Chapter seven hundred and seventy-sixth Shenmu City offensive and defensive battle
Early on the next morning, after the low-level disciples had finished their breakfast, the sound of war drums sounded in the camp of the Nanzhou army. The relaxation in the past few days made the Nanzhou monks stunned. Then, under the shouts of officers at all levels, they quickly
Assemble, groups of people gathered in the open space of the military camp.
"Today's siege, the east gate will be the main attack. Battleships and Xuanjing cannons will be concentrated at the east gate. The rest will be feints. However, both main attacks and feints will be treated equally. Whoever defeats the enemy first will be rewarded."
"yes"
"Set off"
Lin Xiao waved his hand, and then led a group of people directly into the east gate camp. The other three Xuanjing cannons had been delivered. Together with the Xuanjing cannon on the battleship, a single salvo could fire thousands of
Fire cannonballs.
The war drums rumbled, and groups of monks walked out of the camp and merged according to the battle formation pattern. The battleships took off and lined up in a row, aiming at Shenmu City from the side. Xuanjing cannons were pushed out of the muzzle. Over there at Shenmu City
They are also being mobilized urgently.
"superior"
The commander gave an order, and thousands of body cultivators stepped forward and laid huge wooden planks on the trench to create a passage for the army to enter and exit.
"The Xuanjing cannon opens fire, cover the army, and the vanguard moves forward."
"Frontguard monks, golden shield formation ready, march"
"Fire"
"Boom, boom, boom"
One hundred thousand forwards gathered into a battle formation and transformed into a huge golden shield to protect them. Then one hundred thousand people advanced together. Maintaining the battle formation while advancing was a test of discipline. Everyone's footsteps must be the same, and
It is also necessary to output the profound energy steadily and not to be chaotic. If one person is confused, everyone may be confused and the battle formation will be broken up.
The Xuanjing cannon on the city wall is also firing. The battle formation of 100,000 people is too huge, and there is no chance that it will miss. They all hit the golden shield. However, the attack power will be evenly distributed among the 100,000 people.
Can bear it.
"attack"
One step slower than the Nanzhou army, the battle formations in the city also gathered and began to attack the forwards, causing casualties to the forwards. Their warships also took off and an air battle broke out.
"Attack without breaking, break the formation beads, go ahead"
"superior"
"boom"
"The protective shield has failed, put it on me"
Formation-breaking beads are strategic weapons of each sect, and people with a little bit of power will store a batch of them. However, with the development of the war, so far, all the formation-breaking beads in the hands of each sect have been almost consumed. Only Lin Xiao
Here, you can take out a steady stream, but due to strategic needs, Lin Xiao only took out a seventh-level formation-breaking bead this time.
As soon as the seventh-level formation-breaking bead came out, the formation at the east gate was immediately affected, and the protective shield was temporarily unable to function. A group of Daogang spiritual light monks immediately flew out of the subsequent battle formation, rushed into the city wall, and chopped down
The monks are being killed.
With their obstruction, more and more monks rushed to the city wall, while the monks from Shenmu City tried their best to stop them, and the city gate also opened on their own initiative. Thousands of monks rushed out to intercept the following monks. As long as the support could not keep up, the rushing
The monks who went up will be beaten down sooner or later, or in other words, they just need to support it until the formation is repaired.
Tens of thousands of people crowded into the city walls and gates to fight, and the fighting was extremely brutal. Many places were so crowded that even martial arts could not be used, so they could only return to the most primitive fighting.
The monks on both sides were harvested like grass, but for senior leaders like Lin Xiao, they were not moved at all. The fact was so cruel. At their level, the low-level monks were just chips in their hands, just a series of numbers.
Half an hour later, the formation was slowly repaired. Lin Xiao ordered the withdrawal of troops. The Nanzhou army slowly withdrew, and cheers erupted from Shenmu City.
After Lin Xiao returned to the camp, he began to adjust his team. This siege mode would take a while. Lin Xiao had to select an elite team and go forward to fight, consuming as much of their strength as possible.
"Alliance leader, today's battle losses have come out. In the four city gates, more than 32,000 people were killed and 5,000 were injured. The enemy's casualties were around 50,000, which was more than us."
"We still need to adjust the team. We must consume the opponent's strength to about 30% before they can react. They don't have many elites. We will fight with them to become elites."
"Here, leader, it's not easy for our elites. Can we lose less?"
"Our elites are easier to replenish than theirs. Don't worry. Those who survive will be heavily rewarded. Those who participate in the battle today will take turns to rest. A batch of rewards can be given appropriately. Those who can break through will be allowed to break through."
Lin Xiao shook his head. There were so many enemy troops. If they were not used up, the losses would be greater. As for the elites, they could just train them. They did not lack war experience, but they only lacked cultivation. Lin Xiao had prepared quite a lot of advanced pills.
A batch of medicines can be distributed.
War is very challenging and puts a lot of pressure on monks. Many monks who have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation can break through in the war. Since the Southern Continent’s army entered Central Continent, there have been many low-level disciples who have broken through in their cultivation.
Lin Xiao said this, and others could not refute it. After all, so far, Lin Xiao's decision-making has never been wrong. Now no one in the Nanzhou army opposes Lin Xiao. Even the Tianyue Sect is convinced by Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao's prestige
It has reached an unprecedented height, even if it is just a hair away from Lin Xiao's goal of becoming the co-leader of Nanzhou.
