Chapter 937: Marching into the Frontier to Clear the Wilderness (Part 1)
"Masters, what do you think of the proposal I just made?" Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon chair, looking expectantly at the representatives of the major sects in front of him.
"The heavens are still chaotic in the northwest, but the aura of heaven and earth is turbulent, and the evil spirits in it are indeed colliding fiercely. Last night, we worked together to observe the sky at night and predict good and bad luck. According to the observation, the appearance of the devil clouds representing the fate of evil spirits outside the sky began to change. Scattered, several large demonic clouds conflict with each other, indicating that the internal conflicts are severe.
Moreover, those demons and ghosts who colluded with the demons did not know what orders they received, and they stopped actively launching wars. The old demons headed by the Five Directions Demon Cult also disappeared one after another, leaving only some demons and their descendants. Cooperating with the demon army to fight, I don't know what conspiracy they are plotting in secret.
However, the demon clans from all over the country are returning to Shiwanda Mountain one after another, and the demon kings of all walks of life are no longer showing up. They seem to be shrinking their troops and sticking to their old nests. The fortunes of the demons and demons are also colliding with each other. It seems that something has happened between the two sides. conflict.
There shouldn't be much error in the information provided by fellow Taoist You Longzi. The current situation is indeed beneficial to our side. "
Although the heads of Tianshi Dao and Kunlun looked a little pale due to exhaustion from trying their best to calculate, their eyes showed surprise and confidence.
"The demons are in civil strife and have no time to care. Our human race has turned from defense to attack. The time has finally come to regain the lost ground!" After receiving the affirmation from all the experts, Zhao Kuangyin made a prompt decision and urged the court to dispatch all the elite legions to prepare logistics and launch the attack as quickly as possible. Go to the front line and take advantage of the main force of the demons to be held back by civil strife to regain the occupied border areas. Lan
As the Taizu of the current dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin's prestige was supreme in the Song Dynasty. Even if it was a major event such as the deployment of a large army, the officials responsible for logistics and military affairs could get to work quickly like clockwork. Don't dare to neglect. Therefore, just seven days later, a group of elite legions set off and attacked the border towns occupied by demons one after another.
As for the major cultivation sects with stronger mobility, they had already sent their personnel to various places before the army was launched.
After sending back the information and saying goodbye to Master Changmei, You Longzi quietly returned to the "Dayan Naxu Pure Heaven", lay down in a lake in the north of the cave, and transformed into his true body form of half human and half dragon. The green and gem-like lake water enveloped him, constantly washing his body and mind inside and outside. The Xuanwu constellation in the northern sky of the cave sky was full of stars at this moment, and the starlight mixed with the power of subduing demons merged into the water.
With every breath he takes, a twisted wisp of variegated smoke will be expelled from his body, and then purified by the lake water and starlight. These are the evil spirits of the evil god that were contaminated when he fought against the evil god Rose and his scrolls, and there are even A little bit of Levikung's twisted divine power is mixed in. If it is not purified in time, the consequences will be disastrous.
I sat on the top of the mountain and looked at Yu Longzi in the pool with a blank expression for a while, and then cast my gaze on the demon realm thousands of miles away. The situation on the battlefield between humans and demons has been rewritten by the two clones. I believe that after his strengthening The Song Dynasty and the major sects that have been in the world for many years will definitely seize this opportunity to completely reverse the situation of the war.
At this time, although various cities far away on the border received news of the imperial court's counterattack, they were constantly harassed by demons on weekdays, but they still needed to hold on for a while longer before they could wait for reinforcements. Cultivators who can arrive faster can also provide them with better help.
Zhangye County City, one of the few major cities in the northwestern counties that still held its position after being invaded by the demonic army, is now a major military town in Liangzhou. After Dunhuang, Jiuquan and other places on the front line were conquered by the demon army, a large number of soldiers and civilians fled here, which also brought a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Finally, a strong defense was built, and Zhangye, which was originally located in the heartland area, became the front line. Lan
Even the various cultivation sects living in seclusion in the surrounding areas could not bear the harassment of the demon army and moved to the city one after another. They also made great contributions to the defense of the city. They not only strengthened the defensive formations inside and outside the city, but also added several strong men. As an offering.
At this time, Zhangye County City was in the midst of a siege and defensive battle.
In the wilderness outside the city, countless monsters surrounded Zhangye City, attacking from all sides like ants. The tall barbarian demons lifted up the poorly made ladders and put them on the wall. A low-level demon who was roaring climbed up the city wall on all fours on the ladder. Some impatient ones would even climb directly up the wall.
But often before they could climb up the wall, they would be shot down by rain of arrows and rolling logs and stones from the sky, and become part of the pile of corpses under the city. And these corpses will soon be trampled and eaten by passing demons and monsters, and even turned into casting materials for demon warlocks. The demon warlock himself is relatively fragile, so he must hide under the protection of the flesh golem before entering the battlefield.
But those demon sorcerers who smiled sinisterly and manipulated magic to absorb the flesh and blood souls on the battlefield to cast attack spells. However, when they stretched their bodies out of the golem's defense area and searched for attack targets, they were killed by one or even several powerful weapons. Killed with a spiritually possessed crossbow arrow.
Even if the spell is cast successfully by luck, the flames, ice arrows, and shadow attacks that fall towards the city wall will be blocked by the defensive formation that suddenly appears on the surface of the wall. As for those demons who successfully climbed up the city wall, the elite sword and shield soldiers guarding the city would block the attack with tough demon cowhide shields, and then cut off their heads with sharp enchanted steel knives.
On the ten-foot-high city wall, a Song Dynasty archer with a bow and an arrow was hiding at the edge of the city. Under the command of the commander at the rear, he would regularly launch a rain of arrows into the sky to protect himself. At the same time, it can also kill the demon team that has gathered too much, and cooperate with the city wall sword and shield soldiers to push a steady stream of rolling logs and rocks and the snipers hiding in the dark to shoot the demon warlocks, forming a powerful city defense position. Lan
In the sky, a large number of winged demons circled and swooped down, followed by insect clouds composed of swarms of demonic insects. They either cast innate spells or simply scratched and gnawed, relying on ordinary soldiers. Unable to hit them, he lay on top of the defensive formation floating in the air, wasting away the power of the formation.
The spiritual power reserve of the city defense formation is limited. If the flying demons are allowed to waste away like this, they will no longer have the power to resist the long-range attacks of other demons. Therefore, in the past, the defenders of Zhangye City often activated their formations to resist the first wave of attacks, and then canceled the sky defense, and the archers in the city cooperated with the flying cultivators to kill the flying demons.
