About ten minutes later, there was still no one on the pass, but the soldiers below the pass who were frantically hacking away at the thick city gates and stone walls were already panting.
Although the pass is dangerous, the danger lies in the fact that there are defenders. If there are no defenders, no matter how thick the gate is and how strong the stone wall is, it will not be able to withstand intensive hewing.
Mountain warfare is different from siege warfare on the plains. It is impossible to carry large engineering weapons such as rams up the mountain. Breaking the door depends entirely on the weapons in the hands of the soldiers.
"Kara!" Suddenly there was a crisp crackling sound, and a crack was finally cut out of the thick city gate.
The soldiers cheered and cheered, but there was still no sign of the defenders on the city.
But Xu Lei and Ji Xin's brows furrowed slightly.
Even if the enemy's intention was to wait for work, the city gate was about to be breached. Logically speaking, they should have appeared long ago, but now they were still unusually absent.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Xu Lei and Ji Xin are not so naive as to think that the other party will run away when they see them.
However, even Ji Xin, the god of war on land, couldn't figure out what the opponent wanted to do for a while. He first gave up such an excellent defensive place. If he didn't show up at the beginning, it might be said that he was just waiting for work. However,
The city gate is about to be breached, but the opponent is still not even visible. What does this mean?
An uneasy feeling gradually surged in Xu Lei's heart, while Ji Xin closed his eyes slightly and his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about what the other party wanted.
"What does it smell like?" Xu Lei sniffed hard and asked about a strange smell.
"No!" Ji Xin suddenly shouted, without having time to explain to Xu Lei at the side, he shouted loudly, "Tiger Camp, obey the order, turtle shell formation!"
The turtle shell formation is a defensive formation for archers. It consists of a number of heavy steps holding shields. The shields are held on the head and closely connected with the others. It looks like a turtle shell. This formation can
Effectively restrains the opponent's archer attacks.
The soldiers of the Tiger Camp didn't know what was going on, but they immediately began to deploy the turtle formation. All the soldiers stepped back and quickly moved closer with their shields held high.
Ji Xin also smelled the strange smell just now, and almost instantly he guessed what the other party wanted. Even though he had experienced countless battles, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"It's tung oil, there's saltpeter buried underground!" Ji Xin said briefly.
Xu Lei was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed! Before he had time to react, dozens of rockets with flames on their tips fell from the sky!
Xu Lei didn't have time to think too much. He raised one arm and a black light flashed through him. He raised the demon sword and jumped up, heading towards the dozens of clusters of rockets coming towards him.
Ji Xin also used his Hunyuan Double Hammer War Spirit at the same time and flew towards the clusters of rockets.
Ding-ding-ding-ding——
There was a sound of gold and iron clashing. Xu Lei Yao Dao was very fast and knocked out several rockets in an instant. Ji Xin's round double hammers were powerful and heavy, and he swung his arms together and swept away a large number of rockets, but any
However, a few sporadic rockets missed, but fortunately the turtle array had been deployed and did not land on the ground.
Xu Lei and Ji Xin did not stop after sweeping away the rockets. They twisted in mid-air and flew like eagles toward the city gate that had opened a hole.
Hereby——
Xu Lei was the first to arrive, and the Demonic Sword completely penetrated the thick city gate. He immediately flipped his wrist and twisted hard, breaking a large piece of the city gate with a crash, and then pulled out the Demonic Sword and leaned back.
At this moment, Ji Xin's Hunyuan Double Hammers also flew over and hit the city gate where Xu Lei had just picked out with a loud bang. The thick folding fan of the city gate was being cut and chiselled intensively, with the knob of the demon knife and the heavy hammer.
After three fierce attacks, it finally collapsed.
"Kill me!" Ji Xin shouted.
The Yinluo City sergeants who had long been frustrated and panicked immediately swarmed in with weapons brandished. Dozens of bandits on the other side of the city gate who were preparing to launch a second round of rockets were immediately killed and fled in all directions.
Only then did Xu Lei realize that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat!
The situation just now seems simple, but when you think about it carefully, it is extremely dangerous. If Ji Xin hadn't discovered the opponent's secret in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The opponent's tactic is extremely ruthless, and it is so interconnected that it is extremely brilliant!
First, flammable materials such as saltpeter and sulfur were buried in front of the city gate, and the soldiers of Yinluo City were allowed to cut wildly. Then they unknowingly mixed in two "eyes" to monitor every move. When they were panting, the city gate would
When they broke through, the two "eyes" immediately used some method to send a signal to the bandits who had already been ambushing behind the pass, and then launched a salvo of rockets.
If Ji Xin hadn't spied on it immediately and let these rockets fall to the ground where a large amount of saltpeter and sulfur were buried, the place would instantly turn into a sea of fire. Xu Lei and Ji Xin could have escaped unscathed, but these thousands of silver soldiers fell into the city.
I'm afraid everything will turn into coke here!
Now that things have developed, Xu Lei naturally thought of the "hostage" incident the day before, and fell into the opponent's trap. It seemed that his side was setting up the opponent's plan, but in fact he was entering the game within the opponent's plan. This was a trick.
What a brilliant plan!
It's just that the soldiers in Yinluo City didn't see through the mystery of Fangcai. They had no idea that they had almost turned into a roast chicken just now. They just thought that with their "efforts", they finally broke through the pass. Now they are all full of momentum and chasing madly.
Kill the dozens of bandits who fled in all directions.
