Chapter 189: Negotiations Before the Battle
Night general Zhao Xuewen had actually seen Ling Xiao's existence a long time ago, after all, their goal was to kill Ling Xiao, and he also recognized this figure who had stirred up storms in the territory of the Fearless Empire, but he didn't dare to just step forward to ask for help.
Zhao Xuewen's mood is contradictory, on the one hand, with his understanding of the top level of the Dreadnought Empire, especially this little spear god, even if the criminals can complete the task of killing Ling Xiao, they will definitely not get the reward of ten taels of gold, let alone return to freedom, so at the beginning of the attack, he and Zhang Yunlan constantly sought opportunities to escape, but on the battlefield, they were either soldiers of the coalition army or soldiers of the Dreadnought Empire, how could they have a chance to escape.
On the other hand, helping Ling Xiao at the beginning was also the need of the Sword of Freedom itself, and now whether Ling Xiao will help them is still between the two sides, after all, the two countries are at war, and there are too many things involved. So not only can you not come forward to ask for help, but you also have to hide your body as much as possible, so that you can't be noticed by Ling Xiao.
However, as the night general Zhao Xuewen, who is a big man in the underground world, although he was arrested this time, although he did not expose the true identity of the Sword of Freedom, he was also recognized by a considerable number of criminals, and in a desperate situation, it should be right to follow this big man. That's why there is such a group of strange-acting people among the criminals, so Ling Xiao will notice the existence of the two.
In fact, if it weren't for the troubled waters of these more than 40 people, Ling Xiao would not have been able to continue to support it, but it was the existence of these more than 40 people that blocked Ling Xiao's breakthrough route, or if it weren't for these more than 40 people, the drunken Daoist and Peaches would not have been supported as hard as they are now, and the sword path would have been released a lot.
The rain of arrows in his hands did not stop, and there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, and in the end, Ling Xiao still decided to make contact with the night general, but of course he couldn't go over, and he couldn't protect anyone in that group of people from being ruthless, and it was really possible to fall into it, and his cultivation was extremely high. Drunken talents from all over the world are the best candidates.
After hearing Ling Xiao's whimsical idea, the drunken Taoist who was already not surprised was shocked again, and when he negotiated with the enemy on the battlefield, it was still a matter of cooperation. Fortunately, recently, drunken Daoists have gradually begun to accept Ling Xiao's whimsy, otherwise they would definitely not say a word, and spit on his face first.
The negotiation process was extremely smooth, so that the drunken Taoist had to be a little suspicious, and he didn't understand when this kid had hooked up with someone from the Dreadnought Empire. And the information about the success of the negotiation also made Ling Xiao's eyes shine, and according to the agreement, he deliberately prepared and shouted. "Cloud piercing arrows!" followed by more than 50 arrows in succession, of course, among the more than 50 arrows, the real attack on the enemy was only Liao Liao's two or three arrows, and the rest were all props for play, so it was up to the night general to see if the group of people could not get on the road.
In fact, for this performance, Ling Xiao also put in a lot of strength, not to mention the light of spiritual power, and forced sweat from his head, and immediately fell from the boulder after the attack, if it wasn't for the peach to catch it. Ling Xiao even wanted to throw out some blood or something.
And this group of arrows has just been shot, but Zhao Xuewen, the night general who has been paddling, shouted as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, "Be careful." This arrow can't be caught!" said that he couldn't catch it, but he pushed away the crowd and greeted him straight, and when the two touched, Zhao Xuewen just shouted. "What a powerful arrow!" fell to the ground, motionless.
As for the rest, there are those who have learned the same. The "middle arrow" fell to the ground, and what I didn't understand was confused, and I didn't understand the difference between this arrow and the one just now, and it wasn't the same that it could be blocked with a knife. As for the clever ghost Zhang Yunlan, he was exaggeratedly taken out by the arrows that hit him more than ten meters away, and finally he was hung on the stone wall by the arrows.
Only this "attack", no less than forty people fell in the camp of criminals, and the encirclement was immediately loosened, and Ling Xiao, who was "weak and fell to the ground", also struggled to stand up again and continued to shoot with a bow, but everyone could see that this was just a reluctant effort.
It's a pity that the most blinding thing is precisely what is seen in the eyes, after shooting a few "weak" arrows, the cold light in Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and the frequency and speed of shooting were accelerated, and more than thirty twisted arrows were almost scattered in five breaths, and the remaining sinners knew the secret, and they were suddenly shot into a scream, and the swords of the drunken Taoist and the peach also shone brightly at this time, and the killing was opened, and another group of sinners fell to the ground.
At this point, the attack group of criminals was completely defeated, and the only two remaining people saw that there was no way to live, so they turned back and fled to the rear very simply, but what was waiting in the rear was the little spear god's angry slashing order.
No one noticed that with the deliberate help of the drunken Taoist, the forty people who died under the cloud-piercing arrow moved their bodies one by one and left the battlefield, but the most unlucky thing was Zhang Yunlan, who was hanging on the stone wall.
In fact, helping the Sword of Freedom escape is also a win-win good thing, that is, helping allies and going to the enemy, otherwise, the criminals are really likely to kill Ling Xiao on the spot.
After Ling Xiao, who was actually seeing off the sword of freedom, he returned to the battlefield again, only to find that there was an extremely strange calm in the passage at this time, if it weren't for the stump and broken leg on the ground, if it wasn't for the abandoned sword in the pool of blood, I really couldn't see that this was a battlefield.
