Chapter 328 Take over the City Defense

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

Outside Guancheng, there are two circular fortresses with a diameter of about 100 zhang.

Like two fangs standing outside, making it impossible for the enemy to directly attack the main city.

If they attacked Wucheng Pass directly, the enemy would be attacked from three sides. Of course, the Song Kingdom would not be stupid enough to attack the main city of Wucheng Pass.

But Wuchengguan is not a natural danger, and the mountains on both sides of the main city are full of loopholes.

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

In this case, it is impossible to arrange a large formation to cover the entire place where Wu Chengguan is located.

Only small formations can be arranged to protect each section of the small mountain range, which is why it is difficult to defend here.

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

Building a fortress requires more people to garrison, and the cost of defense is high.

The width of these mountains is also very small, the widest point is less than ten miles, and the highest peak is only a few hundred feet.

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

In the past ten years, Song Guo has not attacked the main city of Wuchengguan, but has been attacking these fortresses.

In the siege battle in the Xiuxian world, there are also sneak attack tactics in which monks above the foundation level directly fly over dangerous barriers and break 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 also come up with countermeasures, that is, to fortify the wall and clear the field, and arrange a large formation behind the dangerous pass, and send experts to sit in the town.

The enemy flew over the dangerous barrier and reached the rear.

Relying on the great formation, our side fought a war of attrition with the enemy.

Do not confront the enemy head-on, and constantly send out masters to attack and kill the enemy's middle and low-level monks, and hold the enemy back.

When the enemy high-ranking cultivator made a move, he immediately returned to the great formation.

It is not much different from attacking the dangers directly.

As a result, the enemy is so exhausted that there is not even a safe place to rest.

On the other hand, the enemy is waiting for work, and after a period of time, the enemy can only withdraw.

The enemy is chasing and killing, and the deeper the enemy advances, the more difficult it will be to evacuate.

The cultivators stationed at the dangerous pass intercepted again, and it was easy to wipe out all the incoming enemies.

In the case that the strength is not absolutely dominant, the tactics of flying over dangerous barriers and going deep behind enemy lines, whoever uses it will die.

The number of Jindan cultivators in the Song country is not as good as that in the Zhao country, and the number of Zifu and Foundation Establishment is even worse.

Therefore, the cultivators of the Song country did not dare to cross this thousand-mile low mountain, and could only continue to storm the fortress.

If you can capture a fort, you can cross the low mountain to outflank Wuchengguan, and you will not be afraid of being copied.

The more than ten large flying boats of the Nether 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 a lot of families in the Netherworld Sect, with a total of 300 families. This time, there are more than 400 foundation-building cultivators and more than 5,000 qi training cultivators.

In addition to some cultivators from this sect, there are more than 600 foundation-building cultivators, more than 7,000 Qi cultivators, 20 Zifu cultivators, and one Jindan cultivator. This scale is enough to destroy the general Jindan forces.

A Jindan cultivator also came out of Wucheng Pass, and five Zifu cultivators came to receive him.

The real person of Minghai took the ancient temple master and several other monks from the Zifu of the Netherworld to follow the monks of Wanlingzong into Wucheng Pass, while the others continued to wait outside.

Two hours later, more than a dozen cultivators from the Purple Mansion came out, and they dispersed with the cultivators who practiced Qi and foundation building.

Wang Daoyuan and other families in the northern part of Qingli County, a total of more than 400 qi cultivators and more than 30 foundation-building cultivators,

taken to a fort.

It is said to be a fortress, but it is actually a small city.

To the east of the main city of Wucheng Pass, there are a total of seven fortresses, and the fortress Wang Daoyuan and others came to is the third one from the east.

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

Therefore, the main attack direction of the Song country's side has always been in the east and west, because it is far from the main city, there is a chance to make a successful sneak attack.

Other fortresses suffered much less attacks. After all, they were close to the main city, and the support here was faster.

Dongsan Fortress, where Wang Daoyuan is located, has not encountered a single tentative attack in a few days.

After all, they came to support them. If Myriad Spirit Sect placed them in the most dangerous place, they would be afraid that they would give up.

Wanlingzong Zifu cultivator brought Wang Daoyuan and others into Dongsan Castle, and there were many cultivators stationed inside.

Zifu cultivator shouted: "Leave a hundred qi training cultivators to help control the magic weapon of the city, and the rest of the cultivators are evacuated. This fortress is handed over to the cultivators who came to support it from the Nether Sect."

Soon, a cultivator in the early period of Zifu came down from the city wall and said with a smile: "Thank you to the fellow Daoist of the Nether Sect for coming to support, please send someone to the city wall to hand over to us."

Wang Daoyuan took people to the city wall, and the monks of each family and the monks of Wanlingzong handed over each section of the city wall.

The side of the entire fort facing the enemy is only 30 feet long, and two hundred people can guard it well, and there are still shifts.

It is the thirty-foot-long city wall on which thirty second-order high-grade demon-killing crossbows and three third-order low-grade demon-killing crossbows are arranged.

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

However, it has excellent effects against the large instruments used by the enemy to siege cities, including flying warships.

Wang Daoyuan replaced the Wanlingzong guardian monk with two hundred family monks.

One hundred Wanlingzong monks who controlled bows and crossbows continued to stay on the city wall.

After the defense of the city wall was completed, the Zifu cultivators who were guarding the city took them to the warehouse in the city, where there were more than 100 spare demon-slayer crossbows.

The last is to inspect the formation, and the formation used in this castle is also the Golden Demon Soul Formation.

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

This Golden Evil Soul Formation adopts the flow of magic tools, and there are a total of 12 formation eyes, of which nine formation eyes are suppressed with second-order high-grade magic tools, and three formation eyes are suppressed with third-order low-grade magic tools.

Naturally, these instruments are all metallic, mainly flying swords, as well as darts, needles and other instruments of Yin people.

Each of the second-order high-grade and third-grade low-grade instruments has a metal shield to defend against enemy attacks.

After all, the Jinsha Soulless Array is only an offensive formation, and has no defensive effect, so it can only be compensated by magic weapons.

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

It doesn't matter to Wang Daoyuan, they are here to defend the city, not to seize power.

Wanlingzong wants to keep it, so naturally, they can save two foundation-building personnel.

After everything was handed over, the Zifu cultivator who had been stationed here withdrew from the fortress with more than 200 people.

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

Although he has no experience in defending the city, he has read a lot of military books in his previous life, and he still understands the basic layout.

The most important formations and the Demon Slayer Crossbow have been arranged, so he doesn't need to worry about it, all he has to do is arrange the manpower he brought.

He ordered all the qi training monks who were good at long-range attack to come out. Immortal cultivators paid more attention to long-distance attack, so there were quite a few monks who were good at long-distance attack, there were about 100 people in total.

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

All the work of defending the city is left to the monks who are not good at attacking from a distance. Those who are good at attacking from a distance are used as mobile troops, and they can support where they are struggling.

More than 300 qi cultivators who were not good at long-range attacks, 200 were placed on the southern city wall, and the others were placed on the northern city wall.

The monks on the northern city wall are completely the reserve team, unless someone copies them from the back, they will not be used at all.

There are cliffs on both sides of the east and west, and there are third-order formations guarding the mountain, so he doesn't care at all.
