the road to becoming a god

Section 71

At this time, the enemy practitioners skimmed over the army array, and the dense number actually blocked the scattered light of the sun. The neat army trotted forward in the shadows, and the neat footsteps seemed to step in the heart of the defenders of the city, one after another.

"Prepare for the strong archer, target alien practitioners, let go!"

Above the wall of Tiger City, a long metal dragon composed of sharp arrows roared into the sky and rushed straight to the alien practitioner with the range of bows and arrows. However, a red flag appeared in the wind in the array of practitioners of the other party. As soon as the flag was displayed, the strong wind suddenly appeared. The metal dragon was swept by the flag wind and fell from the air with lost power.

The army array below the practitioner had been prepared for a long time. The soldiers raised their heads on the high iron shield and leveled it with the iron shield in their companions' hands. A steel phalanx appeared in an instant. The arrow rain fell on the iron shield and made a tinkling sound, but failed to cause even a little damage to the forward army array. .

Under the cover of the steel shield, the army array rushed 30 meters from the city wall without injuring anyone.

"The attack is invalid! The stone throwing team is ready! Target army, fight together!"

A team of tiger men with a big waist held a head-sized stone ball and shouted in unison with luck. Hundreds of stone balls flew out together. After drawing an arc in the air, they fell into the enemy's army.

The stone ball collided strongly with the iron shield, but the explosion sounded one after another. Dozens of huge gaps suddenly appeared in the originally dense and neat military array.

"Archer, any target, shoot at will!"

In fact, without the order of the officer, the archers will not let go of such a good opportunity. Such a close distance and such a dense crowd do not need to aim at all. You can shoot an enemy with an arrow.

The sudden gap, the defense arrows rained down, causing the loss of the opposing army to soar, and the army suddenly caused a riot. The nearest troops were about to move towards the gap under the rain of arrows. When they tried to close the gap, they saw another hundred stone balls flying out of the wall. When the target was their own troops, the gap was not closed, but there were signs of expansion.

The officers' anxious eyes were angry. While shouting and scolding the retreating soldiers, they personally cut off several ruffians who shouted to retreat. Only then did this barely stabilize the military array, and the steel shields were raised one by one and arranged in formation. Although there were still hundreds of exploding stone balls flying overhead from time to time, and dozens of gaps were blown up in the general array. At each step, there were huge casualties, the troops still rushed to the edge of the moat.

Under the shield, the engineering forces built a simple wooden bridge nervously and quickly so that the army could pass smoothly. The guards focused on attacking enemies at the moat, and stone balls were like dense swarms of bees, blowing up on the moat. Almost every throw can blow hundreds of enemies into the 100 meters of abyss.

With huge casualties, the soldiers guarded dozens of engineering unit construction sites like nails, one of which died and the other on top. In fact, they also wanted to retreat, but the eyes of the military governor behind them moved on their backs like poisonous snakes. How could they step back, and a sharp arrow would immediately fly over.

Although the engineering force has tried its best to carry out its work, under great psychological pressure, there is no way forward. Death is flying overhead. No one knows whether the next stone ball will fall to him, a soldier suddenly shouted crazily. Unexpectedly, he pushed his companions around him into the bottomless abyss, and the screams soon disappeared. Then, in the surprised eyes of his companions around him, the crazy soldier jumped in by himself. Strange emotions quickly spread, and the engineering troops felt that the eyes of the surrounding soldiers became green and quiet, and the psychological pressure became greater.

When the practitioners saw the attack below and were frustrated, they immediately accelerated their flight speed, trying to cross the city wall, put down the suspended bridge from the inside, and respond to the offensive of the troops. At this time, a black tide flew in the Tiger City, blocking the steps of the alien practitioners from the wall. As the largest family in the wilderness today, the number of practitioners of the white-striped tiger clan is also very considerable.

Above the sky, there was a sudden great light, and the treasure sword flew around. Under the collision of the real yuan demon yuan, the waves were soaring. From time to time, I saw a breathless body falling straight into the moat.

In the sky and on the ground, there is a sound of killing. The archers on both sides come and go, and the arrows fly staggering in the air. Almost every second, several young lives will die, and the whole world will become a battlefield of killing.

With the passage of time, the battle has lasted for six hours. After paying nearly 10,000 casualties, 19 simple wooden bridges that can accommodate four people in parallel were finally completed, and the army began to advance.

However, this does not mean that victory is in the hands of the attacker.

