Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Early the next morning, Huang Yongxing, who was completely angered, finally personally led the monks to launch a strong attack. He led more than 30 foundation-building monks and more than 100 Qi-refining monks with flying magic weapons to attack the salt hill from the air.  Fly away, preparing to destroy the enemy's trebuchet troops and clear obstacles for your own side to cross the river.  But he never expected that Jiang Chen would deploy so many troops here.  After seeing them appear in the air, they also sent the same number of monks to fly into the sky for a melee.  Moreover, what frightens the corpse-yin sect monks even more is that there are spirit stone cannons firing at them on the ground.  They not only have to deal with enemies in the sky, but also guard against attacks on the ground.  In this way, how can one defeat an enemy whose numbers and combat effectiveness are no less than one's own while doing two things at once?  After a whole day of air combat, the defenders of the Heavenly Demon Sect had defeated the attacking troops of the Corpse Yin Sect, killing more than 20 enemy monks in the foundation building stage and more than 60 monks in the Qi refining stage.  But he only suffered less than one-third of the enemy's casualties.  Huang Yongxing, who was helpless, had to return to his Chinese army camp and apologize to Yan Nantian.  After Yan Nantian frowned and listened to him explain the attack process, he didn't blame him too much, because in this situation, even he had no better way.  He then decided to go to the river bank with Ma Guoqiang and Huang Yongxing to observe the situation of the enemy and the river.  Then come up with countermeasures.  After carefully observing the situation on the other side of the river, the three of them all unanimously concluded that the army on the other side was a well-trained army, and judging from the military size and tightness of defense, the combat effectiveness was by no means inferior to the main force of the Corpse Yin Sect.  It is indeed not easy to defeat it head-on.  Yan Nantian looked gloomy and turned his attention to the river again, trying to find a place where the water was shallow and the river was narrow.  Go around the place that is suitable for crossing the river.  But the situation is obviously not optimistic. The Salt Hill Ferry is obviously the gentlest and narrowest part of the river.  Regardless of whether it is upstream or downstream, the river is much wider and the current is very fast. Crossing the river from other places is more risky.  After observing for a long time, Yan Nantian suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with emotion: "Elder Ma, Elder Huang, have you noticed that the water level of the river seems to be relatively low!" After Ma Guoqiang heard this.  After looking at it carefully for a while, Fang nodded and said: "Yes! The water level is indeed lower than usual, at least more than a foot lower!" "Maybe it's because there is too little precipitation in winter!" Huang Yongxing took it back at this time.  He looked at it, and then said doubtfully: "But even if the river water has dropped a lot, it is still at least two feet deep. I'm afraid it won't be possible to wade across the river." "Haha! Elder Huang, if you just wade through the water like this, of course it won't work.  But what if the river is only half a foot deep?" Yan Nantian glanced at the river bank and laughed.  "Wellplease forgive Huang for being stupid, how could the river drop by more than ten feet all of a sudden?" Huang Yongxing was even more puzzled after hearing this.  "The enemy can use trebuchets to hit us. We can also use trebuchets to fight back!" Yan Nantian said with a slight smile.  "But we are in a headwind, and the terrain is low and we can't hit the enemies on the hills at all!" Ma Guoqiang was also a little stunned after hearing this.  "Who said I'm going to hit the enemy on the hill?" Yan Nantian sneered and said, "Although our trebuchet can't hit the hill, it can be out of the enemy's range. Throw the stone into the river  . As long as we raise the river mattress to the point where soldiers can wade across the river, we can no longer use rafts to cross the river." He paused and stared at the river.  Then he continued: "If thousands of our troops directly cross the river, even if the enemy's trebuchet hits one of us, how many of us can they defeat? As long as we wait for our large troops to reach the other side,  Wouldn't it take just a moment to capture that small hill that is only over a hundred feet high?" Huang Yongxing and Ma Guoqiang were overjoyed after hearing this, and praised their sect leader for his extraordinary resourcefulness, and his words awakened the dreamer.  The two men quickly organized people to build trebuchets from rafts of wood and look for boulders, preparing to launch a new attack.  Making a trebuchet and collecting huge rocks to fill the river bed was a huge undertaking. Although the Corpse Yin Sect's army numbered nearly 300,000 people, it still took them three full days.  It was not until the morning of the fourth day that they launched the attack again with hundreds of simple trebuchets opening the way.  