I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1044: Conquering Cities and Lands

Just as the defenders were in a panic, the group of elephant soldiers finally rushed to the city.

The White Elephant King raised his trunk and let out a deafening roar. The Mohist crossbow on the elephant's back suddenly changed direction, but this time it shot out not arrows, but densely packed caltrops!

These caltrops exploded simultaneously the moment they touched the city wall. Countless barbed chains flew out from the rising smoke and dust, instantly tying up the remaining defenders like dumplings.

“Crash the city!”

Kuafu, the leader, kept waving the peach wood staff in his hand, and the three thousand elephant soldiers all raised their noses.

But the bronze ghost mask on the forehead of each elephant suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and the black iron horns hidden in its mouth smashed towards the city wall.

At this time, three thousand southern barbarian elephant soldiers had rushed into the city. The crossbowmen in the elephant-back battle towers kept shooting poisonous arrows. The bamboo tubes tied to the arrows exploded in the air, scattering poisonous caltrops all over the sky.

The demon soldiers marched forward on the poisonous fire. The black fog under their feet could actually block the flames. Wherever the heavy halberds passed, the defenders were cut in two, including their armor.

One of the demon soldiers was pierced through the chest by a spear, but he suddenly opened his mouth and bit the spear shaft. Poisonous blood flowed back along the spear, and the defender holding the spear died in just three breaths with his body festering.

Chi You rode his horse and stood in the center of the battlefield. The eyes of the monster on the Tiger Soul Sword became more and more scarlet as he killed more people. He saw that the leader of the Demon God Army had already reached the city gate. The man actually inserted his heavy halberd into the capstan of the city gate. His arms were as muscular as pythons, and he pulled the thousand-jin copper gate so hard that it creaked.

At the broken hole in the city gate, the southern barbarian elephant soldiers were pouring in continuously. The elephants' trunks rolled up the defenders and threw them to the ground, and their tusks lifted up the arrow towers. The whole garrison had become a purgatory on earth.

With the cooperation of the demon soldiers and the elephant soldiers, this garrison that was said to be able to withstand the fierce attack of tens of thousands of troops collapsed within half an hour!

Chi You strode into the garrison on the gravel, and the tip of his Hupo sword lifted up a tattered general's flag with the word Yang on it.

He suddenly put the tip of the knife against the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of devil blood onto the flag. The entire flag spontaneously ignited without fire, and the rising flames condensed into a fire wolf three meters high!

"Old Yang Jian, I will use your head to brew the strongest wine!"

Chi You laughed wildly, and the demonic aura raised a cloud of dust all over the ground. Behind him, the Jiuli army was moving the stored grain from the garrison's granary onto the baggage carts carried by the elephant soldiers - according to the agreement, these grains would be used as rewards for the Jiuli tribe to capture the next garrison.

"Chief, look!"

The exclamation of the guards interrupted Chi You's reverie.

He looked in the direction of his personal guard's finger, and saw suddenly dense black arrows floating on the surface of the river - those were the remains of the crossbows that were smashed apart by the elephant soldiers, and were now rising and falling with the river water, like countless banners to call back souls.

Chi You suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter caused huge waves three feet high on the surface of the river.

He loved the exhilarating feeling of being soaked in blood, just like when he led the Jiuli tribe to flatten the 72 villages in southern Xinjiang.

But this time, he wants to crush the entire Daxuan Dynasty!
Chi You wiped the blood that was splattered on his ox-horn helmet, and grinned at the darkening dusk in the sky.

The guard post was burning behind him at this moment, and the flames shot up into the sky, dyeing half of the sky a strange purple-red color. The smell of burning mixed with the smell of blood was surging in the river breeze.

"Chief, the granary of the guard has been counted."

"Old Yang Jian is really just as Marshal Mo expected. He only keeps one month's worth of food and grass in each garrison. He is trying to learn how to dig holes like a rat."

Kuafu walked over on the broken bricks, with a bloody human head skewered on the tip of the snake spear in his hand.

Chi You sneered upon hearing this, and chopped the remaining garrison drum of the garrison with his Tiger Soul Sword. The loud sound of the bronze drum exploding startled flocks of egrets on the river bank.

With Chi You's battlefield sense, he roughly understood Yang Jian's plan - this old fox clearly wanted to use the garrison as a millstone to slowly wear down the morale of the anti-king coalition forces.

But Chi You refused to fulfill the old man's wish!

