In the night, there were more than twenty people sitting in a grotto with many oil lamps lit.
On the highest platform in the grotto, there is a large golden chair. Although it is not pure gold, just brass, it looks particularly majestic because of its size and height.
Below this big chair, there are two rows of black iron chairs. Whether it is a golden chair or a long curtain on the top of the cave above these black iron chairs, making this grotto look more profound and layered.
At the same time, it even took on a solemn and deep aura like a temple out of thin air.
In the middle of the golden chair was a middle-aged man wearing a dark green robe and a dark jade crown on his head, who looked extremely violent and cold.
A few seconds before the middle-aged man stopped, the more than 20 people sitting on the big black iron chair under this middle-aged man had already been involved in a fierce quarrel over one thing. Until this moment, the fierce quarrel not only did not end, but also got worse.
The sound became more and more intense, and the sound waves rumbled throughout the grotto, and the curtains fluttered slightly because of these sound waves.
The middle-aged man had been watching with indifference for the past few seconds. Only then did a sneer appear on his face.
"What are you afraid of?"
He opened his mouth and said sarcastically: "It's just a surrender letter earlier and some traces of the enemy were found today. Are you afraid of this?"
All the sounds in the entire grotto suddenly stopped instantly. The more than twenty people wearing iron-gray leather armor on the black iron seats all closed their mouths and looked at this middle-aged man with an extremely violent and cold face.
A chill appeared in his eyes involuntarily.
"I'm not Gong Tingjue."
The middle-aged man wearing a dark jade crown spoke up and said the third sentence.
The entire grotto became even quieter, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.
"Even Gu Yunjing, who owns the Black Flag Army, can't do anything to me. Do we still need to be afraid of a woman who only knows how to kill?"
The middle-aged man glanced at everyone below him indifferently and mocked: "Afraid she might be a holy master?"
"Even if it's a Saint Master, let alone one Saint Master, even if it's ten Saint Masters, what does that mean?"
"As long as we can't attack it, there's no need to be afraid... Don't forget who spent twenty years running this place. If you are afraid, you are insulting my hard work! Insulting my ability!"
The middle-aged man's cold and violent voice began to sound like waves in the grotto.
Hearing this, the chills in the hearts of all the people on the black iron seats became even stronger, but most of them couldn't help but doubt in their hearts, if they couldn't attack, so what, they were still afraid of encountering the God of Death when they went out.
Don’t you have to be afraid?
As if he knew what these people below were thinking, the middle-aged man's face became even more sarcastic, "You have been following me for a long time, but to my surprise, you are still like mud and can't hold on to the wall... It's hard to deal with this woman.
It’s very difficult. It’s not like you don’t know the transportation route of some grain and grass for the Dragon and Snake Frontier Army. Just send someone out tomorrow to rob a line of grain transport trucks for the Frontier Army and come back.”
"Hit the military grain truck at the border?!"
As soon as the middle-aged man said these words, many people on the black iron seats below changed their expressions and reacted, but many people were still shocked. Because for them, this kind of completely offended
What happened to the border troops was like jumping into a pit of fire.
"Why, is there anyone who still doesn't understand?"
The middle-aged man sneered: "In recent years, the border army has been unwilling to pay a high price to encircle and suppress this place, so I have the ability to arrange this place into such an unassailable place... We have indeed not crossed the border army's bottom line in these years.
But just because we have never done anything like this, would the border army immediately think of us?"
"In this Dragon-Snake Frontier Army, which bandit is the most famous and the most unscrupulous?"
"The Dragon and Snake Border Army will naturally think of the thousands of people led by this woman, and will naturally bring anger to them. No matter how strong that woman is, can she be stronger than the Dragon and Snake Border Army?"
"In the end, even if the Dragon and Snake border troops found out that they were related to us, they still couldn't attack us, and they still couldn't attack us. Your eyes must see farther. Don't forget that Yunqin is currently in the southern expedition. How can it be possible?
Are corpses coming to flood our place?"
"On this entire border, other bandits are just bandits, but here we are a country. This is the biggest difference... Yun Qin's southern expedition is the best opportunity for us to grow stronger. We will become kings and ministers in the future.
, there is a chance...you are still here afraid of such a woman?"
The cold and majestic voice shook in this grotto.
Amid all the sincere responses and praises below, this middle-aged man wearing a black jade crown looked out of the window on the side of the cave with great majesty and absolute confidence.
He is indeed qualified to have such confidence.
Because he is the most powerful bandit leader in the eastern border of Yunqin in the past twenty years, Guo Dongshen.
Outside the window of this cave, there is a very high and steep cliff.
In the lower half of the cliff, there are only some low mountain trees and some weeds growing on the cliff. Only in the upper half of the cliff, from the top, are some finger-thick mountain vines hanging down.
Between the cover of mountain vines, you can faintly see many cave entrances.
Many caves are infinitely deep and full of mystery, but in some caves, you can faintly see the reflection of cold gold and iron.
