Chapter 318: Release Li Jing
A white ball of light rose into the air, illuminating the originally pitch-black mountain area into daylight.
In an instant, dozens of tongues of fire erupted from the cave carved out of the blue rock wall, which was originally pitch black and nothing could be seen, and a piercing sound suddenly erupted.
In a panic, the two heavenly soldiers who flew at the front and came to sneak attack fell to the ground with dozens of bullets.
"Oh no! There's an ambush -- get out of here!"
Hundreds of heavenly soldiers, under the command of the heavenly generals, began to take advantage of the barrier of the mountains and hurriedly withdrew.
When they withdrew five miles away, they suddenly realized that the other party was not chasing them.
"Isn't it an ambush, do you want to go back?" a heavenly soldier looked back at the dark mountain trunk, swallowed his saliva, and looked at his comrades beside him.
"Fool only to go back!" said another celestial soldier who fluttered his wings and flew beside him hatefully.
There was a rumbling sound from another place, and it was time that the war was going on again.
On this night when they couldn't see their fingers, they could clearly see the light flickering back and forth between the mountains in the distance.
The sound of such a loud sound shows that the other party not only used a thunderbolt tube, but also mixed with the large cylinder that used several doors.
The absence of lighting indicates that both sides are simply unprepared for the ongoing battle. Maybe one of the parties came out to sneak attack and strayed into the territory of the other side, or maybe it was simply two night raiding forces of the two sides that met by chance.
This kind of thing happens from time to time, not to mention at night, even during the day. The situation is so chaotic that no one knows what kind of means the commanders on both sides are using to direct such a chaotic war......
Or, maybe they're not directing at all.
"Let's go, let's retreat. It has already been discovered. There is no point in sneak attacking. "The head of the heavenly generals.
With a group of heavenly soldiers. He flew low along the mountain and retreated.
The crescent moon poked its head out from behind the clouds.
Right in the cave they had just evacuated. There were hundreds of wounded soldiers of the demon army lying on the ground. The more than ten wounded soldiers lying at the entrance of the cave were all armed with two thunderbolts, and they were all sweating profusely.
If the other party hadn't been scared away just now, they would all have to die here......
The demon soldier lying on the outermost part with minor injuries turned over with difficulty, handed the thunderbolt in his hand to the demon soldier behind him, and motioned for him to pass in.
"I'm gone, any of you still have spiritual power, hurry up and make up for the thunderbolt, otherwise if there is another attack, you will die together." β
"I've just recovered a little. I'll do it. "There's a youkai in the back with their hands raised.
"Can we make it until dawn?" asked a banshee, curled up in a corner.
Then the faint moonlight that came through the cavern, she could clearly see blood-stained faces, red eyes blinking in the darkness, but no one answered her question.
......
In the distance, another white ball of light rose into the air, instantly illuminating the temporarily built Tianhe Water Army camp in the valley.
This was followed by tongues of fire and roars that twinkled like stars on the mountains all around.
Vigilantly staring at the heavenly soldiers who were running around in the camp but had nowhere to hide and could only scream and wail, holding the big cylinder with faint smoke beside him, one of the horned snake's hands had been raised: "Prepare for an assault." β
Hearing the sound, it was right next to him. Countless swords unsheathed.
It is often most effective to launch a surprise attack immediately after the bombardment of large cylinders and thunderbolts. This is the tactic summed up by the demon army in the battles of the past few days.
In the last round of bombardment, a shell landed in the camp and threw the brazier into a large tent, which set the canvas on fire.
The horned serpent was about to wave his hand, but it paused, staring intently at the tent without moving.
All the youkai held their breath, staring at the horned snake with wide eyes one by one, waiting for him to give an order to rush directly into the camp and slaughter the heavenly soldiers.
"Boss, don't charge?" asked a demon soldier after a long time.
"Wait. The horned serpent still stared at the tent with wide eyes.
Until the flare in the sky completely failed, the whole tent was ignited, and even the simple wooden structure had been burned and collapsed, and the horned snake did not see half of the heavenly soldiers escaping from it.
Beads of sweat slipped down his forehead: "Oops, it's a trick." β
Before the words fell, I saw three white balls of light rising into the air, illuminating the hiding places of the demon soldiers, dozens of arrows in the sky roared towards them, and several demon soldiers beside them fell to the ground in response.
This situation and this scene are already very clear.
"Everyone follow me to the southβ!" the horned snake roared with its trident aloft, and rushed out first with one lunge.
"Drink!"
Amidst the deafening shouts, dozens of self-made charms by the soldiers of the Heavenly Army swayed down from the top of the mountain. Among them, there are repelling arrays for blocking, there are released smoke, and there are simple flames......
"Don't let them runβ!" came the shouts of the generals from the top of the mountain.
Countless heavenly soldiers emerged from all directions.
In the shouting of killing, the two sides became entangled together.
The war has been going on for five whole days and nights, huge casualties, terrifying spiritual power overdraft, and at this point, in fact, both sides are exhausted, and it is difficult to organize a large-scale attack.
