Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 128 Bloodbath in the South
"Shoot! Shoot!"

"Stones! Rolling logs! Broken weapons and armor... and corpses! Aim at the enemy and throw!"

Xie Yingdeng, the Iron-Handed Archer, was not good at close combat. Now he was in charge of guarding the south city wall. He kept bending his bow and shooting arrows while roaring for luck.

With the Tianmen Guards going into battle, the Sui army, which had originally planned to enter the city smoothly and rapidly, began to retreat step by step. Even though Xiao Ying and Dugu Feng rushed to the front, they could not reverse the retreat and could not stop the Liang army's momentum.

Xie Yingdeng saw it and was anxious. The precious bow in his hand was almost broken, and he couldn't kill many people. It was obviously a drop in the bucket and would not help at all!
The elite Sui army occupying the city wall threw almost everything they could onto the wall, even corpses, but they couldn't stop the Liang army's advance!
"Kill one heavy armored person and you will be rewarded 100 gold coins, promoted to a higher rank, and replaced by someone else. Fukuzawa family!"

Looking far and wide from a high place, Xie Yingdeng, who already had an extraordinary vision and a keen insight into the situation, changed his mind and took over the task.

Xie Yingdeng was obviously still quite cautious and did not dare to promise too much.

One hundred gold coins are enough to keep an ordinary family of four wealthy for ten years.

What’s important is that even if the killer dies in battle, his meritorious position will not be abolished or devalued, but can be replaced by the person designated in the “will”.

In Xie Yingdeng's eyes, the powerful men of the Sui army, whose cultivation level was obviously several major realms higher than that of the Tianmen Guards (a manifestation of star soul possession), were clearly able to crush the Tianmen Guards, but were forced to retreat or killed. It was so painful to watch that it made people want to go crazy!

This is the gap between battlefield experience and military literacy!

Of course, the main factors include the protection and deterrence of heavy armor, as well as the influence of the powerful military might of the Liang army of hundreds of thousands.

No matter how much the iron-blooded murderous aura was weakened, the strong men of the Sui army who were fighting fiercely under the city were obviously much stronger than the Tianmen guards. They only fell into disadvantage because of mistakes in their tactics or because they were afraid of fighting before their death!

To put it cruelly and ruthlessly, the "strong men" of the Sui army who are now fighting bloody battles under the city basically rely on the possession of star souls. Most of them are elite recruits, and a small number are elite soldiers from the northern and southern armies.

Die together...that is, one for one!

The Sui army definitely made a profit, and a big profit.

After all, each Tianmen Guard is carefully selected, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is one in a thousand.

Add to that the weapons, heavy armor, giant shields, training, treatment, experience, and so on, and each Tianmen Guard must have cost over a thousand gold. Not even factoring in time, energy, and combat experience, these improvised "Sui Army elites" were worth about the same as the ordinary Liang Army soldiers fighting there. The difference was obvious...

It's a pity that even ants are greedy for life and fear of death is their nature. This is the overall situation, but the Sui army under the city has no such idea or awareness!

Xie Yingdeng almost said it directly, letting the Sui army strongmen under the city and the Tianmen guards perish together...

"Hey..."

A Tianmen guard walked forward with a shield in his right hand and stabbed with a spear in his left hand. The main shield and secondary spear were opposite to the normal situation, and the sound of breaking wind at close range was still amazing.

He easily dodged the spears against the Sui army warriors and was about to retreat when four or five long spears came from the left and right, almost blocking the Sui army warriors' space to dodge.

Remembering the promise made by their commander (Xie Yingdeng), the Sui army warrior gritted his teeth and rushed forward, slapping the Tianmen guard in the face, denting his iron mask and leaving him dizzy, but unable to kill him...

"Click..."

A subtle sound was heard, and the strong man of the Sui army could not find a place to attack for a while, but relying on his super high cultivation strength (possessed by the star soul), he grabbed the helmet of the Tianmen guard with one hand and twisted it, directly breaking his neck!
"So Iron Man is so easy to kill?!"

The Sui army warrior succeeded with a casual move, and he was immediately delighted. Relying on the protective energy gained from external force (the star soul possession), he directly rushed towards the Tianmen guard next to him. He grabbed a helmet in each hand, and exhaled energy, shocking him to death through the helmet!

