Chapter 975: Take You Fengguan Lightly
After some discussion, the two finally decided to work together to build a small town first, at least to ensure safety in the rear.
To this end, they took out a total of 500,000 troops and 300,000 to attack the selected targets, while the remaining 200,000 were divided into two to restrain the other two small cities to avoid the defenders from coming out to harass them.
Speaking of which, the two of them are worthy of being veterans for many years. Such a tactic is quite stable. With the advantage of their military strength, they will take every step to directly crush the threat ahead. If an ordinary army encounters this situation, they may really not be able to hold on.
But Xia Fan's army was not an ordinary army after all. Although there were not many soldiers guarding the city, Liu Yulinglong had already made his promise and continuously transported various military supplies.
Since the attack was launched by the army of the Divine Eye Kingdom, Xia Fan's army began to use the crossbow and the God-Destroying Bow to bombard the enemy round by round.
The victory or defeat of a war is often inseparable from money. Except for the limited and extremely special cases of war, which rely on the tenacity of soldiers and generals to complete the impossible victory of winning with few and more and weak and strong, most of the time, the victory of a war is closely related to logistics investment.
For example, under the same strength, both sides of the battle are holding simple weapons on one side, while on the other side are sharp weapons and strong armor on them. It is conceivable who wins and loses.
Although the former cannot be ruled out that the fighting spirit is full of fighting spirit and will not retreat, no matter how high the fighting spirit is, the weapons in his hand cannot hurt the enemy, and the result will be that they can only be killed by the enemy.
As for the moment, in terms of number of people, Xia Fan's army must be at a disadvantage, but they have an advantage that they have a small city reinforced by formations and restrictions to defend, so that the strength of both sides can be barely leveled.
At this time, Xia Fan's army used such a luxurious crossbow and attacked the enemy from a long range, which was naturally equivalent to putting an extra weight on the victory scale. Even if the final victory cannot be decided, it can at least make up for the shortage of people on his side.
At this point, the troops of the two sides were in a stalemate. The army of the Kagemu Kingdom launched dozens of attacks. The most recent one had even rushed to the front of the city and exploded the formations and restrictions outside the small city, but was eventually defeated.
Of course, it was not only the soldiers guarding the city, but also the practitioners such as the Thirteenth Prince. It was precisely because of their participation in the war that the strong men in the Divine Min Kingdom's army were suppressed and the battle would not be completely collapsed.
"So, is there still fighting over there at this moment?" Xia Fan frowned slightly.
"That's right." Liu Yulinglong nodded and said, "Tu Yuanli and Jian Fang are now in a difficult situation. They can't do it without fighting, because during this period I have been sending people to harass and attack the logistics supply line of the Divine Essence Kingdom, so that they have not received new supplies for at least six or seven days."
Liu Yulinglong sneered: "Even if they brought enough food and grass when they sent troops, the two sides confronted each other for so long and fought for so long. Their 600,000 troops ate horses and chewed them. The amount of food and grass consumed every day was ridiculous. There was no new food and grass replenishment in six or seven days. If we don't find a way to restore logistics supplies, even if we don't fight, they will be in chaos."
"How many people are there in Youfeng Pass now?" Xia Fan looked at Youfeng Pass in front of him.
Youfeng Pass was built very tall. With Xia Fan's eyesight, he could see the defenders on the city even if they were far apart. Judging from their mental outlook, they were quite good. Obviously, they have not been troubled by food shortage so far.
"There are about 100,000." Liu Yulinglong said.
"Since that's the case, let's go and kill it now." Xia Fan looked at the sky and said lightly.
"Boss, you are already a powerful master at the Grandmaster realm. If you take action yourself, it will probably cause criticism." Liu Yulinglong hurriedly advised.
"It's okay." Xia Fan smiled slightly and said, "I won't do it myself, just have Dudu."
"Good idea." Liu Yulinglong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he applauded.
Then Xia Fan sacrificed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, summoned Dudu out, and ordered her to take her soul bodies to attack Youfeng Pass.
"Please help us with your help, Young Master." Dudu thought for a while, and said to Xia Fan.
"Okay." Xia Fan agreed with a smile.
Previously, Xia Fan defeated Yu Cangkong in the secret realm and obtained some good quality bones, and then refined some ten thousand soul banners. At this time, there were as many as seventy-two soul banners in his hand. Although it was not enough to completely form the Heavenly Demon Banner, it was about 90%.
Now Xia Fan gathered the Ten Thousand Soul Banners together and formed a giant banner. However, the long banner hanging on it was not very complete, and there was a piece missing below. At the same time, the portrait of the Demon Saint on the banner was not clear. This is all because of the insufficient Ten Thousand Soul Banners.
However, Xia Fan didn't care about these things at this time. After all, he did not use this Demon Banner to fight against powerful enemies, but just used it to attack a city.
