Special War God

Chapter 209: City Attack and Defense

Zhu Fasheng held a banner in his hand and pointed it in the direction of Lanxiu City, shouting, "Charge into Lanxiu City and slaughter it with blood!"

No matter whether the Xiuzhou army had just faced the sacred Qilin or some other strange beast, even Gui Lingzi could not gain the upper hand. Zhu Fasheng no longer had the heart to play any tricks of "the void versus the Venerable" and only wanted to crush the opponent in one fell swoop with the advantage of numbers.

After the duel in front of the three-ring array, the outcome will be decided by the clash of armies.

After more than 30 venerables from the Maitreya army received Zhu Fasheng's order, they simultaneously soared into the air and rushed towards the skyline of Maitreya City. Driven by their greed for the mythical beast Qilin, they were all as fanatical as if they were blessed by magic.

Qi Sheng had already returned to the city wall of Lanxiu City and stood side by side with the other strange beasts.

Xia Zhongnan looked at the more than 30 "venerables" in the air, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and whispered to Liu Dabazi: "The venerables will be dealt with by the people I invited, and the rest of the army will be left to you, sir!"

Liu Dabazi responded: "Don't forget, I am also a Void Realm cultivator, and I am more than capable of dealing with the two venerables."

Seeing more than thirty venerables rushing out of the opposing camp, while Xia Zhongnan only summoned eleven for help, he was afraid that Xia Zhongnan's side would suffer.

Xia Zhongnan reminded: "My Lord, you should pay attention to the army and be careful of that Mahayana Maitreya, Zhu Fasheng."

Liu Dabazi then remembered that the commander on the opposite side, Zhu Fasheng, was also a venerable. He nodded calmly.

Xia Zhongnan ordered the monsters: "Charge forward and destroy them!"

Ten "Void Realm Monks" who were incarnations of strange beasts jumped up together upon hearing the words, and rushed towards the Venerables who were surging in the air. Only Bai Ze remained on the city wall.

In mid-air, the Venerable and the strange beast took the lead in fighting and were caught in a fierce confrontation.

These strange beasts displayed extraordinary power. No matter whether it was Qingpao, Baixiao, and Qisheng who had taken action earlier, or Huangxian, Shaohao, Zhuhong, Gaoxuan, Mada, Tianming who had never shown their skills, and Tushan Fanger who had always been by Xia Zhongnan's side, all of them were brave and fearless.

The thirty-five venerables tried their best, outnumbering the few, and barely withstood the fierce attack of the "ten warriors". If it was a one-on-one fight, I'm afraid one of the venerables would be defeated soon.

Liu Dabazi didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw the assistants invited by Xia Zhongnan successfully resisted more than thirty venerables.

Among the remaining 150,000 troops in Maitreya City, the vanguard of 50,000 has approached the city gate.

At Liu Dabazi's command, 5,000 Xiuzhou soldiers began to counterattack the attacking Maitreya army. Huge rocks, burning oil and other city defense weapons smashed into the enemy's formation, causing chaos and a large number of enemy casualties.

But the enemy did not retreat and continued to rush towards the city walls of Lanxiu City.

In the first wave of attack, seven or eight thousand people climbed onto the city walls of Lanxiu City.

More than 6,000 Xiuzhou soldiers were left behind to guard Lanxiu City, of which more than 1,000 were soldiers from the Wentian Fairy Palace Formation Hall, distributed in key positions of the formation in the city. They were the last line of defense for Lanxiu City.

The remaining 5,000 people were all from the Battle Hall, and they were all monks. In the previous battles, they had used city defense equipment, and their true strength could not be seen. Now that they were in close combat, their terrifying strength was completely revealed... ...

After only a few brief encounters, the eight thousand Maitreya warriors who climbed up the city wall were wiped out by the soldiers of the Battle Hall like mowing the grass. Only a few cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Realm managed to escape.

Afterwards, the city gate burst open, and Zuoqiu Juemin, Mao Zizhuang and others led three thousand guards and rushed out of the gate like sharp magic swords and directly attacked the enemy formation.

The Xiuzhou Army dared to go upstream and launch a counterattack, which caught the Maitreya Army off guard. This team of 3,000 people, each of whom was a cultivator, had a combat power far superior to that of the mortals of the Maitreya Army. In just a quarter of an hour, they tore apart the Maitreya Army's vanguard, then turned around and harvested the enemy army that had fallen into chaos.

The vanguard of the Maitreya Army was killed in pieces, and they just wanted to escape. The Xiuzhou Army followed closely behind, scattered and pursued, harvesting the lives of the enemies one by one.

Just as the defeat was like a landslide, at this moment, the cultivators of the Maitreya Army also fell into panic, unable to organize an effective resistance. They fled in the opposite direction and broke up the formation of the central army.

Even Zhu Fasheng had not expected such a battle situation. He had hoped that the venerables in the air could provide timely assistance, but when he looked up, the venerables were still caught in a fierce aerial melee and had no time to pay attention to the battle on the ground. He sighed helplessly. Although his side had a large number of people, they had lost order and could no longer organize an effective offensive. He had to order the troops to retreat.

When Zuoqiu Juemin saw that all the enemies had retreated, he shouted loudly: "Don't pursue us, let's retreat!" Then he led three thousand brothers back to Lanxiu City.

In this battle, the 50,000 vanguards of the Maitreya Army were all deployed to attack the city, and nearly 10,000 were lost in the fierce battle for the top of the city. Then they were completely disrupted by the counterattack of the Xiuzhou Army, and more than 10,000 soldiers died in the fighting or trampling, with a total loss of nearly 25,000 people. If Zhu Fasheng had not brought only these 50,000 people, I am afraid that the end of Lanxiu City would have been even more tragic. Even the presence of more than 30 venerables could not turn the tide of the battle.

