Ao Tie, who was leading ten men to protect Long Xin, had a serious expression on his face. He could see the power of the enemy's attack.
The remnants of the Six Paths of Purgatory had never used Transcendence Bows to fight against the Heavenly Court's troops before. This was his first time experiencing a battle with Transcendence Bows.
Faced with these nine fearless swords, You Xiang had no choice but to change the direction of the arrows. The Allied Army's arrows had no choice but to adjust their direction and aim at the nine sharp swords. All the arrows from the Mage Breaker Bows immediately split into nine directions and shot towards the nine arrowheads.
They had no choice but to block these nine arrows. The enemy was charging towards them with no regard for their lives. If they didn't suppress their speed, they would immediately charge into their camp. The advantage of the Transcendence Bows would immediately be nullified, and it would become a chaotic battle. This was clearly the enemy's goal.
The Flowing Light Arrow Rain continued to smash the incoming arrowheads. Screams of agony and the scene of blood mist exploding continuously appeared like nine fresh flowers. However, the people that came later quickly replaced the attacking arrowheads and continued their charge.
The attacks from the Transcendence Bows on this side were attracted by these nine troops. The thousands of Transcendence Bows on the enemy's side shot towards them in a frenzy.
The one hundred thousand hostages on this side were quickly killed off by the enemy.
The defensive line of shields on this side was constantly being torn apart, and people were constantly rushing up to fill the gaps.
Long Xin continuously waved his saber and gave orders. His clansmen rushed to the front and formed a shield formation to block the attacks from the Transcendence Bows, covering the army behind them.
Long Xin's reason was to protect the archers' attacks, but in reality, he was also protecting the ten thousand Netherworld troops in his hands. After all, these ten thousand troops were all armed with Transcendence Bows. Long Xin wasn't that noble. He couldn't send his own brothers to their deaths first.
He couldn't do it, and Miao Yi couldn't do it either. So even though Miao Yi agreed? His clansmen were sent to their deaths, he didn't give the order to his subordinates.
To Long Xin, aside from the fact that they were his own people, the strongest force in the allied army was the ten thousand Netherworld troops under his command. Every single one of them had a cultivation base of at least Cailian. It was unwise to let these people die to the Mage Piercing Bow first. Once they engaged in close combat, the result would be disastrous. Once they engaged in close combat, the Netherworld troops might not be able to stop the attack of the eastern elite troops. He had to leave behind a force that could stabilize the situation. His clansmen would provide support.
The two beside Long Xin? The clan elders were stunned by the scene in front of them. The bloody and cruel scenes kept playing out in front of them.
The one hundred thousand hostages were the enemy's own people. How could the enemy kill all of them without any hesitation? They were not like them at all? The human race was being held hostage.
The nine arrows that were constantly being destroyed and constantly being repaired were simply using human lives to fill in the gaps. There was not the slightest bit of humanity to speak of.
? The human race had suffered a catastrophe at the hands of the demonic monk Nan Bo, and another catastrophe at the hands of the Divine Lord of Six Paths. At that time, the two elders were in hiding and did not have the qualifications to enter the battlefield. The disciples of the clan were the same, they had never seen such a huge battle. The disciples of the clan had lived in peace for too long, and had never seen such a fierce battle.
After witnessing this scene today, the two elders gained a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Court's army outside. The tragic scene in front of them made them ignore the fact that the Heavenly Court's army was constantly falling. Human disciples, because more Heavenly Court's people had fallen.
"Sire, there's news from the central army that a small group has appeared behind us. The general wants us to be careful, they might be enemy reinforcements."
Amidst the sounds of fierce fighting, Che Wu's deputy reported to Che Wu while holding the star bell.
The red-eyed Che Wu glanced over. "Does the general have any other instructions?"
The deputy shook his head. "No, he only wants us to be careful."
It was at this time that someone shouted from behind, "Sire, there's enemy activity behind us!"
Che Wu turned around and saw a small group of people rushing over from the depths of the starry sky.
The newcomers were none other than Bluemoon, who had arrived with her troops.
Bluemoon pointed her spear at the enemy troops and shouted, "Fall into formation, attack!"
In the blink of an eye, the figures in the starry sky expanded rapidly. Two million soldiers appeared and charged over with a thunderous roar.
Che Wu narrowed his eyes. The deputy said anxiously, "Sire, I'll lead the troops to defend the rear!"
"There's no need!" Che Wu resolutely refused. He actually ignored the army that was charging from behind and waved his spear towards the front. "Generals, listen to my orders. If we are attacked from both sides by the enemy, our army will definitely die. Dividing our forces to resist is even more suicidal. The only thing we can do now is to kill our way into the enemy's formation. Only then will we be able to persevere until the reinforcements from the Great General arrive! Attack with full force! "
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
Three cone formations charged out once more, and together with the nine from before, the twelve groups launched a frenzied attack.
Nether Hunter The allied army's arrow rain was scattered once more, and their offensive power was naturally weakened. Add to the fact that the enemy troops were charging over like madmen, one of the cone formations stabbed into Nether Hunter's formation. The front row of the allied army fell into chaos, almost as though a hole had been torn open.
Long Xin, who was in charge, revealed a sinister expression. He hadn't expected the defensive formation to be broken so quickly. He waved his blade and roared, "Kill!"
The formation that was shooting while retreating immediately stopped and started to charge in the opposite direction.
