Chapter 1538 Final Battle (XI)
Since the strategy of breaking through the tiger's mouth was set, the whole thing was quickly arranged and entered the execution level.
After all, Shi Tian and the others knew very well that their side was now in a strong momentum and sharp edge. If they dragged on in this tiger's mouth for a long time, the momentum would probably decline, which was not a good thing. What's more, they didn't want to give the Soul Devouring Realm too much time to send reinforcements to the tiger's mouth, nor did they think that the tiger's mouth was a suitable place to set up camp.
So less than three hours later, Xuanwu, Hu Zi, Zhang Tao, Donghuang Yu'er, Jiu Meng, etc., a total of the ten masters under Huan Yin, united and led 30,000 people to the tiger's mouth with great momentum. With powerful formations and although few but powerful equipment, they once again charged towards the hilltop of the tiger's mouth.
The cultivation of masters at Xuanwu's level is really amazing. Even if you look at the three realms, they are definitely masters among masters. In fact, there are not many people who can fight with them. And it is hard to find a troop that can resist the combination of ten such masters, plus the powerful 30,000 elites, superior formations and equipment, and the combat strategy set by Shi Tian himself.
The biggest flaw in the dispatch of troops this time is the number of people. Thirty thousand people are indeed a little less, but the tiger's mouth is too small, and sending more may not work, but squeeze and drag each other, becoming a burden. This number is also the total number of people most suitable for fighting in the tiger's mouth after discussion.
I think the result of this battle should be revealed soon. After all, Huanyin's side is so well prepared and the plan is so thorough.
This is indeed the case. The battle lasted less than an hour, and the result appeared. It's just that Xuanwu and his team were defeated and lost!
This result is really too unexpected. Even if the people on Huanyin's side thought that they might not be able to win in one battle, they didn't expect that such a strong army could not even survive an hour in the tiger's mouth, and retreated in embarrassment.
Everyone understood more and more deeply why Jiang and his Hell Army suffered such heavy casualties at the Tiger's Mouth, and even Jiang died there. Although Xuanwu and his team retreated in just one hour, it had a lot to do with their choice to withdraw voluntarily, and their actual losses were not great. However, the fact that such an elite force decided to retreat shortly after the battle was enough to show how terrible the monsters from the Soul Devouring Realm who were in charge of the Tiger's Mouth were.
From this moment on, everyone finally realized that the small pass of the Tiger's Mouth was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and the Soul Devouring Realm was ready to seize this point and make a big fuss.
The defeated Xuanwu and his team quickly counted the number of people, and finally determined that they had lost 898 people in the Tiger's Mouth in less than an hour. This number is naturally nothing for a total of 30,000 people, but it is very scary in such a short time and in the case of active retreat. What's more, the equipment brought by Xuanwu and his team was also destroyed.
Xuanwu and his team described to everyone in detail how terrifying the Soul Devouring World monster in the tiger's mouth of the hand was.
It turned out that there were still a large number of Soul Devouring World monsters lurking near the dense forest. The weakest monsters in human form were everywhere, and there were also many giant monsters. Of course, in addition to monsters, they also had many hidden means, which made people unable to defend themselves. However, the most troublesome thing, and the one-eyed man and the giant monster on the top of the mountain, was the most troublesome and the one-eyed man who finally made Xuanwu and his team choose to withdraw.
The top of the mountain was full of one-eyed men, emitting green light from a high position, which made people unable to defend themselves. As long as someone from Xuanwu's side entered the valley and tried to break through, they would directly become the target of those one-eyed men. Everyone knew how powerful that one-eyed man was. Once hit by the green light, there would be no good end.
