Now wasn't the time to talk about this, either. Bluemoon had Charcoal and the others lead the way as the group rushed toward the target location.
There were countless caves of various sizes in the depths of the mountain stream. No one knew how such a landscape was formed.
Ximen Wuye and the others were burning in flames and surrounded by evil energy. They had only been hiding for a short while, but such a situation had occurred. This made everyone feel uneasy.
"What's going on outside?" Ximen Wuye asked in a gloomy voice.
A general flashed in from the outside. "Evil energy blots out the sky and earth. Arcane eyes are useless, and we can't see the situation clearly. We might expose ourselves if we rush out to investigate."
Ximen Wuye frowned deeply. What he was worried about now was whether their whereabouts had been exposed.
Outside, Niu Youde's five million personal guards had already appeared. They were spread out around the mountain stream and had already surrounded the ambush.
That's right, there were only five million people here, and they were going to fight against ten million imperial guards.
The only advantage was that there were a fair number of evil spirits mixed in with the five million personal guards, which could disperse the evil energy and prevent them from interfering.
One of the evil spirits crouched on the ground and drew out a rough map of the encirclement, pointing out the exact location of the target's hiding place.
After figuring out the situation, Bluemoon made urgent adjustments. She mobilized a hundred thousand men on their flying mounts, each of which was accompanied by an evil spirit to prevent the evil energy from interfering. At the same time, the surrounding army retreated and widened the encirclement.
"Withdraw the evil cloud," Bluemoon instructed Charcoal.
Charcoal was astonished. "Are you joking? Without the evil energy here, do you think your five million men can defeat ten million? "
Bluemoon said, "It's indeed a problem if they're above ground without the cooperation of demonic energy, but they're digging their own graves by hiding in the depths of the earth. There's no way they can unleash their full potential with tens of millions of men. Execute the order immediately.
Charcoal glared at her. "You're telling me not to? To gather the iridium? To run? To run? What a sleigh, what a boat! To reel? To block? To reel? To reel? To reel? Smith → Fuyu Jia Na? To reel? What is the value of π Skeleton Target? To reel?
Was he impersonated as a child? Jia Meng Luo
A hundred thousand flying mounts rose into the air and formed a formation. The Mage Breaker Bows were aimed at the depths of the demonic fog. The demonic fog was already gradually dispersing. When the situation on the ground was faintly discernible, a command was given. "Fire!" Tens of thousands of arrows were released in unison. Countless streaks of light shot towards the mountain stream.
Boom! In an instant, the world seemed to turn upside down.
Deep underground, the earth shook violently, and the cobweb-like cave collapsed in an instant. Ximen Wuye and the others were still discussing whether they should move to another place when a startling change occurred. Just as they raised their heads, they were buried, and after being buried, they were torn apart by a powerful force.
Everyone did their best to cast spells to defend themselves, and with a loud boom, they blasted away the flying rocks and dirt. They couldn't fly in this place, and flying mounts weren't useful in the chaos either. They desperately sent out people to defend themselves, and the messy flying mounts took advantage of the gaps to rush up.
At this moment, the huge shockwave had already dispersed the demonic fog that had yet to disperse, and the people were rushing out in panic.
In the sky, meteor arrows rained down like torrential rain. It wasn't a volley. The commander in the air had two hands up and down. Only a third of the hundred thousand archers who were ready to fire in unison released their arrows, and then another third, and then another third.
The hundred thousand archers in the air took turns to release arrows in three waves, maintaining the offensive. They concentrated their strength and shot in unison, not giving the enemy a chance to build a collective defense.
The millions of people surrounding them were not as well-equipped as the imperial guards. They only had about a million Mage Breaker Bows, but they also shot in three waves. The shooting method was more flexible. They didn't concentrate their arrows on the flying mounts that flew out of the pit.
When the flying mounts were hit, the people on them would naturally fall down.
The evil spirits mixed in with the attackers could only hear explosions and miserable cries. Their faces were either filled with terror or shock.
The people in front of him were so chaotic that Ximen Wuye couldn't see the situation outside clearly. Rocks and dirt flew everywhere, blurring his vision. The flying mounts charged out and landed again and again. The collective defense that they had painstakingly put together hadn't even stabilized before it was destroyed by the concentrated power of the Mage Breaker Bows. The second wave of attacks followed, and a large number of casualties and miserable cries rang out incessantly.
The people below had lost their effective commander. Figures flew everywhere, and rocks and dirt were repeatedly blown up and buried. It was difficult for someone with a Mage Breaker Bow to return fire. Firing arrows was no different from killing one's own people as they charged up again and again.
Even so, there were still some people at the front who didn't care about life and death. They fired wildly without any regard for their own lives.
The scattered meteor arrows did indeed cause some casualties among the attackers, but the commander remained unmoved. Bluemoon had already issued a strict order — they were only allowed to attack and not defend. They were to maintain the rhythm of the attack at all costs and not allow the enemy any time to catch their breath. They couldn't afford to give the enemy any chance to organize an effective defense.
