Bai Ze felt that the blood all over his body was boiling.
He shouted, unsheathed his Green Frost Sword, and led the Hulao Army towards the oncoming army of the dead.
Xie Xuan did not stop him.
Close combat.
Bai Ze rushed at the front, his Green Frost Sword had three inches of radiance, and the green light shone brightly, as if the sword itself was solid and unbreakable.
Sword control, sword energy, sword intent, and sword strength.
This is the fourth realm of sword cultivation.
Bai Ze has already reached the threshold of the sword realm.
The next step is the Jian Gang Realm.
"Suffer death!" Bai Ze laughed loudly. Wherever the sword light passed, the standard saber that the deceased took out from the Weicheng arsenal was broken. Countless deceased people were cut in half in one encounter. Can only crawl on the ground.
This is Zhiwei’s crushing massacre of a group of people on the other side of the sea.
"kill!!--"
Seeing Bai Ze's fierceness, the Hulao army behind him immediately became more motivated and followed Bai Ze in a rampage, slashing at him.
On the other side, the giant's arm, which was cut off by Wu Lianjiang's sword, fell into Wengcheng City. He immediately scattered and turned into demon soldiers, stumbling to get up.
Wengcheng is located between the outer city wall and the inner city wall of Hulao Pass. It looks like a big urn, hence its name.
The urn city communicates with the inner city by a suspension bridge and is cast together with the outer city. The Hulao army followed the passage on the Wengcheng wall and continuously provided support to the outer city.
Now the giant fell down, and a large number of the army of the dead rushed into the urn city, dragging their weapons with their teeth and claws, and rushed towards the inner city.
"Open the city gate and rush over!" Lord Shen Mo, the deputy general of the Hulao Army, stood on the inner city. He saw thousands of dead people rushing in from Wengcheng and shouted: "The cavalry is ready to kill these dead people back to their graves!!"
"Got the order!" He ordered the marching troops to beat the drums, and the warriors opened the gate of the inner city. Six hundred cavalry swept through the formation, and there were many lances. They rushed out the moment the city gate opened.
"kill!!--"
The cavalry roared and the horses roared with hooves, stepping on the cold ground and charging towards the army of more than a thousand dead.
One charge and a third of the dead fell.
Fifty of the cavalry were killed.
"Line up!" the cavalry captain shouted, preparing for the second round of charge.
The catapults in the inner city were still throwing huge rocks outside the pass. The two sides were throwing them at each other. In the end, they ran out of ammunition and food. They actually sent people to pick up the big rocks that had been thrown by the other side and picked them up. Put it in a catapult and continue to launch.
Simply brutal.
At the head of Hulao Pass, the tug-of-war between the two sides has become fierce. The Hulao army and the giant demon soldiers rushed to the top of the city. You advanced and we retreated, and the killing was inextricable.
Bai Ze didn't even expect that he could kill him with mercy.
This battle lasted from when the sun rose to when it hung high in the sky.
A whole hour.
The black armor on Bai Ze's body was all broken flesh, and the coagulated blood stuck to the armor, like a ferocious purple snake.
At first there were shouts of killing, but later the shouting soldiers' voices became hoarse, and all they could hear was the beating of drums, the clanking of weapons, and murderous intent.
Fight.
Fight.
Apart from fighting, the Hulao army had no other ideas. They charged in numbly, and the fifteen-man formation could no longer be maintained. By the end of the battle, the sergeant was exhausted and his arms were swollen.
But the dead are tireless.
On the top of the city, the last demon soldier was beheaded by Ye Xuan with a knife, and he flew up and kicked off the city wall. The living people looked at each other, and saw that the top of the city was densely packed with corpses.
In the first battle, the Hulao army suffered as many as 7,000 casualties.
The number of dead people who fell was more than twice that of the Hulao army, but after the first battle, no one alive felt excited.
They almost collapsed at the top of the city from exhaustion, gasping for air, looking hopelessly at the dense army of the dead in the wilderness outside the pass, but they refused to admit defeat and stood proudly at the top of the city.
"Woo!!——"
The horn of withdrawing troops was sounded in the enemy formation, and the demon soldiers began to retreat like an ebbing tide. Xian Zhen still sat arrogantly on the skeleton horse, his eyes indifferent.
The army of the dead temporarily stopped attacking, and Hulao Pass was able to take a brief breather.
What they didn't expect was that Xian Zhen still didn't launch a second round of attack until nightfall that day.
It was as if the early morning siege was just a joke made by Xian Zhen on a whim.
At night, at the Hulao Pass city tower, the military advisor looked at the huge ladder of the Chinese army outside the pass. The place was surrounded by evil spirits and was eerie.
The fire in Wengcheng is still burning.
If you don't burn the corpses of seven thousand people, you can only watch them get up and become red-eyed demon soldiers.
There were still sporadic corpses crawling out of the rolling fire, staring at the blood-stained pupils. The soldiers who burned the corpses stabbed them back with a three-foot-long lance until they were burned and could no longer get up.
Burnt smell.
The soldiers who burned the corpses, except Ye Xuan, all vomited.
