Not to mention that Hulk was defeated and fled, the battle of Moonfall City not only lost troops but also completely crushed his confidence, he led a group of remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Stone Cliff City, this area is steep and full of high mountains and deep valleys, easy to defend and difficult to attack. He wanted to take advantage of the terrain to hold back the undead army, but he also knew that this was not a long-term solution, and if he could not defeat the enemy army head-on, it would only be a matter of survival, so he sent a message to the royal city, asking King Durini to send reinforcements.

However, it is said that Guristan led the army of the undead into Moonfall City, which is a large city occupied by the Shadow Clan, and tens of thousands of undead people lived in the city before, and now the city has been recovered, and the tribesmen who had fled their homes have returned to their hometowns to rebuild their homes, and Guristan ordered the army to help the people resume production.

Half a month passed, the moon set in order in the city, the people's lives gradually got on the right track, and the whole city began to prosper. On this day, Guristan, Yi Qingfeng, Prince Arthur and others discussed the next plan of action, Guristan said: "Now that everything in the city is renewed, the people's lives are stable and stable, and our soldiers and horses are also in good spirits after these days of rest, General Yiben seems that it is time to attack Stone Cliff City, I don't know what you think?"

Prince Arthur said: "What the general said is very true, now that we have strong soldiers and horses, food and grass are abundant, it is an excellent time to attack the city and plunder the land, and this king agrees to attack Stone Cliff City." ”

Yi Qingfeng, Duran, Xiang Chen and the others also had no objections, and Guristan said: "Okay, since everyone agrees, without further ado, let's set off tomorrow, and everyone go down and prepare." ”

The people listened to the order and dispersed to prepare.

The next day, except for a group of soldiers and horses who stayed behind to garrison Moonset City, the other soldiers and horses marched towards Stone Cliff City under the leadership of Guristan himself. The army marched into the boundary of Stone Cliff City for several days, and along the way, they saw steep mountains and dense jungles, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the march. Yi Qingfeng and the others cautiously moved forward, for fear of being ambushed by the enemy.

On this day, everyone marched to a dangerous mountainous area, only to see that the mountain road in front of them was narrow and difficult to walk, only allowing three or five people to pass side by side, and on both sides were stone walls up to tens of meters high, and the grass and trees above the stone wall were luxuriant, and it would be difficult to find if the enemy was hiding in it. Guristan has been fighting for many years, so he is naturally aware of the danger here, and he said to Yi Qingfeng on the side: "Yi Daxia, what if there are ambushes here?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "I am also thinking about this matter below, this is a natural danger, the enemy army will set up an ambush here, I think it is better to send a soldier and horse to explore the road in front of me, and then send a soldier and horse to try to go around the mountain, so that even if the enemy has an ambush, we will not be caught off guard." ”

Guristan said: "What Yi Daxia said is extremely true, these two soldiers and horses must send capable generals to go out, I don't know which hero is willing to go?"

Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang said: "We are willing to go." ”

Guristan said, "Okay, two heroes, be careful. As he spoke, he asked the two of them to light up a troop and march forward in two ways. Xiang Chen led a group of soldiers and horses to move forward slowly, and when he reached the center of the mountain road, arrows rained down on the stone wall, and then many boulders and rolling logs fell down. Fortunately, Xiang Chen had already taken precautions, and he yelled: "Be careful." As he spoke, his body spiraled up, and as his palms struck out quickly, one after another violent qi exploded the flying arrows and boulder rolling logs.

The sergeants also took up their shields to resist, and because they were well prepared, the casualties were not very serious. At this time, seeing the enemy army appearing, Yi Qingfeng, Mu Qianqian, and Du Lan in the distance quickly led the army to kill them, and together with Xiang Chen, they launched an attack on the enemy army above the ancient wall.

Although the enemy army has a condescending advantage, the archers and musketeers in the troops led by Yi Qingfeng and others have superb marksmanship, and this kind of long-distance attack can also exert powerful firepower even in unfavorable terrain, only to see that they are almost missed, and the sound of screams from time to time in the enemy formation is heard.

