Chapter 5709 Night attack on Chengtian Cliff

Time passed like this little by little in the undercurrent.

After Tianjie occupied the Piaomiao Peak of the Tianshan Mountains, it seemed that it had no intention of getting involved in the Kunlun Mountains.

The dove occupied the magpie's nest and began to live a comfortable life at the Piaomiao Pavilion ruins.

Nangong Bat led 100,000 goddesses and angrily attacked Yizhou Island, but failed. Apart from mortals, there were almost no cultivators on the island.

Ever since, Nangong Bat also settled on Yizhou Island.

The island was very large. Because many dignitaries from China moved their families here to avoid the catastrophe, Yizhou Island gradually prospered.

There are all kinds of commodities and materials from the Middle-earth. The key is that the climate is pleasant, which is much more comfortable than breathing the miasma in the Dead Swamp all day long.

As for Ye Xiaochuan, Yun Qiyou, and Li Ziye, more than a month has passed and there is still no news.

July is here in a blink of an eye.

In a huge tent east of Longmen, Phantom looked at the documents in his hand and frowned.

What she worried about most happened.

Insufficient supplies.

The millions of troops in the heaven consume an astronomical amount of food every day.

Especially the six-legged beast riders of the Storm Legion, which are not grass eaters, but meat eaters.

It has been nearly two months since the Yinshan Gate of Time and Space was closed.

At this moment, the food and fodder for the West Route Army in Heaven can last for at most two months.

The heavenly armies at Niangziguan and Shanhaiguan were very short of food and grass.

It can last up to a month.

Although efforts are being made to open up the time and space channel, the huge time difference between the human world and the heaven is a fatal weakness.

According to the current progress, it will take at least half a year to reopen the door to time and space.

But the heavenly army cannot wait so long.

It's almost August now, and the northern and middle armies are about to face the coldest winter on earth.

If there are not enough supplies, a cold winter will reduce the number of the heavenly army by one-third.

Phantom stood on the combat map and thought for a long time, and finally set his sights on Niangziguan.

Yumen Pass is impregnable, and there is that terrible guy Zhan Ying outside Shan Pass.

Niangziguan is the only breakthrough that can help the world break through.

Suddenly, an almost frighteningly beautiful person with pale skin appeared.

The woman walked into the camp.

It turned out to be Princess Jiuque, who was mentally a little abnormal.

As soon as she entered Phantom's tent, she was not polite and directly grabbed a big apple on the table, wiped it on her clothes, and opened her mouth to gnaw on it.

Phantom looked at the familiar Princess Beidi.

Said: "Sister Jiuque, why are you here?"

Fairy Jiuque said while eating: "I can't do it if I don't come. An Wenxiu asked you to dispatch food and supplies, but you refused.

He had to beg me to come over and see what was going on.

I said Phantom, there are still millions of sergeants in Niangziguan, and they have less than a month of food and grass. You should quickly allocate food and grass to them and transport it there. "

Phantom hummed, "I want to too, but there's nothing I can do."

Princess Jiuque was stunned and said: "Why, there is no food? No way, a few months ago I saw that the food on the other side of Yinshan Mountain was still piled up like a mountain."

Phantom said: "Do you know how much food the eight to nine million Celestial Legions need to eat every day? In the past, a large amount of food and grass materials were continuously transported in from the Celestial Realm every day, which can naturally supply all armies.

Now the gate of time and space has been closed for nearly two months. Every day, there is no food left. "

Jiuque said: "Then what should we do now? We can't just watch Tianjie's son starve to death."

The phantom finger pointed at the Niangzi Pass.

He said: "Now there is only one way, and that is for An Wenxiu's troops to break through Niangzi Pass.

The Central Plains has just completed its autumn harvest this year and has sufficient food reserves. A lot of food has not had time to be transported out. As long as we break through Niangzi Pass, we can intercept enough food and grass for our millions of troops in the heaven to survive the winter.

The corpses of human soldiers and war horses can also serve as rations for the Storm Legion. "

Princess Jiuque saw the phantom with a serious expression, she was not joking.

She said: "Now the Legion of Destruction in An Wenxiu's hands has almost been lost.

Xu Kai stuck to Chengtian Cliff, where there was a line of gorges fifteen miles long, and the terrain was extremely dangerous.

