Chapter 347: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

Qin Meng patted his buzzing ears and looked back at the magic cannon that was full of electric light. Thankfully, the orcs didn't get the control of the fortress before they attacked the fortress, otherwise the outcome of that battle would have been unpredictable. Even if this fortress can be captured in the end, I am afraid that the price paid will definitely be much heavier!

On the other side, the orc army was also stunned by the sudden power of the magic cannon!!

Immediately, the orc army was defeated for three miles before it barely regained its strength, and before the battle officially began, the orc army was frightened by the magic cannon. This was something that the generals on both sides did not expect at all.

"Are you sure it's a magic cannon? And not an electric cannon? The Blue God King looked at the army of orcs that were retreating like a receding tide, and said in shock!

Qin Meng looked back at the messy artillery bombardment point and affirmed: "I can't imagine that these natives can use such backward means to create powerful energy weapons, it is indeed worthy of praise." However, compared to the real fortress-level electric light cannon of our human race, it is far worse, if it is replaced by our human fortress-level electric light cannon just now, it is estimated that this cannon can directly end this war in the past! Go back, these orcs must be scared, I'm afraid it will take half a day to slow down and attack again. ”

Qin Meng turned around and walked back to the command room hall, the Jialan God King leaned on the head of the city and glanced at the enemy formation, and found that the truth was indeed as Qin Meng said, although the orc army retreated three miles in one breath to stabilize the formation, but obviously the morale plummeted, and wanting to organize a new round of attack immediately was tantamount to coming over to send him to death.

The Blue God King returned to the hall with Qin Meng, and found that the faces of the bright stars and Lin Lin were very solemn, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Why do you both look sad? The orcs were temporarily beaten back, aren't you two happy? ”

Bright Star smiled bitterly: "Of course we are happy that the orcs have been defeated, but when you see this, I am afraid that you will not be able to laugh like the two of us." ”

Bright Star sighed and pulled up a video for the two of them to see. I saw that in the picture, Gul'dan led a thousand demon-blooded orcs from Grizzly Valley, and did not rush to join the orc army. Instead, he traveled all the way south overnight and crossed Lingyun Peak. Fly across the Heavenly Trench Gorge, take the Blood Fang Demon Cave, use absolute force to conquer the three thousand Blood Fang Boar Man Demon Monsters entrenched there as a servant army, and then continue to rush south into the dead wood woodland and completely lose a trace. Amadeus and Lilith, who were following the scouts along the way, and Blackie tried to enter the Dead Wood Glade, but were chased out by the twisted Tree Spirits that grew there.

Bright Star enlarged the topographic map and pointed to a black area a hundred miles east of the fortress, and said astringently: "That is the Dead Wood Woodland, we all thought it was a dead land. A forbidden place for the living, a natural barrier. But now it seems that we were all wrong. Gul'dan must have planned to lead these 4,000 troops through there and then detour back to the south of the fortress to cut off our supply lines, or go directly to the Valley of Moonsleep, and of course, the most likely is to flank us with the orc army from the north! ”

After listening to the analysis of the bright stars, the Blue God King really couldn't laugh, and even Lin Lin, who didn't know anything about military affairs, understood that a catastrophe was coming.

Qin Meng frowned and said, "Instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to take the initiative!" ”

The crowd looked back at him and waited for the next step!

Half an hour later, the Burning Legion Corps suddenly assembled urgently, and under the leadership of Qin Meng, five hundred elite veterans who were heavily armed rushed out of the south gate of the fortress on armed locomotives and disappeared from everyone's sight.

At the same time, the Supreme Council also urgently ordered the transfer of a large number of personnel to erect a dense network of fire on the southern wall of the fortress.

"Boss of the God King, there will definitely be no time to build the fort in this moment!" The glutinous rice dumplings, who were in charge of the firepower arrangement at the head of the city to the south, sent a message complaining.

The Blue God King gritted his teeth and said, "Then you take someone to move all the ballista trebuchets in the warehouse to the city." What's the use, it's just that. ”

When the glutinous rice dumplings received the reply, they were completely speechless. The heart said that this style of painting is obviously wrong! On the north wall, there are still cannon missiles. How can it be replaced by your own side, it has become these backward things!

***

The Deadwood Woodland is located more than a hundred miles east of the Mora Pass Fortress, between two cliffs and gorges, and the entire woodland runs north-south, less than ten miles wide at its widest point, but more than sixty miles long. As long as the southern end of the canyon is a hilly area with a smooth road, it doesn't even take half a day's work for the light cavalry to drive straight to the city of Nordasen, or outflank the west and circle the back of the Mora Pass fortress to form a front and rear attack!

Qin Meng and the others naturally understood the danger here, but they did not send troops to garrison here. Because this woodland canyon is perennially full of miasma, insects and beasts are extinct. According to legend, in ancient times, the Titans and the evil gods fought a vicious battle here, and finally the Titans hit the evil god with a sword with the power of thunder, and also split the peak of the mountain to leave this valley, and at the same time, the demon blood splashed by the injured evil god was also sprinkled all over the valley floor, making the plants and trees growing here were eroded by the demon blood and became crazy and evil. Over time, this woodland has become a Jedi. So no one could have expected that Gul'dan would lead his troops through here.

