Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 67
On the seventh day of April, it was cloudy with light rain.

Man Niuguan High Command.

Qian Yuan put down the battle report he just sent, frowned and said, "The situation is not good."

Feng Quji abandoned the car to protect the commander, and voluntarily abandoned the two counties of Baibi and Yingshui, which made the tiger demon army more unscrupulous. Under the command of the military adviser Hu Qiu, they marched in multiple ways, like locusts crossing the border, looting all the food in the three counties.

The demon army scraped the ground three feet, leaving not even a single grain of rice behind.

The people of the three counties were forcibly recruited by the tiger demon army and enslaved like pigs and dogs to help the army transport the food looted from their homes to Zhennan Pass.

If you dare not follow, you will be eaten by monsters on the spot.

On the road leading to Zhennanguan, there is an endless stream of large and small grain transport vehicles, gathered from all over the place, forming a long line, which can't be seen at a glance, which is very spectacular.

The purpose of the demon army's invasion this time is now clearly revealed, they are here to grab food!

Compared with the human race, the monster race is not good at farming, and they live by hunting and herding. Once there is a disaster year, food shortages are inevitable.During the great cold last year, a large number of livestock froze to death, and the food shortage in Yao Country was particularly serious.

Not only the Qingqiu Kingdom, but also the Zhulong Kingdom and the Quanrong Kingdom were all like this, so they did not hesitate to raise troops, raised up a large army, brazenly invaded the territory of the human race, and robbed their troops for food.

Otherwise, the demon people will starve to death.

Once Yingshui County is looted, Yize County, which is adjacent to Yingshui County, will suffer accordingly. Feng Quji may not have this intention subjectively, but objectively, he will divert the disaster eastward.

"Qingqiu Mansion is too shameless!" Zhou Qing said bitterly.

When the Tiger Demon Army entered Yize County, the situation would be extremely bad, and it might even shake the morale of the army. Whether it was the city defense battalion or the recruit battalion, more than half of the soldiers were natives of Yize County.

Nor can it be withdrawn.

Although the Tiger Demon General and his entourage have not moved much these days and seem very quiet, Qianyuan believes that once the city defense camp retreats, the opponent will definitely come back like a wolf dog.

By then, Yize's army would be in the awkward position of being attacked from both sides.

Qian Yuan looked at Guo Jia, "Is there a good way to honor filial piety?"

Guo Jia shook the feather fan in his hand and said: "My lord, the only way to break this situation is to destroy the demon army outside Manniu Pass. Only in this way can our army advance and retreat freely."

Zhou Qing said: "But the enemy is standing still. We can't take the initiative to go out and fight with the opponent in the field, right?"

After three or four days of rest, although the recruit battalion barely recovered to [-] establishments, Zhou Qing knew in his heart that the recruit battalion could not be expected to fight a tough battle.

The additional recruits have not been trained at all, and with only the strength of the city defense battalion, they are going to fight fiercely in the wild with twice as many demon troops as themselves?
Unless crazy!

Guo Jia said: "The enemy doesn't move, then find a way to make them move, we can do this..."

"good idea!"

Qian Yuan was overjoyed, "That's it!"

…………

Later that day, two crudely crafted hanging baskets were hung from the top of Manniuguan City, and two bloody heads were placed in the hanging baskets, emitting a stench.

It was the dead General Si and General Wolf.

This is a naked provocation and silent contempt for the demon army.

The situation was quickly seen by the demon army spies stationed outside the pass, and reported to Tiger Demon General.

The tiger demon general got the report, and went out of the camp. Looking closer, it was indeed so, and he was so angry that he said, "Damn it, how dare you humiliate me like this. Send an order to attack Manniu Pass tomorrow morning!"

The accompanying General Snake said: "Commander, could this be an enemy conspiracy?"

"It doesn't matter what conspiracy or not, the other party is riding on top of our heads to shit. If we continue to endure it, will it still be the style of the Tiger Demon Army?" The Tiger Demon General was furious.

The same goes for the rest of the soldiers.

The Yaozu has always been proud, and after holding back for a few days, they couldn't hold back any longer, and they all had blood on their faces.

Seeing this, General Snake could no longer persuade him. He was not a military advisor, Hu Chou. If he talked too much, he would be beaten up by General Tiger immediately, who had nowhere to vent his anger.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, a thousand monster army led by Tiger Demon General came to attack.

Man Niu closed the gate, watching the approaching demon army, Qian Yuan had no expression on his face.

