The Legend of Su Yuntao of Douluo - Chapter 217
c215 Ordinary people versus soul masters
Soon, under the mutual harassment between the two sides, the respective armies of Wuhun Palace and Tiandou Empire formed a war.
On the Lima Plain in front of Jialing Pass, two million troops and 40,000 soul masters from both sides faced off against each other, kicking off the largest battle in the history of Douluo Continent.
On the side of the Tiandou Empire, there were a hundred thousand light cavalry in the front line, hundreds of thousands of infantry as the backbone, followed by an assault phalanx composed of heavy cavalry, and finally the soul master army commanded by Ning Fengzhi.
Facing Wuhundian’s army, Marshal Ge Long followed the pre-planned plan, and one hundred thousand light cavalry approached and began to harass and tease Wuhundian’s army, trying to create a flaw in Wuhundian’s formation.
“It seems that the light cavalry of the Tiandou Empire are well-trained and have extraordinary combat capabilities?” Bibi Dong smiled slightly, quite interested.
“Your Majesty, Douluo Continent is the world of soul masters. No matter how well trained ordinary people are, they cannot fight against soul masters.”
Great Elder Tianfeng smiled contemptuously.
“That’s right, Hu Yanzhen, Tuoba Xi.”
“My subordinate is here.”
“Let me test the strength of Tiandou’s army!” Bibi Dong said without any doubt.
“As you command!”
Soon more than two thousand soul masters from the Holy Dragon Sect and the Elephant Armor Sect launched a counterattack against the Tiandou army.
In an instant, accompanied by the roar of elephants and the roar of dragons, the elegant formation of a hundred thousand light cavalry was in vain.
Under the threat of the diamond mammoth and the white-armored holy dragon, the light cavalry horses fled.
Ordinary tigers or even jackals are enough to intimidate war horses, let alone diamond mammoths and white-armored earth dragons?
In any fantasy world, it is impossible for ordinary people to make up for the huge gap in their bodies through training.
In front of ordinary people, the soul warriors would have a huge physical advantage over them, let alone the elite disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect?
Under the attack of the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect, one hundred thousand young cavalrymen instantly fell into chaos and it was impossible to organize and threaten the army of Wuhun Palace in a short period of time.
“Damn it!” Xue Beng clenched his fist and hit his golden chariot hard.
“Your Majesty, the light cavalry originally had no armor and crude equipment. It was originally used to test Bibi Dong.” Marshal Ge Long said with a cupped hand.
Xue Beng calmed down his emotions after hearing this. In fact, he was not so angry because of the defeat of the light cavalry, but because of the huge gap between soul masters and ordinary people.
The Tiandou royal family has been weak for a long time. Within the empire, there are not only a large number of soul master nobles, but also kingdoms and principalities that are independent and dependent on Bibi Dong.
Outside the empire, the soul masters of Wuhun Palace and Qibao Glazed Sect are too powerful. It seems that his so-called army does not have much deterrent effect on soul masters.
As for soul masters, the Tiandou Empire originally had 10,000 soul masters, but a large part of these 10,000 soul masters belonged to the feudal nobles within the empire, and the Tiandou royal family did not have enough soul masters.
In addition to the battle in Tiandou City, four thousand royal family soul masters were massacred by the Wuhun Palace, which made the royal family’s power even less powerful in front of the Qibao Glazed Sect.
After frightening off a hundred thousand light cavalry, the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect launched a tentative attack on the Tiandou Empire’s army.
In this soul master, the equipment carefully prepared by Marshal Ge Long began to work.
“Crossbowmen prepare!”
The huge horn sound spread throughout the Tiandou battle formation.
In an instant, under the beating of drums and the command of officers, the infantrymen fell to the ground.
Two hundred thousand trained archers took out their crossbows, loaded them with arrows, and were ready to go.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong and others frowned. These Tiandou soldiers reacted very quickly, which showed that the quality of Tiandou’s soldiers and officers was indeed good.
“The crossbowmen continue to prepare, and shoot with strong bows and powerful crossbows!”
In front of him, the soul masters of Wuhun Palace had entered the range of the large crossbows. Marshal Ge Long made a prompt decision and issued the order to attack.
In an instant, Tiandou’s largest Saint-killing crossbow slowly opened under the pull of a large number of soldiers.
Then one by one, the Saint-killing arrows were stringed, with dragon teeth as the arrow heads, fine steel as the arrow bodies, and phoenix feathers as the tails.
A famous soul master held a sledgehammer and fired continuously.
One after another, the Saint-killing arrows were angled at a forty-five degree angle and struck at the soul masters in the Wuhun Hall.
Boom boom boom, one after another the killing holy arrows hit the ground at an extremely terrifying speed.
Although due to accuracy and quantity issues, there were no soul master casualties on the Wuhun Palace side in the first round of salvos, the terrifying power of the Saint-killing arrows frightened the disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect. The momentum of the soul master team was stagnant.
