A cool breeze blew gently. The fourteen Wen Jie armies that had rested for a day lined up neatly once again. They climbed up the city walls of Double Realm Mountain and stood behind the thirteen city sections.
Unlike the first time they climbed up the city walls, every Pearl River Army soldier's face was filled with confidence and calmness. Even though the stench of blood filled their nostrils and spread throughout their bodies, none of them vomited or even frowned.
This was because in their memories, the city walls of Double Realm Mountain were a land of blood and fire. It was also a land of victory and glory.
Fang Yun looked around and noticed that a few Wen Jie armies were the exact opposite of the Pearl River Army. Their faces were filled with uneasiness.
There were still fourteen Wen Jie armies today. However, the two armies of the Yan Kingdom had merged into one and were guarding one section of the city.
Fang Yun silently glanced at them. The armies of Double Realm Mountain that had climbed up the city walls had all done the same. First, the two armies of one kingdom had merged into one army. Then, the remaining soldiers of the two kingdoms had merged into one army. Finally, all the soldiers of the seven kingdoms had merged into one army.
After that, Fang Yun looked at the rear of the Pearl River Army.
A total of twenty brand-new crossbow mechanisms stood on the tracks of the city walls. Ten of them were Luminous Iron Poison Arrow Crossbows, while the other ten were Bullhead Horn Crossbows. In addition, Fang Yun had used up all his military merits for the past few days with the Great Confucian Treasure Pen in his hand.
The reason why the Pearl River Army was in high spirits today was partly because of these twenty mechanisms.
After the other Wen Jie armies, there were also some mechanisms that were exchanged for military merits. However, none of them were Luminous Iron Poison Arrow Crossbows or Bullhead Horn Crossbows. They were all inferior mechanisms. They could pose a threat to Daemon Marquises, but they were not very useful against Daemon Kings.
Every time the generals of the other Wen Jie armies saw the twenty mechanisms of the Pearl River Army, they would feel ashamed. This was because their military merits were too little. They could not exchange for these two powerful mechanisms. They did not even have enough military merits to exchange for one of them.
The generals of the Qishan Army looked at the twenty mechanisms that were more dazzling than the sun. Their eyes turned green. A few of them even swallowed their saliva. They could not wait to rush up and snatch the twenty mechanisms.
In a critical moment, these twenty mechanisms could be used as twenty scholars. Without these twenty mechanisms, it would be the difference between life and death.
Just last night, the Demon Realm had stopped their 'sea of demons' tactic. Hundreds of millions of demons and barbarians died in exchange for the lives of millions of human soldiers. This was a major failure for the Demon Realm.
Starting from this morning, the demons and barbarians continued to use the normal method of attacking the city. The various races mixed together and climbed up the city. From the demon commoners to the demon marquis, they freely cooperated with each other. The demon kings and great demon kings continued to guard the rear and look for suitable opportunities.
Time passed slowly.
The soldiers of the Wen Jie Army were dying one after another.
Prince Jing of the Qishan Army had returned to the Wen Jie. There were only Marquis Shang Wuhou and Gou Bao, two scholars left in the army. When the demons and barbarians suddenly launched a large-scale attack, the two scholars were unable to take care of everything. As a result, the Qishan Army continued to lose members.
After another three days of fighting, the Qishan Army was left with only ninety thousand men. When they were resting, the other two armies from each country combined into one army. This way, the Wen Jie Army was only left with the armies of the six countries, the Qishan Army, and the Pearl River Army. They could only defend eight city walls.
The Wen Jie Army rested for another day. The eight armies appeared below the city walls for the third time, waiting for the order to climb up the city walls.
The Pearl River Army and the armies of the six countries each had more than a hundred thousand men. The armies of Qin and Zhao even had more than two hundred thousand men. Only the Qishan Army was left with only ninety thousand men.
The eight square formations were of different sizes. The smallest Qishan Army was slightly more miserable.
