Chapter 421: Rainy Season
The finished glyph of the three building boats is suspended at a low altitude of 100 feet above the ground, and floats forward at an extremely slow speed.
In the mountains and forests below, a large group of black phoenix soldiers held heavy shields and waited for them on the periphery, and groups of heroes of the Dazezhou army were terrified, carrying heavy tools, and cutting down ancient trees of the thickness of several people.
The giant tree fell to the ground with a loud noise, and the people recruited from Daze City surrounded it, and cut off the branches of the giant tree that had been cut down by two, scraped off the bark, and shouted the trumpet to transport it to the rear for processing and later use.
Then a monk who was proficient in earth and stone spells rushed up, quickly cast a spell to level the ground, scooped up the huge roots of the underground giant trees to the ground, and used spells to level the ground and turn it into solid rock, and then carved the foundation of various defensive arrays on the rock foundation, and arranged various array weapons.
Smoke and flames were in the mountains and forests behind, and huge furnaces with a height of hundreds of feet stood in the mountains and forests, emitting terrifying high temperatures throughout their bodies.
Pieces of carefully selected boulders, together with a large number of metal ores, are thrown into the furnace, and quickly turn into a viscous slurry under the smelting of mana flames, and after a long time of mana stirring, the red slurry is injected into a huge mold, and when it solidifies, it becomes a piece of modular construction materials of different shapes.
A large number of formation runes have been pre-carved in the mold, and as long as these pieces of construction materials are pieced together according to the drawings, the formation patterns and runes on them can naturally form a complete large array prohibition.
These modular construction materials, which are as small as a few zhang in diameter, are transported to the mountains and forests, and are quickly piled up on the rock foundation of the carved formation, and the huge modular materials are glued together with metal juice.
In just three or five days, a strong battle fort with a radius of dozens of acres can take shape in the mountains and forests.
These forts are extremely defensive, and a large number of small-caliber pure anode light cannons are erected on the forts, a large number of chain heavy crossbows are erected, as well as heavy bed crossbows with extremely long range and high lethality.
Each battle fort can easily monitor the wind and grass within a radius of dozens of miles, and each battle fort can gradually encroach on the mountains and forests and compress the living space of the wood spirit clan.
From time to time in the mountains and forests, extremely vigorous petite figures can be seen rushing by, these figures are like ghosts passing between the big trees, and the figures occasionally merge into the trunks, and then suddenly burst out from the shrubs in the distance.
Occasionally, an arrow followed the wind in the woods, silently shooting at the soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army.
The soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army had a wealth of combat experience, and they quickly raised their heavy shields in their hands and easily and skillfully blocked the arrows.
With Wu Tie providing logistics and baggage, and a large number of ordnance that Wu Tie and Pei Feng have gradually extorted from the Cardinal Hall fleet these days, the soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army have already exchanged shotguns for guns, and their bodies are much better equipped.
The sneak attack of ordinary wood spirits in twos and threes could no longer pose a threat to the Black Phoenix soldiers.
However, after the previous covering blow like a collapse of the earth, the high-level of the Wood Spirit Clan no longer dared to gather a large number of clansmen to launch a cluster attack. They can only rely on racial talent, and fight guerrillas in groups of three or five in the mountains and forests.
And guerrilla warfare simply could not pose much threat to the steady and steady regular army of the Great Jin.
More than a month has passed, and hundreds of battle forts are scattered in the mountains and forests, and each battle fort echoes each other from afar, forming wings for each other, like a big net, completely dividing this piece of mountain.
The Wood Elves had never encountered such an enemy, and they were often careless, and one of their clansmen was cut and separated by the suddenly built battle fortress, and before their besieged clansmen could break out of the encirclement, Wu Tie led the army to close the siege, and easily crushed their resistance.
The Wood Elves are good at bows and arrows, which is where they are strongest and where they are weakest.
As long as they ran out of spare arrows in battle, the combat power of the wood elves would be rapidly weakened, and in the face of the heavily armed soldiers, most of them were captured after being exhausted of mana, and became captives of Wu Tie.
For more than a month, Wu Tie's corporal actually captured more than 30,000 wood spirit captives, and such a result made Pei Feng stunned and speechless for a long time.
Once upon a time, the wood spirits fought the Black Phoenix Army quite embarrassed.
But with enough baggage, enough soldiers, enough food and grass, and excellent and steady tactics, it has such a good effect on the wood spirits.
"Poor!" Pei Feng, who was annoyed in his heart, found Wu Tie with two jars of spirits, and complained angrily: "Your tactics are not much better than Sima Yu's. Advancing step by step with the battle fort in this way is completely bullying those unlucky wood spirits with equipment. ”
"I'm not going to joke with the lives of my sons. Wu Tie took a big sip of wine, and said to Pei Feng with a smile: "You see, the sons and daughters had a good time, the fight went well, and those wood spirit captives have some good things...... Or it's an old elixir, or it's a precious gem, a jade, ......"
