When the desolate horn sound resounded throughout the sky. Hu Zhongyuan also woke up from his deep sleep instinctively, shook his head, and strode to the tower of the stone castle.
Over the past few months, it has become an instinct. Even if you have drums beating in your ears during the day, you can still fall asleep soundly. But as soon as the sun sets, you can wake up.
Along the way, countless soldiers were seen. Under the command of their respective commanders, they lined up and marched to the city wall in an orderly manner.
Many of them are new recruits who have arrived in the past two days. However, after experiencing the battle last night, the confusion in his eyes when he first came was no longer there.
But there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.
Hu Zhongyuan shook his head slightly and stood still on the tower with a golden sword.
Observing the battlefield from here, it can be seen that the remaining 90 or so stone forts on this line are already well prepared.
This should be the time when he is in the strongest position since March! Zong Lan and Ren Tianxing searched for all the elite troops from the west of Huizhou to come back for reinforcements. Riding beasts instead of running around day and night, they finally caught up. Within six days, they brought an army of more than one million people to the foot of Qixia Mountain.
The number of soldiers gathered here reached 2.4 million in one fell swoop.
His left wing alone commanded fifty military towns!
Although they are all surrendered soldiers, some have two minds and some are extremely resentful towards Qian Tianshan.
However, he is confident that he can unite his forces in the Central Plains. Using the veterans of hundreds of battles as their bones, these people can maintain sufficient combat power.
Fighting in March. Not only his martial arts skills were improved through hard battles.
Commanding the army is gradually becoming more comfortable!
Looking across the way, he saw the approaching Night Demon army formation. Hu Zhongyuan suddenly heard a loud roar, but only a moment passed. The mountain is swaying at your feet, making your steps almost unsteady.
The sound shook people's eardrums deeply. It spreads for more than a hundred miles and still continues to spread.
At this time, not only the soldiers under his command looked at the place where the sound echoed in astonishment. Even the Night Demon on the opposite side looked dazed.
Hu Zhongyuan squinted his eyes. Looking back. No need to guess. Knowing that this was Kong Yao, he had completely destroyed the only gorge leading to the hinterland of Huizhou, which was more than dozens of miles away.
From then on, the foot of Qixia Mountain was a place of death. There are more than two million people here, and there is no way to retreat or escape!
He didn't care in his heart. He was determined to die, so naturally he didn't care if there was a way out.
Something to worry about. Just these subordinates of my own.
But after he took a look around, he felt certain in his heart.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about the elite from the headquarters of Qiantian Mountain.
The conditions of the rest of the surrendered troops were better than he expected.
It is said that the woman had informed the whole army about this matter a day ago.
Although there were voices of dissatisfaction and complaints at that time, I was already prepared. When the matter came to an end, there was no longer any panic as when I first heard that my retreat was cut off.
The faces of many soldiers were stiff and cold at this moment, full of deathly despair. He held the weapon in his hand almost numbly.
This is knowing that he will definitely die, but instead he is determined.
Many people subconsciously glanced at the top of Qixia Mountain.
From that direction, a group of shining golden light entered the eyes. Only then did the eyes of these people become a little angry.
Although the "left army is on guard" has cut off everyone's retreat. But he also said that even if she died in this battle today, she would not take a step back!
Hu Zhongyuan smiled "Hey", feeling a little admired in his heart.
This woman's grasp of people's hearts is simply at its peak!
At this time, although most of the tribes under his command had given up hope of survival, they also all had the intention of committing suicide.
Even if the newly arrived troops surrender, they will not worry about not fighting.
This Huizhou is, after all, the place where these people are raised.
On the contrary, it should have nothing to do with them—
Squinting his eyes, Hu Zhongyuan was waiting in a leisurely manner. Until Chai Zhou stood beside him.
"Something's not right today, it seems like they're going to do their best over there -"
At a glance, he saw a phalanx of more than a hundred thousand night demons, neatly arranged twenty miles in front.
The momentum today is indeed a little different. Those eyes were filled with redness early on. The formation was fierce and orderly, but the fighting spirit was fierce.
The most surprising thing is that in the past, the hundreds of thousands of fourth-level elites that Najia Minluo always cherished have been placed on the front line.
Hu Zhongyuan smiled indifferently: "So what if it's different? Before three months, the night demon's two million army couldn't defeat us. So what can we do if we fight hard now?"
But with a little worry, he looked to the right.
The only person who is uneasy is the Chinese army, which bears the most pressure in this battle.
Kong Yao unexpectedly gave Ren Tianxing, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, who was originally in charge of Zong Yuan.
Not only did it free the Bloody Cloud Cavalry, it also completely liberated them. It also allowed Zong Yuan to concentrate on commanding the 300,000 elite cavalry.
But can that kid really do it
I feel a little bit more disgusted in my heart. He is a tiger in the Central Plains, but it took him many years to achieve his current status in the army.
But Ren Tianxing, in just one year, had already become a general in the field and was deeply trusted by Zong Shou.
