Those who relied on the spirit birds to land on the city wall of Yinmaguan were all masters and elites. Ordinary soldiers from Dongxia and Qinghe were still in formation on the city, seemingly waiting for the city gate to open.
A large number of masters gathered at the city gate of Yinma Pass to launch a fierce attack on the Taichu Army guarding the city gate. The Taichu Army had already prepared and deployed heavy troops to guard the city gate. There were even four master masters sitting on guard. This was the only one in the Yinma Pass except Yang Wenzhong. All Grandmaster combat power.
However, the masters on the siege side had an absolute advantage in numbers. Qinghe Army Commander Qianlu Sanlang, Red Flame Army Commander Qin Ming, Beast King Valley Master Beast Controller Shen Gongshi and many other masters suppressed the four masters. He couldn't breathe, and the situation at the city gate was precarious.
Yang Wenzhong shouted loudly: "Taichu's subordinates obey the order and guard the city gate!"
The soldiers of the Taichu Army received the order and flocked to the city gate under the leadership of Yang Wenzhong. Although the Yinma Pass defenders did not have an advantage in high-end combat power, they were superior in numbers. After all, the masters who landed in the city with the help of spiritual birds were just A small number, the two sides fought fiercely at the city gate, and soon there were many casualties.
Yang Xiaochen, Yang Wenzhong's only son, held a red-tasseled spear and led his men to stop a huge white tiger with a hanging forehead in the chaos.
The white tiger's fur was shiny, silvery, and its eyes were red. Every bite, claw strike, and collision would cause many casualties. This was actually a master-level spiritual beast.
Sitting on the white tiger's body was a burly man, wearing a tiger-skin coat with an arrogant look on his face. He held a long whip in his hand and matched the movements of the white tiger, also harvesting the lives of Taichu soldiers.
"The guy on White Tiger is not a master. If you kill him, White Tiger may lose control!" Yang Xiaochen's internal energy surged from his spear, blocking one of Bai Hu's slaps. He shouted loudly with a solemn face.
"The one with the highest combat power among you is no more than a Grandmaster, and you still want to kill me. How ridiculous!" Facing the swarming Taichu warriors, the burly man was not afraid, and controlled the white tiger to charge rampantly, knocking down the surrounding soldiers. Everything is broken.
Yang Xiaochen took advantage of the chaos and flew up to stab the burly man. The burly man whipped his whip as fast as lightning and collided with the spear. Yang Xiaochen was pushed back and fell to the ground.
"Dabai, kill this grandmaster first!" The burly man patted the white tiger underneath him. Upon hearing this, the white tiger's eyes flashed fiercely and rushed toward Yang Xiaochen.
Yang Xiaochen's face changed slightly. He could no longer dodge at this time. He held the gun in front of him with both hands and held the two huge front paws of the white tiger.
However, the power possessed by the master-level spiritual beast is so terrifying. Although Yang Xiaochen blocked the giant claw, he was knocked to the ground by the huge impact. The white tiger took advantage of the situation and opened its big mouth to bite Yang Xiaochen to death.
The soldiers around Yang Xiaochen were too late to rescue him. They could only watch as the white tiger bit Yang Xiaochen's head with its bloody mouth.
At the critical moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the nearby shadows, and a red light flashed past.
The white tiger noticed the abnormality and immediately twisted its head to dodge. However, the figure was even faster than the master spirit beast, and a dagger with a flashing red light was inserted into the white tiger's cheek.
The white tiger roared in pain. When it turned its head and looked in the direction where the dagger was stabbed, there was no trace of that person.
Taking advantage of the moment when Bai Hu was stabbed, Yang Xiaochen stood up suddenly and retreated sharply, thus escaping his life.
There was no blood flowing out of the wound on Bai Hu's cheek, but it looked scorched, as if it had been burned by something.
