Chapter 368: Capture the King
'Demon Beasts' do not have the ability to fly, nor can they have flying pets like the player's summoner, and even, except for some high-level 'Demon Beasts', like these ordinary soldier-level 'Demon Beasts', can only be close physical attacks.
And Murong Xiaotian didn't see any siege equipment in the barracks.
For such a 'demon beast' force, facing such a city wall is undoubtedly an insurmountable gap.
It seems that there is no other way than to break the gates, or break the defenses of the walls.
"Order the 'Independent Regiment', send a platoon up and smash the gate of the cottage!" Murong Xiaotian immediately gave an order.
Hitting the city gate is always more convenient and faster than hitting the city wall, not to mention, Murong Xiaotian is not clear at all, whether the city wall of this 'demon world' is the same as the outside, and the hardness of the city wall is also calculated according to the degree of defense.
If not, then attacking the city wall will be useless, and it will only be a wasted effort.
A platoon of troops immediately rushed up, however, before they ran under the city gate, hundreds of 'demon beasts' appeared on the city wall, and stones the size of the millstone fell like raindrops.
Not to mention attacking the city gate, as long as you get close to the city gate, you will be smashed and your flesh will fly.
"TMD drop," Murong Xiaotian scolded secretly, and immediately shouted: "Stop the attack and take the people down for me." ”
Murong Xiaotian really couldn't imagine that those so-called bandits on the city wall were actually very agile and quick, and they were not flustered at all; It's like a bandit, it's more like a well-trained soldier.
It is definitely not a way to break through so hard, and the losses must be very heavy.
It's a pity that I can't reveal my identity, otherwise, as long as I release the 'Colorful Phoenix', it will be enough to solve all problems."
"Division commander, otherwise, I will organize a death squad and storm their city gates; I don't believe it, I can't smash their city gates," Seeing Murong Xiaotian frowning, he opened his mouth to 'diarrhea'.
"I believe it, of course I believe it, but how many soldiers' lives are you going to trade for this city gate? 500? 1000? Or 2000? Murong Xiaotian asked coldly.
"Huh!" 'Diarrhea' was speechless.
"There is war and sacrifice, that's right, but it's definitely not for your soldiers to die in vain," Murong Xiaotian roared in annoyance: "You listen to Lao Tzu, a person who doesn't know how to cherish the lives of soldiers, he is definitely not worthy of being a qualified commander; I, Murong Tian, will never exchange the lives of these soldiers for this broken city gate! Your grandmother's, you have to use your brains more to fight, surrender without a fight, and win the greatest benefits with the smallest sacrifice, which is the best policy; It's good to be brave and not afraid of death, but it's stupid not to cherish life! Also, you remembered to me that without these soldiers working for you, you would not be a fart as a commander; They are not only your subordinates, but also your brothers and sisters, and since they have given their lives to you, then you have to be responsible for their lives. ”
Murong Xiaotian's words shocked the hearts of all those who heard this, especially those soldiers, there had never been a single commander who would take their lives seriously.
Not to mention, as the division commander said, treat soldiers as if they were their own brothers and sisters.
What is the greatest honor for a soldier? That is to gain the trust and respect of the superiors.
At this moment, their hearts are already surging, even if they are asked to die immediately, they are willing and have no regrets; The gaze they looked at Murong Xiaotian was completely different, it was an unprecedented kind of loyalty and reverence.
Li Wanxin's heart was also not calm, and she seemed to be more and more incomprehensible to the person in front of her, and at the beginning, she felt that he was like a blank piece of paper; But the more you get in touch, the more unfathomable it feels.
At the same time, what Murong Xiaotian said also made her suddenly understand a lot, and she also understood a lot, and it also made her start self-reflection.
Although 'diarrhea' didn't say anything, he nodded very seriously, it seems that what Murong Xiaotian said also touched him very much.
It was only at this time that Murong Xiaocai let out a long breath and shouted loudly: "Send the order to go down, set up camp, rest on the spot, send a platoon, and set up a defensive line twenty meters away from the walled city to prevent bandits from sneaking up; Every hour, change shifts. ”
After giving the order, Murong Xiaotian found a place, lay down on the ground, and fell asleep.
Time, bit by bit, the night fell quietly, but Murong Xiaotian was still lying there, and there was no movement, Li Wanxin couldn't help it, walked over and pushed Murong Xiaotian and said, "Wake up, wake up, it's dark!" ”
"It's dark, it's still early before dawn anyway," Murong Xiaotian woke up, but he still looked very lazy.
