Chapter 903: Raid and Counterattack
However, this kind of battle between small teams can only be regarded as a small fight in the war. If you win, you can boost your morale. If you lose, you will not be hurt, because both sides have large armies to support them at the rear. , as long as there is time to escape, no one can go deep into the enemy's position and kill them all, so they are used by various sects and courts to train newcomers.
Compared with this kind of small battle on the edge of the battlefield, the confrontation between large armies in the central area is the frontal battlefield. On the side of the Song Dynasty court, there were flying ships, infantry and cavalry coordination below, as well as Taoist catapults, flame crossbow towers and other war equipment manufactured by many imperial weapon refining workshops. Under the command of the generals, regardless of consumption, Launch a series of attacks.
Exploding mana shells, falling fire rain, huge falling rocks, and scattered sharp blades threw the formation of the Southern Barbarian army into chaos. Many barbarian soldiers who had not yet had time to become demonized and went crazy couldn't help but fear, and began to flee in all directions. This led to further chaos in the military formation.
The commander-in-chief of the Song Army carefully observed the enemy's every move with a telescope customized from the weapon refining workshop. The command flag in his hand had already begun to be raised. As soon as there was a hole in the flank of the Southern Barbarian army formation, he would order the cavalry to attack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. !
But the barbarians were able to fight against the Central Plains dynasty for many years, not without means. Suddenly, a loud drum sound was heard from behind the barbarian army formation, and the originally chaotic southern barbarian soldiers instinctively dispersed to both sides and opened a way. A group of burly barbarians with strange colorful patterns on their bodies came out. They beat war drums and drove huge crimson beasts into the battlefield.
The commander-in-chief of the Song Army immediately narrowed his eyes, "Even the 'Barbarian Rhinoceros', which has always only guarded the Holy Land of the Volcano, were dispatched. It seems that the Southern Barbarians have united all the tribes this time to fight to the death with me, the Song Dynasty." Thinking of this, he raised another command flag, ordered the spearmen and heavy armor soldiers to form a joint defense formation, and used the secret technique of military energy to cover the outside of the army with a layer of military energy barrier to prevent the enemy's spell attacks.
These behemoths are giant lava rhinoceros that live around volcanoes. They are thick-skinned and incredibly heavy. They can not only launch a charge to break through enemy formations, but can also eject magma balls and fire spells and other long-range attacks, threatening Feikonglou. Boat. Surrounding the giant beast, there are also fire demons with wings on their backs, who are constantly playing with fireballs with their hands, and from time to time throw out fireballs that are no less powerful than grenades.
If you can observe carefully, you will find that the bodies of the barbarians driving the lava rhinoceros are covered with fine black and red scales, their pupils are erected, and fangs have grown out of their mouths. They have been transformed into the abyss. Even the lava giant rhinos have red eyes and mouths. Poisonous water flows, and ugly demonic insects emerge from the surface from time to time. However, they have assimilated and symbiotic with the demonic insects, gaining stronger attack power and self-healing power at the cost of greatly shortening their lifespan.
Each abyssal lava giant rhinoceros has its own ring of evil aura, which can radiate the surrounding abyssal creatures and strengthen them. When they appear, the eyes of the barbarian soldiers begin to become redder and redder. Finally, under the influence of the barbarian general, With a roar, all the barbarians began to activate the demonized Gu insects in their bodies and transformed into the Gu demon form.
Some of the stronger barbarian soldiers even further activated the demon blood they drank in this fanatical atmosphere, completely transforming into demonic forms, killing the unprepared Song soldiers in front of them, devouring their flesh and blood, and letting out ugly laughter.
"Damn it!" When the cultivators and worshipers headed by Taoist Mingjing saw this scene, they did not care to avoid the breath and flame spells emitted by the lava rhinoceros. They activated the defensive formation of the flying sky building and moved quickly on the battlefield. A series of magic shells were fired, blasting the demonized barbarians who were massacring the soldiers of the Song Dynasty into pieces.
The Song army manipulating war equipment in the distance also changed its target and bombarded the front of the demonized barbarians, slightly blocking the charge of the barbarians.
But at this moment, a large shadow suddenly rose in the forest not far away. The shadow moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it came to the battlefield, but it was composed of thousands of vulture demons, flying wing demons, flo demons, etc. A flying demon army composed of aerial combat demons. Relying on their large numbers and fearlessness of death, these demons surrounded Feikonglou's ships and prevented them from supporting the Song army on the ground.
Not only that, the ground beneath the Song troops who were defending on the spot also collapsed, and huge spiders the size of horses emerged from the flying dust, spraying out poisonous spider webs and poisonous spiders at the surrounding soldiers. venom, and wielded sharp claws to penetrate the soldiers' shields and bodies, setting off a bloody storm.
It turned out to be an underground army composed of thousands of demon-hunting spiders and other spider-like demons. They took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to dig tunnels from a distance, and finally launched a surprise attack while the Song army was focusing on the battle and neglecting reconnaissance. As soon as it appeared, it severely damaged the Song Army's reserve defense forces.
"Damn it, the collusion between the southern barbarians and the demons has actually gone so deep. The southern demon sect, this group of human traitors, actually gave their followers to the demons. If I had known this, I should have asked your majesty to launch an all-out southern expedition. Now, these barbarians will be killed." Destroy it!" The general of the Song Army felt sad in his heart, but regretted it too late, so he could only make up for it first.
He saw the soldiers retreating steadily under the surprise attacks from both heaven and earth. He had to spend his military energy again to activate the defense of the military formation. At the same time, he sent out cavalry to launch a charge and killed a small wave of demons in front. He also sent out his personal guards to strangle his own camp. The scattered demons among them finally stabilized their position.
Some casual cultivators who came for rewards from the imperial court were frightened out of their wits by the miserable situation like a Shura field. Seeing the demonic legions coming overwhelmingly to kill them, they didn't even dare to resist. They immediately turned around and ran away, even blessing their bodies with various "light body techniques". "Wind Escape" and other acceleration spells, for fear of being torn into pieces if you escape too slowly.
Several court ministers were so stunned that they squirted out the essence and blood of their hearts and souls at their magic weapons, squeezing out the last of their magic power, and launched attacks against the demon army again and again, but just like a few waves in the tide, only It caused a little ripple and then disappeared in the tidal charge of the demon army.
These worshipers enjoy the imperial salary, and their fate has long been integrated with the Song Dynasty. They cannot retreat even if they don't want to, so they would rather die in battle, so that their disciples, relatives and friends in the rear can at least receive the imperial compensation. Their efforts were not in vain. At least they slowed down the charging speed of the demon army, allowing more Song troops to resume their military formations and begin to kill the incoming demons with the blessing of military energy and collective strength.
Under the desperate fighting of the Song Army, whether it was the charging demonized barbarians or the spider demons emerging from the ground, they began to encounter strong obstacles. They could no longer cause chaos to the Song Army. Instead, the Song Army was restored to its military formation. He rushed back.
However, some of the demons who were red-eyed did not know how to retreat, but kept charging towards crowded places. Although they caused more casualties to the Song army, they were eventually strangled to death when the Song army returned to its orderly formation.
