The Sacred Ding - Chapter 1046

As long as there are mountains more than 500 miles along the way, the Dragon army can use the mountains to cut and delay the magic soldiers, and stare at the magic soldiers on one wing to resolutely fight back. Or there are large lakes and rivers covered with ice and snow along the way, which is a good opportunity for the Dragon army to fight back against the magic soldiers.

Although the troops in the southern defense line of Beiling were evacuated, the Longxiang army was still located in the inner line. It had the advantage of inner line operation in terms of force supplement, war equipment and material supply. Even a considerable number of war equipment and materials were prepared at a secret place, waiting for the Longxiang army to reorganize when it passed.

In comparison, the demon clan, on the one hand, plundered a small number of human survivors in the mountains for food, on the other hand, constantly drove miscellaneous demons north from the South Bank of Wantao river for food, but it was far away from the stronghold on the South Bank of Wantao river. In all respects, it was not as convenient as the Dragon army. In the end, ghost Xi old devil had to gather more demon soldiers and generals in the middle road to limit the movement of the Dragon army.

The Dragon army is dominant in the entanglement in the ice and snow. Also, Chen Hai is willing to abandon a large number of heavenly weapons on the battlefield. In addition to attacking and counterattack, he is also willing to equip a small number of troops with a large number of heavenly weapons to cut off the entanglement of the magic soldiers in time. The casualties of the Dragon army are far less than those of the front confrontation magic soldiers.

However, ghost Xi demon Zun didn’t think the demon clan would lose.

Although the soldiers and horses who entangled the Dragon army suffered heavy casualties, lost more than 200000 in almost two months, and were still elite, there are still unimaginable numbers of stranded Terrans who did not withdraw north before the winter offensive, outside the narrow battlefield entangled with the Dragon army, and between the vast areas surrounded by jitianqu, Zibai mountain, Wantao River and nu Chuan river.

On the one hand, these people saw that the Beiling army did not withdraw to the north, thought the situation was not so dangerous, and stayed with luck. After all, it was too difficult for civilians to migrate thousands or even tens of thousands of miles to the north.

On the other hand, there are a large number of large and small clans in Beiling, which do not recognize or even refuse to accept Chen Hai’s rule. Chen Hai wanted to set up a wide range of counties and cities before Nu Chuan River, and wanted to extend his rule to the level of counties and cities, so as to make more adequate dispatching of manpower and materials, which was resisted by the middle and lower clans that dominated the local power in the past.

These two main reasons led to the fact that when the region entered winter, there were still 200-300 million civilians stranded, which was delayed until a large number of demon soldiers entered the north and then fled North in a hurry.

Just the escape speed of 200-300 million people, where can millions of magic soldiers enter and join quickly?

How many days can local small-scale resistance be held under the siege of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of magic soldiers?

Those who really have a chance to escape are near Wuchang, Lingzhou, Tianshui and other cities, and on the back of the battlefield where the Dragon army is entangled with the devil soldiers and the devil soldiers dare not start quickly.

In the past two months, ghost Xi demon Zun led the main force of magic riding, entangled with the Dragon army, made no achievements in war, and even suffered heavy casualties. However, more than a dozen other magic soldiers destroyed countless cities, annihilated local soldiers, prepared millions of miscellaneous soldiers, and slaughtered tens of millions of ordinary people, which can be said to be brilliant results.

More importantly, with tens of millions of ordinary people as blood food, the elite magic soldiers obtained from the transformation of miscellaneous demons and even ordinary magic pawns can far make up for the consumption.

Therefore, the demon family’s winter offensive lasted for two months, which can be said to be a great success.

At the beginning of February of the second year of emperor lie, there was still a month to a month and a half before the thaw of Wantao river. The Dragon army, who had been entangled with the magic soldiers for two months in ice and snow, was also exhausted and retreated into Wuchang City to rest.

Although there were as many as two million magic soldiers and generals gathered outside Wuchang City at this time, in addition to the Dragon army, Wuchang City was guarded by the heaven and earth array, as well as the 500000 elite Beiling army led by Fu Siyuan and others, tens of thousands of Tianji chariots and 30 green whale class armored warships called mobile fortresses. Although the river ice was blocked and could not move at will, But it also formed a solid barrier to shelter the front of Wuchang City.

