Chapter 31: The Snow Stops
The successive losses of the second and first barriers made the pressure on the third barrier increase sharply, and at this bloody dawn with constant shouts of killing, thousands of Heavenly Army demon soldiers gathered in front of them, and they continued to collide with the icy cold wall as if they were crazy.
Flying, oil, crossbows, Shen Jin almost exhausted all defensive means, but he could only watch the walls being torn off layer by layer and rising layer by layer, and each layer of newly generated walls was smaller than the original one by a few feet, and when the cold sunlight illuminated the entire Luoyang City, dozens of defenders of the third barrier were compressed into a narrow range of less than a hundred paces, and could only resist with short crossbows and spears in the walls and broken rubble of the palace city.
The only good news is that the snow is bigger, which undoubtedly helps to cast the Ice Spirit, and the leader of the Mang warriors who has been left here has a mouthful of exotic names, which is simply put, and everyone calls him Asuo. He was a sturdy man who looked no more than thirty years old, eight feet tall, with a yellowish beard and curly beard, blue eyes, and a man who had learned from the Xianbei to tie his hair into drooping dreadlocks. He was originally a Longwei of the Mang clan, but in the Central Plains, his identity is the slaughtering master of the Ashan family's barbecue, fortunately, there is no conflict in this identity, killing demons is sometimes the same as killing sheep, looking at the parts, and with a knife, they will splash out of Lao Gao's blood, and then twitch their legs and feet in the humming and gradually losing their breath.
However, the current situation makes Ah Suo unable to use his amazing sword technique, after all, there are relatively few Mang clansmen left here, and the number of demons who launched the onslaught is really too much, face-to-face battles, even if it is a casualty ratio of ten for one, it is not cost-effective for them, this is different from Ah Shan, who is too brave and ruthless, so after this whole night, none of the twenty Mang clansmen here were killed, they all lay behind the wall with Ah Suo, and did their best to turn the ice and snow into a strong ice and cold wall power, and then pumped the cold to the approaching demon soldiers, this method is very effective, at least two hundred corpses of demon soldiers were left in front of the protective wall.
When he felt the dissipation of the other two icy cold walls in the distance, Ah Suo's heart was gloomy for a while, he did not have the ability of the leader Ah Xia to perceive the breath of the clan, but he also knew that the clansmen who stayed there must be fierce and auspicious, eighty heroes, including Ah Shan and Ah Ji, who were the same as himself, but now is by no means the time to mourn and mourn, the reinforcements of the Demon Dao do not know when they will arrive, and Elder Liao Miao and the follow-up clansmen will have to travel through such a long distance, and the pace of death will come faster than them.
However, even if he dies, he will have to make these devils of the demon mountain clan pay more price, Asuo felt that he was not afraid at all, and couldn't help but look at Shen Jin and Alemin who were calmly fighting in the rain of arrows, they went out again, Asuo saw Shen Jin close to the edge of the wall, like an alert cheetah approaching the prey, and slashed the huge iron sword, and a demon soldier who struggled to hit the wall fell in response. And on the other side, a demon soldier with a different head, almost at the same time fell to the ground, no need to look, Asso also knew that this was Alemin's masterpiece, this is a very interesting two people, from the night they seem to be strong, no one is willing to kill one less demon than the other party, and their giant swords and scimitars do have extraordinary combat power, each of them killed no less than twenty demon soldiers, if they were also trained in the Mang clan since childhood, then maybe they are also qualified to enter the ranks of the dragon guard.
"Whoosh", several short crossbows pierced the parapet with silver light, nailed to the head of a loud roaring, vicious-looking demon soldier, watching him fall on his back, Aso realized that there was still an excellent warrior here.
Li Fei Fuxi quickly dodged behind the root of the wall, avoiding the fierce spear shooting outside the wall, but poked his head out from the side of the wall, the crossbow machine in his hand had been wound, and several short crossbows shot back.
Li Fei Xi didn't have the iron thistle terrestris as a secret weapon, but she mastered the Jin crossbow machine very quickly, I don't know if it was the blood of Alemin that worked, or the spirit of the icy cold wall attached an extra ability to her, she quickly got rid of the initial nervous mood, as if she had long been accustomed to human battles, that kind of thing hit her own crossbow arrow, and she would also die.
......
