Chapter seven hundred and seventy seventh tragic street fighting
For a city that cultivates immortality run by a force, there are two places that are most important. One is the formation center in the city, which controls the entire city's formations, and the second is the camp of the city guards.
Generally speaking, the center of the formation is established in the center of the city. There will also be a management office, a law enforcement hall and a city guard, which become the management center of the city. The city guards are distributed near the city gate. How many roads are there?
There are as many camps as there are set up at the city gates.
There is nothing special about the structure of Shenmu City. Many people have been to Shenmu City and know what the structure is like inside. Therefore, as soon as the Nanzhou army entered the city, they went to attack these places.
As the supreme commander, Lin Xiao stopped charging and killing for a while. Instead, he began to dispatch troops and generals, killing most of the enemy and then clearing them part by part.
"Report to the leader of the alliance, the enemy has set up an ambush in the city lord's mansion, and more than 10,000 of our troops are trapped."
"Someone, come to the rescue"
"Leader, I'm going"
Lin Xiao roared loudly, and a voice rang out. Lin Xiao saw that it was a Shenxu stage monk from Qi who led the charge.
"Reporting to the alliance leader, a large number of enemy troops have gathered near the south gate, forming a battle formation of 3,000 people."
"Ma Langfei, support South Gate"
Lin Xiao shouted angrily again, and Ma Langfei responded before leading his team to kill them, forcibly destroying the battle formation of 3,000 people.
Lin Xiao constantly mobilized his troops, first sending people to occupy the four corners of the city, and then slowly pushing towards the center. Lin Xiao had enough men and horses to gather superior forces and clear the streets one by one.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, the rescue near the City Lord's Mansion failed, and Patriarch Shen died in the battle."
"What, come with me"
After a while, someone came to report that the city lord's palace in the center of the city had not allowed the Nanzhou monks in, and had also lost a Shenxu-stage general. Lin Xiao was immediately furious and led his team to kill him personally.
By the time Lin Xiao arrived at the center of the city, most of the more than 10,000 monks who had been trapped had been killed. They were trapped by a killing formation, with only a few hundred enemy soldiers inside. They could use the killing formation, but they were killed and scattered.
They have more than 10,000 troops. Outside the killing formation, the enemy has nearly 20,000 troops guarding them, firmly blocking the Nanzhou reinforcements.
"Where's the Xuan Jing Cannon?"
“Still out there”
"Pull over here, monks above Daogang gather together"
When Lin Xiao saw it, he immediately became angry. Hundreds of monks with Dao Gang and above stood behind Lin Xiao.
"Kill with me"
Lin Xiao shouted and rushed forward with a big sword. The enemy's battle formation immediately began to transform into weapons to fight against Lin Xiao.
"Five Elements Divine Light"
Lin Xiao used the Five Elements Divine Light, which instantly knocked the opponent's weapon to pieces. Then the blades spurted out and struck directly at the battle formation. Dozens of people in the battle formation vomited blood and died, but the battle formation did not collapse.
Lin Xiao tried all his methods. The battle formation of more than ten thousand people could not stop Lin Xiao, an eighth-level monk. Just when the battle formation was about to collapse, Lin Xiao felt a chill in his heart, and he used it without thinking.
The body technique has moved away.
"boom"
A sword light flashed across, dozens of monks were killed, and a figure appeared in front of Lin Xiao, it was the enemy's eighth level monk.
"Lin Xiao"
"It's Mr. Lin, who is here? Mr. Lin will not kill unknown people."
"Kill you, just ask the King of Hell to find out."
"snort"
Lin Xiao sneered. He was just an eighth-level monk. Although he hadn't killed him yet, it wasn't like he hadn't beaten him before.
Lin Xiao was wearing a seventh-level high-grade battle armor, and the magic weapon in his hand was also a seventh-grade high-grade one. Although it was inferior to some monks with a strong background, not every monk had the equipment that Lin Xiao had.
Don't be afraid, at least the equipment on the other side is not as good as his.
"Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire"
"Five Elements Divine Light"
"Man and knife merge into one, splitting the sky"
Lin Xiao used all his methods to defeat the opponent step by step. In the confrontation with Lin Xiao, he was completely at a disadvantage. Lin Xiao's fighting power had always been strong.
"I'll fight with you and everything will come back to me."
The ancestor of the Shenmu Sect was filled with shame and anger. It had been three thousand years since he broke through to the eighth realm. As for Lin Xiao, it had only been more than a hundred years. He, an old senior, was beaten like this by his juniors. He was very embarrassed and decided to fight for his life.
"The man and the sword merge into one, splitting the sky"
Lin Xiao once again used his new magical power. This move was extremely powerful, and it was a bit similar to the way of swordsmanship. One move was popular all over the world. The emphasis was on killing the enemy with one move. If one move failed, he would try another move. It was like a rolling river, with each wave competing against the other.
A strong wave.
The black sword light streaked through the void, directly destroying the opponent's magical power. At the same time, it shattered his already severely damaged cassock, and the man flew backwards.
"Haha, Leader Lin, I got a bargain."
Unfortunately, Ma Langfei happened to come to the rescue in the direction of the man flying upside down. Ma Langfei killed him with a sword light. The monk from the Shenmu Sect threw out a jade tablet, forming a defensive shield and killing Ma Langfei.
Fei's attack was blocked, and then he tore through the void and prepared to escape.
