Chapter 522: Coverage Strategy

Compared to the previous three great battles, the fourth battle was much duller.

The Holy Shaman led many Ghost Shamans and Desolate Shamans to watch the battle from the rear, while five Dharma Form experts led by Xuanjizi and Canglongshi appeared in Azure Void, and it was unknown how many were hidden.

In this battle, the Shaman tribe launched a full-scale attack, while Azure Void relied on fortifications to resist step by step and defend to the death.

The great Dharma Form experts of both sides had their own tacit understanding, watching from the sky throughout and guarding against each other. But they were not without action; from time to time, they would sneak attack the Great Shamans and Dharma Form experts fighting fiercely below.

One side sneak attacked, the other side had to intercept, and also had to think about how to counterattack without attracting the attention of the monsters beyond the heavens. This kind of secret battle consumed as much mental effort as the decisive battle beyond the heavens.

As the fierce battle was in full swing, a Ghost Shaman suddenly spat out a red silk thread, instantly crossing a hundred li, wanting to stick to a human Dharma Form expert! At this moment, a winding sword light suddenly appeared, cutting the red silk thread in one stroke!

The end of the red silk thread fell to the ground, turning into a slender tongue-like thing, bouncing rapidly on the ground, wanting to escape.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Little Wei Yuan grabbed it. It wanted to drill through Little Wei Yuan's skin, but apart from grinding itself into a bloody mess, Little Wei Yuan's skin remained unharmed.

Little Wei Yuan's hand radiated the aura of the Ice Glass Divine Wood, instantly freezing it, and then put it away.

After suffering such a big loss, the Ghost Shamans became much more honest. Su Su Xuejing was a fierce person who could hold back the Holy Shaman beyond the heavens. In the Broken Domain, he could exert his full strength, while the Ghost Shamans had to be restrained, and if they really fought, they might not be his match.

Therefore, in the Broken Domain, Su Su Xuejing's deterrence was much stronger than that of ordinary human Dharma Form experts.

Besides Su Su Xuejing, there was also Little Wei Yuan. Wherever Little Wei Yuan went, it was a scene of chaos, and all Ghost Shamans had to retreat three she. Everyone was waiting for Little Wei Yuan to deliver that Yang Bomb to Hong Ye; before that, no one wanted to provoke Little Wei Yuan.

At this moment, Little Wei Yuan was like a loafer wandering around the village with a basin of dung; he could walk sideways, and no kind of hooligan dared to show their face.

The ground battle was generally the same as before, with the slight difference that after the optimization of the earthly fireworks, Little Wei Yuan replaced the original Ding'an City with a defense line composed of multiple small fortresses built in an emergency.

These small fortresses were about a hundred zhang apart, with large gaps between them.

In the eyes of traditional generals, this defense line was full of loopholes, and large groups of people could pass through everywhere. When Little Wei Yuan first deployed it, some generals in Azure Void also expressed opposition. But their opposition was ineffective, and Little Wei Yuan still executed it.

This Azure Void defense system was designed based on the new theory of firepower blockade rather than city wall blockade by the earthly fireworks. Before each independent small fortress was destroyed, it would continuously output firepower, and the firepower of each fortress would cross and cover each other; if the Shaman tribe wanted to pass through, they would have to be continuously hit by firepower and lose blood non-stop.

Many conclusions drawn by the earthly fireworks looked contrary to human common sense at first glance, but if one explored them deeply, one would find that these conclusions were based on strict evidence.

Even the most formidable army would find it difficult to maintain combat effectiveness after hard-hitting such heavy casualties to pass through the fortress area.

And to pull out these small fortresses, it would also require paying a high price and spending a lot of time. During the time of besieging the fortresses, the troops would be hit by firepower from other fortresses. And after a fortress was broken, there were about a hundred breastplate warriors inside, whose hand-to-hand combat ability was not weak. So there would be another round of hand-to-hand combat to kill all the warriors inside before truly occupying a fortress.

When demonstrating this strategy, the earthly fireworks isolated each fortress, decomposed it into different tasks for mortals to deduce and calculate, and finally summarized all individual cases, eliminated redundancy at the immortal plant, added other necessary factors, and after a series of complex adjustments, finally reached the conclusion.

Finally, Little Wei Yuan built several hundred small fortresses in one breath, placing a hundred soldiers in each fortress, totaling tens of thousands of garrison troops distributed in the area of the original Ding'an City.

The actual battle and the earthly fireworks deduction still had some differences. The Shaman tribe had too many troops, and the army forcibly flooded the fortress area under the pushing of the soldiers behind, and in a blink of an eye, every small fortress was experiencing a crazy siege.

Fortunately, Little Wei Yuan deployed the Long Xiang Army behind the fortress area, forming a steel barrier that firmly blocked the Shaman army's impact.

The Shaman army was like a tide, slapping against the Long Xiang Army's military formation. The front row of the Long Xiang Army had already fully fixed bayonets and began hand-to-hand combat.

The Shaman tribe's front-most warriors desperately sprinted against the barrage of bullets, and after finally rushing in front of the Long Xiang Army, they were pierced by these warriors covered in heavy armor!

As soon as the two sides began to fight, the Shaman army fell row by row.

After killing the Shaman army that came up, this row of Long Xiang Army would retreat, giving the defense line to the row of heavy-armored warriors behind. Like this, row by row, they retreated, fired, fought in hand-to-hand combat, retreated again, and fired again, pulling the Shaman tribe's formation like this, constantly harvesting lives.

Relying on the Long Xiang Army alone naturally could not block the impact of hundreds of thousands of Shaman troops, but behind this defense line were hundreds of city defense cannons, which were continuously bombarding, taking away hundreds or thousands of Shaman army lives every moment.

The Shaman army's powerful offensive also forced Little Wei Yuan to launch missile attacks early, otherwise, the defense line would be in jeopardy. Once the Shaman army broke through the defense line, the rear would be the hinterland of Azure Void, all of which were civilians who were not ready to go to the battlefield. If they encountered the Shaman tribe's edge now, it would be a one-sided slaughter.

As soon as the missiles came out, the Shaman tribe's divine archer Great Shamans appeared one after another to intercept. Yu Yu Zhizhuo modified some of the missiles, and when they reached the sky above the Shaman army formation, the first batch of missiles split instantly, and more than ten small warheads flew out, falling scattered to various parts of the Shaman army.

Each small warhead was controlled by a cultivator's spiritual sense, flying in a variety of ways. But the Shaman tribe's divine archer Great Shamans also erupted one after another, arrows like rain, intercepting the vast majority of the sub-warheads in an instant. The few sub-warheads that landed exploded, letting the Shaman tribe know that every warhead was real.

Batches of missiles whistled over, the divine archer Great Shamans' magic power was rapidly consumed, and in a blink of an eye, some had to go down to rest. Just when the divine archer Great Shamans were exhausted and subconsciously a bit slack, a mediocre missile in the sky was hit by an arrow and suddenly split, shooting out more than ten flying swords from inside!

These flying swords were all magic treasures; even if they were only the lowest-grade magic treasures, their lethality could not be underestimated. The flying sword group whistled past, instantly killing two divine archer Great Shamans in a flash, before being shot down by other Great Shamans.

In the Azure Void army, Cui Yu opened his eyes, blood flowing from his nose. He didn't say a word, looked up and took an elixir, and at this moment, the heaven and earth energy in the air poured down, making his aura rise step by step.

Cui Yu adjusted his breath for a moment, murderous intent fully revealed in his eyes, observed and locked onto the next target, waiting for the arrival of the next special missile.
