C1826

Just as Tang Yin had expected, there weren't many Disciple of Divine Pool on the way south. Without a word, he and Xia Yao traversed through the mountains and plains for two days and two nights before finally arriving at the southern region of the Divine Pool.

However, the situation here was extremely chaotic. The Chuan Army who had invaded their Divine Pool were currently fighting against the Divine Pool people led by Dongfang Yeyi.

Actually, because of Gao Ge's death, Dong Fang Ye Huai's heart had long been disheartened, and had no intention to fight to the death for Guanghan. He also didn't want to fight against Chuan Army, but that wasn't what Chuan Army thought either.

In the beginning, Dongfang Yeyi had only mainly harassed Yun Che, trying his best to slow down the speed of his Chuan Army. However, gradually, his Chuan Army also felt that their counterattack was not strong, and seemed to be showing signs of weakening.

When Xiao Xuan gathered all the generals under his command, he guessed that Divine Pool must have spent most of their energy on defending against Feng Army, which was why they restricted their own side more.

After thinking about this, Xiao Xuan gave the order to the entire army to advance at full speed. No matter what, they had to rush to the front of the Feng Army and attack until the Divine Pool City.

At this time, Xiao Xuan also had his own selfish motives. Regardless of whether it was Feng Army or who it was, whoever attacked the Divine Pool City first, would have the chance to firmly control the Divine Pool in their own hands.

If Feng Country And Chuan Country were to become hostile in the future, then the one who grasped the Divine Pool would absolutely occupy the initiative. It was precisely because of this consideration that he hurriedly used his Chuan Army to invade the borders of the Divine Pool after he knew about the Feng Army's offensive.

The main force of the Chuan Army that Xiao Xuan was personally in command of was not restricted by Dongfang Ye at all. They advanced straight towards the heart of the Divine Pool ? ? Divine Pool City.

However, this did not mean that he could tolerate the Divine Pool City being trampled upon by the armies of other nations. In the heart of Dongfang Ye Huai, it was Guanghan who listened, and Divine Pool was the Divine Pool. The two could not be confused, nor could he let the Divine Pool be destroyed just because of Guanghan who listened.

In addition, the elders who came with him and his sect's disciples also began to complain. If he had only blindly retreated and restricted them, he would not be able to stop the advancement of Chuan Army at all. If this were to continue, then Chuan Army would arrive before the city gates in a few days.

For these reasons, Dongfang Yeyue could only change his strategy, give up on the harassment and restraining tactics, and decided to directly block Chuan Army.

Of course, the number of people on Dongfang Yeyi's side was completely incomparable to the number of people in the Chuan Army. Chuan Army had sent out three legions, with a total of more than three hundred thousand people. On the other hand, there were only three thousand people on Dongfang Ye's side.

If they were to face it head on, Dong Fang Ye Huai had no chance of winning, but the danger of the Divine Pool would help him a little.

From the Southern Domain to the Divine Pool City, one had to pass through Tiger-mouth Ravine, this was a narrow and deep valley, on both sides were dangerous mountains that reached into the clouds, there was a rugged mountain road in the middle, the ground was filled with huge rocks, it was hard for humans and animals to travel through, if Chuan Army wanted to pass through from here, they would even have to remove the supplies in the army, and transport them over in batches.

The most important thing was that the entire Tiger-mouth Ravine formed a '8' shape. Both sides were wide, and the middle was narrow. If there were people guarding the two sides of the mountain, it would be too difficult for the people below to pass.

Dong Fang Ye Huai had taken a fancy to such a dangerous place, and he had also noticed it in terms of Chuan Army.

When the main force of Chuan Army was still quite a distance away from the Tiger-mouth Ravine, they had already sent out twenty thousand people to lead the troops to the Tiger-mouth Ravine first. The soldiers climbed up to the mountain peaks on both sides of the Tiger-mouth Ravine to camp there, preventing the people of Divine Pool from occupying this area and obstructing their own side from advancing.

It could be said that their Chuan Army had already been used to guard against the premonition, and in the end, they had still underestimated Dongfang Ye's strength. A garrison of twenty thousand people would lose their armors early the next morning and retreat back to their original Chuan Army formation. Only then did Xiao Xuan know that last night, the Chuan Army guarding the mountain peak had been ambushed by the people from the Divine Pool. Due to lack of preparation, coupled with the fact that the enemy's spirit force was too strong, the Chuan Army was unable to resist, causing the enemies to become dizzy from the beatings.

Fortunately, there was no killing intent in the Divine Pool. Releasing all the surrendered Chuan Army Soldiers was a good thing, otherwise, it would be impossible to escape from so many people.

Hearing that, Xiao Xuan's face turned white, the twenty thousand strong elite army was actually defeated by a few thousand Divine Pool people, and they were even in a situation where they were taking control of the territory.

He punished the general who was leading the army severely, and then, he ordered Middle General Zhang Song and General Hu Ning to lead fifty thousand soldiers. No matter what, they had to take over the Tiger-mouth Ravine and clear the obstacles for the army that was advancing towards the north.

Zhang Song and Hu Ning, the two generals, sent their men out to battle. As a result, the two of them left quickly and came back quickly. They left with full confidence and came back with their faces covered in dust.

Although there were only three thousand or so Divine Pool people at the summit of the Tiger-mouth Ravine, the fifty thousand strong army led by the two of them was simply unable to attack it. Instead of battling fiercely for an entire day, the Generals And Soldiers of Chuan Army did not even manage to attack halfway up the mountain.

