Chapter 309: Drawing fire under the cauldron
After returning to Hongya Cave.
Demon King Yuanlu settled down with Dai Fufu, Zhu Duiyou and a group of Dai family members, and immediately went out to gather the bison herd.
The Demon King in the Nascent Soul stage works so quickly. In less than a day, he brought back dozens of herds of cattle, large and small, totaling more than 100,000!
Fortunately, the interior of Hongya Cave is vast enough to accommodate so many monsters.
Although Demon King Kuihu's sentry also noticed the movement, he had no way to stop it and had to let it go.
That night, with the help of Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou, Yuanlu Demon King arranged the Fire Ox Formation properly.
Mr. Yao, on the other hand, was training the original demon soldiers and horses in an intense and orderly manner.
After all, all the work is to buy time for it to train.
The Fire Bull Formation is just a delaying tactic.
……
The next day, drums and cannons were fired outside Hongya Cave.
Demon King Kuihu led the army to launch another frontal attack, and this time his morale was obviously even higher.
After two great victories in a row, the whole army saw the dawn of victory. They thought that Yuanlu Demon King's side could not resist for long, so they cut through the mess quickly and captured the thief first.
Groups of demon soldiers marched into the frontline positions in an orderly manner under the command of flags and drums.
The first five lines of defense had already been smashed to pieces by two rounds of attacks, and they were easily overcome without any effort.
For the next rear defense line, due to Lin Shan Youlingbao's cheating, he also narrowly avoided the formation to kill and stabbed in.
The Hongyadong defenders were unable to effectively resist and could only be defeated one after another. They were forced to abandon their positions one by one and move their positions to block the attack.
The battle took place nearly half a day later.
Demon King Kuihu's army was overwhelming, and it reached the ninth line of defense one after another. At this time, it had penetrated deeply enough that the teams could not respond to each other, and they were inseparable from each other. It was a bit difficult for Lin Shan to command from the general platform outside.
There was a sudden explosion deep in Hongya Cave, and the earth suddenly shook.
Countless rocks rolled down from the mountain, and a huge curtain of smoke and dust swept over the sky.
"Tap tap tap tap!!!~~~"
“Moo~~~”
The roars of cows came one after another, and the sound was deafening and dizzying.
The various armies trapped in the formation were immediately collided by the buffalo herd, and their formation was immediately thrown into chaos.
The boundless sea of fire swept over.
The eyes of all the buffalo herds are red at the moment, their bodies are on fire, and they are carrying thick smoke. Their horns are equipped with thorns and sharp thorns, their tails are tied with reeds and filled with oil, and their bodies are painted with special fire-preventing inscriptions. They are hung behind them as they charge. With the thunder in the sky, each one screamed in pain and ran rampant in the formation.
The demon soldiers under Demon King Kuihu are all elite, and the demon generals are all battle-hardened.
When encountering an unexpected situation, they did not panic. Instead, they stopped their breakthrough and advance. They formed defensive formations on the spot without haste, and fought independently under the leadership of various generals.
The first collision between the intelligent demon army and the wild beast tide was a complete massacre.
The blood of the buffaloes was sprinkled on the spot, and they were shot from the air without even getting close.
The corpses were piled up one layer after another, and the wide defense line from left to right was piled up like a mountain of residual limbs. It only took a short quarter of an hour for the blood to flow into a river.
The fire was still burning, spreading from the corpse to the river of blood, and was carried to the grass by the blood river.
Demon King Kuihu's elite command and control, whether it's flames, blood rivers, or buffalo herds, are firmly blocked ten feet away, and the wind is light and the clouds are calm without any obstruction.
At the top of Hongya Cave, Demon King Yuanlu, Mr. Yan, Dai Bubu, Zhu Duiyou and others were condescendingly looking down at the battlefield without the slightest surprise.
After all, the beast tide is a ragtag group. If they can easily defeat the demon army, then they demon kings don't need to train the demon soldiers so hard. They can just gather the tribe without being reckless.
The demon army is composed of intelligent demons. They know military discipline, know how to cooperate, can obey orders, can form military formations, and can also bless their generals to gain superior combat power. They all have their own spirituality of independent thinking. Beasts give them Not even suitable for carrying shoes!
However, since Zhu Duiyou offered the Fire Ox Formation, he naturally had his intentions.
"Moo!!!~~~"
A huge shadow of more than thirty feet appeared directly above the battlefield.
It was a black bull demon soul, born from the bodies of countless buffalo herds, and condensed with the power of the formation. It dominated the world as soon as it appeared, and the invisible pressure radiated for dozens of miles.
The fierce wind roared, bringing up boundless black clouds, and the black clouds pressed down on the city and threatened to destroy it!
The momentum of the fire bull group below increased greatly, as if they were superimposed with twelve layers of inspiration halo. Both offensive and defensive resistance were increased by more than one level. All the troops felt the pressure when they resisted.
Lin Shan and others who were directing on the stage in the distance were shocked.
They were still discussing the next steps of the attack on the sand table, and sent teams of scouts back and forth to collect intelligence from all parties to find out why the offensive of the army trapped in the formation was blocked. They didn't expect that they would come out like this!
