Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1393 - 23: Absolute Heaven and Earth · Battle of Cultivators (Part 1)_4

This level of barbarian general can at most use a small flying boat, which can probably only carry five to twenty people, and its altitude is limited, not exceeding a kilometer.

He also needs to take the Mechanical Master who built it along, otherwise it can't fly far at all.

"The enemy is determined to take this city to cross the river. They are attacking on three sides, and we don't know how many tens of thousands of them there are. We only have six thousand people in the city. Can we hold them off?" This barbarian deputy general started having other thoughts.

But out of fear and faith in the Jiuyou God, he suppressed the fear in his heart and issued orders.

"Fire archers, prepare!"

"Release!"

The barbarian general took advantage of the moment when his side's magic witch began casting spells, releasing arrows with the wind, mainly aiming at the sails of the Breakthrough Battle Car.

But this was of no use, because the 'sail' material forged by Wang Ji had a very high ignition point, and ordinary fire couldn't set it ablaze.

The spell fire could work, but the problem was that Zhao Xing was also using wind spells, so the fire couldn't even drift over and would only blow back, harming their own people.

Now Tianshui City is being attacked on three sides, and the cultivators distributed on each side are simply not enough. Apart from those already granted the [Heaven and Earth Protection], others' spells only work inside the city.

"Boom!"

The sound of a collision startled the barbarian general. He looked towards the city wall and saw a battle car's battering ram already pressed against the wall, beginning to gleam.

What he did not know was that on the other side, Zhao Xing was already considering whether to abandon the attack.

Because the news from the other two sides wasn't good; if the casualties were too heavy, or if it dragged on too long and the 39,000-strong Nine Nether Army that was pursuing them caught up, it would be a big problem.

By then they would have to fight with their backs to the water, which went against his original intention of fighting a guerilla war.

"Messenger, ask Xia Jing on the west how long it will take to capture the city?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes!" The messenger was a Mechanical Master from the Wuliang Ju Ziliu, he closed his eyes and quickly responded to Zhao Xing. "Sir, General Xia said it would be at least four hours before there's hope for a breakthrough on the west side."

"What about General Liao's north side?"

"Two hours."

Zhao Xing estimated and found that he was the luckiest, as the east side he commanded was the weakest defended by the enemy.

Currently, twenty Breakthrough Battle Cars have already started damaging the city wall's array, and the enemy's reinforcement speed is clearly slower than the breaking speed.

In about three quarters of an hour, the eastern city wall would be bare without defenses. Once the city wall's array fails, the difficulty of the attack would be greatly reduced.

Under the Divine Might Army, there's a Mechanical Cannon camp, which can be considered a big weapon inside the Absolute Heaven and Earth forbidden zone.

A long time ago, Zhao Xing suggested to Ji Che to suppress realms during the six-part meetings, and ever since, some big weapons in the Absolute Heaven and Earth had also been put on the research agenda.

For instance, Wang Ji from the Divine Might Army developed a device called [Divine Might Cannon], its materials are ordinary and have nothing to do with spells, yet its power is astonishing.

The Jiuyou God sent Youyun, Zang He, and Hou Sen, three cultivator armies totaling more than 30,000 people (excluding some small local troops) to encircle the Ten Suns Army, not without reason, as this army is much more effective against the Southern Barbarian army in the Absolute Heaven and Earth than other local armies.

This is because Zhao Xing originally took the Ten Suns Army as a pilot army, and it was the earliest to practice against the Absolute Heaven and Earth's imagined enemy.

"Tell Xia Jing and Liao Rulong that if Tianshui City can't be taken in two hours, retreat immediately and we'll cross the river in another direction." Zhao Xing shouted towards the messenger.

"Yes!"

...

Time passed, and nine Breakthrough Battle Cars were successively destroyed, but the light on the city wall also grew weaker and weaker.

Finally, after three quarters of an hour, the city wall became dull and colorless, each brick turning an earth-gray, losing its luster.

The city wall barrier disappeared!

"Finally broke through!" Zhao Xing let out a long sigh of relief. If it were some other place, a seventh-grade witch city like this, its array would only be of an intermediate level, and could easily be breached.

But here, wanting to break it was remarkably slow.

"First Mechanical Cannon camp, fire!"

Rumble~

Large-scale explosions began on and within the city wall, flames surged, and the immense noise instantly boosted morale.

"First Fire Bow camp, second camp, shoot!"

"Sky-breaking Flying Boat, Zhao Chuanzong, load the Breaking God Crossbow onto the Sky-breaking Flying Boat, take it airborne, focus on taking down seventh-grade threats!"

"First Camp prepare, follow me..."

While issuing orders, Zhao Chuanzong suddenly tugged at Zhao Xing.

Zhao Chuanzong was a Cavalry Hundred Generals; he was of no use in a siege battle, so he acted as the right-hand man to Zhao Xing, his big brother.

"Why are you pulling me?"

Zhao Chuanzong hesitated, "Big brother, the Cloud Flying Boat is prepared for you, it's not meant for combat, General Xia said it's only for you to use to break through..."

In the Absolute Heaven and Earth, the energy core of the flying boat became elemental crystal, but it also turned into a fragile item, if it charged into the city it might get destroyed.

The Ten Suns Army has few small flying boats, with just fifty in the whole army, and only four medium ones, which are the Sky-breaking Flying Boats.

Among the small flying boats, they only have the ability to fly low distances, but the medium-sized Sky-breaking Flying Boats can fly long distances.

"Nonsense! Call me Grand Minister of Agriculture!" Zhao Xing kicked Zhao Chuanzong away, "Which is bigger, Grand Minister of Agriculture or General Xia? Follow my orders, take to the sky. I never thought about running away alone!"

Zhao Xing's voice was loud and clear, everyone saw and heard.

In fact, Mr. Zhao knew this thing was just a psychological comfort. With the Jiuyou God's massive sweep, it would be difficult to escape even with this; otherwise, he would have fled back to Great Zhou long ago.
