Chapter 203: The Battle of the Valley Pass (1)
It has reached the end of autumn in northern Xinjiang, but it has unusually heavy rain, and the intermittent heavy rain for several days has washed away the official road, making it even more difficult for the people of Yong'an City, who were originally very slow to evacuate, to move an inch at this moment.
Three or four hundred thousand people braved the pouring rain and were trapped on the official road, and the scene was extremely chaotic, and if the people could not evacuate quickly, it meant that those guarding the valley pass could not fight and retreat, but could only defend to the end.
Huge valley pass, there is hardly that army in the world can break through it, it is built according to the mountain, along the mountain undulations on both sides to build the city wall of more than three zhang high, the main pass of the valley pass is 11 zhang high, the middle gate floor is nine rooms wide, eighteen zhang, five rooms deep, seven zhang.
There is a huge urn city in front of the pass, the arrow tower is lined up, the female wall is solid, the city gate is wide, standing in front of the huge valley pass, often makes people have a feeling of self-insignificance, since the moment the valley pass was built, it stands there, no one has ever been able to successfully pass it.
And at this moment, it will usher in an unprecedented enemy, a group of immortal and immortal evil beasts, into the night, the autumn rain is getting heavier and heavier, and all the soldiers of the entire valley pass are waiting for it.
And as far as the eye can see, more than ten miles away, a gray object is moving rapidly towards this side, and the terrifying evil spirits and evil beasts are perfectly integrated with the night, only their green eyes are particularly eye-catching in the night!
Slowly, this little bit of green light came more and more clearly, more and more dense, and the rumbling sound came overwhelmingly, and after half an hour, the dense green light was completely connected.
This piece of green light is like a piece of green giant cloth, spread on the ground, stretching out into the distance endlessly, standing on the arrow tower of the lookout soldiers, looking far away, can not see the end of this green light.
How many evil spirits and evil beasts are there? How many evil thoughts have turned into such overwhelming, ruthless and endless evil spirits and evil beasts?
For the first time, the battle-hardened generals frowned, and for the first time, a trace of fear floated in the hearts of the bloodthirsty and warlike soldiers, and the rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, surging towards the valley pass with a powerful and incomparably strong oppressive force.
Just when the soldiers' hearts were a little shaken, there was a loud bang on the platform, and the roaring war drums resounded through the valley, and the soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time immediately became enthusiastic when they heard the sound of war drums.
Finally, the vanguard of the evil beast army arrived in front of the valley pass, and it was unbelievable that this group of bloodthirsty and murderous evil beasts actually stood neatly in front of the pass, watching the situation on the pass.
The continuous roar of the tiger wolf resounded in front of the pass, and above the city tower, Daoist Xuanlin frowned, and said incredulously: "This is impossible, these countless tiger wolf evil beasts seem to be controlled by someone, just like having a mind, who can have such a great ability?"
General Wang Chen looked at Xuanlin Daoist with a deep face, and a command flag was played, and the war drums on the stage played a specific drum rhythm, conveying the general's military order to the soldiers defending the city.
The 10,000 archers in the urn and behind the female walls of the city walls immediately bent their bows and prepared for a salvo.
The faint green light that can not be seen at a glance extends backwards from the gate like a ghost fire, which is no longer the number of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands that can be described, the terrifying tiger and wolf-shaped evil spirits and evil beasts seem to be endless, and there are roars everywhere in the mountains and fields, and there are faint green lights everywhere.
Suddenly, a deafening roar mixed with the sound of rain resounded in the sky, and the tiger and wolf beast seemed to have received an order to attack, roaring and suddenly bursting out, and rushed towards the valley pass.
At this moment, a rocket shot violently into the sky, tens of thousands of bowstrings made a "boom" sound, and the flying arrows in the sky tore through the rain curtain and shot down towards the front of the pass, and suddenly formed a barrier composed of a rain of arrows one or two hundred steps away in front of the pass.
In the dark night, a rain of golden arrows poured down, and the front of the valley suddenly roared again and again, and the evil beast that was shot by the golden arrows screamed miserably, turned into black gas, and disappeared.
The drum beat on the platform changed suddenly, and with a bang, behind the valley pass, the hard crossbow phalanx began to fire, and the huge dense arrow curtain even blocked the dripping raindrops.
The four or five thousand martial arts people hidden in the Tibetan military building were incorporated into the infantry phalanx, and at this moment they looked at the orderly, the rain of arrows flying in the sky, they were all amazed, these people were in the rivers and lakes, most of them were inevitably fighting and killing, although the attacks and killings between the various sects on the rivers and lakes were also extremely tragic, compared with the formation of today's army, it was simply not worth mentioning.