The Saint-killing Crossbow is said to be able to kill Soul Saints. Although due to its terrifying cost, insufficient rate of fire, and ridiculous accuracy, no Soul Saint has ever died in its hands, but the power it displays has made Wuhundian The morale of the soul masters dropped.
“Don’t be afraid! Attack the enemy’s formation as quickly as possible!”
Led by several Contra elders, the Elephant Armor Legion and the Holy Dragon Legion showed their background in the lower four sects.
Under the attack of the Saint-killing crossbow, more than two thousand soul masters not only quickly resumed their actions, but also accelerated the pace of the attack.
“Sect Master Huyan, Master Tuoba, leads the troops well.” Bibi Dong nodded with satisfaction.
“It’s all thanks to the Pope.”
Hu Yanzhen and Tuoba Xi said respectfully.
Bibi Dong was satisfied, but the big men on the Tiandou side were stagnant.
Bibi Dong sent the most elite Xiangjia Sect and Shenglong Sect to be the first attack, which was undoubtedly the most correct thing.
Hesitation on the battlefield will lead to defeat, and hesitation will lead to death. The main function of the Saint-killing Crossbow is not to kill the enemy, but to intimidate the enemy.
The Saint-Slaying Crossbow, which is huge, cumbersome, cumbersome to operate, has a terrible rate of fire, and is extremely expensive to build, is destined to be ineffective, but it can be miraculous when facing some poorly trained soul masters.
Soul masters are also human beings. Under the threat of death, ordinary soul master teams will always have some flaws, but the actions of the four sects of the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect are destined that their soul masters will not be ordinary!
Soon the Saint-killing crossbow launched several more rounds of volleys, but except for the four lucky ones who were exploded by the Saint-killing arrows falling from the sky, there were no casualties among the more than two thousand spirit masters in the Spirit Hall.
In front of him, the soul masters of the Wuhun Palace were getting closer and closer to the Tiandou battle formation. Marshal Ge Long ordered the Saint-killing crossbow to shoot upward for the last time.
“The sixth soul skill! Wrath of the Mammoth!”
There was another volley in front of him, and with enough distance in front of him, the leading elder of the Elephant Armor Sect, Soul Douluo Hu Yanzhuo, activated his sixth soul skill.
In an instant, due to the increase in soul skills, Hu Yanzhen, who was originally over two and a half meters tall, and looked like a giant, quickly grew in size.
The next moment, he exerted force on his legs and jumped into the air, firmly grasping a speeding Saint-killing arrow with one hand.
Immediately after the Tiandou soldiers looked horrified, they threw the Saint-killing arrow in their hands into the Tiandou Needle with their backhand.
This arrow was extremely powerful and powerful. It was like a string of candied haws, and it shot through the thirty-six soldiers of Tiandou! Insert into a rock!
In an instant, the morale of the entire Tiandou army was shattered, while the morale of the Wuhun Palace side continued to rise.
“The great elder is mighty!”
“The great elder is mighty!”
“The great elder is mighty!”
All of a sudden, all the Elephant Armor Sect disciples shouted loudly that the Great Elder was mighty and advanced faster towards the Tiandou battle formation.
“Yes, yes, you got the head start and boosted the morale of our Wuhun Palace army. Hu Yanzhuo did a good job. I will definitely reward you for your merits after the war.” Bibi Dong smiled and nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
“Your Majesty, don’t worry. With the soldiers of our Xiangjia Sect here, we will defeat the Tiandou army today!” Hu Yanzhen said with a smile.
Faced with the unparalleled performance of General Hu Yanzhuo, the entire Tiandou army began to become unstable. The soldiers were already under huge pressure against the soul masters, not to mention that there was a soul Douluo who showed his majesty?
Although ordinary people in Douluo Continent have long been accustomed to the existence of soul masters, the performance of high-level soul masters is nothing short of a miracle in their eyes. Therefore, if their own soul masters had not suppressed the formation, the Tiandou army should have collapsed by now. .
“Stabilize the formation! Don’t get up!”
The crossbowmen and heavy armored infantry at the front trembled under the suppression of the officers. Some soldiers who wanted to get up and escape were killed by the noble officers as a warning to the monkeys.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
As the spirit masters of Wuhun Hall approached, in addition to the Saint-Slaying Crossbow, other large crossbows began to fire in volleys. The Saint-Slaying Crossbow also began to lower its elevation angle and began to shoot flatly under adjustment.
Gradually, the soul masters of Wuhun Palace began to suffer casualties in increasingly intensive attacks. Although they were wearing heavy armor, in front of the large crossbows, the Elephant Corps and the Holy Dragon, which were mainly low-level soul masters, Most of the legion’s soul masters still couldn’t withstand the frontal concentration of large crossbows.
“Send the order! The crossbowman launches!”,
“Cuckoo!”
“Dong dong dong!”
The low sound of horns and drums centered on Avalanche’s golden chariot and continued to spread, leading to more sounds of drums and horns.
In the sky, countless signal flares were fired, conveying military orders to the Tiandou army.