It looked around with a vigilant expression, lowering its body to pounce at any time, panting heavily from time to time, and its two pairs of scarlet eyes as big as copper bells were about to bleed.
"Who?" The burly man's eyes were full of shock. Although Bai Hu was not seriously injured just now, the scary thing was that he didn't even see the sneak attacker clearly.
However, no one answered him, and the attacker seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Unable to find the culprit, the white tiger began to pounce on the surrounding Taichu soldiers like crazy. Yang Xiaochen struggled to stop them, but the gap in strength was too great. In addition to being continuously repelled, he could only watch the robes die tragically in front of him one by one.
In a short period of time, the surrounding area was filled with mutilated and bloody corpses.
Just as the white tiger was killing everyone, the ghostly figure appeared again. The moment the white tiger bit a soldier, it suddenly jumped out, jumped up, and stabbed the burly man on the white tiger's body.
The burly man was shocked and swung his whip at the figure. What the man didn't expect was that the whip hit the figure directly. Before he could be happy, the figure turned into nothingness.
Immediately afterwards, countless figures were flying around, and there were red and blue swords everywhere.
The white tiger wanted to save the savior, and its four beast legs suddenly exerted force and began to flee in all directions. However, under the terrifying offensive of those figures, the long whip wielded by the burly man instantly disintegrated. The next moment, an ice blue dagger slashed across the man's neck. .
The burly man's eyes were full of horror. He covered his neck and stared, desperately trying to take in a breath of air.
However, everything was in vain. Because his trachea was cut, the burly man fell from the white tiger after struggling for a moment and died unexpectedly.
The strange thing is that from beginning to end, not a drop of blood flowed out of the cold wound.
After the monkey killed the man, the white tiger found that his master was dead and immediately went crazy.
This time the monkey did not hide his figure, but fought with Yang Xiaochen against the white tiger.
Sure enough, the white tiger lost the control of the burly man. Although the white tiger was still ferocious, it was rampaging without any rules, and the damage it caused was also sharply reduced, which allowed the monkey and others to stabilize their emotions.
During the fierce battle in the city, Bai Guyan and Qi Guangren were still standing under the city. Bai Guyan said to Qi Guangren in a voice: "It seems that it is not as easy to capture Yinma Pass as sir."
Qi Guangren said calmly: "Just watch, they should have entered the city."
Just after Bai Guhan ordered to attack the city, the defenders in the north of Yinmaguan City suddenly discovered that a large army was marching quickly towards Yinmaguan from the direction of Xuanjian City.
The commander in the north of the city immediately sent someone to report the message to Yang Wenzhong. However, before the messenger arrived in the south of the city, he was killed by the Eastern Xia masters who fell into the city.
More than 100,000 troops quickly came to the city and immediately began to attack the city without stopping.
"Shikigami: Cimu!"
"Shikigami: Drunk Maniac!"
"Shikigami: Suming!"
"Shikigami: Jiuyuanzhi!"
"Shikigami: Lord of the River!"
Five huge spiritual bodies suddenly appeared outside the city. They were all shikigami at the level of Grandmaster Qinghe.
In Yang Wenzhong's mind, the north of Yinma Pass was within his own sphere of influence, and there was no danger. Therefore, the Taichu Army remaining in the south was not only small in number but also not elite.
Faced with the joint attack of the five great masters of shikigami, the soldiers at the entry level and above all took long bows, bent the bows and nocked arrows, and shot arrows injected with internal energy.
Although the internal power has a certain lethality against shikigami, there is a huge difference in strength. These arrows shot at the huge shikigami are just a drop in the bucket and have almost no effect.
Just like when they first broke through Wuwei Pass, the five major shikigami joined forces and quickly destroyed the city wall of Yinma Pass, and a large number of Eastern Xia troops poured into the city.
These soldiers-like troops were the Dongxia soldiers who had been captured by Taichu before and were escorted to the territory of Taichu. These 120,000 surrendered troops turned out to be a surprise force to counterattack Taichu.
