This gave Liang Yong an opportunity. He only needed to quickly eliminate Dupont and the Cavaliers. The news was still blocked on Qizhou Island. The mainland did not know about it. It would take a process until they knew it, and as long as Liang Yong blocked it well. , maybe a few months, a year or two, the news will not leak out.

This window period is the golden time Liang Yong needs. He can build Qizhou Island on a large scale, establish a complete military industrial base, produce fully-organized weapon systems, and at the same time vigorously expand the military and prepare for war. Once he can form tens of thousands of people, The People's Army of the People's Armed Forces, when the Holy Cult was invading on a large scale, they also had the ability to protect themselves and would not let the Holy Cult easily attack Qizhou Island.

Build Qizhou Island into a solid base to compete with the Holy Cult.

But if the war with Dupont drags on, not only will Dupont continue to move troops to reinforce it, making it more and more difficult to deal with, but the situation on Qizhou Island will inevitably be leaked, attracting the attention of the Holy Cult, and Liang Yong will be destroyed by then. Dupont will also attract continuous counterattacks from the Holy Religion.

Dupont was a little depressed. Although the enemy was on the outskirts of the city and it was only a few dozen miles away from the city to suppress the bandits, his army did not go smoothly from the beginning. Just five miles away from the city, there was a fork in the road. The guide he found looked at the fork in the road. With a confused look on his face, he said that there was originally only one road, but now it became two. He didn't know how to go and needed to stand on a high place to check.

Okay, let's go to the nearby hillside to check, and the army will stop advancing.

Two knights escorted the guide up the nearby hillside. As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, two gunshots were heard. The knight was killed. The guide was so frightened that he rolled down the cliff and his body was not found.

Dupont was furious and sent people to chase the murderer. When the pursuers rushed to the top of the mountain, they discovered that the enemy had launched a sneak attack from the opposite mountain. The distance between the two mountains was 500 meters in a straight line. By this time, the enemy had already disappeared.

However, there were gains. The pursuers found that a fork in the road was a dead end. It was only a few hundred meters newly opened, so the army continued to advance. But after walking two miles, the problem came again. There was a river in front, and only the wooden bridge on the river was demolished. There are a few isolated bridge piers below.

This was not a problem for Dupont. He brought a logistics force of several thousand people. With a wave of the flag, the logistics troops immediately built a bridge. However, his army had to stop and rest again.

Moreover, there were more than two problems encountered along the way. Each time, the army stopped and struggled for a while. No wonder Dupont was depressed. It was almost noon when he set off early in the morning. He had only walked 10 miles, and there were still many people ahead of him. I don't know how much trouble awaits, let alone how far away I am from the enemy's position.

When the logistics troops once again cleared away the large piles of rubble on the road, Dupont finally couldn't help but loudly ordered: "All knights listen to the order, dismount and light up, and march with me." They are all top-grade immortals, and these miscellaneous small obstacles can be They couldn't stop them. The slow march just now was just to show off their noble knightly army, but the stops and starts along the way completely exhausted Dupont's patience.

500 black and white knights accepted the order in unison, dismounted one after another, abandoned unnecessary luggage, and followed Dupont quickly over the mountains with only their weapons, while the logistics troops of several thousand people just continued to stop and go, repairing the damaged roads. Okay, set up checkpoints and supply stations along the way.

Dupont advanced quickly with 500 people. The efficiency was amazing, and he advanced 15 miles in one hour. From a distance, he could see the canyon between the two mountains. Don't think that this is a strategic location. The distance between the two peaks is ten miles. , the terrain in the middle is flat and not suitable for an ambush at all.

But right at the intersection, there was a stone tablet over one meter high. Apparently it had just been built not long ago, and the large red characters written on it had not yet dried. However, the words on it made Dupont's nose crooked.

"The forbidden area of ​​Rising Sun Manor, where idlers stop,"

There is also a row of small words on the back of the stone tablet: "Those who trespass will die."

Fuck you, I am the governor of Qizhou Island, and every plant and tree on the land here is my property. How dare you set up a private manor on my land and not allow me to enter.

"Smash the stone monument for me," Dupont yelled.

Two stout knights rushed forward and swung sledgehammers to hit the stone monument. To them, the stone monument, which was more than one meter high and half a foot thick, was as fragile as tofu. Not to mention using hammers, they could even hit the stone monument with their bare hands and palms. Have to be crushed.

The two men indeed had extraordinary skills. When the hammer came down, there was a loud bang, and the stone tablet broke into eight pieces. There was actually a wisp of green smoke and a hissing sound. Everyone was surprised and didn't realize it. A bigger explosion sounded. The sky shattered and the earth cracked, sand and rocks flew everywhere.

The bodies of the two knights were torn into countless pieces in an instant. A broken leg flew 50 meters away. Dupont and others standing 5 meters away were also shocked and fell backward. They were hit by countless shrapnel and gravel and were seriously injured. More than a dozen.

"Governor,"

"godfather,"

The men screamed together and rushed towards Dupont. More than a dozen strong men pressed Dupont down to protect him. They did not dare to get up even after the explosion for a long time.

"Bah, bah...you fool, get out of the way, I'm fine," Dupont cursed, his face already ugly, but now it was filled with black smoke and mud, and it was as black as the bottom of the pot.

"Father, are you okay?" Everyone got up quickly. The last guy who got up was kicked hard by Dupont, but he didn't dare to cry out for pain and asked Dupont with great concern.

"You can't die, hateful," Dupont yelled: "Charge me and kill all of you."

Even the frustration made him faint.

Everyone did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly brandished their weapons, yelled and charged. In the distance, they could vaguely see the shadow of the manor among the green trees. The distance was only 4 or 5 miles away, and they could kill them all in one go without any problem.

But as soon as a group of people ran out a few dozen meters, a loud rumbling sound sounded again. This time it was not one sound, but several. It exploded in multiple locations. There were actually many landmines buried on the ground. In such an open place, the impact of landmines The power is easiest to exert, knocking down dozens of people at once, and more than a dozen died tragically on the spot.

Now Dupont didn't dare to move. He realized that these were powerful weapons that could kill people. No wonder he couldn't be reckless. No wonder a whole squadron was wiped out before. It turned out that they all died from powerful firearms like the enemy's.

Dupont observed carefully and found that the roads leading to the manor were all newly built, with soft and fresh soil paved on them. It was impossible to tell whether there were firearms buried underground.

"Advance from the untouched areas on both sides," Dupont ordered cautiously.

Some knights divided into two teams and walked along the grass on both sides of the road. They looked very nervous and stared at the ground all the time. If they found any traces of excavation, they took a detour.

But just ten meters out, there was another loud noise, and four or five knights fell down in the grass. The enemy actually arranged a bomb in the grass. They did not need to step on it to detonate it, but connected the fuse to the bush and exploded when they were pulled.