"In a fight, the brothers can make a little fortune somehow...... And it's delicious and delicious, and the scenery in the mountains and forests is also good, so it's a good day to practice on an outing?" Wu Tie smiled brightly: "In particular, all military expenses are from the Cardinal's Palace...... The Cardinal's Palace spends money to help us train our troops and make meritorious contributions, where can you find such a beautiful thing?"
Pei Feng was stunned and laughed.
Although my heart is a little unbalanced, this kind of beautiful life right now is really comfortable!
The soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army have all grown much stronger, and with enough cultivation resources, their average cultivation has improved by one level. The constant attacks and constant resistance of the wood spirits also gave the soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army enough opportunities to hone their training.
The damage was not large, but the combat power, fighting spirit, and combat awareness improved quickly.
Even those recruits who had just joined the Black Phoenix Army were about to catch up with those veterans in their manners.
The Black Phoenix Army is being reborn in Nirvana, and all expenses, as Wu Tie said, are paid for by the wealthy Cardinal Palace...... This kind of good day, put it more than half a year ago, Pei Feng couldn't think of it.
"It's just that the efficiency is a little worse, and the speed is a little slower. Pei Feng pointed to the endless mountain range in front of the flagship, and muttered: "This secret path, at this speed, how much time will it take us to get through?"
"Don't rush, don't rush, be patient...... This secret path is very important, and if it is opened, it will be of great benefit to us. It's worth the extra time. Wu Tie said indifferently: "This is a great opportunity for you and me to strengthen our strength...... The more we open up the secret path, the greater the number of soldiers and civilians needed, and the greater the logistical pressure on Dazezhou, which also needs more manpower......"
"We can continue to expand our army, and we can continue to ask the Cardinal Hall for manpower replenishment. ”
"Using the power of the Cardinal's Hall to help us expand our strength is a good thing, a great thing. Wu Tie looked at the reckless mountains and forests in front of him and chuckled: "It's not good, when this secret path is completely opened, the army under your command and I will be comparable to half of the divine army...... When the time comes, you and I will join forces, hehe!"
Pei Feng was stunned and smiled.
She lifted the wine jar, touched the wine jar with Wu Tie, and then drank it all, and two clusters of blush suddenly appeared on her white face.
Hundreds of miles away, in an extremely narrow and deep valley, hundreds of wood spirits were fleeing in confusion. Although there were countless trees and vines around, a huge force in the void cut off all the wood elemental energy, and they couldn't escape with the help of wood at all.
More than a dozen miniature flying boats, only a dozen feet long, spread their sides like winged sails, like dexterous insects flying in the valley.
Wearing a set of six-refining immortal soldier armor and holding a six-refining immortal soldier heavy crossbow, Sima Yu, with a red face, stood on the bow of a flying boat, squinting at the wooden spirit fleeing in embarrassment several miles ahead.
"Hehe, or do you guys play...... Fight those brainless four-legged beasts, where is it fun to hunt these wood spirits? Haha, haha, hahaha, I, Sima Yu, am also a sharpshooter!"
Sima Yu laughed a few times, the heavy crossbow was activated, and the metal crossbow bolts with twelve thumbs and a foot and a half long flew through the air.
The hundreds of wooden spirits in front of them swayed dexterously from side to side, narrowly avoiding the shooting of the crossbows, and several crossbows almost flew by their bodies, and the strong wind brought by the crossbows opened deep wounds on their bodies.
The bolts sank into the cliffs in the distance, and large swaths of the cliffs collapsed, and the rocks flew sideways, causing the wood spirits to scream in a pleasant voice, like a flock of birds singing.
Sima Yu saw that his round of crossbow arrows missed, and his face, which had become red from drunkenness, twisted violently.
These wood spirits had been broken by the powerful guards around him, and he could only rely on his physical skills to jump and escape from valley to valley, and in this case, he shot with a heavy crossbow at the level of a six-refining immortal soldier, but he actually failed to hit a target.
Gritting his teeth and cursing in a low voice, Sima Yu opened his hand and was about to use a spell to kill these fleeing wood spirits, when suddenly there was a low bang, and a miniature flying boat chased after him, Sima Yan, Sima Hu and others stood at the bow of the boat, their faces were ugly.
"Brother Yu, Sima Wolf has sent three secret letters in a row...... He asked us when we would be able to take out Huo Xiong...... He said that if we didn't do it, he would come over in person. ”
Sima Zhen, Sima Hu and others looked helpless.