Under Yu Wentong's explanation, Ling Xiao knew that since the defeat of the criminal camp, the Fearless Empire's side had suspended its attack, and now he didn't know what the hell was going on, and it had been almost half an hour since the battle stopped.
Ling Xiao did not have the slightest way to deal with this situation, forcibly attacking would only increase his own casualties, and it was impossible for the scouts to go out to reconnoiter at all to get close to the core of the opponent, and they could only change with the same and wait for the arrival of the big war.
The situation on the other side is unknown, but it is certain that once it is launched, it will inevitably be a battle to the death, and there will be no time to rest, so the cavalry began to pack their bags, replenish their consumption, eat a little dry food, and drink a few sips of water. The calm ones quietly wiped their weapons, and the frizzy ones kept walking around, but everyone had a thought in their hearts that they must not let the enemy out of the passage.
After several battles, the casualties of the Dreadnought Empire plus the vanguard that was wiped out in the encirclement outside the passage had exceeded 10,000 people, and the cavalry of the coalition army had less than 6,000 troops left, but these 6,000 people were elite soldiers tempered from blood and fire, they had seen the cruelty of the battlefield, they had seen the sacrifice of their comrades, they understood the belief of their fathers, and they also understood their own responsibilities. Although there is still a trace of immaturity that belongs to young people on his face, it is more of an iron-blooded pride that belongs to a warrior.
The battle of the other passages is still fierce, including the blue and gold passage, none of the passages have been breached, but none of the passages can achieve complete victory, and they are basically in a state of entanglement, which also shows that the main force of the Dreadnought Empire must be on the opposite side, and this seventh passage is the center of gravity in the entire battlefield.
In fact, the little spear god at this time was also in a contradiction, the distance was too far, and he didn't know what the reason for the defeat of the criminal camp was. It's just that Ling Xiao's force is extremely strong. And the defeat of the criminal camp also made the little gun god realize the difficulty of this battle, and now there are only two ways, one is to temporarily retreat, looking for a better opportunity or looking for a way to crack the sky-shaking arrow, and the other is to use troops in exchange for victory regardless of life and death, regardless of casualties.
It's just that neither of these methods can satisfy the little spear god, and if he retreats, the pre-war rhetoric will become empty words. This will have a great impact on his impression in the mind of the Spear God, and if he rushes forward, to be honest, the little Spear God is not sure that he will still have the strength to continue to fight Long Yunzhai after rushing out of the passage.
In the handsome tent, generals from all walks of life are expressing their own views. It's just that there is no unanimous opinion at all, and after listening carefully a little, the little spear god found that these people were simply perfunctory, and his heart was angry. Make up your mind and fight first.
The drums of war of the Dreadnought Empire sounded, and another wave of attacks began. It's a pity that the little spear god in anger doesn't understand that after such a precious period of rest, the previous efforts are basically in vain, and the coalition soldiers who have recovered their body and energy are waiting for them.
What made Ling Xiao cry and laugh was that the fearless imperial soldiers in the attack were all covered with strips, obviously to guard against his sky-shaking arrows, to be honest, such simple protective measures did have a certain effect, but the effect was not too great, as long as they were closer, the sky-shaking arrows could still play a role, and through a lot of practice, Ling Xiao also began to gradually figure out the use of the sky-shaking arrows, although he could not fully grasp it, but it was already possible to launch a sonic attack outside a certain range.
However, to Ling Xiao's surprise, although the Sky Shaking Arrow still exerted terrifying power, the Dreadnought Empire didn't care about this at all, and as the Sky Shaking Arrow continued to shoot, some soldiers who had been shattered or deaf were no longer affected.
The two sides fought almost in a beastly manner, the sword was broken, and it was thrown at the enemy, and the bare-handed ones were bitten with their teeth and hit their heads with their heads, in short, it was rare to find a few normal human beings on the entire battlefield.
The waves of impact were endless, and the dead soldiers had no time to move away, and a hill had already formed at the entrance of the passage, and the two sides of the battle were basically stepping on the corpses of their comrades.
With the advantage of terrain, the advantage of the defender, and the help of the Sky Shaking Arrow, the battle damage of the coalition side can often reach the result of one person for five, which is a rare victory in sniper warfare in the general war, but it is still not enough in front of you.
Although the coalition cavalry killed more enemies, their own casualties were also expanding, the number dropped from 6,000 to 5,000, and it was just an hour of effort from 5,000 to less than 4,000, not counting the more and more wounded soldiers.
It's just that what they paid did not pay for victory, and looking out, the soldiers of the Dreadnought Empire were still surging forward in waves, baring their teeth like wolves in the wasteland, staring at blood-red eyes, looking for an opportunity to take a bite.
From passion to despair, from despair to numbness, even the old general Yuwentong has been wounded several times, but his bloodstained body is still standing firmly on the battlefield.
Ling Xiao's hands were already drenched in blood, constantly firing the bow and shooting, and the frequent opening and closing of the spiritual power strings made the fingers of both hands bear great damage, but seeing that everyone was fighting, his sky-shaking arrow was the only arrow skill that could provide great help, how could he stop.
Almost all of them had reached their limit, even the most profound Drunken Dao people were constantly panting, and those young disciples of the Sword Sect were even more scarred, if it weren't for the determination of young people not to admit defeat supporting them, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago.
Basically, it is the last moment, if the formation collapses at this time, the results of a full day's hard fighting are about to be wasted, the old general Yuwentong frowned stiffly, and suddenly made up his mind! (To be continued......
