Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 598: The First Battle between Man and Demon
Three days later, the army of the alien demon world came out in full force and headed straight for the area controlled by the Zi Yao Dynasty.

The Demon Army no longer adopted the strategy of dividing its forces, and just as Suan Tianhe had said, those small Celestial Empire troops saw the powerful and majestic Demon Army and could not find any opportunity to take advantage of.

Even if these troops created the illusion of the main force of the Celestial Empire as they did last time, in order to attract the main force of the demon army.

The demon army also did not pursue under the strict order of Yinxun Zhuwu.

In this way, the demon army marched all the way and finally came to a place close to the rule of Zi Yao Tian Dynasty.

Suan Tianhe reported the situation to Yin Xun Zhu Wu, "My Lord, if we go another thirty miles, we will reach Tian Qing Gorge. After this place, we will be within the jurisdiction of Zi Yao Tian Dynasty."

"Order the entire army to quickly pass through Tianqing Gorge and force the main force of Ziyao Tianchao to fight."

A majestic pass stands majestically at the mouth of Tianqing Gorge, connected to the mountain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Suan Tianhe: "How is it possible? A few days ago, the spies reported that there was still a passage here. In just a few days, the Ziyao Dynasty actually built a pass."

Looking at this majestic pass, Yin Zhuwu sighed: "The Ziyao Heavenly Dynasty has indeed been prepared for the Alien Demon Realm."

This pass is called 'Tianqing Pass'. It was built after the last war to prevent the alien demon world from crossing the Tianqing Gorge and entering the Central Plains to cause trouble.

Lord Shaoyang ordered the mobilization of the Heavenly Dynasty's resources to build a strong pass in Tianqing Gorge, the main road leading to the Central Plains from the alien demon world, taking into account the steep terrain.

The new policies of the Ziyao Dynasty have begun to show results in the Central Plains, developing the Central Plains' war potential.

For this construction, the Celestial Empire mobilized hundreds of thousands of craftsmen from the Central Plains and Dongwulin to cooperate with the Lu and Mo families.

It took only three days to build this magnificent pass.

The meaning of the word "Tianqing" in Tianqing Gorge is unclear.

So on the day when the pass was completed, Lord Shaoyang personally issued an order to name it "Tianqing Pass", which means the pillar that supports the sky of the Purple Glory Dynasty. Tianqing Gorge was also changed to Tianqing Gorge.

"Tianqing Pass, the ambition of Ziyao Dynasty is not small. But can this pass alone stop the army of my demon world?" While speaking, Yinxuan Zhuwu first appeared in the battle Tianyan Zhanfengyue, intending to use his own world-shaking foundation and the magic weapon to break through the pass in one fell swoop.

A huge sword energy pierced through the sky, splitting the sky and chopping the moon, demolishing mountains and moving the sea.

Just as the sword energy fell, two huge things came. One broke the world-shaking sword.

"Yes, there are experts inside the pass."

Just as Yinxun Zhuwu finished speaking, two figures arrived.

It was the Purple Glory Dynasty's General of Cavalry, Bi Feixiao, and General of the Town Army, Wuming, who arrived. Following closely behind them were the Yajin Barbarians and the Black Barbarians' army.

"The demon world in another dimension is indeed still harboring evil intentions and is always thinking about invading the Central Plains. Fortunately, Your Highness made plans early and built a strong pass here to block the demon army." Bifei smiled as he looked at the demon army at the pass, feeling that Shaoyang Jun had foreseen the situation.

It had been expected that the Demon Realm would gather a large army this time, cross the 300-mile no-man's land, and head straight for the Heavenly Dynasty.

He arranged for himself and Wuming to lead the elite troops of the Black Barbarians to garrison in advance. It was he and Wuming who used their palm to break the Yinshun Zhuwu sword energy just now.

Bi Feixiao stood at the gate and shouted to the people below: "Is the person coming here Yin Zhuwu?"

Yin Zhuwu stepped forward and said, "That's right."

Bifei smiled and followed Shaoyang Jun's instructions, "Why did the current leader of the Demon Realm invade the borders of our Heavenly Dynasty for no reason?"

Yin Zhu Wu laughed and said, "Why be so hypocritical? Both you and I know that there will be a war between Ziyao Heavenly Dynasty and our Yidu Demon Realm. Can you say that the Heavenly Dynasty's actions around the Demon Realm do not have the same intention?

