Chapter 1247: Full Cooperation

What surprised Ye Liuyun was that the Great Xia dynasty this time actually fully cooperated with Ye Liuyun.

First, 300,000 troops came to reinforce Ye Liuyun and their three cities. At the same time, there were two armies specifically used to intercept other reinforcements.

At the same time, the Great Xia dynasty also launched an attack on neighboring cities, so they wouldn't divert troops to reinforce.

When Ye Liuyun received this news, he was also surprised beyond expectation.

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince also held on until the reinforcements arrived.

Although they didn't need to hold out for long, their personnel indeed suffered heavy losses, after all their troops' combat capability was poor.

On Ye Liuyun's side, there were almost no losses. The foreign tribe's army didn't even break through the formation flags.

Many corpse demons were shot dead by the demon cultivators' and puppets' crossbow bolts before they even entered the formation flags.

At this time, the equipment Ye Liuyun specially provided for them was specifically used for defending the city.

He discovered through the experience of defending the city in the previous secret realm that it was no wonder the tactic of using crossbow bolts to block enemy sieges worked well.

Afterward, his 100,000-strong demon cultivator army arrived, and the warships fired in unison, basically eliminating the need for the city's inhabitants to fight.

Ye Liuyun's remaining task was to receive information from all fronts and coordinate the battlefield's operations.

Eliminating the foreign tribe's 500,000-strong army took two days in total, including the time for some of the foreign tribe to flee and be pursued.

After learning that all the armies were proceeding smoothly, Ye Liuyun again had Qin Peng turn around and cooperate with all the armies, pressing the advantage to capture the two neighboring cities as well.

He also dispatched evil dragons to assist the attack from the air.

Evil dragons can fly very high, beyond the reach of corpse demon attacks, and they can directly drop thunderbolts, fire stones, and the like from the air, causing great disturbance to the foreign tribe.

At the same time, they could also serve a surveillance function, allowing them to see the situation inside the city clearly.

Furthermore, Ye Liuyun's warships bombarded from low altitude, quickly breaching the other two cities.

The entire battle process lasted another two days. Especially the corpse demons inside the other two cities were almost completely annihilated, with nowhere to run.

Of course, Ye Liuyun's army also suffered considerable losses in close combat, but overall they held the advantage. It can definitely be counted as another great victory.

After handing over those two cities to the dynasty's troops for garrisoning, Qin Peng and the demon race each led their people back to their own stations.

"How are the troop losses?" Ye Liuyun asked Qin Peng for the situation.

"Not bad. Ordinary soldiers lost less than 20,000! The demon cultivators lost only about 3,000." Qin Peng reported.

"That few?" Ye Liuyun also didn't expect their losses to be so low.

You should know that Qin Peng's army has always been the main assault force; excluding siege operations, they were the main force facing the 500,000-strong corpse demon army.

"Haha, mainly because our equipment is good! Most of the time, before melee even begins, we scatter the corpse demons!" Qin Peng laughed.

"Great! Quickly replenish equipment and personnel, prepare for the next battle!" Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun relaxed.

As long as the losses aren't great, even if we have to immediately respond to the foreign tribe's counterattack, he doesn't need to worry.

Not long after resting, two days later the Great Xia dynasty's army began to expand laterally along the gap torn open by Ye Liuyun, recapturing the cities occupied by the foreign tribe one by one.

In the end, the foreign tribe had no choice but to retreat once again by a certain distance.

This time, Ye Liuyun intended to estimate and repeat, then break through the army again, with Qin Peng providing reinforcements from behind.

However, Tuomu Hai had already been guarding against this move, ambushing 300,000 troops near the city ahead of Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's assault encountered strong resistance, which was also closely related to Ba He Lei's death.

If Tuomu Hai did not avenge Ba He Lei, when the news spread back to the foreign tribe, it would be inevitable that someone would come to blame him.

This battle was also unusually tragic, and Ye Liuyun finally tasted the bitterness of being besieged while the enemy struck at relief forces.

In addition to the foreign tribe's ambushed 300,000 troops, plus the 100,000 garrison inside the city, a 400,000-strong army encircled Ye Liuyun to the point of being watertight, vowing to trap him inside to death.

Qin Peng's reinforcements also encountered obstruction, but in order to carve out a retreat route for Ye Liuyun, they could not withdraw.

Other dynasties' armies were relatively far away, while the nearby Crown Prince and Fourth Prince's troops lacked combat strength, so Ye Liuyun could rely on his own strength to hold on.

All the forces he could mobilize had already been deployed.

The magic vine blocked an attack from one direction. For the other three directions, first there was an outer layer of warships, then Ye Liuyun arranged formation flags, hiding the puppets and 30,000 demon cultivator soldiers within the flags, so they could shoot corpse demons that entered the formation with crossbow bolts.

The corpse demons howled loudly, continually launching assaults on the formation flags.

The firepower net formed by the warships played a major role, intercepting most of the corpse demons.

The remaining corpse demons, even if they charged into the formation flags, would be ineffective; without the formation launching an attack, they would all be shot down by crossbow bolts.

However, the foreign tribe this time also went all out.

If a single warship couldn't match up, they would come at it three-to-one, even ramming it.

At the start of the battle, the warships carried by Ye Liuyun and his side became the foreign tribe's primary attack target, constantly falling.

In the end, they were all destroyed. However, the foreign tribe's remaining warships were also few.

Just as their warships were about to bombard the formation, Ye Liuyun released ten evil dragons specifically to deal with those warships.

The evil dragons' bodies are much larger than the warships; they can directly pounce onto the warships and press them to the ground.

Adding their claws, a few strikes can tear the warships apart.

They are occasionally hit by warships or strong individuals among the foreign tribe. Although these evil dragons have thick hides, they cannot withstand the large numbers attacking them.

Thus, after they had roughly destroyed some warships, they were immediately recalled by Ye Liuyun.

After these evil dragons returned, they were covered in wounds and had no strength left to fight.

Ye Liuyun hurriedly stored them inside the Xuan Kong Shi, so they could recover quickly.

"It seems the evil dragons' realm is still too low; they can only be used as arrow shields. There are still three evil dragons; they should finally be able to break a path!" He constantly calculated the battle strength of both sides in his mind.

Ye Liuyun, in front of these foreign tribe armies, did not use the Sealing Demon Tablet.

The Sealing Demon Tablet, he was saving it for those foreign tribe strongmen. Exposing it too early would cause them to take precautions.

So he now has no reserve forces left; he can only wait for Qin Peng's reinforcements.

Qin Peng also encountered the same situation. The foreign tribe army desperately tried to block him.

After an hour, his army had advanced less than ten li.