“Fire the arrow!”
In an instant, the 200,000 well-trained crossbowmen at the front threw a dense rain of arrows into the sky, heading straight for the soul masters in the Spirit Hall.
Facing the dense rain of arrows, the soul master of Wuhun Palace had to lower his head to avoid hurting his fragile eyes.
Although they are wearing heavy armor, it is impossible for the light crossbows in the hands of ordinary soldiers to break through hundreds of kilograms of forged armor, but even the eyes of titled Douluo are extremely fragile, let alone low-level soul masters like them?
However, although lowering his head effectively protected his eyes, his knees were not covered by the armor.
In the rain of arrows that filled the sky, one soul master after another was hit in the knee by an arrow. Those with high soul power staggered, while those with low soul power fell to the ground.
However, the rain of arrows is not the main killing method of Tiandou’s army. The arrows in the sky are actually just to make the soul master lower his head and lose his eyesight.
And the large crossbows one after another are the main means of dealing with the soul masters of Wuhun Palace.
Under the cover of the rain of arrows, more and more Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall were shot to the ground.
With the advantage of the equipment, ordinary people finally had some countermeasures when they united in front of the soul master.
“Children, speed up and rush over!”
Hu Yanzhuo’s teeth were about to crack as he watched one disciple after another fall under the force of the strong bow and crossbow.
At this moment, he wanted to be the first to rush into the Tiandou battle formation and kill everyone, but as the commander of the Elephant Legion, he had to lead the entire legion.
Finally, after injuring a large number of soul masters, the soul masters from Wuhun Palace came to the front of Tiandou’s army.
“Get up and meet the enemy!”
Seeing the enemies in front of them who could tear apart tigers and leopards with their hands and trample dragons and elephants with their feet, the Tiandou officers issued orders hysterically.
Tiandou’s heavy armored infantry also mustered up great courage and began to use maces, sledgehammers, and giant axes to fight at close range with the soul masters who were invulnerable and far more powerful than tigers and leopards.
There is a saying that goes well: if the Ming army is not satisfied with its pay, it will be invincible if it is fully paid!
In the Tiandou Empire, these heavy armored infantrymen were all elites who had been carefully selected through the efforts of the whole country.
They are tall and powerful, train every day, and receive huge preferential treatment in terms of military supplies.
So these heavy armored infantry can wield sledgehammers, maces, and giant axes.
Moreover, the empire has an order that anyone who kills a soul master will be promoted to eight levels in a row and will receive a bounty of 10,000 soul coins!
Ten thousand gold soul coins is an astronomical figure for ordinary soldiers, but a family can feast and drink for a lifetime, and there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, so the Tiandou soldiers still have the courage to fight.
Of course, the heavy armored infantry raised by the Tiandou Empire to deal with soul masters also have one characteristic, that is, they are all people with families.
Therefore, as long as the family members are used as hostages and those who escape from the battle are killed, the morale of these heavy armored infantrymen in killing the enemy will be greatly increased.
For a time, countless soldiers formed small square formations one after another, fighting to the death with the soul masters of Wuhun Hall.
The soul masters of Wuhun Palace are far superior to Lu Bu, but on the one hand, they offer a reward of ten thousand gold, and on the other hand, they implicate the nine clans.
The temptation of large sums of money and the coercion of family members, the Tiandou royal family’s two-pronged approach achieved good results.
A soul master from the Elephant Armor Sect knocked over more than a dozen soldiers in a row, but two maces hit his knees, causing his body to stagnate.
In just this moment, countless giant hammers and countless large axes were used to chop and hammer, severely injuring people.
That’s not all, there were also densely packed spears stabbing toward his eyes.
In the end, this soul master was surrounded by ants.
Under the siege of the Tiandou army, the two thousand spirit masters of the Wuhun Palace fell into a sea of people. Hundreds of thousands of Tiandou infantry resisted, making the battle tense for a while.
“Damn it! Some ants actually killed a disciple like me!” Tuoba Xi’s eyes were about to burst as he watched one clan member after another fall into a pool of blood.
“Your Majesty, please send troops to rescue!” Hu Yanzhen knelt down on one knee and prayed quickly.
Bibi Dong remained calm.
“Give the order, the infantry will get out of the way, the soul masters will temporarily withdraw to repair, and my heavy armored cavalry from Wuhun Palace will attack!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Hu Yanzhen and Tuoba Xi were overjoyed.
The low horn sounded in the army of Wuhun Palace.
The originally stable infantry phalanx changed rapidly. Heavy armored cavalry filed out and formed an impact phalanx in the open space.
The enemy in front of them changed their formations. Under the command of Marshal Ge Long, the remaining Tiandou light cavalry used their mobility to try to harass, but they were driven away by the powerful soul masters of Wuhun Palace.
Under an excellent command system, ten heavy cavalry were formed to attack the phalanx. Bibi Dong directly sent out 100,000 elite heavy cavalry, intending to defeat the Tiandou army’s formation in one fell swoop.
