Chapter 303 Kite Flying Tactics

Seeing this, Yu Ye took the time to ask Sun Weichen, "Master Sun, can you make the vines that were bitten off grow again?"

"It is possible, but it will consume a lot of energy and the cost will outweigh the gain." Sun Weichen shook his head.

"Then let's fight to the death and see who can't hold on first." Yu Yefalang said.

The current battle situation is a war of attrition, with low-level ghost beasts charging in.

The ghost bear beasts that lead the low-level ghost beast group are all old, weak and sick. The high-level ghost beasts hide behind the ghost group to give overall command.

This command mode is completely opposite to the mindless charge led by the high-level ghosts in the ghost tide.

Yu Ye and Sun Weichen looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that the main purpose of this battle was to consume each other. Both humans and ghost beasts were trying their best to consume each other. One side was defending and the other side was attacking. No one could give up easily.

The attacks of the ghost beasts became more and more fierce, as if they were going to tear down the entire village wall, but the soldiers and civilians still held their positions, their faith was as indestructible as the village wall.

Yu Ye, who had put away his bow and was brandishing his long sword, shouted loudly: "My men, hold on! We can't let these monsters get past our defense line!"

His voice echoed across the battlefield, inspiring everyone's heart.

Sun Weichen closed his eyes and concentrated, forming seals with his hands, chanting a spell, slowly and continuously adding spiritual power to the vines to fight against the tide of ghost beasts.

He knew in his heart that the longer he persisted, the more time he could buy for the militia, killing more ghost beasts and increasing the chances of winning the final battle.

The attacks of the ghost beasts became more and more crazy, but the defense of the militiamen became more and more tight.

With their strong will and firm belief, they resisted wave after wave of attacks from the ghost beasts.

Despite the increasing casualties, no one retreated, because they knew that behind them were their homes, their loved ones, and everything they had.

"Kill!" The sword and shield soldier, who was fighting madly, resisted with his shield in one hand, and chopped with his sword in the other hand at the ghost beast that jumped out from the pile of corpses under the village wall.

"Kill!" The archer with red eyes kept shooting arrows, and his knuckles were cracked without him noticing.

"Kill!" The sword and shield soldiers on both sides of the mountain road held off the charging ghost beasts and provided a solid line of defense for the spearmen to thrust with their spears.

Sun Weichen looked at the battle situation in front of him, felt the little remaining talisman energy, and knew that he could not delay any longer.

He turned and shouted to Yu Ye, "Brother Ye, it's time to retreat to the second line of defense. There are not many vines left, and the energy of the talisman is almost exhausted."

Yu Ye's heart sank when he heard Sun Weichen's words.

He knew that this meant they would have to abandon this line of defense and retreat to the second line.

Although he felt unwilling in his heart, he also knew that this was the only choice. Otherwise, if the fight continued, everyone would be in danger.

"Okay." Yu Ye nodded and ordered loudly: "Listen, men, prepare to retreat! Prepare to retreat!"

Some people responded to this order, while others were addicted to killing and unable to extricate themselves.

Seeing this, Yu Ye could only repeat the order until everyone agreed, then he looked at Sun Weichen.

Sun Weichen nodded in understanding and said, "Retreat after five breaths."

"Okay." Yu Ye casually chopped down a flying ghost beast and started calculating the time in his mind.

"Get up!" Sun Weizi raised his hand and shouted loudly. Then, green light bloomed in the pile of ghost beast corpses. Thick green vines pierced through the pile of corpses and reappeared.

They danced like green pythons, whipping away the ghost beasts that pounced on the defense line, forming a vine barrier and providing the militia with precious time to retreat.

"Retreat!" Yu Ye gave the order decisively.

The militiamen who received the order put away their weapons, carried their injured and immobile comrades on their backs, or just carried them away, and quickly retreated to the second line of defense.

Yu Ye and Sun Weichen led a group of sword and shield soldiers to cover the rear to prevent any accidents.

When the group of ghost beasts saw the two-legged beasts retreat, they suddenly became more violent and launched a fierce attack on the vines.

But for a moment, they found it difficult to break through the defense line constructed by the vines, and could only watch the two-legged beasts retreat to the defense line a hundred meters above, emitting roars of unwillingness.

As soon as Yu Ye, who was behind, entered the village gate, he loudly ordered the militia to close the gate, push down the rolling stones, and block the gate with the prepared stone bags.

"Shoot!" With the order, the defensive battle started again. The defenders on the second line of defense wall attacked the ghost beasts that broke through the vine defense line, avoided the rolling stones, and surged up from the bottom of the mountain road.

Suddenly, arrows rained down, bringing up splashes of blood and screams.

"Release!" With a shout, the disciples of Xuanxu Sect holding talismans of wind element on the village wall launched an attack on the group of ghost beasts surging on the mountain road.

"Whoosh" a green light bloomed and turned into green wind blades, whizzing towards the group of ghost beasts, bringing up a blood rain all over the sky.

Their mission was to protect the village gate and buy time for the militia to block the gate with stones.

"Everyone who has retreated from the first line of defense must return to the village to heal their wounds immediately. There must be no delay." Yu Ye ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The blood-soaked militia responded, dragging their tired and injured bodies, and walked towards the mountain village with difficulty.

If they had the energy to fight again, they would definitely not leave, but the reality is that they are injured and exhausted, so they have to retreat! They have to take the time to recover and prepare for the decisive battle!

"Don't go, don't go, kids, we are here." A group of peasant women hurried down the mountain carrying stretchers.

"Master Sun, you should also go back to the village and have a rest." Yu Ye said to Sun Weichen who looked a little tired.

Sun Weichen shook his head and said, "I'll just stay nearby to regulate my breathing in case of any accidents."

"Okay then." Yu Ye was no longer polite. He called a local militiaman and asked him to follow Taoist Hou Sun's orders. Then he quickly walked towards the village wall and met up with the elder who was commanding the second line of defense.

The second line of defense is stronger, taller, and longer in arc than the first line of defense. Correspondingly, there are more militiamen defending this line of defense, more than a thousand people, and the mountains are more precipitous, so the lethality is multiplied.

Even so, the group of ghost beasts remained fearless and undaunted. As one wave fell, another wave surged up, and the battle was extremely brutal.

Yujia Village was fighting a fierce battle with ghosts, and the same was true for other villages.

Hundreds of miles away, a rural village called Chenjiazhai was also under a raging attack from a horde of ghost beasts.

Unfortunately, they did not have the terrain of Yujiazhai, nor the strength of Yujiazhai, let alone reinforcements.

Without going into detail, one knows what they are about to face.

At the end of the fighting, the old, the weak, the women and the children in the village all went to the battlefield to defend, which shows how brutal the battle was. However, the outcome of the battle was already determined, and it was only a matter of time before the village was breached.

This is the cruelty that those with weak strength have to face!

In the deep forest eighty miles away from Forgotten Township, a unique battle is taking place.

Hundreds of wolf riders skillfully used the kite-flying tactic to launch a thrilling attack on the group of ghost beasts.
