Chapter 34: Sun Moon Gorge (3)
"Although the terrain here is dangerous, we can't resist for long if the enemy attacks continuously. Shangguan Qingyun led the rest of the generals to the boulder.
"The terrain here is narrow, the enemy can't attack in formation, and we can't arrange many people to defend, at most one battalion. The number of people is not dominant. Shangguan Qinghe also said.
The world doesn't pay much attention to the defense of the pass. The main defense is on the city with the depiction of the talisman. Barren mountains and mountains are the world of Warcraft. The garrison here is often harassed by demonic beasts, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"The Sun Moon Gorge is an important passage, with frequent personnel coming and going, and the surrounding demonic beasts are no longer a climate under the continuous cleanup. There is little threat to us. ”
"This place is less than 30 zhang wide and 100 zhang long, and the strange peaks on both sides are steep and cannot be crossed. I plan to build three strong walls here, each wall is 30 zhang apart, the bottom is 3 zhang wide, the top is 1 zhang wide, the first one is five zhang high, the second one is seven chapters high, and the last one is ten zhang high. ”
"In this case, if the enemy attacks the first lane, the next two lanes can also be supported. Is it possible to complete it in three days. Mu Tianxiang ignored the other people's questions, looked at Shangguan Haoyun and said.
"Time is tight, but there are a lot of monks added this time, so it should be no problem to hurry. Shangguan Haoyun said.
In this world, because of the existence of monks, many huge projects do not take long. The delay was the carving of a complete defensive talisman on the city walls, which could not have been completed in a year.
"Qinghe, you are also a ground-level monk, how long will it take you for such a stone wall to allow you to attack with all your strength. Mu Tianxiang asked.
"If there is no interference, an hour is enough, and then with the use of the attack talisman will not be used for half an hour. Shangguan Qinghe pondered for a moment and said.
"Don't think about the talismans, I don't think they will have the luxury of using a lot of talismans here. Mu Tianxiang said.
The power of this thing is like the heavy cannon of the previous life, but the rune master is very rare, and the materials are also very precious, and the monster skin that depicts the rune must be above level seven, which is equivalent to a monk above the middle level of the human earth, and the success rate is not very high, so each one is very expensive.
It is estimated that the enemy has it in his hands, and there will not be too many. The forbidden spell that destroys the world takes a certain amount of time to prepare, as long as you are careful, it is easy to find, and the price paid for arranging the forbidden spell is greater, Mu Tianxiang does not think about these.
"Then we can't defend well, our ground-level monks are only three or five, the enemy has more than a dozen ground-level monks, five or six people are dragging us, and the rest of the people will not be too slow to destroy these stone walls with the cooperation of the soldiers. Shangguan Qingyun thought for a while and said. "The attack of an ordinary soldier is not a great threat to the ground-level masters. ”
"So, I also prepared something, I don't know what the effect is, but I think it has a certain effect, if it doesn't work, I can take people to resist, I don't believe that their ground-level masters are endless, at most less than a hundred," Mu Tianxiang also said fiercely.
The so-called secret weapon is the bed crossbow in his previous life, which Mu Tianxiang has never seen in this world. As a weapon manufacturer, Mu Tianxiang has dabbled in all kinds of weapons, and he still knows the principle of the bed crossbow.
Mu Tianxiang asked people to assemble a few bed crossbows, looking at the arrows that were thick and thin, one zhang long, and emitting cold light, which made people involuntarily frightened.
"How powerful are you," Shangguan Qingyun asked.
"It can fire three arrows at a time, with an effective range of eight hundred zhang, but I don't know if there is a threat to the ground-level monks, and how big the threat is. Mu Tianxiang said.
"Then find someone to try it, won't you know," Shangguan Haoyun said.
After saying this, the surroundings fell silent, Shangguan Haoyun saw Shangguan Qingyun looking down to study the stones on the ground, Shangguan Qinghe looked up at the sky, and was understanding life, Shangguan Jin looked at himself with a smile, Shangguan Haoyun felt a little bad: "What do you mean by looking at me?"
Shangguan Jin said with a smile: "We have a total of five prefecture-level monks this time, and Senior Commander Zhao and Senior Commander Han are all preparing for the construction of the city wall. Do you think it's appropriate for the general and the commander to go to the test?"
"It's not suitable," Shangguan Haoyun said.
"So what," Shangguan Jin smiled slyly.
"So, only I am the most suitable," Shangguan Haoyun, who realized it later, looked around and said sadly.
"Then you don't want to go quickly," Shangguan Jin shouted.
At this time, Shangguan Qingyun didn't study stones anymore, and Shangguan Qinghe didn't understand life anymore, and several people surrounded Mu Tianxiang and happily asked how to use the bed crossbow, and everyone was eager to try.
Accidentally making friends, Shangguan Haoyun looked up to the sky and sighed, walked forward slowly, and became the first person to eat crabs.
The results of the test are not very ideal, 800 zhang has basically no effect on the ground-level monks, 500 zhang, and there is no big problem to pay attention to. It is no problem for a three-hundred-zhang prefecture-level monk to defend with all his might, and only one hundred zhang can kill and injure a ground-level monk.
