Chapter 404 Counterattack
ps: (Thanks to the rewards from my friend ad5432! Today's second update is delivered!)
Liu Qingchuan's words were immediately approved by most of the disciples of the Demon Soul Peak. Even those who had prejudices against him, such as Jiang Chen, Wan Liang, Bu Zheng, etc., had to admit that there was indeed a great chance of success in doing so.
"Okay! Since the peak master said that! Then do it!" Chi Ming, Yang Kai, Lu Jie and others even agreed in unison.
"Does anyone have any objections?" Liu Qingchuan turned his head and looked at Jiang Chen and others.
Bu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Master Feng, who was the first attacking force during the attack?"
He also asked this question very well. If Liu Qingchuan asked him and others to rush to the forefront, he would probably be able to immediately judge that Liu Qingchuan had bad intentions and wanted them to be cannon fodder.
Wan Liang and Wang Qian immediately turned their attention to Liu Qingchuan to see how he answered.
"Of course my troops and I will go first!" Liu Qingchuan replied unexpectedly.
"Ah! Master of the Peak! You are the backbone of the entire army. It's too dangerous to rush to the front line! The enemy's spirit stone cannons don't have eyes!" Chi Ming and others persuaded with worried expressions.
Liu Qingchuan said with a righteous look at this time: "As the master of the peak, I should naturally rush to the front! Don't worry! I, Liu Qingchuan, are definitely the first to break into the enemy's position! My body refiner unit will also be the first to recover the enemy's pass!"
After saying that, he waved forward and shouted loudly: "Attack! Brothers, come with me!"
Then, Liu Qingchuan drew out his long sword and turned into a ray of light and headed towards the mountain. The confidants around him hesitated for a moment and followed.
And those ordinary disciples and body refiners, seeing that their peak masters were leading the way to regain their lost land, were all excited and howled and rushed to the front mountain.
"Maybe, we thought Liu Qingchuan too badly? Although he had been against us in the past, he still had a rare courage at this critical moment that was related to the survival of the sect?" Wan Liang asked with some difficulty seeing this.
"Let's follow up first! The current situation is no longer a mistake. If Liu Qingchuan is defeated again, there will be no enough troops to defend the back mountain!" Jiang Chen thought for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.
Wan Liang, Bu Zheng, Wang Qian and others nodded, and then followed them to kill them.
I don’t know if it was Liu Qingchuan’s predictions or the people from the Blood Shadow Sect were too arrogant. After capturing many passes in the front mountain, they were extremely proud. They neither took advantage of the victory to pursue, nor consolidated their defenses to repair the damaged fortifications in the front mountain. Instead, they plundered in the city.
Some people gather the bodies of prisoners and those who died in battle to facilitate the sucking of flesh and blood and increase their own cultivation.
Some people raped the captive female disciples of the Demon Sect and set fire to the house.
The most outrageous thing is that the passes near the back mountain are not even closed.
As a result, with the angry disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect counterattacking, the previous passes were recaptured by Liu Qingchuan in a moment. Dozens of disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect were killed and injured, and most of the rest were defeated and fled in a panic, which made Jiang Chen and others unable to satisfy them.
In just three hours, the army of the Heavenly Demon Sect reached Shiziping.
Shiziping in the front mountain is a three-way intersection. One road leads to the main peak of the front mountain, the other road leads to the south side of Qingmu Mountain controlled by the Blood Shadow Gate, and the last one leads to the back mountain controlled by the Tianmo Sect.
The disciples of Demon Soul Peak came here. Seeing discarded weapons and clothes everywhere along the way, as well as the two forks in front of them, they couldn't help but stop because they didn't know which one to go.
"Master Peak, what should we do now? The road ahead is divided!"
"Yes! One goes to the main peak and the other goes to Shannan, but it seems that the defeated soldiers from the Blood Shadow Sect retreat on both roads!"
Liu Qingchuan, Jiang Chen and other senior executives of the Demon Soul Peak also arrived at the intersection.
After a few people looked at the situation on the roadside, Liu Qingchuan's eyes flashed: "Now we can only divide the troops into two groups and pursue the enemy separately! We will attack the main peak one after another to regain the occupied front mountain position. The other side needs to cover up and kill to the south side of Qingmu Mountain to prevent the enemy from reinforcements or counterattacking, and create time for the brothers who seized the main peak..."
After saying that, he suggested to Jiang Chen: "Junior Brother Jiang, you and me are the two with the highest cultivation and status on the Demon Soul Peak. How about we two be responsible for the whole procession?"
After hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed for a moment, then Fang blinked and said, "Senior Brother Liu's advice is good, but I just don't know where to go?"
Liu Qingchuan laughed and said, "For Liu, whether it is going to the main peak or the southern foot, it is the same thing. If you are a senior brother, you can't compete with your junior brother. Junior Brother Jiang, you can choose first!"
