The north wind is like a knife, blowing up thousands of piles of snow.
Due to the life-threatening collision of the war giant, cracks on the surface of the towering city wall spread quickly like a spider web, and the smoke and snow mist-filled city wall shook the sky.
Under the control of the second prince, the city defense formation successfully killed a thick-headed ice beast colossus during the attack, but the impact of the last bear-shaped colossus directly shattered the overloaded Nancheng formation.
The tactical goal of the barbarian alien king at the expense of the three-headed ice colossus has been achieved.
Although the mountain-like city wall has not been completely destroyed, the entire city defense formation in the south of the city has been completely paralyzed.
What's more important is that the corpse of the war colossus dumped on the city wall directly became a natural trestle leading to the city gate tower.
The forward troops of the barbarians divided into two groups and attacked the city and the bombed Arc de Triomphe like evil wolves.
The two armies came into contact instantly.
The condensed totems of the barbarians and the condensed shadows of the halberds of the Great Yan army kept intertwining and colliding, causing roars.
In a war of this scale, most high-level cultivators dare not show their faces.
But at this critical moment, there will still be high-level cultivators who risk their lives and take action, killing a large area of enemy troops and then escaping in an instant.
Naturally, this included Zhou Chen, who was forcibly deployed to defend the city.
Zhou Chen pulled out the jade sword from his back, and just used his martial arts to kill a group of barbarian soldiers who had climbed onto the city wall to stand firm and wait for follow-up reinforcements. Just as he was about to run away, he felt that his aura was locked.
Subsequently,
It was too late but too soon, a white tiger totem shot directly towards him from the snow smoke under the city!
It was so fast that even he had no time to dodge.
Zhou Chen's pupils shrank, and the dark Daoyun sword that had been prepared flashed and he swung it towards the giant tiger's shadow.
"boom!"
Two violent sources of energy collided with each other on the city tower, and a large crater appeared on the city wall.
And Zhou Chen couldn't bear the force. The moment the roar sounded, he turned into an afterimage and fell rapidly towards the city. It smashed through several buildings and sent a cloud of smoke into the city. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
And this is just a part of the entire war.
Every minute, no, every second, countless Yanren and barbarians died in this meat grinder. The bone spurs pierced the heart, the spiritual blade cut off the head, and the bright red and black blood flowed through Nancheng at an extremely fast speed. spread
Even though they shouted to kill Zhentian, countless barbarians had already attached themselves to the city wall, and the city gate tower, as the largest stronghold in the southern city, was still as stable as a mountain.
Yuan Hao ignored the fighting below because he had no time to pay attention to it at the moment.
His eyes were fixed on the looming figure of the last war giant of the barbarians.
A good general can always quickly analyze the biggest threat on the battlefield.
Nowadays, the situation in the south city is indeed in danger, but the biggest threat is not the barbarians who attack the city, nor the barbarians who enter the city through the triumphal gate, but the last surviving war colossus.
Without the attack means of the city defense formation, the defensive equipment on the city wall would not be able to cause fatal damage to the war colossus. Once the war colossus arrived under the southern city,
Most of the city wall might be destroyed by that beast.
Once the city wall is destroyed, the entire southern city will be undefendable.
Once the War Colossus enters the city, the chain reaction will directly lead to the complete loss of Beifeng City.
No need to fight in the streets.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and a trace of solemnity flashed across Yuan Hao's delicate face.
His Highness Wu Yuan gave him 30,000 sect border troops to command, so he did not use his own black scale army.
Nowadays, most of the defenders above the city are sect frontier troops, and he only sent a small number of middle-level non-commissioned officers to enforce organizational discipline among them.
As for his Black Scale Army, they formed a military formation in the city and served as the supervising team.
Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!
Some of them are considerations of preserving strength, and some are considerations of the overall situation.
A very simple truth,
If the Black Scale Army and these frontier troops were allowed to defend the city together on the city wall, regardless of the different martial arts and the inability to form a joint military formation, the important thing is that the morale of the Black Scale Army could easily be defeated by this group of pigs.
Once they are defeated, the entire battle in Nancheng will be completely ruined.
And if the Black Scale Army is allowed to hold on from the front, once the Black Scale Army suffers too many casualties while defending the city and needs to retreat, it would be simply wishful thinking to rely on these second-line sect side troops to recapture the city gate.
However, after the war started, the development of the war situation was somewhat beyond Yuan Hao's expectations.
The exhaustive strategy only exists in drawing books.
Although Yuan Hao made a lot of preparations before the war, he never expected that the smoke and dust released by the "blocking sun" and the snow mist rising from the snow would actually play a "reassurance pill" for the sect's frontier troops defending the city.
In a haze with blocked vision,
People can only see the area in front of them. Even if someone is afraid of death and wants to escape, others who are fighting to the death cannot see it.
