It was already dusk. Wu Anbang had lost four major cities in succession and was still defending the fifth city. This city was surrounded on three sides by an army of 300,000 people and was in danger.
Mu Qianyu left the spaceship above the cliff pass, and went with Beichenye and Xiaoruo to the place where Wu Anbang was holding firm.
"Sir, I'm afraid this city cannot be saved." Wu Anbang said with a look of shame.
When Mu Qianyu came, he saw his newly armed soldiers being killed one after another by people who climbed up the city wall. He was furious, but he could only say: "It's no longer safe. Send them away with the city behind us. Let's retreat to the city."
Yaguan."
She almost said this through clenched teeth. She had never suffered such a loss when she was alone. It seems that marching and fighting is really a science. It is unpredictable and difficult to control.
Wu Anbang did not put forward any different opinions. With their current strength of only 20,000 troops, it would not be easy to even defend Daya Pass, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, let alone waste time here.
"General Wu, you take the soldiers and retreat. Xiao Ruo, let's cut off the rear." Mu Qianyu ordered.
"hold head high!"
Xiao Ruo suddenly turned into a golden dragon, swept his tail towards the soldiers who climbed up the city wall, and then swooped down, knocking countless soldiers away with his huge body.
The opponent's powerful offensive was disintegrated in an instant. Of course, the opponent was not a vegetarian. Several of the Spirit King Peaks had already rushed over upon seeing this. Together, these people were able to control Xiaoruo.
At this moment, the two sides have turned into a struggle between strong men. Beichen Ye stood on the city wall and had no intention of taking action.
His strength cannot be exposed except as a last resort, otherwise an overlord with a powerful Spirit King realm will become the target of public criticism.
Mu Qianyu held back his breath for a long time, and immediately took out the stick. For those who wanted to fight for strength, he would swing it and smash it. For those who wanted to use magical weapons, he would use the Qiankun Cauldron to stop them.
Each man and one dragon's attacks were more domineering than the last. In the blink of an eye, five or six Soul King realms were eliminated. Two of them had their skulls smashed, and another had his head smashed into the chest. This shows how much he had suffered during his lifetime.
Violent treatment.
Seeing this, the opponent did not dare to attack with strong men, and began to use heavy crossbow arrows. Dozens of people pulled open the bow strings, and released a huge arrow the size of a spear towards the two people in the sky.
This kind of giant crossbow arrows are specially used to deal with strong people or attack cities. The arrows are made of hard and sharp material. Even if they hit the Spirit Master level, they will be seriously injured.
Even when facing a large number of crossbow arrows in the Soul King realm, one must avoid their sharp edges, because if one is not careful, one may be shot through. When the bows and arrows and strong men on the opposite side attack, they will have no choice but to wait for death.
Therefore, unless there are super strong people in front of the two armies who can influence the battle situation by themselves, those at the Spirit King level and below can only become living targets for the opponent's heavy crossbows.
"Let's go." Mu Qianyu didn't want to fight against these monster-like heavy equipment, so he led Xiao Ruo towards the city.
"Siege the city!" the opposing general ordered again.
The soldiers climbed up the city wall again, but at this time Xiaoruo would continue to interfere, waiting for the opponent to take aim before disappearing.
After several attempts to stop him, Wu Anbang led his people to evacuate to the next city, and finally retreated to Daya Pass.
Mu Qianyu and the other three people also returned to the pass when the cliff was closed.
The pursuers from the two major forces arrived, but they did not dare to act rashly.
Daya Pass is built on a high mountain. The road up to the pass is very steep. The pass is not particularly big and does not require many people to defend it, but it can stop thousands of troops.
"They don't have many people. Attack me with all your strength. Don't wait for reinforcements to arrive."
The opponent's general gave the order and the opponent's soldiers rushed through the gate at night.
Inside the pass, Bei Chenye waved his hand and brought archers to shoot arrows one after another. Wu Anbang also organized soldiers to throw down the huge rocks in the mountains, pick up the ones the size of a thousand kilograms, and roll them down from a high place. One piece would have strong enough lethality.
The soldiers below had no other choice but to rush forward one after another, and then stayed behind in waves. They attacked for two full hours, and tens of thousands of people died but could not advance.
The general on the opposite side was a little collapsed. He thought that the opponent would not have many arrows. Once the arrows were used up, most of their deterrent effect would be reduced, so he was willing to use people to fill them.
But he didn't expect that the opponent would shoot arrows with a very strong density. He shot for two full hours, and it didn't seem like there was any shortage of arrows.
An arrow like this is expensive to make. He was really surprised that the other party actually had so many arrows. How much money did he have to be so arrogant?
"Attack me, I won't believe it!" The general admitted his death and gritted his teeth and ordered to charge again.
There are few soldiers in the pass, but fortunately the pass is not very big. Taking turns to shoot arrows is just a little harder, but you can still shoot high density.
As for bows and arrows, Mu Qianyu has a lot of metal. She spent the previous month making enough bows and arrows for a million-strong army, so she would have more than enough to use them for another two months, not to mention two hours.
So in the next three hours, the two major forces on the opposite side fully felt the power of money. They used bows and arrows more often than stones. No matter how many people they used or how fast they charged, they would always be able to charge.
They will be beaten down mercilessly.
The archers in the city also had a hard time shooting arrows. Even if they took turns, their arms were so sore that they couldn't lift them. Now they just rely on willpower to hold on.
It was already late at night, and it looked like it would be dawn if the fight continued. The opponent's nearly 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers were lost, but they had no intention of retreating. It can be said that their willpower was very firm.
Both Beichen Ye and Mu Qianyu could appreciate the strong willpower and judgment of the opposing general. It was obvious that the other party knew that there were only a few people in the pass, and as long as they continued like this, the one that would not be able to hold on in the end would definitely be within Daya Pass.
And once the attack stops for even half a day, the pass will definitely have time to mobilize more people to guard the pass, and then they will really lose the best opportunity.
But what they didn't know was that Beichenye had thought of the situation he might face now half a day ago. He not only took away all the archers in Jiangning Prefecture, but also ordered Mo Feng to mobilize the remaining archers from various prefectures and counties.
Mo Feng was transported by spaceship throughout the entire journey, and by the time he arrived at Daya Pass, he had already recruited another five thousand archers and brought enough bows and arrows to defend the city for ten days.
At dawn, rivers of blood had already flowed under Daya Pass, but people from the two major forces suddenly felt that the bows and arrows in the pass that had just weakened were becoming stronger again.
Things were clearly going wrong.
"No, the situation has changed. I'm afraid there may be support from the city." One of the generals frowned.
