Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 180: Fierce Battle at Dawn

More and more Northern Wasteland warriors appeared near the north gate of the city. With the sound of the "creaking" capstan turning, the gate began to slowly rise. At the same time, many soldiers guarding the gate began to gather at the north gate from all over the city!

"Protect the winch and stop them!"

"Take back the capstan and close the city gate!"

Amid shouts, the two sides immediately engaged in a melee in the dim dawn light.

But soon, those Northern Wilderness warriors gained the upper hand, and many soldiers guarding the pass were killed by them.

After Liu Feiyun fought with the Northern Wasteland cultivator for more than ten rounds, he finally got help: Tuo Dajun and Qin Jiu, each holding a steel knife, suddenly rushed from behind and attacked the Northern Wasteland cultivator together.

The Northern Wasteland Master didn't pay any attention to the two of them, just treating them as ordinary soldiers guarding the gate. After forcing back Liu Feiyun's sword with his sword, he slashed at Tuo Dajun. In his opinion, even if this sword couldn't kill Tuo Dajun, it could at least knock him away.

But when the two knives collided, he immediately felt something was wrong, because although this knife pushed Tuo Dajun back, the force of the recoil he suffered was beyond his expectations!

"Another late cultivator!" He couldn't help but blurt out! But then a cool breeze blew, and Qin Jiu's knife arrived. It was too late for him to retract his knife to block, so he could only try his best to dodge, but the tip of the knife still cut a shallow cut on his right rib.

"Three cultivators in the late stage? Could it be that Butcher Liu really has so many cultivators that he can squander them at will?" The Northern Wilderness cultivator hurriedly retreated several feet, thinking with lingering fear!

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! This must be a coincidence! It must be a coincidence! This is a small cold wind outlet! Could it be that Butcher Liu has stationed hundreds of martial artists? How many martial artists does Butcher Liu have? These people must be the captains of the Tiger Guards! They came here without armor! It's a good opportunity to get rid of them!"

Thinking of this, the Northern Wasteland Master shouted, "Elite warriors of the Northern Wasteland tribes, I am Tuoda Boren of the Tuoda tribe. Here are three captains of Liu the Butcher's Iron Guard! Come with me and kill them! Once the Iron Guard loses its leader, it will lose its composure! We can easily seize the pass and clear the way for the army!"

As soon as Tuoda Boren finished shouting, several Northern Wilderness warriors abandoned the ordinary soldiers they were chasing and rushed towards this side.

Liu Feiyun took advantage of Tuoda Boren's retreat and, with the help of the flickering lights in various parts of the city, roughly determined the current situation:

The layout of Lengfengkou Pass is roughly a trapezoid with a narrow north and wide south, and it was built entirely based on the terrain. The city wall on the north side of the city wall is only a dozen feet long, with steep cliffs on both sides. The team of Iron Guards and the team of militiamen originally stationed on the city wall, dozens of people, did not come out to fight with the enemy at this time, and they were obviously ambushed! On the south side of the city wall, especially on the south side of the city gate, a group of Northern Wilderness warriors have forced many soldiers who came to support to retreat to the south. The most worrying thing is that there are still a steady stream of Northern Wilderness warriors on the city wall, and the city gate is getting higher and higher, and a gap is about to appear!

"Damn it! These Northern Wilderness people are all martial artists! Isn't it said that the number of martial artists in the Northern Wilderness is far less than that in the Empire! Why are there so many of them today? How can ordinary soldiers stop them without armor?" Liu Feiyun was anxious, but these Northern Wilderness warriors would not give him time to think nonsense and were about to rush over!

“Buzz buzz buzz!” “Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

Suddenly, a wave of arrows shot from behind Liu Feiyun, immediately knocking down seven or eight Northern Wilderness warriors who wanted to rush over. The rest also dodged everywhere in panic, and the momentum of the attack was slightly delayed.

"Those who are cultivators and those wearing armor should stop the enemy, and the rest of you should retreat quickly and put on your armor before fighting again!" A man wearing iron armor and a ferocious mask threw away the short crossbow in his hand, drew the steel knife from his waist, shouted and rushed towards those Northern Wilderness warriors. Behind him, dozens of armored soldiers followed closely.

However, when he passed by Liu Feiyun, he whispered: "Retreat quickly!"

"Meng Chong!" Liu Feiyun identified the person by the voice and immediately knew that the person leading the team to charge was Meng Chong!

"Lu Jingyao! Protect the young master and retreat quickly!" Tuoda Jun shouted, and rushed forward with the soldiers, heading straight for Tuoda Boren.

Qin Jiu yelled angrily: "Tuo Dajun! You bastard!" Then he urged urgently: "Young Master! Get back quickly!" Finally, he shouted to the boys and girls from Calling Name Valley who had come over: "Come and protect me!"

This series of events may sound long, but in fact it only took a few dozen breaths! Liu Feiyun didn't have time to think about it. He raised the thin willow sword in his hand and shouted, "Everyone listen! I am Liu Feiyun, the son of Le'an Earl. The warriors in the disciple realm will follow me to seize the city gate. The rest of you will retreat quickly and fight again!" After shouting, he immediately rushed towards the Northern Wilderness warriors with the armored soldiers.

Qin Jiu stomped his feet fiercely and had no choice but to shout "Protect the young master! Take back the city gate!" and charged towards the Northern Wilderness warriors.

The melee continues!

With the addition of the armored soldiers and the boys and girls from the Calling Name Valley, a large number of ordinary soldiers were able to escape and hurriedly retreated. Although their retreat was a bit chaotic, they were not panicked and quickly ran to the houses in the city where their armor was stored.

And those Northern Wilderness warriors finally met a tough opponent. They no longer had the arrogance and success they had just when dealing with those unarmored soldiers.

After ten years of hard practice in the tenth realm of spiritual refining and transformation, one can become a disciple!

An ordinary person, without any crystals to cultivate, can complete the process from starting to practice the exercises to the time when the vital energy in his body reaches the initial value of the entry level within one year.

It takes another ten years to go from the entry level to the apprentice level! Only when a person reaches the apprentice level can he be recognized as a true martial artist. The reason for this is that at the entry level, martial artists do not have much advantage over ordinary people, of course, provided that the two have similar physical qualities and have learned similar combat skills.

But if one side is wearing armor and the other side is not, ordinary people are enough to crush the entry-level warriors and fight with the apprentice-level warriors! You know, ordinary people can also practice combat skills!

Using cultivation techniques consumes vital energy, but using combat skills consumes little or no vital energy, so ordinary people can naturally learn combat skills! Even some ordinary people with extraordinary talents can kill human-level masters at the cultivation master level with their innate physical conditions and hard practice.

As long as the elite soldiers in the army put on their armor, they would not be at a disadvantage in a single fight with the unarmored martial artists in the martial arts world. In a group fight, a hundred armored veterans, relying on mutual cooperation and the advantage of the battle formation, would be enough to easily crush a hundred martial artists in the martial arts world.