Without the help of the Legion of Destruction, even if An Wenxiu could break through the Chengtian Cliff defense line, he would probably suffer heavy losses. "

Phantom said: "I know, but there is no other way

method. And the speed must be fast. If it drags on for another month or two, most of the soldiers in the heaven will starve to death, let alone the Chengtian Cliff. "

In fact, Phantom is still optimistic about the war at Niangzi Pass.

After Xu Kai lost the second line of defense, he already knew that Niangziguan could not be defended.

Now the reserves at the back, the militiamen in the garrison, and food supplies have all been withdrawn towards Luoyang.

Once the battle at Chengtian Cliff begins, Xu Kai will not have sufficient sources of troops to replenish it.

Moreover, Tianjie has also been actively building new war weapons for the past six months.

The Vajra Umbrella can effectively resolve the arrow array in the human world, which can greatly reduce the casualties of the heavenly soldiers.

That afternoon, An Wenxiu received the order for phantom operations.

An Wenxiu looked at the order "The defense line of Chengtian Cliff must be taken down within half a month, otherwise military law will be dealt with", his expression was very ugly.

He knew that if he could not capture Chengtian Cliff in half a month, all the millions of troops in his hands would starve to death here without the need for military action.

After looking at the night, An Wenxiu sighed.

Then he sent an order to launch an attack on the Chengtianya defense line before dawn today.

The darkest hour is before dawn.

The defense lines on both sides were brightly lit.

In the middle of the defense line three hundred feet apart is a relatively flat and wide open area.

More than a month ago, sergeants from both sides fought desperately here.

After many days of silence, the weeds grew again.

Xu Kai's youngest son, Xu Long, wearing black armor and holding a silver gun, was patrolling the defense line.

At this moment, all the human soldiers on the battlefield looked listless.

The truce for more than a month made them all seem very relaxed.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, the soldiers began to yawn.

No one noticed that in the darkness, densely packed skeleton warriors were lying on the ground and crawling forward.

The skeleton warriors at the front have actually touched the bottom of the first line of defense of Chengtian Cliff.

Xu Long's right eyelid kept twitching.

I always feel like something is happening tonight.

Standing on the defensive line of the position and looking to the north, you can clearly see the heavenly soldiers patrolling under the firelight three hundred feet away.

figure.

Everything is peaceful.

An almost eerie calm.

Xu Long, who had been fighting with his father for many years, realized that the calm tonight was abnormal.

Because, he didn't even hear the low sound of night bugs.

His heart tightened and he realized something was wrong.

He immediately grabbed a torch next to him and threw it towards the bottom of the defense line.

The first thing that caught his eye was a terrifying skull.

At this moment, the skeleton soldier had silently climbed to the position.

The torch flew over its head.

Xu Long saw the skeleton soldier holding an old weapon in his mouth, and the skeleton soldier also saw him.

The two sides looked at each other and seemed stunned.

The torch turned into a bright parabola and landed in the canyon under the defense line.

You can see skeleton soldiers crawling slowly everywhere, like endless black tides hidden in the darkness.

Xu Long was the first to react.

The silver spear had a slightly colder glow, and it shot out like a dragon, directly piercing the skull soldier's head.

At the same time, he hissed: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The harsh sound resounded through the Chengtianya defense line without any warning.

After a few breaths, the thumping of war drums suddenly sounded.

At this time, hundreds of skeleton soldiers had jumped onto the position.

The human soldiers were caught off guard, and some were stabbed through their bodies by the swords in the hands of the skeleton soldiers before they knew what was going on.

Seeing that they had been discovered, the skeleton warriors tore off their disguises, got up one after another, and ran faster.

The shouts of killing, the sound of war drums, and the sound of flying arrows piercing the air resounded throughout the world.

Xu Long led hundreds of soldiers to try to drive down the skeleton warriors who had climbed up.

However, the situation worsened far beyond Xu Long's expectation.

At this moment, more and more skeleton soldiers have rushed to the defense line.

Most of the thousands of soldiers on the first line of defense were lost in less than half a cup of tea.

Xu Long knew that the second position would take time to mobilize troops, and he had to persist.

Therefore, he led the remaining few hundred soldiers and rushed towards the black skeleton army without hesitation.
