The muskets of the Perak camp are sharp, but they need to be reloaded after a round of fire, and they cannot be continuously suppressed.

In these years, Zhu Hong led the Thorn Tiger to protect the trading fleet of the "Vicious Dog Gate", and also attacked many times to destroy the stronghold of the pirates, and the name of the "God of War" was already known to everyone in the southeast coastal zone, and with the accumulation of war experience, he acted more cautiously.

Because whether the decision of the main general is correct or not will directly affect the life and death of dozens and hundreds of subordinates, and what Zhu Hong cannot tolerate the most is the sacrifice of his companions.

Ximen Hitomi said: "Then what do you say to do?"

Zhu Hong said: "First cut down trees, build some big shields and ladders, send some disciples to attack the village, test the strength of the Demon Dao sect guarding the village, and then make plans." ”

Ximen Tong frowned, and said, "Then it will take at least an hour or two, it's too slow! I think it's better to rush over and take the Zhaimen in one fell swoop! Senior brother, are you right?"

This time, the four small groups led the team to attack Zagu Village, and Hua Bushi instructed Yu Qianli to take charge of the matter, and how to act must be decided by him.

Yu Qianli stared into the distance, and did not answer Ximen Tong's question, but pointed to the hillside and said, "Can you see those straws under the wall, why are they there?"

As he pointed out, twenty feet outside the wall, there were indeed many bundles of straw and some broken wood on the ground. In late autumn in September, it is the time for the rice fields to be harvested, and it is not surprising that the straw that has been harvested is placed on the open field.

Li Hu said: "Senior brother, I suspect that those straws will be weird, I will take dozens of disciples to rush over and take a turn, and I will know if there are traps, and I don't need to cut down trees to make shields, how about it?"

Yu Qianli said: "Okay, be careful, and come back as soon as you notice something wrong." ”

Li Hu agreed, and was about to pull out his horse and leave, only to hear Ximen Tong say: "I'll go with the fourth junior brother." ”

Seeing that Yu Qianli nodded in agreement, the two of them immediately ordered fifty Perak Camp disciples, shouted and rushed straight towards the hillside.

Li Hu and Ximen Tong rushed to the front, and fifty knights maintained the formation behind, and soon galloped close to thirty or forty zhang outside the wall. This place was already within range of the crossbows, and sparse arrows suddenly fell from the stone wall, and the disciples of the Perak Camp raised their muskets to return fire.

In terms of the power of long-range attacks, the firearms equipped by the disciples of the Thunderbolt Camp are much stronger than bows and arrows, and all of a sudden, the sound of "beeping" explosions continued, and the lead bullets flew straight to the stone chips above the wall battlements, and the opponent's archers did not dare to show their heads, so they could only hide behind the wall and draw their bows and shoot, not at all, they could not pose any threat, and even the crossbow machines on the wall could not aim and fire at the city under the suppression of muskets.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, more than fifty horsemen had rushed closer to the twenty zhang below the wall, and came to the place where the ground was paved with straw.

Different from the previous speculation, there was no trap mechanism under the straw, and there was nothing abnormal when stepping on it, Li Hu and Ximen Hitomi galloped in front, and they could see it clearly.

At this time, only the "boom" sound on the stone wall could be heard, but it was the rock-moving carts that began to throw stones. Twenty zhang has reached the range where the stone cart can be thrown, but there are only a few such instruments on the stone wall, and it is not difficult to avoid the stones thrown down with a little care.

With a "bang", a cobblestone fell on the ground next to Lihu's mount, smashing it to pieces. Li Hu only smelled a pungent smell, stared at it, his face suddenly changed, and shouted: "The enemy is going to attack with fire, everyone retreat quickly!"

It turned out that these stone carts were not throwing cobblestone at all, but clay pots the size of wine jars, which contained black oil. The clay pot fell to the ground and smashed, and the black oil was scattered and splashed, and a large piece suddenly flowed out.

At this time, Ximen Hitomi was also aware of it, and shouted loudly to order the retreat, and a group of disciples of the Perak camp reined in and turned around.

More than a dozen clay pots filled with black oil were smashed on the ground, and then a row of rockets was shot from under the stone wall, which instantly ignited the black oil, and the fire exploded.

This kind of fire attack method of throwing oil cans was also used by the "Evil Dog Gate" when they were begging for the "Rich Alliance" in the Yu Realm that day, but they didn't expect that they would be used by the Demon Dao on themselves today.

Fortunately, Li Hu and Ximen Hitomi saw the opportunity quickly, and a group of Perak camp disciples were skilled and well-trained, and as soon as they heard the order, they pulled out their horses and galloped back, most of them galloped back in time, only the last two or three horses were burned, but the fire on the horses was quickly extinguished, and only a little minor injury was not a major problem.

Fifty horsemen retreated to the bottom of the hillside, and everyone looked back at the stone wall of Zagu Village, and there was already thick smoke billowing out, and the flames soared into the sky, igniting a whole sea of fire several feet high.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※, when the four small thunderbolt camps and the tiger warriors began to attack Zagu Village, Hua Bushi was riding a horse on the mountain road at the southern foot of the Holy Maiden Peak.

