And Mu Hanyan, the fifth prince, and a group of guards from the aristocratic families still stood firmly at the top of the city, never letting the beasts get over the thunder.
On the opposite side of Qingyang Pass, there was also the loud thunder of war drums, but Tantaixuan and others standing at the top of the city were full of ecstasy.
When the huge herd of beasts began to appear, they really broke into a cold sweat, but then they realized that something was wrong.
Most of the strange beasts attacked Beining Pass, and only one out of ten actually attacked Qingyang Pass. Like Beining Pass, Qingyang Pass also has trebuchets and cloud-piercing gravel bows. Under the repeated heavy blows from the rain of boulders and arrows, more than half of the strange beasts, which were less than two thousand, were killed or injured after rushing halfway. There were even more casualties. In the end, only hundreds of strange beasts came under the pass, and they didn't come up all at once, but in groups of three or four intermittently, and each time they added up to no more than a hundred.
Although Tantaixuan's team had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, there were only about 900 young children from the five great families who were still able to fight a battle, and there were only about 900 of the more than 100 holy court elites he brought with him. There are more than 70 people, but there are more than 1,000 people in total, and there are more than 1,000 soldiers in Qingyang Pass, plus those cultivators temporarily recruited from the common people, there are still more than 3,000 people in total .
With 3,000 people against a hundred alien beasts, and they are still defending the city, they certainly have the upper hand. Tan Taixuan finally found a chance to be elated, and led the crowd to hack several times, beheading all the strange beasts rushing to the pass.
It has to be said that as a deacon of the imperial court, Tan Taixuan is indeed outstanding. Although the strength is only the ninth level of swordsman, which is far behind Mu Hanyan, the sword skills passed down by the Holy See are also extremely exquisite. If you let go of your fear and attack with all your strength, your combat power is still quite amazing. Compared with other masters of the same level, Even stronger than those young elites under him who are also ninth-rank sword masters.
In this battle, most of the beasts died in his hands alone, and his record was as good as dozens of others.
"Hahahaha, it turns out that these strange beasts are nothing more than that, they are vulnerable to a single blow." The depression accumulated in his chest for a long time was swept away, and Tantaixuan laughed loudly.
At this time, his whole body was covered with blood, and when he laughed wildly, his hair danced with the wind, which was quite heroic.
"That's right. A few days ago, the adults believed that the gods have the virtue of good life, and they repeatedly let them live, but they didn't know what to do, and dared to offend me at Qingyang Pass. They really brought their own death." Mo Yanhong flattered and said .
"Brother Yanhong's words are justified. Lord Tantai has finally let go of his compassionate heart. It's gratifying. Now that he's showing his might, I see those strange beasts dare to cross my Qingyang pass half a step!" Elder Sun Yi'an shook the broken Folding fan, pretending to be scheming and said.
Behind him, Fang Zihe almost spit it out. As long as he is not blind, no one can see that the reason why they defend Qingyang Pass so easily is because the main force of the alien beasts are all attacking Beining Pass. How could they even say such shameless words? I can tell, but I still have to be shameless.
Let alone him, even the guards blushed.
"Lord Tantai, the situation at Beining Pass is critical, why don't we allocate some people to help them," Fang Zihe said.
"How could you tell that the situation at Beining Pass is critical, I think they handled it easily?" Tan Taixuan frowned and said displeasedly.
"That's right, the other Young Master Mu is a great swordsman, and he also has a superb skill of controlling beasts. Haven't you seen those sword pets like Yan Yi and He Qingzong? With such a strong strength, we need our help?" Momo Yanhong said in a strange way.
"Zihe, don't talk too much. Our task is to stick to Qingyang Pass, and we must not act rashly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, can you afford it?" Changsun Yi'an knocked on the broken fan in his hand, heavily Said.
"Fang Zihe, I think you'd better take care of yourself. You're actually meddling in other people's affairs, Mu Hanyan. You're beyond your control." Song Yu and the others echoed Fang Zihe's cynicism.
Fang Zihe's face was ashen. Although he wanted to help Mu Hanyan, he was helpless. If he led someone to attack without authorization, he would be squeezed out by the other four great families in the future, and he might end up as someone who is not human. In the end, after weighing again and again, he could only retreat, but he no longer wanted to see the dirty faces of these people.
"Lord Tantai, in my opinion, Young Master Fang's words are somewhat reasonable. Although Beining Pass seems to be able to hold at this time, the number of strange beasts is really too many, and it will be detrimental to Beining Pass if it is delayed for too long." As the saying goes, if Beining Pass falls, we will not be able to hold on to Qingyang Pass. Taking advantage of this time, alien beasts are aggressively invading Beining Pass, and we assign some people to attack from behind. With one move, these strange beasts..." The general guarding the Qingyang Pass couldn't stand it any longer, and said bluntly.
"General Chen, if you think we are in the way, at worst we will withdraw from Qingyang Pass, then just do whatever you want." Before he could finish speaking, Tantaixuan said coldly.
General Chen was so choked by him that he couldn't even speak. He didn't have the status of the fifth prince, how could he dare to offend the deacons of the holy court, not to mention that Tan Taixuan and the elite children of the five great families have not performed well these days, but Without their help, it would not be easy to defend Qingyang Pass with only these defenders, so I dare not offend him.
Seeing that Tan Taixuan was determined not to make a move, he could only swallow the persuasion words forcefully.
As a result, there was such a strange influence on both sides of the canyon. On one side, Beining Pass was raging with flames of war, while on the other side, Qingyang Pass was peaceful. Tan Taixuan, eldest grandson Yi'an, Mo Yanhong and the others looked at the bloody figures facing each other, with cold smiles showing on the corners of their mouths.
As the general Chen said, although Beining Pass seemed to be able to hold at this time, as time went by, the situation became worse and worse.
No matter how high the fighting spirit of the five princes and other guards and the children of the aristocratic family are, and no matter how tacitly their cooperation is, they are flesh and blood after all, and there will always be times when they get tired.
Time and time again, they tried their best to break open the amazing defensive scales of the alien beasts. The energy in their bodies was consumed rapidly. Seeing that their companions were about to be exhausted, the companions who were recharging their energy rushed forward to replace them. They rested for a while and recovered some strength, and stepped forward again to replace their companions.
After several rounds of this, everyone in Beiningguan was almost exhausted, even those sword pets whose stamina far surpassed that of humans were exhausted.