At this time, in Manniu Pass, there is a full-scale city defense battalion stationed. Including the personal guards, there are a total of [-] elites. Even if they fight head-on with a thousand demon troops, they will not hesitate.

What's more, they are the defenders of the city.

The moment the Tiger Demon General decided to attack the Man Niu Pass, their fate was doomed. The human side had to consider how to wipe out this demon army.

"Pass down the order, everyone takes his place, and act according to the plan."

"promise!"

The tiger demon general walked in the front of the army, looking at the two heads hanging on the top of the wall, his eyes were full of murderous intent. He had never been humiliated like this before, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must kill all the humans in the pass.

Only by peeling and cramping can the hatred in my heart be dispelled.

No, that's not enough.

The tiger demon general will also enter Yize County, slaughter that shit Qingqiushan, and slaughter the county town, so that these humans will remember that the monster race is not easy to mess with, and let them have a long memory.

"Attack!" The tiger demon general ordered.

woo~~~~~~
Accompanied by the familiar sound of horns, the demon army began to attack.

There was no Tortoise chariot in the demon army formation, but a siege cone armed to the teeth, aimed at the barbarian bull to close the city gate.

Unlike the rock-solid city wall of Yize Pass, the overall defense of Manniu Pass is already weaker, and the city wall near Qingqiu Kingdom is even more ordinary.

Without any special protection.

With the pride of the monster race, they really can't imagine that this city wall will be used.

This brought great convenience to the demon army's attack.

The attacking tactics set by Tiger Demon General are very simple, that is to smash the city gates with siege cones, and then a large force enters the pass to start a frontal battle with the enemy.

drink!ha!drink!ha!
Two hundred bull demons put thick iron shields on their heads to form a wall of steel. They marched in unison, pushed the siege cone, and slowly but surely attacked the city gate.

"Fire arrows!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A round of arrows rained under the hood, most of them hit the shield, making a jingling sound, and some shot at the bull monster from a gap in the shield at tricky angles.

Bull demons are known for their strong defense and tenacity.

As long as you don't get shot directly, just ignore it, let the blood flow out, and move on.

Two hundred bull monsters formed a moving steel fortress.

The attack by the archers at the top of the city had little effect, and Qian Yuan ordered: "Come on, monks!"

"Order!"

Under the command of Uncle Zhong, more than [-] monks in the strong soul stage activated the talismans in their hands and shot at the bull formation in unison. Fireball, ground stab, quicksand, freezing, lightning
For a time, all kinds of spells exploded above the Barbarian Bull Formation, like fireworks.

The fireworks are just fleeting, but these spells are deadly ghosts. The ground collapsed and turned into quicksand, and the siege cone fell into the quicksand, making it impossible to move forward.

At the same time, sharp thorns pierced out of thin air one after another, piercing the bull demon from bottom to top. The corpse hung on the thorns, and the intestines and blood flowed all over the ground, dyeing the quicksand bright red.

What's more deadly is yet to come.

Under the freezing spell, the fine iron shield was immediately covered with a layer of frost, which was bone-chilling. The skin and flesh of the bull demon's hand stuck to the shield and could not be pulled off.

The body begins to stiffen.

More than a dozen fireballs flew down in the air, and under the control of the monk's soul power, they passed through the gaps in the shield trickily, burning the cow monsters until they screamed, emitting a burnt smell.

It really is a world of ice and fire.

With the cooperation of thunder and lightning, it is so refreshing, whoever tries will know.

What makes people even more desperate is that there is an endless supply of these spells, and the talismans are dropped in the air like they don't need money, and the Man Niuguan is used as a living target for practicing spells.

Qianyuan lacks everything except primary talismans.

Such frenzied bombardment made even the Tiger Demon General in the distance twitch his eyes when he saw it. Although these elementary spells couldn't hurt his life, it was inevitable that he would lose a layer of skin.

After finally approaching the city gate, most of the two hundred bull demons were dead.

The spell bombardment above his head continued.

If this continues, the entire army will be wiped out before the bull demon blasts open the city gate.

Send another team over there?
The Tiger Demon General shook his head. He had limited troops, but he couldn't bear such consumption. If a large amount of troops were spent on breaking down the city, then what's the point of attacking Manniu Pass.

"Humph!"

The Tiger Demon General snorted coldly, held the Tiger Soul Saber, and rushed towards the city gate in person. The Tiger Demon General's soldiers around the Tiger Demon General saw it and quickly followed.
