Chapter 424: Raid
When thousands of masters gathered together in four circular formations of about two or three hundred people, they formed an incomparable assault and destructive ability, especially in the daytime when the line of sight was still good. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there are some prepared strange birds and insects that follow these people, and it seems that they can effectively detect the ambushes hidden in many seemingly safe places, and in this case, the one-sided killing begins. In the face of the heavy armor on these top masters, which is better than two points thick, the nine-stone strong crossbows shot by most of the ambushers cannot cause any damage at all, and on the contrary, only some invisible and colorless means and even bits and pieces such as needles and arrows can easily kill the hidden people on a large scale.
Because the manpower is not too sufficient, at least more than 100,000 civilians and more than 200,000 seemingly armed men were killed after being discovered, and probably less than half of them were captured. From the mouths of these prisoners who were not very important, some information was quickly established: although many of the discovered Tibetan tunnels were cleared after entering the city, the number of people eliminated accounted for only one-third or fifth of the approximate size of the real armed forces in Binh Duong New Town, and it was obvious that there were very few five hundred lords or camp owners other than centurions, so that there was no doubt that the location of the other party was in some kind of tunnel in the middle of the tower, which seemed to be not too high, which had not been searched so farγ
In the middle of Binh Duong New Town, a huge building with a height of about 50 zhang and a radius of about 20 zhang was built in a few years or so, and just from the controlled perimeter, the thickness of the outside of this mysterious castle is about 1 zhang of solid rock, which is difficult to unravel from the outside by some simple traditional means, or even if it is intended, it will take a lot of time. The height of about 50 zhang is a place that ordinary officers and soldiers can attack at a great cost. Now there is only this one in the entire Binh Duong New Town, and it seems that there are some guarded mechanisms to defend it.
However, this is not too big a moat for a martial artist with a certain ability. Before the sky darkened, the special stepping arrow bed crossbow was projected from four directions at a distance of no more than a hundred feet, and soon nailed a number of relay points large enough to reach the top. For ordinary soldiers, it is still difficult to climb and stand up with such a stepping arrow at an interval of about a zhang, but for first-class or second-rate masters, of course, it is a completely different matter.
The experience accumulated by characters who can become masters of a certain level in the world of rivers and lakes is not too bad, and it is also very dangerous for masters to know what kind of work is done in such a special place. Therefore, the drudgery of the expedition was handed over to four second-rate masters with relatively low marginal status, and three third-rate disciples were led each, a total of sixteen people to carry out a path-finding operation.
Correspondingly, in order to prevent these people from coping with errands, these people were promised many benefits and made public to the army in an open and righteous manner, and swore in the name of God. In such a situation, I won the trust of these dozen or so people who felt some bad luck.
Because he knew that this kind of work was more dangerous, when he reached the top, the real second-rate masters were only responsible for using some unique giant axes to open the way, and it was the selected subordinates who explored the way.
Contrary to what many people think, the entire top and even the interior of the castle did not find many frightening traps in the process of searching, but there is no doubt that this situation is more difficult to press. If it weren't for some strange dogs and even special Gu worms that they had previously obtained from the Barbarian Department to be in charge of guarding and pathfinding, I am afraid that a little simple means would have been effective in this relatively narrow environment.
The advance and exploration of the way by a dozen people from all directions did not last long, and soon after breaking through some places, they came to a brightly lit top hall.
For these people who used to plot against others by various means, it is this kind of place that seems to be brightly lit and does not have much sense of danger in the environment that arouses the natural vigilance. Under the call of a special signal, many Gu worms who were responsible for vigilance and pathfinding, and the strange dog also broke in at this moment to be responsible for detecting and proving safety, and the heavy duty of coming in also formed a simple shield array to prepare for danger, and linked the special chain around the waist. This is, of course, to prevent the possibility of getting out of danger in the event that one person responds more appropriately in the event of some special traps.
At this moment, the specialized Gu worms and even the strange dogs that were following the pathfinder seemed to be a little drowsy and fell to the ground, but they didn't all fall into a coma for a while. As specialized animals, these species of Gu worms are extremely sensitive to anything harmful to the human body. None of this seems to be exactly like suspended animation, indicating that the danger encountered is just a minor nuisance. It's just that at this moment, not many people dare to underestimate the threats they may encounter, and everyone has started to avoid them in this situation, and plan to leave here temporarily and go back to borrow some Gu worms for pathfinding.
One of the important tasks of these dozen or so people is also very simple, that is, to be the pioneers of the "drug war". Break through some places in the castle so that the gas can reach all places at the same time, so that the obstacles can be cleared as much as possible.
But at this moment, a wonderful feeling came, like a faint music, but the unique feeling accompanied by the music made many people relax a little relaxed.
"At this point, I don't have the ability to threaten you. What can you do if it is temporarily solved? The entire Binh Duong New Town has now fallen, and that will only lead to a faster demise of oneself... A female voice lamented with some resentment. The voice didn't come from the outside, but it seemed to sound from the hearts of the people. When everyone is most suspicious, they are guided by special feelings and ideas to dissolve all kinds of doubts and distrusts...