There are more than 400 people in the various factions attacking the Immortal Cliff, although the number of men and horses who attacked the five Tibetan tribes is almost the same, the strength is not the same, and it can definitely be called a master, and the lineup is extremely luxurious.

Yuantong Abbot, Bao Xuan Daojun, Tang Zilan, Gu Fanji, Lingguo Master, Painstaking Shenni, Feiyunzi, everyone is the leader of a sect, and their martial arts are all at the top. And the people who accompanied them were also elite masters in various sects.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this group of people and horses brought together the strongest forces of the Baidao Sect in the Daming Rivers and Lakes.

Of course, the two masters in the "Evil Dog Gate", Leng Miansu and the Jade Fairy, were also indispensable, and there were forty-nine Qingyunwei with them.

More than half of the Xiong family's Da Zhen Department was injured in the battle a few months ago, and the remaining people have now returned to Okura Island with the two elders of the "Wanjintang", but Xiong Bailing and Xiong Tiannan, father and son, did not go back, and followed Sima Rulan to the Sichuan Realm, and they are also in the team at the moment.

Chu Yiyi, Meng Huan and Bai Yiling were all left in the camp at the foot of the mountain by Hua Bushi, responsible for liaising with the men and horses of various raids, and there were also three hundred disciples of various factions left in the camp to facilitate support and response.

Chu Yiyi's martial arts are not strong, but he is cautious, meticulous and thoughtful, and it is very suitable to host the backup, with Bai Yiling and Meng Huan to help, there should be no problem. As for the other seven sects, there are still many masters, but just because of the gap between the various factions, if there is a real accident, it is inevitable that the dispatch and rescue will be biased, and it is not reassuring.

According to the path drawn by Tang Tiexin's posthumous map, the group walked for two hours and had reached the mountainside.

It was noon, and the stream of the melting snow from the mountains was flowing by the roadside, and in the distance the green grass was a herd of sheep that looked like rolling balls of cotton flowers, and the trees beside the road were dense and verdant, and the cedars, firs, and spruces were like giant umbrellas, and the overlapping branches only leaked speckled shadows of the sun.

The scenery of these pristine mountains and forests is refreshing.

However, no matter how good the scenery is, everyone is not in much mood to appreciate it. In addition to always guarding against whether there are enemies around to ambush, all they want is to climb to the top of the mountain as soon as possible so that they can capture the magic lair of the Immortal Cliff.

After walking for more than half an hour, the road ahead began to steepen, and it became difficult for the horses to climb upward. As the altitude has risen, the trees have gradually disappeared, and the mountains are full of bare rocks and sparse weeds. When you look up, you can see that the top of the Virgin Peak is silvery white, and it is very beautiful.

It didn't take long for the snow line to arrive. Above was a world covered in snow and ice, with no road in sight and no horses able to go any further.

The crowd had to dismount and walk, leaving a few disciples here to guard the horses.

Above the snow line, the mountain is steeper, the ground is covered with snow and ice, which is very difficult to walk, and the mountain wind is bitter and cold. However, all the people here are martial arts masters, with deep internal strength, not afraid of cold winds, and performing light exercises to climb upwards, which is not very difficult.

And Hua Bushi put on the fur fur that had been prepared a long time ago, and was carried by Sima Rulan, but he could also keep up with the speed of everyone.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard an exclamation from the snow slope ahead, followed by several sounds of blade fighting. The eight disciples of the "Kongtong Sect" who opened the way in front of them rolled down the slope with a miserable scream.

"Kongtong faction" is famous for Qimen martial arts, these eight people are the descendants of Feiyunzi, so that the five elements of the wheel, the tiger basket, the flying claw, the chain flail, the iron pipa, the seal of the sky, the nail rake, the Emei stab eight kinds of Qimen weapons, but also join hands to form a "Eight Directions Strange Soldier Array" to meet the enemy, both offensive and defensive are strong, in the rivers and lakes people called "the West Eight Ying", in the area of Gansu and Shaanxi is quite famous.

Because of this, when Hua Bushi asked who was willing to open the way in front of the team, Feiyunzi took the initiative to ask Ying and send these eight Ying to go, but he didn't expect that as soon as he was attacked by the enemy, two people were injured immediately.

It's no wonder that the West Frontier is Baying, but it's because the raiders are too well hidden. The people who appeared to raid were four Demon Dao cultists dressed in white and armed with steel knives, who dug holes in the ground and curled up in the holes, covered with ice and snow. When these eight people approached, these Demon Dao Sect members suddenly jumped out of the ground, and it was inevitable that Ba Ying would be injured by surprise.

Although the martial arts of the people in the White Dao are high, they often do not have much experience in dealing with surprise attacks.

Two people were injured, and the "Eight Directions Surprise Formation" couldn't get up, and the remaining six people each held their blades to engage each other, but the four Demon Dao Sect members didn't like to fight, and ran up the hill with their legs. Where was Liuying willing to give up, he immediately showed light skills and chased after him.

The slopes of the snow here are very steep, and there are two protruding boulders thirty feet above, and only one pass six or seven feet wide is passable.

Hua Bushiyan, who was at the bottom of the slope, saw this terrain, his face changed slightly, and he shouted: "Tell them to come back, don't chase them!"
