Chapter 328: Take over the city defense

Wucheng Pass is quite majestic, with its walls tens of feet high.

Outside Guancheng, there are two circular forts with a diameter of about one hundred meters.

Like two fangs standing outside, the enemy could not directly attack the main city.

If it were to attack Wucheng Pass directly, the enemy would be attacked on three sides. Of course Song Guo would not be stupid enough to attack the main city of Wucheng Pass.

But Wucheng Pass is not a natural danger. The mountains on both sides of the main city are full of loopholes.

These mountains are not connected as a whole, but separated by more than a dozen canyons, and even the spiritual veins are intermittent.

Under this circumstance, it is impossible to arrange a large formation to cover the entire place where Wucheng Pass is located.

Only small formations can be arranged to protect each section of the small mountains separately, which is why it is difficult to defend this place.

There are inevitably gaps between these small formations. To fill these gaps, additional fortresses need to be built.

Building fortresses requires more people to garrison, and defense costs are high.

The width of these mountains is also very small, the widest point is less than ten miles, and the highest mountain is no more than a few hundred meters.

To the south is the plain, and the enemy can easily launch an offensive.

Over the past ten years, Song State has not gone to fight the main city of Wucheng Pass, but is attacking these fortresses.

In the siege battle of the Xiuxian Realm, there were also sneak attacks in which the monks above the foundation flew directly over the dangerous barriers and broke into the enemy's rear.

When the countries were fighting for hegemony, such tactics were not uncommon.

But after a long time, various countries have come up with countermeasures, which is to build a strong wall and clear the country, arrange a large formation behind the danger, and send a master to sit on the ground.

The enemy flew over the dangerous barrier, after arriving at the rear.

Relying on the big formation, one's own side fights a war of attrition with the enemy.

Instead of head-to-head with the enemy, he kept sending masters to attack and kill the enemy's low- and medium-level monks, dragging the enemy.

The enemy high-ranking cultivator shot, and immediately returned to the big formation.

It is not worth the loss of the strong attack, and it is not much different from directly attacking the danger.

In this way, the enemy is exhausted, and there is no safe place to rest.

On the other hand, the enemy waits for work at ease, and after a period of time, the enemy can only evacuate.

If the enemy is chasing after the tail, the deeper the enemy advances, the more difficult it will be to evacuate.

Once the cultivator stationed at the dangerous barrier intercepts it again, it is easy to wipe out the incoming enemy.

The tactics of flying over dangerous barriers and deep behind enemy lines without an absolute advantage in strength will kill whoever uses it.

The number of Golden Core monks in Song Kingdom is not as good as that in Zhao Kingdom, and the number of Purple Mansion and Foundation Building is even worse.

Therefore, the monks of Song Kingdom did not dare to cross this thousand-mile short mountain, and could only continue to attack the fortress.

If you can capture a fortress, you will be able to cross the low mountain and outflank Wucheng Pass without fear of being copied.

More than ten large flying boats of the Netherworld Sect finally landed north of the main city of Wucheng Pass.

The monks on the flying boat stepped down one by one and lined up on the ground.

There are many families in the Netherworld sect, with a total of three hundred families. There are more than 400 foundation building monks and more than 5,000 Qi training monks.

In addition to some monks of this sect, there are more than 600 foundation-building monks, more than 7,000 qi training monks, 20 purple mansion monks, and one golden core monk. This scale is large enough to destroy ordinary golden core forces.

A Jindan monk came out from Wucheng Pass, and five Zifu monks came to receive it.

Master Minghai took the ancient palace master and several cultivators from the Purple Mansion of the Netherworld Sect, followed the cultivator of the Wanling Sect into Wucheng Pass, while the others continued to wait outside.

Two hours later, more than a dozen cultivators of the Purple Mansion came out, and the cultivators of Qi training and foundation building were scattered.

Wang Daoyuan and other families in the northern part of Qingli County, a total of more than 400 Qi practicing monks and more than 30 foundation building monks, were taken to a fortress.

Said it is a fortress, it actually forms a small city.

There are seven forts in the east of the main city of Wucheng Pass. The fortress Wang Daoyuan and others came to was the third from the east.

Because the main force of the Wanlingzong side is located in the main city of Wuchengguan, it is convenient to support the fortresses at any time.

