Chapter 288 The First Taste of Defeat
"How...how could it be...it was actually the army of the Wing Clan!? What a joke...how could the army win the enemy in the air..."
He stared blankly at the thousands of warriors of the Wing Clan above the sky. Even if Long Jiu was fully prepared, he was already stunned at this time. From the 21st century, he naturally knew the overwhelming advantage of the air force over the troops on the ground! Once he had air control, it would be an unparalleled terrifying destructive power. What's more, the people of the Light Wing Clan had the power of light attributes from the beginning. As long as he exerted the power of light attributes from a large area of the air to attack, the army on the ground would undoubtedly be one living target after another! Long Jiu and the warriors of Lanling City soon experienced this!
"Prepare - Arrow of Light! Attack -!"
Looking down at the faces full of horror from the sky, the White Tiger Legion's squad leader was only cold and angry with losing more than a hundred companions! Long Jiu's cruel tactics that were not in common sense made these wing soldiers suffer considerable casualties as soon as they contacted their opponents. This was almost impossible in previous actual combat! After all, the number of opponents is only half of that of their own! Because of this, after fully showing his true identity, he also issued an offensive order to Long Jiu's army mercilessly!
"Boom boom boom boom boom--"
Watching golden light arrows cover the air from the air, although there are not many ways to attack with the power of light attributes, it is not without them! This level of magic light arrow is one of the most commonly used offensive methods. Magic arrows condensed with the magic power of light attributes can have a considerable destructive power to a certain extent. With the advantage of top-down, just one volley shot took away the lives of hundreds of Lanling City warriors, and more than 300 injured people. Only warriors with strong enough personal strength can survive this attack!
"Bastard - retreat - quick! retreat -!"
Under such circumstances, Long Jiu is certainly very clear about what the situation will be like if he continues to fight! He himself does not have the ability to fly in mid-air! The only thing that can attack the air is the Heaven-Breaking Sword produced in "Nine Swords Breaking the Sky", but facing the three thousand well-trained Wing Clan warriors, his power alone cannot play a decisive role. In desperation, he can only choose to let his troops retreat first, otherwise he will face the end of annihilation sooner or later!
However, although Long Jiu made the correct judgment, it is really difficult for him to be able to obey commands in unison when facing such emergencies...
"Damn the Wing Bastard—! Brothers, our Lanling City warriors have never been cowards! Fight with them—!"
"No - the Wing Clan has wings of the sky, we cannot be opponents, follow the prefect's orders and retreat quickly-!"
"Ah-Don't kill me-I don't want to die yet-a-"
Various reactions were expressed from these soldiers almost at the same time. The group of people who were not afraid of death shouted that they wanted to use their own means to kill the opponent in the air. The calm-headed part tried every means to escape, and the other part was not brave enough, crying and asking for forgiveness. However, no matter which reaction, in this chaotic battlefield, it was infinitely reduced, because for the angry White Tiger Legion in the air, everyone was the target of killing!
"Arrow of Light--Release!"
A cold voice came from the squad leader again. The soldiers of the well-trained White Tiger Legion once again condensed the light attribute magic in their bodies without hesitation. Thousands of golden arrows roared down from the air for the second time! Seeing that they were about to lose a large number of subordinates again, this time Long Jiu finally couldn't stand it anymore!
"Bastard - do you think I don't exist! Don't want to do it again and again in front of me! Block it - Ice and Snow Shield! Flame Shield!"
He roared up to the sky, and a red shadow and a silver shadow appeared beside Long Jiu at the same time. The two two-meter-high original elemental bodies exerted their magic power at the same time, forming a huge silver-white ice and snow shield and a huge giant shield burning with raging flames, blocking everyone's heads from the air!
"Boom boom boom boom boom--"
The combined attack of nearly 3,000 elite warriors of the White Tiger Legion with one man, the outcome was naturally obvious. The Ice and Snow Shield and Flame Shield were defeated almost at the same time. Together with the two tall original elemental bodies, they were bombarded into pieces by countless light arrows. However, it has to be said that the effect of Long Jiu's hand was still available. With two layers of guardian power, the power of the remaining light arrows did not cause the cruel result before. The Lanling City warriors who died in this round of impact were only four or five people with bad luck.
