Chapter 2572 It’s Dawn

No matter how long the night is, dawn will always come.

At dawn, the thick fog dissipated from Yingzui Cliff, and when the morning glow shone into the valley for the first time in several days, the soldiers from heaven and earth stopped fighting.

The darkness covered their eyes, allowing them to only see the enemy in front of them and not the road under their feet.

Now the sun broke through the darkness and illuminated the land. Both parties seemed to have woken up from sleepwalking, only to realize that they were in a different place.

From Queguan to Yingbelly Mountain, from Yingzui Cliff to Wangfu Ridge and Duoshi Peak, the topography has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days.

The blood really gathered into rivers, and the corpses really piled up into mountains.

The situation in the wasteland was not bad, after all, the battlefield was vast. In the 20-mile-long canyon of the inner defense line of Eagle Beak Cliff, it looked extremely tragic.

Mountains of corpses lay across the land where corpses were piled thickly. Every raised mountain of corpses was filled with warriors from the human and heavenly realms.

The sun shines on the cheeks of these soldiers, and the swords in their hands flash with cold blood. There is only death here, no life.

Qu Datou had completed his mission. He had killed the 6,000 Skyfire Beasts an hour ago. The giants and madman troops brought up from behind by the enemy were forced back northward along the canyon.

At this moment, Qu Datou was standing on a mountain of corpses to the north of the third line of defense. On the top of the high mountain of corpses were more than thirty shirtless militia soldiers with black skin and dark cheeks.

In front of them, at their feet, was the corpse of a giant warrior who had just been minced into mincemeat. In front of them were four giant warriors holding large shields, seeming to be attacking the mountain of corpses.

The bright sunshine caused both parties to stop moving in unison, and then raised their heads to look at the eastern sky.

Zhan Ying stood on a hill on the eastern flank of Eagle Belly Mountain. There was a small gap at his feet, through which a steady stream of militia troops entered the battlefield.

After nearly three hours of bloody fighting, most of the main force of the million-strong militiamen on the Eastern Front had been lost. Seventy-three teams of one hundred and seventy-seven thousand people had rushed into the canyon, and only thirty-four were left outside the gap. A team of ten thousand people.

At dawn, the fog cleared, and Zhan Ying could roughly see the battle at the Yingzui Cliff defense line.

When he received the report of the frontline battle coming from Zhao Shiqu, he let out a long breath.

Heaven lost.

In the wasteland battle, the human cavalry crushed the enemy's army of destruction in the thick fog and compressed the enemy's main force into the Eagle's Mouth Cliff defense line. The six-winged legion that Gu Yuqi mobilized yesterday to attract the World Sky Riders, after a night of fighting, although the Southern Xinjiang Dragon Riders and the Sky Bat Tribe, Ying Men Tribe, and Griffin Tribe paid a heavy price, in the end these 50,000 The remnants of the Six-Winged Legion,

They were strangled to death eighty miles south of Eagle Beak Cliff.

This battle has reached the sixth day. The enemy's more than 500,000-strong Storm Legion has been annihilated, the 180,000 Six-Wing Legion has been annihilated, and the 180,000 Destruction Legion has escaped control.

Now the enemy's available troops are only more than 300,000 madman legions, more than 200,000 skeleton legions, and more than 300,000 giant legions.

The main force of the Madman Legion has been transferred into the corridor by Gu Yuqi, trying to break the deadlock through the corridor.

Zhan Ying was not optimistic about Gu Yuqi's tactic. There is no shortage of strategists in the world. Although no news came, Zhan Ying already guessed when he learned that the Baishan clan leader led 200,000 Skybat clan members to fly to the military medical camp in the rear. Zhao Shiqu must use poisonous smoke to deal with the tunnel. The madman army within

Main force.

There are human cavalry in the south to seal the seal, and there are human infantry in the north fighting to the death. This twenty-mile canyon will be the burial ground of the enemy.

Gu Yuqi stood at the highest point of the Yingzui Cliff defense line, looking at the tragic battlefield below with a sad look on his face.

He has participated in several human catastrophes, and such a tragic battle situation is rare among the countless catastrophic battles he has experienced in the past.

The only ones that can be compared are the Battle of Motian Cliff, the Battle of Wuming Pass and the decisive battle of Kunlun Mountain six thousand years ago.

All the Skyfire Beasts in the canyon had burned and exploded. The Skyfire Beasts in the wasteland had been washed away last night. Now Gu Yuqi only had two roads.

One is to break out of the human defense circle through the discovered mountain tunnel.

The second is a hard frontal attack to break through the enemy's Yingbelly Mountain defense line.

He knew that he was defeated, but he definitely didn't want to bear the reputation of having his entire army wiped out. No matter what, he would lead a group of defeated soldiers and rush out of this damn place.

He has received news that the Six Celestial Tribes were defeated in the battle at Qixing Mountain and retreated to southern Xinjiang. Now he no longer expects to win this battle. He just wants to escape here with hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of defeated soldiers.

As for surrender, he never thought about it.

The glory and pride of heavenly beings would never allow him to have the thought of surrender.

At dawn, Gu Yuqi said to the men beside him: "Stop the attack in the canyon and bring up the giant army."

The fighting in the canyon suddenly stopped, and only the brutal fighting was still taking place in the corridor.

The fire had been extinguished, and Zhao Shiqu stood at the highest point of Eagle Belly Mountain again, with the flag representing the coach flying once again.

When the heavenly army retreated to the third line of defense, the drums on the human side also started ringing.

Zhao Shiqu held the sound transmission stone tightly and said hoarsely: "General Qu, the war between you and the soldiers is over. Quickly withdraw from the battlefield. The main army will take over next." Then, he began to issue orders: "Twenty-seventh , the twenty-eight attack echelon, immediately enter the battlefield, take over the front line of defense, and the follow-up attack echelon moves south. I, Zhao Shiqu, am sitting at the highest point of Yingbelly Mountain, watching you kill the enemy.

At my feet! "After hearing Zhao Shiqu's order, Zhan Ying stopped dispatching militiamen into the canyon. The gap occupied by the militiamen was quickly taken over by the forwards of the 27th attack echelon who came from Fist Mountain behind, armed to the teeth. regular

The main force marched into the valley along the gap with neat steps.

After entering the canyon, these regular troops began to clean the battlefield and smoothen the corpses in the valley.

At this time yesterday, there were only two to three feet high corpses pushed in the valley. Now the corpses have been piled up to four feet high. It is foreseeable that the corpses will continue to pile up, maybe even higher than the Eagle Belly Mountain to the north. high.

After this war is over, it will probably take a long time just to clean up the millions of corpses in the valley.

Human corpses are relatively easy to clean up. It is not that difficult to clean out the corpses of tall giant warriors.

However, Zhan Ying felt that it was no longer necessary to clean up the corpses here. This battle was a one-and-done deal. In the future battle between heaven and man, heaven would no longer be able to only attack a few points like it is now.

After learning from the experience of this failure, future reinforcements from the heavenly realm will definitely avoid those heavily defended passes in the human world and attack multiple gathering points in the Middle Earth. Even if the next time the Gate of Catastrophe appears in the heart of Middle-earth, it is not impossible for Middle-earth to have a central flower.
