At dawn the next day, the clouds were heavy and the cold rain was falling. The wind whistled through the mountains and passed Tanglin Pass. The soldiers wore helmets and armor. In this early autumn, everyone felt a little chilly and couldn't help but want to shiver.
The north gate of Tanglin Pass was crowded with a large number of soldiers and horses. Chu Xiuyang was riding on a horse and standing at the door. Behind her were five thousand elite cavalry. These were the only five thousand horses in Tanglin Pass.
The rest of the soldiers could only walk on foot, which was a helpless move. When we break out of the siege later, we will mainly rely on these five thousand cavalry.
In addition to the original garrison, there are also three monks standing at the door, namely Xu Huaigu, Xia Ying and Yin Zushi. This is currently the strongest combat force in Tanglin Pass.
According to the plan, as soon as the city gate opens, Xu Huaigu and three others will lead the charge, followed by Chu Xiuyang and his cavalry, and finally the remaining 55,000 soldiers.
Except for the three Xu Huaigu, the other monks will be scattered among the cavalry. At least each monk can protect a group of soldiers around him. Only in this way can the formation be guaranteed to be stable when charging into the formation.
Chu Xiuyang wore a sword at her waist and was sitting astride a big maroon horse. Raindrops dripped from her helmet. She held her head high and her eyebrows were straight. Several generals were reporting to her one after another behind her.
"Report to General Chu that the third battalion is ready, just waiting for the general's order!"
"Report to the general that the second camp is ready!"
"The same goes for the First Battalion!" Chu Xiuyang nodded with satisfaction when he saw the troops behind him were in good order. She looked down at Xu Huaigu and the others again and said, "Where are you?" Xu Huaigu and the others looked at each other and said, "We are all ready."
"Okay." Chu Xiuyang replied. She turned to look at the 60,000 soldiers neatly arranged behind her, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers! Please be quiet and listen to me!" The 60,000 soldiers and horses were very neatly organized, with everyone holding their chests straight and their faces solemn, except for There was some sound of horse hooves and rain, but not a single murmur could be heard.
Chu Xiuyang said angrily: "The monster tribe invaded our land and killed our people. It is not allowed by nature! We, the people of Dayu Kingdom, have to rise up to resist and correct the path. Every one of us is a member of Dayu Country." Heroes! I am proud of you, and you should also be proud of your bravery! You say, right?"
"Yes!" Sixty thousand people answered in unison, shouting all day long. Xu Huaigu saw the resolute eyes of everyone, and the hands of many soldiers holding weapons were trembling.
Their blood was burning in their chests, and turned into anger towards the demon clan, which was revealed from the murderous aura all over their bodies.
"Although the demon clan is powerful, as long as we are not afraid of them, they are just flesh and blood, and they can be injured or die just like that!" Chu Xiuyang continued to encourage,
"Now that all six passes have been lost, only our Tanglin Pass, the first pass of the Dayu Kingdom, is still standing! Now, Tanglin Pass has also run out of gas and light. It is time to leave, but as long as our soldiers are still Now, our spirit will be immortal, Tanglin Pass will never die, and we will always be at the forefront of fighting against the demon clan!"
"Roar!" The soldiers below couldn't help shouting, and the drummer on the city wall beat the big drum. The sound of the drum suppressed the sound of the heavy rain and made the sky shake.
The morale of the army has reached its highest point. The rain is like pouring into a pan of oil. Not only can it not dampen the emotions of the soldiers, but it has made it even more intense!
Seeing that the time was right, Chu Xiuyang unsheathed his sword resolutely, pointed the tip of the sword outside the city, and said loudly: "I will open the way for you, please follow me to this final battle!"
"Open the door! Kill!" Chu Xiuyang gave the order, and soldiers on both sides quickly opened the city gate. Xu Huaigu and three other people each used monk body skills to rush to the front of the team.
Five thousand cavalry followed closely behind, their horses' hooves stepping into the mud, and even the ground trembled slightly. Then the remaining soldiers rushed out with swords and guns in hand, with astonishing momentum.
The demon clan guarding outside the city originally wanted to surround Tanglin Pass on all sides, wait until the supplies in the pass were exhausted, and then easily capture the pass, but they never expected that so many soldiers would suddenly rush out.
Moreover, these soldiers are completely different from the past. Every one of them seems to be desperate for their lives. The murderous look in their eyes is no different from that of wild beasts.
However, these monsters reacted quickly, quickly organized their formation, and formed a wall in an attempt to prevent the attack.
A flying demon flew into the sky and quickly reported the news to other places. Xu Huaigu rushed to the front. He knew that this was a tough battle, so he had already made up his mind to do his best to help the soldiers of Tanglin Pass. Therefore, he did not hold back at all when he made a move. A flying sword of his own life and a flying sword of the heart lake were already like fish in the water. , each let go and went to kill.
