Early the next morning, Huang Yongxing, who was completely angry, finally led the monks to launch a strong attack. He led more than 30 foundation-building cultivators and more than 100 Qi-refining cultivators with flying magic weapons to fly from the air to the salt hill, preparing to destroy the enemy's catapult troops and clear obstacles for his own crossing of the river.

But he never expected that Jiang Chen had deployed so many troops here. After seeing them appearing in the air, he also sent as many monks to fly into the sky to fight in a melee. What made the monks of the Corpse Yin Sect even more frightened was that there were spirit stone cannons on the ground fired at them. Not only did they have to deal with the enemies in the sky, but they also had to be prepared for attacks on the ground. In this way, with one mind and two uses, how could they beat enemies whose number and combat power were not lower than theirs?

After a whole day of air combat, the defenders of the Tianmo Sect had defeated the attacking troops of the Ziyin Sect, killed more than 20 Foundation Establishment Cultivators and more than 60 Qi Refining Cultivators. He only paid less than one-third of the enemy's casualties.

The helpless Huang Yongxing had to return to his central army camp and apologize to Yan Nantian.

Yan Nantian frowned and listened to him talk about the attack process, but did not blame him too much, because in this case, even he had no better way.

He then decided to go to the river bank to observe the situation of the enemy and the river with Ma Guoqiang and Huang Yongxing. Then he then seek countermeasures.

After carefully observing the situation on the other side of the river, the three of them unanimously determined that the army on the other side was a well-trained army, and from the perspective of military appearance and defense rigor, their combat effectiveness will never be inferior to the main force of the Ziyin Sect. It is indeed not easy to defeat it head-on.

Yan Nantian had a gloomy face and focused on the river again, hoping to find a shallow water and narrow river surface. A suitable place for crossing the river to go around and cross the river.

However, the situation is obviously not very optimistic. The Yanqiu Ferry is obviously the smoothest and narrowest part of the river. Whether upstream or downstream, the river surface is much wider and the water flow is very fast, so the risk of crossing the river from other places is greater.

After observing for a long time, Yan Nantian suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Elder Ma, Elder Huang, have you noticed that the water level of this river seems to be relatively low!"

After hearing this, Ma Guoqiang looked carefully for a while, Fang nodded and said, "No, right! The water level is indeed lower than usual, at least more than one meter lower!"

"Maybe it's because it's winter, there's too little precipitation!" Huang Yongxing withdrew his gaze at this time, and then asked in confusion: "But even if the river water has dropped a lot, it's at least two meters deep. I'm afraid it won't work if I want to wade through the river."

"Haha! Elder Huang, of course it would not work if he just wades in this way. But what if the river water is only half a foot deep?" Yan Nantian glanced at the river bank and laughed.

"This... please forgive Huang Mou Yulu, how could the river water drop by more than one meter at once?" Huang Yongxing became even more confused after hearing this.

"The enemy can hit us with a catapult. We can also hit us with a catapult!" Yan Nantian said with a smile.

"But... we are in the wind, and the terrain is low and we can't hit the enemy on the hill!" Ma Guoqiang was also a little stunned after hearing this.

"Who said I want to attack the enemy on the hill?" Yan Nantian sneered: "Although our catapult cannot hit the hill, it can throw stones into the river from the enemy's range. As long as we raise the river mattress to the extent that soldiers can wade across the river, we can no longer use rafts to cross the river."

After pausing, he stared at the river. Then he continued, "If thousands of troops wade through the river directly, even if each of the enemy's catapults hits us, how many people can they defeat us? As long as our large troops reach the other side, will that small hill that is only more than a hundred feet high be captured in a short time?"

Huang Yongxing and Ma Guoqiang were overjoyed after hearing this and praised their sect leader for being extremely wise and awakened the dreamer with one word.

The two soon organized people to go to the raft wood to make trenchers, and search for huge rocks, preparing to launch a new attack.

The construction of trenchers and the collection of huge stones that were enough to fill the riverbed was quite large. Although the army of the Ziyin Sect had nearly 300,000 people, it took them three days. It was not until the morning of the fourth day that they re-launched the attack under the opening of hundreds of simple trenchers.