During the red-eye killing stage, he was actually in a stalemate with these menacing barbarians for a while.
It was an unexpected surprise.
Thinking of this, Yuan Hao looked at the giant war statue running towards the city wall like a trembling mountain, and tightened his grip on the sword slightly.
A decision needs to be made.
He must lead the Black Scale Army out of the city to kill the remaining colossus.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Hao glanced back at the black scale army preparing to go out under the city.
There is a high probability that this trip out of the city will lead to a narrow escape, and there is no guarantee of success, but he must do it, otherwise it will be a narrow escape.
Making a decision in his heart, Yuan Hao didn't pause at all, and immediately said solemnly to the side of him, the deputy general assigned to him by Li Qingyan, a middle-aged strong man with a beard, who was also the commander of the sect's 30,000 frontier troops:
"No matter what method you use, Lieutenant Qing, you must use your soldiers to defend the city wall."
Vice General Qing frowned slightly when he heard this.
He can see the overall situation clearly, so he is trying his best to control the military formation and maintain the defense line of the city wall.
But seeing the overall situation clearly did not affect his dislike of the Yuan Commander.
As the eye of the formation that maintains the frontier army's formation, Qing Genglan can clearly sense that every moment now, countless brothers under his command have disappeared forever.
Why?
Why is it that your Yuan Hao's Black Scale Army is supervising the battle at the rear, while his brothers are fighting on the front line?
After a moment of silence, Vice Admiral Qing still cupped his hands and gritted his teeth and said:
"This is natural. The black scale guards led by Yuan are supervising the battle in the rear. Naturally, my soldiers dare not retreat."
Yuan Hao looked at Vice General Qing and said calmly:
"Don't feel unbalanced, I will personally take the Black Scale Guard out of the city immediately."
Vice General Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He could naturally see the battle situation clearly and subconsciously glanced at the mountain-like shadow a few miles away:
"Out of the city? Are you going out of the city to kill that giant statue?"
Yuan Hao smiled, as if chatting:
"Vice General Qing, you should know very well that if we don't kill the giant statue, we will all die here."
The words fell,
The two generals on the city gate were silent for a moment.
The biting hurricane roared past, but the screams of death no longer had the chill in the sky.
After a few seconds, Yuan Hao, who didn't get a reply, turned around and left.
The fighter plane cannot be delayed.
And at this time,
Qing Genglan, with his eyes downcast, suddenly said loudly behind Yuan Hao:
"Now the reserve reinforcements in the city will arrive soon, and Qing will organize an army of soldiers to clear the way for you, Commander Yuan."
Yuan Hao paused slightly and looked back in surprise.
Qing Genglan smiled with his unshaven mouth:
"Commander Yuan, we don't agree with each other if we have different paths. We were not on the same road before, and we may even be able to fight against each other in the future.
"But at this moment,
"I think we should be considered colleagues."
A moment of silence,
Yuan Hao took a deep look at the unshaven middle-aged man, chuckled and shook his head:
"You're pretty good. I'll be gentler in the future."
After all,
He jumped off the tower directly.
When Qing Genglan heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he spat in the direction where Yuan Hao left:
"Damn it, a brat is so crazy, let's survive first."
After that, he used the military formation technique and began to gather the soldiers in the inner city.
If the battle on the city wall was a millstone of flesh and blood, then the bombed Arc de Triomphe was an out-and-out meat grinder.
The barbarians used the power of the dead colossus to invade the city and established a bridgehead, but the Great Yan army formation that was waiting solemnly had already surrounded the place.
The barbarians want to hold on to this bridgehead in the city and continue to spread, while Dayan wants to destroy this bridgehead.
Both sides continued to suffer casualties and continued to invest troops.
The violent collision caused chaos in the energy in the air. The bones of both sides piled up like mountains, but they were instantly beaten into flesh and blood mud by the shadow of the powerful military formation and splashed all over the sky. The city walls and ground were covered with red and black flesh and blood, and the stench reached the sky.
If you die here, leaving your whole body is just a hope.
If nothing goes wrong, the flesh-and-blood millstone here will continue until a certain side runs out of soldiers, or is too damaged and retreats on its own.
But something unexpected happened quickly.
Because in addition to this magnificent Arc de Triomphe, two of the remaining three giant gates in the southern city are being slowly lifted up.
The barbarian troops waiting under the city were stunned when they saw this scene, but soon some grassroots leaders realized that this was a sign that Yan Ren was going to leave the city.
The strong military skills allowed the barbarian elite to form a temporary defense line the moment the city gate was completely opened, ready to rush in reversely at any time and expand the meat grinder under the city wall.
The heavy cavalry wearing frontier armor pushed forward desperately to clear the way, and the heavy infantry followed and advanced towards the two wings.
Progress is rapid.
But again, because the soldiers who formed the military formation were all eighth- and ninth-level warriors, this advance almost only lasted less than half a quarter of an hour, and the barbarians outside the city stabilized their position within a mile.
