Chapter 319: Breaking through Sishui Pass
It's obvious that the Hongmeng Sect wants to launch a war of attrition, end the battle quickly, and capture Sishui Pass in one fell swoop.
Chen Jiu seemed to have something else to do, so he just left.
Lord Juliu, Lord Fude and Lord Xiande extended their spiritual senses to take a careful look around, with a hint of eagerness on their faces.
Fude Tianzun thought for a moment, then said solemnly, "Junior Brother Juliu, when you led your army to attack last time, were there any powerful characters in Sishui Pass?"
Juliu Tianzun smiled slightly and said, "No one else, except Chen Jiu. Moreover, he tried all his magic weapons but still couldn't break my Earth Emperor Shield."
He didn't mean to deceive anyone, what he said was basically the truth.
This time, Fude Tianzun and Xian De Tianzun came here on the orders of Hongmeng Patriarch, to quickly capture the rebel king Chen Jiu from the mortal world.
Are you kidding? Among the twelve disciples of Patriarch Hongmeng, only four showed up at the beginning, and they suffered heavy casualties and made no progress at all.
Where can they put their faces?
This time, Patriarch Hongmeng simply sent two disciples who were good at fighting in order to save his face.
If half of the twelve disciples were here and couldn't even take down a mortal rebel king, it would probably make people laugh.
Chi Lian Tianzun also vaguely felt that her master was a little angry, so this time she didn't say a word and left it all to Fude Tianzun to make the decision.
This is the fundamental reason why the imperial army changed its normal behavior and acted quickly.
Fude Tianzun is not Chilian Tianzun, this guy still has some skills.
If Chi Lian Tianzun follows his thinking, he will have no way to deal with Chen Jiu, and he will also have no way to deal with Si Shui Pass.
However, Lord Fude quickly thought of a solution and borrowed more than a hundred magic swords.
Even Chen Jiu didn't expect this. They had actually sent Daoxing Tianzun back to the God Realm. Moreover, they had Daoxing Tianzun shield in the soil and in the water all the way, and the bat soldiers along the way didn't notice it at all.
If the Chilian Tianzun is still in charge of this mortal world, then every move will not escape the eyes and ears of Chen Jiu.
However, Lord Fude saw through it at a glance and easily broke the surveillance of Chen Jiu's bat soldiers.
Everything was going quite smoothly at the moment, and Chen Jiu seemed to have left for something.
Of course they wanted to take the Sishui Pass by surprise and capture it in one fell swoop.
Fude Tianzun pondered for a while, then said decisively: "Xian De Junior Brother, you go to supervise the battle and order those immortals to take turns to attack the city wall continuously, one hour at a time. We must break the city wall for me today."
My God, you want to take over Sishui Pass in one day!
Juliu Tianzun originally wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and remained silent.
They were indeed a bit too slow before. They had been wasting so much time, and not only had more than 20 True Lords died in vain, but they also had no achievements at all. It was really too embarrassing, and he was too embarrassed to speak.
If he didn't speak, those true gods from wealthy families and royal families would be in trouble again.
In the divine world, the Virtuous Lord was slapped in the face by Chen Jiu, and was completely humiliated. He was filled with hatred and wished he could catch Chen Jiu and kill him immediately. He was simply not a human being when he was supervising the battle.
As soon as the first wave of more than 100 True Gods retreated, he shouted sternly: "Hurry up, change into the magic sword, and attack immediately. What are you dithering for? Whoever is dithering, I will take his magic sword and throw it directly onto the wall of Sishui Pass."
My God, this guy is so cruel.
If the magic sword is really taken away and thrown on the wall of Sishui Pass, then if you are not shot into a sieve by the immortal arrows, you will at least be chopped into pieces by the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!
The true gods from aristocratic families and royal families were forced by him. Every time they rushed forward and used their magical powers continuously for a full hour, becoming as tired as dogs. Then they came back to quickly take a breath for an hour, and then continued to attack with the magic swords that the previous group had replaced. They did not dare to stop at all.
With their successive attacks, the effect was naturally surprisingly good.
