorant of pain and weariness, the tide of corpses soon rushed out of the line of fire, and they took the corpse beasts as the leader, jumping over the trap and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the brutes!
Swords intersect, life and death duel!
The fight soon reached its climax!
In the air battle, Yan Yunting led the sky to the scorching sun, forced the rest of the minions out of the battlefield, and fought with them by flying horses in the air, and he faced off one-on-one with the Blue Pupil Corpse King.
"Although I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I still have to tell you that you have been used by the Nine Shadows." Yan Yunting's sword pointed at the Blue Pupil Corpse King.
The Blue-Pupiled Corpse King only shook his head and said, "We have no choice. He took out a vial and poured a mouthful of blood-like secret medicine, and his rotten body began to grow flesh, bursting out with an astonishing resentful aura, his ice-blue pupils were covered in blood, and he roared again:
"We had no choice! Only killing can redeem oneself! ”
"Hmph, ridiculous!"
Yan Yunting then raised the sword of soul suppression, and killed the corpse king with a sword.
The Corpse King had both hands in the sky, and he actually resisted this sword!
The sword qi is like silk, cutting off its flesh and bones, but in the next breath, the flesh and blood are restored again, endless, immortal and indestructible.
Yan Yunting didn't use the dragon crystal to kill the enemy in time, because anything that suddenly swelled must have drawbacks. It is impossible for this corpse king to burst out with such strength all the time.
In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate in the air for a quarter of an hour, and the healing speed of the corpse king's body was obviously attenuated, Yan Yunting gathered the true qi of his whole body, increased the sword qi around him, and soon cut the corpse king's body into white bones!
The red pupils gradually disappeared and turned back to icy blue pupils.
"Poor and hateful thing."
Yan Yunting shook his head, and threw the dragon crystal while collecting his sword!
The dragon crystal stabbed into the chest of the Corpse King with unmistakable precision, and in an unwilling roar, the Corpse King turned into flying ashes and dissipated with the wind.
Li Huai'an also mixed the dragon crystal in the ten thousand swords, and sent a fatal blow to the other corpse king, without any accident, the corpse king flew into ashes and annihilated.
The two corpse kings fell, and the undead legion blew the horn of retreat, and the tide of corpses quickly receded into the darkness, and soon disappeared into the wind and snow.
Yan Yunting collected his sword and fell back to the Egret Palace, only to fight with a sword, almost consuming seventy percent of his true qi: "If it turns into a corpse for a quarter of an hour, I may not be sure that I can kill it." ”
Li Huai'an frowned and descended from the sky: "It's hard to guarantee that the Immortal Monarch won't create a secret medicine that makes them last longer. ”
Yan Yunting sighed: "It would be nice if Old Man Tang and Yun Ying were here, even if they won this war by brute force alone, they wouldn't be able to win against the Ten Thousand Immortal Monarchs." ”
Yuwen Changqing said calmly: "It's just an evil person who is good at using vicious means, there is no need to worry too much, first win this game, and settle accounts after the autumn, it won't be too long." ”
……
In the first defense battle, a total of nearly 80,000 poisonous corpses and corpse beasts were killed, and only more than 100 people were killed or wounded, which can be described as an overwhelming victory.
At dawn, the Blue Sand Set and the Three Star Sets also came with good news, annihilating 60,000 and 90,000 undead respectively, and the casualties never exceeded 500.
Yuwen Changqing ordered, sorted out the poisonous corpses in the trap, continued to arrange minefields, closely reconnoitred and communicated, and all defenses remained the same to meet the next wave of attacks.
In the next half month, there will be bad news and good news.
The bad news is that the siege of the undead legion has become more and more fierce each time, from more than 200,000 at the beginning, to more than 500,000 in vain.
No matter how sophisticated the tactics are, they can't stand the large number of people, the casualties of the brute soldiers are increasing, the fire velvet fruit has been exhausted, and without the weakening of explosives, it is easier for the corpse tide to rush through the trap defense line.
The nerves of each brute soldier remained highly tense, and the original fierce fighting spirit was also diminished in the battles again and again.
The good news is that the blizzard has been significantly reduced, so that the main force will advance more easily, and the news from the rear that the 1 million army is less than 20,000 miles away from the Huaxu border, and at this rate, the vanguard cavalry led by Shang He can arrive in five days, and the arrival of the large army in Huaxu will not exceed ten days at most.
"Pass my order to send 5,000 jars of good wine to Lansha and Sanxingji, reward them to the brave and good soldiers, and tell them that if they hold on for another five days and nights, our army will win."
For the brute soldiers, as long as they are given three points of drunkenness, they can improve their morale, so in the past half a month, Yuwen Changqing has divided a thousand catties of velvet fruit, and if nothing else, he will come to make wine!
Day 18.
The battle situation began to become a little abnormal, the tactics of the undead army in the past, attacking during the day, attacking at night, and attacking a small attack every three days, and a major attack in five days.
Today, however, it seems very calm, and there is not even a shadow of a poisonous corpse that is being investigated.
On the eve of a storm, it is always very calm.
In front of the Egret Palace, boiler bowls and chopsticks, hot pot.
"Fairy Su Yue, you are recovering from a serious injury, you should eat more to replenish your body." Yan Yunting sandwiched a slice of beef and threw it into Su Yue's bowl.
Su Yue stared at the beef in the bowl, and then looked at the three men talking and laughing at the table, and was really a little puzzled: "Don't you feel strange?" ”
Yuwen Changqing took a sip of the liquor and asked with a smile: "What does the fairy think is abnormal?" ”
"In the past half a month, the undead have been defeated repeatedly, and there must have been a lot of anger in the backlog, and they are likely to take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack...... The decisive battle is likely to come! Su Yue's delicate facial features were all coming together, "There were 500,000 poisonous corpses in the last attack, and they almost didn't enter the market town, if they add more troops this time, how can we parry it?" ”
"If they divide a million troops to attack us, then the pressure on the Glass Palace will be much less, and you should be happy." Yan Yunting picked up another piece of beef and threw it into Su Yue's bowl:
"Eat, when you're full, this battle might be over."
Su Yue questioned, "Really? ”
Yan Yunting nodded: "We never lie to women with big breasts. ”
Su Yue wrapped her clothes, glared at the three laughing men angrily, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat.
Before you know it, it's getting late.
"Knock, knock, knock......" the earth roared, trembling slightly.
"They're coming!" Su Yue got up and looked forward nervously.
The rolling corpse tide, black and overwhelming, covering the ice and snow land, even if there are not a hundred, there are 800,000.