"Swish..." Xia Fan pointed his hand and the Demon Banner was already roaring out. The sound of breaking through the air was sharp and loud, making everyone who heard it feels shocking, as if their souls were about to collapse.
"Bang..." With a loud noise, the Demon Banner fell in front of Youfeng Pass and was stuck at the edge of the city protection formation. Not more than an inch or less.
As long as Xia Fan does not personally use the Heavenly Demon Banner to attack the formation, then he cannot be said to be a powerful master in the Grandmaster realm.
"Young Master has the fate to conquer this city." Dudu flew out of the Demon Banner and ordered with a solemn face.
"As for the order!" As the response, tens of thousands of soul bodies were already roaring out, and instantly formed a formation to rush towards the city-mopping formation.
If ordinary ghosts face the city protection formation, they will definitely avoid it, because as long as they touch the superiors, they will be directly destroyed by the soul.
However, the soul bodies led by Dudu at this time were different. Although they had no physical body, they had swallowed too much blood evil energy due to countless battles, so that their soul bodies were condensed to the point of being solid, which allowed them to withstand one or two bombardment of the formation.
When these soul bodies form a large array, they naturally become even more different. The blood evil aura on their bodies condensed together, forming a ferocious illusion of the demon god. With a roar, it rushed towards the city-shadow formation of Youfeng Pass.
"Bang..." A loud noise came, and lights rose from the city-shaking formation. Because the impact was too strong and the shock wave was too strong, the entire Youfeng Pass and even the ground around were shaking slightly, as if it was an earthquake, and the scene was quite terrifying.
From this point on, tens of thousands of soul bodies led by Dudu began to attack Youfeng Pass.
"Please help me with two junior sisters." Xia Fan put Fairy Yun Xi and the Qinglian Taoist Girl out of the Tiantian's pocket and said with a smile.
Although Yu Kongyue stayed in the Demon Realm, Fairy Yun Xi and Qinglian Taoist Girl came back with him, but they were staying in the pocket of Swallowing Heaven before, and now they were just right to help with the battle.
Xia Fan is now a powerful master, and as usual, it is not easy to directly intervene in the war. However, Fairy Yun Xi and the Dao Girl of Qing Lian are only in the third level of the Divine Realm, so there is no need to worry.
This time, he followed Xia Fan and Yu Kongyue to the Demon Realm. Although Fairy Yun Xi and the Qinglian Dao Girl were too weak and did not have much chance to help Xia Fan, they did not have any gains.
When they stayed in the Heavenly Swallowing Pocket with Yu Kongyue, they focused on their practice and had an improvement. Later, they saw Yu Kongyue breaking through to the Grandmaster realm and gaining some insights, so they improved again.
Although they are not able to control the entire battle situation now, it is enough to make the situation that is already very unfavorable to Youfeng's defenders even worse.
"Boom..." Fairy Yun Xi and the Qinglian Taoist Girl took action in succession. After several bombardments, the city-sharing formation, which had already been attacked by the combined forces of tens of thousands of soul bodies, collapsed.
Without the protection of the city protection formation, even if the city towers at Youfeng Pass are towering and there are countless defensive equipment, it is not very useful to the soul bodies.
Although the rune arrows shot from the magic crossbow and the God-Destroying Bow can also cause certain damage to the soul body, the premise is that they can hit the soul body. However, the soul body has no physical body, and it moves like a wind and is even more agile when dodging. How can it be easily shot?
In fact, it did not give the defenders on the city to shoot too many opportunities to shoot arrows. Tens of thousands of soul bodies led by Dudu personally rushed into Youfeng Pass, and then there was a tragic massacre.
It was not that Xia Fan had thought about recruiting some prisoners, but then he found that the soldiers and generals of the Shenmu Kingdom were all very stubborn and no one was willing to surrender. Xia Fan now had only a few thousand people, and he really couldn't take care of nearly 100,000 prisoners. In this way, Xia Fan was too lazy to keep them.
"Leave some people to guard Youfeng Pass, and others follow me to continue attacking." Xia Fan ordered.
"Affect the order." When the soldiers beside him saw Xia Fan so easily, they broke the Youfeng Pass that had blocked them for a long time. They were shocked and admired, and excitedly agreed and went down to pass the order.
"I am worthy of being the boss. I can easily defeat Youfeng Pass in just one's hands. Awesome, awesome!" Liu Yulinglong walked up and said with a smile.
"This is not my credit." Xia Fan shook his head and said, "I am not greedy for me." After all, being able to take Youfeng Pass so quickly is really inseparable from Dudu, Fairy Yunxi and the Qinglian Taoist Girl, and it has nothing to do with him.
Of course, if Xia Fan could also learn to be as shameless as the ancestor Hetian, it would really not take much effort to break through Youfeng Pass.