In addition, he also drew his outer sword, the Phoenix Feather Sword, and rushed into the demon clan's formation. Most of these monsters are small monsters. Therefore, although Xu Huaigu was surrounded by monsters as dense as a tide, the sword light turned over like a sword cutting off the water. In the blink of an eye, dozens of monsters were killed by the sword, and blood covered the ground. .
Soon, the big demons among them noticed Xu Huaigu. Several big demons from the Seventh Realm joined forces to attack him, and Xu Huaigu got into a fight.
The situation on the side of Yin Zishi and Xia Ying was similar to that of Xu Huaigu. After killing dozens of monsters, they were also targeted by the big monsters, and each of them fell into a bitter battle.
The three of them took action together and only tore off a small piece of the demon clan's encirclement, but they were unable to do anything. It’s not their fault. After all, it’s a war. No matter how strong an individual is, there will be equally strong demons among the demon clan to hold them back, and it’s hard to tell the difference for a while.
To truly win the war, it depends on the competition between the armies of both sides. Chu Xiuyang took the lead in the charge, and the cavalry behind him also moved forward in an unstoppable manner. When the horses charged into the formation, the monsters blocking the front were the first to suffer.
Countless demon clansmen were trampled down by random hooves before they had time to react. Once he falls, he has no chance to get up and can only become a dead soul under the horse's hooves.
Even if the monsters around him tried to attack him, they were shot down by the crossbow arrows carried by the soldiers and then killed with their swords.
If a fish slips through the net, the nearest monk will take action to kill it, so the cavalry formation remains stable.
For a moment, these five thousand cavalrymen were as invincible as gods of war. They rushed forward for nearly a mile and tore a hole in the airtight encirclement of the demon clan.
Although the cavalry charge was fierce, the soldiers on foot behind were not so lucky. Without the speed of horses or the protection of monks, they were soon targeted by the demon clan.
Seeing that they had hit a snag with the cavalry, the demon clan turned their spearheads towards these people and turned towards them one after another.
Even though the soldiers bravely killed the enemy, the pace of the breakout was slowed down, and soon it was as if they were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move.
The cavalry almost broke out of the encirclement. Chu Xiuyang turned around and saw that the remaining 55,000 soldiers were already surrounded by monsters, and the encirclement was getting thicker and denser.
Chu Xiuyang was anxious and shouted loudly: "Listen to my order! The cavalry continues to charge forward and set up camp at the planned camp after leaving! Dismount the monk and follow me back to help!" After that, she clamped the horse's belly and pulled He picked up the reins, turned the horse's head, and rushed back again.
The cavalry obeyed the order and continued to rush out at a faster speed; as for the monks, some actually got off their horses and followed Chu Xiuyang back to rescue people regardless. Others looked at the densely packed monsters with no end in sight and felt fearful in their hearts. , then quietly lowered his head, mixed into the cavalry team, and rushed out together.
Chu Xiuyang turned around to save people, but was soon targeted by a leopard demon from the third realm. The leopard demon was hiding among the little demons. While Chu Xiuyang was swinging his sword to kill the demon, he suddenly pounced from one side and threw her horse to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiuyang fell off the horse suddenly and rolled on the ground several times. Before she could get up, the leopard demon had already pounced on her, pressing its claws firmly on her chest, opening its bloody mouth and moving towards her neck. The leopard demon's claws were extremely sharp and close to her body. The soft armor couldn't stop him at all, and Chu Xiuyang suddenly felt a pain in her heart.
The soft armor was torn to pieces without even thinking, except that the blood was already dripping from his chest. Regardless of the pain, she immediately pulled out the dagger from her waist with her right hand and stabbed the leopard demon in the neck.
Unexpectedly, the leopard demon has rough skin and thick flesh, and has gained cultivation and extremely strong vitality. Chu Xiuyang stabbed it several times, and although it was still bleeding, the strength pressing on her chest was not reduced at all. She could feel the sharp claw tips going deeper and deeper, and her chest hurt so much that she almost lost consciousness, and she couldn't help but feel despair in her heart.
He had practiced martial arts since he was a child, was good at it, and was familiar with military books. He escaped from the palace and went south, where he was appreciated by Lu Zijin and finally took this position.
However, after losing his identity as a general and actually fighting on the battlefield, he couldn't even defeat a third-level monster.
It's a pity that I grew up in the royal family, otherwise I would have lost my courage and become a warrior. What should I fear from a mere three-level demon clan?
I was unwilling to give in. I still had so many things I wanted to do that I hadn't accomplished yet. How could I die so easily? Really unwilling to give in... Chu Xiuyang thought that she would definitely die, so she closed her eyes. While she was thinking wildly, she suddenly felt that the force pressing her in her chest weakened, and then the leopard demon's body collapsed on her. His body was soft and heavy, as if he had lost his life.
"General, are you okay?" Someone whispered in his ear. Chu Xiuyang struggled to open her eyes and glanced at the person who came, it was Fan Xuan.
Chu Xiuyang had an impression of her. She was a monk of Zixia Sect. Chu Xiuyang breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she regained consciousness, her chest began to hurt terribly, and she couldn't help but
Fan Xuan took a breath of cold air, frowned, and quickly looked for medicine from her body.