At this moment, Qin Meng led five hundred elite veterans to rush here to set up an ambush first. Since the southern end of the valley is a hilly area, there is basically no danger to defend. After Qin Meng arrived with his troops, he immediately ordered a large number of mines to be planted at the mouth of the valley, and at the same time, an arc-shaped trench was dug on a small dirt slope as a fortification at the position of the best firing distance 300 meters away from the mouth of the valley. As long as a dense cross-fire point is set up, no matter how many men and horses led by Guldan, it is impossible to imagine that one of them will be able to take half a step out of the valley alive!

Qin Meng also imagined setting up an ambush on the cliffs on both sides of the valley exit, but the soldiers sent to reconnoiter returned to report that there was a large amount of miasma diffused at the mouth of the valley, which not only affected the line of sight, but also that these miasma contained unknown toxins, and the tactical helmets that the soldiers were wearing now could not filter out these toxins at all, and once people stayed in these miasma for a long time, they would appear in negative states such as suffocation, dizziness, and dizziness, and they would not be able to fight at all. Qin Meng could only give up this idea and instead chose to have a head-to-head confrontation with that orc in the open space!

But the five hundred veterans waited outside the valley for a long time and did not see a single demon blood orc appear, and at this time, Qin Meng received a message from the Jialan God King that the orc army had launched a new round of attack, but this time it was no longer the ground troops, but all the air troops, the two-legged Wyvern army and the demon army bombarded the fortress in turn under intensive artillery fire, resulting in heavy casualties among the players in the fortress, and the Jialan God King had to order the magic wall to be opened to resist the blow from the air.

At the same time, the orc army also dispatched a large number of ground troops to cover the advance of the twenty tiger squat cannons to the effective firing range, and carried out rounds of artillery bombardment on the head of the fortress. Although the fortress artillery at the head of the city immediately bombarded the opponent's artillery position into the sky with color, the head of the city was still bombarded for a while, causing a nearby battery to be scrapped directly.

In short, the situation is not optimistic, when the Jialan God King sent the news, it was the time when the battle situation was the most stalemate, and a different number of demons had already killed the city and started a fierce white-knuckle battle with the players!

Qin Meng understood that it was useless for him to be in a hurry at this time, and he could only rely on the players who stayed behind in the fortress to resist the attack of the orc army. And they must stay here to stop Gul'dan from leading those demon-blooded orcs out of here, or everything will be over!

"Haven't the miniature scouts found suspicious targets yet?" Qin Meng asked again.

The Shadow Blade shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The miniature scout has penetrated nearly five kilometers into the valley, which is the limit of the scout's warning range, but not even a ghost has been found. It's getting dark, boss, and we've been here for a long time but we haven't even seen a ghost. ”

Qin Meng frowned and said, "Guldan led his troops into the Dead Wood Woodland because Lilith and they saw it with their own eyes, and there are images as evidence, so it is impossible to fake. Moreover, on the east and west sides of this dead wood woodland are thousands of cliffs that are difficult for birds to cross, and there are only two exits in the north and south. Unless all the orcs could fly, or everyone was a master of burrowing and digging a tunnel out of the ground, the only way out for Gul'dan to sneak up on the fortress from behind was to do so. ”

The Shadow Blade frowned and muttered, "Speaking of burrowing, it seems that those Bloodtooth Boar People are all natural masters of burrowing, right?" ”

Both of them were stunned, and then they shivered together! Qin Meng suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Oh no! It's a good idea! Leave a ten-man squad to continue to guard here, and the others will follow me back to the fortress as quickly as possible! ”

While leading his troops back, Qin Meng also sent a warning to the Jialan God King who was guarding the fortress, telling them to be careful of Guldan sneaking up on the fortress from behind.

But there are some things that don't want it to come, it has to come something! Qin Meng had only walked halfway to the road when he received an urgent request for help from the Jialan God King! Gul'dan really led a mighty army of 4,000 to appear under the southern city, which was equivalent to cutting off the fortress's communication with Nordasen and Moonsleep Valley, and blocking the only supply line for tens of thousands of defenders in the fortress!

For a time, the tens of thousands of players guarding the fortress were in turmoil, resulting in frequent dangers on the northern defense line.

Qin Meng knew that he only had 500 soldiers at hand, and if he took advantage of the narrow location of the valley mouth of the Dead Wood Woodland, it was possible to block Guldan's 4,000 troops in the valley. But if you stay in the plain area without shelter, your own 500 men and horses go to attack the 4,000 army, it is purely to find death! So he immediately changed his route and headed south straight to Moonsleep Valley. Because it has now become the new base of Fengqi Tower, not only has countless weapons and ammunition been hoarded, but there are also countless casual players who love competitive gladiatorial battles gathered there!

Qin Meng believes that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the most important thing Fengqilou lacks is money! (To be continued......)
