Chapter 694: The Final Battle (11)
Now that the strategy of breaking through the tiger's mouth has been decided, the whole thing has been quickly arranged and entered the level of execution.
After all, they all know very well that their side is now gaining momentum and being sharp, and if it drags on for a long time in this small tiger's mouth, that momentum will probably decline, which is not a good thing. What's more, they didn't want to give the Soul Devouring Realm side too much time to send reinforcements to Hukou, and they didn't think that Hukou was a suitable place to set up camp.
So only less than three hours later, Xuanwu, Hu Zi, Zhang Tao, Donghuang Yu'er, Jiumeng and so on were united by the ten masters under their command, leading 30,000 people, and drove to the tiger's mouth with great momentum, with a strong formation and although there were few, but all powerful weapons, they once again charged towards the mountain of the tiger's mouth.
The cultivation of the masters at this level of Xuanwu is really amazing, even if you look at the Three Realms, they are definitely the masters of the masters, and there are not many people who can fight with them. And the combination of ten such masters, coupled with the powerful 30,000 elites, high-grade formations and equipment, and the combat strategy set by Fu Tian himself, it is difficult to find troops who can still resist.
If you want to say that the biggest flaw in sending troops this time is the number of troops. 30,000 people are indeed a little less, but the tiger's mouth is too small, and sending more people is afraid that it will not work, but will squeeze and drag each other down and become a burden. This number is also the total number of people who are most suitable for fighting in the tiger's mouth after everyone's deliberation.
Come to think of it, the outcome of this battle should be soon. After all, Huan Yin's side was so well prepared and planned so thoroughly.
And so it was, and the battle lasted less than an hour before the results appeared. It's just that Xuanwu and they were defeated and returned, and they lost their troops and lost their generals!
This result was too unexpected, even if the people on Huan Yin's side thought that they might not be able to fight in one battle, they didn't expect that such a strong army would not even survive an hour in the tiger's mouth, so they retreated in embarrassment.
Everyone understood more and more deeply why Chiang and his Hell troops had suffered so many casualties in the tiger's mouth, and even Chiang had fallen there. Although Xuanwu was defeated in only one hour, it had a lot to do with their choice to withdraw on their own initiative, but their actual losses were not large. However, being able to make such an elite force decide to retreat after a short battle is enough to show how terrifying the Soul Devouring Realm monster in charge of the control of the tiger's mouth is.
And from this moment on, everyone finally realized that the small pass of the tiger's mouth was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and the Soul Devouring Realm was ready to seize this point and make a big fuss.
The defeated Xuanwu quickly counted the number of people, and finally determined that they were in the tiger's mouth, and in less than an hour, they lost 898 people. This number is naturally nothing for a total of 30,000 people, but in such a short period of time, it looks terrible in the case of active retreat. What's more, the equipment they brought with Xuanwu was also destroyed.
Xuanwu and the others carefully described to everyone how terrifying the monsters of the Soul Devouring Realm with their grips on their hands were.
It turned out that there were still a large number of Soul Devouring Realm monsters lurking near that dense forest. The weakest monsters in human form are everywhere, and there are no fewer trolls. Of course, in addition to monsters, there are also a lot of hidden means that they can't be guarded against. However, the most headache, and the one who finally made Xuanwu choose to withdraw on their own initiative, was the one-eyed and troll monster on the mountain.
The top of the hill is full of one-eyed, condescending green rays, which are simply impossible to guard. As long as someone on their side of Xuanwu enters the valley and tries to rush through the pass, they will directly become the target of those one-eyed people. Everyone knows that if you are hit by a green light, nothing good will happen.
With the one-eyed here, Xuanwu naturally wanted to try to pull out the one-eyed and sweep the mountain, so that they could successfully break through. However, the trolls next to One-Eyed are not vegetarians, they are extremely strong, and they are not those monsters that are ambushed around the dense forest. Not to mention how difficult it is to rush up the hill under the pressure of One-Eyed and the entanglement of the monsters around him. Even if you rush up, you have to ask the trolls on the hill if they say yes. Those troll Xuanwu personally fought against them, and found that it was not easy for him to even want to defeat them. Especially the one who took the lead, although he never made a move, Xuanwu obviously felt a strong pressure from him. Xuanwu can assert that he is no match for that troll!
