Chapter 40: The Siege

(Weekend, one shift)

No one knew that there had been a mysterious black-robed person who had haunted near the stone village where they had settled, and the former army that had entered Yulong Mountain in advance to search for the enemy's traces found that the chaotic forces were gathered in Huanglongyuan, three hundred miles away.

Huanglongyuan was originally a mountain lake in the depths of Yulong Mountain, and the drought that lasted for several years reduced the water area of Huanglongyuan to less than one-tenth of what it used to be, but it was also one of the few water sources in the depths of Yulong Mountain.

The more than 100,000 rioters who fled into Yulong Mountain could only gather near a water source like Huanglongyuan.

Previously, Chen Qing, Xie Wenzhuo, Lu Hongqian and others infiltrated Yulong Mountain to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and also noticed that there were chaotic people gathering near Huanglongyuan, but the main force of the chaotic people had not yet gathered in Huanglongyuan at that time.

The mountains, peaks and valleys near Huanglongyuan happen to be the watershed of the two towns of Wuwei Army and Hexiang Army.

If you want to suppress the rebellious people who have gathered in Huanglongyuan, you can only send a small group of sect soldiers to suppress it, and fight quickly.

Otherwise, if Wuwei Shenhou Dong Liang dispatched tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Tieliu camp and brazenly marched into Yulong Mountain, it would be impossible for the Hexiang Army to protect the general's mansion without a little reaction, and it was even possible to send troops to enter Yulong Mountain from the south to guard, and then the situation would be completely complicated.

Before Huanglongyuan, there were mountain people who built a cottage according to the danger, and the displaced people made a rebellion, and built it as a base camp, Chen Hai and they rushed to Huanglongyuan, and they saw a solid black rock village, embedded between two towering peaks, and the terrain was extremely dangerous.

The confrontation between the two peaks is like the Tianmen Gate, and after the Tianmen Twin Peaks is the Huanglongyuan Mountain Lake; and the stone slope of thousands of meters wide before the Tianmen Twin Peaks is steep and slippery, and the stone path carved out is narrow and winding, completely exposed to the attack of the Black Rock Village.

Before the main force rushed over, the four hundred Dao soldiers of the front army tried to storm it, but they were repelled several times by the beating wood and rolling stones, and there were casualties.

The vast majority of the inner disciples who make up the Chinese army have opened up the Secret Palace of the Spirit Sea, which can store the true yuan mana, and use the magic weapon spirit sword, which can resist strong enemies thousands of kilometers away and cut off the heads of strong enemies;

Although an inner disciple like Chen Qing could even drive the spirit sword that had been cultivated to two or three thousand meters away to kill the enemy, as the distance increased, the control of the spirit sword would weaken sharply.

Among the hundreds of thousands of chaotic people, there are also many martial warriors who are proficient in combat skills, even if they can't resist the sword and refine the magic weapon, but at close range, they can also fight against the spirit sword that Xuan Xiu commands.

Generally speaking, if an inner disciple who has stepped into the Soul Clearing Realm wants to maximize his strength, he must limit the distance between him and the enemy to a range of three or four hundred meters. If you are far away, the power of the spirit sword and magic weapon will be weakened, and if you are closer, you will be easily entangled by strong enemies, and you will not be able to concentrate on the sword.

At this time, the most simple and effective tactic is to press the Taoist disciples and their troops up from the steep stone slope to cover the flanks, so that the inner disciples of the Chinese army can get close to the stone village, and then concentrate on the magic weapon and spirit sword, and blast the solid stone wall open, so that the morale of the chaotic people can be broken in one fell swoop, and the stone village can be attacked as quickly as possible.

At this time, it is not far from completely eradicating this chaotic people and solving the crisis in the Jade Dragon Mansion.

Chen Hai is at the bottom, but even if he is not qualified to participate in the military conference, seeing the deployment and adjustment of the Chinese army, the front army, and the left and right guards, he also knows the plans of those inner disciples, such tactics cannot be said to be bad, but Chen Hai always feels that it is too easy, but his status at this time is low, and he is confused, so Shen Kun and Ge Tong will listen.

Even Zhou Jun didn't pay much attention to his doubts.

And the upper echelons to Liang Siyu, Li Xianghai and others only want to solve the war in Yulong Mountain as soon as possible before attracting the attention of Hexiang Military Town.

