One side was full of vigor and led by 6,000 soul masters, and had an absolute advantage in force.
On the other side, the momentum had been lost. Behind them were the walls of Jialing Pass and four suspension bridges. In the collision of the steel torrents,
Human lives are being harvested like grass by the god of death.

The Holy Dragon Legion was facing the Zhuge Legion's Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
At this time, the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Master Corps was facing ordinary soldiers.
Although they were heavily armored,

But, in front of soul masters, what use can these heavy armors have?

Fire and ice attribute soul skills first appeared on the battlefield.

It was the students of the Four Elements Academy who showed off their power.
Fire and water are merciless.

These two absolute elemental forces are simply not something that armor can resist.

It is the central assault force composed of disciples from the Tang Clan's Imperial Hall and Medicine Hall.

The disciples of the Imperial Hall are in front, and the disciples of the Medicine Hall are behind.

Two people in a group. The heavy armored soldiers' attacks fell on the plate armor of the disciples of the Royal Hall, which was no different from scratching an itch.
but,

The soul-breaking spears that pierced through the shoulders and ribs of the disciples of the Imperial Hall pierced their armor like paper.

Almost every step forward of the Royal Hall disciples,
The Wuhun Empire's heavily armored corps was about to lose two hundred bodies.

Six thousand soul masters are like a sharp knife.

It penetrated the enemy's hinterland fiercely. It should have been the situation where the Wuhun Empire attacked the Tiandou Empire's heavy armored army formation.
At this time, it appeared on the Wuhun Empire's own heavy armored corps. The heavy casualties were so heavy that people were shocked.

On the top of Jialing Pass, the generals from the various kingdoms and principalities that made up the Wuhun Empire had already knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please send the Soul Master Corps to rescue us. Our heavy armored corps can no longer hold on."

"Yes, Your Majesty. These are our elite troops."

"We only have these 80,000 heavily-armored troops at Jialing Pass."

"If the Tiandou Empire breaks through, how can we defend the pass?"

"Your Majesty, the First Heavy Cavalry Corps is about to be wiped out. Please give the order quickly."

"If this continues, the Heavy Armored Corps will be finished."

……

The heavy armored corps is extremely important in any country. The financial resources required to form a heavy armored corps are almost equal to those of ten infantry corps.
Both the equipment and the quality of the soldiers are the highest in the military system.

The kingdoms and principalities that originally belonged to the two great empires of Tiandou and Xingluo,
It is not easy for every country to have one or two heavy armored legions.

At this time, watching these precious troops being slaughtered under the attack of the Tiandou Empire's army,
How could they not feel distressed?

Bibi Dong looked at the generals in front of her with a serious expression.

He said decisively: "The Soul Master Corps can no longer go into battle. I've said before that we must not take any more risks before we figure out what the weapons that killed so many Soul Masters are."

"You must understand that although the heavy armored corps is important, the soul master corps is the one that plays a decisive role."

"As long as the Angel Corps is still there, with the natural barrier of Jialing Pass, we will not be afraid of being conquered by the Tiandou Empire."

"Come on! Pass my order. Launch all long-range attacks to cover the retreat of the heavy armored corps."

"The angel army is guarding the city walls. If the enemy follows and rushes in, they will be stopped immediately."

After hearing Bibi Dong's order, the generals kneeling on the ground looked at each other with anger in their eyes.

Of course, they didn't dare to resist Bibi Dong's orders.

After all, no one would complain that their life is too long.

But in their hearts, a dark seed has been quietly planted.

Bibi Dong's actions inevitably made them feel that
The soul master corps under your command is the elite.
It feels like our soldiers are no longer human.

The generals were silent.

But their inability to speak out made Bibi Dong even more depressed.

Since the establishment of the Wuhun Empire, she has always been full of confidence.
But until this moment, she discovered,

When it comes to actual battlefield command, I am not a battle-hardened commander after all.

Commanding soul masters to fight is okay,
But when the battlefield fell into chaos, her heart became a little confused.

After becoming a god, there are some things that cannot be compensated.

Of course, this was not enough to change Bibi Dong's decision.

In her heart, nothing is more important than the soul masters under her command.

The huge crossbows guarding the city at Jialing Pass began to work.
Cooperating with a large number of archers, they continuously threw large numbers of sharp arrows towards the city.

Marshal Goron was well prepared.

