Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
In order to cope with this war, Lei Jiuming has not gone home to rest for several days. He is either handling official business in the public room or going to the military camp to inspect and comfort the soldiers.
There are more than two million bull demons on the other side of the Blood River, and there are at least more than 1.5 million soldiers and horses in Blood River City. Although soldiers and horses from all directions are still converging on the Blood River battlefield, it will take two hundred to gather together. With thousands of soldiers and horses, it may take some time.
Early next morning.
Lei Jiuming had just taken a nap in the public room when a spy came to report that more than two million troops on the other side of the Blood River had begun to set up camp and move towards this side.
Suddenly, Lei Jiuming's face darkened, and he quickly sent an order for all the generals to come to discuss matters.
Soon, fifteen generals who commanded the army arrived at the commander-in-chief's residence, including Li Feng and Meng Li.
"Hey, Brother Li, has your cultivation level reached a breakthrough?"
A leading general glanced at Li Feng inadvertently. He suddenly looked surprised and spoke with envy.
"Haha, it's just a breakthrough, the foundation is not yet stable!"
Li Feng said modestly, but his face was full of pride. After obtaining the top-grade spiritual crystal, he began to practice in seclusion. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the early martial saint stage, and he had experienced several battles, so, With the help of the best spiritual crystal, he actually broke through the shackles in one fell swoop and reached the middle stage of the Martial Saint stage.
The other generals who led the army also looked over, feeling that Li Feng's aura had really broken through to the middle stage of the Martial Saint stage, and their eyes were full of envy.
Most of the fifteen leading generals were in the early stage of Martial Sainthood, and only Zhou Lin was in the middle stage of Martial Sainthood. Therefore, when he saw that Li Feng had also broken through to the middle stage of Martial Sainthood, he couldn't help but feel quite unhappy.
On the side, Meng Li looked visibly embarrassed and Li Feng couldn't help but feel a little disdainful. If the commander hadn't given him the best spiritual crystal, he might have had to wait several years for a breakthrough.
And after practicing with the best spiritual crystals, although he has not broken through to the middle stage of the Martial Saint, it is not far away. He has a hunch that he can break through to the middle stage of the Martial Saint in ten days at most.
"The commander-in-chief has arrived!"
A voice sounded, and the conference room suddenly became quiet.
Then, I saw Lei Jiuming walking in at a leisurely pace, and then came to the front seat and sat down.
"I've met the commander-in-chief!"
Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Lei Jiuming pressed his palm down. Suddenly, his eyes fell on Li Feng, and then he nodded appreciatively: "Middle Martial Saint, not bad."
Li Feng said quickly: "Thank you for the compliment, Commander-in-Chief, it's just a fluke!"
"Okay!" Lei Jiuming waved his hand and straightened his face: "You have all received the news that the Bull Demon Army has marched here."
Everyone nodded.
Lei Jiuming continued: "Everyone knows that the bull demon army is 900,000 more than ours, and the soldiers of the bull demon tribe are generally stronger than our human race. How should this battle be fought? Please speak freely!"
Silence, absolute silence!
The strength gap between the two sides was too big. No one present was sure of winning, so naturally they did not dare to speak casually.
Seeing the cold scene, Lei Jiuming couldn't help but frown and looked at Li Feng: "Li Feng, tell me what you think?"
Li Feng said with a bitter face: "My subordinates believe that we should focus on defending and then wait for reinforcements to arrive."
"Reinforcements?"
Lei Jiuming sneered. Even if the reinforcements arrived, there would only be two million people, which was still not as good as the Bull Demon Clan. Moreover, if they insisted on defending Blood River City, the Bull Demon Clan would definitely spare Blood River City and attack Blood River City. The city behind.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Lei Jiuming's eyes swept over the other generals leading the troops.
Still no one said anything.
"In this case!" Lei Jiuming slapped his palms on the table: "Then I will tell you what I think. No matter what, we cannot let the Bull Demon Clan escape Blood River City. We must stop the Bull Demon Clan in Blood River City." Under Hecheng!"
Hearing this, everyone was frightened. If they insist on a head-on confrontation with the Bull Demon Clan, they are afraid that the 1.5 million soldiers of the Clan will suffer heavy casualties.
"Li Feng."
"My subordinate is here!"
"Immediately order the patrol to go to the bank of the Blood River and kill as many bull demons as possible as they cross the river!"
"As you command!"
Li Feng said loudly.
Lei Jiuming's eyes quickly glanced at the other three people.
"Meng Li, Jiang Feng, Liucheng."
"My subordinate is here!"
The three of them said in unison.
"The three of you will each lead your army to the bank of the Blood River to kill the Bull Demon Tribe who landed on the shore."
"yes!"
Following Lei Jiuming's order, the army in Blood River City quickly moved around. As for Li Feng, he quickly called together the patrol troops outside the city and gathered towards the bank of Blood River.
After Li Feng led a patrol of 100,000 people to the bank of the Blood River, an army of 2.4 million bull demons had already begun to cross the river.
Suddenly, the blood river was filled with densely packed cow heads, which made human scalps tingle.
Li Feng glanced at the 100,000 patrol troops who were waiting in formation, and felt a little heavy in his heart. After this battle, he didn't know how many patrol troops would be left.
Half an hour later, the vanguard of the Bull Demon Clan was no more than a kilometer away from the shore. The 100,000 patrol troops drew their bows to full strings, and when the Bull Demon Clan got closer, they would shoot out the arrows on the strings.
Five hundred meters!
Effective range!
"shoot!"
Li Feng gave the order, and immediately, one hundred thousand patrol troops shot out the arrows in their hands at the same time.
"Boohoo!"
Dense arrows filled the sky and the ground.
However, in this round of arrows, less than a thousand Bull Demons were killed, because at the moment they released the arrows, the Bull Demons blocked their heads with a shield, and then sank into the blood river.
The Blood River is a strange river. Except for the Bull Demon Tribe, even wooden boats will sink if they drive on it.
Therefore, the power of arrows that enter the water will be reduced by more than 90%. It is extremely lucky that one hundred thousand arrows can kill a thousand powerful bull demons.
Compared with the 2.4 million-strong army, the thousand-headed bull demon clan is simply a drop in the bucket.
For a moment, Li Feng's heart sank again.
"Keep cumming!"
"Boohoo!"
Another round of 100,000 arrows shot towards the Blood River, but this time the number of Bull Demons killed was even less, only five or six hundred.
After ten consecutive rounds of arrows, less than 10,000 Bull Demons were killed.
The vanguard of the Bull Demon Tribe had already resisted the shore, flying ashore one by one, and launched a brutal attack on the patrol.
This is where the killing begins.
At first, the patrols were able to temporarily hold the Bull Demons on the shore, but as more and more Bull Demons came ashore, the casualties of the patrols became more and more serious. Fortunately, the battle formation Song Yan had created before was already there. Popularize it among patrol troops, otherwise more people will die.
Two hours later.
With three battle formations, the patrol army killed no less than 100,000 bull demons, but more than half of the patrol army suffered casualties, which made Li Feng feel heartbroken.
Finally, after hundreds of thousands more Bull Demons landed ashore, the patrol army could no longer support them and began to fight and retreat.
Seeing this scene, Meng Li and the three men stationed several miles away led their troops, totaling 300,000, to rush towards the bank of the Blood River.
In the evening of that day, the Bull Demon Clan made a full landing, and the 400,000 troops including the patrol army killed a total of 500,000 of the powerful Bull Demon Clan at the cost of 320,000 people.