With the one-eyed man, Xuanwu and his team naturally wanted to try to remove the one-eyed man and level the mountain, so that they could successfully break through. However, the giants next to the one-eyed man were not vegetarians. They were extremely powerful and could not be compared with the monsters ambushing around the dense forest. Not to mention how difficult it was to rush up the mountain under the pressure of the one-eyed man and the entanglement of the monsters around him. Even if he rushed up, he had to ask the giants on the mountain whether they agreed. Xuanwu personally fought with those giants and found that it was not easy for him to defeat them. Especially the leader, although he never made a move, Xuanwu obviously felt a strong pressure from him. Xuanwu could assert that he was not the opponent of that giant!
Fortunately, this charge was not completely meaningless. Although they lost their prestige and momentum, Xuanwu and his men also learned more about the situation in the valley and had a deeper grasp of it. These experiences were enough for them to learn lessons and provide great help for the next charge.
Yes, the next charge was inevitable. If it didn't work the next time, there would be the next time, and the next time. Because breaking through the tiger's mouth and stepping into the south of the city, clearing the monsters of the Soul Devouring World was the goal of this battle. If we stop, wouldn't it be tantamount to acknowledging that half of Shanxiantian was occupied by the monsters of the Soul Devouring World?
In this way, after more careful planning and arrangements, Xuanwu and his men slowly brought more elite forces and launched another attack on the tiger's mouth.
However, the second charge soon failed. So there really was a third and fourth charge.
Unconsciously, Huan Yin's army had spent a whole day in the small place of Hukou. During this day, the elite soldiers launched four attacks on Hukou, all of which ended in failure. Although the fourth time, a marshal disregarded his safety and personally joined the battle to strengthen the power of the attack, and even once really rushed over the hill. But in the end, because of the sudden emergence of new forces on the side of the Devouring Spirit Realm, the attack failed again.
After four attacks, Huan Yin's army lost a total of about 10,000 soldiers in one day, and all the losses were elite. Among them, Lao Xuanwu was seriously injured because of the fierce attack, and he could no longer go to the front line to kill the enemy for the time being.
For a while, among Huan Yin's troops, even though the military discipline was strict, there were voices of discussion among the soldiers. These discussions were naturally not good words. Although the generals tried their best to suppress this situation, they also knew that some things could not be completely solved by force.
Obviously, because the four consecutive charges all failed, the army's morale was somewhat unstable, and the momentum was even weaker than before. So Donghuang Yuer and Xuanwu also knew that if they could not succeed in one more charge, the whole army would be in big trouble.
What's worse is that the new force of the Soul Devouring Realm that appeared on the top of the mountain during the fourth charge also showed that the Soul Devouring Realm was responding at the same time. Therefore, if the fifth charge still fails to take the tiger's mouth, Huanyin's people will be unstable and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, while the Soul Devouring Realm will have a stronger force stationed at the tiger's mouth. The tiger's mouth may become a natural chasm in front of the large army, so that Huanyin's troops can no longer cross it. Not to mention that the rescue of the heaven has failed, but the hope of the final victory will become increasingly slim.
The fifth charge is the last one. This charge cannot fail, and failure is not allowed. It can only succeed!
This last time, Huanyin's side can be said to have given it all. As for the strong, even Shi Tian, the chief think tank, Yue Fengyun and Tong Dong, the marshals who should be responsible for deploying troops, all joined the battle, just to make the last impact burst out with stronger power.
In terms of equipment, this time Hong Baineng finally decided to take the Black Bamboo Forest to fight. In a place that cannot accommodate too many equipment, only he can take the Black Bamboo Forest to provide the greatest support for his side in a limited space.
As for the formation and the warriors, they were not hidden this time. 30,000 elite soldiers of Huanyin walked into the tiger's mouth with the infinite sword formation, commanded by Tong Dong himself, just to fight to decide the outcome!
In the absence of Huanyin, the 30,000 soldiers who walked into the tiger's mouth for the fifth time can be said to be the strongest force under Huanyin. The impact they can exert can be said to be rare in the Three Realms and hard to meet opponents. Moreover, they are all ready to sacrifice, even Donghuang Yuer, the imperial concubine, has the determination to fight to the death. Because they know the importance of this attack, this time, they must take the advantage at all costs!