Fierce exchanges of fire ensued between soldiers and horses on the side of the mountain, resulting in casualties on both sides. And Wu Renliang, who secretly went up the mountain before, led the soldiers and horses to the enemy army unconsciously, and their sudden appearance made the enemy army chaotic, Wu Renliang shouted angrily: "Everyone kill." As he spoke, he took the lead in attacking, only to see a series of violent Gang Qi surging out and rushing towards the enemy formation, and the Gang Qi screamed again and again, and several enemy soldiers were knocked to the ground in an instant.

Wu Renliang became more and more brave in battle, leading a group of soldiers to kill the Shadow Clan troops like a tiger into a flock, the enemy army was difficult to care about at this time, on one side was the close attack of Wu Renliang's troops, and on the other side was the sharp arrows and bullets flying from under the stone wall, under the opponent's two-way attack, the Shadow Clan troops were beaten to the point that they could not find the north at all, like a lamb to the slaughter.

Seeing that there was only one way to die if the fight continued, the Shadow Clan troops hurriedly scattered and fled, in line with the principle of poor and no pursuit, Wu Renliang did not rush to pursue, but led the soldiers and horses to join the army and continue to move forward. Although it was just an ordinary encounter, the generals were very happy that they did not let the enemy's tricks succeed.

Xiang Chen said: "These thieves of the Shadow Clan still want to use this kind of carving insect calculation to trick us, then they have miscalculated, how can we easily be defeated by them after a hundred battles." ”

Wu Renliang said: "It seems that they have nothing to do, they can only use this little trick to sneak attack us, and we will definitely win this battle." ”

Mu Qianqian said: "Don't be too blindly optimistic, it's too early to say victory now, we are not familiar with the terrain in this area, according to me, it is better to be cautious." ”

Xiang Chen said: "Qianqian, you are too conservative, judging from the few encounters with Hulk, they are completely below, otherwise Hulk would not have fled to this barren mountain and wilderness." Even if we are not familiar with the terrain here, as long as we fight steadily and don't rush too aggressively, they can't help us at all, as evidenced by the battle just now. ”

Wu Renliang said: "That's it, if you want to say that the terrain is not familiar, this time I volunteered to be a pioneer, gave me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I went to take the head of the Hulk." ”

Xiang Chen argued: "There are 3,000 soldiers and horses, I can also go and take the head of that fellow Xiang, this pioneer still let me do a good job." ”

Seeing that the two of them were fighting each other, Yi Qingfeng and Guristan said with a smile: "It's a good thing that you two have such a strong desire to fight, since you both want to be the pioneers of this path, it is better to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses each, remember not to rush in case of the enemy, if there is any emergency, immediately send someone to inform us, don't call the shots, but listen to it?"

Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang were overjoyed: "Understand, you can rest assured, we won't make a mistake." As he spoke, each of them raised two thousand soldiers and horses and hurried forward. After a day of walking, the road was unimpeded, and it was only a few dozen miles away from Stone Cliff City, and the two couldn't help but relax a little.

Wu Renliang picked up the wine gourd and drank a few sips and said: "I'll just say that Hulk can't play any tricks, I don't even see a figure who came to fight along the way, it seems that yesterday's battle has scared them, and it is estimated that Hulk will be thinking about how to slip away again." ”

Xiang Chen laughed and said: "Your analysis is reasonable, if you let them run away again, it will be too cheap for them, in my opinion, we don't need to wait for the army behind, with these 4,000 soldiers and horses, we can also fight, how about simply smashing Huanglong and killing them in Stone Cliff City?"

Wu Renliang said: "Okay, it has always been Qingfeng and Qianqian who have taken the lead in attacking the city and plundering the land, and we are just auxiliaries, this time we will directly take down the Stone Cliff City in one fell swoop, and let them see our means." ”

The two of them had already decided on a plan, and then ordered the troops to move forward at full speed, heading towards Stone Cliff City.

