Seeing the tens of thousands of disciples of the Nine Yang Sect rushing out like a wild wave, Zhang Hao, and even the entire Qixia Kingdom army became nervous.
This, after all, is the Jiuyang Sect! With the same history, there are almost three times the super sect of Qixia Kingdom.
Different from the legion, the disciples of Jiuyang Sect have a higher average cultivation level, and they are familiar with the terrain here. In this mountainous environment, they work in groups of three to five, or in groups of more than ten, forming flexible fighting groups.
They were quick, flexible, and had sharp attacks. The left-wing army was the first to make contact with the disciples of the Jiuyang Sect. They suffered a loss as soon as they made contact.
These Jiuyang Sect disciples have powerful talismans and precious talismans in their hands. They formed large and small battle formations, like sharp knives, instantly cutting through the legion's defense, following the defense
The weakness of the barrier breaks into the legion.
At this time, the battle in the sky was still going on. The new leader Guang Yuanzi led more than seventy people to activate the Earthly Demon Soul Killing Formation to the extreme. Purple-black light surged, and after a moment, a tiger head with a height of one hundred feet appeared.
Roaring in the void.
Purple-black ripples spread out, causing vegetation to wither and rocks to rot wherever they passed. As the ripples swept past, the disciples of the Nine Sun Sect rushed forward and broke into the legion.
Once these disciples broke into the interior, the army of Qixia Kingdom began to collapse on a small scale. It must be admitted that fighting alone, the disciples of the sect are obviously stronger than the army.
After all, the disciples of the sect have accepted orthodox and complete practice; while the army is mostly recruited from ordinary people, and the army can only provide some popular practice and guidance.
Sect disciples can practice wholeheartedly; but the army cannot.
The sect's disciples are rich in resources, and every disciple is carefully selected. However, the army does not have many resources, and it is even impossible to select carefully when recruiting soldiers - it just seems to be about the same.
Therefore, when fighting alone or in small-scale battles, the disciples of the sect suppress the army.
But the army is not a soft persimmon. The 100,000 legions of Qixia Country have just retreated from the battlefield. Under the command of Su Jianzhong, the legions quickly made changes.
However, the legion suddenly dispersed, forming a group of more than thirty people, forming a circling battle formation. The soldiers were back to back, with their swords facing outward. Each group formed a larger battle formation.
Although the terrain was undulating, the legion's front quickly stabilized.
However, such dispersion made it impossible for the legion to maintain the 'Black Turtle Formation'. Su Jianzhong roared and asked the masters in the sky to activate the 'Tiangang Thunder Method' to the extreme to block the attack of the Earthly Evil Soul-killing Formation.
But for the time being, it seems that the overall environment is not good for the Qixia Kingdom Legion!
Liu Xinyu frowned slightly and suddenly turned to look at Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhang Hao calmed down in an instant, and his mind was racing. Zhang Hao dimly realized that this might be an opportunity, and he needed to seize this opportunity, seize the opportunity, seize...
Got it!
Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly brightened: "Your Highness, I wonder if you have ever heard of this saying: Cultivation is not enough to make up for it with magic weapons?"
Liu Xinyu rolled her eyes slightly: "Of course! Even ordinary people know this sentence!"
Zhang Hao smiled slightly. If his cultivation is not enough to make up for the magic weapon, this has almost become a "folk song". But Zhang Hao mentioned this with a purpose, "Your Highness, now we have mastered a brand new 'magic weapon'. That is
...Weapons and armor made of steel!”
Liu Xinyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately ordered the governor of Ninghe County, the city lord Liu Jingming, to go into battle - it was time to test it in actual combat.
The 10,000 elite troops that Wu Fanghai brought to Ninghe County were later put in charge by Liu Jingming, and their equipment had been completely changed. Even the tens of thousands of troops in Ninghe County were equipped with a large number of steel shields and weapons.
In addition, there are hundreds of brand-new cloud-piercing crossbows made of steel; as for the crossbow arrows, there are tens of thousands. Compared with artillery, the manufacture of crossbows is much simpler. The Zhang family only needs to provide basic profiles.
The Weapon Refining Guild is responsible for the rest.
The crossbow arrows are simpler. The whole body is cast from ordinary black iron, and the arrow part is dipped in a layer of molten steel. As for adding formations, etc., it is completely left to the weapon refining guild.
In addition, the more than 10,000 elite members of the Ocean Group are all armed to the teeth with steel.
