Hu Shu looked at Jie Sect Disciple, who was gradually convinced by him, and felt a little relieved, but he knew that the real test was yet to come. At this time, Tongtian Cult Master's slightly urgent voice came from the communication magic weapon, telling him that Minor Factions's offensive was fierce and urgently needed support. Hu Shu did not hesitate at all and immediately selected a group of elite disciples and rushed towards the battlefield around Chaoge. A more intense battle was about to break out.
As soon as they arrived at Chaoge, Hu Shu quickly met Tongtian Cult Master. The two stood on the towering city wall of ZhaoGe City, Looking at the flying dust in the distance, it was a sign that Minor Factions's army was approaching. Hu Shu looked solemn, knowing that the situation was at a critical moment and deployment must be made immediately.
"Tongtian Cult Master, now Minor Factions is coming fiercely, we need to stabilize the defense line as soon as possible." Hu Shu said with firm eyes.
Tongtian Cult Master nodded slightly, with the same determination as Hu Shu in his eyes. "Yes, the top priority is to gather strength and give these people who want to take advantage of the situation a head-on blow."
Hu Shu did not hesitate for a moment and quickly sent a message to Di Xin. After receiving the order, Di Xin immediately showed outstanding leadership skills. He shuttled through the streets and alleys of ZhaoGe City, shouting in a loud voice, "Dear soldiers and civilians, now the enemy invaders are invading, Chaoge is in danger, we must unite as one to defend against foreign enemies!" His voice echoed in the city, full of strength and determination, inspiring everyone who heard it.
Immediately afterwards, Di Xin deployed the troops in the city in an orderly manner. He ordered groups of soldiers to carry heavy stones and wood and rush towards the city wall to strengthen the defenses. On the city wall, the soldiers were busy carrying arrows and wood, placing them neatly, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time. The craftsmen were nervously repairing the damaged city wall on the side, and the sound of clanking knocks was endless. The common people also responded to the call, some helped deliver supplies, and some boiled water for the soldiers to cook. There was a tense and orderly atmosphere throughout ZhaoGe City, and the soldiers and civilians worked together and quickly entered a defensive state.
At the same time, Hu Shu turned his attention to Yang Jian and Nezha, and said seriously, "Yang Jian, Nezha, you two will lead the elite troops and go forward immediately. Set an ambush around Chaoge. These Minor Factions must think that we are too busy dealing with the internal affairs of the Interception Sect to take care of them, so they will be unprepared. You must seize this opportunity and catch them off guard."
Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other, their eyes full of confidence and determination, and responded in unison, "I will obey Master's instructions!" The two quickly gathered their elite troops and left ZhaoGe City quietly. They rushed along the winding mountain road, and the sound of horse hooves was deliberately suppressed in the silent mountain forest. The team was like a black torrent, shuttling through the mountain forest.
Soon, they came to the planned ambush site. This was a valley with steep peaks on both sides and a narrow road in the middle, making it an excellent place for an ambush. Yang Jian observed the terrain and quickly made arrangements. "Brothers, follow my command. When the enemy enters the valley, we will cut off their retreat and attack them from both front and rear. We must kill them all." The soldiers nodded one after another, each found a hiding position, and quietly waited for the arrival of the prey.
Nezha was holding Fire-Tipped Spear, staring sharply at the mouth of the valley, exuding an intimidating momentum. He said to the soldiers beside him, "The battle will start later, don't panic, everyone, follow the orders, and you will make great achievements now!" The soldiers were infected by his momentum, clenched the weapons in their hands, and their morale was high.
After Hu Shu arranged the external ambush, he was still concerned about the internal situation of the Interception Sect. He knew very well that if the internal conflicts of the Interception Sect were not completely resolved, it would always be a hidden danger. Therefore, he allocated part of his energy to maintain contact with the loyal disciples who stayed in Jie Sect Camp through the messenger magic weapon.