A medium-sized military formation composed of ten thousand people is composed of small military formations formed by groups of soldiers that are interlocking and echoing each other.
Under the stranglehold of the barbarian army outside the city, each small military formation quickly collapsed, and the medium-sized military formation composed of an army of 10,000 people began to shake.
"The Yanren army is about to collapse!"
"These Yan people still dare to leave the city and counterattack into the city!"
"For the king! For the ancestor god! Attack the city for me!"
The barbarians' shouts one after another heralded the beginning of their counterattack.
But at this moment,
The sound of rumbling hoofs came suddenly, and a black torrent pierced out from the city gate with an unstoppable force.
Yuan Hao, who was dressed in a black-scale commander's armor, rode a black-scale wildebeest, leading the way. He looked at the crumbling frontier army formation around him and chuckled with amusement:
"Tsk tsk. If you lose 30% of the small military formation, you won't be able to maintain the formation. For the sake of being a pretty good person, Yuan will personally give you a treat in the future."
After all,
He shouted:
"Qing Genglan, get out of my way. If you can't move, let your soldiers follow me!"
on the city wall,
Qing Genglan cursed slightly tiredly, but still obeyed the other party's words, letting the sharp frontier heavy cavalry make way for the Black Scale Army, and at the same time roared:
"Prepare the bed crossbow, help me clear the way for this grandson, fight!"
The Black Scale Heavy Cavalry also took over the opponent's position.
Yuan Hao took the lead. Under the blessing of the military formation, he opened and closed the halberd in his hand. Every time he swung the light blade, he could kill a dozen tall barbarians in front of him.
The hot black blood splashed on his face, making his delicate face distorted with excitement.
Like a sharp spearhead, it broke into the barbarian army formation and charged towards the mountain-like beast.
Even though there were only two thousand in number, and even though the army's attrition rate surged due to sudden killings, the Black Scaled Cavalry still kept moving forward.
"For the ancestor god, for the king."
"brush!"
A strike of the halberd split a three-foot-tall barbarian in half, and the black blood splashed on the ground. Yuan Hao was about to raise his head to look at the huge black figure.
A hoarse voice echoed across the main battlefield:
"Death to me!"
"Buzz——"
A golden blade flashed across the sky and struck directly at the black shadow of the giant statue in the distance with a breath that blocked the sky!
"Roar!!!!"
The giant war statue with huge goat horns screamed in pain that was earth-shattering. A huge scar visible to the naked eye directly destroyed one of its legs!
The huge body fell to the ground with a crash, and the entire plain ground near Beifeng City shook violently!
And the next moment,
A harsh and deafening voice followed:
"Wu Yuan! Since you dare to come, then leave it to me!"
between words,
A huge phantom of the Barbarian God appeared directly out of thin air, and slapped the beautiful figure rising into the air.
“BOOM!!!!”
Qianying, who was supported by Yulin's elite military formation, took the palm directly and set off a hurricane to completely blow away the surrounding smoke and snow mist!
Yuan Hao was still inevitably stunned for a moment by the huge changes that occurred on the flanks of the rebel army.
"Commander Yuan!"
While he was stunned, several giant crossbow arrows were already shooting at him, and two personal guards fell from their horses in order to block the arrows for him.
Concentrating his mind and continuing to charge, Yuan Hao understood what was happening at this moment. Because of the blessing of the military formation, his body overflowing with vitality began to tremble uncontrollably due to excitement.
His master had told him.
To be a general, one can become a good general if he has strong military strength and defeats the enemy.
A man with similar military strength who defeats the enemy is called an extraordinary general.
A general who defeats the enemy with a weak army is a famous general.
Only those whose military strength is invincible and who defeat the enemy can be passed down through the ages.
He realized what the princess wanted to do.
Make an attack in the east and attack in the west, lure the enemy to attack, use the city cover to eliminate some of the strength gap, and concentrate most of the elites to take the enemy by surprise and fight decisively.
Yuan Hao likes killing, but he also likes the thrill of defeating the enemy with his life hanging by a thread:
"Madman. Hahahaha! No wonder His Highness Wu Yuan transferred Qing Genglan to me as his deputy! Black scale army, follow me to charge and cut the battlefield! Join the army with the princess!!!"
And just at this moment,
A series of ferocious roars came from behind the towering Beifeng City Wall, and hundreds of huge flying monsters belonging to the Black Scale Army crossed the city wall and galloped towards the barbarian rear army!
On the chaotic battlefield, dozens of monster beasts were knocked down by the barbarians in a matter of breaths. They fell to the ground and set off a puff of smoke, but even so, a small number of monster beasts still flew to the predetermined location.
In an instant,
Countless source crystal bombs poured down, directly blocking the reinforcements from the barbarian rear army to the front army!
A bit late, or?