"It seems that military training is impossible." Xu Lei smiled, a bit self-deprecating in his words.
Ji Xin nodded meaningfully, "But we can achieve much better results than training troops."
Xu Lei was stunned and asked doubtfully: "You mean..."
Ji Xin nodded, "To be able to lay out such an ingenious strategy, these bandits are definitely not a mob, and their leader is definitely not an ordinary person. If we take them under our command, our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved!"
Xu Lei thought for a moment and suddenly smiled with relief, "It's just that next, I have to ask you, the God of War on land, to personally take command, otherwise I don't know what 'surprises' we will encounter ahead."
Ji Xin laughed and said, "I'm not afraid that there will be no surprises, but I'm afraid that there will be too few surprises." After saying this, he shouted loudly and ordered the four battalions to stop the pursuit and quickly assemble. After sorting things out, Ji Xin led the four battalions to move forward again.
This time Xu Lei was not in a hurry to follow him. Even though his opponent seemed difficult to deal with, he definitely never expected that his opponent today would be the God of War on land back then. He was a little green in front of the God of War on land.
, even if he believed that the sky would fall the next day, Xu Lei would not believe that Ji Xin would lose to a bandit leader. The title of God of War on land is not given casually.
Xu Lei moved around on the spot and looked around relaxedly. He found that the scenery here was actually very beautiful. He thought that he would bring Ling Qingyi up to see it if he had the chance. He would definitely like it here.
There were faint shouts of killing in the distance. It seemed that Ji Xin was ambushed by bandits again. Xu Lei looked relaxed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking at the clouds in the sky, as if he was thinking about something.
In fact, from the day he went to the altar to worship Ji Xin as the commander-in-chief of the army, he made up his mind to give up the command of the army and handed over all the affairs to Ji Xin. However, at that time, Xu Lei still felt that he was because of
Too busy, otherwise if you manage the army seriously, you won't be any worse than anyone else.
But just now, he suddenly felt a little disappointed. If Ji Xin hadn't led the troops personally this time, he would never have seen through the opponent's secrets in the first place. If the opponent's ruthless strategy was successful,
, Xu Lei was left with only two words - failure.
What made Xu Lei a little disappointed was not because he now knew how far behind he was compared to those truly outstanding commanders, but because he couldn't accept the fact that if he were to lead the troops this time, he would be defeated by a group of bandits.
It was just a group of bandits, Xu Lei smiled bitterly, and began to doubt himself.
The shouts of death from the front gradually faded away, and what was left was the cheers of the sergeants. It seemed that Ji Xin had won his first victory. How was this victory achieved? What strategy did the opponent deploy, and how did Ji Xin defeat it?
, if it were you, would you be able to see through it like Ji Xin?
Xu Lei didn't want to think too much about this, and he didn't dare to think about it, so he didn't leave with the army just now.
Xu Lei shook his head hard and stopped thinking about these negative thoughts. He took a deep breath and found a path to move forward quickly.
Next to the bandit camp, the red-eyed wolf-headed flag occasionally unfurled in the gentle breeze.
"Report——" A minion rushed in hastily, "Your Majesty, the enemy has broken through the third layer of defense and is now attacking our camp. Please give your order to evacuate as soon as possible!"
This handsome man, who is called the King, has a calm face, and there is no wave on his face. He is dressed in a silver robe, has silver-gray white hair, and has a face with soft lines. Anyone who sees such a man will definitely be shocked.
Not with that ferocious mountain king
But he happens to be a mountain king, and he is the only mountain king in this huge rolling mountain range. Before he came, there were many mountain kings here, who burned, killed, raped and kidnapped all kinds of evil. Soon after he came, there were only
He is a mountain king.
"I know, let's go down." The young mountain king waved his hand, then turned his back and stood with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the lifelike wolf totem hanging on the wall.
"Master He, what do you think?" His voice was very soft, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
"I am willing to live and die with the king!" Master He used to be a businessman. He usually spoke softly and softly, but this time his tone was sonorous and powerful! He couldn't understand this young king like him.
I also know what he will do next. Under his handsome and elegant appearance, he is a cold and lonely lone wolf. A lone wolf will only fight to death and will not compromise.
The young Shan Dawang turned around slightly, looked at the master who had been with him for several years, and said with a relaxed smile, "This is not like what you usually say."
Master He also smiled, "I'm a businessman, and I'm used to being careful with my calculations. Since I followed the king, all the brothers in this village are under my control, so I'm very afraid of death. I've never been involved in fighting or killing.
If you don’t participate, even if you have to participate, you will stay far away until the end..."
"You are not afraid of death because you are really afraid of death. You are afraid that if you die, who will take care of these brothers' eating, drinking and drinking?" the young Mountain King said with a soft smile, interrupting Master He.
Master He smiled and nodded, "The enemy will attack here soon. If this place is attacked, the brothers will not even have a place to stay." After finishing speaking, he sighed and said, "So this time, I
I can no longer be afraid of death."
The young mountain king walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "We fight side by side!"
Master He looked at him, his eyes a little red, "Fight side by side!"
It is unimaginable that this is a conversation between a five-star fighting spirit school and an ordinary person who has no strength to restrain himself.
At this moment, a man walked in from the front door in a swaggering manner. This man was about twenty years old, a little thin, with an ordinary face, except for his particularly bright eyes.
"I also want to fight side by side with you two, but I don't know if you two can join me in conquering the world and creating a hegemony!"
