War is bloody and cruel.
Either you die or I die.
The defenders of Qingshi Pass can also be called elites. They were driven to death by their generals, but they were able to move forward regardless of their own safety.
This was also a helpless move. I was forced to push up by the people behind...
The Xichang sergeants who stormed the city wall were restrained and squeezed to the point where they could not move. People on the outermost edge continued to fall down, and the area occupied was shrinking bit by bit.
Air force support is urgently needed.
But the air force is precious, and its bravery is far inferior to that of the insignificant infantry. They dare not charge into the range of the arrow rain. They just rush to a stone's throw away with bluff, then raise their height, flying around and making noise.
It seems very busy and lively, but it doesn't have much effect on the battle situation at all.
Air support is poor.
Xichang Yuanying was dissatisfied, and a group of golden elixirs behind him hurriedly came on the scene in person, gathering various spells in their hands, rushing down with their swords, and smashed into the city.
In particular, the arrow towers were hit by fireballs one after another and burned. Some sergeants who were hit by the fireballs were covered in fire and jumped from the air. They jumped into the enemy troops quite bravely and ignited in the crowd of Xichang troops, causing the towers to burn. There was a commotion in the crowd.
Another fireball technique was thrown into the crowd of defenders, igniting a large area of people.
"Get out of the way and rush into the enemy..."
The sergeant who was ignited by the fire, whether he wanted to or not, could only rush into the enemy soldiers and die together with the enemy.
As a result, the soldiers of the Xichang Army who climbed onto the city wall were squeezed and fell off the city wall. The defenders rushed forward and forced everyone off the city wall.
The Xichang Jindan who used the fireball technique was a little angry. As if he was helping the enemy, he gathered another fireball technique like the scorching sun in his hand. He rushed down with his sword and wanted to hit the crowd on the city wall again. .
But at this time, a figure stepped over and punched him, hitting him on a ladder. The fireball spell ignited the ladder, causing the Xichang sergeants on the ladder to jump off again...
This person who came out of the air is the guard of Qingshi Pass.
This person turned out to be a heaven-level person, which surprised Zhou Xiaozhou.
I thought he was just an ordinary general. He was humiliated by a group of foundation-building minions and didn't take any action. He kept it secret.
It can also be said that people are very generous and don't bother to get angry with ants, so as not to dirty their hands.
Or it could be to use the opponent as a target for military training, and Ci does not control the troops.
Anyway, he was too lazy to do anything to those in the Foundation Establishment stage, and those in the Golden Core stage could barely catch his eye.
Sitting in an important level, it is impossible to do it without some ability.
"Finally it's out."
The two Nascent Souls in Xichang were waiting for him, and they immediately attacked together, two against one.
After killing the guard, you will naturally capture Qingshi Pass.
The guard did not want to fight in the pass to avoid affecting his own people, so he lured the two Nascent Soul-level immortal cultivators away in a flash.
Tianjie walked away and the battle continued.
With air force support, the Xichang army once again rushed up from the ladders, jumped into the city wall, and re-attacked the city.
There were originally four ladders, but this time only three were available.
This time the defenders were more prepared, and it was more difficult to stand still. They often jumped to death and were stabbed to death with random spears and hacked to death with knives.
It is difficult for the monks in the foundation-building stage to play a big role in such a battle. They can only harass and contain them.
The situation is different in the golden elixir stage, and the threat is still great.
The golden elixir monk wields a sword very quickly, and it is difficult to hit with a crossbow, and the spell is very powerful, and you will die if you hit him.
More than a dozen Jindan monks from the Xichang Protectorate Sect came and went, quite like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, and they could kill many people when they rushed down.
But it was not without casualties. There were also many powerful warriors in the army. Once their flight altitude was too low, they became the targets of attacks. They were torn off their flying swords and killed in hand-to-hand or group beatings.
Although the Immortal Cultivators are air force and have a clear advantage, they do not have a crushing advantage. Facing an elite army, there will still be a lot of casualties.
The defenders threw a lot of kerosene on the ladders, lit them with rockets, and burned three more ladders. The siege slowly came to a halt.
Without the infantry to attack the city, Xichang's air force became more aggressive and refused to give up.
The Protectorate Sect almost used all its strength to attack the city, but not only failed to capture it, but also suffered a lot of casualties. They couldn't afford to lose face like this!
Although their casualties were less than a fraction of the casualties of the defenders, the air force was supported by the entire nation, and such an outcome was a huge failure.
The Jindan monks suffered several casualties and were unable to explain.
These sword masters were still flying around and refused to retreat.
In other words, no one dared to give the order to retreat, since the two Nascent Souls had not returned yet.
Some disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage are struggling. They are very tired from coming all the way here, and they still have to wait in line for a long time, and they keep flying back and forth. Their mana consumption is serious, and their physical strength is even more serious. They have to work for most of the day without stopping. .
Tired!
When the body is tired, the ability to dodge crossbows is reduced, and even if you perform a more difficult aerial action, you can fall off the flying sword.
Casualties will only increase.
Even if it takes the whole country to cultivate a foundation-building monk, it will cost a lot of resources, and money is expensive.
Especially losing a flying sword is not worth it more than losing a person.
If the Flying Sword is there, there will be someone to replace it. If the Flying Sword is gone, there will be one less air force. It's like there are many pilots but no fighter jets to fly.
It takes a whole country to get a flying sword, it is not easy to buy, and the speed of making it is slow.
Zhou Xiaozhou doesn't know how to shoot arrows, so for long-distance attacks, he can only play with water archery. He can freeze the arrows with water and turn them into ice, which he can use to sneak attack on the enemy.
But such a technique is difficult and far-reaching. It can only be shot dozens of meters away, which is not as far as an ordinary bow and arrow.
He didn't dare to fly with his sword, so he could only hide among the soldiers and wait for a better opportunity.
Opportunity, as long as you wait patiently, you will always get it. A Xichang Jindan sword flew up and hit his group of people with fireballs. Everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Zhou Xiaozhou was also busy avoiding. The distance between the two sides was getting closer. He threw a water arrow at him. He raised the height in time, but chased him over.
"Junior, you must die."
A sergeant jumped up suddenly, trying to tear him off the flying sword.
The golden elixir monk lit up a flame in his hand, slapped the sergeant with his palm, and set him on fire.
But the sergeant still grabbed his arm and held on tightly, wanting to drag him down to die together.
The golden elixir monk shook him several times, but he couldn't shake it off. He slapped him with another angry hand. Zhou Xiaozhou seized this opportunity. While he was entangled with the sergeant, he shot the three-inch flying sword fiercely. He is behind the scenes.
Killed the Jindan monk again.
The fight continued until Yu Kongfei, the guard of Qingshi Pass, came back, but the two Xichang Nascent Souls did not follow. The people of the Protectorate Sect were so frightened that they retreated quickly.
Is this a one versus two fight and you still win?
At least you didn't lose, otherwise the opponent would definitely chase you.
Zhou Xiaozhou didn't expect this guard to be so powerful. He really couldn't underestimate anyone.
It's no wonder that the imperial court didn't send reinforcements to Qingshi Pass because it thought that with this person here, Qingshi Pass would not be lost so easily.
