Chapter 270 Beheading
The arrival of the priest instantly reversed the situation. Tang San was no longer in a state of complete victory, but had to face two Titled Douluo of level 97 at the same time. Moreover, Qianjun Jiangmo were brothers, and the two of them cooperated very well and it was seamless. Tang San could only passively parry.
Outside the pass, Xue Beng was very excited when he saw Jialing Pass in front of him. After paying a huge price in casualties, they finally broke into the pass. This was a good opportunity for him to take Jialing Pass. When he proposed a general attack, Yu Xiaogang immediately objected.
"Your Majesty, you cannot."
"The current situation is unclear. The Spirit Empire has reinforcements coming, and there are many Title Douluo. We must not rush in rashly, otherwise we may be ambushed."
After Yu Xiaogang's persuasion, Xue Beng began to hesitate. No matter what, he still had to consider Yu Xiaogang's opinion. It was Yu Xiaogang who had been making plans since the war began.
Xue Xing, who was standing by, noticed his hesitation and advised, "Your Majesty, we can't afford to delay. The opportunity to fight is fleeting, and no one knows if this is the only chance."
Xue Xing's words made Xue Beng no longer hesitate. They really could not afford to delay any longer. The army had suffered such a huge loss. If they could not take Jialing Pass today, then the war with the Wuhun Empire would inevitably turn into a protracted tug-of-war.
There was not much difference in the military strength of the two sides, and the Wuhun Empire had an advantage in terms of soul masters. Now they had finally managed to attack Jialing Pass, and this was also the weakest time for the Wuhun Empire. If they could not take Jialing Pass at this time, then they really didn't know when they could attack Jialing Pass again.
Moreover, their logistical pressure was too great. After the previous poisoning incident, their food and supplies became even more insufficient.
The soldiers were not clear about this, but he knew that their food supplies were gradually running out, and no new food supplies were being transported from the rear. There was really no grain to be collected. After all, the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom was not mainly based on grain production, and the main grain producing areas of the Tiandou Empire were occupied by the Wuhun Empire and the Shenghun Empire.
The food of the Xingluo Empire cannot be transported here, and people still need to eat. After all, it is an army of millions. How much food and fodder will be consumed by people and horses in a day.
Yu Xiaogang also saw Xue Beng's inner thoughts, and he knew that Xue Beng had been convinced by Xue Xing.
It is true that they do not have much food and supplies left, and they cannot delay for long. However, the problem is that reinforcements from the Wuhun Empire have already arrived. If they launch a general attack now, they will definitely be ambushed and suffer greater casualties, and may even lead to the failure of a normal war.
He wanted to persuade her again, but Xue Beng raised his hand to stop him.
No matter what, Xue Beng is the emperor. He is now determined to do what he wants and Yu Xiaogang cannot persuade him at all.
"I know you are right, but this war concerns the revival of the empire and its survival. I don't have much choice."
After saying that, Xue Beng drew his sword and pointed it at Jialing Pass.
"All troops attack, and take Jialing Pass at all costs."
Yu Xiaogang sighed and said nothing more.
As the marching horn sounded, the Tiandou army launched a general attack. Tang San in the city was stunned after hearing the horn. Now the situation in the city is very unfavorable to the Tiandou army. What they should do at this time is to withdraw, not attack.
Even Tang San couldn't help but curse Xue Beng for being stupid at this moment.
Just as the Tiandou army attacked Jialing Pass, the entrance they came from was suddenly blocked, and a raging flame ignited. A large number of soldiers were directly burned to death by the flames. At this time, they realized that they were ambushed.
At the same time, a large number of soul masters from the Wuhun Empire appeared. These soul masters were basically brought by Golden Crocodile Douluo and his men. A huge blue phoenix also appeared in the sky. The appearance of Blue Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo and Light Wing Douluo directly blocked the retreat of the Tiandou army entering the city.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong were also shocked when they saw the three people. These three people were very powerful and it was not easy to deal with them. In the air.
Emperor Yuan overlooked the battlefield below. From where he could see the entire situation of Jialing Pass.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how miserable." Emperor Yuan shook his head. The Tiandou army in the city was completely slaughtered unilaterally, falling down in large numbers.
People inside the city could not leave, and people outside the city could not enter. The commander's wrong order led to the deaths of countless soldiers. The order was issued by the emperor, which means that no one would be held responsible for this mistake. At most, the emperor would admit his mistake after the war.
Of course, the premise is that Avalanche can survive today. The target of the decapitation operation set by Jin Yu and his men is Avalanche. However, all the Titled Douluo on the Tian Dou side are on the front line now, and Avalanche has no powerful spirit master to protect him.
The current situation is very unfavorable to the Tiandou army. Yu Xiaogang hurriedly persuaded Xue Beng to call off the troops, otherwise it would be too late.
Xue Beng listened to the advice this time. He had no choice but to listen. If he didn't listen again, everything would be over.
As the horn of retreat sounded, those soldiers who had not yet entered the city began to retreat, and those who had already entered the city were also trying to find ways to break out. The bodies of the dead soldiers of the Tiandou army piled up into a mountain, and at this moment, the two priests Qingluan and Xiongshi had already started fighting with Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
However, they were all very confused. The strength of these two people was both at level 97. There was no need for them to join forces when fighting them. Even Yu Xiaogang was confused.
Although his strength was only level 29, he could see that these two were too conservative when fighting Chen Xin and the others. They did not use their full strength at all, and they did not look like they were going to get rid of Chen Xin and the others.
The eighth soul skill [Beasts Bow] released by Lion Douluo controlled many soul masters, and what they did was just like diverting attention and delaying time.
Soon, he realized something was wrong.
"not good!"
Yu Xiaogang turned back quickly, but it was too late.
An invisible arrow had pierced Xue Xing's throat and hit Avalanche. The arrow was silent and difficult to detect. Moreover, there were no powerful soul masters here. Xue Xing died on the spot and was still a little unbelievable when he fell to the ground.
He didn't understand why he died like this. Who killed him?
Xue Beng was shot through the shoulder by an arrow. If Xue Xing had not been shot first, he would have been the one to die.
The soldiers around him reacted the moment Avalanche fell to the ground, and they rushed over to protect Avalanche.
Guangling Douluo felt a little regretful. He originally could have killed both of them with this arrow, but he didn't expect that he only killed Xue Xing and missed the main target.
Xue Beng endured the severe pain and looked at Xue Xing who was lying there. Now he was completely dazed and his mind was blank.
Yu Xiaogang was the first to react and quickly ordered people to take Avalanche away. Liu Erlong, Flanders, Zhao Wuji and others also discovered the situation of the formation. Because he was worried about Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong rushed there desperately, and Flanders and Zhao Wuji followed closely behind.
