Chapter 291 Cai Shao’s idea
Looking at his leaving figure, Yang Zhan walked over and said arrogantly: "Captain, just leave that puppet general to me. I can easily solve it by myself."
Yang Zhan cracked his fingers and made a bone sound, his eyes filled with fighting intent.
Long Xuan turned to look at him, showing joy: "Have you recovered your realm?"
When he first entered the Sky Island, he did not ask Yang Zhan to collect elixirs everywhere. Instead, he immediately handed him the Ice and Fire Pills and asked him to find a hidden place to restore his realm immediately.
Long Xuan has always been cautious. Entering such a dangerous place, how could he not create a Gu cultivator at the Spirit Sea stage as his trump card?
He had already planned this when he was refining the Ice and Fire Pill.
After Yang Zhan saw the Ice and Fire Pill, he almost cried with joy. He didn't have time to ask how he made the Ice and Fire Pill, so he ran away with the Ice and Fire Pill in his hands.
It doesn't matter even if he asks, Long Xuan has already thought of the excuse in his mind. The question is that the master and his wife made it and then transmitted it through the coir poison, and the integrity Gu testified.
It’s just that he didn’t expect Yang Zhan to recover so quickly, and just in time for the siege. In this way, he would be more confident in dealing with the puppet general.
No! That puppet general was nothing to worry about for him. Even Yang Zhan could easily take care of it.
However, after Long Xuan got excited at this time, he quickly shook his head and said: "Don't make a move yet. You are my biggest trump card now. It would be a waste to use your trump card on a puppet."
“I need you to deal with a bigger crisis, it’s too early for you to take action.”
“When you fight against the puppet general, just use the power of the Peak of Marrow Cleansing. Even if you use the power beyond the Peak of Marrow Cleansing, don’t let anyone notice it.”
"If the rest of the people know that there is a master of the spiritual sea stage in our team, then we will definitely become the target of public criticism. Then it will be difficult for us to grab any treasures."
Yang Zhan nodded solemnly. He had just returned to the peak state of the spiritual sea, and he was a little carried away. He couldn't wait to show off his long-lost power. After so many years, his body bones were already rusty after not using the state of spiritual sea Gu cultivation for so many years. .
Now that he heard Long Xuan explain the stakes, he could only hold back the urge in his heart.
“Okay, then I will temporarily suppress the realm at the peak of marrow cleansing, but I think with the strength of you and Di Xin, if another spiritual sea stage Gu cultivator does not appear on the island, I will have no chance to take action.”
Yang Zhan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Another Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator appeared on the island. How is this possible?
Originally, there were three pseudo-spiritual sea stage Gu cultivators who could go to the island, but those three were killed by this insidious captain before they could show off their power on the island.
It was so frustrating to die.
…
An hour later.
Under the command of the two alliance leaders Cai Shao and Jiu Gongzi, square formations were formed under the city wall, each holding a spiritual shield in their hands.
The Gu cultivator group does not wear heavy iron armor, so they can only use spiritual shields to defend against crossbow arrow attacks on the city wall.
The Gu cultivators who came here had obviously done their research in advance and knew that attacking the City of Divine Machines required spiritual shields, so everyone was prepared.
Of course, Long Xuan didn't know that he needed to prepare a spiritual shield, but fortunately he had a rich young woman like Di Xin by his side.
She can easily take out not only a hundred spiritual shields, but also thousands of spiritual shields. After all, she is a master who has even looted the treasury.
Long Xuan was shameless and easily borrowed a bunch of siege equipment from her.
For example, crossbows, armor, ladders... The gravity under the city wall is amazing, and flying is prohibited. If you want to climb the city wall, you really need to borrow primitive equipment like a ladder.
However, this kind of equipment may not be useful to them. After all, they are responsible for dealing with the puppet generals and stand at the end of the phalanx. When the time comes, they can just borrow the ladders of the people in front to climb up the city wall.
At this time, the sounds of war could be heard from the West City, North City, and South City, and the remaining three alliance leaders were already giving orders to attack the city.
Cai Shao and Jiu Gongzi finally stopped hesitating and began to order an attack on the city. Twenty thousand Gu cultivators stood in a square formation, held up their spiritual shields, and charged towards the east wall in a mighty manner.
After entering the crossbow range, the puppet archers on the city wall shot down arrows one after another, and sprinkled them on the Gu cultivator army under the city wall.
But the Gu cultivator army was well prepared. Everyone held up a spiritual shield, and most of the arrows hit the spiritual shield. There were not many casualties among the Gu cultivators.
Just an unlucky guy was shot in the toe, screamed and lowered his head, and then was shot in the head with an arrow, and died.
The rain of arrows was obviously just an appetizer. Soon, round lights flashed one after another on the city wall. The lights became brighter and brighter, and it was almost blinding.
“This is a divine machine cannon! Keep the formation and don’t mess up! Don’t let anyone run around!”
“This thing’s attacks are covered indiscriminately. There is no gap to hide. I hold up my shield and resist them!”
“If everyone runs around, more people will die!”
Cai Shao shouted in the crowd, and the ear-splitting roar quickly covered up his voice. White beams of light flew down from the city wall one after another, densely covering the ground indiscriminately.