****************************

After a short rest, the front army, which had accumulated a few casualties in the early stage, stayed and sat in the formation, and the six hundred elite Dao soldiers of the left and right guards launched an offensive against Shizhai directly from both flanks.

More than a dozen ferocious spirit birds flew into the blue sky, emitting a whistle with the sound of Jin Ge.

From time to time, birds of prey swooped down from high altitudes, grabbed the rebel sentinels who were sneaking close from the two wings to reconnoitre, grabbed them from the lurking bushes, flew into the air with broken branches and fallen leaves, and tore these rebel sentinels into pieces in the air and threw them at the Shuangfeng Stone Village to intimidate the rebels.

Most of these birds of prey are spirit birds raised by inner disciples, and the strongest ones even have the combat power of the late stage of the Spirit Clearing Realm; the rebel sentry who sneaked from the bushes to reconnoiter all looked fierce and strong, but under the sharp claws of these birds of prey, they had no power to fight back.

The scene looked bloody, but for the Dao soldiers who entered the battlefield, there was a feeling of blood being ignited.

The stone path in the middle was too narrow, which was not conducive to the deployment of troops, Chen Hai and the three hundred soldiers of the Left Guard, holding iron shields and halberds, stepped on the steep and slippery stone slope, and approached the Shuangfeng Stone Village - in addition to holding shields in the front row, blocking the falling rocks and broken logs that rolled down, and arranging manpower in the back row to dig stone steps.

It may not be possible to conquer the Shuangfeng Stone Village in one fell swoop, at this time, it will be easier to dig new steps along the stone slope, and then launch a new offensive.

Three hundred Dao soldiers, all of them are strong and heavy.

Even Chen Hai, with the tail end of the halberd, knocked on the rock under his feet, he could knock out a stone nest that could be stepped on, but the morale of the rebels was very strong, and soon the falling rocks and trees rumbled down along the stone slope more and more densely, and the sound was extremely terrifying.

The wall of the Shuangfeng Stone Village is also full of rebel generals who are bare-chested and breast-baring, and the crowds are crowded, pushing down the fallen rocks and timbers that have been prepared long ago.

Chen Hai didn't need to be in front with Ge Tong and Shen Kun, but the stone slope was steep and slippery, and falling rocks, the ring bounced and rolled on the stone slope, or was directly smashed down by the strong men in the rebel army, which did not mean that people would be safe in the formation.

Seeing a stone weighing hundreds of pounds, smashing directly over his head, Chen Hai raised the cold iron shield above his head, and his shoulders were also pushed up, colliding with the stones, he felt that his body shook suddenly, his arms were numb, and he was barely knocked over by the momentum carried by the stones, but his chest was uncomfortable with a retrograde flow of qi and blood.

Before Chen Hai could breathe his breath, another boulder the size of a grinding disc smashed directly on top of his head.

"!" Chen Hai wondered if these falling rocks were all with eyes, and they all smashed directly at his head one after another.

This huge boulder the size of a grinding disc weighed thousands of catties, and it was thrown directly from a height of four or five hundred meters, Chen Hai secretly felt that even if the Qingyun Spirit Armor he was wearing could still function intact, he would be paralyzed there by this boulder today.

He didn't expect that among the chaotic people, there would be such a strong man who could directly smash a boulder weighing thousands of pounds.

Chen Hai didn't care about the people behind him, his feet froze slightly, his slightly condensed eyes were fixed on the boulder in front of him, and he wanted to dodge and avoid it, but he didn't want to be at this time a cyan sword light flashed behind him, and suddenly a sword qi two or three zhang long burst out in front of his eyes, as if a lightning bolt slashed on the boulder.

The boulder exploded in all directions.

Chen Hai's bloated face, hit by the flying stone chips, cut open several bloody cuts, and turned his head to see Chen Qing leisurely at this time to take back the Nianyue Spirit Sword that smashed the boulder, and her beautiful eyes were full of disdain, and she secretly felt that she should be staring at him silently, probably looking at the movements he wanted to dodge exactly in her eyes, so she was full of disdain.

Chen Hai muttered unhappily in his heart, your mother, Lao Tzu has not stepped into the Tongxuan Realm to cultivate the true yuan, and simply uses the power of the flesh to connect this falling stone, and the only end is to be smashed into meat sauce.

Most of the Dao soldiers of the Left Guard Army have the cultivation of the Xuan Realm, holding an iron shield, destroying the essence of the True Yuan, which can barely withstand the impact of hundreds of catties of falling rocks, but the consumption is extremely high, and it is not a long-lasting solution after all.

