Chapter 25, Green Tree Village
Chapter 25, Qingshu Village
Sikong Wu is not old and has grown up very fast during this period. He is as tall as a middle-aged strong man. He wears iron armor, rides a silver-toothed elephant in the sixth-grade monster, and holds a cloud-breaking spear over ten feet long. He is extremely powerful and can't tell at all that he is just a sixteen-year-old boy.
Lei Meng's cultivation level has no effect on him, but will affect his actions. Therefore, he is still dressed up and riding a flying winged horse on the side of Sikong Wu, looking like a dying old man.
The most eye-catching thing is Han Yun on the right side of Sikong Wu. This guy is born with great power, wearing a full-body armor weighing 600 kilograms, and looks like he has no weight. He holds two giant swords that are seven feet long in his hand, but he is riding a fifth-grade monster, the black-armored rhinoceros, just like a giant god, obviously one head higher than the soldiers gathered below to prepare for battle!
Ren Zizhen was also under the city gate. When he saw Lei Meng and Sikong Wu coming, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to Sikong Wu and Lei Meng and said, "Little Marquis Sikong, Brother Lei, the manpower is ready."
Lei Meng nodded and then said to Sikong Wu: "This time we are mainly searching for the teams sent by the bandit coalition, so there is no need to be too many people. The thirty martial artists from Heijiao City and the ten martial artists from our Qintian City will go to battle with us."
Sikong Wu nodded and looked at the martial artists who gathered together. They were all in good spirits. Most of them were horses, and a few were mounts of other monsters. However, whether they were horses or ferocious beasts, they were all of them with great speed. Those horses had thick ankles and were very divine horses, which were not comparable to ordinary horses.
The silver-toothed giant elephant sitting on Sikong Wu is the best monster riding in the Marquis’ mansion. Although its speed is not amazing, it is far superior to ordinary horses. Its biggest advantage is its strong skin, strong weight, and extremely strong endurance. It is a weight of more than a thousand kilograms. It is not a problem to run all the way around for a day and a night. It is one of the most popular mounts on the battlefield. A tamed silver-toothed giant elephant cannot be bought without 300,000 taels of silver.
There are many people coming to Qintian City, but most of them are first-level warriors, and not many martial artists have the level of martial artists. This time, ten people were dispatched, almost one-third.
What surprised Sikong Wu was that in the crowd, he actually found Qiu Lianshan, the second son of the Black Horn, in the crowd. He didn't expect that he was very brave and dared to fight with the team. You must know that if he was ambushed by the main force of the bandit coalition, there were not many people who could come back alive.
When Qiu Lianshan saw Sikong Wu looking at him, he nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Sikong, this time we fight side by side, it's better to compare who killed more bandits!"
Sikong Wu frowned slightly. Most of the people who went to fight were Heijiao City, and Qiu Lianshan also followed him out, so it was probably difficult to command them.
Lei Meng had already discussed with Ren Zizhen. Although Qiu Lianshan was here, Lei Meng was the one who was really in charge. He turned to look at Han Yun and Cao Yun, and said in a deep voice: "You guys pay attention to protecting the safety of the young master!"
Then, he bowed to Ren Zizhen again, without any nonsense, gently pinched his feet with flying winged horses and ran away from the city first.
On the battlefield, Sikong Wu naturally could not make any suggestions about the little marquis, and followed Lei Feng.
More than thirty people came out one after another. Ren Zizhen ordered the city gate to be closed until everyone disappeared. His eyes were a little worried and he could not. He ordered the soldiers to be careful to prevent the bandit coalition from taking the opportunity to attack Jingtie Mine after learning the news. Then he went back to rest for a while.
At the same time, Black Horn City quietly sent two teams to act separately.
Before Sikong Wu and others walked ten miles away, they found a green-eyed kite circling above their heads.
The trained Green-Eyed Harrier can transmit information based on the flight movements. Qiu Lianshan looked at it slightly and shook his head and said, "This is not from our Heijiao City. It seems that the bandit coalition has already paid attention to our movements."
Lei Meng nodded and turned to Fan Ling next to him and said, "Can you get rid of this green-eyed harrier?"
Fan Ling is the martial artist in Qin Tiancheng who is responsible for controlling the Red Eye Eagle. Now there are two Red Eagle Eagle hovering over him. He thought for a moment: "It should be no problem, but if the bandit coalition forces are nearby, it may be difficult to conceal our whereabouts."
Lei Meng smiled: "I guess they already know that we are coming out. As long as they get rid of their eyes, it is not easy to find our whereabouts."
Compared with the bandit coalition, Sikong Wu and others who possessed the Red Eye Eagle naturally took the initiative.