"Pass the order down, the three armies will rest for half an hour."

Chi You tore off his animal-skin cloak, revealing a body as strong as an iron tower, and the hideous demon tattoo on his chest moved in the firelight. "When the moon is at its highest point in the sky, I will lead the demon soldiers to flatten the remaining seven guard posts and give old Yang Jian a great gift!"

Before he finished speaking, a rumble like thunder suddenly came from the distance.

Chi You turned around abruptly, his pupils reflecting the smoke and dust rising from the horizon - three thousand southern barbarian elephant soldiers were swaying slowly with earth-shaking steps, the barbed iron chains wrapped around the tusks were shining coldly in the firelight, and the crossbowmen in the elephant-back battle tower had begun to load specially made poisonous flame arrows.

At the same time, at this moment, on the top of Qujiang City, Yang Lin, a general under Yang Jian, was leaning on the Water and Fire Dragon Prison Stick and overlooking Qujiang below the city.

The old man's hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were as sharp as lightning, and the dragon pattern on the dragon-imprisoning stick was faintly visible in the firelight.

Behind him, twelve crossbows were slowly turning towards the river. The crossbow arms were engraved with Zhenjiang talismans, and in the arrow grooves lay three-foot-long armor-piercing arrows. The arrow tips had dipped in the black ice of the cold pond, emitting a cold blue light in the twilight.

"Your Majesty, the signal fire of the Fourth Guard Station has been extinguished."

"The new group of demon soldiers from the Thirty-Six Rebel Kings are really weird. When our brothers slashed at them with their swords and spears, only sparks flew!"

A general who escaped from the front-line guard post ran up to the top of the city wall, covered in blood. Half of his shoulder armor was missing, revealing his rolled flesh.

"What a great Xuanyuan Po, he can actually drive the remnants of Jiuli!"

"Send the order to abandon the sixth and seventh guard posts, and transport all baggage to Qujiang Water Gate overnight."

Upon hearing this, Yang Lin did not get angry but laughed instead. He slammed the Dragon Prison Stick heavily on the ground, and the bluestone bricks immediately cracked into spider web patterns.

"Your Majesty! Those two guard posts still have..."

"Do it!"

Yang Lin suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound was so loud that the flags on the city walls fluttered.

"Do you think that group of barbarians are really going to attack each city one by one? They are trying to imitate wolves driving sheep away, forcing the main force of our army to the city of Qujiang and catching them all in one swoop!"

The general shuddered all over, and then he realized that the marching route of Chiyou's army was in line with the Southern Barbarians' method of "driving beasts and hunting".

He did not dare to delay and turned around and ran down the city. The sound of the iron soles of his boots hitting the stone steps startled the night owl and it fluttered up.

Yang Lin stood alone on the top of the city wall, looking at the twinkling fishing lights on the river, and suddenly recalled the events recorded in his memory when the Great Xuan Dynasty pacified southern Xinjiang thirty years ago.

At that time, the Jiuli tribe still had eighty-one villages, and each village worshipped the remnant soul of the demon god. The demon god soldiers displayed by the group of barbarians on the opposite side were clearly the same as the methods used by the Jiuli Great Witch as recorded in the Great Xuan Dynasty!
"Somebody come!"

"Take my black armor!"

Yang Lin suddenly turned around, and the Dragon Prison Rod cut through the night sky, leaving a heavy streak of water on the sand table.

When the third watch gong sounded, Chi You had led his army to the vicinity of the Sixth Guard Post.

Under the moonlight, the walls of this garrison glowed an eerie blue-black color, and the tops of the walls were densely covered with cinnabar talisman flags, which fluttered in the night wind like soul-calling banners.

"Chief Chiyou, there is something strange."

"The guards of this garrison... are singing funeral songs!"

Kuafu suddenly reined in the white elephant king under his crotch, and the elephant's hooves stepped out deep grooves on the blue bricks.

Chi You listened attentively and indeed heard the faint sound of the xun coming from the top of the city, mixed with the hoarse chanting of the defenders. It turned out to be the "Rebirth Tune" performed by the southern barbarian shamans to pray for the souls of the dead.

He suddenly grinned grimly, and pressed the tip of his Tiger Soul Blade against the ground. Dark red energy flowed along the blade into the soil, instantly attracting more than a hundred black shadows to rush out from the base of the city wall - they were actually corpse soldiers with talismans wrapped all over their bodies!