Although the battle on the ground has come to an end, the fight between the Void Realm cultivators and the Venerables in the sky is still going on.

Zhu Fasheng's order to withdraw had no effect on them, and both sides fought bloody battles. At this moment, the situation was tense, and as long as any of the Maitreya army retreated, their camp would collapse instantly; similarly, the "virtual realm cultivators" of the Xiuzhou army could not make the slightest mistake, otherwise they would drag their comrades into a passive position.

Their confrontation is the key to determining the outcome of the entire battle.

Qingpao, Bai Xiao, Qi Sheng, Tu Shan Fang'er, Zhu Hong, Gao Xuan, Shao Hao and others each fought against four venerables, while Huang Xian, Ma Da, and Tian Ming formed a formation to resist seven venerables. The battle reached a certain balance, with both sides struggling and in a stalemate.

Gui Lingzi is one of the four "venerables" who besieged Qi Sheng. He was filled with anger. If he had the skull stick in his hand, he could compete with Qilin in a short time, and he could also use the "Yinfeng Ghost Domain" to influence the entire battlefield. Why is the battle so stalemate? ...

Xia Zhongnan stood on the top of the city wall of Cuiluan City, still as a sculpture, just silently watching the two fierce battles above and below, without intervening.

He needed to gain an overall understanding first. This land had gathered the powerful forces of Xiuzhou, and he needed to understand what kind of combat potential they could show.

Their performance brought him some comfort. Over the years, he had gone through many hardships in this strange world. From being an outer disciple of the Tianyi Dao Sect, he had now gathered a powerful army that was capable of confronting Maitreya City head-on.

As long as Xiuzhou can resist the invasion of Mile City this time, it will shock the world, and even the Wu court will not dare to easily provoke Xiuzhou.

Those days of fear and anxiety will become a thing of the past, and he will be able to face those powerful forces with dignity.

What's wrong with Qilin's appearance? If they can protect Qilin, which force would dare to fight openly?

Of course, the current head-on confrontation is only the first step. There are still two ancient Buddhas in Maitreya City. Once the situation reaches a certain critical point, they will definitely take action against Xiuzhou.

Only by making the efforts of those two ancient Buddhas in vain can Xiuzhou truly establish its prestige in the world.

He was not completely sure about the future. He had not yet fought against a strong man at the "Hedao" level, and although Feng Yangzi always seemed confident, he was still a little nervous.

He also longs for a comfortable development and is unwilling to take such a big risk. However, things are unpredictable, does he really have enough time to "move forward slowly"?

The moment Xia Zhongnan learned that Xu Qian was about to marry into the royal family of Wu State, he woke up as if from a dream and was at a loss.

Life may seem long, but if one always follows the rules, and once an important change occurs, he has no ability or strategy to deal with it, that is the greatest sorrow in life.

He didn't want to repeat the experience in Wudu. Since the road ahead was like sailing against the current, if he didn't move forward, he would fall behind, so he decided to move forward bravely.

This confrontation with Maitreya City was his way of "fishing in troubled waters" after his transformation. If he couldn't follow the trend, he would take the initiative to "create momentum".

After waiting for a long time and seeing that the outcome between the Venerable and the strange beast was still undecided, he could no longer wait patiently. He selected the ghost spirit who he thought was the most dangerous and launched the "Kunling Suppression" on his mind.

However, this time he made a wrong prediction, and "Kunling Mountain" went straight through Gui Lingzi's head without touching his sea of ​​consciousness.

But this attack still alerted Gui Lingzi. He seemed extremely nervous and looked around, trying to find out who attacked him. Realizing that Gui Lingzi was difficult to deal with, Xia Zhongnan changed his target and launched an attack on Dai Shucheng who was beside Gui Lingzi... ...

Dai Shucheng was fighting fiercely with Qi Sheng in a mysterious dimension, but unexpectedly he suffered a sudden soul shock.

The "Top of the Sacred Mountain" crashed into his soul ocean like a star, shaking that area into pieces.

Dai Shucheng wailed miserably, holding his head tightly with both hands, in great pain. This sudden change made all the warriors in the fierce battle turn their eyes to him.

Mo Jiangnan was also severely injured and held his head in pain. Qi Sheng was alerted instantly and took advantage of the opportunity to swoop in. He swung the Qilin Sword and pierced into the souls of the two men like a storm, taking their lives.

Gui Lingzi sensed the crisis and hurriedly fled to the army led by Zhu Fasheng, while another venerable from the Western Church, who had not yet reacted, faced Qi Sheng alone. He was obviously unable to resist and fell under his sword in an instant.

At this time, Xia Zhongnan continued to attack the others. The three venerables were attacked one after another and fell into the hands of Tushan Fang'er, Bai Xiao and Qingpao respectively.

The venerables of Maitreya City fell into deep fear. No one dared to stay. They abandoned their equipment and fled in panic. The strange beasts pounced on them without hesitation, and another ten venerables were tightly entangled by them.

The trapped Venerable was despairing and desperately called for help from his companions. However, in the face of great disaster, everyone fled for their own lives, and those companions only cared about escaping, running further and further away, leaving them in danger.

It was the sacrifice of these ten venerables that allowed the rest to successfully escape and ascend to heaven. Seeing the heavy casualties among the venerables in the air and the escape of the rest, Zhu Fasheng's heart sank. The leader of the army decisively abandoned the army and fled towards Maitreya City with Gui Lingzi.
