Chapter 70: Earn the gates
The conversation between the commander of the city and those soldiers was heard clearly by Zhao Chun, who was hiding in the dark, and while feeling happy, he also had some doubts in his heart - judging from the military strength displayed by the Black Ice Tribe, it was undoubtedly very powerful, but this was only relative to the cold weapon. If compared to the world where Zhao Chun is, it is far behind. Because the world in which Zhao Chun lives not only has thermal weapons, but also has high technology, if they are only at this level, how can they defeat the people of the outside world, so as to let the people divide the land against them? Is it just that icy storm?
Zhao Chun believed that things would not be so simple, if the Black Ice Tribe was really so easy to defeat, there would not be an entire holy domain talking about the Black Ice Tribe and the color would change. The Black Ice Tribe has invaded so many tribes, and even plundered their clansmen to be slaves, and as the most powerful tribal alliance in the Holy Domain, it doesn't even dare to let go of one more fart, which is very revealing.
"Zhao Chun, I think there's something wrong with the town. Laura whispered next to Zhao Chun.
Zhao Chundao: "I also feel a little wrong, the army of the Black Ice Tribe seems to be too slow to react, it has been ten hours since the strike in the morning, this town is so close to the Batu Caves, I don't know any news at all." Could it be that their communication is usually transmitted by manpower, and could this town be a trap they have set up?"
"Otherwise, Zhao Chun, let me take two hundred elite battalions and an ordinary brigade to rush into the town, and you bring someone to meet outside, how about it? Even if there is a trap, it will not be completely annihilated. Laura suggested, and as she spoke, she was about to rush out with the others.
"Wait. Zhao Chun held down her impulsively.
Xiaolu and Shirley also asked to lead people to attack at the same time, saying, "Brother Zhao, you saved my life, if it weren't for you, I might have died in that Batu Cave." Let me take someone with me, I promise to complete the task. ”
Zhao Chun thought for a moment and said: "Okay, Xiaolu, you take two hundred elite battalions and a brigade of people, remember to act at the opportune moment, mainly to eliminate the defenders of the town, and not to attack the residents and workers of the town." If it is a trap, retreat to the city gate as soon as possible, and do not fall in love with the battle. ”
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Xiaolu agreed, and led people to sneak quietly to the city gate.
Five hundred meters beyond the city wall was an unobstructed open area, and the glowing stones on the city wall were shining like thousands of watts of searchlights, it was impossible to approach the city wall silently, and now the city gate was slowly opened, ready to let the eleven soldiers in.
According to the plan, the eleven soldiers would fight there for three minutes, and if the two hundred elite battalion soldiers led by Xiaolu could reach the city gate within three minutes, it would be possible to control the city gate.
When Xiaolu led two hundred elite battalion soldiers to appear in the range of the sunstone, the people on the city wall reacted instantly.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A piercing alarm suddenly sounded on the city tower, and then there were white lights shooting out of the city, which was the soldiers on the city tower who activated the long swords, spears and other weapons in their hands, they had a heavy weapon to defend the city - spiritual cannon, but they didn't have time to activate it in a hurry.
Xiaolu did not order the soldiers to fight back, but led them to fly towards the city gate as if they were dead, because they were already low-ranking monks and could glide a few feet above the ground for a short distance. But this kind of "flying" is only more than twice as fast as ordinary people sprinting, and it is not flying in the real sense, let alone flying up the city wall more than ten meters high.
After hearing the alarm, the soldiers of the Black Ice Tribe guarding the city gate quickly reacted, slaughtering the eleven soldiers while closing the city gate.
And the eleven soldiers didn't even resist, shouting long live the Black Ice Tribe while retreating, which caused the city gate to close at a much faster speed, and in less than thirty seconds, it was almost closed.
Seeing that it was impossible for the people of Xiaolu to reach the city gate before the city gate was closed, at this moment, only a loud dragon roar was heard, and a blazing fire dragon instantly passed over everyone at an incredible speed and rushed to the city gate.
Only a loud "boom" was heard, and the fire dragon crashed into the city gate that had not yet been completely closed.
But surprisingly, the gate did not collapse or break a large hole, and it is not known what material it was made of, but it stood intact, but it was blackened. But the soldiers who closed the gates were not so lucky, and they were either swept away by the waves or stunned, and the gates were not closed for a while.
Xiaolu and the others were shocked, knowing that it was Zhao Chun who made a move, and immediately rushed to the city gate at a more desperate speed. At this time, Laura also organized a group of elite battalions to shoot at the soldiers on the city wall to cover Xiaolu's movements.
