Chapter 937: Entering the Borderlands and Clearing the Wilderness (Part 1)
Chapter 937: Marching into the Frontier to Clear the Wilderness (Part 1)
"Masters, what do you think of the proposal I just made?" Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon chair, looking expectantly at the representatives of the various sects in front of him.
"The heavens are still chaotic in the northwest, but the aura of heaven and earth is in turmoil, and the evil spirits in them are indeed colliding fiercely. Last night, we joined forces to observe the sky at night to calculate the good and bad. According to the observation, the appearance of the devil clouds representing the fate of evil spirits outside the sky began to change.
Scattered, several large demonic clouds conflict with each other, indicating that its internal conflicts are fierce.
Moreover, those demons and monsters who colluded with the demons did not know what orders they received, and they stopped actively launching wars. The old demons headed by the Five Directions Demon Cult also disappeared one after another, leaving only a few demon sons and grandsons.
Cooperating with the demon army to fight, I don't know what conspiracy they are plotting in secret.
However, the demon clans from all over the country are returning to Shiwanda Mountain one after another, and the demon kings of all walks of life are no longer showing up. They seem to be shrinking their troops and clinging to their lairs. The fortunes of the demons and demons are also colliding with each other. It seems that something has happened between the two sides.
conflict.
The information provided by fellow Taoist You Longzi should not be wrong, and the current situation is indeed beneficial to our side."
Although the heads of Tianshi Dao and Kunlun looked a little pale due to exhaustion in trying their best to calculate, their eyes showed surprise and confidence.
"The demons are in civil strife and have no time to care. Our human race has turned from defense to offense and the time has finally come to regain the lost ground!" After receiving the affirmation of all the experts, Zhao Kuangyin made a decisive decision and urged the court to dispatch all the elite legions to prepare logistics and start as quickly as possible.
Go to the front line, take advantage of the main force of the demons being held back by the civil strife, and regain the occupied border areas.
As the Taizu of the current dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin's prestige was supreme in the Song Dynasty. Even if it was a major matter such as the deployment of a large army, the officials responsible for logistics and military affairs could get to work quickly like clockwork.
He didn't dare to neglect. Therefore, just seven days later, elite legions set off in full force and attacked the border towns occupied by demons one after another.
As for the major cultivation sects with stronger mobility, they had already sent their personnel to various places before the army was launched.
After sending back the information and saying goodbye to Master Changmei, You Longzi quietly returned to the "Dayan Naxu Pure Heaven", lay down in a lake in the north of the cave, and transformed into his true body form of half human and half dragon. Green.
The gem-like lake water enveloped him, constantly washing his body and mind inside and outside. The Xuanwu constellation in the northern sky of the cave sky was full of stars at this moment, and the starlight mixed with the power of subduing demons merged into the water.
With every breath he takes, a twisted wisp of variegated smoke will be expelled from his body, and then purified by the lake water and starlight. These are the evil spirits of the evil god that were contaminated when he fought against the evil god Rose and his scrolls. There are even...
A little bit of Levikung's twisted divine power is mixed in. If it is not purified in time, the consequences will be disastrous.
I sat on the top of the mountain and looked at Yu Longzi in the pool with a blank expression for a while, and then cast my gaze on the demon realm thousands of miles away. The situation on the battlefield between humans and demons has been rewritten by the two clones. I believe that after his strengthening
The Song Dynasty and the major sects that have been in the world for many years will definitely seize this opportunity to completely reverse the situation of the war.
At this time, although various cities far away on the border have received news of the imperial court's counterattack, they, who are constantly harassed by demons, still need to hold on for a while longer to wait for reinforcements. The cultivators who can arrive faster can also
Provide them with better help.
Zhangye County City is one of the few major cities in the northwestern counties that still held its position after being invaded by the demon army. It is now the military center of Liangzhou. After Dunhuang, Jiuquan and other places on the front line were defeated by the demon army, a large number of soldiers and civilians fled here.
, it also brought a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and finally built a strong defense, which also made Zhangye, which was originally located in the heartland area, become the front line.
Even the various cultivation sects living in seclusion in the surrounding areas could not bear the harassment of the demon army and moved to the city one after another. They also made great contributions to the defense of the city. They not only strengthened the defensive formations inside and outside the city, but also added several strong men.
As an offering.
At this time, Zhangye County City was in the midst of a siege and defensive battle.
In the wilderness outside the city, countless monsters surrounded Zhangye City, attacking from all sides like ants. The tall barbarian monsters lifted up poorly made ladders and put them on the wall, each one roaring.
The lying low-level demons climbed up the city wall using the ladders on all fours, and some impatient ones even climbed directly up the wall.
But often before they can climb up the wall, they will be shot down by arrows and rolling rocks falling from the sky, and become part of the pile of corpses under the city. And these corpses will soon be trampled by passing demons and monsters.
Devour it, and even turn it into spellcasting materials for demon warlocks. Demon warlocks themselves are relatively fragile, so they have to hide under the protection of flesh golems before entering the battlefield.
But those demon sorcerers who smiled sinisterly and manipulated magic to absorb the flesh and blood souls on the battlefield to cast attack spells, were always leaning out of the golem defense area and searching for attack targets. One or even several weapons containing powerful
Killed with a spiritually possessed crossbow arrow.
Even if the spell is cast successfully by luck, the flames, ice arrows, and shadow attacks that fall towards the city wall will be blocked by the defensive array that suddenly appears on the surface of the wall. As for those demons that successfully climb up the city wall, they will also be guarded at the top of the city.
The elite sword and shield soldiers blocked the attack with a tough demon cowhide shield, and then chopped off the head with a sharp enchanted steel knife.
On the ten-foot-high city wall, a Song Dynasty archer with a bow and an arrow was hiding at the edge of the city. Under the command of the commander at the rear, he would regularly launch a rain of arrows into the sky to protect himself.
At the same time, it can also kill the demon team that has gathered too much, and cooperate with the sword and shield soldiers on the city wall to push a steady stream of rolling logs and rocks and the snipers hiding in the dark to shoot the demon warlocks, forming a powerful city defense position.
In the sky, a large number of winged demons circled and swooped down, followed by insect clouds composed of swarms of demonic insects. They either cast innate spells or simply scratched and gnawed, relying on ordinary soldiers.
Unable to hit them, he lay on top of the defensive formation floating in mid-air, wasting away the power of the formation.
The spiritual power reserve of the city defense formation is limited. If the flying demons are allowed to waste away like this, they will no longer have the power to resist the long-range attacks of other demons. Therefore, in the past, the defenders of Zhangye City often activated the formation first to resist the second attack.
After a wave of attacks, the sky defense was canceled, and the archers in the city cooperated with the flying cultivators to kill the flying demons.
