The trumpet mouth defense line is said to be hundreds of miles long, but in fact there are gaps in many places. The largest gap is the several-mile-long east-west gap on the north side of Yingbelly Mountain.
In order to fight this battle, Zhao Shiqu adopted the suggestion of his staff Mr. Zhuge and divided the trumpet mouth defense line into four defensive fortresses.
The first line of defense is the southern gate of Yingzui Cliff, guarded there by 1.6 million elite soldiers led by King Zhao Xun of Xiangyang.
The second line of defense is Eagle Claw Ridge, about five miles to the north, which is the area around the trumpet body that Zhao Menglin is guarding at the moment.
About five or six miles further north is the third line of defense, Yingbei Valley, which is guarded by veteran Feng Zhiang. Feng Zhiang has guarded Lingnan for many years. He is a real king of Lingnan. He has been fighting tribes in the mountains and forests of Lingnan all year round and has rich experience.
As for Yingbelly Mountain, which Zhao Shiqu personally guarded, it was the fourth and last line of defense in this battle.
Further north is Laojun Mountain. Your Majesty and the Queen are now supervising the battle at Laojun Mountain. According to the original plan, the first line of defense guarded by King Zhao Xun of Xiangyang is very important. Not long after they wanted to fight, King Xiangyang ran away.
As a result, the enemy attacked the second Zhao Menglin line at least ten hours earlier than expected.
defensive line of defense.
Zhao Menglin is not the idiot of the King of Xiangyang. He is twenty-eight years old and has been guarding Niangziguan for ten years. His courage and means far exceed that of the King of Xiangyang.
At this moment, Tianjie's forward army was blocked at the front line of Eagle Claw Ridge, suffering heavy casualties and unable to advance even an inch. Gu Yuqi had no choice but to send out the skeleton army who were good at climbing rock walls to attack again.
Zhao Menglin had learned from the mistakes of King Xiangyang in front of him, and had already made preparations. When the skeleton warriors appeared in the field of vision, he immediately sent out Mo Dao Shou to form a death squad, and they had to fight to the death to save the defenses on the cliffs on both sides of the valley.
A fight on the cliff began.
The Mo Daoshou suicide squad members, with a rope tied to their bodies, slipped down from the top of the cliff and entered the fortifications of the Eight Bull Crossbows on the cliff. They soon came into contact with the skeletons climbing the cliff.
At that time, the fortifications were built with insufficient consideration. They did not take into account the skeleton warriors who could vertically climb the cliff. Zhao Shiqu and his staff thought that as long as they dug out stone caves on both sides of the cliff, they would
By placing eight oxen crossbows inside, you can take advantage of the terrain and shoot at enemies in the canyon, or drop rolling rocks and logs. This will cause a
There are only three Eight-Niu Crossbows placed at the entrance of the cave, and there are no stone paths or plank roads connecting them. You have to rely on rope baskets to enter and exit, forming an independent fortress. The cave is not big, and three Eight-Niu Crossbows and a dozen operating Eight-Niu Crossbows can be loaded into it.
There is not much space left for Niu Nu's soldiers. Mo Daoshou can only slide down through the rope. Due to the space in the cave, most of the Mo Daoshou suicide squad can only hang in the air.
Go up in the air, wait until all the human warriors in the cave below are almost dead, and then continue to slide down to fight.
The battle damage was very heavy. Many of the suicide squad members were not killed by skeleton warriors, but were thrown to death.
After all, it is a rope. There are more than a dozen human warriors hanging on a rope. As long as the skeleton warrior finds an opportunity to cut off one rope, those human warriors will not be able to climb the vertical rock wall like the skeleton warrior, and they will all fall into the valley immediately.
inside.
It's dozens of feet above the ground, and if it falls, your brains will be knocked out.
But Zhao Menglin had no other option. In order to protect the defensive offensives such as the Eight Ox Crossbows on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, he could only fill it with human lives.
According to statistics after the war, only one-third of the 400,000 Mo Swordsman death squads organized by Zhao Menglin were killed in battles with skeleton warriors. Most of the soldiers were thrown to death before they even came into contact with the enemy. Heavenly Realm
The main force began to move like ants, slowly approaching the gate of Eagle Mouth Cliff. However, the forwards only broke through the Wuli Canyon. The main force of the six legions consisted of millions of people. Only the skeleton legion and a small number of madmen rushed in.
Legion
, the Giant Legion, and the large troops are still gathering outside Yingzui Cliff Pass to fight against the light cavalry in the world.
The enemy and we are in a stalemate at the second line of defense, and both sides have suffered heavy losses. You can see on the ground that not only the corpses of human soldiers are piled up, but also the corpses of many mad warriors and giant warriors. Don't look at these celestial warriors.
They are huge, but in front of the hundreds of kilograms of large rocks falling from the sky, the thick shields of the giant warriors can be smashed to pieces, not to mention the densely packed caves with eight-oxen crossbows on the cliffs on both sides of the valley.
.
In addition to the eight-oxen crossbow and huge rolling stones, jars filled with powerful fire oil were also thrown down from the cliffs on both sides. The canyon at least two miles long below turned into a sea of fire.
Seeing the countless celestial warriors killed and wounded in the valley, Gu Yuqi's heart was bleeding.
Although the fireballs sprayed by the Skyfire Beasts were far away, they could not cross the high Yingzui Cliff Pass. Gu Yuqi ordered 3,000 Skyfire Beasts to enter the Pass and into the canyon, hoping to suppress the cliffs on both sides with fire.
.
He knew it was dangerous, but he had other options.
The desperate fighting style of the world gave him a big headache. Those Mo Dao hands who were injured on the ropes fought with the skeleton warriors on the cliff, stalling the progress of the skeleton warriors. Now they can only bring in the Skyfire Beast.
When three thousand huge and heavy Sky Fire Beasts slowly entered Queguan, the rear area north of Yingzui Cliff received the news. The Sky Bat troops that had been well fed and drunk on the wasteland battlefield began to take off again, with more than 200,000
every celestial bat, every celestial bat
They all carried a rough clay pot and flew quickly from the north.
The six-winged legion has been dispersed, and now the sky bat troops and the dragon cavalry legion in the human world firmly control the air superiority of this battlefield. The Baishan clan chief commanded the clan members to dive at high altitude, like an eagle flying towards a rabbit, quickly flying from the sky
Pounced down, when the heavenly warriors thought they were about to be attacked by these ugly bats, those big bats with human faces suddenly rose up again, and then,
The clay pots fell down one by one.
Don't hit others, just hit those fire beasts that can breathe fire.
The leader of the Baishan clan laughed ferociously and flew away with his clan members. Then he saw dozens of huge fireballs on the mountains in the distance quickly crashing into the valley where the Skyfire Beast was.
Three thousand heavenly fire beasts were destroyed as soon as they entered the canyon.
The blood in their bodies is a fuel for combustion, comparable to fire oil. Now that their whole bodies are covered in fire oil, the situation is terrifying just thinking about it.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yuqi knew it was over.
Facts have proved that Phantom persuaded himself to retreat yesterday. This long canyon is the death passage prepared for the heavenly warriors. A fire outside Yingzui Cliff last night burned to death hundreds of thousands of heavenly warriors. Now in the canyon
The corpses of the heavenly warriors also exceeded 100,000. If the fight continues like this, the six legions will be crushed bit by bit by the meat grinder of Eagle Beak Cliff.