Li Xianghai and Chen Qing, Xie Wenzhuo, Lu Hongqian, Yu Siyu and others, even if they smashed those boulders, but it was difficult to take care of them, and soon there were casualties.

Li Xianghai's cultivation is the highest, but to control the overall situation, Chen Qing, Xie Wenzhuo, and Lu Hongqian are all sword cultivators, and they use the top-grade spirit sword given by the sect as a magic weapon to practice, and their strength is extraordinary, but they have not yet stepped into the realm of mind perception and sensing heaven and earth, and they can only kill the enemy with the sword within the scope of their vision.

Chen Hai and the others shrank behind the cliff, and waited for the follow-up soldiers and horses to rush up, but Chen Qing, Xie Wenzhuo, and Lu Hongqian were unwilling to do nothing, and the three spirit swords on their backs buzzed and trembled and rushed out of the scabbard, and in the blink of an eye, the spirit swelled, turned into three shocking rainbows, and slashed angrily towards the bandit village six or seven hundred meters away.

There are six figures in the Shuangfeng Stone Village, although they are not the sword cultivators, nor do they have any magic weapons to sacrifice to the emperor, but their bodies are jumping on the wall, agile as swimming dragons, I saw them either holding swords and shields, or holding halberds, or holding giant swords, with a terrifying speed that is so fast that they leave an afterimage, they probe the distance and entangle the spirit sword of Chen Qing and the three of them.

Moreover, the blades they hold are extremely heavy, and they are not afraid of the sharpness of the spirit sword.

Seeing this scene, Chen Hai was also secretly frightened, he didn't expect that there were still many people in Yanzhou who could cultivate to such an extent without cultivating True Yuan mana and simply refining martial arts!

The speed of the spirit sword that Chen Qing and the others controlled was also extremely fast, and in the flash of light, stone and fire, they saw the three spirit swords and the six figures slamming on the wall of the wall, sparks splashing everywhere, and the three spirit swords were stunned and failed to tear through the defensive circle of the six people......

"These people should all be rangers from civilian backgrounds, the people of Hexi counties are fierce, and there are many martial artists, but few people can get the opportunity to enter the sect to cultivate, it is estimated that there are many such characters among the chaotic people......" Shen Kun saw Chen Hai squeezing over, and lowered his voice to explain to him that those few people who could entangle the spirit sword could be martial rangers.

Chen Hai thought to himself that the children of the disciples of the Daoist Academy, in the end, only a very few of them could follow the footsteps of their fathers and enter the Daoist Academy to practice, and those disciples and children who could not enter the Daoist Academy, after their fathers died, they cut off the last trace of contact with the sect, and those who tempered their superb martial arts among them, if they were not willing to be mediocre, they would become rangers in the countryside, right?

Chen Hai also secretly regretted these people, if it weren't for the existence of the sect's Xuanxiu, these rangers would be able to shine, but in Yanzhou, they could only become the foil of the sect's Xuanxiu.

Chen Qing's cultivation was still a little worse, Li Xianghai looked at Chen Qing's spirit sword, but he was entangled by six ranger-like figures, frowned slightly, and took out a small apricot yellow flag from his arms.

This small flag was only three inches in size at the beginning, and Chen Hai couldn't really see it, but Li Xianghai then threw the small flag into the air, and the small flag grew to the size of three feet when it saw the wind, and it shook when there was no wind.

The flag is woven with a kind of thing that looks like gold and non-gold, like silk and non-silk, exuding a golden glow, and the convex one-horned snake python embroidered on the banner is lifelike, and it is seen that Li Xianghai's hands are made of a secret seal, and there is a mysterious and mysterious breath in the body that emanates out, and it suddenly makes the wind and clouds change color within a radius of thousands of meters.

This is the disappearance of heaven and earth formed by the induction of mind and heaven and earth vitality, and in the blink of an eye, I saw that there were arcs of electricity released in the air, and they quickly gathered on the spirit flag......

"This is Elder Li's Imperial Thunder Spirit Banner!" Shen Kun couldn't help but get excited when he saw Li Xianghai make a move in person.

Chen Hai had seen a big scene in the Blood Cloud Wasteland, but he also felt that Li Xianghai's Thunder Spirit Banner was not trivial, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that the Thunder Spirit Banner had gathered enough arc thunder light, and the next moment it turned into a dazzling thunder pillar and slashed towards the wall above.