Therefore, the main direction of the Song State party has always been the east and west, because it is far from the main city, there is a chance for a successful sneak attack.

Other fortresses withstand much less attacks, after all, they are close to the main city, and support here is faster.

The Dongsan Fortress where Wang Daoyuan was located, did not encounter a test attack in a few days.

After all, they came to support, if the Wan Lingzong placed them in the most dangerous place, I was really afraid that they would choose not to do it.

The cultivator of the Purple Mansion of the Wanling Sect led Wang Daoyuan and others into the East Third Castle, but there were quite a few cultivators garrisoned inside.

The cultivator of the Purple Mansion shouted: "Leave a hundred qi training cultivators to help control the magic weapon of the city. The rest of the cultivators are all evacuated, and this fortress is garrisoned by the cultivators supported by the Netherworld Sect."

Soon, an early cultivator of the Purple Mansion came down from the city wall and said with a smile: "Thank you for your support from the Daoists of the Netherworld Sect. Please send someone to the city wall to hand over with us."

Wang Daoyuan took people up the city wall, and the monks of each family and the monks of Wan Lingzong handed over each section of the city wall.

The entire fortress facing the enemy is only thirty feet long, and two hundred people can guard it, and there are still shifts.

This is the thirty-foot-long city wall, on which thirty second-tier high-grade demonic crossbows and three third-tier low-grade demonic crossbows are arranged.

These demon-killing crossbows have a low success rate against the flying monks.

But it has excellent effects against large magical weapons used by the enemy to siege cities, including flying warships.

Wang Daoyuan replaced the Ten Thousand Spirit Sect guardian monks with two hundred family monks.

One hundred cultivators of the Wan Lingzong who controlled bows and crossbows continued to stay on the city wall.

After the city wall was replaced, the cultivator of the Purple Mansion who was guarding the city led them to look at the warehouse in the city, where there were more than one hundred spare demon-killing crossbows.

The last is to inspect the formation, the formation used by this castle is also the Golden Shade Soul Formation.

However, this formation is not a simple second-order high-grade formation, but a lot of improvements have been made.

This Jinsha Absolute Soul Formation uses magic weapon flow, a total of twelve array eyes, nine of which are suppressed by second-order high-grade magical weapons, and three are suppressed by third-order lower-grade magical weapons.

Naturally, these artifacts are also metallic, mainly flying swords, as well as darts, pin needles and other female artifacts.

Each of the second-tier high-grade and third-tier low-grade artifacts has a metallic shield, which is used to defend against enemy attacks.

After all, the Jinsha Absolute Soul Formation is only an offensive formation, and it has no defensive effect.

This formation is extremely important, Wan Lingzong is unwilling to let Wang Daoyuan and others take over, and sends two foundation-building cultivators to continue guarding here.

Wang Daoyuan didn't care, they came to defend the city, not to seize power.

The Wanlingzong wanted to guard, so naturally it would do what they wanted, and he could save two manpower for foundation building.

After all the handovers were completed, the Purple Mansion monk who had been stationed here led more than two hundred people to withdraw from the fortress.

Wang Daoyuan successfully took over the city defense and became the supreme commander of this fortress.

Although I don't have experience in defending the city, I haven't read military books in my previous life, and I still understand the basic layout.

The most important formations and Demon Slaying Crossbow have been set up, and he doesn't need to worry about it. All he has to do is to arrange the manpower he brought.

He ordered all the Qi-training monks who are good at remote attack to go out. The cultivators pay more attention to remote attack, so there are not many monks who are good at remote attack, there are about 100 people in total.

Almost all of these people are proficient in one or several long-range attack spells, and have strong attack capabilities, but defending the city is too wasteful.

The work of defending the city is all left to monks who are not good at long-range attacks, and those who are good at long-range attacks are used as mobile forces, where they can support wherever they are struggling.

There are more than three hundred qi training monks who are not good at long-range attacks. Two hundred are placed on the south wall, and the others are placed on the north wall.

The monks on the northern city wall were completely reserve teams, unless someone copied them from the back, they wouldn't be used at all.

There are cliffs on both sides of the east and west, and the mountains are guarded by the third-order formation, so he doesn't care about it at all.