Although the defenders on the city wall suffered no casualties under the protection of the shield formation, the city wall could not hold on. They could flatten the arrow nests and protective walls in one wave, and leave a lot of deep pits on the city wall. By this calculation, it would only take ten waves for the city wall to be destroyed by them.
Of course, when they attack, the Earth God in the city can also take advantage of the gap between their shifts to repair the city walls.
However, it was of no use. There seemed to be only one or two true earth gods in the city, and there were two or three hundred of them, taking turns to cast their magical powers.
The earth-type true gods in the city had just patched up dozens of large holes when more than a hundred true gods who had been rotated in from their side rushed forward to cast their magical powers.
This time the attack of the imperial army was extremely fierce. Although the Ten Thousand Immortals Array in the city was trying its best to resist, and the one or two Earth-Element True Gods were also desperately repairing the city walls, however, the city walls could not hold up in the face of continuous magical attacks.
There were more and more deep pits on the foundation of the city wall, some several feet deep and some even tens of feet deep. Many places were about to be collapsed.
The defenders on the city wall were trying their best to avoid the part that was about to collapse, and they were crowded together on the wall.
On that day, from Chenshi in the morning to Youshi in the afternoon, the imperial army attacked continuously for six hours without any pause. The huge gaps in the city wall finally couldn't hold and began to collapse. The city wall on the northwest side of Sishui Pass looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, with more and more places collapsing.
The defenders on the city wall finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to retreat in panic under the protection of the shield formation.
Sishui Pass was breached like this!
Upon seeing this, Lord Fude couldn't help but smile sinisterly, Lord Xian De's face was full of joy, and Lord Juliu was even more grinning, and couldn't stop laughing at all.
When Chen Jiu saw this scene in Jiuling Mountain, he couldn't help but sneer.
Do you think that if the city wall is broken, Sishui Pass cannot be defended?
Of course, Lord Fude knew that there was a great formation of ten thousand immortals in Sishui Pass.
However, the mountains where the formations were set up were covered with runes.
Their spiritual sense could only vaguely capture a mountain area, and they could not see clearly what was going on inside.
How to fight next?
Fude Tianzun only thought about it for a moment, and then said decisively: "Send the order, replace a group of real people to fill up the moat in the northwest of Sishui Pass, and flatten the city wall for me."
This task doesn't seem to be very difficult, because the defenders on the city wall have all fled, and there is no danger for them to get within five miles of the city wall. As long as they don't get into the attack range of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, they will be fine.
The more than one hundred True Lords who had been substituted in were also a little excited. They seemed to see the hope of victory.
This time, it seemed that the imperial court did not send them to die.
In other words, the people of Hongmeng Sect had already discovered that Chilian Tianzun was a useless person who only knew how to lose his temper, so they specially sent someone who knew how to fight to take charge. As a result, they broke through the northwest wall of Sishui Pass without any damage.
Now that the city wall has been breached, it should be easy to capture Sishui Pass.
Their spiritual awareness was far inferior to that of Tianzun, so they naturally didn't know that there were continuous mountains for more than ten miles to the north of Sishui Pass. They thought that behind the city wall there was only a row of small hills that they could see.
This time, because there were no casualties and they all had divine swords in their hands, they became braver.
This group of guys approached within three miles of the moat and launched a burst of magical powers into the moat.
The moat is not wide or deep. A stone of several dozen feet in diameter can be thrown into it to fill up a section of it. Filling up such a river is naturally a piece of cake for a true god.
As for the city wall, if there were people guarding it, it would be a little difficult for them to push it down. Now that there is no one on it, it will naturally be pushed down quickly.
These one hundred or so true gods worked for less than half an hour, and the moat and city wall to the northwest of Sishui Pass were filled and leveled by them, and there seemed to be only a low hill in front.
However, it is still a bit dangerous to rush in like this, because the situation in the city is really unclear.
Upon seeing this, Fude Tianzun narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered coldly: "Pass the order, those True Lords in front of the battle formation, lead the 200,000 elite guards to charge in immediately."
He wanted the true gods of the aristocratic families, royal children, and even dukes and nobles to bring 200,000 mortals to explore the formation!