"Is this black bull demon soul another one of Demon King Yuanlu's trump cards?"
Young Master Jiuyou looked into the distance in horror, and the suffocation could be felt from a distance.
Demon King Kuihu sat under the treasure and did not move. Once it made a move, the other side would also make a move, which was meaningless.
At this moment, seeing the shocking changes in the distance, I was also shocked and confused.
"Yuanlu has such a trump card, how come I have never seen it before?"
Young Master Jiuyou couldn't help but ask: "Did Mr. Yan do it?"
Demon King Kuihu shook his head. It was naturally aware of Mr. Yao's abilities. This was the first time it had seen such a powerful military spirit.
At this time, the detective horse sent out by the front line came back after a bloody battle. Fortunately, he brought back a shadow stone.
The light curtain image recorded the scene in the array in detail.
Seeing countless buffalo herds rushing past with dust inside, falling one after another like mowing grass, and rushing forward one after another, everyone on the stage took a breath of air.
Zhong Shenxiu saw those bovine beasts burning with flames, vaguely made a conjecture, and spoke with some uncertainty.
"Could this be the Fire Bull Formation?"
Demon King Kuihu and Young Master Jiuyou all turned their heads. They had never heard of this term before.
Some of the demon generals who stayed behind, including the Demon King Naosnake, who had always had no sense of presence, also cast their sights over.
Lin Shan had some memories in a daze. He recalled that when the Lujiang League attacked the Dai family, he seemed to have encountered such an incident. However, the scale at that time was far from what it is now, and it was simply dwarfed by the big one.
"It is indeed the Fire Bull Formation, but why is its power so different from what I have seen before?"
Everyone quickly asked Lin Shan where they had seen him before.
Lin Shan didn't hide his secrets, and he had to hide this. He directly and openly told everyone what he saw and heard in the Dai family back then.
After his description, he combined it with the picture of the shadow stone.
It seems a bit similar!
In addition to being very different in power, they are very different in form.
"Could it be that there is someone else helping Demon King Yuanlu?"
A group of people and the demon looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
How do the hundreds of spirit beasts in the Dai family compare to a big dog like Yuanlu Demon King?
He was originally the biggest leader of the herbivorous beasts. He raised his arms and pulled as many buffaloes as he wanted. Eight thousand of them died without any feeling of distress or even blinking an eye!
It makes sense that the power is so different.
However, on the battlefield, there was a roaring storm in an instant, and every breath was changing rapidly.
Under the leadership of the huge black bull demon soul, the momentum of the hundreds of thousands of fire bulls below surged, as if the waves were rushing and the waves were crashing on the shore. Demon King Kuihu's various armies are like small boats, swaying in the waves and struggling to hold up.
There were layers of corpses outside, but Demon King Yuanlu showed no mercy.
How can there be no sacrifice on the way to achieve great things?
Although these groups of monsters are also rooted in it, compared to Hongya Cave, they are obviously close to each other.
The Fire Ox Formation was originally unable to break through the blockade of the army, but with the blessing of the Black Ox Demonic Soul, it now poses a faint threat, and it is becoming more and more serious.
Demon King Kuihu's army had previously stormed through the nine lines of defense, and now it was fighting with all its strength against the endless fire bull array. Their endurance and energy were gradually becoming too much, and they even began to weaken.
Several people looking down from Hongyadong Mountain discovered this turning point, and Zhu Duiyou immediately advised Yuanlu Demon King.
“Your Majesty, if we don’t send troops now, how much later will we wait!”
Demon King Yuanlu did not hesitate and immediately ordered his generals to attack.
Although the demon clan defenders in Hongyadong are old, weak, sick and disabled, they are still regular troops and they still have combat effectiveness.
At this time, he was waiting for work, following behind the Fire Bull Formation, and followed the trend to cover up and kill them, and the scene instantly got out of control.
Several large armies were directly defeated and began to fight hand to hand.
On the general platform in the distance, Demon King Kuihu suddenly stood up.
This time it really couldn't sit still!
Unexpectedly, the seemingly certain battle would have such variables!
Who is the master behind the Yuanlu Demon King who can advise him on the Fire Bull Formation? It seems like he has the potential to make a comeback?
However, Demon King Kuihu, as the veteran overlord of the southern part of the forbidden area for so many years, is naturally not without means.
When Lin Shan and others were helpless, it immediately ordered the herald.
"Where is the Flying Tiger Army?"
The herald blew the bugle and the flag changed, and hundreds of demon soldiers walked out from the direct line reserve troops behind them.
All of these monster soldiers are colorful tigers, with white eyes, strong limbs, strong muscles, and tiger tails like maces. The key is that all of them have wings on their ribs!
They are all mutant demon tigers!
This is the "Flying Tiger Army", one of the two ace troops under Demon King Kuihu!
Of course, the other one is the Flying Bear Army.
It was just that they were defeated by Mr. Nong in the battle at Jingqilin. Now this is the only one left, but it is also the best among the best.