After walking for about two hours, a dense forest suddenly appeared in front of him blocking the way, Xiang Chen said: "There is not even a decent road in this forest, it seems that there are few people in normal times, do you think the enemy army will set up an ambush inside?"

Wu Renliang said: "It's not that this is not impossible, but even if there is an ambush, the four thousand soldiers and horses under our hands are not fuel-efficient lamps, as long as the big guys are careful, the enemy army will not be so easy to take advantage of us." ”

Xiang Chen said: "You have a point, let's be careful." As he spoke, he led the soldiers and horses into the dense forest.

Although the two of them were not worried at all, but marching and fighting was not child's play, after entering the dense forest, the two divided the troops into several teams and entered one after another, keeping a certain distance between each team to deal with emergencies. After walking forward for a while, the forest was calm and there was nothing unusual, Wu Renliang said: "Are we too careful, in fact, this is a very ordinary forest, and there is no danger in it at all." ”

Xiang Chen said: "It is not wrong to be cautious, and if there is an enemy ambush, you will not panic." He said and moved on. The four thousand soldiers and horses were divided into several teams and walked carefully in the dense forest, when suddenly there was an exclamation from a group of soldiers and horses, and dozens of people shouted with panicked faces: "Feet, our feet can't move." ”

Some other soldiers in the same team were so frightened that they hurriedly ran in all directions, but unexpectedly, more than a dozen people couldn't move under their feet as if they were bolted, Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang saw that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't move, everyone, all go back the same way." ”

As soon as the words fell, countless sounds of breaking the sky came in my ears, and I saw dense sharp arrows shooting towards everyone from all directions, and a group of soldiers hurriedly picked up their shields to resist, but these sharp arrows were not ordinary bows and arrows, but magic arrows that were applied to the power of shadows, and their penetrating ability was several times stronger than ordinary sharp arrows.

It turned out that at this time, above the trees in the forest were a hundred Shadow Clan's magic priests, who were the Shadow Clan's ace troops, and had fought in countless battles. This priest army is personally commanded by the Shadow Clan High Priest Sivani, and the members of the team are all magical warriors who have mastered the power of the Shadow, more than ten times stronger than ordinary soldiers.

The undead soldiers and horses who fell into the shadow trap became lambs to be slaughtered at this time, a series of screams sounded, and dozens of people were killed by the shadow arrows in an instant, Wu Renliang and Xiang Chen hurriedly organized the soldiers and horses to resist the sharp arrows that came at them, and slowly withdrew from the dense forest according to the original path. The shadow arrows continued to shoot one after another, and it was very difficult for his soldiers and horses to resist, Xiang Chen shouted angrily: "Raised by a son of a bitch, Lao Tzu will blow you all up." Saying that, the Great Zhou Tianzhen Qi in his body urged with all his might, and at the same time, his palms slapped out wildly, only to see a raging gang mixed with countless lightning and lightning roaring upward, and a series of roars came, and many shadow arrows flying were shattered.

With Xiang Chen's strong resistance, a group of undead soldiers suddenly felt a sharp decrease in pressure, they accelerated their speed and withdrew from the dense forest, seeing Xiang Chen's shot, Wu Renliang was not to be outdone, urging the true qi in his body to fight side by side with him, the flying shadow arrows were greatly reduced in attack power under the resistance of the two, and the undead soldiers escaped from the dense forest in embarrassment under the cover of the two.

In this battle, hundreds of soldiers and horses were lost without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, and Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang's previous relaxed expressions were swept away, replaced by angry faces. Wu Renliang said: "Damn, I didn't expect the enemy army to have such powerful means, we don't seem to be able to get through this dense forest, what should we do next?"

Xiang Chen said: "Only wait for the arrival of the army behind us to see what methods Qingfeng, Qianqian, and General Guristan can solve." ”

Wu Renliang said: "It is reasonable, this place is not suitable for a long time, it is better for us to retreat to the open land behind and set up camp." ”

Xiang Chen said: "Okay, then let's go." As he spoke, the two led their men and horses towards an open place behind them.
