Chapter 101: Double-Pronged Attack! (Seeking First Subscription, Bros!)
At dawn, the sun rose from the east, illuminating this majestic pass.
The war horn echoed atop the majestic pass, and the Cangzhou Army moved silently in the morning light.
At this time, because the defending army of Jade Splendid Pass had previously been subjected to repeated attacks by equipment such as the 'Breaking Gang Crossbow', 'Splitting Gang Arrow', and the 'Smashing Qi Crossbow Arrow'...
Sun Wukong, White Tiger, and others, who had not appeared in the siege forces for several days, reappeared in the Cangzhou Army.
In the morning light, the figures of these few war gods appeared especially mighty.
They stood in the ranks of the siege army, their gazes fixed firmly on the majestic pass ahead, tiger-eyed and watchful.
The White Tiger in the middle held a blade and a spear, his posture agile like a leopard.
His eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if able to see through all falsehood and deceit.
His face bore a hint of an unruly smile.
Ranked fourth on the Heaven and Earth Cloud Ranking, the 'Myriad Beasts Retreat' White Tiger!
His presence added an intangible force to the entire siege army of the Cangzhou Army.
On the right, Sun Wukong held a long staff, its body shining golden yellow under the scorching sun, as if forged in fierce fire.
His eyes were sharp as an eagle, his posture tall as a pine, exuding an unyielding strength.
On the left, Wu Wenhua held a gold-silk pai pa wood, his gaze deep as the sea, with black hair hanging over his shoulders, tall and sturdy, adding further dignity.
After Sun Wukong, White Tiger, and others dug day and night, the tunnel beneath Jade Splendid Pass was finally completed.
It extended from one side of the majestic pass to the other, reaching straight to the base of the city wall.
At this time, they once again led the Cangzhou Army's siege forces to launch an attack on Jade Splendid Pass.
As time passed, the sun rose higher and the morning mist gradually dissipated.
The siege army of the Cangzhou Army began to stir, soldiers nervously checking their equipment and weapons.
Yet Sun Wukong and his companions remained calm, knowing that now was the time to display their true strength.
Suddenly, a horn blast sounded, and the entire battlefield instantly boiled over.
The Cangzhou Army's siege army surged toward the majestic pass like a tide, while Sun Wukong and others led their troops, charging at the forefront.
They waved their weapons, issuing earth-shaking cries of slaughter, as if seeking to devour the whole world.
The defenders on the majestic pass also showed no weakness, bravely resisting and repelling the siege army's attack with a hail of arrows and stones.
For a moment, the whole battlefield was shrouded in thick smoke and dust, with occasional cries of wounded soldiers and the neighing of warhorses.
The Cangzhou Army's siege forces, under the leadership of several war gods, launched the fiercest assault on Jade Splendid Pass.
Meanwhile, behind them, the Vermilion Bird also led a battalion of divine archers clad in scarlet armor onto the battlefield.
They wielded splendid crimson-gold longbows, carrying quivers embroidered with a hundred birds, quickly seizing advantageous terrain and shooting wave after wave of arrows at the defending soldiers.
At this time, the Vermilion Bird Battalion was not scattered as before, but under the Vermilion Bird's leadership, all appeared behind the battlefield.
Arrows fell like raindrops, dense and thick; in the hands of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, ordinary arrows seemed to become the proclamation of the God of Death, almost every shot hitting its mark!
The defenders of Jade Splendid Pass could not resist at all, falling one after another under the sudden assault of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, struck by arrows and collapsing.
At the same time, the Cangzhou troops successively climbed the cloud ladders, wielding spears and great swords, advancing fearlessly without retreat.
Under the leadership of Sun Wukong and other war gods, the infantry charged bravely, breaking through the defenders' line all the way.
The defenders were thrown into disarray by this sudden attack, many losing the ability to resist.
At this moment, they seemed to charge forward without fear of death.
In the center, Sun Wukong, wielding the Golden Cudgel and wearing linked golden armor, led the charge; his staff was like a golden dragon, sweeping aside all obstacles in the enemy ranks.