In the following days, Nanzhou copied the same battle pattern. They had already had the strength to break through Shenmu City, but the subsequent street fighting would cost a lot, so they did not do so. At first, the chief of Shenmu Sect was very happy and felt that he
They single-handedly blocked the attack of the Nanzhou army, but slowly they felt that something was wrong. Because of this, their blood was almost drained by Lin Xiao, and more than half of the elite troops had been reimbursed.
The leader of the Shenmu Sect was immediately ashamed and angry when he reacted. However, almost all the men and horses were dead, and he could do nothing. He could only ask for help from the Shenmu Sect's mountain sect and the Immortal Alliance.
Tang Shuwen of the Immortal Alliance was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He knew that the Shenmu Sect was incompetent, but he didn’t expect that you guys were incompetent to this extent. He couldn’t even think of such a simple strategy. However, the Shenmu Sect still had to save him. The Immortal Alliance could only discuss with the Shenmu Sect, and again
After sending some troops there, Tang Shuwen had fewer and fewer trump cards.
"Master, Night Owl has come to report that Shenmu City has discovered our strategy and has a lot of extra men and horses, including many high-level monks. Also, our spies have been exposed and have died in the battle."
"I understand, are there still any spies inside?"
"There are no more people in the headquarters. There are still a few people in control, but they lack channels to convey information. I'm afraid it will be difficult to spread the news."
"It's okay, go ask Bu Yunshuang to notify the senior management for a meeting."
"Yes, leader"
After a while, Nanzhou's senior officials gathered together, and Lin Xiao reported the changes in Shenmu City.
"Leader Lin, if you say this, we can't copy the previous tactics tomorrow, otherwise we will suffer big losses."
"Yes, if we continue to use the previous tactics, we will suffer losses, so tomorrow we will directly attack the Shenmu Sect. The Immortal Alliance does not have many trump cards in hand. This time we will show our cards."
"Breakable Formation Bead"
"It's okay, I still have it here. Tomorrow, the four city gates will be broken down together, and five thousand cavalry will be prepared on each side. The enemy should not escape from the teleportation array, and they can hunt down those deserters at any time."
Lin Xiao replied, after coming out of Nanzhou, Lin Xiao had already taken out dozens of high-level formation-breaking beads. This preparation shocked many people. Is the Tiansheng Sect already so rich?
However, each family had its own secrets, and no one dared to pry into them easily. Lin Xiao would not joke about such things, so everyone dispersed after discussing some specific tactics.
In the early morning of the next day, the Nanzhou Camp set out again to prepare for the attack on the city. However, this time more than hundreds of thousands of people were fighting. More than a million people had gathered together, and each of the four city gates was prepared.
There are one hundred thousand people preparing for street fighting. These people form a team of three to five or more than ten people. These team members are all from the same sect or family. They understand each other, know the basics of each other, and cooperate with each other tacitly.
"Siege the city and break Shenmu City today."
"Attack, battleship takes off"
"Xuanjing Cannon is ready, aim"
"Pioneers in place"
"Fire"
"Forward charge, charge forward"
"Breaking Formation Bead"
The first wave of fire was from the Xuanjing Cannon under the city and the Xuanjing Cannon from the battleship. After three rounds of volleys, ten golden bodies were dispatched and rushed directly to the sky above the protective formation. They dropped eight bombs in an instant before the place could react.
A seventh-level formation-breaking bead exploded, and Shenmu Sect's protective formation was immediately paralyzed. This time, it could not be recovered in less than half a day.
The forwards have already rushed to the city wall. After withstanding several rounds of blows from the opponent, the high-level monks above Daogang flew directly onto the city wall, while the pulse-condensing and pulse-opening monks can also use the city wall to use their body skills to jump onto the city wall.
The city wall is of little use to the monks.
"boom"
Ma Langfei took action personally, destroying the city gate with one move, and then a large group of people rushed into the city gate. However, the Shenmu Sect also gathered a large number of people at the city gate, and the two sides were fighting to seize the passage.
"On board the flying boat"
Lin Xiao gave the order, and dozens of flying boats took off from the east gate. The distance of just ten miles was quickly reached. The enemy's high-level monks had no time to stop them and countless monks jumped off the flying boats.
"High-ranking monk, charge me"
Lin Xiao personally led the charge, and hundreds of people followed Lin Xiao and rushed into the city. As soon as Lin Xiao entered the city, he took the lead in killing the Shenmu Sect monks at the city gate and let his army enter the city.
As more and more people entered the city, the surrounding city walls fell. The Shenmu Sect monks slowly withdrew into the city. Shenmu Sect was extremely huge. It was originally a big city with millions of monks. After the war broke out, 70% to 80% of the monks had already fled.
Yes, there are many monks transferred from various Shenmu sects, so breaking the city wall does not mean the city has fallen.
"Transfer the street fighting monks and the Xuanjing Cannon, and transform the battle formation into a small battle formation with a few thousand to twenty thousand people to seize key positions and cut the enemy."
"Quick, quick, quick, take down the Xuanjing cannon, enter the city, and seize the commanding heights."
"One battalion, divided into ten teams, maintain battle formation, follow me into the city"
Nanzhou monks quickly mobilized, and dozens of high-level Xuanjing cannons were dismantled. Daogang monks took them with them, entered the city, and then bombarded the crowded places.
The battle formation of several thousand people occupied some open areas and began to clear out the cut enemies. The Shenmu City entered into a fierce fight.
