Chapter 786: The Heavenly Gate Breaks and Retreats to Meiling
As the battle continued, in the place of the fifth line of defense of Tianmen Pass, there were corpses all over the ground, lying on the ground horizontally, the battlefield had been stained red with blood, and under the light of the fire, many stumps and broken arms could be seen, and the scene was very miserable.
The soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, one side went forward and launched a fierce attack one after another, but the other side was strictly defended and did not give an inch.
It is said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, but now both sides are very brave, so there is no real winner on this battlefield at present, only the ever-increasing corpses, which have been piled up.
When the second wave of elite troops of the Demon Realm army also joined the battlefield, Jun Moxiao finally instructed Baili Kazufeng to order a retreat.
At this point in the battle, the fifth line of defense of Tianmen Pass was finally breached, and only the last line of defense was left of the six lines of defense deployed by Baili and Feng.
The last line of defense, but also the strongest line of defense, this line of defense, in fact, is a majestic and magnificent city gate, the city gate has "Tianmen Pass" three ancient characters, the city walls on both sides extend to both sides, and two mountains are connected, the city wall is more than three zhang high, are built with huge stones, want to attack the city, how difficult.
There is an archway on the city gate, there is a plaque two meters wide and nine meters long on it, on which are written five big characters of "the first pass in the world", the font is strong and vigorous, giving people a sense of grandeur.
At this time, before dawn, two rows of torches were lit on the city gate, like two long red dragons, extending from the city gate to both sides.
Jun Moxiao and Baili Hefeng were standing on the archway at the head of the city gate, and the soldiers on the city wall were already ready for battle.
Jun Moxiao asked casually:
"How many troops do we have left?"
Baili Hefeng solemnly replied:
"In tonight's battle, we suffered 600,000 casualties overnight, the enemy's casualties are about five or six hundred thousand, and the number of troops we can still fight is about two million, and the demon world seems to be the main force has arrived, and I don't know the specific number at the moment."
Jun Moxiao said calmly:
"No matter how many, we now have the advantage of the terrain, and it is probably no problem to hold on for a day or two, and now no matter how many troops they have, they will not be able to give full play to their advantages."
While the two were talking, the army of the Demon Realm had already surged, and a large area of black pressure seemed to give people great pressure.
Those who walked in front of them all held huge shields in their hands, just to prevent the shooting of bows and arrows.
When there were still five hundred meters away from the city wall, the demon world army stopped, and then about 10,000 black-clothed people flew towards the city wall, and the graduate students cultivated to no less than a low monk.
It seems that this is an onslaught that wants to be carried out at any cost, without giving Jun Moxiao any respite.
Jun Moxiao ordered the arrows to be released, and the arrows rained down on them, but ordinary arrows had little impact on them, and they could be shot down with a wave of their hands.
It can only be said that it has temporarily slowed down their progress.
Under the cover of the archers, Jun Moxiao did not hesitate to order a large number of monks from Lingyun Pavilion to rush out of the city wall and start a monk battle.
A large number of monks are fighting, this is a rare picture on the battlefield, and fortunately, Jun Moxiao came with elite troops, if he only relied on the defense of people who were hundreds of miles and winds, in the face of such monks, their casualties would be even heavier.
In the air outside the city walls, swords come and go, and there are even flying swords shuttling through them, and ordinary soldiers can't get close to such a battle.
Half an hour later, the sky had already begun to dawn, and some of the monks of the Demon Realm army finally broke through the defense line to the city wall, and the battle spread to the city wall.
The archers and ordinary soldiers had no choice but to withdraw from the walls, leaving only the same masters of the monks to continue the battle.
The number of monks in Jun Moxiao was obviously not as large as that of the Demon Realm army, once the defense was broken through, more and more Demon Realm masters poured up, and the ordinary soldiers of Baili Hefeng retreated again.
Most of these monks are cultivators below the Jindan stage, some of them are already able to fly with ease, and Jun Moxiao also has monks with higher cultivation around him, but he also understands that in the army on the other side, there are also monks with higher cultivation who have not yet made a move.
Two hours later, it was noon.
In the chaotic battle, the gate of the first pass in the world was unexpectedly opened by the people of the Demon Realm.
As soon as the city gate opened, the army of the Demon Realm poured into the gate of the Heavenly Gate Pass.
It seems that in the first level of the world, what can be blocked is actually only ordinary soldiers, and it is not of much use in front of the masters.
Unless the soldiers defending the city can also have the same number of masters, they will not be able to defend it.
The normal equipment prepared by Baili and the wind before the city, such as rolling stones, bows and arrows, stone throwers, etc., almost did not work.
As soon as the city gate was broken, Wu Changkong led a large army into the city, and the number of masters of the black-clothed man was still increasing, which showed that the army of the demon world was a crazy siege operation.
Seeing that there were too many people rushing in, Jun Moxiao had no choice but to order a retreat.