These improvised trebuchets slowly drove to a place more than thirty feet away from the river bank.  Then he stopped. At this time, Huang Yongxing waved his hands enthusiastically and said: "Target - the center of the river! One, two, three! Start throwing stones!" With his order, hundreds of boulders rose into the air.  , and then drew an arc in the air and accurately fell into the river.?, making a loud "pop" sound and causing a huge splash of water.  "Hey, why did the enemy get so stupid that they threw stones into the water? I thought they wanted to throw them on our heads." Wan Liang was also stunned when he saw the actions of the Shiyin Sect monks.  "They are not stupid. They know that in the headwind and on the low-lying river bank, it is impossible for the trebuchet to fight against us, so they still put their mind on crossing the river." Jiang Chen glanced at the middle of the river at this time.  Then he said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, they want to use huge rocks to raise the bed of the river to make the river shallower, so that ordinary body refiners and those monks in the Qi refinement stage who don't have flying magic weapons can also wade through the water.  No matter how accurate our trebuchets are, they will not be able to kill all the monks crossing the river. Once they cross the river, they will be able to swamp our troops who are far outnumbered by them." Wang Zihan heard.  After that, he smiled sweetly and said: "But in that case, wouldn't it play into Brother Jiang's plan? The shallower the water, the more violent it will rise, and the greater the destructive power it will cause!" After hearing this, Jiang Chen also smiled slightly and said:  "Yes! I didn't expect Yan Nantian to use this move, but it was a bit beyond my expectation. I originally thought he would take a detour to cross the river. In this way, all the troops I arranged upstream and downstream of the ferry were completely  It's useless. But this is good. I believe that after launching, Yan Nantian's army will be reduced by at least one third. "Well! I will inform my sister-in-law now!" Wang Zihan said with a smile.  .  "Sister-in-law?" Jiang Chen was stunned upon hearing this.  "It's Shui Yuening, the second young lady of the Shui family! Those monks who came from Xiangyang all said that you are the son-in-law of the Shui family! And you also brought the eldest and second young ladies together. Now many brothers are envious of you sitting here and enjoying the family.  What a blessing!" Wan Liang chuckled and hurriedly explained.  When Jiang Chen heard this, he was angry and funny and said: "It's not like you two don't know what the marriage contract between me and the Shui sisters is about. I have already explained it to you, but you are still making fun of me here. Be careful.  This battle is over, I will arrange for you two to return to Wunan City to defend the city! " Wan Liang and Wang Zihan are both eager to rush to the front line to kill the enemy and avenge their dead brothers. What they are most worried about is being left behind!  Doing painless work in the rear.  Hearing what Jiang Chen said, although he knew he was most likely joking, he was afraid that he would actually make such an arrangement out of anger.  Therefore, he had no choice but to shut up quickly and then told the body refiner controlling the catapult to pay close attention to the enemy's actions.  About an hour later, the section of the Xianyuan River at the Yanqiu Ferry had been filled with a shallow channel about twenty feet wide and only half a foot deep.  Huang Yongxing was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately waved the weapon in his hand and shouted: "Attack!" Then he personally led about 100,000 body refiners and rushed towards the other side of the river.  When Wan Liang saw that the enemy had launched another attack, he waved his hand downwards and ordered: "Continue to throw stones at the enemies crossing the river. The spirit stone cannon also fired. The archers were ready to fire. When the enemy entered the range, Wan Liang  Start shooting!¡± ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡± Boulders rained down from the air towards the Corpse Yin Sect army that was wading across the Xianyuan River, and the Lingshi Cannon also spit out clouds of sparks.  On the riverbed, explosions and screams were heard one after another, and everywhere were the body-refining warriors of the Corpse Yin Sect who had been smashed to pieces and turned upside down. They suffered huge casualties under the bombardment of the Tianmo Sect army.  However, in the face of the huge casualties of his subordinates, Yan Nantian did not take it seriously at all. In his opinion, body refiners were originally cannon fodder troops. No matter how many people died, there was no need for heartache. They could be recruited with worldly gold and silver.  This was also the reason why he did not let the monks go into battle when he attacked.  He planned to use the monks only after he had captured the hill and pursued the enemy.  The soldiers of the Shiyin Sect poured into the river one after another, and many of them died before they reached the other side of the river.  After they died, their bodies quickly sank to the bottom of the water, raising the river bed higher.