This caused Xiao Xuan to be extremely angry, if the first twenty thousand strong army was caught off guard by him, then it would be understandable for them to be forced to retreat, but if the second fifty thousand strong army was not able to take down Tiger-mouth Ravine, then it would be too unreasonable.

Xiao Xuan gave the order, and the entire army began their journey, charging straight to the Tiger-mouth Ravine. No matter how strong the enemies that occupied the Tiger-mouth Ravine were, their side had to pass through them today.

When the main body of the Chuan Army arrived at the Tiger-mouth Ravine, Xiao Xuan personally arrived in front of the great army formation and looked ahead.

Having never seen Tiger-mouth Ravine before, it was merely an ordinary mountain stream to Xiao Xuan. Now that he had personally witnessed it, Xiao Xuan could not help but take in a breath of cold air.

The tall mountains on both sides of the mountain stream were likely over a hundred feet tall and were extremely steep. Even on the most gentle side, they looked as though they were going straight up and down.

At this time, he finally understood why Zhang Song and Hu Ning, these two generals, were unable to hit the Tiger-mouth Ravine even with fifty thousand troops.

Chief General Yang Zhao came to Xiao Xuan's side, and said in a low voice: "Great King, this place is extremely steep, if we cannot eliminate the enemies on the mountain peaks on both sides, it will be difficult for our army to pass, but, to forcefully attack, I am afraid it will not be easy!"1

"No matter how difficult it is, I have to fight!" Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice: "If our army wants to break through Divine Pool City, we must first pass through Tiger-mouth Ravine, there is no other way; if our army wants to reach Divine Pool City before then we must quickly end this battle, there is no other way!"

Yang Zhao's expression turned serious, he nodded and said: "This lowly general knows. Your Majesty, this lowly general is willing to lead our troops in the front line! "

Xiao Xuan turned to look at Yang Zhao, he pondered for a moment and said: "Yang Zhao, you must not be careless, although there are not many people in Divine Pool, all of them are powerful warriors, when attacking, if you see that something is wrong, immediately retreat, do not be too greedy and continue fighting!"

"This lowly general understands. Your Majesty, rest assured!" Yang Zhao interjected and accepted the order.

Yang Zhao was one of Xiao Xuan's trusted aides, and also a famous general with illustrious achievements in Chuan Country.

He personally led the Chuan Army of eighty thousand people and started to attack the mountain on the left of the Tiger-mouth Ravine fiercely. Although Yang Zhao was born a commoner, he was still a veteran who had experienced a lot in the battlefield.

He first picked out the well-trained and nimble soldiers from the army and let them lead the charge with ropes. They did not need to rush all the way to the top of the mountain, they only needed to advance in segments.

According to Yang Zhao's arrangements, the Chuan Army would attack the left peak of the Tiger-mouth Ravine. Over a thousand Chuan Army soldiers lightly armed themselves, each carrying a large bundle of hemp rope, and were the first to climb the mountain.

They only climbed five meters or so before stopping. Then, they took off the ropes on their bodies, anchored one end to the mountain rock, and threw the other end down the mountain. Then, they continued to climb up the mountain.

Seeing the ropes fall, the Generals And Soldiers of Chuan Army s swarmed forward, pulling the ropes with them as they charged towards the mountain peak.

In the beginning, they were successful, but as the group of vigorous Chuan Soldier neared the halfway point of the mountain, shouts suddenly came from the top of the mountain, following that, hundreds of Spirit Arrow s flew down.

In just an instant, dozens of Chuan Soldier s were shot dead by the Spirit Arrow, as they rolled down the hill while screaming miserably.

Some of the Chuan Soldier with faster reactions dodged on the spot and hid behind the rocks. They thought they could defend against the Spirit Arrow above their heads with the rocks blocking them, but they were wrong.

Some of the Spirit Arrow followed suit and flew down in an arc, bypassing the mountain rocks, and directly nailed themselves to the Chuan Soldier behind the mountain rocks. Some of the Spirit Arrow walked in a straight line, but their strength was too great, and when they nailed themselves to the rocks, they made crisp 'ka ka' sounds.

In just a few rounds of the Spirit Arrow's shooting, there were only a few thousand of Chuan Soldier left. Seeing that their opponent's nocked arrow formation was too terrifying and tyrannical, the people lost their courage to continue climbing and threw away the ropes on their bodies, holding their heads and running back.

Many people ran around for a few steps before being chased by Spirit Arrow and flipped to the ground.

These Chuan Soldier s were all being shot down, but they did not stop the Chuan Army from advancing. Looking ahead, the Chuan Army s that covered the entire mountain were continuously climbing upwards along the ropes.

Very quickly, the arrows on the mountain stopped. The attacking Chuan Soldier s didn't even have time to catch their breath before they heard bursts of rumbling sounds coming from the mountain peak. At the same time, even the mountain peaks were faintly trembling.

The crowd subconsciously looked up, and then their expressions all changed greatly.

Countless boulders rolled down from the top of the mountain. Some of the boulders were even as tall as a person. They carried with them an unstoppable force as they rolled down the mountain.

There was not even a chance for him to dodge since the Chuan Soldier was located on the hillside. When the huge boulder rolled near, many people could only watch as it rolled over their bodies. Facing the gigantic boulder that weighed hundreds of kilograms or even thousands of kilograms, even Spirit Cultivator who was covered in spirit armor could not withstand it.