When the shikigami bombarded the city wall of Yinma Pass, many of the Eastern Xia troops behind them showed strange expressions. Many of these soldiers were the Eastern Xia troops who were guarding Wuwei Pass at that time. The terrible enemies at the time have now become reliable friendly forces, which can’t help but make people sigh.
Among the guards of the soldiers, there was a young man dressed in luxurious attire. He looked very similar to Bai Guhan, but was slightly older and had a more elegant temperament. He was Bai Lingshuang, the eldest son of the King of Dongxia.
This is the method that Qi Guangren presented to the King of Eastern Xia to defeat the enemy. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Taichu guards, Bai Lingshuang led his masters to sneak into the territory of Taichu to rescue the captured soldiers.
With a large number of masters and the intelligence network established by Qinghe for many years in Taichu, Bai Lingshuang saved all the Dongxia descendants like a snowball with almost no effort.
The future king of the Eastern Xia Dynasty came to the rescue in person, which could rekindle the fighting spirit of the Eastern Xia soldiers who had been demoralized by being captured. The original Jiang soldiers acted as a surprise force and first captured Xuanjian City and then counterattacked Yinma Pass, making Taichu unable to defend themselves.
The city wall was broken. Under Bai Lingshuang's order, the Dongxia Army and Qinghe masters poured into the city. When a general appeared in front of Yang Wenzhong covered in blood, it was already too late.
"Report to the general, a large number of enemy troops attacked from the north. Many terrifying Qinghe shikigami directly destroyed the city wall. The enemy quickly rushed into Yinma Pass, and our brothers simply couldn't withstand it!"
The general roared, and his head was beheaded by the Dongxia army behind him just as he finished.
Yang Wenzhong heard this with bitterness on his face. He had personally participated in the battle of Wuwei Pass, so he naturally knew the horror of Shikigami breaking the city. When the battle reached this point, he knew that Yinma Pass was over.
He cast his gaze into the distance, where the monkey and Yang Xiaochen fought against the white tiger. He shouted: "Go quickly, please!" and then continued to kill the enemy with his sword.
On the battlefield, no one except the monkeys could understand what the Yinma Pass guard meant, and everything was a bit baffling.
The monkey's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Yang Xiaochen. At this time, Yang Xiaochen was fighting the white tiger hard and did not notice him.
Monkey suddenly took action, rushed behind Yang Xiaochen, knocked out Yang Xiaochen with a knife, then picked up Yang Xiaochen and rushed towards the city wall.
The white tiger suddenly lost its target, roared, and searched everywhere but found nothing. It could only massacre the Taichu soldiers next to it.
Under attack from two sides, the Yinma Pass defenders were quickly killed in pieces. A large number of soldiers were killed and captured. It was a completely one-sided situation.
Immediately after the city gate was lost, the gate of Yinma Pass opened wide. Bai Guhan and Qi Guangren looked at each other, and led the crowd into Yinma Pass with a ferocious smile.
Yang Wenzhong, the guard of Yinma Pass, fought bravely to kill the enemy but was ultimately outnumbered. Even the master masters still died miserably among the rebels. All five master masters in the Yinma Pass defenders soon died.
During the chaotic battle, the monkey held Yang Xiaochen and used a hook to jump over the city wall to escape. The enemy troops on the wall tried to stop him but were unable to do so. They could only watch the monkey disappear from sight.
A total of one hour passed from the start to the end of the battle at Yinmaguan Station. Most of the more than 90,000 defenders in the city died in the battle.
After losing their commander, many soldiers chose to surrender when faced with a battle situation from which they could not return. More than 30,000 people were captured. Under the attack, very few defenders could escape from Yinma Pass.
After this battle, Xiaguancheng, Yinmaguan, and Xuanjian City all fell into the hands of the Eastern Xia Army, and the situation of the Taichu Army took a turn for the worse.