With the efforts of everyone, Xiaolu finally led people to the gate of the city, and at this time, the commander of the city also arrived with a large number of soldiers, and the two sides immediately started a big battle in the city gate.
As the successive thousand-strong brigades arrived one after another, the soldiers defending the city were defeated and retreated one after another, and soon abandoned the city gate and retreated to the town. Xiaolu sent some people to guard the city gate, and then led the rest of the people to pursue inside.
Laura breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect to break through the city gate so easily, I don't think they are fake, why don't we bring all the people in?"
"Wait. Zhao Chun said, "Let all the people hide, no one is allowed to act without my order." In addition, let the people of the reconnaissance battalion strengthen the reconnaissance of the surroundings and report any situation immediately. ”
"This ...... Are we being too careful? The soldiers are eager to go into the city for a hot meal. Laura said with some dissatisfaction.
"Now that the situation between friend and foe is unknown, it is always better to be cautious. Zhao Chun said, "It's been nearly half a month since you came here, are you sure how much do you know about the Black Ice Tribe? Together with the tribes of the Holy Domain, the rest of the tribes also know very little about the Black Ice Tribe, only that they are very mysterious and powerful, and from time to time some incomprehensible black technology will emerge, and their tribe obviously has the hope of winning, but in the end it was defeated by something that suddenly appeared, and it failed miserably." We can't afford not to be cautious. ”
Laura was silent, and everyone could only hide and wait for news from the town and the reconnaissance squadron.
Time passed minute by minute, and the shouts of killing in the town shook the sky, and even fires rose into the sky.
When half an hour had passed, and there was still no news coming, some people couldn't sit still, saying that the brothers in the town were fighting blood, while they were watching from the outside.
"Report, there are a large number of enemy troops in the town, the number is unknown. When our army pursued to an alley, it was ambushed, killing and wounding more than 200 people, and now the deputy commander-in-chief of Xiaolu is leading people to retreat while fighting. While the people were anxiously waiting, the herald from the town came to report the battle.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and Commander Zhao really expected things to be like a god, and there was indeed an ambush in the town.
Zhao Chun frowned and called Xue He over and asked, "Have you found any traces of enemy troops outside the town?"
"Nope. "We have five teams going out to reconnoiter from different directions, and now we are more than a hundred kilometers away from the town, and if they find a situation, they will send a signal." ”
"Well, even if the soldiers of the Black Ice Tribe ride the fastest horse beast in your Sanctuary, it will take an hour to get here, which is enough time for us to control the town. Zhao Chundao, "Send the order to go down, attack the center of the town with all your might, and answer Xiaolu and them." ”
Laura said with some puzzlement: "Are you sure that there are not a large number of soldiers of the Black Ice Tribe in ambush in the town? They occupy the advantage of geography and weapons, if the number reaches a certain size, we may not be able to defeat them, and even if we do, we will pay a heavy price." ”
"If they were really numerous, they wouldn't have been ambushes and bluffs, they would have armed some of the workers or the townspeople to scare us away. Zhao Chun said as he led everyone to the town.
And on the way, he asked Laura to lead 500 men to occupy the two gates of the town, and no one was allowed to enter or leave except for his own reconnaissance team.
When Zhao Chun led people into the street hundreds of meters away from the city gate, he happened to meet Xiaolu who led everyone to retreat, and the soldiers who originally followed Xiaolu to attack the town now have more than nine hundred left, and there are more than 100 people with wounds.
"Brother Zhao, we have been tricked, there is an ambush in the town. Xiaolu gasped, he was covered with color, fortunately it was not serious, "When I led people to chase the alley in front, a pit suddenly appeared on the ground, dozens of brothers fell into the pit, and spears and blades were buried in the pit, and when we were in a panic, thousands of soldiers from the Black Ice Tribe rushed out, and I saw that the situation was not right, so I ordered the brothers to retreat." ”
"You did, but you were deterred by them. Zhao Chun said, "Find a few residents or workers in the town and ask them to take us to the smelting factory in the town." We were still divided into two routes, one was led by Xiaolu and found another way from the east to attack the smelter, and the other was led by me to attack the smelter from the north. When encountering residents and workers, pay attention to publicize our policies, we are miners who have been forced to mine by the Black Ice Tribe, and we are forced to resist because we can't survive anymore, if they are willing to join us, they will be free, and if they help the abuse, there will be no mercy. ”
"Yes!" Xiaolu replied, he felt a little ashamed, if it wasn't for Zhao Chun to bring someone to come in time, he almost missed the big thing.
"Chong, for the sake of freedom, even if you die, don't be a slave of the Black Ice Tribe!" Thousands of miners, led by Zhao Chun, frantically rushed from the alley to the smelter in the north.
