Chapter 1189: Initial Arrangement of the Rear Area
At a certain moment, a very shrill scream came from the top of the cliff. So, many monks present couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and saw a man with a full beard and a strange dress, holding a head in his hand. The head was obviously just cut off, so it was still dripping with blood!
"It's General Li, General Li was killed!" Many people holding shovels immediately recognized whose head it was, so they screamed and their faces turned pale in an instant.
However, these screams only appeared for a short time, and were soon drowned by the sudden cheers of the Yan family members floating in the air. The Yan family was extremely excited, looking at the miners holding shovels on the cliff, and the bloodthirstiness in their eyes became stronger and stronger.
The man holding the head was the leader Hu Zi who was in charge of this battlefield. His cultivation was extremely amazing, and there was no opponent in this area. Even General Li, the highest commander of the army sent here by Ku, was still far behind him.
Hu Zi knew that it was necessary to capture the leader first, and he also knew that General Li, as the supreme commander of the entire miners' army, played a particularly important role. If General Li was allowed to exist, even if these miners had no magic weapons, they were well-trained soldiers after all, and there were many of them. Once they cooperated with each other, it would cause great trouble to their side.
So just now, Hu Zi saw an opportunity and went straight to General Li. General Li knew that he could not beat Hu Zi, and he summoned his troops to resist in shock. However, the incident happened too suddenly, they had no magic weapons, and his troops could not be organized at all. So, Hu Zi easily broke through the temporary resistance organized by those scattered soldiers, and finally killed General Li.
Hu Zi had no grudges with General Li, or even with the entire miners' army on this side. Therefore, he persuaded General Li to surrender, just as he had persuaded all the miners to surrender when he led people to suddenly kill before. However, some people are like this, and they don't cry until they see the coffin. Without the baptism of blood, they always don't realize how worrying their situation is.
General Li refused to obey, and Hu Zi stopped talking nonsense and directly cut off his head, causing him to die miserably.
"General Li is dead, and you have no chance of winning. Don't you plan to surrender? My Lord Yan Yang is a senior patrol envoy, acting on behalf of the emperor to remove the big cancer of the Western Eight Days. Surrender to us is surrender to the emperor, and the emperor will certainly forgive those who surrender. But if you don't surrender, it is disobeying the emperor. In this world, even if you escape today, can you escape for the rest of your life? Those who surrender live, and those who resist die!" Hu Zi stood on a high place, and his voice spread in all directions under the operation of his cultivation.
After Hu Zi's voice fell, all the direct descendants of the Yan family also shouted one by one: "Those who surrender live, and those who resist die!"
The voice continued to spread, like a huge sound wave, making all the people holding shovels tremble in their hearts, feeling like a lone boat in the sea, and if they didn't obey, they would be overturned in an instant.
The battle stopped completely for a while. The miners, holding shovels and in a state of embarrassment, looked at the Yan family members who were staring at them in the air, and then looked at each other. Seeing their companions in such a state of embarrassment, their hearts were already cold for a while.
The direct power of the Yan family seemed to be a civilian power, but now that they came into contact, these self-proclaimed powerful soldiers on the cliff realized how difficult the other party was.
From the moment the Yan family came out, the timing chosen by the Yan family was extremely tricky. Not only were the soldiers unprepared, but most of them were focused on mining, and they were caught off guard.
Then, the strength of the Yan family, their powerful magic weapons and formations, were even more frightening. Moreover, under the command of Hu Zi, the Yan family members were interspersed among the miners' troops, making it impossible for them to organize well. Often, they were separated and interrupted just when they wanted to cooperate. In this way, it was more difficult for the miners' troops to fight.
After the previous battle, the situation of the battle was actually very clear. But now, the strongest of the miners was killed directly. Not only did their combat effectiveness decline greatly, but most importantly, without General Li's command, would the troops, which were already difficult to organize, have any hope of being organized in the future? And what is the difference between an unorganized army and an ordinary casual cultivator, and how can they be strong?
