Chapter 254 Betrayal, Defense Line Breached
The main hall of the Immortal Sect.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Upon hearing the steward's report, Sect Master Qi asked with some excitement.
If that's true, then their plan has succeeded.
Once Qin Wu regains consciousness, given his personality, he will definitely seek revenge in a frenzy.
It's quite possible that even a terrestrial deity could intervene.
Then their plan would be considered a success.
"Confirmed, but our scouts reported that all the assassins we sent were killed."
The deacon affirmed.
Upon receiving the news, he immediately came to report it, not daring to delay in the slightest.
"Hahaha, okay, okay."
Master Qi laughed heartily.
After years of frustration, I finally heard some good news today.
"Notify the front lines to prepare; Dong Qin is likely to retaliate fiercely."
After laughing, Sect Leader Qi immediately gave instructions.
"Yes."
The steward accepted the order and left immediately.
Before long, the news reached the front lines.
The immortal army immediately began preparations.
They knew very well what would happen if the Eastern Qin army went berserk.
They're already suffocating under constant pressure; you can imagine what they'll do if they go crazy.
They all began to doubt whether they could withstand the frenzied Eastern Qin army.
That night, the generals who had secretly surrendered to Eastern Qin received orders not to fight the next day, but to have others lead the resistance.
Once Dong Qin has wiped out these people, it will be time for them to make their move and break through the Immortal Sect's defenses in one fell swoop.
Then they went straight for the Immortal Sect.
Qin Wu learned of the Immortal Sect's actions immediately.
He also wanted to see how the Immortal Sect would react when 70% of the army defected.
Will the sect leader of the Immortal Sect be so angry that he dies?
Both sides are making preparations.
Day two.
With careful planning, when the Eastern Qin army launched its attack, it was only those troops that had not been won over who came out to resist.
Under the frenzied artillery fire of the Eastern Qin army, their casualties were even greater than usual.
Countless soldiers fell under the artillery fire of Eastern Qin.
However, the Immortal Sect army was helpless and kept sending out large numbers of troops to try to break through the blockade of the Eastern Qin army's artillery fire.
But this time, they had no chance at all. The Eastern Qin army launched a furious barrage of artillery fire, leaving them no opportunity whatsoever.
They then realized that the Eastern Qin army had never gone all out against them.
Otherwise, with such artillery fire, no matter how many of them there were, they wouldn't be enough to kill the Eastern Qin army.
The Eastern Qin army did not stop at all, continuing its bombardment and advance.
Knowing they couldn't hold them off, the Immortal Sect army began a slow retreat.
However, it was extremely difficult for an army of tens of millions to retreat, so they continued to send men to cover the rear while the rest of the army retreated.
However, due to the secret defection of 70% of the generals, those who were sent to cover the rear were the generals who had not defected.
The result can be imagined.
The Eastern Qin army bombarded the area relentlessly for three days.
Finally, the time has come.
Those traitorous generals led their men in rebellion and began to besiege the remaining army of the Immortal Sect.
In the midst of the army.
"Marshal, something terrible has happened."
A messenger approached the marshal of the Immortal Sect army in a panic.
"What's the matter? Why are you shouting?"
The marshal rebuked him.
He is currently struggling with how to defend against the Eastern Qin army.
"Marshal, there has been a mutiny in the army. Countless soldiers have launched a surprise attack on our elite troops, resulting in heavy casualties. I'm afraid our men won't be able to hold out for much longer."
The messenger said in a panic.
He hadn't expected that the Eastern Qin army hadn't yet rushed over.
A mutiny broke out among their own people.
"Tell me, what happened? Why did the mutiny occur?"
The marshal was greatly surprised.
A mutiny in the army at this time is not a good thing; if it gets out of control, they're finished.
"I don't know either. Those armies suddenly launched an attack on us without giving us any time to react, as if it were pre-arranged. And the number of people involved in this mutiny is definitely not small."
"The messenger said."
The sheer number of the densely packed rebels was impossible to determine at that moment.
Moreover, it was already dark, making an investigation impossible.
"Issue the order to suppress immediately."
The marshal roared.
He could tell from the messenger's tone that the number of people involved in this mutiny must be quite large.
"Marshal, hurry! We can't hold them off any longer! Those lowly people have all rebelled!"
At that moment, a general covered in blood rushed in, shouting in fear and anger.
He and his army were dispatched from a country directly controlled by the Immortal Sect, making them the Immortal Sect's direct army.
He has always looked down on armies from other forces.
Unexpectedly, one day those troops would all betray them.
"What? How is that possible? How dare they?"
The marshal did not believe it.
"Marshal, let's go quickly! There's absolutely no chance of this going wrong. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."
As the general spoke, he stepped forward and pulled the marshal away, running him outside.
Once the marshal was brought out, he already knew that this was true.
He did hear shouts of battle outside from inside the command tent, but he did not come out to see what was happening.
Now that I see it, if I don't run, I'll only die.
Without further questioning, he immediately ordered a retreat.
Upon receiving the order, the Immortal Sect's direct army immediately retreated with all its might, fleeing to the rear.
As for the defense line being unable to hold, then it simply cannot be held; there is nothing they can do about it.
With their escape, the Immortal Sect's defenses officially collapsed, and the rest of the journey was smooth for the Eastern Qin army.
After a period of pursuit, the rebels stopped and began to reorganize their army, awaiting the arrival of the Eastern Qin army.
Before long, Qi Ye led his army to the scene, and it took them two whole days to complete the incorporation of the surrendered troops.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Sect received the news the moment their defenses were breached.
Sect Leader Qi angrily demanded to know what had happened.
Why did the front lines collapse so quickly?
After reading the battle report, Sect Master Qi was so enraged that he fainted.
The defection of 70% of the army led to the collapse of the front lines, and now the last line of defense for the Immortal Sect has been breached.
In just a few days, the Eastern Qin army will likely be attacking.
In order to prevent the Eastern Qin army from directly attacking the sect's location.
After regaining consciousness, Sect Leader Qi immediately discussed countermeasures with Elder Gu Lu and others.
The final decision was to have a Grandmaster-level expert take action and quickly rebuild a defensive line.
It was used to hinder the advance of the Eastern Qin army.
With the intervention of these martial artists, the defensive line was quickly established.
When Qi Ye led his troops to the last city of the Immortal Sect, a towering city wall stretching for an unknown distance blocked their path.
Looking at the city wall, Qi Ye couldn't help but admire the grand scale of the Immortal Sect.
Such a defensive line was established in such a short time.
Even their artillery wouldn't be able to break through in a short time, especially with their forced march, aiming to reach the Immortal Sect's mountain gate before the sect could establish a proper defense.
We traveled continuously without much rest.
For now, we can only set up camp where we are.
Wait for the main force and supplies to arrive.
To put it bluntly, they didn't bring enough shells and had to wait for supplies from the rear.