These temporarily made catapults slowly drove to a place more than 30 feet away from the river bank. Then they stopped. Huang Yongxing waved his hand enthusiastically and said, "Target - the center of the river! One, two, three! Start casting the catapults!"

With his command, hundreds of huge rocks rose into the air, then drew an arc in the air, accurately falling into the river, making a loud "pop" sound, splashing huge splashes.

"Hey, why are the enemy stupid? I threw the stone into the water. I thought they wanted to throw it on our heads." Wan Liang was also stunned when he saw the actions of the monks of the Corpse Yin Sect.

"They are not stupid. They know that on the wind and low-lying river banks, the trenchers are impossible to fight against us, so they still put their ideas on crossing the river." Jiang Chen glanced at the center of the river at this time, and then said lightly: "If I was right, they wanted to use huge rocks to raise the river mattress to make the river water shallow, so that ordinary body refiners and those Qi Refining Cultivators who do not have flying magic weapons can also wade across the river. In this way, no matter how accurate our trenchers are, they will not be able to kill all the monks crossing the river. Once they cross the river, they can use the human sea tactics to submerge our troops."

After hearing this, Wang Zihan smiled and said, "But that wouldn't it be the case that Brother Jiang's idea? The shallower the water will rise, the more violent it will rise, and the greater the destructive power it will cause!"

After hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "Yes! I didn't expect Yan Nantian to use this trick, which was a bit beyond my expectations. I thought he would take a detour across the river. In this way, the troops I arranged at the upstream and downstream of the ferry were useless. However, this is good. I believe that after the launch, Yan Nantian's army will be reduced by at least one-third."

"Well! Then I'll inform my sister-in-law now!" Wang Zi smiled with a pursed lips.

"Sister-in-law?" Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard this.

"It's Shui Yuening, the second lady of the Shui family! The monks from Xiangyang said that you are the son-in-law of the Shui family! And they gathered all the eldest lady and second lady of the family. Now many brothers envy you for enjoying the blessings of all people!" Wan Liang smiled and explained hurriedly.

When Jiang Chen heard this, he was angry and funny and said, "You two don't know what the engagement between me and the Shui sisters is. I have explained it to you a long time ago, and you are still making fun of me here. Be careful that the battle is over, and I will arrange for you two to go back to Wunan City to defend the city!"

Wan Liang and Wang Zihan both wished that they could rush to the front line to kill the enemy and avenge their dead brothers. What they were most worried about was being left behind to do a painless work. After hearing what Jiang Chen said, although he knew that he was joking, he was afraid that he would make such arrangements in anger. Therefore, he had to shut up quickly and remind the body refiners who controlled the stone casting car to pay close attention to the enemy's actions.

About an hour later, a shallow water channel about twenty meters wide and only half a meter deep was filled with a section of the Xianyuan River at the Yanqiu Ferry.

Seeing this, Huang Yongxing was overjoyed and immediately waved his weapon and shouted: "Attack!" Then he personally led about 100,000 physical refiners to rush quickly to the other side of the river.

When Wan Liang saw the enemy launching another attack, he waved his hand down with force and ordered: "Continue to throw stones at the enemy crossing the river, and fire the spirit stone cannons. The archers are ready to fire and start shooting after the enemy enters the range!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Tiger rocks attacked from the air like raindrops to the army of the Corpse Yin Sect that was wading across the Xianyuan River, and the spirit stone cannon also spat out sparks.

On the riverbed, explosions and screams came one after another, and the body refiners of the Yin Sect who were smashed and flew everywhere, and were overturned by the army of the Heavenly Demon Sect, suffered huge casualties.

However, in the face of the huge casualties of his subordinates, Yan Nantian did not agree at all. In his opinion, the body refiners were originally cannon fodder troops, and no matter how many deaths were, they would not have to be heartbroken. They could use secular gold and silver to get it. This is also the reason why he did not let the monks enter the battle during the attack. He planned to use the monks only when he chased the enemy after capturing the hills.
