The sky and the earth were dim, and the monster army was still 1,670 miles away from the valley entrance. Jiang Ze and Zhou Tong could not see that far, so they could only send elite scouts and ride a few spiritual beasts in the direction of the monster army. They went to scout the latest movements of the demon army. They also hoped that Chen Hai's sharp demon eyes would allow him to stand on this cliff and see the situation for one hundred sixty or seventy miles, so that they could keep track of the trends of the demon army at any time.
At this time, Chen Hai had noticed the slowly squirming army of monsters in the distance, which was now divided into two pieces of different sizes. The main force began to disperse to the right wing and intercepted Ning Shengrong and others in the direction of escape. Only 40,000 to 50,000 demon soldiers were left, heading towards Beiling Valley as before.
The disciples of the sect, especially those from the same sect like Jiang Zhao, Wu Chengyue, Ning Shengrong, etc., want to receive excellent care even in the blood refining field, so they bring in a large amount of supplies through generals or servant disciples.
The demon soldiers in front were blocked, and the demon soldiers in the rear were still pushing forward. By the time they realized that the fire was rising from the sky, there were already 20,000 to 30,000 demon soldiers entering the deepest and narrowest section of the Beiling Valley. , the intuition is that there is a sea of fire in all directions...
Jiang Ze and the others retreated to the second line of defense, which consisted of a large number of abandoned tents and poured fire oil. They also actively prepared for battle, preparing to withstand the first wave of monsters' charge.
However, Chen Hai's harsh words shocked Jiang Ze and Zhou Tong. They looked at each other and suddenly realized that if the disciples of the sect fled to the river of magnetic light, they might attract the main force of the monster army. Let's go. Wouldn't the abandoned blood-refined disciple be a blessing in disguise and have a greater chance of winning in the Beiling Valley
In addition to the thousands of tents that can easily catch fire, there are also two to three hundred barrels of rosin and kerosene for lighting, plus other fire starters, which are enough to find a narrow place inside Beiling Valley and lay a flame trap.
Some of the Blood Refined disciples crossed the mountains and fled in the opposite direction from where the monster army was coming; some were at a loss holding their brothers and sisters who had lost the ability to move due to injuries; some were sitting back and waiting to die, wailing and screaming, and civil strife broke out in Beiling Valley at this time. A ball.
"Ah..." Chen Hai yawned, holding his head with a pair of scaly claws and lying on his back. He made no secret of his lack of interest in the topics discussed by young men like Jiang Ze.
Jiang Ze, Zhou Tong, Jiang Ding, and Jiang Xuan knew what they were going to do. They went to Beiling Valley separately to shout, contact the leaders of the other disciples from the poor families, and persuade them to unite and defend Beiling Valley.
…
Chen Hai sat on the top of the cliff and looked over. He saw that there were about eight or nine thousand people left, but most of them were injured. There were only about four thousand fighters who could stand up. It was really a headache at this moment. He didn't know how many main monsters would be attracted by Ning Shengrong and other fleeing disciples.
"Brother Demon, what do you think of guarding the valley like this?" Jiang Ze really wanted to be more confident in front of the leader of the poor disciples other than Zhou Tong, but when he thought about the casualties of thousands of blood-refined disciples, he didn't care about the other disciples. What did the leader think? He asked Chen Hai bravely.
"The abandoned tents all over the valley are excellent fire starters. Why do you need to ask me how to severely weaken the demonic soldiers?" Chen Hai asked the monster and laughed twice, thinking whether in Yanzhou or Xingheng Region , the disciples of the sect are so accustomed to the rule that the strong are respected, they have forgotten that the main reason why people are human lies in the use of tools and strategies.
Although there was no roar of joy in the Beiling Valley at this time, the remaining commotion was quickly eliminated.
When entering the blood refining field, you can use the storage ring to store supplies. However, after entering the blood refining field, due to the strict restriction of true energy, these materials can no longer be stored in the storage ring. When they escaped from Beiling Valley, except The necessary armor, elixirs, and a large number of Taoist talismans and protective magic weapons were all taken away, while a large amount of daily necessities were left behind.
In fact, even if there are 30,000 to 40,000 monsters left to attack Beiling Valley, it will still be an arduous battle.
When it comes to defending war, people's hearts come first.
Chen Hai also knew that the vast majority of the human race, whether they were disciples of the Han tribe or not, had no favorable impression of monsters, and would never just listen to the instructions of a "devil slave" like him. Therefore, Chen Hai had no choice but to communicate with other Shougu disciples. No interest in getting involved.
Chen Hai sat on the edge of the cliff and saw that there were still a large number of Blood Refining disciples who did not listen to Jiang Ze's greetings and continued to cross mountains and ridges to escape from Beiling Valley. However, a large number of injured and injured disciples and companions from poor families, even if they wanted to escape, They also knew that since they had no mounts and were encumbered, they would never be able to escape faster than the others, so they were eventually forced to stay.
Although Beiling Valley still needs to face the 40,000 to 50,000 monsters that continue to advance alone, and the pressure is still heavy, it is still much better than falling into a complete desperate situation before, and everyone at least has a chance to fight.