Zhenshanjun rode on the golden-eyed beast, looking at the resistance of the defenders in the wall with deep eyes, and beside him was Jue Xiao, because one rode and one walked, it seemed that there was a significant difference in height between the two, and Jue Xiao was a head shorter than Zhenshan Jun.
Now, having each conquered the barriers, they have joined forces.
"Who is leading the troops in the inner city?" Zhenshanjun could sense that in the battle of the fourth barrier, the attacking demon soldiers were obviously at a disadvantage, which was not good news.
Ji Xiao knew it in his heart, but he still pretended to think about it for a while before he replied: "It's my vanguard deputy Fengqi, who led two hundred people to fight hard there. Are we ...... Dial the heavenly army to help again?"
"I changed my mind. Zhenshanjun shook his hand, "They divided their troops everywhere, that is to weaken their own strength, the reason why this is so is obviously to delay our attack, if I also divide my troops to attack, wouldn't I fall into their trap?"
Even if you weaken your own strength, you and I have to work hard to take those two places? Jie Xiao muttered to himself in his heart, but he pretended to be humbly seeking advice: "What does Shanjun mean ......"
"I have decided to concentrate my forces and uproot these stubborn ones one by one, and that they will divide their forces, and we will work together, and the disparity will be even greater, and it will be resolved soon. ā
"But......" Jie Xiao looked up at the hazy sky covered with wind and snow, and his snort swept away the flying snowflakes, "...... Didn't the mountain monarch find out? The ice spirit technique they made seemed to be in conjunction with this ghost weather, and now the snow is heavier, and the time for the sons to break through the shield is getting longer and longer, although the bottom can be broken by force, but it will increase casualties, and it seems that it is not good for the future. ā
As he spoke, another silver blade containing the aura of the ice spirit came out through the wall, cutting down several demon soldiers.
"Do you want me to wait for this heavy snow to stop before attacking?" Zhenshanjun snorted.
"No, I think you can cast a spell to blow away the snow clouds, and see that the momentum of the ice and snow is small, and it's not too late to take it in one fell swoop. ā
Zhen Shanjun turned his head sideways and thought for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Good idea!
......
Taking advantage of the weather is the best policy, but this is a war of demons, so there are all kinds of unreasonable and incredible situations, the wind and lead clouds, in order to block the snow, it is possible with the cooperation of the demon army.
The wind is raging, the sun and the moon are not shining, moving mountains and seas, covering the rain and turning the clouds, this is the scene of the demon magic, now more than a thousand demon troops who are good at transporting the wind are making a gesture, and in an instant the demon wind is overwhelming, whistling and circling in the sky above, and the heavy dark clouds gradually form a whirlpool, which actually sucks the flying snow into one after another.
The demon's approach temporarily halted the battle in front of the wall, and the defenders looked up at the sky in all sorts of colors, especially for the mortal soldiers who were just starting to come into contact with the demons, they could be regarded as truly seeing the power of demonic magic.
"General!" said Shen Jin with a heavy face, "You should go!"
"Why?" Shen Jin lowered his neck and looked into the distance, his face surprised.
"These demons have seen through the trick of the Ice Spirit Cold Wall, the snow is born from the clouds, they are blowing away the snow clouds, our Ice Spirit Cold Wall will not last long, and if the Ice Spirit Cold Wall is lost, your resistance will be useless, you must go, there is no need to die in vain!" Ah Suo watched the changes in the clouds, his brows furrowed, "Go to Mr. Qian, they have other ways to protect you, and they can let you play more." ā
"Then let's go together and meet Mr. Qian and the eldest sister. Shen Jin proposed to Asso to build yƬ.
"If we go with you, who will stop these devils' pursuers?" Aso's tone was unusually sure, "Don't forget, our tactic is to hold out as long as we can, waiting for backup to arrive. Go, you know the roads in the city better than I do, and you naturally have a way to get to them, so you won't say goodbye. The tone suddenly raised, which was shouting to the other strong men of the Mang clan: "The old clan stays behind and waits for the enemy!"
"The old clan can fight!" the small number of strong men of the Mang clan shouted this sentence impassionedly.
Shen Jin bowed to Asuo silently, there was not much tenderness in the farewell on the battlefield, everyone performed their own duties, each had their own life, now it was you, and soon it would be me, Shen Jin thought that he used the fastest speed to gather the remaining troops of less than twenty people, and in the howling wind outside the protective wall, he gave the order to withdraw.
