Chapter 399: The land route is under siege
As soon as Mai Ke realized that the enemy was slowing down the speed of the advance by water, but did not attack the fleet with all his might, he naturally thought that their main direction of attack was the land expeditionary force.
This kind of well-planned enemy is the most terrifying! They must have exhausted all their plans and made sufficient preparations before they took the initiative to attack.
In this way, Liuhua and the others fell into a strict crisis. If there is still time, Mai Ke will ask them to stop advancing and stay in the border they have just occupied, and then execute the plan when the situation is clear.
It doesn't even matter if you retreat, as long as you don't put them in danger.
It's a pity that these ideas of Mai Ke are too beautiful. As soon as he connected with Liuhua, Liuhua's nervousness and regret were perceived. Sure enough, the situation is not good!
"We are surrounded! The enemy is strong!" said Sù Mai Ke.
"Hold on, I'll get over here!"
He hurriedly explained to Napoleon, and asked him to continue to dig the river with all his might, reach Jiading as quickly as possible, and when he arrived, if he did not achieve a rendezvous with the land route, he would immediately attack with all his strength, hoping to relieve the pressure on the land route.
Before he finished speaking, Mai Ke had already lifted into the air, and then cast a spirit rhino to move, and in the next second, he had already arrived at the place where the two armies were fighting.
Looking down from the sky, even the well-informed Mai Ke felt numb in his scalp for a while.
I saw that this is a basin, and the basin is surrounded by hills, and it is the kind of multi-layered surrounding. Now Liuhua is in the middle of the basin, which was originally the only way to Jiading.
The surrounding hills are densely packed with enemies. There are at least 100,000 of them! Although there are trees growing here, fortunately they are not too tall so that they can be seen from above.
Mai Ke roughly counted it, and there were a total of ten layers of encirclement. With such a tight encirclement, no matter how strong the expeditionary force is, it will be difficult to break through.
To add insult to injury, the weapons of these people are still very advanced, if not comparable to the level of the expeditionary force.
Mai Ke didn't know that both the Qin Dynasty and the French military faction were fully supportive of the Great Tree Sect. Equipped them with state-of-the-art weapons.
Looking at these besiegers. There were probably a thousand French troops. They are best recognized, because the color of their clothes is the same as that of Napoleon's navy, and they are blue all over the body.
There are also a thousand people, which should be the so-called Qin Wanghu's army. They are all dressed in red.
The largest number of people is the third category. They have all kinds of things on their lower bodies and feet. The upper body is the same long-sleeved shirt, with a white base and a large tree as a pattern on the front and back. And the tree itself is green.
Compare with the situation introduced by Ruan Tianci. Mai Ke knew that these people were all from the Great Tree Sect, which was so overwhelming. It's just one more variable, how did their weapons suddenly come into line with the world?
Don't worry about that for now, let's talk about it after the rendezvous with the six strokes.
Mai Ke planted an upside-down onion, like a meteor, and plunged headlong into it, landing directly at the location of the six strokes.
A small tent had been set up here, and inside Liuhua and Ruan Shixiong were racking their brains to find a way to break through, and they were helpless, Mai Ke lifted the curtain and walked in.
After saying hello, Mai Ke came to the simple sand table, and on a small purple flag, the words "Binding Dragon Valley" were written, which must be the place where the expeditionary force was trapped.
The expeditionary force was now concentrated in the center of the basin, where bows and flints could be avoided from the surrounding highlands. However, the import and export are blocked, and it is difficult to get out of these two places.
In addition to deliberations, this small tent was also a resting place for the sick and wounded. After exchanging the situation a little, Mai Ke first got these people to the better.
After being healed, they all became the best warriors. Mai Ke told them to return to their respective teams and tell their superiors and comrades to hold their own lines.
At this moment, two company commanders came in covered in dust and panting. When Liuhua looked at them like this, he knew that the task was not completed. He told Sù Mai Ke that this was already the eighth breakout, and all of them ended in failure.
The tasks of the two company commanders were not the same, one was to attack the east and the other to break through to the west. However, the result of the failure is similar to the process, and it is returned at the same time.
Mai Ke asked them to tell about the situation of the enemy.
The task of the company commander who tested the west was to open the way home, because the west was the way they came here. What made the company commander angry was that the enemy who was defending there was the same general and his soldiers who had just escaped from Bianhe.
Now those people are no longer weak and incompetent, but very strong. Because of this, he was sent to block the back of the expeditionary force. Because as we all know, at the critical moment of escaping, whoever dares to block it will definitely play with whom.
As a result, the expeditionary force company led by him, as soon as it approached the exit of the basin, was covered by a burst of flint guns, suffered heavy casualties, and had to retreat, without even a chance to play for its life.
The company commander who went to the east to test the situation reported that the situation was much the same, and there was basically no chance to get close to the enemy.
Mai Ke instructed to stop such temptations for the time being, and to hold still and see how the enemy reacted.
It didn't take long for the encircled enemy to go into action. I saw a shout from the enemy in the first layer of encirclement, and all of them jumped up from the ground and attacked the expeditionary force.
There are more than 10,000 people in this circle alone.
They swooped down from a great height, firing their guns and arrows as they ran, and the sound was very great.
There are several ways to eliminate these swarming enemies, but all of them, without exception, are contrary to his original intentions, because these methods are premised on mass destruction.
Mai Ke's ultimate goal is to save, not kill. Despite the dangers, he did not forget this purpose in the slightest.
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and the bows, arrows and bullets were already able to cause damage to the expeditionary force, Mai Ke immediately made a decision, operated the spirit rhino, and created a defensive cover out of thin air, and with a bang, covered everyone in it.
From then on, the shots of these bows and flint muskets were all ineffective, and they were blocked by the shield, and in a short time, they were piled up in front of the shield.
Since the shield was colorless and transparent, the attackers could not see it at all, and the continued pouring of flint bullets and bows and arrows could not be seen, even by the expeditionary force inside the shield. When they saw the excitement of the enemies who were getting closer and closer, they had no effect on themselves, and they thought that these enemies were putting on a show.
After a while, the enemy rushed to the shield, and it was not until they collided with it that they knew that there was a great mystery here. The front had to stop, and the back continued to rush forward, and suddenly it was a mess.
This good opportunity, how could Mai Ke let it go, and immediately guarded the protective shield, the expeditionary force roared out like a tiger out of the cage, and rushed the enemy into chaos at once.
The first charge of the enemy was thus broken. (To be continued......)