"The effective killing distance is within 100 zhang," Mu Tianxiang said, looking at Shangguan Haoyun, who was ragged and embarrassed.
"Within five hundred zhang, it can kill a large number of monks below the ground level, which is much more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows. Shangguan Qinghe said.
"However, the main problem we are facing this time is the ...... of the prefecture-level monks."
"The bed crossbow is not accurate with a bow and arrow, and the launch is slow, and it can only be fired once in a hundred zhang......"
......
Although everyone agrees with the power of the bed crossbow, but the accuracy cannot be controlled, and the shortcomings of slow firing are also obvious, Shangguan Qingyun said: "The power should be improved, the existing beast tendons are all low-level demonic beasts, and I still have some medium-level demonic beast tendons, let's get together and see how the power is." ”
The bed crossbow disguised as a mid-level demonic beast tendon has increased the damage to the ground-level monk to two hundred zhang, so that it can be fired two or three times. There are only twenty tendons for many mid-level demonic beasts, and they can't be assembled in large quantities.
"I have an idea," Ma Tiejun said, "We can put these twenty fine bed crossbows on the second city wall, we don't use them in normal times, ordinary bed crossbows are still a great threat to a single prefecture-level monk, and we have a lot of them, we can concentrate on shooting, so we can greatly improve the accuracy." ”
"In order to avoid this kind of loss, the enemy can only concentrate the ground-level monks to defend together, we will put him in a hundred zhang, concentrate the excellent bed crossbow on the second city wall, and give him a ruthless ......" Ma Tiejun said with both hands around his neck. Don't say it, you can't do anything else, and the methods of the Yin people will be one by one.
"You're insidious......"
"Don't say you know me in the future, you're too treacherous......"
"I like ......"
After solving the problem of the prefecture-level monks, everyone was very happy and had confidence in this defense.
According to Mu Tianxiang's plan, the entire Sun Moon Gorge became a huge construction site, and under the leadership of the monks, various fortifications were quickly done.
In the past few days, there have been transport convoys passing by from time to time, all of which were annihilated by Mu Tianxiang's commanders, and the seized materials were very rich, and a large number of frogfish glue were found in a batch of materials, which were supposed to be transported to Fengyun City to strengthen the city wall. Mu Tianxiang was also unceremonious, and poured all of them on the city wall, making the city wall even stronger.
In less than three days, the three city walls have stood in the Sun Moon Gorge, and with the hidden fortresses built on the cliffs on both sides, a multi-faceted and three-dimensional defense system has been formed.
"Brigadier Zhang Yunlu, you lead your brigade to set up a defense on Rizhao Peak behind us, and guard against Fengyun City and Lijiazhuang sneaking up behind us," Mu Tianxiang said.
"Under the attack of the city lord, I think they won't send too many troops, Rizhao Peak is steep and precipitous, which is conducive to defense, if the enemy comes, don't take the initiative to attack, just do a good job of defense," Mu Tianxiang handed over this relatively simple task to this brigade that was equipped with a certain number of female soldiers and female monks because the brigade commander was a woman.
"Okay, no problem. Zhang Yunlu straightened her petite body and replied loudly.
Ten days later, due to various accidents and unknown reasons, Mu Tianxiang regretted the decision he made.
The abnormal condition of the Sun Moon Gorge finally attracted the attention of the Bloodthirsty Gate.
On the fifth day of the Sun Moon Gorge, the mist shrouded the entire canyon, and the scouts from afar kept feeding back the news, and a team of about 50,000 people drove into the canyon.
All the preparations that should be made have been made, and whether you can hold it or not depends on today.
Standing on the boulder-piled city wall, Mu Tianxiang thought in his heart. By his side, Shangguan Qingyun, Shangguan Qinghe, Shangguan Haoyun, Shangguan Jin, and several other division commanders and a group of gentlemen led by Ma Tiejun were there.
The soldiers between the walls were busy, making final preparations, and all the trees and boulders that could be sheltered within a thousand feet of the valley outside the walls were cleared. An unobstructed open space was set aside. I don't know how many corpses will be taken out to fill it in the end.
In the distance, at the bend of the canyon, a horse spun out, and then ten, hundred, and countless horses galloped out, and soon filled the narrow valley.
Mu Tianxiang watched for a while, and chatted with Shangguan Qingyun,
"I hope that the city lord can take Fengyun City and Lijiazhuang within a month......"
"That's not what we have to think about, the cauldron is broken, and the mourning soldiers will win. City Lord, they know this, and we can only trust that they can take the ...... as soon as possible."
"No matter how good the plan is, no matter how well prepared it is, it is difficult to say whether it can withstand it in the end......
"Aren't you very confident......"
"There is too little time, less than half a year, and it is still a bit extravagant to train a hundred elite soldiers......
"It's already good to be able to prepare for a battle in the place we have chosen, but we can't bear it, only death, this is a place of death, and only the winner can survive......"
But victory or defeat, many people will die, and this place will be filled with corpses. It doesn't matter if it's your enemy's or your own, or both.