In this sea of arrows, no matter how high your martial arts are, no matter how deep your cultivation is, it is only a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning, the powerful arrow rain blocked the attack of most of the evil beasts, and some of the evil beasts that survived the arrow rain and rushed to the city were fiercely shot by the archers on the wall platform.
General Wang Chen sat on the platform, smiled slightly, and said: "Although the tiger power is a catastrophe, it is a monesticized beast after all, how can it compete with my army?"
The Daoist Xuanlin next to him frowned, shook his head and said: "General, don't take it lightly, I think this group of evil beasts is controlled by someone, and they are not ordinary brainless evil spirits!"
As soon as Xuanlin's long voice fell, he heard a different scream coming from the night, and the tiger and wolf evil spirits that were attacking head-on suddenly divided into two ways, looking for the weak spot of the arrow rain on both sides and rushed over.
The war drums sounded rapidly, and the archers adjusted their positions in time to block the way of the evil spirits that came in a roundabout way, but in this way, the pressure of rushing to kill the evil beasts head-on was relieved, and the numerical advantage of the evil spirits and evil beasts all over the mountains was immediately revealed.
Suddenly, as if the river burst its embankment, the overwhelming evil spirits and demon beasts broke through the barrier formed by the rain of arrows like a flood, and the next moment, only to hear a loud bang, the tiger wolf evil spirit crashed into the city wall.
These tiger wolf evil spirits had no pain, no fear, and desperately crawled towards the top of the high city wall along the root of the city wall, and in an instant, countless tiger wolf evil beasts piled up into a small protrusion the size of a mountain of earth at the root of the city wall like a stack of arhats, and countless evil beasts climbed each other's bodies, desperately crawling towards the top of the city wall.
The military advisor pointed to the city wall and said loudly: "General, the evil beasts are divided into three teams to attack the city, and enough evil beasts have gathered under the city walls, and it doesn't make much sense for our archers to fire another volley at this moment!"
General Wang Chen stood up and said, "The evil beast wants to disperse my forces defending the city, so that the archers will shoot at the root of the city, and the shield soldiers and foot soldiers will be ready!"
The huge herald drum sounded, and the archers in the wall platform turned to shoot the tigers, wolves, and evil beasts at the base of the city wall, and the archers in each wall platform were in place, and the two thousand five hundred archers in each city platform fired a volley, and most of the evil beasts under the wall were killed in an instant.
Suddenly like a small mountain, the tiger wolf evil beast that was about to climb the city wall collapsed violently, but there were too many tiger and wolf evil beasts all over the mountain, and they were not afraid of death, and every evil beast shot to death was ten, and the white one pounced again.
And this group of evil beasts does not seem to have the slightest fear, if the defenders of the city are against ordinary soldiers, the casualties of the other side are too large, or when the defense of our side is too strong, and the companions around them are killed, etc., they will be slightly weaker or even disintegrate the will of the siege soldiers.
But now, the soldiers defending the city are facing an evil beast that has no human feelings and no sense of fear, and no matter how much you kill and injure the other party, the overwhelming evil beasts will come up one after another.
And at this moment, a team of tigers, wolves and evil beasts rushed out of a bloody road in the middle, and frantically rushed to the gate of the urn city, five hundred shrewd people in the gate held spears and shields, desperately resisting the city gate, only to hear a loud "bang", a group of tigers, wolves and evil beasts slammed into the city gate.
I saw that they couldn't stop stretching out their sharp teeth to bite the city gate, sharp front claws, extremely crazy to grasp the city gate, the old city gate is made of iron birch wood that is as hard as iron, in order to prevent fire and knife cutting, it is also wrapped in a thick layer of iron plate outside, and it is stared at with thick copper nails.
But even such a hard city gate was destroyed by this group of tigers, wolves and evil beasts in an instant, and the hundreds of elite soldiers guarding the city gate were struggling to resist through the holes in the city gate, or arrows, or stabs.
With the bow and arrow salvo weakening, more evil beasts poured under the walls of the urn city, and at first there were only three teams of tigers, wolves, and evil beasts attacking the city walls, but now they suddenly increased to six teams.
The bloodthirsty tigers and wolves attacked the city in a desperate and frantic manner, and the shield soldiers on the city walls were ready to fight, and the archers inside the wall platform fought hard to shoot the evil beasts that climbed the city walls.
Under the uninterrupted impact of the tiger wolf evil beasts who were not afraid of life and death, a few tiger wolf evil beasts finally jumped onto the city wall!
