There are not many troops left at Bailing Pavilion to guard the exit of the passage, only a few hundred elites in total.

Their biggest reliance on holding on to their position is poison gas, but the effect of poison gas is not so perfect and ideal.

The ghost cultivators in the alliance of major forces all took antidote pills, and ordinary poisonous gas could no longer harm them, unless it was a more poisonous demon poison.

However, the amount of demon poison in Jiuye's hands was not large. He could not spread the demon poison all over the forest. He could only release it at a precise range against the enemy.

If the powerful coalition forces invested less troops, Jiuye could still track and poison each one one by one. However, as the powerful coalition forces began to deploy large-scale troops, Jiuye could not keep up with the poisoning speed, and the poison reserves were also reduced. Can't keep up.

There was no other way, Jiuye could only immediately lead his men to start sniping at the enemy.

Fortunately, the number of bows and crossbows he prepared was still sufficient. Hundreds of elite ghost generals and above were all thrown into the forest. Each ghost cultivator had enough arrows to use.

Although the powerful coalition forces have a large number of troops, only about 20 soldiers are dropped each time, so it is impossible to form a strength advantage in a short period of time.

Jiuye led hundreds of elites to surround the rappel area and began to launch a frontal siege on the rappelling enemies. He did not care that such a frontal attack would expose his own traces.

Whether they use crossbows or swords and guns, they can defeat the enemy in a frontal attack. The more than 20 enemies descended in each wave are completely vulnerable to them.

A wave of enemies landed on the ground, and they quickly killed them all, and soon a second wave of enemies landed.

The battle is not difficult, but fighting for a long time can easily make people feel tired.

Fortunately, Jiuye still has hundreds of people available. After sealing off the rappel area, these hundreds of elites can take turns to fight. When they are tired, some of them will change shifts and take a rest. There is no need to maintain too high combat intensity.

After fighting like this for more than ten rounds, a ghost soldier who was lowered into the air pulled the rope back in time, and the leaders of the major forces in the passage finally knew the battle situation below.

This is actually good news for them. Enemies who appear in the open are always much easier to deal with than enemies who hide in the dark. They like this kind of face-to-face challenge.

Someone immediately suggested increasing the number of troops for the rappel, and tied the low-level ghost cultivators to ropes like mutton skewers, so that each rope could release at least a dozen people at a time.

This is equivalent to greatly increasing the weight of the rope, but for the ghost kings who control the rope, this weight is completely bearable.

As long as the rope itself is strong enough, there will be no accidents during the release, except that the low-level ghost cultivators who are strung on the rope will be knocked dizzy.

But they don't care about this detail, as long as the troops can be successfully put on the ground, and those soldiers are still alive to participate in the battle, it is enough.

As a result, the number of soldiers dropped in the next wave reached more than 200, and they huddled together in the rappel area. The situation was suddenly very different.

Although the fighting power of Ghost Soldiers and Li Ghosts is not high, more than two hundred people landed on the ground like dumplings. It is not that easy to kill them all.

Jiuye suddenly felt the pressure increase.

The devils from the powerful alliance began to fight back. Although the enemy was stronger than them, they had been exposed in front of them after all. This was better than being poisoned to death for no reason.

The next wave of reinforcements would arrive soon, which gave them great encouragement and confidence. They screamed and rushed towards the elite ghost generals of Bailing Pavilion.

The pressure on Bailing Pavilion is increasing, and the efficiency of killing enemies has also been reduced a lot.

Jiuye could only give up hand-to-hand combat and let his men use bows and crossbows to massacre the enemy more efficiently.

In a mortal state, the crossbow can be regarded as the coldest weapon with the greatest threat and the highest efficiency in killing enemies.

Jiuye's reserve of arrows is very sufficient. This was originally prepared for war in the world of the witch clan, and now it is all put to use.

He distributed large bundles of arrows, and soon the forest was filled with arrows.

The powerful coalition forces also have some junk weapons such as crossbows, but they are not many in number.

They were not prepared for an ordinary war, and could not organize crossbowmen to shoot at Bailing Pavilion. They could only passively take the beating.

Some ghost soldiers immediately organized their teams to counterattack and charge, but under the dense and rapid shooting of Bailing Pavilion, it was difficult to get close to the enemy.

Any arrow can cause them to lose their combat effectiveness or die directly. This is the biggest flaw of mortals.

Without enough protective equipment, they couldn't carry the crossbow.

Normal armies usually have shields and armor, but ghost cultivators don't.

Because ordinary armors and shields cannot play a defensive role in the battles of ghost cultivators, and magic weapon-type armors and shields are very expensive, ordinary ghost cultivators cannot afford them.

Therefore, the powerful coalition forces had no means of resisting the crossbows and could only use the cover of trees to avoid them as much as possible.

If you want to break through the arrow rain, you must have a sufficient scale of troops and pile them with human lives.

Therefore, the ghost cultivators who landed on the ground could only wait for reinforcements for the time being, trying to save their lives before enough reinforcements landed.

The reinforcements quickly jumped down like dumplings, and dropped a large wave of poison pills at the same time.

These poison pills were originally supposed to be poison gas bombs, but now they have been used as smoke bombs.

With the help of smoke, they either carefully hid behind trees, or lay in the pile of dead bodies, or there was really no safe hiding place, so they could only charge into the depths of the forest.

After several rounds of rappelling, the rappelling area was crowded with people, and the coalition of major forces had accumulated about 700 to 800 people.

Seeing that there was no more room, a general immediately ordered everyone to charge.

The charge of hundreds of people was quite impressive. If they all charged in one direction, the archers of Bailing Pavilion could not stop them at all.

But after this wave of charge, the team immediately screamed.

A general went forward and immediately found that the surrounding ground was actually covered with a large number of caltrops.

This thing did not cause much damage, just enough to pierce the sole of the foot, and then infected with tetanus or something.

The ghost cultivators did not worry about minor problems such as injuries. As long as they did not die on the spot, they could return to the underworld and slowly recover their spirits.

But the injuries could temporarily make them lose their fighting power, and the caltrops were enough to stop their collective charge. Then there were a large number of bows and crossbows from the opposite side, and they immediately became a group of living targets.

The order for a full charge was immediately revoked, and the generals were in a state of panic.