Charcoal's expression twitched as he watched from the side. This was a massacre!
In the huge crater, more than a thousand personal guards were desperately protecting Ximen Wuye with their shields. Looking at the tragic situation around him, his troops were suppressed to the point where they couldn't rush out, and his face was filled with despair.
This was the result of releasing a large number of people. However, there was no other way. If they didn't release their people to fight back, how could they defend against such a dense barrage of Magic Breaker Bows? They would be wiped out in one wave.
"General Han!" someone cried out in alarm.
Ximen Wuye tried his best to tilt his head to look and saw General Han Hai leading hundreds of his men in a formation with shields raised. They found a tricky angle to avoid the central point of attack and rushed out from the weak point around the crater. However, they had just charged out of the pit when they were immediately scattered by the tens of thousands of arrows Bluemoon had set up around the pit. The rain of arrows from the surroundings knocked them back down.
Bluemoon's body displayed the standard of a veteran general on the battlefield. She wasn't inferior to any man and had long since made preparations in this regard. In order to prevent small groups of enemies from charging out, she had stationed ten thousand archers at each of the five points around the pit. The people at these five points had been drawing their bows all this time and would only fire as a group upon seeing a group of enemies emerge.
After being hit by dozens of arrows, Han Hai fell into the chaotic crowd. Ximen Wuye's subordinates squeezed through the crowd, snatched him over, and dragged him into the defensive shield.
Fortunately, Han Hai's cultivation was profound. The Mage Breaker Bows couldn't break through his armor, but it would be very difficult to remove it now. It was already badly deformed, and even Han Hai's body was twisted and deformed, blood flowing from his mouth and nose.
As soon as he saw Ximen Wuye, he didn't wait for Ximen Wuye to speak and raised his hand to stop Ximen Wuye from speaking any more nonsense. He knew he couldn't hold on any longer and couldn't afford to waste any more time. He glared at Ximen Wuye, blood bubbling out of his mouth as he desperately sent a voice transmission. "The other side has no more than five million people. Sending … them … to … bloom … "This was the conclusion he had arrived at after observing the enemy situation while risking his life to charge out. With that, he tilted his head to the side and went silent.
"Brother Han!" Ximen Wuye shouted but gave up. This wasn't the time to be sad, and there was no time to worry about life and death. Han Hai's advice was very important.
At first, he had thought that Niu Youde had gathered a large number of troops to deal with them and that it would be difficult for them to escape. Who would've thought that they only had five million men!
Arrogant! Too arrogant! The Imperial Guards were the most elite army in the world, and they had always been the ones to fight with numbers. Who would've thought that Niu Youde would only send five million men to fight ten million of them, and it was a head-on clash? This was an insult to the Imperial Guards. It was no wonder that Han Hai died with a grievance and cursed, "Bandit Niu is going too far!"
"Report the situation to the higher-ups! Also, tell the higher-ups that I, Ximen Wuye, am the sinner of the Imperial Guards! " Ximen Wuye turned around and shouted to his subordinates. He knew that he had made a huge mistake. He shouldn't have gathered so many people to hide underground. This was not the outside world, and people couldn't fly freely. As the commander, he had to make up for his mistake with the lives of countless of his brothers!
After saying that, Ximen Wuye immediately called for the people around him to follow him to pull people out of the chaos. There was no other way. It was too chaotic, and he couldn't command them normally.
Not long after, a storage bracelet shot out of the pit into the sky. With a boom, it automatically exploded in the air. Hundreds of people riding on flying mounts instantly appeared in the sky, charging towards the archers in the sky.
The commander of the archers in the sky shouted angrily, "Don't panic! Those who disobey will be killed! Left C, counterattack! "
The archers in the sky couldn't help but panic at the sudden charge, but they were quickly suppressed by the commander. The thousands of archers in the left C position swiftly drew their bowstrings and fired, killing the group of people charging at them.
However, a steady stream of storage bracelets began to fly into the air and explode in the air. Groups of hundreds or thousands of people suddenly appeared in the sky, shouting and charging at the archers with all their might.
Clang! Bluemoon drew her sword and pointed. "Reserve team, A1, B1, C1, attack!"
There weren't that many archers on this side, and most of the people were in the rear as reserves. Upon hearing the order, the hundred thousand men in each of the three directions around the pit released their flying mounts and charged into the air, resolving the archers' worries.
However, a constant stream of storage bracelets and people exploded in the air. With so many people fighting in the air, it was difficult not to affect the archers' shooting, and the rhythm of their attacks was gradually disrupted.
The moment there was a gap in the attacks, people who had been desperately charging up below immediately rushed out on their flying mounts. Some were shot down by their surroundings, while others rushed into the air to fight.