Thick smoke filled the sky above Hulao Gate, filled with the smell of death.
"Commander, how are we going to fight this battle?" Lieutenant General Silence Jun pressed the sword on his waist, his brows furrowed, and his resolute profile was full of worry, "Seven thousand people died in battle, and two thousand people have to clean up the battlefield. Will you be the one you used to be?" Their comrades were thrown into the fire pit and burned, and then they watched the corpses emerge from the fire. It was a huge blow to them. The morale of the three armies has reached the bottom after this battle."
"If you don't fight, you will die." Yuan Zhe said, "If you fight, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Yuan Zhe turned around and walked down the tower.
Lord Silence is on duty tonight, guarding the outer city of Hulao Pass. He looked at the gloomy Master of the Dead in the wilderness outside the pass, his mind was like iron, and he was falling inch by inch.
The cold moon is silent.
But when no one was paying attention, the three-foot-frozen moat outside Hulao Pass was quietly dug up.
One after another, the black shadows burrowed from the ice pit into the cold river water, and went upstream.
The drainage canal in Hulao Pass is connected to the moat. Three iron gates block the drainage outlet. Only three adult men can pass through the drainage outlet at the same time.
"Gululu——"
If someone looks around in the moat at this moment, they will find thousands of densely packed dark shadows swimming neatly in the water, heading straight for the drainage channel connecting Hulao Pass to the moat.
"Jie Jie, Xie Xuan." In the wilderness outside the pass, Li Tianxing stood at the top of the Chinese army's ladder, looking at the night view of Hulao Pass, and sneered to himself: "How long can a team that has lost military morale be able to hold on? Hulao Pass cannot be defended. , and when you leave seclusion, it will be the time when the Nine Provinces Sword Emperor dies!"
Demonic energy lingers.
The huge magic circle takes the ladder as its core and radiates in all directions.
"In my blood-transforming demon formation, I am the master!" Li Tianxing looked up to the sky and sighed, opening his arms and embracing Leng Yue.
…
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Five hours ago.
Heyang City's 25,000 cavalry had already assembled at the moment they received Xie Xuan's secret letter. Tao Hongjing, the great master of Tianzhu Mountain, personally gave a speech in front of the formation, calling on the soldiers from the southern region to protect their homes and country, eliminate demons, defend the Tao, and support justice.
"Turn the tide from imminent collapse, save the people from the fire and water, all in this fight!" Tao Hongjing shaved off his sloppy beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and majestic, and he looked like a master, "I heard that the Heyang Army There is only one tradition, and that is fighting to the death!"
"Today we go to Hulao Pass and we have no choice but to fight to the death!" Tao Hongjing said, as 25,000 cavalrymen mounted their horses and lined up in the huge circular square of Heyang City, showing their generosity. "An ancient sage said, "Everyone is destined to die!" Mount Tai may be lighter than a feather.”
"Heng Dao immediately broke through the enemy formation and took Xian Zhen's head. That is more important than Mount Tai! Huddled in Heyang City and saw the Southern Territory fall, it is lighter than a feather!" Tao Hongjing drew his sword, "For the Southern Territory!"
"For the Southern Territory!!" Twenty-five thousand cavalry roared.
"Kill Xian Zhen!" Tao Hongjing raised his sword.
"Kill Xian Zhen!!" The three armies shouted in unison.
"Heyang Army, fight to the death!" Mu Suifeng held a bloody spear, his silver armor shining brightly, reining in his horse in front of the formation and raising his spear horizontally.
"Fight to the death!!"
"Fight to the death!!"
"Fight to the death!!"
The great master of Tianzhu Mountain appeared in Heyang as the vanguard of the three armies in the battle against Hulao Pass.
The morale of the three armies reached its peak at this moment.
Tao Hongjing stood in the east of the square, sheathed his sword, pointed to the sky, and roared: "Sword coming!"
The Heyang Sword Furnace soared into the sky and turned into a stream of light, flying over the square.
"Zheng!——"
The standard swords on the waists of the 25,000 cavalry vibrated together, and the sounds became a sea of sword sounds, shocking the entire Heyang City.
The 1.5 million residents in the city looked up to the sky and saw 25,000 swords rising into the sky, hovering above Tao Hongjing's finger, surrounding the Heyang Sword Furnace, forming a sword formation that covered the sky and the sun.
"Immortal!"
Hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city knelt down and looked up at the miracle.
"Heyang Army listens to the order!" Zhao Dun took the lead, and under the sword formation, he suddenly pulled out the Wuji Sword, his eyes widened, and roared: "Three armies, go to war!!"
On this day, Xian Zhen sent an army of 200,000 to attack Hulao Pass. The Hulao army defended desperately, and the first round of attacks was blocked.
On this day, the Heyang Army's 25,000 cavalry rushed out of Heyang City and defended the southern region to the death.
Yu Youwei stood on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce Pavilion, looking at the huge sword array from a distance with a murderous intent, and sighed leisurely.
"Don't laugh, Lord, who is lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times." The enchanting girl said softly, "It's been a long time since we've been in troubled times."
