The dispute between Fang Yun and Gou Bao was temporarily settled. Except for the Pearl River Army, all other armies had veteran soldiers instructing them.
The soldiers of the Pearl River Army stood quietly on the parade ground, looking a little lonely.
After lunch, fourteen armies, led by staff from the Cultural Affairs Department, marched toward the city wall.
When they walked to the foot of the city wall and looked up, everyone could clearly feel the height of the Jieshan city wall. However, after looking at it for a few times, their necks felt sore.
There are not only lifting mechanisms on top of the city wall, but also many gates at the bottom of the wall.
Qu Tong said to the generals near Fang Yun: "In peacetime, we can take the elevator to the city wall, but now there is a battle up there, so we can only take the stairs inside the city wall."
Afterwards, the Qin army in the front changed their formation and entered a gate with thirty people in a row.
The fourteen armies changed their formations one after another, began to run slowly, and entered different gates.
The sound of orderly running appeared under the city wall.
The footsteps stepped on the ground and also on the hearts of every soldier.
The sound of running on the ground may not sound special to other people, but to these soldiers, it is a reassuring sound, meaning that they are still alive and that their brothers are still there!
Generals such as Fang Yun had already dismounted and were running with the soldiers. Soon they entered the gate under the city wall.
It was very bright outside the city wall, but when he entered the gate, it became dim in front of him. After running a few steps, Fang Yun finally got used to it.
On both sides of the gate are stairs leading to the top of the city.
Qu Tong said: "The army ahead will go up the stairs from the left, we will turn right."
Fang Yun turned right and saw a long stone staircase leading directly to the city wall above. The stairs were estimated to be at an angle of about thirty degrees, which meant that the entire staircase was four hundred feet long, almost two and a half miles.
Climbing two and a half miles of stairs was extremely difficult for ordinary people, but all the soldiers kept running in small steps.
The stone staircase is divided into two parts, with a smooth slope in the middle, which can be used to transport goods when the elevator is busy.
More than two million troops entered through different gates and climbed different stairs.
Soon, Fang Yun saw the exit in front of him, but like everyone else, his expression became extremely calm.
Fang Yun originally expected that the exit would be the same as the south side of the Jieshan city wall, with bright sunshine and clear skies. But the strange thing was that the exit in front connecting to the city wall was not brightly sunny at all, but very dim, as if there were dark clouds pressing down, as if it was another world.
At the same time, waves of fishy smells spread from the entrance to the stairs. Fang Yun seemed to see a dark red river of blood rushing down. He blinked and realized it was just an illusion.
The fishy smell penetrated into the nose and rolled in the throat, just like cotton wool stuck in the throat, making the throat itchy and wanting to vomit. Fang Yun just moved his mind and used the power of the university scholar to block the smell outside.
"Ugh..."
The soldiers in front continued to climb the stairs while retching, and soon someone vomited his lunch.
Thousands of soldiers began to vomit on the stairs.
Fang Yun glanced at the soldiers in front and behind him and found that the veterans of the Huayang Army and the Shangwu Army had faint smiles on their faces, and the two scholars Qu Tong and Jie Bingzhi had the same smiles on their faces.
Later, Fang Yun saw that not only ordinary soldiers were vomiting, but some students and even scholars also began to vomit.
The copper-tongued man said, "In order to save money, we must not use our talent and literary courage to block the smell from the outside world!"
Those Juren, Jinshi and Hanlin had to put away their talents and literary courage, and then these people frowned. One Juren even couldn't help but vomited.
Fang Yun then understood why the Wenjie Division did not allow the new recruits to fight within three days, but instead required them to watch the battle on the city wall for three days.
The soldier in front was retching as he ran. Soon, Fang Yun rushed out of the stairs and officially stepped onto the city wall of Liangjie Mountain.
Fang Yun walked forward while looking around.
On the east and west sides of the Jieshan city wall are two black peaks towering into the clouds, while the sky above is extremely strange.
The sky to the south of Liangjie Mountain was clear and blue, with the sun hanging high in the sky, but the sky to the north was occupied by a strange blood moon.
The blood-red light intertwined with the sunlight, and with the influence of various strange forces, the sky and the earth were shrouded in a light red mist.
The moment he saw the blood moon, Fang Yun knew that the demon world was to the north of the city wall.
The wall of Jieshan City is one mile wide and a hundred miles long. There are countless mechanisms lined up in a row, huge rocks are thrown around, thick arrows fly, and the sound of the mechanisms is like thunder, continuous and endless.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Millions of troops were scattered between the organs and the edge of the city walls.
Swords and spears were like forests, arrows were like flying locusts, and war poems were like rain, either killing the monsters and barbarians who had just rushed to the top of the city, or landing outside the city and attacking the monsters and barbarians outside the city.
After a few breaths, Fang Yun saw hundreds of huge black shadows flying from outside the city into the air and flying towards the top of the city. At the same time, a large number of scholars changed the direction of their attack and attacked those black shadows.
Fang Yun looked carefully and found that each black shadow was hundreds of monsters connected together. He realized that they were thrown onto the city wall by the monster world's mechanism!
Fang Yun was stunned. This was the legendary 'Demon Stone'. He had only seen it in books before, but seeing it with his own eyes that the demon was thrown onto the city wall like a boulder was still a little hard to believe.
Most of the monster boulders were defeated by the scholars or machines defending the city, but more than a dozen monster boulders were about to fall to the ground.
Before landing on the city wall, each monster stone split into hundreds of individuals and rushed towards the nearest human race. These monsters were composed of monster commanders and monster generals, occasionally mixed with monster marquises, and they set off a bloody storm as soon as they landed.
"Kill!" The soldiers armed with spears, swords and axes shouted loudly and rushed towards the monsters who fell on the city wall, cooperating with other scholars to surround and kill these monsters as quickly as possible.
These monsters that fell on the city wall were quickly killed, but within just a few dozen breaths, they caused thousands of casualties to the human race.
The new recruits were all stunned. They couldn't imagine that the monsters would use such a crazy attack. If it were humans, they would all fall to death, let alone attack.
After this round of demonic boulders appeared, new demonic boulders did not appear for a long time. Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard that the mechanisms in the demon world were far inferior to those of humans. Every time this mechanism threw out a demonic boulder, parts would inevitably be damaged, and a new mechanism would need to be replaced to continue throwing, which was very time-consuming.
After a round of fierce fighting, the smell of blood on the city wall became stronger, and countless recruits covered their mouths and noses.
Fang Yun's face was gloomy. There were both new and old soldiers in the Pearl River Army. It was normal for new recruits to vomit, but those old soldiers who had killed the barbarians were actually stimulated by the bloody smell on the top of the Liangjie Mountain City and vomited. This showed that this place was unusual.
Fang Yun glanced at the top of the city wall and suddenly understood where the "Blood City" that Shang Wuhou had mentioned before was.
This is the Blood City.
A large amount of blood seeped into the rocks that made up the city wall. The entire wall was covered with dried blood, and every part was black red. The bloody smell mostly came from this dried blood.
Fang Yun blinked and felt that everyone on the city wall was shrouded in a blood-colored mist, and everyone was filled with murderous intent.
The blood and energy on the city wall split the sky straight.