"Let me listen to them all - retreat immediately if you don't want to die! If you want to die, don't rush to die here! Go back first, I will send you to death with you! Retreat-"
He roared with all his strength and felt that the boss was really angry. The chaotic soldiers and gangsters calmed down a little, all fell silent, and began to quickly retreat in the direction they came! As long as they could retreat to the position of the Bai family army, they would be safe! After all, the Bai family army with hundreds of thousands of troops could not be defeated by only a few thousand wing soldiers. After so many years of fighting with the White Tiger Legion, the Bai family army naturally had a way to deal with these opponents flying in the air.
"Hmph - Want to run? How could it be so easy! I killed hundreds of my tribe members, and I will figure out the accounts with you in person! Open up the formation! The siege of all sides! None of the human race on the ground is allowed to let go—! The arrow of light is launched!"
He looked at the soldiers of Lanling City who were trying to escape with a sneer. The team leader obviously would not let the prey on his lips escape so easily! What's more, so many tribe members had been slaughtered by his opponent before, and he wanted to kill everyone in Lanling City!
The serious regular army is not something that Long Jiu's soldiers can fight against, let alone the serious air army. With the order of the squad leader, the nearly three thousand White Tiger Legion soldiers who were originally clustered in the air were all dispersed around. With more than twice the number of opponents, they easily surrounded more than a thousand soldiers from Lanling City, which were defeated in the air in the center, including the leading Long Jiu and Sanbao, who were unable to escape from the encirclement!
In fact, since he came to this world, Long Jiu has experienced many battles and even battles, but he has all relied on his mind from the 21st century and some luck to escape danger. He has never really failed once! Last time when he faced the Xuanwu Legion on the Xuanwu River, he defeated the opponent's 200,000 army with hundreds of subordinates, and let the Crown Prince Xuanwu use the divine power of the "Water God Fu" and take away the Xuanwu Legion's army!
And this time, because he didn't expect the opponent to have an air army at all, Long Jiu's plans and tactical arrangements were completely defeated. How could the tactics against the ground be applicable to the enemy in the air? He had no choice but to open his wings and flew in the air, at least not now! So, to be honest, this was Long Jiu's first complete defeat! And the price was probably the lives of more than a thousand Lanling City soldiers he brought...
At this time, in the Bai family army stationed on the other side of the White Tiger Plain, the ninth prince spoke to Bai Qigang in front of him with an eager look on his face: "General Bai, the army of Xiaoyao Prefect seems to be in a tough battle! Why not send troops to rescue? If the army of Xiaoyao Prefect is completely destroyed, it will probably make the morale of the Bai family army unstable! The father will also..."
"Your Highness Ninth Prince, I hope you understand one thing. The assistance from the Prefect Xiaoyao this time was proposed by Your Majesty, Your Highness Fourth Prince, Your Highness Sixth Prince and Your Highness Ninth Prince! Their main responsibility is to resist the enemy's first-mover test army! The soldiers of our Bai family army must not easily reveal their strength before they come into contact with the enemy's large forces! Therefore, the old minister's army has no obligation or ability to rescue the Prefect Xiaoyao's army... If you send troops rashly, it will violate the tactical arrangements of the two princes, and the plan to lure the White Tiger Legion will be ruined... Here, we can only temporarily believe in the combat capabilities of the Prefect Xiaoyao, and hope that he can at least block the White Tiger Legion's pioneer army..."
Before the Ninth Prince finished speaking, Bai Qigang, who had a silent face, had already interrupted his questioning with a deep expression. With a deep face, he looked at the golden raindrop attack that kept whistling down the horizon in the distance. He didn't know what he was thinking, but as he said, the Bai family army now has no obligation and no plan to save Long Jiu's army! Just like the first march of the White Tiger Legion, Long Jiu's army sent out, too