"Ren Tianxing's ability to use troops makes even You Dujian admire him. There must be a reason to say you are not as good as him! Why do you need to worry about him? Just take care of yourself - "
Chai Zhou sneered, with a sarcastic tone. Immediately afterwards, the voice condensed slightly again.
"here we go!"
Hu Zhongyuan snorted dissatisfiedly, then raised his eyebrows.
What he saw were hundreds of large ballistae being pushed out from the Night Demon Army. In just a moment, hundreds of crossbow arrows flew into the sky.
There are also nearly three hundred giant artillery vehicles painted with runes at the rear, projecting hundreds of black spheres.
Whenever it falls, a vast purple-black thunder light explodes, covering a hundred feet of land.
Within this range, almost all the soldiers touched below the fourth level will be torn into pieces. The spiritual formation in the stone castle is constantly shaking and seems to be overwhelmed.
However, Hu Zhongyuan didn't care and stood firm.
Sure enough, just a moment later, the giant crossbow on the top of the mountain had already started to fight back.
The nine-armed spiritual crossbow was snatched from Wei Hai, and a lot of it was damaged, but there were still seventy of them. Including the ninth-level Yuan Mie crossbow from Qiantian, the total number reached more than two hundred.
Although the number is slightly smaller, it can have a longer range because it is on the top of the mountain. In just a moment, the arrogance of the ballista and gun carriage on the opposite side was suppressed.
But in this way, these ninth-level killing weapons were all restrained. There is no need to count on the future of the battle.
Hu Zhongyuan's expression was dull, as if this situation had been repeated many times in the past three months.
The Night Demon general on the opposite side seemed to know that it was impossible to destroy the opposite defense line with just the power of this device. About half a quarter of an hour later, rows of square formations began to move forward.
Hu Zhongyuan also smacked it coldly, holding the tiger sword in his hand.
From the first glance, he knew that the rest were all feints to distract the troops under his command.
The real breakthrough point of choice was the stone castle he was standing on at the moment.
This is the most dilapidated and fragile place among the more than twenty stone fortresses on the left wing—
But he is full of fighting spirit. It is precisely because he knows that this fort is the most dangerous that he will stand here and direct the war.
Today we will see if these night demons are capable enough to step over his corpse!
At this time, the spiritual master hiding deep in the stone castle was already relying on the altar to perform spiritual magic. I saw countless light spots falling down in the starry sky. They were meteorites the size of millstones, covering the Night Demon battle formation ahead.
But in the opponent's formation, nearly forty seventh-level experts immediately flew up to smash these meteorites one by one.
Only in the end, some fish slipped through the net, causing some chaos and casualties in the Night Demon battle formation.
The counterattack from the opposite side also followed. Hundreds of red fireballs boiled over. It exploded under the city wall, causing the city wall to shake.
The corners of Hu Zhongyuan's lips raised, and he suddenly flew up to a height of a hundred feet.
With one slash of the sword, the whole person seemed to transform into a tiger. The shape of a white tiger was vaguely visible on the blade and arms.
This sword is Tiger Tyrant Qianqiu!
The Iron Tiger clan is one of the direct descendants of the White Tiger. Wherever the sword strikes, it is extremely sharp!
It is not the inheritance of Hu Qianqiu, but he created it by studying the platinum dragon sword that Zong Shou left in the Qiantian Library.
So far, there are only three postures, but they can kill everything and destroy everything!
Wherever the sword light passed, there was a sharp roar. Two seventh-level night demons fell from the sky almost on the spot, blood was scattered everywhere, and they made no sound.
However, more counterattacks also came towards him. Hu Zhongyuan didn't care and dodged while retreating quickly.
Only when there is no way to avoid it, will the Tiger Saber in his hand be swung, cutting off the lights and shadows of the swords one by one.
Sure enough, just when he was about to run out of strength, a giant ax and several powerful beams of light came across the sky. Following him, he safely returned to the Stone Castle Spiritual Formation.
"***, you tiger cat, even if you want to die, don't choose this time!"
Chai Zhou immediately cursed. He was afraid in his heart. If a ninth-level night demon had just attacked him, this guy might not be able to come back.
Hu Zhongyuan smiled "hey" and looked at the knife in his hand.
The battlefield is truly the most grueling place.
A few years ago, I was addicted to wine, sex, and the glitz of Qiantian Mountain. At that time, my ambition was gradually fading, and I never thought that I would ever reach the seventh level!
As for the elite of Zhigantian Headquarters, there are countless people who have broken through their original realm these days.
Speaking of which, that person should have reached the peak of the eighth level at this time!
"What are you afraid of? There are Blood Cloud Cavalry and Zong Yuan's iron cavalry. I don't believe that Jia Siluo dares to put all the real strong players here."
When Chai Zhou heard the sound, he also looked aside. I saw a huge cavalry army standing quietly on a flat ground about dozens of miles away.
There is no stone castle to cover it, no spiritual formation to protect it. But it made the dozens of Night Demon formations on the opposite side look alert and ready!