For the Tianhe Water Army, the demon army has a large number of long-range weapons, and they are no longer able to organize large-scale attacks, and small-scale air raids are easy to expose the target, which is tantamount to looking for death.
So, they chose ground warfare.
In this kind of small-scale ground raid warfare, especially at night, the self-made charms of the Enlightened Dao Heavenly Soldiers can often exert unexpected effects if used properly. The terrain barrier can limit the ranged weapons of the demon army to the greatest extent.
From the perspective of the demon army, although they have a sufficient advantage in long-range attacks, the quality of their warships itself is not as good as that of the Tianhe Water Army, and it is easier to crash once they attack the opponent from the air once they are attacked by the ground. In addition to the elite troops with the ability to fly, they also have a large number of ordinary ground troops, and it is actually more advantageous to rely on the mountains on the ground to fight.
Moreover, although the various spells of the Tianhe Water Army were powerful, the close-range battle demon army itself had a certain advantage due to the characteristics of the Walker Dao.
And so on. Air combat. It was almost unanimously abandoned by both sides. In the end, the most primitive tactics were adopted, relying on the terrain to disperse the attack.
However, this also makes the war more intense and protracted.
After less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, Shortmouth and Tianren's reinforcements arrived at the same time, and under the fierce battle, Tianren faintly lost the upper hand and chose to take the initiative to retreat.
And considering that there is a possibility of further ambushes. The short-mouthed did not choose to pursue.
Of course, the main reason is that the short mouth has to rush to the next battlefield.
On such a night, the entire Huaguo Mountain Realm was full of fighting, and the generals on both sides were exhausted.
......
A cool breeze hit, carrying the slightest smell of blood, burnt, and even the smell of barbecue, but I don't know if it's a heavenly soldier or a monster.
Now Huaguo Mountain, there is no green anymore.
In the open space in front of the cave on the edge of the cliff, the monkey raised his arm cross-legged and naked, and asked Yang Chan to bandage the wound on his waist.
"Why was you so careless?"
"No way, Big Horn is trapped. If I don't make a move, he will surely die. β
"It's the same coach, why don't you see the canopy on the other side rushing here and there like you all day long?"
"I imagine him sitting in a tent, too. When did my troops in Huaguoshan become so well-trained as the Tianhe Water Army. Maybe I'll find a place to eat melon seeds and watch the game. Whoa, you tap!"
"Hmph, why didn't you shout pain when you rushed into battle?" Yang Chan casually knotted the bandage, raised her head and glared at the monkey hatefully: "Okay." Take some pills and rest well, you should be cured in a few days. β
After that, Yang Chan reached out and washed the blood stains on her hands with the water in the small wooden basin.
After shaking his hand slightly, the monkey said, "Can you rest well in this shape?" β
Yang Chan gave him a blank look and did not comment.
The sincerity of being a commander and being a monkey is rare, but there is no way to do it.
The Tianhe Water Army has a large number of enlightened Dao, and even the Heavenly General has many enlightened Dao. With the battle formation of the generals that day, they could suppress almost any monster in Huaguo Mountain. If the main monsters like the monkey and the nine-headed insect don't attack, they will soon be beaten down by the Tianhe Water Army.
Kuroko jumped from the rocks below the cliff to the top of the cliff.
"Brother Monkey, Nezha wants to see you. β
"Nezha wants to see me?" the monkey was slightly stunned and glanced at Yang Chan.
"It should be about Li Jing. Yang Chan lowered her head to clean up the scattered strips of cloth, turned around and walked into the cave with a wooden basin.
"Take me to him. Monkey said.
Putting on his armor again and covering up his wounds, the monkey and Kuroko sped along the mountain trail.
Soon, they entered a small cave.
In the cave house, which was lit by the fire, Nezha stood alone with a fire-tipped spear.
"Heavenly Court has ordered us to withdraw our troops. β
"Oh. So when are you leaving?"
"If you let my father go, we'll leave. Taking a step forward, Nezha's eyes widened and he shouted: "This is what you promised me, and when we have to withdraw our troops, you will release my father." Now Heavenly Court has ordered us to withdraw!"
Looking at Nezha's slightly angry face, the monkey was stunned for a moment.
Halfway, he smiled faintly, turned around and sat on the stone chair, poured a glass of water and handed it to Nezha.
"I don't drink water!"
The monkey smiled and said, "You seem to have decided that I will break the contract, have I said that I will not let go?"
"Then you mean to release my father now?" Nezha was overjoyed and reached out to take the cup.
"Of course, I mean what I say. Heaven has made an order, and I will definitely fulfill my promise. However, there is a small condition. β
"What conditions?" said Nezha, looking at the monkey suspiciously.
The monkey whispered, "Is your father's tower with you?"
Nezha was slightly startled, and hurriedly said: "You can't use that tower! That's the treasure that recognizes the Lord, don't say it's you, even I can't use it, only my father can use it!"
The monkey snorted and laughed: "I still have this bit of common sense." Who's to say it's going to be used? Just keep it. Your father and I will put it back, but I will keep his tower for the time being, and I will return it when the battle with the Tianhe Water Army is over. How's that?" (To be continued......)
