Facing Deng Bochuan, who looked indifferent, I asked softly: "Why do you have to stick to this place if you can't hold it?"
"We can abandon the defense line of life and death, shrink our troops, and gather the four exorcist legions to resist the Ancestor of the Corpse. There is no need to defend here."
Deng Bochuan looked strange, then raised his voice slightly: "You are not a soldier, so naturally you don't understand the truth."
"I can indeed order the withdrawal of troops and abandon the defense of Xilin Gol City. But why have we persisted and defended for three years? Our duty is to resist the evil heretics from invading China. This is our battlefield and our destination!"
"Even if I die, I will die here!"
I frowned slightly and advised: "Save the land and lose the people, and everyone and the land will be lost. Save the people and lose the land, and both the people and the land will survive! Don't you understand this truth?"
Deng Bochuan laughed heartily and then patted me on the shoulder: "Zhang Wuxin, the war is coming so fast that even China cannot prepare for it!"
"We must stand on the front line and buy more time for the rear! The more time we delay, the better prepared the rear will be!"
"That's right! I may die in battle, and the entire Zhenbei Army may be destroyed! But the time we gain is enough to form a new exorcism corps in the rear!"
"It's enough for Commander Di Ming to wake up!"
Zhang Wuren and I suddenly raised our heads and said in unison: "Is Commander Di Ming about to wake up?"
Deng Bochuan smiled slightly: "The evil spirit in the north is soaring into the sky, and demons are rampant. Such changes in the world can be noticed by Commander Di Ming even in his deep sleep."
"He is an upright man and a hero among living people. If he doesn't wake up now, when will he wake up?"
The awakening of Commander Di Ming is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for us. But thinking about the situation facing Xilin Gol City, we can't help but sigh slightly.
In such a state, even if Commander Di Ming wakes up, how can he save Xilin Gol City?
For a moment, we were relatively silent and felt heavy in our hearts.
More than an hour later, all the scouts scattered outside returned to the city, and all kinds of news were passed on.
The evil atmosphere is soaring outside and the demons are dancing wildly. Ordinary scouts can no longer penetrate deep into it. They must rely on the masters of the special combat battalion to find out the necessary information.
Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Army was faster than we imagined. Just after all the scouts returned to the city, the first batch of black-armored demon army had already emerged from the darkness and gathered on the vast ice field outside the city.
Sonorous and powerful footsteps could be heard faintly, and groups of black-armored demonic troops appeared in everyone's sight like ghosts. They stood cautiously outside the sniper's attack range, and then lined up in formation, soaring to the sky.
Affected by the evil aura of the Heavenly Demon Army, those messy and dark dark demons all retreated and gave up their best positions to the Heavenly Demon Army.
I squinted my eyes and looked far away, and saw that the average height of the Heavenly Demon Army was two meters away, and they were wearing uniform black armor. Most of these armors were carved from black stone, which was extremely hard, but very flexible.
Difference.
Under the armor, some are extremely powerful zombies, while others are tightly wrapped in a ball of black air. This is an army of monsters where zombies and ghosts coexist.
The only thing they have in common is the strong demonic aura permeating their bodies!
The demonic army in the heavenly realm takes demons as their companions! No matter you are a zombie, a ghost, or even a spirit or a living person! As long as you are a demon! They will recognize you!
I swallowed and whispered: "These guys are much more powerful than the ghost soldiers and corpses under the Tsing Yi Ghost King!"
Zhang Wuren said angrily: "Nonsense! This is the true direct descendant of the ancestor of the corpse! Thousands of years ago, he fought a neck-and-neck fight with the Yu Dynasty with the help of the demon army in the sky and the Yin soldiers in the area!"
We were discussing here, but Deng Bochuan shouted loudly: "Open the city gate defense! Prepare the light and shadow runes!"
"Logistics force! Don't cut off the power supply!"
A series of orders were issued, and the city was illuminated with light and shadow runes of various colors, illuminating the entire city as if it were daytime.
This is the highest level of defense measure in Xilin Gol City. Once the light and shadow runes are turned on, they will be naturally suppressive against demons and evil spirits.
These lights and shadows simulate sunlight and form the anti-evil patterns of ancient runes. Once the evil spirit approaches the city wall, it will be burned and sealed.
But this is also a great test for Xilin Gol City's electricity. Once the light and shadow rune defense is turned on, all unnecessary power consumption in the city will be suspended.
With Xilin Gol City as the center, the light and shadow runes spread rapidly to both sides, like a colorful ribbon filling the darkness, extending to the extreme distance in an instant.
Facing the light and shadow runes on the top of the city, the Heavenly Demon Army put down their masks one after another, their demonic aura rising to the sky. They stood motionless and stood on the spot, seemingly not paying attention to the light and shadow runes at all.
Deng Bochuan shouted again: "The Flame Troops are ready! The helicopter formation is ready! The armored vehicles are ready!"
Large numbers of exorcist soldiers quickly became busy, armed helicopters and armored vehicles also began to warm up, and the flame troops even carried flamethrowers and guarded the city head one by one.