Che Wu, who was also in charge, revealed a sinister smile. He had completely given up on the defense at the back and exposed his back to the enemy's reinforcements. He encouraged the army to attack with the momentum of cutting off all means of retreat. Knowing that they were going to lose their lives, the army's offensive power instantly exploded and broke through the gap in the enemy's formation.
"Everyone, attack! Kill!" Che Wu roared and personally led the soldiers in the center to attack with all their might.
The allied army's first line of defense failed, and their rhythm was messed up. The following eleven lines of defense were immediately broken through by the eleven cone formations. The enemy's army immediately charged in like a surging flood, and the two armies instantly clashed together.
The surging mana was thick and continuous. No matter how high one's cultivation was, no matter how strong one's mana was, they could only watch helplessly when they charged in. It was like an expert who could easily punch through a wall with one punch, but if the punch landed on cotton, no matter how strong the force, it would be dissolved into nothingness.
At this point, it had completely turned into a melee fight.
Bluemoon led the army over from the rear, and the archers were ready to shoot to their heart's content. Who would've thought that they would see the enemy kill their way into Long Xin's camp just as they arrived? Both sides were locked in a chaotic melee.
Not to mention the fact that they couldn't finish off the enemy quickly, the losses they would suffer were imaginable. Fighting at close range naturally wasn't as advantageous as attacking from afar with magic breaker bows. Moreover, it was easy to buy time for the enemy. With hundreds of thousands of people fighting in a chaotic melee, even two million soldiers wouldn't be able to take advantage of the situation.
An army campaign wasn't a fight between a small number of soldiers. The most important thing was the formation and not chaos!
"Long Xin deserves to die! Twenty to thirty thousand magic breaker bows and five hundred thousand men were actually breached by three hundred thousand people!" Seeing that the victory was about to be delayed and the losses would increase, Bluemoon couldn't help but curse. She waved her spear and roared, "All troops, charge!"
The true main force, the netherworld army, put away their magic breaker bows and brandished their spears. Two million soldiers charged into the fray, accompanied by a tide of murderous cries.
"Little thief, just as I expected, the main force has a backup plan!" Ao Fei, who had received the news, smashed his fist on the compass. Learning that Che Wu had broken through the enemy's defense line at the last critical moment and bought a lot of time for the follow-up attack, he revealed a ferocious and ecstatic expression. "Che Wu didn't let me down. This battle will be his first merit!"
Wang Yuanqiao said in a deep voice, "Che Wu's men have already suffered great losses. I'm afraid he won't last long under the attack of over two million enemies!"
"Haha!" Ao Fei laughed heartily and patted the compass. "Watch me ensure that he can hold back the enemy's main force for a long time!"
Kong Han cupped his hands. "Since that's the case, give the order, Great General!"
Ao Fei grinned and said, "Send my order to Zhong Sanming, order the millions of scouts under him to quickly retreat to the battle point. The nearest troops are to quickly gather and rush to the battle point to support Che Wu. Every troop that arrives will be under Che Wu's command!" He folded his arms and made a 'gather' gesture.
Wang Yuanqiao and Kong Han came to a sudden realization. Zhong Sanming's millions of scouts were scattered all over the Blackdragon Pond. If one were to say who was closest to the battle point, it would definitely be Zhong Sanming's scouts. Perhaps there weren't many people near the battle point, but they could continuously gather troops and replenish Che Wu's men according to the distance. Although they couldn't help Che Wu win, they could help him last for a long time and buy time for the follow-up army to surround and annihilate the enemy.
The two had already understood that this was a tactic to add fuel to the fire and would cause great losses to their side. Just think about it, charging into the enemy's formation of over two million soldiers was no different from throwing their lives away. However, at this point, casualties were no longer important. The most important thing was to complete His Highness's plan. If the five million elites couldn't eliminate Niu Youde's hundred thousand Netherworld Army, it would have a serious impact on His Highness's eastern army.
After Zhong Sanming's military orders were passed down, Ao Fei continued to issue orders in a deep voice, "Order the million soldiers of Wu Jin Huan to block the entrance to reinforce them. Order Baili Jie, Wen Liu Gong, Luo Ze, and Long De 'an to reinforce them as soon as possible. All the soldiers in the middle are to break camp and set off as soon as possible.
Wang Yuanqiao said, "And Lu Pingfang's millions of soldiers blocking the exit."
Ao Fei raised his hand to stop him. "Lu Pingfang's troops stay in ambush and prevent Niu Youde from escaping!" He then strode out.
"Yes!" Wang Yuanqiao and Kong Han cupped their hands and accepted the order.
On the already barren riverside, Ying Jiuguang, who was standing with his hands behind his back, heard about the situation at the Blackdragon Pond. His dark expression turned slightly better. He nodded slightly and said, "Looks like the battle at the Blackdragon Pond is about to end. Ao Fei didn't let me down!"
Beside him, Zuo Er also heaved a sigh of relief.
Inside the cavern, Miao Yi slammed his fist on the compass when he heard the battle report. His face was expressionless, but his heart was burning with anger. He didn't know how Long Xin fought that battle. Even with such an advantage, the enemy still managed to break through their defensive line. They were already caught in a stalemate. It was inevitable to eliminate the enemy troops, but he didn't know how long it would take. He couldn't afford to waste time with the forces he had on hand!
Mo You and the others still hadn't realized the severity of the situation. Their dark expressions were only because they heard about it. Their clansmen had suffered heavy casualties.