Sima Wolf had also told them before that he would personally kill Wu Tie. For this reason, he also demanded high remuneration from Sima Tan, Sima Hu and others.
As a result, Sima Wolf hadn't made a move yet, and Zhao Xiu had already made a series of subordinates in the Cardinal Palace. With the Cardinal Hall coming forward, Sima Wolf couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, and Sima Zhen, Sima Hu and others didn't give him a copper, so Sima Wolf temporarily pressed the killing intent.
After all, Sima Wolf is also the clan of the Sima clan, and it is the most core royal family, and the prince who is most likely to inherit the throne of King Xun.
Therefore, Sima Wolf quickly knew the cardinal's plan, and while he was angry, he also expected Sima Zhen, Sima Hu and others to bring him good news, after all, everyone had a grudge against Wu Tie.
But after waiting for several months, Sima Yu and his group did not send any news back.
'Huo Xiong' is also alive and well, and every day he is energetic and leads the army to catch wood essence in the mountains and forests, and a large area of wood essence is grasped.
Looking at such a development momentum, don't say kill 'Huo Xiong', maybe he will become a combat hero of the Great Jin Military Department!
Is it tolerable or unbearable? Sima Wolf couldn't bear it, so he continued to issue official documents in the past few days, forcing Sima Yu and others to take action.
Sima Yu withdrew his hand stupidly, stomped his foot hard, and the flying boat suddenly hovered in mid-air.
The flying boat of Sima Zhen and the others caught up, and they easily jumped onto Sima Yu's flying boat and handed the three blood-colored jade talismans to Sima Yun. Sima Hu said in a deep voice: "Brother Yu, what should I do? Sima Wolf's kid is my cousin, I know his temper, if he is mad...... He has a wolf in his name, but his temperament is no different from that of a mad dog!"
Sima Yu sneered, pointed at Sima Hu, and said lazily: "What are you doing with him?
Raising his head, Sima Yu pointed in the direction of the guide, and said coldly: "Remember what is our biggest mission this time? Killing Huo Xiong is just incidental...... It is important that we open up this secret path. ”
"Do you know how to fight, or is Huo Xiong capable? With him helping us in the front, how many things have our brothers saved, and how many risks have we avoided?"
"Kill Huo Xiong, did you personally go into battle, or did I personally lead the troops to drill the forest?"
"Come on, send a letter back to Sima Wolf, and say that we are working hard to plan to kill Huo Xiong...... However, Huo Xiong also has millions of elite soldiers around him, and it will be difficult for us to start for a while. Perfunctory past pull down...... How good it would be for Huo Xiong to continue to help us with our lives?"
With a strange laugh, Sima Yu said leisurely: "When we really open up this secret path, we will kill Huo Xiong when the time comes...... Tsk, the newly formed new army to conquer Dawu, we can at least get a commander of the first army...... When the time comes, my brother, I am afraid that I will be five or six points sure, as long as I kill my eldest brother...... Hey. ”
patted Sima Zhen and Sima Hu on the shoulders vigorously, and Sima Yu smiled: "Everyone is their own brother, can I treat you badly?"
Sima Zhen and Sima Hu looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
A hundred miles away from them, at the end of this valley, hundreds of fleeing wood spirits quickly jumped onto the top of a mountain peak, and respectfully knelt in front of an old man with extremely long hair and almost dragging him to the ground.
"Great Elder...... We failed to attract the enemy chieftains...... That's too cunning. ”
Mu Jing's words are crisp and pleasant, and the wording and sentences are actually five or six points similar to the language used by Wu Tie and others, which is obviously from the same vein.
The old man nodded lightly: "Don't be fooled, it's okay, we have retreated for so many days, and the rainy season in the jungle is coming." They will know right away how terrifying the jungle is during the rainy season. ”
"When they come, don't go back. They will be the best sacrifice we can offer to the gods of the mountains and rivers. ”
The old man smiled, every hair on his body emitted a faint green light, and his breath faintly blended with the surrounding mountains and forests, as if the entire mountain forest was gently swaying with his breathing.
Such momentum can be called terrifying.
The wood spirits of the brigade quietly showed their form from the mountains and forests, and after bowing deeply to the old man, they quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests, scattered and disappeared in twos and threes.
Sima Yu didn't know that he had inadvertently escaped, and he giggled all the way, and returned to the military camp in the rear with Sima Zhen and others.
Their flying boat had just entered the camp when a few thumb-sized droplets of water suddenly fell from high in the air.
Then the crystal clear water droplets were connected into an endless line of water, like a huge whip whipping down from the sky.
The entire mountain forest was shrouded in water mist in an instant, and the rainy season of this wild mountain forest finally arrived.
