Chapter 743: Chapter 302: Signs of Defeat Emerge, Snow Bamboo’s Backup Plan
Xia Chuan’s roar and the teasing from Yuan Cheng and the other Cold Resistance Level individuals made the morale of the Great Xia defenders around the main building, who fought to the death without retreating, suddenly soar.
Indeed, it was from all directions.
The Longyou Army originally attacked from the north side, but with more than three thousand soldiers spreading out completely, one direction was naturally not enough. So, under the strategic direction of the Cold Resistance Level individuals from Long Mountain, the Longyou soldiers had already split from two sides, surrounding the entire main building within a hundred-meter square area completely.
The scene at this moment was that thousands of Great Xia soldiers were backed against the main building, desperately holding off the Longyou soldiers continuously charging from outside.
Boom!
On the west side of the main building, dozens of Longyou soldiers had already torn open a breach, killing their way in more than ten meters. Despite the constant replacement by the Great Xia defenders coming to block, the gap in strength between the two sides was simply too large.
Crunch!
“Longyou land is not to be touched by others, brothers, kill all the Xia dogs!”
A Longyou soldier swung his butcher knife to cut down several Great Xia soldiers in front, and then angrily shouted, leading more than ten soldiers beside him, charging forward three or four more meters.
Slosh!
Unfortunately, that was as far as it went!
The soldier charged too fiercely, paying no attention to the main building above, where a silver-glowing iron arrow shot directly towards his face.
As he raised his knife again to strike, the iron arrow precisely hit his forehead, the sharp arrowhead shooting out from the back of his skull, killing him instantly.
“Brothers, we cannot retreat, fill the breach, drive them all outside!”
“Do not retreat, if you retreat again you’ll be downstairs, rush up.”
“Zhao Long and the other lords are covering us with arrows, if we retreat downstairs, it will be difficult for them to shoot, come on, everyone rush over!”
…
The voiceless roars and persistence of the Great Xia defenders did not stop the trend of the breach expanding. After the dozen Longyou soldiers solidified their foothold, more and more people rushed in from behind.
The breach gradually expanded, soon leaving only some twenty to thirty meters from the main building.
After all, it was Long Mountain’s elite, facing Great Xia’s Earth-digging Realm, the Longyou soldiers could fight one against three, one against five, or even more.
The battle had been going on for more than half an hour. If not for the Great Xia defenders fighting to the death, coupled with precise iron arrow cover from Zhao Long and other Cold Resistance Level individuals sporadically from behind the main building, this battlefield would not have only one breach.
Huff… die!
Bang!
As the breach rapidly expanded, a double-edged giant axe suddenly slammed in from the flank, killing three Longyou soldiers in succession, then swiftly swirled around, sweeping away all the other surrounding Longyou troops.
“Don’t panic, their rear people cannot come in, just hold off this wave!”
Yuan Cheng, dressed in black, with a burly physique like a war god, frantically swung the giant axe in rapid rotation, sweeping away more than ten Longyou soldiers while reminding the rest of the Great Xia defenders around to continue pushing forward.
Being Cold Resistance Level, Yuan Cheng, with Three-Maned Power, stopped by this battlefield immediately halting the expansion of the breach. Furthermore, as he kept pushing outward horizontally, the breach gradually showed signs of shrinking.
“Xia dogs, do you really think you can stop us alone, seeking your doom!”
Unfortunately, Yuan Cheng’s fierce prestige did not last long.
The Cold Resistance Level individuals of Long Mountain quickly came over to reinforce.
And not just one!
Li Xuanping, dressed in white, stopped Yuan Cheng’s giant axe directly with his knife.
Then, from both sides, emerged another Cold Resistance Level individual, one from the upper left slicing at Yuan Cheng’s neck, another from the lower right stabbing at Yuan Cheng’s heart.
“Damn it!”
The moment his giant axe was stopped, Yuan Cheng knew that Li Xuanping’s strength was far superior to his own, so did not choose to confront him directly but pulled his giant axe to the left, trying to retreat.
However, with the swords approaching simultaneously from lethal angles on both sides, he essentially had nowhere to retreat to; whichever direction he avoided would be a dead end.
Yuan Cheng gritted his teeth fiercely, his eyes swiftly scanning, crashing abruptly to the left with his giant axe while simultaneously jumping upward.
“Trying to break out from the left, can you manage to escape?”
Li Xuanping revealed a sinister smile, pressed the knife holding the giant axe downward sharply, causing Yuan Cheng’s jumping body to be pinned down immediately.
Swoosh… slash…
As his body was forcibly pressed down by Li Xuanping, failing to successfully jump up, Yuan Cheng’s intent to break through naturally fell through.
Fortunately, his struggle was not in vain.
The sword on the right, though it hit, pierced through close to the armpit area; the knife on the left, though also successfully cut, sliced into the area over an inch below the front collarbone at the neck.
After all, it was a battle among Cold Resistance Level individuals. This sword and knife, even failing to hit the vital area, caused extremely terrifying damage.
The light gold iron armor worn by Yuan Cheng offered no protection whatsoever and was directly broken. A long cut was made on his chest, while a blood hole was punctured beneath the left armpit. As the Cold Resistance Level individual quickly pulled out the longsword, blood spurted out, instantly dyeing his clothes red.
Cold Resistance Level individuals merely had far stronger skin and basic strengths compared to Earth-digging Realm ones, without surpassing the normal human range. Despite not being life-threatening, the severe injury alone and the pain from the wounds were enough to completely sap Yuan Cheng of his strength.
Indeed, as the trio anticipated, Yuan Cheng’s face was full of anguish, his head hung slightly, indicating obvious signs of debilitation.
“Ha!”
Yet the scene that followed caused Li Xuanping’s eyes to widen suddenly.