"Thank you." Chu Xiuyang thanked him softly. In fact, she didn't have the energy to speak louder. Her heart was already covered with blood, her skin and flesh were torn to pieces, and the wounds were shocking.
Fan Xuan couldn't bear to look at it, so she quickly took out a pill and put it into Chu Xiuyang's mouth. She also took out a packet of powder and sprinkled it on her wound.
These are all magical medicines that can protect Chu Xiuyang's life.
"I'll take you away." Fan Xuan helped Chu Xiuyang up and was about to leave. Immediately, several demons from the third and fourth realms gathered around him and stared at him eagerly.
Fan Xuan took out a few talismans from her sleeves, supported Chu Xiuyang with one hand, and cast spells to deal with them with the other. However, the demon tribe also seemed to know that Chu Xiuyang was an important figure. More and more demon tribes surrounded the two of them, and Fan Xuan gradually became unable to do what she wanted.
Chu Xiuyang was no longer able to lift the sword, and several demon clans from the fifth and sixth realms came around. Fan Xuan was unable to defeat him alone, and the situation between the two of them became increasingly critical.
Chu Xiuyang murmured: "Xu Huaigu... let me see Xu Huaigu." Fan Xuan heard Chu Xiuyang's murmuring, and was a little anxious for a moment. She couldn't care about anything, so she also shouted: "Xu Huaigu!" Xu Huaigu was far away. He was surrounded by several Seven Realm Monsters everywhere. When he heard someone calling him, he quickly gathered his two flying swords and used one sword to drive back the group of monsters. Then he stepped on another sword and flew into the air, looking towards where the sound came from.
Among the vast demon tide, two people were surrounded by a large group of demon clan. One was Fan Xuan and the other was Chu Xiuyang. Chu Xiuyang seemed to be injured.
As soon as he saw Chu Xiuyang injured, an unknown fire burned in his heart. Xu Huaigu's face turned cold, and he casually chopped off several flying monsters that were approaching with two swords.
Before anyone could move, the Heart Lake Flying Sword had already followed its will and landed next to Chu Xiuyang and Fan Xuan. With one strike of the sword, it cut out a large piece of flat ground in the demonic tide. Immediately, Xu Huaigu also used his sword to land on the two sides. Side of person.
He glanced at Chu Xiuyang's injury, frowned suddenly, and then looked at Fan Xuan. When Fan Xuan saw Xu Huaigu, she was still a little timid and didn't dare to speak. Xu Huaigu said coldly: "Follow me!" After that, he used his flying sword to take her away. Chu Xiuyang hurriedly caught it. His hand said eagerly: "Wait!" Xu Huaigu turned to look at her.
"Please do me a favor." Chu Xiuyang forced a smile.
"Help me save the soldiers behind me. Try to save as many as possible. Thank you very much." Xu Huaigu looked at her worriedly, sighed and said, "Okay." He looked at Feijian, and then looked at her with a complicated expression. Fan Xuan said to her: "Chu Xiuyang, please leave it to you." Fan Xuan nodded quickly, and Xu Huaigu motioned for her to step onto the flying sword.
Fan Xuan did not dare to neglect, and quickly walked up with Chu Xiuyang. The flying sword immediately rose into the air, carrying the two of them away from the battlefield.
There were several overestimating flying demons in the sky that tried to stop the two of them, but Fan Xuan cast them down one by one. Xu Huaigu watched Feijian leave the battlefield and felt relieved.
He turned his attention to the battlefield. I saw that when I just sent Chu Xiuyang away, I was already surrounded by monsters. However, they also knew that Xu Huaigu was not easy to mess with. They only dared to stare fiercely from a few feet away, but no monster dared to approach him.
Xu Huaigu looked towards the direction of the follow-up army, which was already surrounded by monsters. The trapped army was like an isolated island in the sea, being swallowed up by the tide little by little.
He was about to rush to help, but he saw that the previous seven-level monsters were chasing him again. He also found an eighth-level monster from somewhere and attacked him together.
Xu Huaigu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the situation was over. However, he had just promised Chu Xiuyang that he could not let go at this time no matter what.
He took back the remaining flying sword, and the silver-white flying sword surrounded him. Several big demons stopped not far from him and stared at him fiercely.
Seeing this formation, all the little demons around them fled the place one after another, leaving space for the two sides who were at war with each other to avoid suffering unreasonable disasters.
The rain is getting heavier. Xu Huaigu looked coldly, and the series of raindrops in the sky seemed to have a trajectory, and every drop of rain could not escape his eyes.
The dragon is easy to kill, but the rain line is difficult to draw. This is the essence of Kuai Jian. A drop of rain fell from Xu Huaigu's hair and hit the ground with a splash, causing a small splash of water.
In this chaotic and noisy battlefield, he could clearly see one of the millions of raindrops. A flash of sword light passed by, rain fell, and the sword came out.