The dozen or so people in charge of pathfinding didn't take long to return, much shorter than expected: "We have encountered danger in one of the locations below, and many Gu worms and even strange dogs used for pathfinding have also had problems, and we need some new supplements... β
Such a request did not seem excessive, so it was quickly agreed to by the forces responsible for staying at the top, and a dozen people were allowed to continue on their downward track. However, according to the previous agreement, in order to spread the risk to the greatest extent, it is not to let a group of people always be responsible for the end from the beginning to the end, but to change a group of people every fifteen zhang or so down, and mainly some third-rate masters who have been transferred to explore the way deeper.
The final result seems to be very simple: there is indeed a mysterious tunnel in the castle in the center of the city that leads to the underground, and the size of this tunnel is not small, but it is completely closed when it leads to the surface of the ground only about ten feet away, and it seems that it is not easy to open the metal door that is at least about three feet long.
At this time, many of the troops who had been injured by mistake at the beginning also fully recovered, and began to mobilize enough men to establish a special ring of quarantine on the periphery of the central castle, and constantly dig trenches downward. Outside the city, larger men began to build encirclements and dig trenches farther away. Obviously, in the past, when dealing with some authentic methods and the like, these are the methods that are often used. In the case of cheap manpower available, these masters who have a certain status over the years are not willing to do it too much themselves, even if they only have a third-rate level.
At the beginning, many of the lower generals and even many third-rate masters who had not seen much of the world were a little worried, after all, this battle to break the city did not seem to eliminate the real opponent. However, some clever staff members and even a small number of elites with real status quickly reacted: Now the army is mobilizing, and the purpose is of course not to arrest some important leaders, but to deal with the collective of Binh Duong New Town. A few or dozens of people, hundreds or tens of thousands of people may be able to escape through secret passages and hide among the vast number of people, but how can a million people be hidden? Abandoning many "tortoise shells" on the surface of the ground here obviously means that the current operation has ended in victory to some extent.
"You don't have to worry, all the people under the rule of an emperor have a lot of space at the grassroots level. But we have thousands of people, and all the counties will be our fiefdoms in the future, and even if those people escape under the rule of the people, how can they hide under our rule? "At the internal celebration of the coalition forces after the destruction of the city, someone finally said what he thought.
After breaking through this layer, many people also began to understand, and they were not worried about the opponent who had not yet been eliminated: "Yes, the combat effectiveness of those people of theirs is actually completely relying on some mechanisms and other means, which can bring a great advantage to those ordinary soldiers in defense." If it weren't for the bonuses of those mechanisms in a specific place, even if we didn't do it ourselves, we could have eliminated those people with just the millions of troops outside the city... At the banquet, a sect leader who was in charge of training the mortal army also said the same. In this way, the regret and unhappiness that have weighed on the hearts of many people will also be dissipated.
However, at this moment, for some reason, someone suddenly danced happily, just a few people, and it did not attract attention, but made people feel that some people who were more familiar with it before were a little unorthodox. In terms of the identity of these people who really have a certain status, the habits of these unpopular gangs are really a bit of an eyesore. It's just that for some reason, this kind of inappropriate behavior is strangely ignored by many people. A free and unrestrained atmosphere and even perception invisibly spread to everyone, and more and more people began to dance at this time. Especially a lot of second- and third-rate people.
At this time, a small number of more sober and experienced masters began to notice that something was wrong: "What's the matter? It seems that something is wrong! Run!"
Of course, the upper echelons of the coalition forces, who have seen a lot of the world, know that some things are carried out to prevent them, so even if it is a more solemn celebration, not everyone or most of them will gather together. There are still a lot of people who are on duty in shifts or resting in other places, and this is the first time that some people take turns to feast. Because in the history of the rivers and lakes, there are many kinds of accidents, and even the lessons brought by the wine banquet and the wine banquet. But even so, about a third of the crowd seems to have fallen into madness in this plot.
When many people gathered to prepare to prevent something from happening, they didn't expect that the people who seemed to have fallen into a collective madness before seemed to have launched a rebellion and a rebellion in a crazy and organized manner, each of them assembled into a team of about ten people to carry out operations, and seemed to be very flexible and knew how to cooperate with the other masters who rushed to the news to launch a surprise attack. Soon many people were killed and wounded, and to some extent, these people were like opening the sky, as if there were magical and invisible generals and banners commanding in it, and each surprise attack could effectively concentrate superior forces to besiege and strike.
Therefore, although the total strength of these people was weak, they brought more than 20% of the losses of the entire coalition master group, and they were annihilated one by one in the encirclement and suppression launched by the first-class masters who reacted. However, this chaos also caused the entire master camp to lose about forty percent of its strength.
Because of the panic caused by this unknown threat, even the most confident people did not dare to stay in the city, but at this time, what worried many sober-minded people still happened. The chaos did not only happen among the masters, but also many of the ordinary military camps of the occupation troops stationed at the head of the city and even in the city were also plunged into chaos at this moment, killing people everywhere. Then the shouts of killing seemed to gradually unify, and the army inside the city seemed to be organized and began to surprise the leaders stationed outside the city.
In order to avoid the collapse of this last bit of available manpower, there are still many master groups who have launched firefighting everywhere after withdrawing from Binh Duong New Town, and gradually calmed down this sudden chaos. However, in this way, many parts of Binh Duong New Town have been regained, and it seems to have become a more frightening place than before.
"Evacuate! It's no longer time for us to seek this place, let's disperse and go home to avoid the limelight!"
It seems that many of the withdrawn master groups seem to have begun to understand at this time that they should not worry too much about the army composed of ordinary people who seem to be outside the city for the time being.
