It was as if they had agreed upon it, and Heaven wanted both sides to bloom at the same time.
When the battle started in Kucha City in the Western Region, An Wenxiu, the commander of Tianjie Middle Army, finally launched a full-scale attack on Laojun Cave, the third line of defense at Niangzi Pass.
It was already the second watch, and the defense line of Laojun Cave was quiet, with only countless torches illuminating the layers of defense lines.
Tens of thousands of skeleton legions, under the cover of darkness, quietly approached the forward position of Laojundong's defense line.
Behind them are the dark legions of giants and madmen, and behind them are the legions of destruction.
The arrogant heavenly army also began to be the sixth.
They no longer launch attacks as blatantly as before, now they are like a group of rats hiding in the dark, slowly approaching.
When nearly a thousand behemoths of destruction arrived at the designated location, the heavenly army tore off their disguises, and hundreds of fireballs emitted whining air explosions, slamming into the Laojun Cave position.
In an instant, the Laojun Cave position turned into a sea of fire.
Such a large-scale bombardment did not cause too many casualties to the human defenders.
Veteran general Xu Kai had been on guard against An Wenxiu's night attack and kept only a small number of soldiers on the position, while the main force was hidden behind the Tiangbing Cave and Laojun Cave.
The skeleton warriors were not afraid of flames, wielding their rusty swords through the sea of fire, and easily occupied the first frontier of Laojun Cave.
The human defenders responded immediately.
They were not in a hurry to regain the lost positions, but took the initiative to abandon the first, second, and third positions of Laojun Cave.
An Wenxiu felt a little proud when he saw how easily the soldiers had captured three positions.
Since taking the Queguan position, An Wenxiu has been resting and recuperating.
In his opinion, the Laojundong position can be taken at any time.
The mountain is not high, just a 100-foot-high earth slope. There is no depth defense, and the Tibetan Soldier Cave cannot hide many people.
Laojun Cave is more like an ordinary human city.
It only takes one volley from the Skyfire Beast to destroy it.
The result was just as An Wenxiu expected.
The entire north side of the mountain turned into a sea of fire, and the human soldiers were unable to take the lead. The skeleton warriors easily defeated three forward positions.
However, when the skeleton army still wanted to attack forward, the counterattack of the human defenders began.
Most of the flames have been extinguished. Since a large number of celestial soldiers have gathered in the defense line, the Skyfire Beast cannot launch an attack to avoid hurting friendly forces.
This is the moment that the human defenders have been waiting for.
Let them in, the enemy and we will be mixed together, and the skyfire beast will be useless.
As the war drums sounded, the human soldiers in the Tibetan Soldier Cave rushed out with cheers.
They only wore a pair of shorts and no clothes or armor.
The weapon he held in his hand let out a roar like a wolf's howl, and collided with the enemy fiercely.
The two sides instantly fell into a fight.
After a hole was torn, countless human soldiers with black fire thunderbolts tied to their bodies rushed down the mountain, screaming.
Their target was not the skeleton army, but the giant army that followed closely behind.
Bang!
Boom...
The sound of gunpowder exploding came and went, and thick smoke filled the entire Niangziguan.
Every explosion marks the death of a human warrior.
Of course, they also killed many giant warriors.
Before the advent of black fire weapons, if a human warrior wanted to kill a giant warrior, he would have to pay the price of at least twenty people.
It's different now. As long as a warrior has black fire thunderbolts tied to his body and hugs the giant warrior's thigh, he can blast the giant warrior into a disabled person.
Due to the giant warrior's size, it would be difficult to stand up again after breaking his leg, and death would be the only thing waiting for him.
This significantly reduced the battle losses of human soldiers.
An Wenxiu, who was commanding the battle at the gate, saw the fire in Laojun Cave, snorted and said: "The battle between the trapped beasts. Send my order, and the Skyfire Beast will attack immediately."
A deputy general next to him said: "Commander, we still have many people struggling with the enemy. Once the Skyfire Beast attacks, our people..."
An Wenxiu waved his hand and said: "We only had more than two thousand people attack Laojun Cave. There were enemies all over the mountains and plains. Their losses were greater than ours.
Let the Skyfire Beast attack immediately, and we must capture Laojun Cave before dawn."
A moment later, hundreds of fireballs streaked across the night sky and hit Laojun Cave hard.
The soldiers on both sides were instantly plunged into a sea of fire.
Since the skeleton warrior was not afraid of fire, he took advantage of this moment.
On the defense line of Zhengdao Laojun Cave, tens of thousands of soldiers turned into living people, and their wailing and pitiful cries were chilling.
Xu Kai, who was watching the battle from a distance, closed his eyes in pain.
Said: "Withdraw."
Less than half an hour after the battle at Laojun Cave began, more than 50,000 soldiers were lost.
Xu Kai no longer offered fearless resistance and ordered the army stationed in the north of Laojun Cave to begin withdrawing towards the fourth Chengtian Cliff defense line at Niangzi Pass.
There is a gorge that is more than ten miles long, and it will be a decisive battle between the two sides.
An Wenxiu got the news that the main force stationed in Laojun Cave had retreated, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Said: "It seems that Xu Kai wants to start a decisive battle with me at Chengtian Cliff. He ordered the soldiers to pursue them across the board. I will eat 200,000 of them before they enter the Chengtian Cliff defense line."
at the same time.
Three hundred miles northwest of Niangzi Pass.
A heavenly grain transport team was stationed on the spot. Thousands of carts of grain and grass supplies gathered into a huge camp.
Responsible for the escort mission are 20,000 Stormtroopers.
It was late at night and the entire camp was asleep.
At this time, from the northern horizon, a group of cavalry troops appeared out of sight.
They walked forward in the darkness without lighting a torch.
Like a ghost in the dark.
The coach's name is Batulu, the first warrior of the White Wolf Tribe among the nine wolf tribes in the prairie.
On the orders of Great Shan Yu Zhebei, he led 500,000 prairie wolf cavalry to attack the grain transport team of the army in the middle of Tianjie.
Batulu used 300,000 cavalry for the attack, and the remaining 200,000 were used to resist the reinforcements from the Celestial Storm Legion coming from Niangzi Pass.
Since the food transport teams in Heaven were rarely harassed, the soldiers in Heaven were not very vigilant.
When the wolf cavalry was only five miles away from the camp and began to charge at a faster speed, the soldiers of Heaven Realm had not yet reacted.
The ground began to tremble, and the amplitude became larger and larger.
When countless six-legged giant beasts began to roar uneasily, the soldiers of the heaven realized that this was not an earthquake, but an enemy attack!
The call rang through the camp.
The six-legged cavalry responsible for the escort rushed out of the camp, looking for weapons and beasts.
late.
The cavalry pays most attention to formation.
Although many people had already mounted the six-legged beast at this moment, there was no formation at all.
At this time, the 300,000 bloodthirsty wolf riders led by Batulu were rapidly approaching.
Five miles, three miles...
In the remaining time, there was no way for the Heavenly Commander to assemble the beast cavalry. While the 20,000 storm legions were still in a state of chaos, the rain of arrows from the prairie cavalry had already fallen.
