Ruins of the past

Except for Chu Qiguang, who was alone in the team, the others all brought their warriors, totaling more than fifty people.

The person in charge of leading the team is Jiang Xusheng, the Taoist seed. He is powerful and experienced. He is also a direct descendant of Song Qianhu's subordinates and has easy access to the Tianshi Sect and the garrison.

At this moment, he was talking to Chu Qiguang, Han Wenshao and others: "...the actual number of troops attacking Zhennan Fort is only two thousand, and most of them are new soldiers."

"Song Qianhu, Han Fuqianhu, and the great masters of Daogang Division are not here with us."

"Regardless of military strength or experts, our troops are the weakest among the three."

"Our mission is to hold off Jie Zun and Wu Mingzi, and wait for the other two troops to win and then come back."

"As for the abilities of Wu Mingzi and Jie Zun..."

Jiang Xusheng once again emphasized the combat mission to Chu Qiguang, Han Wenshao and others, and introduced the intelligence of Jie Zun and Wu Mingzi.

Afterwards, Jiang Xusheng took them to see the troops from the Tianshi Sect heading to Zhennan Fort. They were led by five Taoist priests, among whom there was actually an acquaintance of Chu Qiguang.

Zhang Fengyun from Bafu Taoist Temple is half of Hao Xiangtong's master.

Seeing Chu Qiguang, Zhang Fengyun was slightly surprised, walked up and said, "I didn't expect you to come here too? You are a man who dares to do anything with Jie Jiao."

When the Jie Cult was mentioned, Zhang Fengyun gritted her teeth.

The last time the five types of demons from the Jie Sect attacked Ba Mansion, Li Yaofeng even descended on her Taoist temple.

After a great battle, her Taoist temple was set on fire several times, and many people inside and outside the Taoist temple went crazy because of the aftermath of Li Yaofeng's Taoism, which can be said to have caused heavy losses.

In the next six months, Jie Cult believers came to Ba Mansion from time to time to cause trouble, disturbing the peace of the Taoist temple.

So this time, Zhang Fengyun came over immediately when she knew that she was going to fight against the Jie Sect.

After Chu Qiguang greeted her, he looked at the Tianshi Sect's team and asked, "Hao Xiangtong isn't here, is he?"

Hao Xiangtong was Chu Qiguang's favorite candidate for Taoism, and he was worried that he would be damaged on the battlefield.

"She has great potential, how could I be willing to take her to the battlefield."

Zhang Fengyun looked at Chu Qiguang and said, "You have to work harder. Hao Xiangtong is the most talented young man I have seen in these years. I am afraid you will be surpassed by her in the future."

Shuzhou is already considered remote to the Central Plains. Bafu is a remote place in Shuzhou.

Zhang Fengyun has been busy rebuilding Taoist temples and dealing with Jie sect believers in the past six months. It seems that she still doesn't know what Chu Qiguang did in Lingzhou.

Chu Qiguang smiled and said, "I hope she can become a Taoist."

Zhang Fengyun's eyes lit up after hearing this: "You are good at accepting women who are better than you. You are much more pleasing to the eye than other men in the Demon Suppression Division."

In addition to Zhang Fengyun, the other four Taoist priests who led the team were also abbots of different Taoist temples, and they brought all the paper talismans and talismans.

However, during their conversation, although they were full of hostility towards the Tribulation Sect, their fighting spirit was not that strong. It was obvious that they had made up their minds to delay the fight and had not thought about fighting to the death.

The group of people advanced slowly with the army, and suddenly there was a roar of beasts from the cliffs on both sides.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of beast roars became continuous, and it seemed that the demon country's army had already surrounded them.

Jiang Xusheng said solemnly: "They took the initiative."

I saw monsters appearing in the front and rear directions of the army. There was an instant commotion in the army formation, and it was only after the generals suppressed it that it stabilized.

Jiang Xusheng said: "Let's form a defensive formation with the army and don't take the initiative to attack."

Although Zhang Fengyun wanted to rush out and kill all the monsters, she also knew that her troops were not strong enough, so she agreed to Jiang Xusheng's arrangement.

Next, the army of the imperial court formed a defensive formation, and the army of the demon country roared and surrounded them from front to back.

As the distance gradually narrowed, archers from both sides fired at each other.

Scattered arrows shot up from the imperial army. It was obvious that there were no elite archers among these recruits.

The arrows shot into the demon country's army without causing much ripples. Most of them were blocked by the monsters' fur and flesh.

The demon army on the other side fired back, and the arrows were also sparse. Moreover, the quality of the crossbows in their hands was rough, and their range was worse than that of the humans.

After a round of shooting, not many people on both sides were killed, but the demon country's army was like a wave, slamming into the human army formation.

In the blink of an eye, shouts of killing rose into the sky, and soldiers and horses from both sides were strangled together.

The demon clan's individual strength is stronger, but they have different body shapes and different equipment. A few are in human form, and most are still in animal form.

Some of them are weapons and armor that the monsters stole from humans, and some are inferior weapons made by themselves in the mountains. There are also many monsters that don't even wear equipment, but they have their own fangs and claws.

This army of the demon country basically rushed over like a herd of beasts and started fighting.

Although the average physical strength of the human race is not as good as that of the demon clan, and they were quite panicked at first, they still managed to maintain their formation under the pressure of the generals and blocked the demon army's offensive.

The battle became heated at the beginning, with people or monsters constantly being stabbed through the body, having their heads smashed, and their limbs chopped off.

The chaotic battlefield is like a meat grinder, constantly consuming the lives of both sides.

Chu Qiguang looked at the chaos of thousands of people and took a deep breath. He seemed to smell the strong smell of blood.

‘This kind of war is also very dangerous for the warriors of the Five Realms. ’

‘A battle involving thousands of people is already like this. If it is a battlefield of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, and there are various masters mixed in... Even if I am involved now, I am afraid that I will be in danger. ’

Just when the battlefield entered a stalemate, a burst of fire shot into the sky and instantly burned a row of human soldiers into human-shaped torches.

Amidst the screams, a man fell to the ground and rolled wildly. The defense line here was instantly breached, and more than a dozen monsters rushed in.

Jiang Xusheng's eyes narrowed: "He is a demon from the Jie Sect. He can control fire and break formations. I am afraid he is a Wumingzi."

Then there was another heart-stopping beast roar, and a monster over five meters tall, with a mixture of lions, tigers, leopards, cows and other beasts rushing over.

The monster was like a chariot, crashing into the crowd with a roar. The shields were shattered as it passed, and the soldiers were knocked away more than ten meters.

Under the raging monsters, ordinary soldiers were powerless to resist, and the military formation was instantly defeated.

In the other direction, lightning flashed continuously.

I saw a person rising from the ground, his whole body wrapped in lightning, like a thunder god holding lightning, and whipping the lightning out like a whip.

Swords, shields, and armor were useless against such an attack. Several soldiers were ejected with almost a flash of lightning.

As Jie Sect Wu Mingzi charged into the formation, the human army showed faint signs of defeat.

Jiang Xusheng and Zhang Fengyun immediately rushed forward with their masters, trying to contain Wu Mingzi.

Chu Qiguang followed them and did not take action immediately. He stroked the Tianzhan Sword at his waist, and his eyes kept wandering on the battlefield, looking for the trace of Lord Jie.

With a loud bang, Han Wenshao was knocked away by the monster and fell next to Chu Qiguang covered in blood.

At the same time, the five-meter-tall monster formed by the fusion of countless beasts also looked at Chu Qiguang's position, roared and rushed over.
