However, the reaction of the Great Snow Mountain Divine Cult was also very quick. The moment the formation was destroyed, the spirit gathering cannon array on the top of the city roared, and rows of spirit gathering cannons bombarded the army of the Five Sacred Alliance with equally enormous power.
Faced with this round of soul-gathering cannon attacks, the Five Sacred Alliance was naturally fearless. The Black Tortoise Holy Spirit Army and other defensive forces immediately stepped to the front and intercepted the artillery fire.
The spirit gathering artillery array of the Five Sacred Alliance showed its power again. After a roar, the spiritual energy shells fell madly towards the top of the city.
However, after suffering a loss last time, the Tianhun Society became even more wary of the Soul Gathering Cannon.
Around the spirit-gathering cannon array on the top of the city wall, countless soldiers of the Great Snow Mountain Cult appeared there, holding huge shields.
The runes on the giant shield can be directly connected into a large formation to defend the area where the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment is located.
This kind of defense did not completely cover the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment, but only blocked the front side.
The inclined shield formation can bounce the attacking shells diagonally upwards, thus minimizing the power of the Soul Gathering Cannon explosion.
This is also the defensive strategy of the Tianhun Society. They also have a lot of experience in fighting against the Soul Gathering Cannon.
Just as the attacks of the spirit gathering cannons of both sides were in a stalemate, the Nine-Colored Peacock King rushed out from the clouds in the sky with a flock of birds.
The circling flock of birds descended from the sky at the fastest speed and rushed towards the headquarters of the Great Snow Mountain Cult. Many soldiers of the Five Saints Alliance were sitting on the backs of the birds.
There are three to five people sitting on the back of each bird monster. Some small ones can seat five people, while large ones can seat five people.
These soldiers all held longbows in their hands, and on the bowstring was a long arrow made of red crystal.
These long arrows were naturally made of the Exploding Fire Crystal Ore that Ye Li had found. Each long arrow required a piece of Exploding Fire Crystal Ore the size of a human head.
The size of the Exploding Fire Crystal Ore determines its power, and the Exploding Fire Crystal Ore that is the size of a human head possesses the enormous power of the late Yuantai period.
There were more than two hundred birds descending from the sky, with more than eight hundred people sitting on their backs. Their sudden fall from the sky naturally represented a loophole in the enemy's defense.
The shield formation in front of the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment can only defend against the frontal attack of the Soul Gathering Cannons under the city, and it has basically no defense capability against attacks from overhead.
Even if the soldiers were able to defend themselves against the attacks from overhead, with the limited combat power of ordinary soldiers, how could they possibly withstand the terrifying destructive power of the exploding fire crystals
As the flock of birds swooped down, the Five Sacred Alliance Talisman Masters on the backs of the birds all flew into the air, and their mechanical wings spread out, allowing their bodies to float in the air.
The flock of birds guarded the Five Sacred Alliance's Talisman Masters, and all attacks launched towards the sky from the top of the city walls were intercepted by the flock of birds.
After all, they are led by the Nine-Colored Peacock King. Even if the enemy has a master at the semi-saint level launching an attack, the flying legion is not afraid at all.
The flock of birds protected the eight hundred people in the middle. The talismans and treasures flying around were blocked one by one. The flying monsters managed to draw a blank area in the air, allowing the flying army to freely launch an attack on the enemies on the city walls below.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
A series of arrow shots were heard, and countless explosive arrows made of exploding fire crystals fell from the sky and bombarded the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment on the top of the city.
The Tianhun Society had seen Ye Li's flying legion use special arrows to attack, so they were somewhat prepared. The Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment still had some defensive capabilities against the overhead areas.
However, what they did not expect was that the attack launched by Ye Li using the flying legion this time was not just ordinary special arrows, but powerful arrows made of explosive fire crystals.
When eight hundred arrows fell, it was equivalent to eight hundred Yuantai period talisman masters attacking in the air at the same time.
Each arrow was activated by the user's own spiritual energy, and when it fell, it had turned into a scarlet red color.
The arrow hit the defenses of the people below at an extremely fast speed, and the Yuantai period's attack instantly destroyed a piece of defense.
Only a small portion of the arrows were consumed to destroy these defenses, and the remaining explosive arrows rushed into the spirit gathering cannon formation at the fastest speed.
The sound of explosions immediately resounded on the top of the city, followed by screams of agony. Rows of soul-gathering artillery regiments were knocked to the ground by the airflow from the exploding fire crystal arrows.
A large number of soul gathering cannons that came into direct contact with the explosion were immediately destroyed, and a large number of soldiers operating the soul gathering cannons also died. The entire soul gathering artillery regiment began to fall into chaos.
The flying legion's attack was not just once. They took out explosive fire crystal arrows from their bodies one after another and shot them madly towards the bottom.
The arrows are extremely powerful and only require a small amount of manpower to achieve the terrifying destructive power of the Yuantai period.
The soul-gathering artillery formation on top of the city wall of the Great Snow Mountain Cult's headquarters was simply unable to withstand the attack of the exploding fire crystal arrows. With insufficient defense capabilities, they didn't even have a chance to escape and were completely wiped out.
Balls of flames exploded on the top of the city wall, killing and wounding countless soldiers, whether they were the soldiers operating the spirit gathering cannon or the soldiers in charge of defense.
Several Talisman Saint masters of the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect and the Half-Saint master planned to join forces to eliminate the flying legion in the air.
However, the Nine-Colored Peacock King, together with Xiaoqing, Chuqing and several of his men, worked together to completely block the attacks of several masters of the Great Snow Mountain Sect.
The flock of birds kept circling around the flying legion at high speed, like a huge iron can, protecting the flying legion inside. For a while, the Great Snow Mountain Cult had no way to deal with the flying legion.
Seeing that the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment on the top of the city had been silenced and its defense force was greatly weakened, the attack of the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment of the Five Saints Alliance outside the city started again.
The Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment took the opportunity to cooperate with the Flying Corps to attack the city walls. They soon killed and wounded the soldiers on the city walls.
After completely destroying the Soul Gathering Cannon defense on the top of the city, the assault troops of the Five Saints Alliance finally began to move out.
These guys were selected from the soldiers, and they are relatively strong in defense and mobility.
These people need to undertake tough tasks and fight tough battles.
The soldiers rode on the monsters and rushed towards the city gate. Among the soldiers, there was also a huge battering ram used to attack the city gate.
Without human interference, the ability of the battering ram to destroy the city gate is very strong. It only takes a few hits to break the solid city gate. (To be continued)