Finally, soon, many miners' hands that were originally tightly holding the shovel began to loosen. This shovel was the last straw they chose to save their lives in desperation, and their loosening represented that their resistance had gradually disappeared.
At this time, an old man from the Yan family floating in the air shouted again: "What are you still hesitating about? Our patience is not as good as you think!"
The roar was strong and went straight to the depths of the miners' hearts. Suddenly, some miners threw away the shovels in their hands. But at this time, a man who looked like a general suddenly shouted: "Don't listen to their nonsense, we are the strongest force in the Western Eight Days, and the Marshal will not lose!"
After that, the man rushed straight to the old man who shouted. However, before he could get within a hundred feet of it, a terrifying giant hand suddenly slapped him from the mountain wall. He had already disappeared, and only the scream before death was still echoing.
The miners looked down in horror. There, more than a dozen huge puppets were crawling on the cliff, looking at them coldly. These puppets were machines. They were powerful. The miners had experienced it before. Often, at least dozens of miners would be turned into meat paste after a slap.
The Yan family's equipment is naturally not just this puppet. There is also a huge mechanical centipede floating in the air at this moment, and the mechanical earth dragon that occasionally drills out from the mountain wall can easily take their lives.
"Surrender, I surrender!" Finally, a soldier was completely frightened. After he put down the shovel, he rushed out.
At this time, a soldier saw this and suddenly shot a stream of energy at his vest, wanting to kill the traitor. However, as soon as the energy appeared, a earth dragon suddenly drilled out, not only blocking the energy, but also directly tearing the person who shot into pieces.
"Those who surrender, I guarantee that they will all survive!" Hu Zi spoke from high in the sky.
So, more and more people came out and surrendered to Hu Zi's side. The battle on the edge of the cliff began to develop rapidly towards the end. Of course, there are still very few stubborn people, and for Hu Zi and others, it is just a matter of time.
There is another battlefield in the Western Eight Heavens, which is the six major cities of Lixian'an Heaven, Guya'an Heaven, Xijiancheng Heaven, Geyinyue Heaven, Mandala Heaven and Huanxiyuan Heaven, which are now completely isolated by the powerful array light curtain.
Although the six major cities have been completely disconnected from Shanfeng Heaven and Shanding Heaven, and are no longer affected by Ku, Ku has been the Grand Marshal in the Western Eight Heavens for so many years, and is deeply rooted. How can there be no manpower in these six cities?
Although these manpower have become isolated troops now, they all want to rush out and join the large forces in Shanfeng Heaven and Shanding Heaven. Some even want to incite the people in the city and create chaos.
Therefore, Defaboluo and Yingjue, who were assigned by Huanyin to be in charge of this area, are organizing their own manpower to stabilize the situation on this side.
As for Ying Jue, he naturally mobilized his own forces. On the one hand, he tried his best to find out the hidden military forces, on the other hand, he carried out the assassination mission, and on the other hand, he ensured that the enemy would not have any formations anymore, and his own formations, especially the protective light curtain outside the city, could operate effectively.
As for Defa Polo, on the one hand, he organized his own forces to kill the military forces, and on the other hand, he stood up as the Great Heavenly King of the Western Eight Days to stabilize the people's hearts and let those soldiers who were willing to surrender surrender.
Ying Jue is the pinnacle of intelligence. With him, there will be no problems in the six cities in secret. And Defa Polo, as the Great Heavenly King, has some prestige among the people. In addition, he is a businessman and is good at speaking. It is not difficult for him to stabilize the people's hearts and persuade the soldiers under Ku to surrender.
In this way, coupled with the extremely powerful forces under Ku and Defa Polo, they are more than enough to deal with the remnants in the city, so the battle on this side is also going very smoothly. It may not end faster than the Hu Zi side, but I am afraid it will not take long.
