Chapter 509: Avalanche
Seeing them rushing up from below, Meng Hu shouted with red eyes, "Qingshui Banner, crossbowman, fight Lao Tzu!"
Jiang He Gang Qing Shui Qi reacted at this time, hurriedly picked up the long water gun, and sprayed green Gong water frantically at the demon sect soldiers below. And the crossbowmen also reacted, quickly picked up the crossbow arrows, and shot wildly!
These two classes couldn't do it because they were too far away just now, but now they finally have it, so they are full of strength. However, the Demon Cult soldiers who rushed up this time had shields in the front row, so their power was greatly reduced.
More than 1,200 Demon Sect masters lost more than 500 people when they passed through the landslide area, and among the 700 or so people who rushed up, more than 100 were seriously injured, and even if they rushed up the mountain, it would not be enough to fight. However, with their terrifying courage and tenacious perseverance, these seriously wounded soldiers effectively boosted the morale of their own side and suppressed the momentum of the Ming army by the way.
The Demon Sect soldiers, who were originally lying on the ground, immediately got up and rushed up after seeing their brothers rushing up.
By this time, some of the brethren of the Flame Banner had changed their equipment, and about fifty or sixty of them were equipped with long water cannons filled with fire oil, which were carried by the other brethren when they came, and all of them were handed over to them when the time of the war came.
Streams of fire oil spewed out, drenching an area about twenty meters from the front of the position, and then a fire was thrown over, and the fire burned.
The Demon Cultist did not pause when he saw the burning band, but continued to move forward, preparing to cross the fire. Unexpectedly, the fire banner of the Jianghe Gang was still spewing fire oil, and when they entered the fire, they were greeted by fire oil. The result can be imagined, originally they could quickly pass through the not wide fire field with their speed advantage, and their bodies may not be on fire. But the rivers and rivers poured fuel on the flames, causing the fire to burst into flames in an instant, boom, bang like an explosion, even if they passed through at a fast speed, it would inevitably ignite the clothes on their bodies. After crossing the line of fire, a large number of demon soldiers immediately rolled on the ground to extinguish the fire, and were immediately mercilessly shot by the crossbowmen.
And there are also some demon cultists who only have a few sparks on their bodies, which can be extinguished by patting them with their hands, but as soon as the fire oil of the Flame Banner sprays on them, the small fire immediately turns into a big fire, and this kind of crossbowman is too lazy to shoot and kill, because the fire on their body is not to be extinguished!
This flame belt quickly became the "death belt" of the Demon Sect!
And all of this was basically learned from the Demon Sect's Fire Banner. The so-called way of the other is to give back to the other, Qin Shuhuai's flower name is not a waste!
Is that enough? Obviously not enough!
The crossbowmen continued to exert their might, and the other Fire Banner brothers continued to throw thunderbolts, anyway, they had a lot of supplies, but they could build it!
More than 1,200 Demon Sect masters, plus more than 100 Demon Sect soldiers who were originally lying on the ground, when they rushed out of the fire and rushed into the official army array, there were already more than 400 people left!
The three apostles and the five apostles were all burned so that their hair was not hair, and their eyebrows were not eyebrows, but in the end, they were first-class masters, and neither of them was seriously injured.
The Ming army also swarmed up and besieged them.
More than 400 demon sect soldiers are fighting against the water at the moment, extremely fierce, with a cultivation that is much higher than that of the soldiers of the Ming army and the soldiers of the martial arts alliance, frantically attacking the position of the Ming army.
Among the 5,000 people of the Ming army, there were 2,000 Gansu soldiers and 3,000 Wulin coalition troops. In the martial arts alliance, although there is no shortage of good players from Shaolin, Emei and other factions, they still have the best skills of these people in the Jianghe Gang - because when the Shanzhai Five Elements Banner selected people, they were selected according to the standard of the third rank or above in the Xuantong Realm! And because most of them have practiced the simple version of the Jiuyang Divine Skill, their combat effectiveness is naturally stronger than the ordinary third rank of the Xuantong Realm.
Therefore, the four hundred people of the Demon Sect can't make much waves, but it is undeniable that they have disrupted the two cottage Five Elements Banners of the Jianghe Gang. Especially the Second Apostle and the Seventh Apostle, relying on their strong cultivation, had already killed more than a dozen people of the Fire Banner in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Meng Hu immediately took a few Xiaochengjing experts from Shaolin and Emei to kill and entangle these two.
The rest of the officers and troops launched an orderly counterattack, and the four hundred demon sect masters were still fighting in a very orderly manner under the heavy surroundment, and they either three or five people gathered together, helped each other, and fought desperately with the officers and soldiers. However, they fought in a disciplined manner, and the brothers of the Jianghe Gang fought very tactically, the shield soldiers attacked in front, and the swordsmen waited for an opportunity behind the shield soldiers.