When Jiang Chen heard this, Fang Wang looked at the direction of the main peak and said, "I think that after regaining the front mountain position, I think that the barrier can protect Qingmu Mountain. Therefore, whether the main peak can be in my hands will be the first important thing. Since the senior brother asked me to choose first, Jiang chose to attack the front mountain main peak! I wonder if the senior brother is willing?"
"Haha, then I'll be Junior Brother Yijiang! But..." Liu Qingchuan said with a slight smile at this time: "Now our army has suffered heavy losses. If the enemy attacks in large numbers, the only ones who are senior brothers will probably not be able to stop it for a long time. Junior Brother must speed up the attack speed! Otherwise, if the enemy breaks through my defense line, it will threaten the rear of your troops..."
"Let's do this! Senior Brother Liu, how many days can you stand it?" After hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression slightly darkened, and then asked in a deep voice.
"Three days! If you can't take down the main peak in three days and wipe out the enemies in the peak, then it's best to evacuate quickly, otherwise you may be attacked by the enemy on both sides!" Liu Qingchuan said this and paused, "In my opinion, Junior Brother Jiang might as well hand over the task of attacking the main peak to Brother Wei. Liu is still somewhat sure of capturing the main peak in three days!"
When Wan Liang and Bu Zheng heard this, they looked at each other, and then quietly sent a message to Jiang Chen: "Senior Brother Jiang, why don't you listen to Liu Qingchuan and stop the enemies coming from the south. Even if the enemy is powerful and cannot stop them, we can retreat to the back mountain. And if we attack the main peak, if Liu Qingchuan is defeated and the enemy comes from behind us, everyone will be finished!"
When Jiang Chen heard this, he smiled slightly, and then replied: "I will explain this matter to you slowly. Now I can only tell you that if we take on the task of blocking the enemy reinforcements, we may die faster!"
After hearing this, Wan Liang and Bu Zheng looked at each other and showed disbelief. But at this time, Jiang Chen nodded to Liu Qingchuan and said, "Okay! Senior Brother Liu, I agree! Jiang has tried to build the main peak in three days! Recover the front mountain in one fell swoop!"
After seeing him persuading this, Jiang Chen still insisted on attacking the main peak, and his expression changed slightly. However, it was not easy to repent in front of so many people when he said it, so he had to snort coldly, "Then I hope Junior Brother Jiang will do what he said! If you can't get it for three days, I'm afraid the sect leader will not be able to explain it!"
At this time, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Let's continue chasing south!"
After saying that, he and Yang Kai, Chi Ming and others led their subordinates to the south of Qingmu Mountain.
After watching Liu Qingchuan's men leave, Jiang Chen pointed to the mountain road leading to the main peak of Qianshan: "Let's rush too!"
Immediately, he led more than 1,000 monks and more than 30,000 body refiners to the main peak...
After jogging all the way to the main peak of the front mountain, Jiang Chen and his party took a breath of air conditioning. A very magnificent castle appeared in front of them. It was built on the mountain, and the entire city stretched along the mountain. The walls were high and thick, forming an artificial barrier of hundreds of feet wide, completely closing the uphill road to the top of the main peak. Unless you can grow wings and fly over, you will not be able to capture the main peak for a day without conquering this castle for a day.
"Senior Brother Jiang, this is the largest pass Red Stone Fort in front of the main peak of the mountain in front of Qingmu Mountain. It is also the only way to the top of the mountain. If you can capture this fort, you can successfully kill the main peak." Wan Liang introduced.
Jiang Chen nodded, and he carefully looked at the road up the mountain. Only then did he understand why this castle was called Red Stone Castle.
I saw that whether it was the roadbed up the mountain, the walls and rocks, they were all composed of red stones and soil. Even the streams rushing in the canyon on the left were a faint red because they flowed through the red rocks.
Jiang Chen walked a few steps on the mountain road and looked at the Red Stone Fort, which was less than a hundred feet away from him. He saw that on the left was a towering mountain wall and on the right was a deep abyss. The mountain road was very narrow and steep, and he could only barely pass by three people side by side. It was really a momentum of one man as a pass and ten thousand man not open. On the wall of this castle, many monks in red armor were watching them nervously.
"It seems that the enemy is already prepared and the city gate is closed. They should have received news that our army has counterattacked and the loss of the front." Bu Zheng frowned.
"Well! That should be the case!" Jiang Chen thought for a while, and Fang said to Wan Liang: "Junior Brother Wan, you lead two 1,000 qi-refining cultivators from the team to test the attack and see how strong the enemy is."
Wan Liang nodded and immediately took the order and left.
After a moment, the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect shouted and shouted to the sky, and rushed towards the city wall with the cheers of the war drums.
At this moment, a burly man in red armor was standing on the city wall, looking at the cultivator of the Heavenly Demon Sect who was coming like a tide.
He is Zheng Haosong, the Blood Shadow Gate guarding the main peak of Qianshan.
Zheng Haosong looked ahead, and a trace of fierce light flashed in his eyes and said, "The Heavenly Demon Sect dares to counterattack Red Stone Castle? He is completely overestimating his ability. Since you want to die so much, I will send you to hell!"