White Tiger, holding the White Tiger Slaughtering World Spear and the White Tiger Holy Blade, was not to be outdone, weaving flexibly through the enemy ranks, sometimes slashing foes with the blade, sometimes launching them with the spear.
Finally, Wu Wenhua, who had scaled the wall, continually let out a mighty battle cry, waving his gold-silk pai pa wood to inspire the soldiers to press forward bravely.
Meanwhile, Li Jing, seeing this from the rear, immediately began to adjust tactics.
He ordered part of the soldiers to continue strong attacks in the front, drawing the defenders' attention.
At the same time, he sent out a signal, indicating that another part of the soldiers should quietly emerge from the tunnel to launch an attack beneath the city wall of Jade Splendid Pass.
Bang!
Bang!
In the morning light, Li Jing arranged for the Cangzhou troops in the tunnel to immediately begin action.
Leading the way were, surprisingly, the Five Elements Armor under Li Xinnan, with personnel from the first and second teams, and also including the two peak divine generals, the Wind-Blast Great Sage Macaque King and the God-Driving Great Sage Gibbon King.
Under Li Xinnan's signal, the troops in the tunnel quietly emerged from the base of the city wall, shook off the dust on their bodies, and quickly seized advantageous terrain.
Their main task this time was to cooperate with the frontline assault soldiers, launching a two-pronged attack on the defenders on the city wall.
The Cangzhou soldiers assigned by Li Jing to the tunnel for a sneak attack were mostly well-trained, and they all knew the importance of this assault.
At this moment, they gripped their sharp blades, eyes fixed firmly on the defenders on the city wall.
"Kill!"
At Li Xinnan's command, this unit in the tunnel surged toward the city wall like an arrow released from a bow.
One part, under the leadership of ten divine generals of the Five Elements Armor First and Second Teams, charged directly onto the city wall.
Another part, led by the Wind-Blast Great Sage Macaque King and the God-Driving Great Sage Gibbon King, rushed straight to the tightly shut heavy gate of Jade Splendid Pass.
At this moment, the defenders on the city wall were in strict readiness, fully guarding against the fierce frontal assault of Sun Wukong and others.
They thought the Cangzhou Army's siege forces would still be as before half a month ago, attacking only from the front, never expecting the tunnel soldiers to strike from behind and directly stab the 'chrysanthemum' of Jade Splendid Pass's city wall.
For a moment, the defenders on Jade Splendid Pass's city wall were somewhat caught off guard by the attack.
"Damn it, behind the city wall!"
"Quickly hold the gate!"
Seeing that they had suddenly been stabbed in the 'chrysanthemum', the commander of Jade Splendid Pass's voice nearly distorted, his complexion changing rapidly.
Although under his command, a small portion of the nearby defenders quickly adjusted their formation, preparing to respond to this sudden attack.
But most of the defending troops, exhausted from days of guarding the city, could not react that quickly.
They were stunned because the Cangzhou Army had appeared behind them, each freezing in place.
At this moment, the Cangzhou soldiers in the tunnel, under the leadership of Li Chennan and the Five Elements Armor, took advantage of the terrain and quickly climbed up the city wall.
They brandished their blades and engaged the defending troops in close combat.
The Cangzhou Army, this unit that suddenly emerged from the tunnel, launched a swift and sudden assault, leaving the defenders on the Jade Splendid Pass city wall somewhat overwhelmed.
Therefore, this group of exhausted defenders of Jade Splendid Pass, although acting on bodily instinct, began to resist fiercely.
But under the fierce attack of the soldiers in the tunnel, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At the same time, the siege army in the front, under Li Jing's command, also launched a more violent assault.
They shouted as they charged toward the city wall, shooting at the defenders with spears and bows.
The entire battlefield was filled with thick smoke and dust, accompanied by shouts, the clash of blades, and anguished cries.
The bloody battle scene was shocking to behold.
