Chapter seven hundred and sixty-fifth approaching Shenmu Sect
In the early morning of the next day, millions of monks gathered in front of the Five Elements Sect Mountain and waited in formation. Hundreds of flying boats were parked aside. Following the angry shouts of officers at all levels, groups of monks entered the flying boats.
After it was loaded with 200,000 horses, the flying boat took off. Twenty-five warships took off to escort the flying boat. Five of the flying boats were taken from the Hundred Treasure Sect and the Wuliang Sect. Now there are more than ten from Kunlun.
A damaged spaceship is being repaired.
There were also 100,000 monks on board the twenty-five flying boats, with a total of 300,000 horses and horses, forming the vanguard, taking the lead to fight out and heading towards the territory of the Shenmu Sect. Behind them, 700,000 people and horses formed a battle formation and marched all the way.
Bai Zichen became the commander of the vanguard team, and Tan Minghua and other senior officials supported him. They all gathered in a battleship and rushed to the front.
"Report, there is a large army blocking the road twenty miles ahead."
"The flying boat stops, lands, organizes a battle formation, and the battleships attack"
"The flying boat stopped, landed, and the battleship pressed forward."
As Bai Zichen's order was issued, the flying boat slowly stopped. Thousands of monks flew out first to guard the surroundings. The flying boat slowly landed. Groups of monks came out. Under the command of officers at all levels, they quickly
to form a battle formation.
The warships continued to fly, and when they were five miles away from the enemy, Shenmu Sect's warships also appeared. However, they only had five warships, and dozens of flying boats came to charge into the formation.
"A mere five flying boats dare to come here to die. Shoot them down and prepare to open fire."
"Prepare"
"put"
"Bang, bang, bang"
The battleship moved sideways, revealing the Xuanjing cannon on one side. Twenty-five airships approached and three hundred Xuanjing cannons fired simultaneously, bombarding the opponent. The defense on the battleship was high after all. With one salvo, the opponent's battleship was basically
It was okay, but once the flying boat was hit, it would explode, and hundreds of Dao Gang and above monks would fly out of it, quickly rushing towards the battleship.
"The monk team is ready, the Xuanjing Cannon continues to fire"
"put"
"Main gun preparation"
"put"
"Boom, boom, boom"
On the Nanzhou battleship side, hundreds of monks above Daogang level were suspended in front of the battleship, and the Xuanjing cannons on it continued to fire. Although the hit rate of the three hundred Xuanjing cannons was not high, some unlucky ones were shot directly.
Those who were hit were either blown apart or fell down, and obviously they would not survive.
"Guards, kill as you go"
Tan Minglun led the monks to meet the other monks, and the two sides fought together.
"Bai Zichen, the opponent's eighth level ancestor has appeared."
"Senior Chen, enter"
"knew"
Bai Zichen gave an order, and a figure disappeared from his side, entered the void, and stopped the Eighth Level Ancestor who was preparing for a sneak attack.
"The opponent's battle formation is coming, where is our battle formation?"
"Still fifteen miles away"
"The battleship retreats, don't stop the Xuanjing cannon"
"yes"
Bai Zichen ordered the battleship to retreat slowly, and the mysterious crystal cannons on it began to bombard the opponent's battle formation. However, the defense of the battle formation was very strong, and it basically did no harm. It only consumed their mysterious energy.
The battleship retreated seven or eight miles, and Nanzhou's battle formation also moved forward. Two hundred thousand troops formed two battle formations, one on the left and one on the right, and slowly pressed forward.
Each battle formation was divided into a hundred columns, each with a thousand people, and the length reached two kilometers. They advanced like a wall, and they advanced step by step. Soon, the distance between the two battle formations was only one kilometer, and both sides stopped.
Come down.
"attack"
"attack"
The two sides used Xuan Qi to transform their own weapons and blasted each other. The aftermath of the Xuan Qi explosion shattered the surrounding mountains. Smoke filled the air. In the battle formation, monks began to fall.
"The battleship is placed on one side and is firing continuously. It will not stop until I give my order."
"The battleships moved, lined up in a row, and fired a volley of Xuanjing cannons."
Bai Zichen quickly continued to issue orders, and twenty-five warships appeared on the side of the opponent's warship. Then the warships continued to fire to assist the opponent's offensive battle formation.
Three hundred Xuanjing cannons, equivalent to a full blow from 300 monks above the Dao Gang stage, immediately put the pressure on the opponent's battle formation very high, and the losses began to increase.
"Ancestor Bai, the opponent's warship is rushing over."
"Battleships No. 1 to 5, break away from the team, rush forward, and entangle the opponent."
"Battleships No. 1 to 5, leave the team"
The opponent's warships rushed forward very bravely. Bai Zichen separated five warships to intercept them, while the remaining warships stood still and continued to bombard the opponent.
As time went by, the casualties on both sides increased rapidly. The Shenmu Sect was the first to collapse. Their troops were not as elite as Nanzhou, and the pressure to withstand casualties was much smaller. Bai Zichen won easily.
The enemy began to collapse. Bai Zichen divided the battle formation into 10,000 men and began to pursue the defeated troops. The battle formation continued to advance, with battleships covering the sky above, and the five battleships also began to retreat.
"Report, there is an ambush from the enemy ahead, and the pursuing monk is entangled."