This move was indeed a bit vicious. If they launched the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation with all their strength, these 200,000 or so people would probably be wiped out before long. Moreover, more than half of their strength would be exposed. It was hard to say whether the people from the Hongmeng Sect would dare to rush in and take the risk.
When Yangmei Tianzun saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Qi Jiguang asked coldly: "Fifth Brother, how do we fight? Do you want me to do it?"
Yu Dayou said slowly: "If we want to lure those people from the Hongmeng Sect into the formation, then the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation here will not be able to exert too much power. How about this, I will use Ten Thousand Sword Qi to pretend to block those True Gods, and you will directly order people to shoot arrows to attack those elite guards."
This is easy.
Qi Jiguang released his spiritual consciousness, drew his sword and shouted: "Shenqi Camp, armor-piercing arrows, northwest wall position, prepare to launch."
On the back of the dotted hills, in front of the terraced barracks, rows of archers had all switched to armor-piercing arrows and were pointing their bows at the northwest sky.
They wanted to shoot the elite guards, so it was naturally impossible to use immortal arrows. Moreover, they did not have so many immortal bows to shoot immortal arrows. Most of them were equipped with longbows made of iron and copper.
At this time, more than a hundred true gods had already crossed the moat with two hundred thousand elite guards. Yu Dayou did not hesitate to transform the tens of thousands of sword energies into more than a hundred ten-foot-long blades and chopped them up.
Upon seeing this, the one hundred or so true gods raised their swords without hesitation and swept them fiercely.
After all, the sword energy is not a physical entity. The sword energy emitted by the earthly immortal is nothing compared to the magic sword held by the true god. Soon, the long blade composed of more than a hundred sword energies was split apart.
Yu Dayou ordered his demon fairies without hesitation to send out thousands of sword energies, which transformed into more than a hundred ten-foot-long blades, and chopped up at once.
That’s it?
Upon seeing this, Lord Fude, Lord Xiande and Lord Juliu could not help but smile with disdain.
However, they are still not in a hurry.
Because the more than one hundred true gods had not yet rushed into the mountains, and the 200,000 elite guards had just crossed the moat, the strength of the situation inside had not yet been fully exposed.
Suddenly, a whistling sound as dense as locusts was heard, and the sky suddenly darkened. A dark cloud of arrows came straight towards the 200,000 elite guards.
Lord Fude immediately looked towards Lord Juliu.
Upon seeing this, Juliu Tianzun immediately raised his hand and swung the Earth Emperor Shield over, covering the 200,000 elite guards.
They didn't want to rescue these elite garrison troops, they just wanted to see what the reaction would be when the Tuhuang Shield was raised to Sishui Guanzhong.
As a result, there was no response at all!
More than a hundred true gods actually rushed in with two hundred thousand elite guards, and they seemed to be almost climbing up those hills.
Is there really no ambush in Sishui Pass?
Could it be that Chen Jiu had a premonition that Sishui Pass could no longer be defended, so he simply ran away!
Upon seeing this, Lord Fude, Lord Xiande and Lord Juliu finally became restless.
However, at this time, a scream was heard from the Sishui Pass.
Those elite guards who wanted to climb up the hill seemed to have been chopped down, and those true gods seemed to have been entangled by more sword energy, resulting in casualties.
This is not a big problem. After all, no matter what, they will not resist and just let them take over Sishui Pass.
No matter what, a fight to the death is inevitable.
If there is an ambush in Sishui Pass, then these more than one hundred true gods and 200,000 elite guards will probably be slaughtered as soon as they rush in.
Now, they all climbed up the hill where they set up their formation and were able to fight a desperate battle with the defenders, which proved that there was no ambush in Si Shui Pass.
It looks like there won’t be any big problems. We’ll capture Sishui Pass today!
However, the defenders in the city are still fighting desperately, and the more than one hundred true gods and 200,000 elite guards seem to be unable to hold on.
It would be impossible to take over Sishui Pass relying on these useless guys.
Lord Fude narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and called over the sixteen True Lords.