With them at the front, it would be much easier for the officers and other martial arts coalition forces to counterattack. The officers and soldiers also organized some tactics to some extent, while the martial arts coalition army was in groups of two or three, using their own means, only attacking one demon sect soldier at a time, but they also succeeded repeatedly.
These demon cultists knew they were going to die, but they still fought to the death. Their only purpose was to buy time for the brothers behind them to pass through the subsidence!
In Taniguchi, the Demon Cult army is speeding through the collapse zone!
When Meng Hu saw this, he immediately shouted, "Fire Banner, throw your thunderbolts!"
Hearing this, the Flame Banner began to retreat recklessly, trying to break free from the entanglement of the Demon Cult's masters, running to the side and continuing to throw their thunderbolts.
However, the Demon Cult experts are not willing to let them go easily, clinging to them one by one like kraft candy - although it will cost them a lot to cling to them!
The two sides fought fiercely for less than half an hour, and only seventy or eighty of the four hundred masters of the Demon Sect remained! The official army and the martial arts alliance army also lost more than two hundred people.
However, the front end of the Demon Cult army has also stood on the high ground!
The mission of these good men was accomplished! They exchanged 1,200 lives for the passage of the army.
At this time, the Flame Banner of the River Gang had also gotten rid of the entanglement of the Demon Sect's masters, and began to throw thunderbolts into the collapsed area.
However, the first target of the new Demon Cult soldiers is still them. About five or six hundred demon sect soldiers didn't say a word, and they killed them with red eyes.
Meng Hu naturally wanted to protect the Flame Banner, so he commanded the army to block these Demon Sect soldiers to the death to ensure that the Flame Banner could continue to exert its might.
The Second Apostle and the Seventh Apostle wanted to lead people into the Jianghe Gang's Fire Banner Array, but they were resolutely intercepted by Meng Hu, and he took four or five Xiaocheng Realm and fifteen or sixteen Xuantong Realm second-class and above experts to besiege these two. In the face of the siege of many good players, the Second Apostle and the Seven Apostles could no longer carry forward their personal heroism, so they had to endure and fight with all the good hands.
Boom! Boom!
A loud noise echoed in the valley again, and the Demon Cultists who were passing through the collapse area behind them fell in pieces again!
However, the Demon Cult army is still stubbornly advancing.
Soon, about 5,000 Demon Sect soldiers had passed the landslide area and were rushing towards the Ming army on the mountain. And the Demon Sect soldiers who rushed up the mountain had reached more than 2,000 people.
The Ming army faced more than 2,000 Demon Sects with the remaining more than 4,800 people, and barely fought to a draw. If the follow-up demon sect soldiers catch up, the Ming army will definitely not be able to support it.
Only then did Meng Hu think of retreating, but he was annoyed and regretful to find that he had been too excited about the fight and had lost the best opportunity to retreat.
The original retreat plan was that when the Demon Sect soldiers rushed up about a thousand or so, the Agni Banner would amplify the flames and isolate the Demon Sect soldiers behind, and then the four thousand Ming troops on this side would naturally retreat in an orderly manner in the face of a thousand Demon Sect soldiers.
But now there are more than 2,000 Demon Cult soldiers who have come up, and they are rushing to kill everywhere, and it is difficult for the Flame Banner to calmly prevent fire. If the Demon Cult soldiers behind them could not be isolated, then once they retreated at this time, the officers and troops would inevitably be hunted down and killed with heavy losses.
He was full of remorse, and now he finally understood the reason why Qin Shuhuai didn't let him lead the troops!
But regret is regret, no matter what the cost, retreat must be retreated, otherwise all the brothers will have to be accountable here.
He was about to give the order, when suddenly, everyone felt a huge tremor in the earth, and then a loud noise like thunder broke out between the heavens and the earth!
Boom! Boom!
I saw that on the cliffs on both sides of the valley mouth, large pieces of earth and boulders fell one after another, and after a few seconds, the two cliffs collapsed, and the earth slid down like flowing water, burying everything it passed through with a devastating force!
At least three or four hundred Demon Sect soldiers were buried in the ground!
And on the hill where the Ming army was located, there was also an earth-shaking landslide! Many of the Demon Cult soldiers who were climbing the hill were swept down by the roaring mudslide! And the Demon Cult soldiers who were about to climb the mountain hurriedly retreated.
It turned out that the mountain soil here was already soft, and the Jianghe Gang Fire Banner threw a burst of thunderbolts, and the huge explosion caused a landslide again!
The follow-up demon cult soldiers who climbed the mountain will be delayed! This means that the retreat of the Ming army is guaranteed!
I have to say, God bless Daming!