Wang Li said loudly, "Scholar Gou, you said before the battle that you wanted to compete with the Pearl River Army in terms of military merits. How about now? Our Pearl River Army is ranked sixty-seventh in terms of military merits! Our Pearl River Army, on the other hand, has only fought for six days! Do you know what this means? It means that our Pearl River Army is ranked in the top five in terms of average military merits per day! The armies that are ranked ahead of our Pearl River Army have all fought continuously for more than a month! "
Gou Bao did not seem to hear him. He looked straight at the city walls in front of him.
"Scholar Gou, you agreed to compete with our Marquis in terms of military merits. The winner will receive the banners of the two armies in three months, while the loser will donate all of his family's property to Mount Borderline and provide it to the human race. Do you remember this? Don't tell me a scholar like you doesn't dare to answer? "Zhang Qingfeng asked.
Gou Bao snorted coldly. He did not look at Zhang Qingfeng. "It hasn't even been three months. Isn't it a bit too early for everyone to celebrate?"
"Scholar Gou, you said before the Wen Jie Army joined the battle that the Pearl River Army would lose without a doubt. Compared to you, we're not early," Zhang Qingfeng retorted.
"Enough nonsense. We'll see the results in three months," Gou Bao said.
Wang Li asked, "Old Man, there's something you don't understand. If the Qishan Army's numbers suddenly decrease and they can't participate in the defense, will it count as their defeat or the end of this matter?"
"How can Old Man be so shameless? If any army is defeated and can't defend Mount Borderline, it'll count as an early defeat! "Gou Bao said.
"That's good! It seems like we'll see the results in three days, "Wang Li said.
Gou Bao laughed coldly, not saying a word.
Fang Yun glanced at Gou Bao, a hint of suspicion flashing through his eyes.
Gou Bao wasn't like the dead Marquis Lumen who didn't show his emotions. His self-restraint wasn't great, but at this time, everyone knew that the ninety thousand soldiers of the Qishan Army wouldn't last three days. Yet, Gou Bao was still stubborn. This meant that he had found something to rely on.
"What kind of trump card does he have? Could it be … "
Soon, Two World Mountain's Ministry of War gave the order for the eight armies to ascend Mount Borderline for the third time and defend the eight sections of the city.
The battle on Mount Borderline was still incomparably intense. The eight armies had just changed defenses when they fell into a chaotic battle.
Fang Yun immediately wrote the [Army Walk] and summoned ten thousand cavalry. Three powerful weapons floated in the sky between the cavalry summoned by the other generals and the soldiers of the Pearl River Army. This was the last line of defense. Then, Fang Yun sat on [Rising Cloud] and continued to read and study.
In the battle a few days ago, Fang Yun had been fighting like this and didn't fight directly.
The battle lasted from morning to night. The Pearl River Army had already switched to the second army of seventy thousand.
Today, the Qishan Army had lost thirty thousand people and only sixty thousand people were left. This was the remaining sixty thousand people of the Qishan Army. They couldn't rest and couldn't wait for reinforcements, so they could only continue to fight.
They ate rations while fighting.
Dinner time had just passed. Jie Bingzhi sent a letter to Fang Yun while hurriedly running over to Fang Yun.
"Marquis Fang, Chu has sent new reinforcements of the Qishan Army. The command division has already allowed them to arrive at Mount Borderline!"
Fang Yun was stunned and instantly understood. Gou Bao must have discussed this with the King Of Chu. Once the Qishan Army was defeated by the Pearl River Army, the King Of Chu would definitely send new reinforcements to help the Qishan Army until they defeated the Pearl River Army.
"How many reinforcements are there?" Fang Yun asked.
"The number is very strange. There are only a hundred or so." Jie Bingzhi was already close. When he spoke, his expression was very serious.
Fang Yun's face sank. If there were a few hundred thousand reinforcements, it would be good news. But if there were only a hundred or so, it was bad news.
"It seems like you have guessed it. The positions of those hundred or so people are probably very high. There will be no less than three scholars." Jie Bingzhi knew.
Fang Yun nodded and didn't say a word.