Seeing that his own army had entered the range of the enemy's long-range attack, he immediately issued an order.

The ten light cavalry corps that rushed into the battlefield from both wings quickly spread out, forming a large arc from both sides.

Sweeping backwards,
They didn't go far.
Instead, they reorganized their formation five miles away from the main battlefield, ready to provide support to the front at any time.

Ordinary bows and arrows are no threat to heavy cavalry.
Each of the heavy cavalrymen is like a tin can.
Even their horses were wrapped in armor,
The arrows could only leave a trail of sparks on their armor.

The real threat is the giant crossbow that guards the city.

There are as many as 150 giant crossbows guarding the Jialing Pass.

Each of the crossbow arrows used by the giant crossbow was 1.2 meters long and suddenly ejected.
Within a range of one thousand meters, its attack power exceeds that of Zhuge's magic crossbow.

Even an ordinary soul master would never dare to let it hit him head-on.

Of course, the firing speed of the City Defense Crossbow cannot be compared with Zhuge's Divine Crossbow.
As long as they are well prepared, it is still difficult for these giant crossbows to hit the soul master. Moreover, the crossbow arrows themselves are huge.

It also allows high-level soul masters to be prepared and intercept their attacks.

But even so, under the shooting of the giant crossbow,
The casualties on the Tiandou Empire side began to increase.

The eight heavily armored armies of the Wuhun Empire fought and retreated.

They had lost their fighting spirit long ago. When most of the soldiers retreated to the other side of the suspension bridge,
After taking advantage of the strategic position,

With the help of the giant crossbows and bows and arrows on the city walls, the situation was finally stabilized.

After several charges were blocked,

Marshal Goron immediately issued the order to retreat.

The Tiandou Empire dispatched all cavalry this time. Although the speed of heavy cavalry could not be compared with that of light cavalry,

But they move much faster than infantry.

Seeing that a large number of soldiers were retreating like a tide,

Marshal Ge Long led the soul master army to provide cover in the rear to prevent the Wuhun Empire from launching a counterattack.

After the Tiandou Empire's army retreated five miles like a tide,

They stopped under the command of Marshal Goron,
Rearranged into neat formation,

Act as if you are ready for a second charge at any time.

At this time, Zhuge's army had already started moving again.

However, this time they were not attacking, but quickly cleaning up the battlefield.

Each crossbow arrow forged by the Tang Sect is worth a fortune.
And they only have 120 supplies.

Including the original 48 crossbow arrows in the crossbow machine, each soldier of the Zhuge Legion was equipped with only 168 crossbow arrows.

Therefore, they had to retrieve the crossbow arrows shot from the battlefield for secondary use. This was also the reason why Marshal Gelong did not lead the army to withdraw directly to his own side.

With them in front of us,

The Wuhun Empire army at Jialing Pass did not dare to act rashly.

This is a perfect victory, a perfect victory that no one expected.

The Tiandou Empire, which already had an absolute advantage in numbers, relied on this battle to almost suffocate the opposing Wuhun Empire.

Not only was morale low, but the hearts of those generals who were put together were also cast under a shadow.

There was even a sense of gloating over the loss of the Holy Dragon Legion.

After all, the lofty status of the Soul Master Corps has always been enviable.
Moreover, the relationship between the arrogant and domineering spirit masters of the Wuhun Empire and these ordinary generals and soldiers was already tense.

Marshal Gelong was considering whether to charge again.
Now is the moment when our morale is highest and the enemy's morale is lowest.

"Your Majesty, I suggest another charge,"

"Perhaps, we will have a chance to rush into the city. Even if not, we can afford to fight to the death."

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was at the edge of the battlefield.

The presence of your majesty and the soldiers can be said to be an important reason for the boost in morale.
I don't know how many people advised Qian Renxue to step back, saying it was too dangerous.

But she rejected them all.

Nothing below God can threaten her.

"Of course the Marshal has the final say in terms of strategy,"

"I am not good enough for marching and fighting."

"However, I personally think that now is not a good time to charge."

"Although the morale of Jialing Pass is low, the soldiers of the Wuhun Empire also know what it means for them if the pass is breached,"

"The most important thing is that there is an elite group of soul masters from the Wuhun Empire behind the pass."

"Marshal, please do not be complacent just because we defeated the other soul master army today."

"You saw the true strength of the Soul Master Corps when we attacked them just now."