On the contrary, the price paid for each step made the attacker's base camp command headquarters frown. In another hour, it will be completely dark. Seven hours of continuous fighting have caused the morale of soldiers to begin to fall. When it gets dark, morale will be completely lost, which is unfavorable to the whole army.

Finally, the new order of the headquarters command headquarters of the base camp was conveyed: "Mingjin withdraws troops, and the Second Army of the Iron Family, the Fifth Brigade of Baihuamen, the Third Brigade of Kuntong and the 7th and 9th Brigade of the Day Gate are responsible for preventing the barbarians from destroying the wooden bridge."

When the order to collect troops sounded, both the attacking and defending soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Both practitioners in the air stopped killing almost at the same time and retreated back to their respective formations with a tacit understanding.

"This is the first day. How many people have we lost? Banzang stood on the top of the city, looked at the other party's still huge continuous army, and frowned. The huge casualties during the day seemed to be a trivial matter in the eyes of the other party. The momentum on the opposite side is still fierce.

At this time, without naming, the generals began to report the war first. Of course, all the reports are good news.

Don't wonder what kind of good news the generals will report. After fighting like this for a day, the enemy didn't even climb the wall. Except for a dozen unlucky people who were shot to death by a streamer because they jumped too high, most people were only wiped off their skin by arrows, so the loss of the army was the smallest, even the cook was not so safe. So there are always people rushing to report good news.

After listening to the army's report, the Tiger King's eyes fell on the elders who had not spoken for a long time.

"What's the matter? Do our practitioners lose a lot?"

While talking, the Tiger King turned his eyes on the chief elder. This is an old man who is nearly 70 years old, bald and hairless, and his face is full of wrinkles. Even if he doesn't say anything but smile, it makes people feel very obscene. What's more, he has a sad face at this time, which makes people look, simply... Well, he just wants to step on his feet. .

Although the elders had long discussed to pull Banzang down from the position of patriarch, considering the prestige of the Tiger King in the hearts of the people, they decided to look at the situation before making plans. Now under such circumstances, it is even more impossible to move the position of the Tiger King. Everyone knows who sits in that position now, and even has the same mark as death. Therefore, the majesty of the Tiger King at this moment is more frightening than ever - they are afraid that if the Tiger King quit now, where will the elders find someone to take the blame?

"We killed ten masters of the other party's ice-tracking period, and sixty-six people in the peace period..."

"I don't care about the other party's death, and I want our practitioner to report the loss!"

In the majestic eyes of the Tiger King, the chief elder said with timidly: "13 practitioners in the ice age, 46 in the concord period and 220 in the Yuanying period..."

"How can the loss be so great!" The sky battlefield is a real head-on confrontation, and the fierce battle between practitioners is obvious to all. However, when he suddenly heard that his loss was so great, Lian Huwang's face suddenly looked a little difficult.

Without a sufficient number of practitioners, even if the remaining practitioners are superb, it is difficult to resist the attack of wolves. Once all the practitioners on our side are destroyed, there is really no possibility of defending Tiger City.

Don't these old guys understand such a simple truth?

The murder flashed over Hanzo's face.

"Dad, the aliens come with the power of victory, and the soldiers are sharp, and the casualties on the first day will inevitably be a little large. This time, the elders also joined the battle in person, and it was not their fault to suffer such losses in the end. Moreover, the elders have made great contributions to be able to block the practice camp of aliens and bypass the cordon without letting one person go. Please reward the elders. Leng Da suddenly said respectfully.

Hanzo was silent for a long time and finally raised his hand.

The bodyguards around him took a step forward and bowed and said, "Wait to your order, Tiger King."

Hanzang ordered in a low voice: "Each practitioner who participated in the attack today will be rewarded with five elixirs and double the captain. The elders gave them a hundred taels of gold and two beautiful women.

The elders claimed to praise each other. Of course, the generals did not miss their rewards. Everyone was happy. The generals in a good mood did not hesitate to tell the quartermasters of the army to feed their children and strive to make contributions tomorrow.

When the elders and generals all retreated, Banzang asked Leng Da, "I was about to kill and stand up, but you opened your mouth to speak for the elders. Why?"

Leng Da said respectfully, "In the past, Dad, you had clear rewards and punishments. The more people you kill, the higher your prestige. But now the situation is different. Under the city, every point of combat strength is precious. Although the elders have improperly done something in command, they have a deep cultivation after all. Moreover, in the daytime battle, they did not huddle behind, but took the initiative to join the battle. Lengda asked his father to reward them today because they were aware of responsibility. Moreover, with today's loss, the elders will definitely be cautious when they go to war tomorrow.