“Chi, chi…”

Before the Sui army could kill many strong men, six or seven long spears stabbed at them from all directions, directly stabbing the Sui army strong men who were blocked in the crowded Tianmen guard formation to death on the spot!

"Xie Ergou... for killing four ordinary Liang soldiers and three heavily armored enemy soldiers, you'll be promoted five ranks and become a military marquis (a military rank below the rank of lieutenant in the Sui Dynasty). Your family will inherit the same rank and receive the same treatment and position as a military marquis!" Xie Yingdeng pierced a Tianmen guard's giant shield with an arrow, but failed to kill him. He happened to have seen this man's battle record and recognized him. With a sudden thought, he immediately announced his fortune loudly!
"what?!"

The crowd at the foot of the city was densely packed, and many people nearby noticed Xie Ergou's situation and immediately followed him.

If they were to kill by force, the Tianmen Guards would be like iron men, with nowhere to start. Adding to the dense congestion, there was no place to kill, making it even harder to kill. However, killing by force... breaking the neck was a good idea!
People nearby followed suit, some taking one person with them as a scapegoat, and some killing three or four people in a row.

Many powerful men of the Sui army used sword tips, copper coins, iron wires, and strong force to attack the necks, joints, and gaps in the armor of the Tianmen guards, and successfully killed them!

For a while, the retreat of the Sui army slowed down a little, and although casualties continued, it also caused a lot of corresponding casualties to the Tianmen guards!
……

"shoot!"

"Chi! Chi! Chi..."

Xie Ergou’s experience is just the tip of the iceberg. The battlefield is still a bloody fight with life and death hanging in the balance.

When the enemy and our vanguards were fighting fiercely, both sides had dense rain of arrows and powerful crossbows, which kept falling to attack and kill. This was beneficial to the Tianmen guards who were wearing heavy armor, but very dangerous to other types of soldiers!

"Roar……"

"King Kong is coming!"

A burst of angry roars arose, and the Eighteen Arhats who were defending the city gate were finally killed in front of them by the Tianmen Guards.

Under the intensive attack, the Arhat monk guards burst out with all their strength, the Vajra Dharma image condensed, and the energy around their bodies poured out. They withstood several spears and many sharp arrows, swords and guns, and were pushed back by many huge shields and attacks.

After a moment, the Arhat's strength was exhausted, his Dharma image collapsed, his inner energy dissipated, and the numerous attacks from swords, spears, and other weapons fell, piercing even his iron skin like water dripping through stone...

Monk Wei, one of the Eighteen Arhats, died in battle!
"Hui Qing..."

A friendly Arhat roared, unleashing all his might, powerfully blasting away several giant shields. He withstood the active attack head-on, killing dozens of Tianmen guards and over a hundred Liang soldiers in a row, and then...

His clothes were tattered and torn, his skin with a metallic luster was pierced by many swords and guns, and he died in battle!

"Arhat Demon Subduing Formation, rise!"

Master Huineng, the second-rank divine general who was the leader of the Eighteen Arhats, roared in shock and anger.

Unfortunately, with so many people crowded together and attacks everywhere, even if the Arhats wanted to form a formation, there was no space to move...

The formation failed!

This is the iron-blooded battlefield!

"shoot!"

"attack!"

At this moment, a burst of dense shouts rose from the top of the south city wall, and a rain of arrows and countless spears poured down from the hundred-meter-high city wall, bombarding the densely packed Liang army below the city!
The space of the city gate passage is limited. Countless elite Sui soldiers who were unable to enter the city climbed up the wall with the help of "hooks". While resisting the attacks of the enemy troops on both sides of the wall, they launched a fierce attack on the enemy troops below the city... or in other words, it was a battle to defend the "wall"!
At the same time, the Sui army, which was everywhere in the mountains, circled from the east city gate to the south city wall, and blocked the south city wall...

The Sui army outside the city had no way of entering the city, and could only rely on their iron-blooded murderous aura to slightly resist the enemy's pressure!
The narrow city gate passage and the limited space at its entrance had been turned into a bloody meat grinder...