"You pay close attention to the movements in the camp. Although those disciples who advocate giving up cooperation are temporarily suppressed, they should not take it lightly. If there is any disturbance, report it to me immediately." Hu Shu said to the communication magic weapon.
"Senior Hu Don't worry, we will stick to our posts and never let those with evil intentions succeed." A firm response came from the disciples on the other end of the communication magic weapon.
At the same time, Hu Shu also maintained close contact with Tongtian Cult Master. The two continued to communicate on the battlefield situation and response strategies through the communication magic weapon.
"Tongtian Cult Master, now the Chaoge defense line has been initially deployed, but Minor Factions has a large number of people, so we still need to be careful. I have made arrangements internally at the Interception Sect. If you need anything, just ask." Hu Shu said.
"Well, with you here, I feel more at ease. I will do my best to resist Minor Factions's frontal attack. Please pay more attention to the inside of the Interception Sect to prevent another accident." Tongtian Cult Master responded.
Inside ZhaoGe City, Di Xin continued to command busily. He looked at the mountains of defense materials piled up on the city wall and felt a little comforted. But he knew that the real test had yet to come. He looked up into the distance and murmured to himself, "No matter how many enemies come, I will definitely protect Chaoge and the people on my side."
Outside the city, the troops led by Yang Jian and Nezha had been in ambush for a long time. The scorching sun was high, and the sunlight shone on the faces of the soldiers through the gaps in the leaves. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, but they remained motionless, staring intently at the mouth of the valley.
Finally, the faint sound of horse hooves and noisy human voices were heard in the distance. Minor Factions's army was walking towards the valley unprepared. They thought that Chaoge was in chaos at this time and it was a good opportunity for them to attack, but they did not know that they had stepped into a trap step by step.
When the leading troops of Minor Factions entered the valley, Yang Jian gave the order, "Fire arrows!" Immediately, thousands of arrows were fired from both sides of the valley, shooting at the enemy like raindrops. The soldiers of Minor Factions were unprepared, and they were suddenly in chaos, with screams one after another.
"Charge!" Nezha shouted, holding Fire-Tipped Spear, and took the lead to fight out of the ambush. The soldiers followed Nezha like tigers down the mountain and rushed towards the enemy. For a time, the sound of killing and the clash of weapons echoed in the valley.
Minor Factions's army fell into chaos under this sudden attack. They tried to organize a counterattack, but were attacked from both sides and unable to do so. On the battlefield, blood stained the ground red, and broken arms and limbs could be seen everywhere.
However, Minor Factions had a large number of people after all. After a short period of chaos, they began to gradually stabilize their position and tried to break through the siege. The two sides fell into a fierce melee.
On ZhaoGe City Wall, Hu Shu and Tongtian Cult Master heard the shouts of killing coming from the direction of the valley, and knew that the ambush had worked. But they also knew that Minor Factions would not retreat easily, and this battle would be extremely difficult.
"It seems that Yang Jian and Nezha have already taken action, but Minor Factions is coming fiercely. We cannot take it lightly. We need to be ready to support them at any time." Hu Shu said.
Tongtian Cult Master nodded in agreement. "Yes, I will prepare some backup force just in case."
In Jie Sect Camp, although those disciples who advocated giving up cooperation did not take action for the time being, their eyes still showed unwillingness. They hid in the camp and discussed quietly.
"Are we just going to give up? Watching Hu Shu and Tongtian Cult Master continue to lead us against All Saints, we will only end up with a tragic end." A disciple whispered.
"Don't worry, their attention is now on the Chaoge battlefield. Let's look for another opportunity. As long as we can convince more disciples, we will still have a chance to change the situation." Another disciple's eyes flashed with a cunning light.
The preliminary layout of Chaoge's defense line has been completed, but Minor Factions is approaching fiercely, and Interception Sect's internal conflicts have not yet been completely resolved. Can this defense be successful? What variables will appear inside the Interception Sect?