Fortunately, this charge is not completely meaningless. Although they have fallen into majesty and lost their momentum, Xuanwu and they also know more about the situation in the valley and have a deeper grasp. These experiences are enough for them to learn a lesson and provide great help for the next charge.
Yes, the next charge is inevitable. If it doesn't work out next time, there will be a next time, and another time. Because breaking through the tiger's mouth and stepping into the south of the city, sweeping away the monsters in the soul devouring realm is the goal of this battle. If it stops, wouldn't it be tantamount to acquiescing in the fact that half of the Good Appearance Heaven is occupied by the monsters of the Spirit Devouring Realm?
In this way, after more careful planning and arrangement, Xuanwu and the others slowly brought more elite forces and once again launched an attack towards the tiger's mouth.
However, the second charge quickly failed. So there really was a third time, a fourth time.
Unknowingly, the large army under Huan Yin's command had spent a whole day in this small place in Hukou. During this day, the elite soldiers and strong generals launched a total of four attacks on the tiger's mouth, all of which ended in failure. Although the fourth time, because there was already a marshal who personally joined the battle regardless of his safety, in order to strengthen the force of the shock, he even really rushed over the hill at one point. But in the end, because a new force suddenly appeared on the side of the Soul Devouring Realm, the impact failed again.
After four impacts, Huan Yin lost a total of about 10,000 soldiers in one day, and all the losses were elite. Among them, Lao Xuanwu was even more injured because the impact was too fierce, and he could no longer go to the front line to kill the enemy for the time being.
Suddenly, among the troops under Huan Yin's command, even if the military discipline was strict, there were voices of discussion among the soldiers. Naturally, these discussions are not good, and although the major generals have tried their best to suppress this situation, they are also very clear that some things can be completely solved without force.
Obviously, because all of the four charges in a row failed, the morale of the army was a little unstable, and the momentum was even worse than before. So Donghuang Yu'er and Xuanwu also knew that at most one more charge, if they still couldn't succeed, then the whole army would have a big problem.
To make matters worse, the appearance of a new force from the Soul Eater Realm on the top of the hill during the fourth charge also showed that the Soul Eater Realm was reacting at the same time. Therefore, if the fifth charge still can't take the tiger's mouth, Huan's combat power will be greatly reduced due to the unstable hearts of the people, and the side of the Spirit Devouring Realm will have a stronger force to garrison the tiger's mouth. The tiger's mouth may become a moat in front of the large army, so that the troops on Huanyin's side can no longer cross it. Not to mention that saving the Heavenly Realm will fail, but the hope of ultimate victory will become more and more slim.
The fifth shock is the last. This time the charge cannot fail and is not allowed to fail, only succeed!
This last time, Huan Yin's side can be said to have all been let go. In terms of the strong, even the chief thinker of Gong Tian, Yue Fengyun and Tong Tong, who should be more responsible for the deployment of troops, also joined the battle, just for the last impact to burst out with stronger strength.
In terms of equipment, Hong Baineng finally decided to take the black bamboo forest in person this time. In that kind of place where too much equipment can't be accommodated, only on the black bamboo forest can he provide the greatest support for himself in a limited space.
As for the formations and warriors, this time there was no longer any hiding. The elite of the descendants of 30,000 Huan Yin walked towards the tiger's mouth with the immeasurable sword array, commanded by Tong Tong himself, just seeking to settle the situation in one battle!
In the absence of Huan Yin, the 30,000 soldiers who have now walked to the tiger's mouth for the fifth time can be said to be the strongest force under Huan Yin. The impact they can exert can be said to be rare in the Three Realms, and it is rare to meet opponents. Moreover, they are all ready to sacrifice one by one, even the imperial concubine of Donghuang Yu'er has the determination to fight to the death. Because they know the importance of this impact, this time, they will do whatever it takes to take the tiger's mouth!