"Bang"
But the next second, he flew backwards like a cannonball and knocked down a row of shops. Two figures appeared again. They were the two eighth realm monks from Kunlun who came to help.
"You three kill him, and I will break the formation."
Three of them couldn't defeat one of them, so the Kunlun monks could die. Lin Xiao simply abandoned his opponent and went out to break the killing array of the city lord's palace. The more than 10,000 monks inside had been basically slaughtered.
"withdraw"
The monks inside saw Lin Xiao coming to kill them. The killing array was internally facing and the defense was not strong. They immediately activated the teleportation array and ran away. By the time Lin Xiao broke the killing array, they had already fled.
This group of people came from the Immortal Alliance for emergency support. When they saw that Shenmu City was hopeless, they didn't want to die here, so they ran away.
Lin Xiao looked at the dozen or so teleportation arrays and felt fierce in his heart. He slashed them with his sword and destroyed them all. Lin Xiao did not dare to follow them. Once they were teleported in place, they would definitely destroy the teleportation arrays. By then, Lin Xiao might get lost in the teleportation array.
In the void, it is very dangerous.
"boom"
On the other side, the eighth realm monks of the Shenmu Sect were jointly killed by Ma Langfei. The opponent self-destructed before his death, blowing half of Shenmu City into ruins. The monks suffered numerous casualties, at least hundreds of thousands of people.
After the death of the ancestor of the eighth realm of the Shenmu Sect, the opponent was leaderless. The high-level monks also felt that there was nothing they could do, so they rose into the sky and dispersed to the four continents. Most of the low-level monks also lost their will to fight and began to flee.
"Stop them and kill them"
Lin Xiao was furious. From what Lin Xiao saw, at least 200,000 Nanzhou monks died in battle. There were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood. Even Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel the overwhelming murderous intention in his heart.
Lin Xiao has arranged people and horses at the surrounding city gates. Except for the high-level monks above Daogang who can fly into the sky and escape, the other monks cannot escape.
The Nanzhou army once again took control of the situation. Lin Xiao mobilized his troops and generals to continuously divide the enemy, and then concentrated his superior forces to continuously encircle and suppress them.
Three days later, the battle in Shenmu City gradually subsided. The street fighting in Shenmu City lasted for three days. Those monks who could not rush out fought like a trapped beast and fought with the Nanzhou monks until most of the brave monks were killed and the remaining monks were killed.
Only then did people begin to surrender one after another.
Lin Xiao walked in the city with a broadsword in his hand. Shenmu City was reduced to ruins. Everywhere he went there were either fires or corpses. The blood flowing from the corpses almost drowned the monks' ankles.
Groups of Nanzhou monks began to clean up the battlefield. For their own wounded, they immediately called for people to take them away and stuffed a healing elixir to extend their lives. The bodies of their own monks were also carefully carried away. As for the enemy's wounded,
On the other hand, no matter the severity, they would just kill them directly, and the monks who surrendered would often have to be beaten violently before being taken away.
This battle was so brutal. It was initially estimated that at least 300,000 Nanzhou monks died here, with countless injured. The Nanzhou army encountered the most brutal battle after entering Central Continent.
Outside the city, dozens of mass graves have been buried. Carloads of corpses were stripped naked and thrown in. The Nanzhou army didn't even bother to cremate them because they couldn't be burned at all. Their own monks could still give them.
The monks of the Shenmu Sect would forget about a decent cremation. Once the pit was filled, they would cover it with soil and then forget about it.
Near the mass grave, piles of storage bags and magical weapons and robes were piled up like a hill, and no one was checking them. In the camp outside the city, tens of thousands of lightly and seriously injured people were crying all night long because of pain, making it feel like a hell on earth.
"Master"
"Yunshuang, what's going on?"
"Ancestor Ma and the others invite you to come over."
"Where"
“At the South Gate”
"I know, I'll go there right now"
Lin Xiao nodded, and then came to the camp at the south gate. Ma Langfei and other senior officials were there.
"What do you want from me?"
"Leader Lin, we want to know the next strategy of the Nanzhou army"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
"Leader Lin, there are monks from many countries who want to go home. It's so tragic that many people are scared."
Ma Langfei replied that due to Lin Xiao's correct decision, the casualties of the Nanzhou monks were very low, so it would be no problem for everyone to fight with the wind.
But taking down the hard nut of Shenmu City really cost too many people. This battle consumed one-tenth of the entire army in Southern Continent. The number of dead made monks like them who had been fighting for a long time feel frightened.
There are dozens of mass graves outside the city gates on all four sides, and they are almost half filled. Most of the area in the city has not yet been cleared. It is conservatively estimated that no less than a million monks died in the city.
Therefore, the monks in Nanzhou no longer have any thoughts of fighting. Many of them just want to get rewards for their war achievements and then go home to retreat and never come out again. It's terrible.
"The Tianyue Sect thinks so too?"
"Leader Lin, it is naturally impossible for us and other senior leaders to think this way, but I don't want to deceive you. Most of the lower-level disciples have this thought, and the Nanzhou army has no fighting spirit."
"Are you worried that the next war will be even more cruel?"
"Yes, most of our monks in Nanzhou and the Immortal Alliance have no life-or-death feud. They are here to make a fortune, but no one wants to make money and lose people. Leader Lin, you need to make a decision."
"madness"
Lin Xiao cursed angrily, feeling a little bit of unyielding anger in his heart. Now that he has reached this point, can you just retreat if you want?