Dugu Junjie handed over the command of the artillery to Zhang Han and led the elites of Dayang Group to charge into the battle. Zhang Han continued the previous attack - the artillery was completely aimed at the Earth Demon Soul Killing Formation at high altitude. At this time, the artillery shells had been replaced with extended ones.
air burst bomb.
During this period of time, the artillery has attacked the Disha Soul Killing Formation three times. Although it was defused each time, everyone firmly believes that in order for the Disha Soul Killing Formation to offset the power of the artillery, a considerable price must be paid.
In fact, Guang Yuanzi was very annoyed at this time. The artillery attack distance, even in vertical height, was more than three kilometers - it could easily hit them. Every artillery attack could cause huge damage to everyone.
Inside the formation, which was invisible to outsiders, traces of blood flowed from the corners of the mouths of Guang Yuanzi and others, and the armor on many people had cracks. Especially the sharp and strong shrapnel of the cannonballs, which could cut even magic weapons.
Even for Guang Yuanzi himself, a piece of shrapnel penetrated the armor on his thigh and almost cut to the bone. Although he used real energy to block the wound, it still... hurt! The shrapnel was so powerful that the flesh and blood of his thigh almost turned into paste.
.
Moreover, compared with the attack distance of the artillery, the effective distance of the Earth Demon Soul Killing Formation is only three or four kilometers. Now it is three kilometers away from the Qixia Kingdom Legion, which has reduced the lethality of the formation a lot.
While he was struggling, another wave of artillery shells flew in. When Guang Yuanzi saw this, he finally had to roar angrily: "Withdraw!"
There is no way, if we don't evacuate, everyone will stay here; some in the formation who are in the early stage of Nascent Soul can no longer hold on.
After resisting another wave of artillery, Guang Yuanzi and others hurriedly retreated. However, they still dragged the masters from the Qixia Kingdom and prevented these masters from attacking the ordinary disciples of the Jiuyang Sect.
However, without the attack from the sky, the Qixia Army has undergone new changes.
More than 20,000 steel legions suddenly appeared in front of the formation; the artillery began to turn its muzzle and launched an attack on the disciples of Jiuyang Sect. Although the disciples of Jiuyang Sect had dispersed, in this limited terrain, the overall
Still quite crowded.
The 25 artillery pieces turned into killing machines, clearing a space of three to two hundred meters each time. After two attacks, the disciples of Jiuyang Sect were frightened.
In the face of something like artillery, traditional means such as defense, avoidance, and using offense instead of defense are all useless.
If the opponent is alone, he can still fight back desperately, survive in death, and force the opponent to defend. But how to fight back when faced with artillery shells? Just stay close!
At the same time, more than 20,000 steel-armed legions appeared on the front line, fighting hand to hand with the Jiuyang Sect disciples.
In an instant, the Jiuyang Sect disciples let out screams of death.
These steel legions do no defense at all. They trust the armor on their bodies 100%. Talismans, talismans, magic weapons, and magic attacks fall, but they cannot break through the defense of the steel armor.
But the elites who were mostly behind the armor raised their swords and cut down each of the Jiuyang Sect disciples who had just launched the attack and had not had time to recover.
Leave the defense to the armor and attack with all your strength! These are the elites in the military, and the weapons in their hands are all made of steel.
The armors worn by the Jiuyang Sect disciples were damaged by the attacks of steel weapons, and their shields were penetrated.
Often the first strike will break the defense, and the second strike will damage the person!
This is a strangulation of steel, and it is also the power of industry.
Artillery is a product of industry.
Steel weapons and armor are also products of industry.
Jiuyang Sect originally had a strong advantage, but under the attack of these two industrial weapons, its morale quickly wavered.
The artillery rumbled and exploded. Each salvo of the 25 artillery pieces would create a no-man's land; ferocious 'scars' appeared among the tens of thousands of disciples of the Jiuyang Sect. Each salvo represented hundreds, or even hundreds.
Casualties of disciples.
Although the battle formation of a small team is flexible, it cannot stop the power of artillery!
There are also more than 20,000 elites armed to the teeth. They form a sword formation and attack the Jiuyang Sect disciples like circling saw blades.
Suddenly, a faint ringing of bells came from behind Jiuyang Sect.
"It's the signal to retreat!" someone next to Liu Xinyu said.
Zhang Hao suddenly spoke: "I suggest: extend the artillery to block the retreat of the Jiuyang Sect disciples! The army is approaching, and try to drive the Jiuyang Sect disciples together. Those bombs can be used."
Liu Xinyu adopted Zhang Hao's advice, and a mass strangulation began!