At the top of the cliff, you can see an extremely thick stone wall with turrets and the dark shadows of many large ordnance.
Not just this side.
Almost all three sides of this steep mountain are like this. Only one side of the mountain is slightly tilted. An artificial mountain path has been carved out that can only accommodate two people standing side by side at the same time. It is so steep that it is impossible to stand firmly without leaning down.
This steep mountain path carved out of the cliff is the only way to reach the upper half of this steep mountain.
But even so, this mountain road is still cut into sections by more than a dozen watchtowers built abruptly on the steep mountain.
This place is Aojiao Mountain in the Longshe Mountain Range.
The thorn in the side of the Dragon Snake border army, but still had to turn a blind eye and pretend it didn't exist. Lin Xi told Chi Xiaoye and all the caves quite frankly that just because of him, Nangong Weiyang, Zhan Taiqian
A place that Tangdu cannot attack at all.
…
The battles between practitioners are completely different from the battles between armies and practitioners, and the battles between armies.
Guo Dongshen himself was a high-ranking Yunqin military general who committed a serious crime, so he knew exactly what the difference was.
For the defending army, even the strong ones among the Saint Masters only have an advantage of between three and four hundred steps.
Because many powerful sword masters among the holy masters can only control the sword for three to four hundred steps. Some top saint masters can control the sword for more than five hundred steps, or even nearly a thousand steps. The flying sword is farther away from the body.
The further away, the more terrifying the soul power consumed becomes.
Therefore, when he started to manage Aojiao Mountain twenty years ago, the arrangements and defenses made by Guo Dongshen were able to block the Holy Masters from a distance of four to five hundred steps.
The defensive offensive that started halfway up the mountain was more than 800 steps from the bottom of the mountain.
On the cliff above 800 steps, Guo Dongshen arranged a large number of rolling logs and falling rocks from the beginning.
These rolling logs and fallen rocks weigh more than a thousand kilograms, and are fixed with leather ropes. When someone wants to rush up the mountain, they can be cut off quickly.
Thousands of kilograms of rolling logs and falling rocks, relying on the downward momentum, I am afraid that even the Holy Master will only think about dodging instead of trying to catch them, especially when climbing on the cliff.
In the next twenty years, Guo Dongshen spent countless efforts to install more than two hundred various Yunqin standard crossbows, as well as a larger number of fixed disc-type noose crossbows.
On the top of the cliff, Guo Dongshen also arranged dozens of catapults.
Not only that... Guo Dongshen even invented a slide rail blade car.
He dug a very long cave diagonally downward into the mountain and set up a slide rail. At the end of the slide rail, there were many sharp boulders stacked like carriage carriages, and the heads were all equipped with sharp blades.
After removing the blocker and transforming the slide rails, the speed at which this kind of blade car rushes out of the cave will be astonishing. It can fall thousands of steps down the mountain, and it can be adjusted by adjusting the slide rail.
The initial sliding height of the blade car is used to control the falling distance of the blade car.
After so many powerful ordnances were deployed, even not counting the archery towers and the throwing of more than 3,000 famous bandits, the entire Aojiao Mountain, if Lin Xi could describe it, was like a cannon with countless cannons stretched out.
Tube of the Battlestar.
Anyway, for Lin Xi, even making a huge hot air balloon and imitating Biluoling's famous man Cang Yue falling from the sky is simply not feasible.
Because the mountain is too high and the mountain wind is too strong, it is impossible to land. There are so many homemade crossbows on the top of the mountain that look like city guard crossbows, and they can easily shoot anything floating in the air into powder.
Just like if you want to kill a Saint Master, the best way is to kill him with more Saint Masters.
In order to break through such a fortress built with so many heavy ordnances, the best way is to use powerful ordnance.
However, the terrain of the Longshe Mountain Range itself is rugged, and below the dangerous peak of Aojiao Mountain is the "Turtle Back Mountain", which is like terraced fields with two gradients.
In this way, there is probably no large-scale ordnance in this world that can directly bombard Aojiao Mountain. However, it is not difficult for the bandits on Aojiao Mountain to get down, because there is an unusually wide road under the cliff.
, a primitive canyon full of mist. Guo Dongshen installed countless winches and cranes on this cliff to allow people to go up and down. However, the Yunqin military may dispatch tens of thousands of troops at the same time, and they cannot completely block the primitive canyon.
canyon.
And this is why Guo Dongshen spent the past twenty years investing all the looted things, money and energy into fortifications at all costs.
For him, this place has always been a country, an unbreakable country.
Therefore, he sneered at Nangong Weiyang's previous recruitment and threats, and completely ignored the most powerful bandits on the eastern border.
Because of such an extremely solid foundation, and because of Yun Qin's southern expedition, he also had greater ambitions.
However, just as this violent and cold man confidently looked at the flowing clouds outside the cave, he smelled a hint of blood.