In less than a month for the demons, the Beiling army is not afraid of ghosts. Xi old demons dare to attack Wuchang City. However, more than two million demons gathered outside Wuchang City, sweeping away the cities and villages outside Wuchang City. They even sent demons to cross the Nu Chuan River and sweep away the cities north of Wuchang City. Chen Hai can’t do anything in Wuchang City.

In order to prevent the demons from going too deep into the densely inhabited area north of the Nu Chuan River, the Dragon army entered Wuchang City to rest for two days, left the wound in the city, supplemented some living forces, went out of Wuchang City and pushed forward along the two sides of the Jitian canal, forcing the demons to gather in the south of Wuchang City.

This is also an unspeakable temptation for ghost Xi devil.

The Beiling army and the elite Longxiang army have only 800000 troops and horses in Wuchang. Other Terran troops and horses are far away from here. Even if the wind flame airship can be dispatched quickly, there is no way to assemble in six or seven days.

The Long Xiang army was alone and left Wuchang City for three hundred miles. Although it was still within the coverage of the ten thousand immortals killing demons array, it was still three hundred miles away. The ten thousand immortals killing demons array, as the heaven and earth protection array, was not very powerful. At least it could not be compared with the nine days and ten Earth trapped demons array and gengyang Jinlei array. As long as the demons were behind the two sides of the Long Xiang army, Deploying two blood refining magic arrays can not only block the retreat of the Dragon army, but also make it difficult for the Wanxian evil killing array to play any role

In this way, even if the 500000 Beiling army in Wuchang City is dispatched, ghost Xi demon Zun is confident to use the superior force outside Wuchang City to eat all the Terran soldiers and horses in front of him in a short time.

The first large-scale battle in the real sense was not launched in front of a small ridge 400 miles away in the south of Wuchang City until the beginning of the second year of emperor lie. First, two magic soldiers and magic generals, with 10000 dragon magic cavalry as the core, organized 200000 step cavalry coordination, carried a large number of simple war equipment, interspersed from the two wings to the Jitian canal to resist the side of the Dragon army, Seeing the slow response of the Dragon army, he drove a large number of miscellaneous demons and Terran prisoners to this area and formed several blood refining magic arrays, like several large blood clouds over the Jitian canal.

At this time, ghost Xi demon Zun and the main force gathered back under the leadership of the great demon monarch Wuzhen and Qiushan rushed from the front and planned to crush the Dragon army entrenched in the unknown mountain on the Bank of Jitian river with the momentum of Mount Tai.

On February 6, the demon clan completed the deployment before the attack. Although the main force did not come up, it also launched a tentative attack. Before nightfall, the garrison left behind in Wuchang city also began to move. In addition to leaving 100000 troops and horses in the city, Fu Siyuan personally led 400000 troops and horses out of the city and went south along both sides of the Jitian canal, ready to go 400 miles away to support the Longxiang army led by Chen Hai.

Within the territory of Beiling state, all spirit riding war birds are given priority to the Dragon army. Therefore, Wuchang City has 500000 garrisons and only more than 20000 war horses. Other people and horses ride ordinary camel horses. They can walk four or five hundred miles a day in ice and snow.

Ghost Xi demon Zun also wanted to wait for the garrison of Wuchang City to come, and then carry out the final decisive battle, so as to save the Dragon army from being defeated halfway, which would make Chen Hai lead the remnant to escape into Wuchang city again with the Garrison who did not come. At the same time, he also ordered the demon army far away from Wuchang City and unable to catch up with the battle, and sent as many demon princes, demon generals and wing demon elite to the south of Wuchang City as possible.

The decisive battle expected by ghost Xi devil should be fully launched at noon on the 7th.

It noticed that the Terran tried to break through the ice on the jitianqu River south of Wuchang City, so that its Navy warships could enter the scheduled battlefield.

But at this time, the ice layer on the river of jitianqu is more than two feet thick. It is difficult to break such a thick ice layer by ordinary means. It is very easy to gather swords to repair xuanxiu, blast open the ice layer with spiritual sword magic weapons, and even break the ice directly by using the ten thousand immortals to kill demons array. However, it is easy to see that the defenders gather more than 3000 swords to repair and cooperate with the ten thousand immortals to kill demons array to break the ice with all their strength to cover the green whale class warship going south at full speed, Every hour is only ten miles ahead.

After all, the Lingyuan mana of sword repair and xuanxiu is not unlimited, and ghost Xi devil sent a small number of elite magic soldiers, especially the elite wing demons, trying to force Wu Chang City from the flank, which can force the garrison to concentrate the defense of Wanxian evil killing array on the city itself, which is difficult to help break the ice.