Seeing the black tide of monsters coming toward the valley entrance, Jiang Ze led a small team of scouts and quickly retreated to the rear. He was worried that the monsters would not take the bait. As he was retreating, he looked back and saw the large group of monster soldiers at the head. He relaxed a little after crossing the first stone wall built by the Xue Lian disciples at the mouth of the valley without stopping.
There are also some people who want to defend Beiling Valley, but when they think that an army of hundreds of thousands of monsters is just over a day away, and when they think that more monsters may emerge from the depths of the wasteland later, their hearts are filled with despair.
Even if they just use this to appease people and reorganize the defenses of Beiling Valley, even if the monster army still attacks Beiling Valley in large numbers, they may not be able to hold on until reinforcements from the division arrive.
Chen Hai glanced back and saw that the dozen or so people brought over by Jiang Ze and Zhou Tong were all outstanding disciples from poor families of this generation. Almost all of them had developed three or four spiritual veins through personal cultivation. However, because of their poor background, Only by entering the Blood Refining Field can you have the opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain to practice.
"Brother Mo, how do you think you are going to defend Beiling Valley?" Jiang Zenen's face turned red and he resisted the urge to turn away and asked.
The cliffs on both sides of Beiling Valley are extremely steep, almost three to four hundred meters high, straight up and down, making it extremely difficult to climb. The mouth of the valley is narrow, less than 400 meters wide, and Ning Shengrong and the others retreated to Beiling Valley to use A stone wall four to five meters high and wide was built in a few days, which can be regarded as a basic city defense foundation.
This is easier said than done.
"Thousands of my disciples could have survived, but they all died under your arbitrary command. How could I think you wanted me to be an old devil?" Chen Hai crossed his thick scaly feet, stretched out his claws to clasp his toes, and said slowly.
The vast majority of those abandoned in Beiling Valley were Han clan members. Because they did not have the mysterious armor of spiritual soldiers or the best spiritual elixirs for wounding, they suffered heavy casualties and no injuries in the previous bloody battles to slay demons. The method was well cured.
Jiang Ze and the others wanted to use this stone wall to fight a protracted battle with the monsters that rushed in.
"How can we severely weaken the demon soldiers?" Jiang Ze made Chen Hai's argument useless, but he could still ask patiently. Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, he knew in his heart that he had come all the way. He followed the green-scaled demon of Jiang Xuan's family. Later, I learned so much that I suspected that before the Jiang Xuan family's Green Scale Demon was captured, he might have been a demon general who led the troops in the demon clan, or perhaps there were military advisors and military veterans among the demon clan's troops. class role.
"The demonic tide has moved," Chen Hai said in a muffled voice, "The main force went to intercept Ning Shengrong and the others in the direction they were escaping."
"You only have 4,000 disciples who can fight, and among these 4,000 disciples, there are not a few who have broken hands and feet. The vast majority of them have run out of wound medicine and lack combat armor, so they cannot even charge against the demon soldiers." The elite chariots we killed are not complete, and they don’t even have strong bows. They are not very familiar with each other, and it is difficult to form a tight battle formation. You are only given less than one day. Guard the entrance of the valley in front of the demon soldiers?" Chen Hai was still in the demon body. He spoke too fast and harshly, so he slowed down and said to Jiang Ze and the others, "And if you really want to defend Beiling Valley, you must fight hard in the first battle. Demoralize the demon soldiers, rather than being severely demoralized by them."
Ning Shengrong and others not only abandoned the sick and injured disciples in Beiling Valley, they were even worried that they would attract a large number of monsters to chase them, and strictly prohibited those Han disciples with intact hands and feet from following them in large numbers, which made many people in Beiling Valley feel depressed at this moment. , There are those who are desperate, there are those who are angry, and there are those who hate.
Chen Hai stood on a high cliff and watched more and more demon soldiers pouring into Beiling Valley. However, the earth wall built by Jiang Ze and others was knocked down by the army of demon soldiers in just three or five blows. He no longer waited, jumped down from the high cliff, swung his halberd and slashed out. When killing two armpit-clawed demons, "chiliu" sparks flew away on the stone ground. At this time, Jiang Ze and the others were also ready. The turpentine torches and rockets dipped in fire grease were fired towards the front.
Although some of the monster soldiers and horses might not arrive at Beiling Valley until tomorrow, time was too tight for Jiang Ze and the others, so they immediately sat in front of the cliff to discuss reorganizing their troops and holding on to the stone wall at the entrance of the valley.
It was one thing to guess before, but it was another thing to confirm it. At this time, Jiang Ze shouted excitedly towards Beiling Valley and said: "The main force of the monster army has been attracted away. The main force of the monster army has been attracted away." Already…”
At Chen Hai's insistence, Jiang Ze and the others spent six or seven hours building an earth wall more than 200 meters long on the inside of Beiling Valley. The outpost soldiers and horses of the monster army were repelled by Jiang Ze and the others, but then more monsters poured in. They did not realize that the randomly discarded tents would be the flame traps that buried them.
Under such circumstances, how is it possible to rectify the defense and strengthen everyone's determination to defend
Jiang Ze and Zhou Tong's comfort work finally achieved a certain effect. Finally, they led a dozen people to climb up the cliff. They saw Chen Hai standing upright with a monster body, looking into the distance, and asked: "What's the monster?" trend?"