“Boom…”
“Boom…”
“Boom…”
Dense beams of light struck the Gu cultivator army, causing deafening roars one after another.
All the Gu cultivators listened to Cai Shao's advice and raised their shields to block the incoming beam of light.
With their crazy injection of spiritual energy, the spiritual shield formed a large energy barrier. All the spiritual shields were spliced together to protect all the Gu cultivators seamlessly.
In this way, most of the beams were resisted by Gu Xiu with gritted teeth, but there were still some places where the beams broke through the defense, causing people to flip over and scream.
Don’t forget that weapons like cannons attack in a wide range. As long as one person fails to resist the flying shells, his teammates around him will also be killed.
The shelling was obviously far more than one round. The shells on the city wall were like free money, wildly blasting at the crowd below.
The defensive equipment of the City of Divine Machine was obviously far more than the Divine Machine cannon. Soon huge crossbows were fired from the city, rocks flew, and even a piece of flying bird-shaped puppets flew out.
Obviously there is huge gravity outside the city wall, but these bird puppets are able to fly in the air and occupy the air superiority.
This group of airmen flew over the head of the Gu cultivator army and dropped countless kerosene and explosives, causing a sea of fire and screams below, exacerbating the casualties of the Gu cultivators below.
Seeing that these bird-shaped puppets were flying over, Long Xuan struck out with a flaming palm, instantly clearing the flying bird-shaped puppets.
Large areas of the bird-shaped puppets that had been burned black fell to the ground and lost their ability to move.
Just when Long Xuan was about to pick it up and take the opportunity to study the puppet technique, all the bird-shaped puppets on the ground disappeared out of thin air in an instant.
Like the dozen or so Gu cultivators he had killed before, these bird-shaped puppets disappeared out of thin air under his eyes.
Long Xuan was stunned and could only give up the idea of secretly learning the puppetry technique.
The movement speed of the Gu cultivators was still very fast. After surviving these rounds of attacks, a large number of Gu cultivators finally reached the city wall.
At such a close range, the divine machine cannons that were a great threat to them could not attack them. The Gu cultivators under the city wall began to release countless fireballs, thunder and lightning, wind blades, ice blades... and the army of puppets on the city wall. Expand the shooting.
At the same time, large swaths of Gu insects were also released, and they climbed up the city wall in groups.
A large number of Gu insects climbed onto the city wall and rushed towards the nearest puppet. There was chaos on the city wall.
Large swathes of puppets were knocked down from the city wall, fell under the city wall, and disappeared out of thin air soon after.
The army of Gu cultivators did not climb up the city wall immediately, but continued to use various long-range attacks to consume the puppets on the city wall.
This was also Cai Shao's idea.
There are many types of puppets. There are sword puppets that raise swords, bow puppets that raise bows, and various beast puppets. There are countless different types of puppets.
The puppets with axes and swords and the beast puppets are all melee puppets and cannot attack the Gu cultivators under the city wall.
The only ones that can attack the Gu cultivators under the city wall are puppets that can release long-range attacks, such as bow puppets that hold bows and flame puppets that can breathe fire.
So if both sides consume from a distance, the puppets in the city will not be able to exert their numerical advantage, and most of the melee puppets can only stand.
But if all the Gu cultivators rush into the city at once, they will face off against all types of puppets.
The number of the puppet army is much greater than the Gu cultivator army. It is definitely not a wise choice to engage in a melee with all types of puppets in the city.
So Cai Shao's idea was not to attack the city first, but to consume it remotely under the city wall.
All Gu cultivators have long-range attack capabilities, but less than half of the puppets have long-range attack capabilities.
Such a strategy is completely beneficial to the Gu cultivator, and everyone has approved this proposal.
The Gu cultivator's army prioritized attacking the bow-wielding puppets standing on the city walls and other puppets with long-range attack capabilities, as well as various city defense equipment.
In terms of long-range consumption, it was obvious that the Gu cultivator army had the upper hand. It didn’t take long for the firepower on the city wall to become smaller and smaller, and the number of puppets standing on the city wall became smaller and smaller.
Until there were not many puppets exposed on the city wall, a large number of Gu cultivators under the city wall began to use ladders from their storage bags and quickly climbed up the city wall!
“Kill me! There are not many puppets left in the city!”
"Come into the city and kill all the puppets in the city. All the treasures in the city will be ours!"
The two alliance leaders roared, took the lead, climbed up from the ladder, and jumped into a group of puppets holding sharp axes.
The two alliance leaders took the lead in the charge, which undoubtedly greatly improved the morale of the Gu cultivators below. The Gu cultivators below crazily climbed towards the city wall!
Not long after, the city wall was crowded with Gu cultivators, and patches of puppets were knocked out from under the wall on the other side.
The city wall on the east side was the first to be breached. The fall of this city wall immediately triggered a chain reaction, and the other three city walls were also breached by the other three alliance leaders. A large number of Gu cultivators swarmed the walls on all sides.
However, the puppets on the city wall have been eliminated, but there are still a large number of melee type puppets in the city. The puppet army in the city is densely packed, and the number is still much greater than the Gu cultivator army.
This war is far from over.