Of course, these alone are not enough. Ghost Xi devil still gathered a larger blood refining magic array behind the side of the Dragon army to gather the blood evil giant blade to attack three or four hundred miles away, forcing the Terran sword repair and xuanxiu who went with the green whale class warship to have to allocate a large number of people for defense, so as to further slow down the speed of Terran sword repair and xuanxiu’s ice breaking.

These green whale class armored warships, which can be called mobile fortresses, have to arrive at the scheduled battlefield in four or five days. Even if they strengthen interference, they can further reduce the speed of green whale class armored warships. Ghost Xi’s confidence is also inflated to the extreme. He arranged all magic soldiers and Demons to enter the scheduled position overnight to gradually increase their attack at dawn.

Wu Zhen, the great devil, was still a little uneasy. He said goodbye to ghost Xi and came out and personally rushed to the forward position less than 20 miles away from the defense position of the Dragon army to observe the movement of the Dragon army nearby.

On the defensive positions of the Longxiang army, in addition to more than a dozen forbidden level defense arrays, and Tianji chariots hidden in the depths of the woods, the soldiers are stepping up their time to create obstacles such as antlers and horses. They are also digging more and deeper trenches in the hard ice soil. It can be seen that the Longxiang army wants to use the terrain to defend the moment when the ice and snow melt and they have to withdraw their troops.

The great demon, Wu Zhen, was in Cangling city. He had seen how terrible the Dragon army’s will to defend the city was. Seeing that the Dragon army was fully preparing for defense, he was more worried about the possibility of eating the Dragon army in front of him and 400000 troops out of the city in three or five days. I guess in the eyes of ghost Xi devil, Maybe it’s worth changing more than 2 million magic soldiers here for the Dragon army and the destruction of 400000 defenders out of the city.

Even more, with such a great sacrifice, Wu Changcheng can be taken down. At that time, all the magic soldiers on the North Bank of Wantao River can gather in Wu Changcheng and stick to it until the next winter. After all, they drive tens of millions of people into Wu Changcheng, which can provide them with necessary supplies.

At this time, the great Demon King Wu Zhen also changed from worry to support ghost Xi devil to boldly encircle and kill the Dragon army. He thought that after killing the most difficult enemy encountered by the current demon family, it would be quite easy to eliminate the two connected people of Tiannan and Yue who have not fought hard with the demon family for more than 10000 years

But at this time, the great Demon King Wu really felt that the southward advance speed of the garrison out of the city had been slightly improved. Due to the high morale of the Beiling army, ghost Xi devil couldn’t explore the situation inside the Terran troops and horses marching queue. He looked up and saw that the Lord in the North would gather more bloody devil blades to cut into the Terran marching queue out of the city, The great demon Wu really guessed that the garrison might want to come and join the Dragon army, but as long as it’s like a mobile fortress, the green whale class warship can’t speed up.

The blue whale class battleship is not unbreakable. If it was just a green whale class armored battleship, the great demon Wu Zhen was confident that it would not take a long time to dismantle a green whale class armored battleship into a pile of scrap iron, but the problem is that the combination of the green whale class armored battleship and the elite Terran troops will double the attack and defense of the elite Terran troops, This is terrible.

This is also the key for the demons to withdraw to the South Bank of Wantao river before the river ice thaws.

The attack power of a blue whale armored warship is even stronger than that of a thousand heavenly secrets. Moreover, on the wide water surface, the magic soldiers and demons have limited means to attack the blue whale armored warship and are easy to be defended

While thinking about the power of the green whale armored warship, the great Demon King Wu Zhen flew to its magic tent, but it restrained the evil wind and clouds. Before it fell to the big tent, an idea suddenly flashed in the sea, and then shouted in the direction of ghost Xi Devil: “No, we’ve got it! Each green whale class armored warship weighs more than 40 million kilograms and can crush the river ice quickly with its own weight. But today, the Beiling army has been using spirit sword magic weapon or Dharma array to break the ice all day. Why? Chen Hai wants us to misestimate the time when the green whale class armored warship enters the battlefield!”

In addition to the ghost Xi devil, the great devil Wu Zhen also divided the devil’s knowledge into dozens of ways and informed all the demons that they had fallen into the trap set by Chen Hai. They must break away from the Dragon army as soon as possible and withdraw South immediately
