After wiping out the Demon King of Huangshan, Zhong Yu led his army to move forward. Three days later, when more than 70,000 troops under his command arrived at the gates of Shangqiu City, all the demon soldiers in the city had received the news of the death of the Demon King of Huangshan.
Some demon generals want to resist and defend the city under the guise of revenge for the Demon King of Huangshan, and they continue to win over the hearts and minds of the demon soldiers, which seems to have another purpose.
But there are still some demon generals who believe that the enemy is too strong. Even the Demon King of Huangshan cannot resist and cannot escape. They have completely fallen. With their remaining demon generals, how can they be their opponents.
These people want to retreat back to the Thousand Miles of Mountains, or disperse to various parts of the Ming Dynasty to lurk again, waiting for good opportunities.
After all, not all demons are brave and fearless of death. Demons with truly extraordinary wisdom, especially those at the level of demon generals, are as smart as ordinary people, or even better.
With a demon general who has his own thinking and basic judgment, his fear of life and death is naturally much greater than that of an ordinary demon soldier.
Therefore, after encountering difficulties and encountering forces that they cannot stop, the first thing these demon generals think of is not to resist and take revenge, but to retreat to save their lives.
In the end, these few demon generals fled with more than 2,000 demon soldiers, completely leaving the whirlpool of Dongjiang Province.
They may be trying to return to the mountains and forests thousands of miles away, or they may be trying to sneak into various parts of the Ming Dynasty again and live their previous happy days.
As for the remaining demon soldiers, there are about 20,000 demon soldiers in total, but they are divided into 13 factions. Each faction controls the power of thousands or thousands of people. Each faction fights endlessly and wants to annex the others. Once again achieve the great cause of the Demon King.
It's a pity that the strength of these demon generals may be somewhat different, but they can't match the suppression of Huangshan Demon King.
They are all dissatisfied with each other and are very dirty, so how can they be willing to surrender to others.
Without the spiritual leader and commander of the Demon King of Huangshan, the more than 20,000 troops under his command have completely become a chaotic army, without a leader.
Therefore, before Zhong Yu led his army to Shangqiu City and prepared to carry out a fatal blow to the demon clan, within three days, several large-scale internal fights broke out among these demon clan.
The factions of 13 demon generals attack each other, hoping to merge into a force of sufficient size before the decisive battle to fight Zhong Yu to the death.
As they fought among themselves and annexed each other, the number of the remaining 20,000 demon soldiers shrank sharply, and finally there were only more than 10,000 people left, commanded by three powerful demons.
At this moment, the forces among the demons are slightly led by someone who can take charge, and a certain consensus can be reached between them.
In the face of life and death, the three factions united together, and finally assembled an army of 12,000 to go out of the city to stop the attack.
Although they knew that this battle would definitely be a life-or-death situation, for the glory of the demon clan, in order to avenge their former master Huangshan Demon King, and coupled with the brutal temperament deeply embedded in the blood of the demon clan, they still had to fight. Rushed out.
Outside Shangqiu City, there is a rather vast plain. It was originally a fertile farmland, but now, in less than half a year, it has become overgrown with weeds. There are no rice seeds on it, and it has become completely deserted.
Just on these abandoned fertile fields, the demon clan's 12,000-strong army was waiting in formation.
Opposite them, an army of nearly 80,000 people slowly pressed forward, forming a half-moon shape to surround them.
"As expected, they are demon soldiers who can wreak havoc across a province. Even if their leader dies and their numbers are no longer advantageous, they can still maintain a fierce and fearless aura."
Sitting on a large horse-drawn carriage custom-made for Zhong Yu and driven by 32 thousand-mile horses, Zhong Yu looked at the demon soldiers in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at these demon soldiers from a distance, the whole demon exudes a murderous aura and is wrapped in blood. When they use the Qi-gaining method, they can vaguely see the ghosts lingering around them, constantly wailing for their lives.
However, before these ghosts could get close, they were shaken away by the murderous aura of these demon soldiers, and their bodies became weaker and more transparent.
This is the unique murderous intent of the army. With this murderous intent that has killed countless living beings, even evil ghosts and evil spirits cannot get close to them, and magical poisons cannot harm people. For those ascetics and ghosts, it is extremely dangerous. Big suppression.
This is also one of the reasons for the imperial court to maintain deterrence against those sects.
"In that case, let's send them to completely follow the Demon King of Huangshan!"
Zhong Yu glanced at the demon soldiers for a few times, and soon lost interest. After all, they were just some crazy soldiers, nothing special at all. Zhong Yu had seen a lot in his past experiences, and it was impossible to attract his attention all the time.
The reason why I was able to take a few more looks this time was because I was new to this world and was a little surprised by the madness of the demon clan.
Instead of caring about these monster soldiers, Zhong Yu is now more curious and interested in the countless hidden glances around the battlefield.
"Have you finally attracted the attention of some local forces through this appeal?"
Zhong Yu thought to himself.
The army around them quickly received the order and slowly started to operate.
The first to take action were the 10,000 fourth-level mysticism masters and 10,000 third-level mysticism masters in this expedition, a total of about 20,000 sorcerers.
I saw countless brilliance and splendor appearing in their respective camps, constantly emitting strange rays of light, in which powerful forces surged, all of which were extremely powerful spells.
This time, all the small spells were used, because there were not many enemies to deal with, and their strength was not very strong. Medium or large spells were not used, small ones were enough, and the killing effect was also the most impressive.
Every three, five or ten people form a combination spell, spend more than ten seconds to accumulate power, and then throw it out together.
In just one minute, thousands of powerful spells blasted out, completely covering all the demon soldiers, shrouding their figures in the brilliance of the spells.
When all the light dissipated, gradually revealing the dilapidated and smoke-filled battlefield, only three or four thousand of the tens of thousands of demon soldiers were left.
Before these demon soldiers could rejoice and continue to attack, the magic army behind them once again formed a second wave of attacks while the magic attack continued.
Brush brush brush.
Thousands of magic spells were fired again, and the remaining demon soldiers on the field were hit again. The smoke in the single field dispersed again, and no demon soldiers were left standing.
Hiss~~
Zhong Yu's keen consciousness seemed to hear countless gasps of air in the darkness not far from the battlefield.
He could understand their mood.
More than ten thousand demon soldiers, such a powerful force, could not even touch the enemy, and were directly killed by the enemy's magic army.
Such a powerful long-range strike capability is no longer weaker than the regular field legions of the empire.
This also represents a terrible fact. Zhong Yu, a force that suddenly emerged, has a deep foundation of an empire, at least in terms of the bottom-level combat power of the army.
Although it is not clear what the combat strength of the high-level people above the sixth level where Zhong Yu's forces are located, judging from the ability to keep the Huangshan Demon King, there should still be some combat power around the sixth level, and they are not weak.
The combat power of the lower level is not weaker than that of the Empire, and the high-level combat power of the sixth level is a little bit better, coupled with the huge army.
These secret spies can almost conclude that Zhong Yu's power is more terrifying than the so-called Huangshan Demon King, and can even shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