With Fan Ling's clear roar, the two red-eyed eagles roared up and quickly rushed towards the green-eyed harrier.
Although the Green-Eyed Harrier turned around and escaped when he saw the Red-Eyed Eagle flying up, his speed was almost twice that of the Red-Eyed Eagle. Moreover, the Red-Eyed Eagle knew the tactics and attacked the front and back. The Green-Eyed Harrier did not fly four or five miles away, and the Red-Eyed Eagle cut off his neck with one claw.
During the pursuit, the Red Eagle also discovered the movements of the bandit coalition forces, about ten miles away from Sikong Wu and the others. However, the Bandit coalition forces were not as good as the Red Eagle's Eagle, and they didn't know that the Green Eagle's Eagle was captured and killed by the Red Eagle and was heading east.
The monster's intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary wild beasts. One of the red-eyed eagles flew back with the green-eyed harrier, and the wings flapped regularly, conveying the information they found.
Fan Ling and the two red-eyed eagles were almost connected day and night, and they immediately said, "There is a team of bandits ten miles east, about 80 to 100 people heading towards the east. We should not have found our whereabouts."
Qiu Lianshan was extremely familiar with the nearby terrain and pondered: "There is a valley about twenty miles east of here. There is a green tree village inside, and there are thousands of people living in it. Could it be that where is the target of the bandit coalition?"
He paused and said, "According to the news from his father, the main force of the bandit coalition has not left in Buning County. Do these dozens of bandits want to capture Qingshu Village? The people of Qingshu Village are fierce, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as people are sent to seal the exit of the valley, these dozens of people are afraid they will not be able to take it down."
Lei Meng is also very familiar with the situation nearby. After all, he has lived in Qintian City for decades. After thinking for a while, he said, "If this is the case, when they attack the village, we will attack from behind and eat this bandit. The terrain near Qingshu Village is flat, and even if the bandit coalition really has ambush, it will not be able to hide the Chie-Eye Diao's eyes."
Lei Meng made a decision to pay attention and made people speed up. While walking, he said to Sikong Wu: "The Marquis told me that the battlefield changes rapidly, and all tactics are from the entire battle level. When you are in the battlefield, you mainly learn to adapt to changes. Although we are just fighting with these bandits, the principle is similar to the confrontation between the army."
Sikong Wu was stunned for a moment, wondering why Lei Meng suddenly told him this.
Lei Meng then lowered his voice and said, "On the surface, we take the initiative, but no one knows whether the bandit coalition will secretly hide the strong among them and lure us up. The little marquis remember that if there are no strong hidden among the bandits, the little marquis will naturally be able to fight against the hostile and increase combat experience. If you really encounter an ambush, the little marquis must not hesitate and leave quickly under the protection of Han Yun and Cao Yun!"
Sikong Wu also knew that Lei Meng was not a joke. This was his first time competing with others with real swords and guns. If he died under the enemy swords and guns, Sikong Wu could not guarantee that he would have another chance to do it again, so he nodded with a positive face and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lei, I know how to do it!"
Everyone's mounts were extremely fast, and they soon approached the bandit coalition, and the bandit coalition also arrived outside Qingshu Village.
Sure enough, this team of nearly 100 gangsters was preparing to forcibly capture Qingshu Village.
According to them, many civilians nearby took refuge in the village, with more than 10,000 people inside, but most of them were ordinary civilians, and not many martial artists were in the village. As for those hunters and warriors, they lacked sharp weapons to defend the city, and there was not much threat to the bandits.
The bandit coalition is not like the regular army. It has the ordnance and troops that specialize in siegeing cities and land. It did not want to capture Qingshu Village. However, when the bandit coalition came to the nearby area to loot, it was ambushed by the Qingshu Village people. More than a dozen people lost their lives. The rest of the bandits had to retreat, which was considered to have caused these bandits to suffer a great loss for the first time.
When the iron-armed black ape Peng Linyu received the news, he was furious and immediately sent thirty martial artists and more than fifty martial artists and bandits to erase the Qingshu Village from the territory of Heijiao City!
The way of attacking the bandits is simple, but in fact there is no way to tell. Five or six martial artists wearing light armor summoned soul beasts, held several jars as big as water tanks and flew into the air, facing the sharp arrows shot from the Qingshu Village people, and smashed the jars in their hands down.
The people in Qingshu Village actually didn't want to provoke these bandits. However, the village that the bandits plundered two days ago was next to Qingshu Village. Most of them married the people in Qingshu Village. Hundreds of young and strong men with good fortune could not bear to watch the bandits massacre their relatives. When the bandits captured the village, they came out from behind. Not all the bandits were amazingly powerful. They were now taken advantage of by the people in Qingshu Village and lost more than a dozen lives.