"And our six thousand soul masters are far from being comparable to any soul master corps in the Wuhun Empire."

"They are holding on to the dangerous position, making it impossible for our Zhuge Legion's Zhuge Divine Crossbow to exert its power. If we force a charge, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Ge Long immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay. We won a great victory in our first battle, so we really shouldn't take too many risks."

"All troops, spread my order and call it a day."

……

"My dear sister, you lost this battle,"

Qian Renxue used her divine sense to convey the message to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's face turned pale. She didn't expect that she would lose.

She didn't know what those things were that could cause a lot of damage to low-level soul masters.
The other party is Qian Renxue,

He knew everything about the Spirit Hall and how many undercover agents there were in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Ever since those undercover agents were removed, very little is known about the situation inside.

There was a serious information gap.

"Xiaoxue, don't be so proud. You will eventually fall at my hands."

Over the past few days, the Tiandou Empire's army has been engaged in routine battles.

But Jialing Pass remained closed and quickly repaired the damaged city wall.
Even though the Tiandou Empire's army shouted and cursed in front of the battlefield, they refused to fight again.

Qian Renxue also asked Bibi Dong to have the ability to go out of the city to fight, but she never came out.

The Tiandou Empire also brought in siege equipment and tried to attack the city, but the results were minimal and the losses were considerable.

When you want to capture a city,

The best thing is to force the other party to fight.
The next best thing is to besiege the city, surround it without attacking it, and cut off its supplies.

The worst is siege.

Not to mention whether the city can be captured, the cost of attacking it is very high.

Because no matter how many soldiers there are attacking the city, there are only a certain number of people at the time of the attack, the city wall is so big, and the defenders are in a high position to look down.

One person can unleash the power of many people, and even if he is able to capture an area, what he pays may be far more than what he gains.

When the Zhuge Legion's hidden weapons were unable to exert their power, the Soul Master Legion inside the pass joined the city defense lineup.

Even if the Tiandou Empire has a million strong army, it will be difficult to cross the line.

In Qian Renxue's marching tent,

Most of the top personnel from the Tiandou Empire who participated in the war are already here.
His Majesty Qian Renxue, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Tang Clan's Strength Hall Master Tai Tan, Tang Clan's Battle Hall Master Yuan Haotian Sect's Great Elder, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Elder Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Shrek Academy Dean Flanders, Marshal Ge Long...

Qian Renxue slowly spoke,

"Everyone is here, let's start the meeting."

"Although our army won a great victory in the first battle and severely damaged the Wuhun Empire army and the Soul Master Corps, the current situation is still very unfavorable for us."

"Our army looks like a million strong and powerful. The Wuhun Empire army that oppressed Jialing Pass dared not attack again."

"But in fact, Jialing Pass is much easier to defend than us because of its strategic location."

"We have to be prepared for a surprise attack from them at any time, but they have no such concerns at all."

"At the same time, the most important thing is that, precisely because our army is so large, the consumption of supplies is also astronomical."

"We can't afford to delay. Although we have been preparing for these years, if we continue to delay like this, the logistics supply will not be able to keep up, and our army will be defeated without a fight."

"It seems that the Wuhun Empire has a much smaller army than us, but with the natural barrier of Jialing Pass and their huge number of spirit masters, it will be difficult for us to break through."

"Even if we want to fight against each other, it is not an easy task."

"The Wuhun Empire has tens of thousands of soul masters, while we only have a few thousand. If we don't send out soul masters, then when we attack the city, the consumption of our soldiers will reach an extremely terrifying level."

"If we send out soul masters, we simply can't afford the cost."

"So our situation is not optimistic. This situation must be changed as soon as possible."

"Either we can find a good way to solve the problem, or we can attract the Wuhun Empire to come out and fight again."

"And what we are going to discuss in today's meeting is how to achieve these two possibilities."

After hearing Qian Renxue's words, almost everyone frowned.

Jialing Pass is like a seamless fortress.

The city is extremely strong, and there are a large number of soul master troops behind it as the mainstay of defense.

In this case, the Zhuge Legion used by the Tiandou Empire to restrain the Wuhun Empire's Soul Master Legion would not be able to play its greatest role.

Effectively kill the opponent's soul master.

The troubles they understood were naturally also understood by the Wuhun Empire.

The purpose of holding on to this dangerous position now is to drag down Tiandou. (End of this chapter)
