Chapter 676: Timely assistance
Seeing the terrifying size of the demonic insect leader and the visible black demonic energy surging on his body, the defenders of Yingyang Pass felt a chill in their hearts.
"Gentlemen, reinforcements are coming soon, hold on!" Seeing the low morale of the defenders, General Li couldn't help but shouted, "Look at the fate of those prairie barbarians. If Yingyang Pass is lost, what will happen next?" Those who will suffer will be the people of the Song Dynasty in the rear, your parents and relatives!" After drinking, he summoned up his courage, circulated the true energy in his body, and with the blessing of military energy, he volleyed a two-foot-long saber energy toward the outside of the city. Split a demonic insect climbing towards the city in half.
Hearing General Li's words and being inspired by his thunder blow, the soldiers refreshed their spirits and couldn't help but think along his words. They also couldn't help but think about how Fang Jiayuan was transformed into a monster after being ravaged by these demonic insects. The sight of a sea of blood could not help but shudder in the heart, (even if they die, they cannot let these demons break through the Yingyang Pipe!) Thinking of this, their eyes became determined, and there was a hint of death in their bodies.
Seeing that the soldiers' morale had been restored, General Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly his eyesight darkened and his body swayed. If he hadn't immediately held on to the city wall stone, he would have almost fainted. It turned out that the sword energy that had just been forcibly stimulated Gu's body to boost morale had drained the true energy from his body, and now there were bursts of tearing pain all over his body.
He quickly swallowed a Qi-boosting elixir, waited for the potion to dissolve in his body, and after feeling a little more comfortable, General Li immediately reorganized the defenders and began to defend. Because, a large number of demonic insects have been summoned by the demonic insect leader, and they are densely attacking the city wall.
I saw the demonic insect leader raising his ugly head high and letting out a high-pitched scream. The huge shadow head in the sky suddenly collapsed and turned into countless small spiritual snake-like black gases. They rushed down to the ground, absorbing and devouring all the prairie barbarians along the way. His flesh and blood body and residual materials eventually merged into the mighty army of demonic insects.
In an instant, the prairie barbarian team, which was originally crowded with tens of thousands of people, was almost completely wiped out in this accident.
"What a filthy evil spirit. It can even pollute my evil soul. Damn it. Could it be the work of another alien troll?" Under the great change, the originally bewildered demon cultivator was finally stimulated. He vomited blood and suddenly woke up. After feeling it for a moment, his face couldn't help but become extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but curse.
"This matter is strange and must be reported to the sect. These demonic insects attack without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy. They either lose control or are secretly and deliberately manipulated. In short, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. It is best to leave first. However, the failure of this war requires a few witnesses. Testify for me." After thinking about it, he immediately cast a spell to wake up several fellow sects and shamans from the prairie barbarians. After briefly explaining the situation, they set up their escape lights and black winds and fled away.
The demonic insects filled with black energy screamed in pain and pleasure. Their size expanded by three points again, and their appearance became more ferocious. They accelerated towards the city wall. In just a moment, various attacks such as head-horn collisions, acid spitting, quasi-magic summons, and energy impacts were struck on the city wall, destroying the masonry walls that were blessed with a protective formation and refined with secret techniques. It was dusty and full of potholes.
Naturally, the defenders could not let the demonic insects destroy the city wall like this, so they used the defensive equipment to attack the demonic insects below the city. However, items such as rolling wooden stones, gray bottles of golden soup, willow nails and kerosene, etc. are basically for defense against human defenders. Although the prairie barbarians have repeatedly invaded the border in recent years, there are more and more demons and monsters among the enemy forces, making The defenders also added some magic-breaking props such as Taoist talismans and water purifiers, but the quantities were sparse and not enough to sustain.
Thanks to the Song Dynasty's vigorous promotion of martial arts and military killing formations over the years, these elite border soldiers have more or less developed some skills. In addition, the sacrifices and martial arts masters in the city have fully participated in the battle, and they can barely fight. Defeated a wave of demonic insect attacks. However, these demonic insects have rough skin and thick flesh, and their regeneration ability is extremely strong. Even severed limbs can be easily regenerated. Moreover, their temperament is extremely cruel, and they can actually speed up their recovery by devouring the corpses of dead demonic insects and defenders. Therefore, even though they were repelled from the offensive, very few demonic insects actually died.
However, seeing that the supplies for guarding the city were almost exhausted, and his men were about to fight hand-to-hand with the demonic insects, General Li couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart. "Even if you die here, you must pass on the information!" Just as he decided Return to the city guard and activate a one-time communication circle that is only allowed to be activated when facing the city's destruction. This communication circle can record the content of up to a quarter of an hour after activation, whether it is the oral statements of the parties or changes in the surrounding environment. They can all be recorded and passed to the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty.
Outside the city, the demon insect leader hissed angrily, spitting out streams of green poisonous mist, which floated into the city. It actually dimmed the corrosive light of the protective shield formed by the city defense formation. It was obviously extremely corrosive and toxic. The leader of the demonic insects took action personally. Once the formation was broken, the entire population of the city would suffer.
Just as the soldiers and civilians in the city were falling into despair, suddenly, a clear voice came from the sky: "The sweet rain is falling, and the divine thunder will kill the devil!" I saw a flash of green light in the sky, and large raindrops fell from the sky, quickly neutralizing the poison. The fog and the demonic energy shrouding all directions, and at the same time, bursts of blue thunder and lightning also hit the demonic insect leader who was spitting poisonous mist, splitting his skin and flesh to pieces, and the juice splashed everywhere.
"Reinforcements! It's reinforcements! The reinforcements sent by the imperial court are here!!" The sharp-eyed soldiers saw this scene and shouted excitedly. Suddenly, all the soldiers and civilians in the city cheered.

(The state has recovered somewhat. This is a chapter I typed in bed. After many days, my feet no longer hurt much. However, I have been straining my muscles and bones for a hundred days. I will probably be able to write in bed in the next few months. Thanks to book friends "16022", "Zhulin Qixian" and "solen" for their monthly votes. Your support is the motivation for my writing!)
