Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 62: Lure the enemy deep into our territory and win a great victory

After hearing this, Gong Tianwu understood that this demon commander Tu Li was no simple person.

The monsters and wild beasts are strong in that they are fearless, fierce in battle, and have strong individual combat power. However, the most difficult thing about them is that they are a group of scattered sands. Once on the battlefield, they will not obey orders and will act on their own.

The result of fighting like this is that when the wind is in your favor, you are very powerful and have strong explosive power, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Once the opponent can withstand your first three attacks, you will almost be defeated.

Tu Li cleverly sets up the battlefield, pulling you directly into the melee that he is best at, and then defeats you with his rich experience.

Before, Gong Tianwu wished he could hear the news of Wei Yong’s death in the next second, but now after knowing the details, his heart sank immediately. Instead, he began to hope that Wei Yong could behave better and hold on a little longer.

As the saying goes, what you fear will come to you. Just when Gong Tianwu was worried about the battle situation ahead, a large group of beast minions suddenly rushed over from afar. Among them were of course half-demons, demon generals and the like, and their number was several times more than before.

Witnessing this scene, Gong Tianwu secretly groaned in his heart. He had finally recovered 20% of his true energy during his previous rest, but ended up using it up in the sneak attack on Cheng Hu. Now he was still feeling cramps in his dantian.

But there is a saying that a general is the courage of his soldiers. Now the hundreds of men behind him are obviously defeated generals and are as frightened as dogs that have lost their homes, so why do they dare to gather here to resist the beast tide?
It was because he had killed the elite of the demon clan and was standing at the forefront with his sword drawn! !
He couldn't help but look back and found that the manor was still in chaos and there was no way to retreat.
Seeing the beasts rushing in like a tide, Xie Tong had already started to dispatch them:

"We have our families, our fellow villagers, our wives and children behind us. Do you think we can quit?"

"Sword and shield soldiers, step out!!!"

"Archers, get ready, keep your shooting range!"

"Spearmen, move forward!!"

"."

As he roared in a slightly hoarse voice, these defeated soldiers who seemed to be scattered sand actually formed a battle formation skillfully, with shields like a wall and spears like a forest. It can be seen that Father Xie really put a lot of effort into this.

Two hundred meters,
one hundred meters,

Fifty meters!
The pungent fishy smell emitted by the claws of the running and charging beasts has already reached my nose.

There were even half-demons and demon generals who began to scream and shriek, emitting demonic energy, giving the beasts their final blessing.

Thirty meters!!

Xie Tong was about to swing the spear in his hand hard, but a series of "hulong" "hulong" "hulong" sounds suddenly came from the castle wall behind him, which was somewhat similar to the sound of sails being blown up by extremely strong wind and then flapping against each other.

Immediately afterwards, four giant wheel-shaped objects suddenly shot out from the top of the village wall. They were surrounded by two or three meter long cold blades. The diameter of each object was even more than five meters. Then they rushed into the herd of beasts in front while spinning at high speed.

Even most demon generals could only dodge such a terrifying war weapon, and ordinary minions were completely unable to resist it. Wherever it passed, it set off a large area of ​​blood and rain! It plowed four bloody roads more than 30 meters long in the beast group before it stopped unwillingly.

This thing is also called the Blood Windmill. It was built by the monks of the Tianji Sect. It has a wide range of uses, whether it is used to deal with beast tides or in fights between sects.

The reason why Xiejiazhuang had such a high-end weapon was that Wei Yong brought it out from the treasury when he evacuated.

Since he successfully seized power, he also regarded Xiejiazhuang as his base, so he did not keep it to himself and directly took it out to improve the defense system.

The beast tide that was coming in with great momentum was immediately defeated after being hit head-on. After all, no matter how crazy these wild beasts and monsters were, they would definitely be afraid when they saw their own kind wailing and screaming and smelled the smell of rotting flesh and blood.

Next, the beast tide faced an oncoming wave of arrow rain. The crossbow arrows fired from the village wall were very dense, which made the beasts rushing in front roll over in pain and scream continuously.

At this time, Gong Tianwu was even more keenly aware of a red shadow that flashed in the distance and then went away. It should be that the fire muntjac was frightened by such a cruel war scene and ran away. This made Gong Tianwu breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Gong Tianwu seemed to realize something. He turned his head and looked towards the wall of the village. He immediately found that the chaos there had been swept away, and his elder brother Xie Zhengyuan was already standing next to an arrow tower, smiling and waving at him.

Gong Tianwu quickly caught up with him and joined him. At this time, he suddenly realized:
"I've been worried that the chaos in the manor has not subsided. It turns out that you did it on purpose, big brother."

Xie Zhengyuan laughed and patted his shoulder:

"Old Five, you fought bravely in the front and bought me so much precious time. How could I not be able to do such a thing?"