"You!" Li Wan's heart was a little angry, and she pouted and said, "You won't come here just to sleep, right?" What exactly are you going to do? Don't tell me you're running out of donkey skills. ”
"Well, then I'll tell you, I want to wait until late at night, and go into the valley alone, as the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, as long as I go in and catch the bandit leader; This mangrove valley is also self-defeating! It won't hurt us a single soldier," Murong Xiaotian smiled and whispered in a low voice.
"No, you are the deputy commander of the 'Sky Wolf Legion', how can you risk your life," Li Wanxin immediately objected.
"What's wrong with the deputy commander? First of all, not still a soldier? Besides, this is the most direct way to deal with bandits, and it is also the best way to avoid casualties in our army," Murong Xiaotian waved his hand indifferently.
"Even if what you say makes sense, but the only entrance to the valley is sealed, how can you get in?"
"This, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way to get in," Murong Xiaotian smiled confidently.
"That's not good, it's too dangerous, if something happens to you, how can I explain it to the lord!" Li Wan's heart still shook her head into a drum.
"Then you can rest assured, my strength, you haven't been taught, even if you can't succeed, it's absolutely no problem for me to retreat; Besides, since you said that I am the deputy commander of the 'Heavenly Wolf Legion', then I must obey my orders, so it was decided," Murong Xiaotian replied resolutely, and his tone could not be refuted.
"Then, you'll have to take me in!" Li Wanxin had no choice but to make concessions.
"Hehe, I also want to, with a beautiful woman like you by my side, I will feel better, but it's a pity!" Murong Xiaotian made a helpless expression and said bitterly: "If you want to enter this valley, with my special ability, you can still try it alone, but if you bring one more person, it is impossible to succeed at all." ”
Without waiting for Li Wanxin to speak, Murong Xiaotian continued: "Besides, this first division can't be a group of dragons without a leader, right?" If we both leave, who will take command? ”
Li Wanxin stopped talking, no matter whether the other party was looking for an excuse or not, you really had nothing to refute, besides, thinking of the other party's terrifying skills; Within one move, he and the three masters whose strength has reached the level of 'demon king', two of them are injured, and two of them are 'bound' and they can't move at all, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have an accident.
"Don't worry! Even if it's for you, I'll come out alive! ”
Seeing that Li Wanxin looked in a dilemma, Murong Xiaotian took the opportunity to rub oil, grabbed Li Wanxin's little hand, and pinched it gently.
"Then, you must be careful!"
Li Wanxin's face was slightly red, but in her heart, there was an inexplicable trace of sweetness.
Fortunately, now that it has darkened, it won't feel so embarrassing.
After the second watch, Murong Xiaotian began to act, and the other party has been on guard against them attacking the gate since the day; At this point, even if it is a piece of iron, it will definitely be tired; This time should be the time when the other party is most unprepared.
If you want to enter the valley, it is not difficult at all, whether it is the 'Wing Flying Technique' or the 'Goshawk Wings', it is a breeze, but you can't blatantly use these skills in front of the people of the 'Demon Realm', right?
Therefore, the appropriate strategy still needs to be talked about.
After a few more words of explanation to Li Wanxin, Murong Xiaotian retreated into the woods alone.
Of course, there can only be ambiguous prevarication about how to get into the valley.
Retreating to a place where no one was around, Murong Xiaotian immediately turned on the 'Wings of the Firmament' and turned into an eagle, spreading his wings and flying high.
From a height of forty or fifty meters from the entrance of the valley, he glided silently into the valley.
The night, which was as dark as splashing ink, was nearly thirty meters above the height of the Taniguchi city wall, and it was almost impossible for the bandits below to see him.
Even if he sees it, it doesn't matter, the other party will probably only treat him as a 'spirit beast'.
Slowly circling in the valley, turning on the 'night vision eye', the scene in the valley clearly jumped into Murong Xiaotian's sight.
No wonder it's called 'Mangrove Valley', and indeed, there is only one plant in the entire valley, which is a trunk and leaves, all of which are red trees.
On the inner side of the valley, the trees had been cut down and turned into neat barracks.
This made Murong Xiaotian feel even more that these bandits were not simple, at least, this bandit leader was very familiar with some things in the 'Demon Realm' army.
On the top of the wall, there were about a hundred people, and under the inner side of the wall, at least seven hundred people gathered.
Obviously, the strategy they adopted was the same as that of Murong Xiaotian, which was to change guards in turn, patrolling the city walls to prevent a sneak attack by the 'First Division'.
But in this way, the barracks on the inner side of the valley seemed unusually quiet.
But Murong Xiaotian was not in a hurry to go down, but continued to fly and observe, because those barracks were obviously barracks where ordinary soldiers lived.
And the target that Murong Xiaotian is looking for is not these ordinary members, but the bandit leader!