"The southern dreadlocks are afraid of death and leave, and the warriors of Xianbei will not go!" Allemin, squinting his eyes and disdainful in his disdainful tone.
"You said you obeyed my commands. Shen Jin said in a deep voice, "You just heard the hero of the Mang clan say that it won't last long here, and we need to go to the next barrier to continue to hold them back." ā
"I hate to run away like a coward!" Allemin's scimitar still had undried blood stains on it, and it smelled of demonic fish.
"It's true to say that you are barbarians!" Shen Jin scolded angrily, as if he felt that he shouldn't say that, and lowered his voice again, "I have to admit that you did a good job this night, and you are a good man! In this case, don't be in a hurry to throw away your life, and live a little longer to try to kill a few more demons, isn't it better? This is not an escape, this is to fight for a longer time." ā
Seeing that Alemin showed hesitation, Shen Jin's tone softened: "Please come with me." ā
Alemin laughed, Shen Jin patted him on the shoulder for the first time like a comrade-in-arms, and then turned his head sideways to Lifei Fuxi, who had been listening quietly by his side, and said, "You are also together, I need someone like you who can kill demons." ā
......
When passing by the strong men of the Mang clan who were operating the mechanism behind the wall and concentrating on the Fa, Aleminin stopped and bowed with the etiquette of a Xianbei nobleman: "It's an honor to fight side by side with you. ā
"The old clan is also honored to be with the warriors of the world. Asso and all the warriors of the Mang clan waved at them, their last smiles blooming.
......
The wind stopped and the snow stopped, the killing sound restarted, losing the power of the ice and snow concealment, the ice spirit cold wall was broken layer by layer, and the time to regenerate was greatly slowed down, and when the dense demon soldiers broke through the last wall, Aso raised his knife and roared:
"The old clan can fight!"
It's like the tide flooding the shallows in an instant, and when it recedes, only scattered floating algae and fine particles remain.
......
With the freshly printed knife marks on his face, Zhenshanjun raised Asuo's head, causing a cheer from the demons to resound through the sky, and the bodies of the strong men were torn apart, and the bleak cold wind played a sad elegy.
The third barrier fell at noon, and the Flyshan Heavenly Army's troops were heading, and it would be the last barrier to the inner city set.
ā»ā»ā»
Feng Qi was seriously injured, and the number of demon troops here was not much, but the opponents he faced were all strong demon warriors, so for a long time after that, the demon army's attack on the wall was more of a side attack of the nature of attack, but it also firmly contained this defender.
The dissipation of the snow clouds in the sky also had an impact here, but behind the icy cold wall, there was also a layer of demonic qi wall cast by the Qianjia Demon Slayer, and when the demon army's attack was not strong, at least it gave Qianchong and Ah Xia time to talk.
"The first two barriers have been lost, the third barrier is in danger, the old clan has suffered casualties, and the demons have found the most direct way to break the ice and cold wall, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive today. Ah Xia's face was gloomy, a total of one hundred warriors of the Ice Flame Old Clan had been arranged in the first three barriers, and none of them were destined to survive, and now there were only thirteen people here, this was the last thirteen people of the Mang Clan in the Central Plains.
The effectiveness of the Beidou letter lamp has disappeared one by one in the early hours of the morning, and when the reinforcements will come, it is only up to fate.
Qian Chong looked at Qi Wenyu: "Senior Brother Qi, you are the only one among us who is good at the Qi Suppression Technique, I'm afraid I will have to bother you, so I will go to Mr. Xu Da of Buxiu Mountain to urge you." ā
"If Master Xu sees the news of the letter, he must already be on his way, so why do you need me to do more? I will stay here, one more person and one more force, and let me avenge Senior Brother Xue. Qi Wenyu's expression was sad, and Xue Yang's body was placed in the house in the back street, just like a peaceful sleep, and he was still there without food.
"When will Master Xu arrive!" Ji Rui punched the earthen wall as if venting, and did not mention Xue Yang's death in battle, but the grief in his heart was self-evident.
Qianchong looked at the sky helplessly, the demon wind blew away the snow clouds, but the sky was still dark, the snow had stopped, and a chill penetrated through the iron armor and drilled straight into the bones.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, his body stood up, his actions attracted everyone's attention, and as he looked at it, he saw the scene of the Big Dipper rising in the southeast direction.
"It's the response! It's the allies who are responding to us!"