Gong Tianwu smiled, but saw that several arrow towers were equipped with a special crossbow. The front end of the crossbow was like an open crow's beak, and the shape was very strange. From time to time, a hot red short spear would shoot out from it!
This thing is extremely powerful. Once it hits, it can cause terrible damage. The key is that it can explode after two seconds to cause secondary damage. It can even kill a half-demon from hundreds of meters away and severely damage a powerful demon general!

Therefore, Gong Tianwu asked curiously:

"What is this?" Xie Zhengyuan asked:

"Before the monster tide came, my father spent a lot of money to buy six of these divine fire crow crossbows. At that time, I had a quarrel with him because of spending too much money. Now it seems that he is far-sighted."

At this time, the group of soldiers below the village wall also shot three rounds of sharp arrows, and then formed a formation and rushed out at the shout of Xie Tong.

At this time, the attacking beasts were already at the end of their strength. After being charged by the soldiers in formation, they quickly lost their fighting spirit and retreated completely, leaving behind dozens of corpses as they fled.

Seeing this scene, Gong Tianwu also breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered:

"Fortunately, I managed to repel this wave of beasts. Now my energy is almost completely exhausted and I can't attack again."

Xie Zhengyuan smiled and said:
"Old Five, just rest assured. I'll take care of everything."

Gong Tianwu nodded, but heard Xie Zhengyuan whisper:
"Someone just reported that Cheng Hu should wake up soon. Lao Wu, you were too gentle at the time."

Gong Tianwu said calmly:
"It's okay. Let him wake up. Wei Yong is probably in danger. This guy can no longer cause any interference to us."

After hearing this, Xie Zhengyuan breathed a sigh of relief and began to order people to do things.

After repelling several waves of beasts in succession, the morale of both the defenders outside the village and the residents inside the village increased rapidly. What's more, this place had been the Xie family's old nest for decades or even hundreds of years.

Next, Xie Zhengyuan began to organize people to go out and clean up the battlefield. On the one hand, it was to treat the wounded, and on the other hand, it was to drag the dead and wounded wild beasts and monsters into the village to skin, bleed and cut their flesh.

Although the beast tide is dangerous, it also contains great wealth.

The fur of dead monsters and animals is the best material.
Bones, blood, and internal organs can be used as medicine to make wine. Tiger bone wine can strengthen bones and produce yang, while snake gall wine can clear away heat and detoxify.

The most crucial thing is that there are many wild beasts, and the half-demons get enough food and huge pressure during the invasion, so they will grow rapidly and produce demon pills in their bodies!

Even the lowest quality demon pills are purchased at high prices in the cultivation world. The price is like winning five million in the lottery, and the probability of getting it is much greater!

Take the three battles that Gong Tianwu had experienced before, for example, he obtained four demon pills, three of which were the inferior white pills, and one was a slightly reddish red pill.

The price of these four demon pills is almost enough to make the Xie family recoup their investment in these three battles.

Of course, there is another very important point, that is, you must win in the end on the battlefield. If you lose, you will lose the qualification to clean up the battlefield, and you will definitely lose everything.

About half an hour later, two or three hundred defeated soldiers in the front ran back one after another, almost all of them were former garrison troops.

The beast tide suffered three consecutive losses and was seriously injured. It no longer tried to attack, but just surrounded Xiejiazhuang from a distance.

The terrain here in Xiejiazhuang is extremely dangerous, and it is known as the Little Jianmen Pass. No matter how many troops you have, only about a hundred people can reach the front of the village wall to launch an attack, so the people in the village are also quite calm.

Seeing that both sides were now in a stalemate, Gong Tianwu simply went to find a quiet place to recuperate. For him, if his true energy could be restored sooner, then the village would have another trump card.

***
After three hours,

Sitting in the quiet room, Gong Tianwu opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a long breath.
There was a faint bloody smell in this long breath, and it was as sharp as a knife or an arrow, and it did not dissipate until it was two meters away. The whole quiet room was filled with a faint smell of blood.

The advantage of the Purple Qi Cave Secret Art was demonstrated at this time. While Gong Tianwu was practicing Qigong and regulating his breathing, he was also able to warm and heal the body. Some hidden injuries and bruises that had occurred in the body when he had taken action before had been quietly healed.

Hearing the noise inside, the servant standing outside hurried in to greet him, then fetched hot water for him to wash his face, and then brought him a bowl of carefully prepared ginseng soup.

After drinking it, General Gong Tianwu immediately felt warm all over his limbs and he felt back to his best condition. After nodding with satisfaction, he strode towards the village wall.

As a result, as soon as Gong Tianwu walked out of the courtyard, he heard shouting and killing sounds coming from afar. He was shocked and immediately picked up a long knife and rushed towards the wall of the village.

In the flickering firelight, one can see that a large number of wolf minions have rushed onto the village wall, but there are still a large number of shield warriors standing on it, facing the impact of the wolves like reefs, standing firm.

A large number of spearmen continuously thrust their spears from behind the shield warriors, knocking down the wolves one by one. The sounds of fighting and shouting could be heard one after another.
