Chapter 68: Chapter 68: The Final Assault, Poison Douluo's Mighty Display
On the other side,
After receiving Liu Yuan's orders, Xiao Wu and the two senior members of the Holy Spirit Sect quickly chose to obey.
After all, they were all servants of Liu Yuan. Since Liu Yuan had instructed them to protect Bibi Dong, they naturally had to follow his instructions.
However, as Liu Yuan had previously commanded,
They did not take direct action but remained hidden, waiting for the critical moment when Bibi Dong faced danger to save her life.
Now, the defeat of the Martial Soul Palace was practically a foregone conclusion. Unless Qian Dao Liu or Liu Yuan himself took action, no one would be able to reverse the situation.
Therefore, Xiao Wu and the two senior members of the Holy Spirit Sect played the role of surprise attackers.
They would strike at the most crucial moment, when Tang San least expected it, for maximum effectiveness.
Moreover, Liu Yuan had instructed them to save only Bibi Dong. They had no need to pay attention to anyone else.
...
They quickly began to conceal themselves, observing the progress of the battle as bystanders.
And the outcome of the battle was indeed as Liu Yuan had anticipated—a completely one-sided situation...
At the beginning, the Martial Soul Palace's lineup appeared to be more organized.
However, under the command of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's performance, the Martial Soul Palace gradually fell behind.
Although Bibi Dong was an excellent ruler, she was not a qualified commander.
She excelled in one-on-one combat, but when it came to leading an army in battle, Bibi Dong was quite inexperienced.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Dou Empire not only had many battle-hardened generals but also had Yu Xiaogang, who was capable in this aspect.
Furthermore, Tang San, who was invincible on the frontlines, continuously wreaked havoc.
As a result, the Martial Soul Palace gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Countless soldiers from the Martial Soul Palace were defeated and captured.
And once they fell into the hands of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the fate of these captured Martial Soul Palace soldiers would be execution.
...
This approach was all Tang San's and Yu Xiaogang's idea.
After all, in their view, keeping these prisoners was completely useless. They were nothing but a group of troublemakers.
Perhaps after the defeat of the Martial Soul Palace, they might join the Heavenly Dou Empire. However, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had ambitious plans. Once the Martial Soul Palace collapsed, their next target should be the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Naturally, they didn't want to leave these prisoners for the Heavenly Dou Empire.
When their subordinates captured these Martial Soul Palace soldiers, they used various excuses to execute them.
Firstly, to "boost our military's prestige."
By executing prisoners, they could enhance the morale of the Heavenly Dou Empire's soldiers and suppress the enemy's morale in the same way.
It was a good pretext.
Another excuse was "considering military provisions."
Prisoners also needed to be fed.
But the frontline had limited military provisions, and they couldn't spare manpower to transport the prisoners to the rear.
So if there were too many prisoners, it would waste a batch of military provisions.
In that case, it would be better to just slaughter them all!
It must be said that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's excuses were well thought out.
At least, after these two excuses were stated, almost everyone in the Heavenly Dou Empire couldn't find any faults.
And there's another point, this entire war relied on Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
All the generals and soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire had a clear understanding of their capabilities through this war.
Now, they were filled with awe towards the two of them.
Naturally, there was no opposition whatsoever.
...
At this moment, the Heavenly Dou Empire was just one step away from final victory.
With Yu Xiaogang as the overall commander of the war and Tang San as the vanguard general, they had begun the final assault.
Tang San and the others led the great army of the Heavenly Dou Empire, pressing forward to a place less than twenty miles away from Jialing Pass.
They quickly formed their formation, with Tang San leading the Shrek Six Devils, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Qibao Liulizong's Master Ning Fengzhi, Poison Douluo, as well as Tang Sect's Hall Master Titan and Hall Master Yutang, all standing at the forefront of the formation.
Behind them were rows of heavily armored cavalry and infantry.
Several rows behind them were filled with highly advanced siege weapons, such as trebuchets, arrow towers, wooden oxen, cloud ladders, and so on.
Tang San and the others first had the trebuchets in the rear continuously launch huge stones into Jialing Pass, hoping to lure the enemy out of the city to meet them in battle.
But they soon discovered that the enemy showed no intention of sallying out of the city.
Their confidence instantly grew.
"Trebuchets, keep launching stones!"
"Infantry, follow me with the cloud ladders!"
"Cavalry, wait for us to break through the city gates before charging in!"
"Shield-bearing soldiers, protect the siege weapons!"
Tang San directly issued several commands to the large number of soldiers.
Then, the Sea God Trident in his hand emitted a bright light, and a golden Sea God imprint appeared on his forehead.
He held the trident and displayed nine soul rings behind him.
Then, like a war god, they charged forward, blocking all attacks from the Martial Soul Hall.
Soon after, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and others quickly followed suit. The infantry behind them carried the cloud ladders and swiftly followed, eventually placing them all on the city walls.
Tang San and several Titled Douluo instantly ascended the city walls in a blink of an eye.
After all, their strength was formidable. At their level, although flying through the air was too exaggerated, scaling walls was still relatively easy.
Therefore, the several Titled Douluo quickly reached the city walls.
At this point, the situation had completely spiraled out of control.
All the Titled Douluo had ascended the city walls, and the soldiers and soul masters from the Martial Soul Hall were already busy dealing with just them. How could they spare any attention to the infantry continuously climbing up and the siege weapons relentlessly assaulting the city?
So the fall of Jialing Pass was essentially just a matter of time.
"Hehe, at a time like this, it's my turn to show my might..."
Poison Douluo, amidst the battle, suddenly sneered.
In terms of one-on-one combat, he didn't rank highly among the Titled Douluo.
But when it came to mass slaughter of soul masters, that was something he excelled at.
At this moment, as he broke into Jialing Pass, he unleashed several large-scale poison attribute soul skills one after another.
Instantly, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Martial Soul Hall within Jialing Pass were killed or injured.
Once any Martial Soul Hall soldier was affected by Dugu Bo's poison, they would collapse, foaming at the mouth, and ultimately die a miserable death on the spot.
"Hahaha! This is the power of Poison Douluo!"
Poison Douluo laughed triumphantly.
As for Tang San and the others beside him, they all praised and applauded his actions.
In their view, Poison Douluo's actions were absolutely correct.