Bi Feixiao retorted: "What our dynasty has done around the Demon Realm is just to take precautions, and we have never attacked the Demon Realm. On the contrary, since you came to power, the Demon Realm has invaded the homes of the people and made frequent moves against the Central Plains. The current situation further proves that Your Highness is just taking precautions. Otherwise, I am afraid that the people within 300 miles of the Demon Realm will become the souls of your demon world's sword."

"Enough of small talk, let's start the war." Yinxuan Zhuwu understood that this war was to start a war with the otherworldly demon world, and did not want to say any more.

With one order, the demon army was ordered to attack the city.

"It seems that the Demon Realm is determined to start a war. But this is exactly what I want, hahahahaha..." Bi Feixiao was not a good person to begin with. He had a lot of free time and was eager for the Heavenly Kingdom to go to war with the Demon Realm to completely eradicate this thorn in his side. When the demon army attacked the city, Bi Feixiao immediately ordered the long-prepared city defense equipment to be moved out, "Come on, take out the equipment made by Minister Mo."

I saw the gates of Tianqing closed and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire pushed out hundreds of carriages.

When the front door of the van was opened, a cold light suddenly appeared. Each van was loaded with hundreds of arrows on its surface alone.

This is a crossbow cart invented by Mo Zongsi. It can be operated by three people, one is responsible for shooting arrows, and two are responsible for filling.

Hundreds of arrows can be fired at a time, and can be fired three times in total.

After all the arrows in the carriage have been fired, the two people responsible for filling the arrows will load the quivers that are already full of arrows into the carriage to replace the empty quivers.

(It’s the same principle as the replacement magazine of current rifles.)
"emission."

With a sound of firing, the feather arrows in the carriage were fired.

Hundreds of thousands of arrows were fired simultaneously, densely packed, leaving no gaps, just like the god of death passing through.

Tens of thousands of demon soldiers near the pass were annihilated in an instant, creating a tragic scene of mountains of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"How is this possible?!" Suan Tianhe was shocked as he didn't expect the opponent to have such a defensive weapon.

Even Yinxun Zhuwu was quite shocked, as it was the first time he witnessed the power of the Celestial Empire's weapons.

Even Bifeixiao and Wuming, who were in the gate, were greatly shocked.

"I never thought that the crossbow chariot built by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the order of Minister Mo would be so powerful. No wonder the Celestial Empire wants to strongly support the Ministry of Works."

Yajin Man on the side reminded: "General, Yinxun Zhuwu's demon soldiers are still within the range of our army's crossbow carts."

Bifei smiled and said, "No hurry, let them continue to attack the city. At this stage, if the demon soldiers want to attack the city, they must gather together. This is the distance that is most conducive to the killing of the crossbow cart. If they attack at this distance, Yinxun Zhuwu will definitely order the demon army to retreat to a safe range, which will make it difficult to kill the enemy."

War is different from fighting in the martial arts world, and it requires more coordination between armies.

Long before, Shaoyang Jun organized a group of Celestial Empire generals including Bi Feixiao and Wuming to undergo intensive military training.

Being personally taught the art of battle by Shaoyang Jun, the crown prince of the Ziyao Dynasty, Bi Feixiao and the others naturally had no complaints.

Yajinman immediately flattered him, "General, that's a good idea."

Wuming reminded: "General, after learning this lesson, the enemy will definitely think of another way to attack the city."

"Don't worry, we are well prepared."

Just as Wuming had said, the demon soldiers at the pass were holding shields and marching in formation, obviously to guard against the Celestial Empire's crossbow chariots.

Seeing this scene, Bi Feixiao laughed again and said, "Yin Xun Zhu Wu, do you think that the only weapon our Heavenly Dynasty army has is the crossbow chariot? Come on, put up the hidden fire bombs."

Following Bi Feixiao's order, the Celestial Empire defenders at the pass took out countless black iron lumps and threw them at the pile of demon soldiers below the pass.

It hit the demon soldier's shield with a dull sound, but had no effect and fell to the ground.

"Hmm, that's not right!" King Hui, one of the four kings of the demon world who led the siege, instantly realized something was wrong and used dark magic to force hundreds of demon soldiers around him to leave.

The demon soldiers who were left behind to attack the city suddenly saw a bright light before their eyes, which was the explosion of the hidden fire mines thrown by the Celestial Empire soldiers.

Under the continuous explosions, the area below Tianqing Pass instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

This wave of siege demon soldiers suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat again.

Thanks for the reward from Wu Mengsheng.