Seeing that Xilin Gol City was ready for battle, a loud voice suddenly came from the Tianyu Demon Army: "Are you the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, Deng Bochuan?"
We looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a dark shadow floating abruptly in the air.
I felt a chill in my heart and whispered: "Shadow Demon!"
According to rumors, the Shadow Demon is the shadow of the Demon Ancestor. After the Demon Ancestor's death, this shadow inherited all the Demon Ancestor's methods, and by the way, also inherited all the demonic armies in the heavens under him.
Unlike the Demon Ancestor, the Shadow Demon does not suffer serious injuries from thousands of years ago, so he can be regarded as better than his predecessor.
Even the Demon Ancestor back then was no match for the Shadow Demon when fighting alone.
We all even think that the Shadow Demon is actually another life form of the Demon Ancestor.
Deng Bochuan's face didn't change and he said loudly: "Are you the Lord of the Sky Domain, Shadow Demon?"
Shadow Demon laughed loudly: "Yes, it's me! Deng Bochuan, what a surprise! Before I came here, I was worried that Xilin Gol City would be vulnerable, which would make me unhappy!"
"But now it seems that you really exceeded my expectations! Very good! Xilin Gol City is very strong! You are worthy of my full strength!"
Deng Bochuan also laughed loudly; "Shadow Demon, you are also very good. I originally thought that even if I killed you, you would not be qualified to ask for credit from above, but now it seems that you are qualified to be killed by me."
Shadow Demon was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Okay! Okay! You are also a wonderful person! Deng Bochuan! If you die later, I will find a way to help you preserve your three souls and seven souls!"
"The Demonic Army of Heaven! Who dares to take his head for me?"
I saw a black-armored demon general shouting sternly: "I wish to go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of black-armored demonic troops rushed out of the formation and rushed towards them.
Deng Bochuan shouted: "Flag leaders! Who wants to fight first?"
But I heard Jiang Shaoyang laughing loudly: "A mere three thousand demon army! My fellow comrades in the Northern Army! Let's see how I defeat the demon army!"
"Open the city gate!"
While he was talking, Jiang Shaoyang jumped down from the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Three thousand versus three thousand! If anyone gives in, that's the grandson!"
He was like a big bird, and he jumped down from the city wall more than 20 meters high without any damage!
A sword was suddenly unsheathed, and the thunder light shone brightly, making him look like a god. At the same time, the city gate behind him opened wide, and three thousand sword and shield hands stepped out.
I looked horrified and shouted in a low voice: "Three thousand sword and shield bearers fighting against three thousand heavenly demon armies? Senior Deng! Isn't this nonsense?"
Just kidding, what is the biggest advantage of the exorcist warriors? The extremely powerful armored tanks, the overwhelming flame attack, and the armed helicopters hovering overhead!
These are the best ways to deal with demons and ghosts! Even if the exorcist is equipped with a thunder saber, he will eventually be at a disadvantage when facing a dead person.
I admit that Jiang Shaoyang is very powerful. When he fought against 20,000 mandrills with a hundred exorcism troops, he just didn't let the opponent break through the defense line! Such a record is rare in the world.
But war is war. Jiang Shaoyang has flame troops and armored vehicles under his command, why not use them?
Do you have to risk your life to be happy?
Deng Bochuan smiled slightly and said: "He is not fooling around, he is boosting morale!"
"For a long time, the news of the impending arrival of the Demonic Army from the Heavenly Realm has been like a big stone weighing on the hearts of the defenders. Although everyone said nothing on the surface, they were actually frightened in their hearts. The exorcist warriors are currently lacking the most.
What is it?"
"What they lack most is confidence! It's courage! It's the kind of energy and courage that sweeps the world!"
"Jiang Shaoyang used three thousand against three thousand because he wanted to tell all the exorcism soldiers in the city that the Heavenly Demon Army is not scary! We three thousand exorcist soldiers can kill the hell out of the three thousand Heavenly Demon Army!"
"This battle is a battle to boost morale!"
My heart moved slightly. In ancient times, there was a saying about fighting generals. It said that two armies fought, each sending a warrior to fight to the death with the other party's warriors.
If one's own warriors win, the soldiers' morale will be greatly boosted, and they can press forward overwhelmingly and kill them. If one's own warriors lose, their morale will naturally be lost, and they will be helpless and unable to perform even in battle.
Jiang Shaoyang used three thousand against three thousand, which was actually a kind of fighting general! He was using this method to mobilize all the fighting spirit in the exorcist's heart!
He wants all the exorcist warriors to know that the Heavenly Domain Demon Army is nothing more than that! Three thousand of us versus three thousand, in a fair duel, we can still kill each other like crazy!
My heart was agitated, and my right hand was involuntarily placed on the hilt of the black and white sword of life and death. If possible, I even wanted to rush over and kill him!
But I am the person named by the ancestor of corpses to kill. If I appear again, it will inevitably lead to the opponent's masters taking over!
