Having Loucheng monks take the initiative to attack is naturally a much-desired good thing. Not only can they attack monsters, but they can also collect a lot of intelligence.
Only after a fight can you understand the enemy's specific strength and then formulate a targeted plan.
According to Tang Zhen's request, Tianxu City sent believers to follow the operation, and their main task was to deliver intelligence information.
These believers did their duty well. After the operation started, the battle reports from the front were continuously transmitted back to Tianxu City.
According to intelligence, the Loucheng monks chose a canyon to ambush, using boulders and explosives to bombard the enemy.
Primitive attack methods do not mean that they are ineffective. The key depends on how to operate.
There are many examples of similar battles using stone canyons to destroy an army of steel chariots.
Due to the rush of time and restrictions in all aspects, the monks in Loucheng did not use many methods.
Once deployed, even if it cannot defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, it can still cause it to suffer heavy damage.
Youdao said that it would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them. After analysis, the Loucheng monks targeted the heavy cavalry of the Demonic Legion.
First of all, the formation of the heavy armored cavalry is relatively concentrated, and it is difficult to move in the narrow woods. It is easy for them to be ambushed and hunted by the monks of Loucheng.
As for the second reason, it is because the heavy armored cavalry is extremely fast. If they are not killed, they will easily be chased by the opponent when they evacuate.
Eliminating the heavy cavalry will not only inflict heavy damage to the enemy, but also ensure that you can escape unscathed.
There are less than 200 Loucheng cultivators participating in the operation. Each one of them is an elite and there will be no delays in executing the mission.
The number of people is good but not too large. Although there are only a few hundred people, they are worth thousands of troops.
After waiting for about half a day, the monster army finally entered the ambush circle.
Because they are from the regular army, when the demonized legion is marching, there will be sharp soldiers responsible for exploring the marching route to avoid encountering an enemy ambush.
Even though the demon has turned into a monster now, this habit still persists. Before the demonized army arrives, the scouts have already appeared in the valley highlands on both sides.
After the mutation, these scouts' bodies became slender and strong, and all their original abilities were strengthened.
There is a tough short membrane between the arm and the body, which can glide short distances when jumping from a high place.
In order to facilitate investigation, the reconnaissance vanguard has also developed a chameleon-like ability, which can change in a short period of time and blend into the surrounding natural environment.
The main search target of these scouts is the valley where the Loucheng monks are preparing to ambush. After all, the geographical environment of this area is the most ideal and can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, the Loucheng monks were far more experienced than these demonized soldiers, so when the scouts arrived, they found nothing unusual at all.
After the leading scouts withdrew, the Loucheng monks appeared one after another. They didn't know where they had been hiding before, but they were not discovered.
The Loucheng monks acted quickly, and they quickly completed the preset deployment in a very short time.
Once everything is ready, wait for the enemy to enter the ambush circle.
Not long after, there was a huge vibration in the forest. Trees that had grown for many years were violently broken and pushed, and then thrown into the forest on both sides.
This is the way the Demonized Legion marched, and everything they passed was a mess. The forest, as the main obstacle, naturally suffered serious damage.
It's actually understandable that the demonized monsters are so violent. It's just because crazy thoughts are lingering in their minds, and they must have a channel to vent them.
Otherwise, it will not take long before it completely collapses and gets out of control.
As the sound got closer and closer, a group of giant monsters soon appeared in front of them. They were like enlarged versions of chimpanzees, covered with scales and muscles.
These giant monsters were originally strong men in the army. They were much taller than ordinary soldiers and specialized in some relatively special tasks.
When attacked by demonic energy, the size of these giant men in the army grew rapidly, directly turning into behemoths more than ten meters tall.
They dragged weapons made of logs and walked at the front of the team, cutting a passage through the forest to facilitate the march of the army behind them.
After the giant monster passed, there were groups of demonized soldiers. They were ferocious and strong, and they also had the unique temperament of soldiers.
Picking one at random can destroy an ordinary village.
In fact, along the way, countless villages have been destroyed by the demonized legions, and the villagers, cattle and horses have been used as military rations and carried along by auxiliary soldiers.
The legion, totaling nearly 400,000, left clear traces in the forest. Even from a very long distance, you can see the demonic energy rising into the sky.
Even the experienced Loucheng monks were shocked by the size of the demonized army and knew that they had underestimated the enemy.
The monsters catalyzed by the competition are designed to deal with the Loucheng monks, especially this monster army with hundreds of thousands, which they have no chance of defeating.
The monks secretly wondered in their hearts, facing so many terrifying monsters, could Tianxu City be able to defend it?
There was no time to think too much, because the monster had already entered the ambush circle, and the plan was half successful.
Because the scouts did not sound the alarm, the demonized legion swaggered through the valley without knowing that the danger was right in front of them.
The troll passed by, followed by a group of infantry, and everything was calm until the heavy cavalry passed by.
When the heavy cavalry passed by, there was a sudden loud noise and huge rocks rolled down the valleys on both sides.
Stones blocked the exits at both ends, and the heavy armored cavalry immediately broke into commotion. The monks from Loucheng who had been waiting for a long time took action at the same time, throwing down the prepared bombs and incendiary bombs.
The heavily armored cavalry were in chaos, running and wandering amidst the thunder and flames, trying to break out of the ambush.
Due to the transformation of the demonic energy, the body of the heavy armored cavalry and the mount are integrated, somewhat similar to the centaur race.
This makes the cavalry extremely agile in action. The horses are equivalent to their legs and can gallop freely on the battlefield.
After the war horse was frightened, it immediately ran around in panic in the valley. The knight above was also affected and could not control the movement of the war horse at all.
While running wildly, the heavily armored cavalry kept falling to the ground, and the number of casualties increased rapidly.
The bombs that kept being thrown turned the entire valley into a sea of flames.
For the Loucheng monks, it is simply an easy task to use various materials to prepare explosives.
Because there were few people, they prepared a large number of bombs and incendiary bombs, which worked wonders.
The inside of the valley was in chaos, and the demonized legions outside the valley were also affected.
The heavily armored cavalry was ambushed, which made the commander of the Demonic Legion furious and ordered an immediate counterattack.
Following the order, countless demonized soldiers rushed to the peaks on both sides, looking for the ambushed Loucheng monks.
Those giant monsters even rushed to the pile of collapsed rocks. While clearing the obstacles, they also picked up rocks and threw them at the peaks on both sides.
These giant monsters are like moving trebuchets. The flying boulders smash the trees in the forest, and the "rumbling" sound is endless.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the ambushed monks from Loucheng immediately chose to evacuate the battlefield. They followed the pre-selected passage and headed straight for Tianxu City.
