Immortal and Demon Cultivation

War was not invented by humans. It existed before humans appeared.

War exists in every corner of the world. Wherever there are living things, there will be fighting and war.

The gene of war exists in the blood of every living thing.

In the desert, the most terrifying thing is not poisonous snakes or scorpions, but ants.

Wherever desert marching ants pass, there are white bones, which is what humans or animals are most afraid of encountering.

Now 800,000 cavalrymen are playing the role of desert marching ants.

The ancient city of Shaqiu is larger than the ancient city of Longmen, but compared with the city in Middle-earth, it is more like a small town.

It runs east-west, with a city gate on the east and west sides.

At this moment, the ancient city of Shaqiu is bloody.

When about 25,000 celestial cavalry retreated to the ancient city, there were still hundreds of old, weak, women and children in the city who had not had time to move.

So, the first fight took place in the city.

The celestial cavalry entered from the west gate in the night. They dismounted their horses and swung their cold scimitars at all the living creatures they could see in the city.

Screams and wails sounded in the city, but soon disappeared.

Then a raging fire ignited in the city.

It seemed that every house was set on fire by the crazy celestial soldiers.

The celestial warriors never adopted a conciliatory policy in the places they occupied. Their goal was to kill and destroy.

So this kind of war was named a catastrophe by the human world.

After the celestial soldiers killed all the people in the city, they sealed the east and west entrances and exits. All the soldiers climbed up the city walls and waited for the arrival of reinforcements.

In the dark night, the ancient city of Shaqiu turned into a city of fire. Countless tiny flames on the periphery quickly surrounded it like a plate of desert marching ants.

It was not until they got closer that they could see clearly that they were not marching ants, but torches held high by the cavalry.

When the 800,000 Middle-earth cavalry arrived here, the celestial soldiers were already on the city wall waiting for them.

Seeing the raging flames flickering in the city, the human cavalry was extremely angry.

The cavalry rushed to the bottom of the city wall, took out the crossbows and bows and arrows, and shot at the heavenly soldiers on the city wall.

The heavenly soldiers all crouched down, with the city wall as cover, and the arrows did not have much killing power on them.

The walls of the cities in the Western Regions are not very high, and Shaqiu City is no exception.

The city wall is only three feet high, but for the cavalry, this three feet height is undoubtedly a natural moat.

There will be no problem for 800,000 people to take over the ancient city of Shaqiu. The key is time.

If the human cavalry cannot end the battle of the ancient city of Shaqiu before dawn, the main force of the Storm Legion of the Heaven will arrive.

Once the main force of the Storm Legion arrives, it means that this hunting war ends with the failure of the human world.

This 800,000-strong army is composed of 100,000 Western Region cavalry and 700,000 cavalry from the Beiting Protectorate of the Central Plains. The commander of the Western Region is called Ali Shi, who is the third son of the king of Dayuan.

At this moment, the commander of the Beiting cavalry besieging the ancient city of Shaqiu was Guo Changzhuo.

Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle.

Guo Changzhuo was the younger brother of Guo Changyu, the general of Beiting Cavalry.

In this desert, there were two cavalry commanders with the surname Guo, Guo Hailong and Guo Haitian.

These two brothers were Guo Changyu's two sons.

In order to protect the country and the world, the Guo family of Beiting Protector General, like the Yang family of Zhenxi Army and the Zhao family of Xiting, all the male members of the family went to the battlefield.

Guo Changzhuo soon discovered that it was difficult to cause effective damage to the enemies on the city wall through bows and arrows.

The other side decided to defend Shaqiu City temporarily, and there was no equipment for defending the city.

So Guo Changzhuo ordered the cavalry to dismount and attack the east gate.

Ali Shi, the commander of the Western Region Cavalry, led the Western Region warriors to attack the west gate.

This group of celestial cavalry really deserved to die. They thought that as long as they relied on the solid city walls and held out for a few hours, they would be able to wait for reinforcements, and then the human cavalry would flee.

The calculations were very good, but they overlooked three points.

First, the human cavalry would take the initiative to attack and block the celestial beast cavalry that came to help.

The time when their reinforcements arrived would be much later than they expected in advance.

Second, the celestial warriors had no experience in holding out, especially the cavalry, they only knew how to attack, attack, and attack again.

As soon as they entered the city, they began to massacre the city and set the ancient city of Shaqiu on fire.

But when they really stood on the city wall and faced the attack of the human warriors, they realized how stupid they had done.

There was no defense equipment! They should have dismantled the door panels of each house and made them into shields as soon as possible, and moved the stones used to build the houses to the city walls to be used as logs and rolling stones.

Third, they should not have set the whole city on fire so quickly.

Since the ancient city of Shaqiu is east-west, unlike the square cities in the Middle Earth, the houses in the city are very close to the city wall, and the thick smoke from the fire in the city is very choking.

Moreover, the flames jumped very high, illuminating the heavenly warriors on the city wall clearly.

However, they had no experience in defending the city, and only knew how to kill people and massacre the city. As a result, they could only squat behind the battlements of the city wall and watch the human soldiers attack the city.

They didn't dare to show their heads. Once they showed their heads, the flames in the city would illuminate their figures very clearly. Hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen under the city, each with a strong bow and crossbow, immediately shot countless arrows.

In this hunting battle, although Zhao Zian made many mistakes and delayed the opportunity to fight.

But the soldiers of the heavens also made many mistakes.

They pulled the heavens, which had many advantages in occupying the ancient city of Shaqiu, back to the same starting line as the human cavalry.

The east and west gates were blocked by some rocks and huge trees. It would take some time for the human soldiers to break through the gates.

Guo Changzhuo was also a general who had fought on the battlefield for many years. He knew that he was racing against time. If he broke the city earlier, the human cavalry responsible for blocking the six-legged beast riders would suffer fewer losses.

He ordered the dozens of eight-ox crossbows carried by the generals to be assembled quickly.

After the eight-ox crossbows were assembled, they were not fired at the enemies on the city wall, but at the city wall.

Soon, the eight-foot crossbows were nailed to the city wall.

The human soldiers bit their scimitars, grabbed the crossbows nailed to the city wall, and climbed up.

Soon, some human soldiers jumped onto the city wall, but there were not many of them, and they were all quickly killed by the heavenly soldiers.

When the heavenly soldiers stood up to fight with the human soldiers, the sharpshooters under the city wall took the opportunity to shoot.

As more and more human soldiers climbed up the city wall, the human soldiers could no longer shoot arrows at the city wall. They could only raise their angles and shoot arrows into the city to suppress the enemy troops in the city.

Shouts of killing, the sound of bowstrings vibrating, the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the sound of thousands of horses galloping, the screams before death, the sound of the city gates colliding, the wailing of the wounded, and the sound of the roaring flames... countless kinds of sounds gathered together to perform a war scene that has never changed for thousands of years.