The ordinary soldiers had already retreated far away, while the monk troops were fighting and retreating, keeping their formation intact.
Jun Moxiao also thought about using the advantage of the city wall to hold on for two or three days, but he didn't expect the demon army to be so crazy and resolute, and he went on a rampage recklessly, with a posture of not breaking the city wall and vowing not to give up, Jun Moxiao was forced to be helpless, so he had to avoid the edge for the time being.
They only lasted three hours. 918
Fortunately, the retreat route had been planned before the battle, and there were masters who broke the rear, so they have maintained a relatively orderly formation and reduced many casualties.
It wasn't until Jun Moxiao's army had completely withdrawn from Tianmen Pass that the Demon Realm army finally stopped its pursuit.
Entering the Tianmen Pass, there is a city in the Tianmen Pass, and the army of the Demon Realm is temporarily stationed in the Tianmen Pass, rectifying the army and preparing to go.
Thirty miles out of Tianmen Pass, there is a river, called Xiaoshui River, this river is just in the middle of Tianmen Pass and Yong'an City, like a watershed, turning this place into two halves.
After crossing the Xiaoshui River, there is a mountain called Meiling, which can be used as a defense line to attack the outer defense line of Yong'an City.
Jun Moxiao and Baili Hefeng led the army to cross the Xiaoshui River and then stationed in Meiling.
After finally settling down, Jun Moxiao and Baili Hefeng, as well as a group of generals, gathered in Jun Moxiao's camp to discuss the next plan of action.
Jun Moxiao spoke first:
"From today's battle, we can see that no matter how good the pass is, in the face of absolute strength, it is all useless."
"If the strength is comparable, we can keep the Demon Realm army out of the Heavenly Gate Pass, but unfortunately, when they attack with all their might, with our current strength, we can't stop their progress after all."
Baili Kazufeng said suspiciously:
"This is not like Wu Changkong's tactical style! Attacking at all costs, not giving us any respite, he wasn't like this before. ”
Jun Mo smiled indifferently and said:
"This is not his style, this is the combat style of the Demon Realm Coach Ye Wuyue, if you don't attack, you will be broken, and if you don't break, you won't stop."
"Actually, for them, this is the best choice, if it is a long-term attack, they will definitely pay a greater price, this is their best time, our forces have not yet been concentrated, but their main force has already reached the Tianmen Pass, if we wait for our troops to arrive before attacking, it will not be so easy."
Baili and Feng said in surprise:
"No moon in the night? Isn't that your former defeat? ”
Jun Moxiao naturally wouldn't tell the truth about the year, so he replied slowly:
"It's him, although he was defeated back then, it was not easy to defeat him, he is an opponent worth paying attention to."
"The most important reason why I defeated him back then was also our strong strength, the Five Nations Alliance at that time, each country sent out elite divisions, and the emperors of the Five Kingdoms also cooperated sincerely, united to seal the main battlefield, and we had a good chance to defeat them."
"His situation back then was just like the situation we are in today, in the face of great strength, all tactics are useless."
"Therefore, his defeat is also the trend of the times, not his personal reasons."
Baili and Feng couldn't help frowning and said:
"Although our current five-nation alliance has not yet been formed, judging from the current situation of the five countries, our strength is far less powerful than that of more than 3,000 years."
"Not to mention anything else, almost all of our troops in the West Rain Country are mainly recruits, and the other four countries don't seem to actively participate in this war, they prefer that our West Rain Country and the Demon Realm army will fight first, and then they will participate after our forces are exhausted."
"When the strength of our Western Rain Country is almost exhausted, they will intervene in the battle with the Demon Realm, and if they successfully defeat the Demon Realm army, they will be able to easily divide up our Western Rain Country."
"In such a situation, cooperation is certainly insincere."
The Tiger King said resentfully:
"At the moment of the great enemy, they don't want to retreat from the enemy, but they are still playing their own small calculations, do they really think that the army of the Demon Realm is so easy to defeat?"
Jun Mo smiled at the Tiger King and said:
"Before today, General Wang probably didn't think the Demon Realm army was very powerful, right?"
The Tiger King replied with a slightly embarrassed expression:
"That's true, in the first half month, we fought every day, although we didn't have an advantage in the head-to-head battle, but with the help of the terrain, we were still able to fight with them evenly, not invincible."
"However, in today's battle, when they went out to fight and saw that there were so many of their masters, I realized that they were still very powerful, and today, if it weren't for the masters of Lingyun Pavilion to break off for us, we wouldn't even have a chance to retreat."
Jun Mo smiled and said in a solemn tone:
"Yes, the 80,000 elites I brought over, after two days of consumption, there are only 50,000 left."
"Although in the battle, their consumption is greater, I estimated, our elite consumed thirty thousand, and they probably lost fifty thousand."
"But they can afford it, but we can't, and that's where the concern is."
"If our five-nation alliance army does not have enough elite divisions, it will be difficult to stop them from attacking with all their might."