Just when everyone thought the overall situation was decided, a sentinel suddenly came to report that there was an ambush ahead, and the ten thousand pursuing monks were unable to retreat.
"How many people are in ambush?"
"100,000 people"
"Haha, one hundred thousand people, this is prepared for us. Order the battle formation to speed up and the battleships to accompany it."
"yes"
Bai Zichen sneered. Fortunately, he was relatively calm and did not disband all the battle formations when the opponent retreated. He did not press them all. Otherwise, if the opponent's 100,000 troops came out, their entire army would be completely wiped out.
Bai Zichen ignored the safety of the 10,000 people and calmly commanded the battle formation to continue advancing. He waited for an hour before reaching the ambush site. There were not many 10,000 people left.
"Kill them all and avenge fellow Taoists from Nanzhou"
"kill"
The battle formation continued to press forward, and the battleships also began to fire. After a little contact, the opponent withdrew. This time they really withdrew. Bai Zichen was not fooled, and there was no second ambush for them.
However, Bai Zichen was still cautious and continued to press in slowly. He waited until he was in front of the opponent's camp before he stopped and set up camp thirty miles in front of the opponent's camp.
At this time, three days have passed. In three days, Bai Zichen moved the front line five thousand miles south and arrived at the hinterland of the Shenmu Sect. In front of Bai Zichen was a place called Lingmu City, which was the second largest city under the Shenmu Sect.
The two major immortal cultivation cities originally had a population of 600,000 to 700,000 people, but now they have one-third of the Shenmu Sect's remaining troops, 1.5 million people.
Follow-up armies from Nanzhou continued to arrive, and soon, three million troops were blocked at the foot of Lingmu City. Lin Xiao set up three camps to surround Lingmu in three directions, and then ordered the monks to dig trenches and build soil.
City, prepare to completely lock Ling Mucheng.
Faced with the actions of the Nanzhou monks, Lingmu City did not take any action, because Lin Xiao still had a direction left, and there was also a teleportation array in the city, so it was impossible to completely lock him down.
"Leader Lin, why are we digging trenches and building earthen cities?"
"Of course it is of great use. I ordered the monks that the trenches must be wide and deep, and all the trenches must be connected together. The earth dug out of the trenches should be used to build an earth city. The earth city should be equipped with black crystal cannons, god-destroying crossbows, and large crossbow arrows."
Lin Xiao didn't explain much, he just ordered them to do it. Tens of thousands of monks started working together. In two days, trenches were dug in three directions. There were six trenches in total. Each trench was ten meters wide and five meters deep, with distances between
Twenty meters, behind the trench is a three-meter-high earthen wall, and the monks are hiding behind the earthen wall.
"As usual, the cavalry is dispatched. This time there are 80,000 cavalry. They are divided into three teams. Which of you will lead it?"
Lin Xiao looked at a group of senior officials and said, after defeating the Hundred Treasures Sect and the Wuliang Sect, they obtained a lot of mounts such as dragons and horses, and Nanzhou added some more, totaling 80,000 horses.
Last time Bai Zichen and the others won a lot of loot, but this time no one was willing to fall behind. Lin Xiao named three people, three from Qi and Qin.
Three days later, 80,000 troops left the camp, dispersed, and began to attack some weak areas. However, the Shenmu Sect did a better job of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and the cavalry did not gain much.
This made the three of them very unhappy. Why did Bai Zichen and the others achieve such great results last time, but they didn't? In a cruel move, the three of them decided to join forces and attack the important locations of the Shenmu Sect.
At this time, there is no place where less than 100,000 people are stationed in the Shenmu Sect. The unimportant places have long been abandoned, and only the most critical places are guarded. The cavalry is no match for them together. They chose a Xuanjing mine.
When I started, several attacks were frustrated.
However, after Lin Xiao learned the news, he immediately selected 300,000 elite soldiers and went to help out. The 300,000 men rushed towards the Xuanjing Mine. The Shenmu Sect immediately received the news. At this time, the Shenmu Sect was in a hurry.
Already.
If the Xuanjing Mine is breached, the Nanzhou monks will be able to obtain a large amount of war resources. On the contrary, their losses will be great. The Shenmu Sect will change generals on the spot, and the passive defensive strategy adopted by the person in charge has now been proven to be wrong.
, they are eager to restore the disadvantage and rescue the Xuanjing Mine.
The order reached Lingmu City immediately. The person in charge of Lingmu City suddenly felt bitter. Because of the strategic mistake of the previous person in charge, the ancestor, it was now Lingmu City's turn to suffer.
The Lingmu City army wanted to break out, but as soon as their monks came forward, they would be hit head-on by Xuan Crystal Cannon, God-Destroying Crossbow, and large crossbow arrows. This did not include obstacles such as trenches. They would suffer losses before they reached the formation.
Many people and horses.
Moreover, the three trenches are all connected, and the three camps can support each other at any time, even if they try their best to break through in one direction, it will be useless.
They didn't dare to leave the remaining city gate. They felt that Lin Xiao would never make such a stupid mistake. It was definitely a trap.
Several breakthroughs were frustrated, and letters of help from the Xuanjing Mine were flying to various places like snowflakes. The Shenmu Sect could not bear it, and their words against Lingmu City became more and more fierce, demanding that they break out as soon as possible. The monks in Lingmu City had no choice but to make the final move.
Get ready, get ready to use your flying boat to break out.