The elders of Qingshu Village knew that this matter was irreparable, so they had to let the young man in the village guard the Gukou Village Gate. Now when they saw the bandits flying over, they immediately shot arrows to meet the enemy.
Except for a few third-grade warriors and two fourth-level martial artists, the rest of the people hunted bows and basically could not threaten the martial arts bandits who flew away in the air. Seeing the jar smashed down, the other party shot rockets, and the black oil flowing out of the jar burned, and dozens of people were burned in the sea of fire, causing panic among the Qingshu Village people!
The black oil from the bandit coalition emerged from the mountains. It was very easy to burn and difficult to extinguish. It also produced poisonous gas when burned. Although the bandits did not have special siege equipment, there were also people with outstanding strategies among them. They thought of this method to make up for their shortcomings in siege.
Before the Qingshu Village could extinguish the black oil flames, the bandits smashed several jars of black oil. The village lacked the city-guarding crossbow and the cloud-piercing crossbow, and was basically unprepared for these martial artists with flying soul beasts.
The people of Qingshu Village saw a fire igniting from the village, and the wooden green vines that built the village gate were burning, so they could only retreat to the valley.
The leader of the bandit coalition was Xiong Wu, the sixth-grade soul-refining martial artist. He easily broke the gate of Qingshu Village. He was in a good mood and laughed and said, "These little bugs actually dared to surround and kill our brothers. This time they knew how powerful we are!"
"After entering the village, all the men were killed. In addition, Brother Peng said that all the things we snatched belong to us, and there are tens of thousands of people here, so there must be many good goods!"
Sikong Wu and others had actually arrived a mile away from these bandits. They were watching the bandits attack Qingshu Village in a bamboo forest, but they were a little surprised: "Isn't this oil? I didn't expect that the bandits could come up with such a way to attack the village!"
Although oil has many uses and is indispensable in the mechanical era, Sikong Wu is not a chemistry issue. Even after graduating from engineering, even if he finds oil, it is not very useful. It is just a bit unexpected.
Lei Meng observed secretly for a while and did not find any special figure among the bandits. Although the strong Martial Emperor could not see anything from the surface, Lei Meng, as the Martial Emperor, could always see some clues as the Martial Emperor.
As the fire subsided, the bandits drove their mounts and approached the entrance of the valley. Several flying martial artists were holding strong bows and constantly shooting and killing the Qingshuzhai people who were preparing to regain the entrance of the valley.
The people in Qingshu Village were just passionate, and the number of people could not make up for the gap in strength. Even if some people rushed to the valley entrance and faced the bandits who were scattered armor and roaring with various ferocious beasts, in just a moment, two or three hundred people fell on the land less than 30 feet in radius of the valley entrance, and the blood flowed out dyed the soil dark red.
Although several bandits were torn off their mounts by the Qingshu Village people who were desperate and lost their lives, several third-grade warriors and two fourth-grade martial artists with higher cultivation in Qingshu Village have been killed by the bandits. The remaining Qingshu Village people could not stop the bandits at all. They just supported two or three incense sticks and were completely killed by the bandits.
However, the people in Qingshu Village are fierce. Although they are extremely frightened, they also know that behind them are their parents, wives and children. Once they are killed by bandits, it is no different from letting wolves into flocks. They all rushed towards the bandits without hesitation, blocking the bandits' torrents with their flesh and blood.
Although such a scene is nothing compared to the real battlefield, Sikong Wu was also exploding in his blood when he saw this tragic slaughter scene, and felt extremely sad and angry in his heart. He almost couldn't help but drive the Silver Tooth Giant Elephant to kill him.
Lei Meng's calmness is not comparable to that of Sikong Wu, a rookie on the battlefield. He watched the bandits kill coldly, without a trace of expression on his face. Until all the bandits entered the valley, he waved his hand slightly and said in a deep voice: "Strike!"
Sikong Wu had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He had forgotten all the previous thunderous orders. His eyes were full of scarlet red. As the ground trembled slightly, the silver-toothed elephant, one foot tall, took heavy steps and rushed towards the entrance of Qingshuzhai Valley.
When Han Yun and Cao Yun saw Sikong Wu taking the lead in attacking, they quickly drove the mount to follow him.
Lei Meng sighed slightly when he saw Sikong Wu's appearance. Naturally, Sikong Wu would not be in danger alone. He had to slapped the back of the flying horse and jumped out of the bamboo forest. He pointed a sword in his hand and led thirty elite martial artists to attack Qingshu Village!