A Golden Core white tiger demon general came out. Judging from the race, there seemed to be no blood relationship with Demon King Kuihu. They were just barely considered the same clan and were divided into different tiger branches.
At this moment, there was no need for Demon King Kuihu to give any more orders, he just led the Flying Tiger Army into the sky without saying a word.
Like a sharp white spear, it cut through the sky and headed towards the black bull demon soul in the formation.
Lin Shan quickly returned to the sand table and provided the herald with a marching route through the formation.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful these Flying Tigers are, it will be in vain if they are blocked from entering.
There was also a group of reserve teams in the rear, and at this time they all came to the first five lines of defense to prepare for the evacuation of the friendly forces inside.
By this time, the army inside was exhausted and was not suitable for a long battle.
In order to preserve his strength, Demon King Kuihu decisively ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
The Flying Tiger Army rushed in with force to contain the black bull demon soul. Listening to the sound of drums and gongs, the armies below began to fight and retreat. Along the way, countless fire bulls ran around and trampled on each other.
The Yuanlu Demon King's army took advantage of the situation to pursue them, hiding among the cattle and roaring to kill them.
This battle lasted for a long time and ended at sunset.
The two sides stopped at the fifth line of defense, and each of them took back their positions and stopped advancing rashly. They drew a line between the Chu River and Han Dynasty and watched from the other side.
Demon King Kuihu looked at the troops returning from the front line one after another. Each one was covered in scars and bruised, mentally exhausted and depressed. He reluctantly withdrew under the pressure of the Flying Tiger Army and the reserve team.
The large screen of light on the opponent's sixth line of defense was still changing colors, and the Hongyadong defenders inside were standing ready, gathering up the out-of-control fire bull herd, but did not chase them out.
Demon King Yuanlu on the top of the mountain in the distance cast his gaze over and met the eyes of Demon King Kuihu.
The two demons have looked at each other like this for countless times.
Demon King Kuihu's eyes glowed with a strange green light, and he looked at Mr. Nong beside him with a murderous look on his face. He glanced at the faces of the two strange young people behind him, and he knew in his heart that the other party was just like him. People help.
As the sun sets, the sky droops.
Both parties retreated, and today's battle ended.
……
In the king's tent, the atmosphere changed from the relaxed and smooth atmosphere of the previous few days to silence and coldness.
The light from the brazier shone on the faces of all the demon generals. They secretly lowered their eyelids, not wanting to expose their expressions for fear of being seen by the king.
"In the daytime battle, our army was destroyed and lost three troops. More than five hundred soldiers were killed, over a thousand wounded, and tens of thousands of monsters were killed."
After Zhong Shenxiu finished the statistics, he reported it. While reporting, he couldn't help but feel frightened. The intensity this time was so fierce that it was almost half as good as Jing Qilin's battle!
"Bang!"
Demon King Kuihu was so angry that he slapped the table in front of him, gritting his teeth with hatred.
"What's the use of killing tens of thousands of demon cows? It's not the army of Demon King Yuanlu! Use those cannon fodder in exchange for my elite, it's really a good deal!"
The source of its demon soldiers is not easy at all. This time, three cave troops were wiped out at once, which can be considered as a big injury.
"Fellow strategists, that boy Yuanlu has the Fire Ox Formation to help him, what can he do?"
Lin Shan frowned, but responded without thinking.
"Your Majesty, now that the matter has come to an end, we have to shoot! We are just one step away from victory. We cannot retreat just because of the Fire Bull Formation. Moreover, we still have more than 3,000 elites and even the ace Flying Tiger Army. If If we fight to the death, we still have a good chance of winning into Hongya Cave.”
This is the truth, and Demon King Kuihu naturally knows it.
The Fire Bull Formation was certainly powerful, but today it was just a surprise.
The elite army under its command was caught off guard and still killed tens of thousands of enemies, which was enough to show the gap between the two.
However, if the fierce attack continues according to Lin Shan's statement, the final casualties may be very large, so large that Demon King Kuihu will be unable to bear it.
Zhong Shenxiu was also eager to enter Hongya Cave at this time, so he and his second brother were naturally on the same front.
"Your Majesty, you really shouldn't slow down at this time. Instead, you should speed up your attack and take it all at once. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be."
Demon King Kuihu was still hesitating, letting him risk his own money to fight, instinctively feeling pain in his body.
At this time, Young Master Jiuyou stood up and suggested: "Your Majesty, today's view of the Fire Bull Formation is indeed a huge obstacle to our army. However, what the two wise brothers said is not unreasonable. Wei Chen suggests that it is better to attack on both sides."< br>
"How about a two-pronged approach?"
The generals turned their attention.
The young master of Jiuyou is categorical:
"The Fire Bull Formation under the Demon King Yuanlu comes from the vast plains of Hongyaye. In this case, we might as well just take the lead and attack Hongyadong while sending a small force to strangle the buffalo herd outside. Break their roots!”
This move is not cruel, this young demon master seems to be planning to directly exterminate the clan!
Kill all the buffalo monsters on the Hongyaye Plain, as many as there are!
