Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air
Chapter 614 Battle of White Tiger Pass
Tang Xiao led a large army to reinforce Baihu Pass in a very short time.
At this time, the garrison at Baihu Pass numbered 200,000.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Dou Empire had only 150,000 men, most of whom were deserters from the Star Luo Empire. These men were unwilling to fight their own countrymen, and their morale was low.
Militarily, capturing a fortress like White Tiger Pass would require at least several times the number of troops defending it. On the Heavenly Dou Empire's side, the forces were far from sufficient, and their fighting spirit was exceptionally weak.
Any seasoned military commander would know that this battle was a foregone conclusion; once the battle began, it would only result in the soldiers dying in vain.
Golong proposed sending more troops more than once, but was blocked by the Spirit Hall.
In the central command tent, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was in charge of the Spirit Hall's deployment, pointed to the sand table that had been set up and laughed, "Everyone, don't worry, I have my own way of breaking through the walls of White Tiger Pass."
Seeing this, Golong said no more.
With Golden Crocodile Douluo's strength, breaking through the walls of White Tiger Pass would not be a problem if he went all out.
However, if a Title Douluo powerhouse appears on the battlefield so quickly, and the Star Luo Empire defending the city is prepared, the casualties on both sides could be enormous.
This time, they didn't bring many troops with them, and suffered heavy losses at Baihu Pass. Even if they eventually break through Baihu Pass, they probably won't have a chance to reach Xingluo City.
Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't offer much explanation.
Currently, the Spirit Hall's production of soul tools is low, barely enough to arm an entire army.
Although the number of people is small, the power of the soul tools should not be underestimated, especially those soul cannons. Even a Soul Emperor would perish on the spot if directly hit by them.
Under the command of Golden Crocodile Douluo, this army reorganized its equipment and prepared for battle at any time.
……
On the city wall of Baihu Pass.
Tang Xiao immediately took over military affairs here. Gazing at the military tents of the Heaven Dou Empire in the distance, he muttered to himself, "The Spirit Hall's Soul Master Legion has indeed arrived. I wonder..."
The combined number of Soul Master legions of the two great empires is far less than that of the Spirit Hall. Not to mention, the Star Luo Empire alone needs to leave a portion of its Soul Master army to guard the rear of the empire, and it is impossible to send them all to the battlefield.
This time, Tang Xiao dispatched more than two hundred elite disciples of the Haotian Sect, as well as three elders.
I wonder which Title Douluo the Spirit Hall will send to lead the charge. If it's Qian Daoliu, White Tiger Pass will surely fall.
Yu Xiaogang, who was standing to the side, said, "Sect Leader Tang, Baihu Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, especially since we are equipped with a large number of hidden weapons. If the enemy attacks the city, they will not gain any advantage in our hands."
He changed the subject abruptly, saying in a deep voice, "I'm worried that the Spirit Hall will send a Title Douluo to forcibly break through the walls of White Tiger Pass."
His concerns are justified.
Against conventional weapons, the tall walls of White Tiger Pass are sturdy enough to be impenetrable. However, against the direct impact of a Title Douluo's soul skill, a breach could easily be blasted into the walls.
Tang Xiao collected his thoughts and his gaze sharpened. "Master, if the Spirit Hall sends out a Title Douluo, I will lead the sect's elders to meet them. You will then command the defending army."
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and repeatedly assured him.
As night fell, neither side made any move.
Under normal circumstances, the attacking side will not choose to attack a city at night. Due to obstructed visibility, a night attack could easily lead to stampedes if the formation is disrupted.
But don't forget, the Heavenly Dou army is now equipped with soul tools.
Under the command of Golden Crocodile Douluo, the army armed with soul tools quickly assembled and transported the soul cannons to the designated location using storage soul tools.
Immediately afterward, under the arrangement of Golden Crocodile Douluo, Marshal Ge Long quickly dispatched a large army to join them.
Suddenly, a series of sharp whistles echoed through the pitch-black night sky, and extremely bright fireballs were shot into the sky, like miniature suns.
Illuminated by the fireball's light, the entire White Tiger Pass was completely illuminated. In contrast, the Heavenly Dou army remained hidden in the darkness, creating a situation where the enemy was in the light and we were in the dark.
Chaos erupted on the walls of Baihu Pass.
The sky above Baihu Pass was as bright as day, and the enemy could see all the deployments on the city walls, which was very disadvantageous for them.
Tang Xiao rushed to the city wall immediately and ordered his soldiers to use crossbows to shoot down the fireballs in the sky.
Before they could achieve any results, a series of thunderous sounds came from afar.
Before Tang Xiao could investigate further, cannonballs rained down on the city walls, instantly killing and wounding many soldiers who couldn't evacuate in time.
The firepower of this soul-guided cannon was exceptionally dense, causing the hundred-meter-high city wall to sway precariously.
Amidst the barrage of gunfire, Tang Xiao seemed to have lost his soul, standing there in a daze until Yu Xiaogang's urging voice came.
"Sect Leader Tang, quickly arrange for people to withdraw from the city walls! Something's fishy going on with the Spirit Hall!"
Tang Xiao regained his senses and, relying on his Title Douluo's own flying ability, soared into the sky to observe the battlefield situation.
The Tiandou army not only had flares illuminating the sky, but also cannons with a range of over a thousand paces.
The Tang Clan's hidden weapons are indeed powerful, but they are far from having such a range.
On the battlefield, every inch longer means an inch stronger.
If these cannons continue to bombard us, White Tiger Pass will probably be completely destroyed!
Tang Xiao's eyes sharpened, and he immediately returned to White Tiger Pass, arranging for a group of elite soul masters to accompany him in attacking the cannon position.
……
Meanwhile, at the Hanhai City Wharf.
After several days of cleaning, all the ruins on Poseidon Island have been cleared away, restoring it to its original state.
The believers on Poseidon Island were transported back to the mainland by ships from the Spirit Hall.
Currently, the Soul Masters in Hanhai City are unaware that Seagod Island has been destroyed. However, compared to before, there is no one in the city spreading the faith of the Seagod anymore.
The Spirit Hall's operations were kept extremely secret, and the consequences the Chai family had anticipated did not occur. They remain in Hanhai City, cooperating with the Spirit Hall.
With the help of the Chai family, this group of believers from Seagod Island were secretly sent out of Hanhai City. These people will spend the rest of their lives in the Spirit Hall's mines.
During the transport, a believer from Seagod Island slipped away from the Spirit Hall and quietly broke away from the group.
This person was none other than Yu Tianheng.
He remained on Seagod Island and naturally experienced the Spirit Hall's island-destroying operation.
Because he wasn't a true Sea Soul Master, he managed to escape by infiltrating a merchant convoy that was clearing the battlefield after the war.
Watching his fellow citizens of Seagod Island being arbitrarily captured and enslaved by the Spirit Hall, he dared not speak out against his anger!
Just like when the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan was wiped out, he could only watch helplessly.
He wanted revenge, but the thought of his talent for cultivation being destroyed filled him with despair.
He sat by the roadside for a long time, and it wasn't until dawn that he calmed himself down and continued on his way!
Regardless, now that he's back, he needs to reunite with Tang San, inform him of the destruction of Seagod Island, and discuss their next steps. (End of Chapter)
