The efficiency of these quarrymen is still very fast, and before dark, they have already dug to a depth of about ten meters, and the width is about thirty meters, which is enough for a large group of people to rush up.
However, after digging for so long, there was no movement in the cave, and the duke and others also muttered in their hearts.
Kedo frowned and said, "Lord Duke, looking at the appearance of these people, it seems that they have no fear, this cave should not be very deep!" ”
The expression on the Duke's face was not very good, and he said coldly: "Even if it's deep, dig it for me!" At the same time, send me people to attack non-stop, and I don't believe these guys are fighting hard. ”
"Yes!" Kodo immediately responded, and then had people light torches and continue to attack the forces of Baiyun City in the cave.
……
The battle continued, and countless Carolingian armies suffered unprecedented blows in the cave.
The White Cloud City army inside did not force every inch of land, but only deployed in every narrow area, which made the Carolingian army suffer enough, especially these corrosive clouds that shot from time to time from behind those Iron Eagle Sharps who held on, so that these soldiers were often in fear. If it was killed by the Iron Eagle Sharp Warrior's halberd, it would be better. And if you are hit by the cloud of corrosion, you have to endure a thousand kinds of torture, starting from the skin to slowly decay, and finally corroding to the internal organs, before you can lose your breath, and the pain is indescribable.
After seven or eight days, the morale of the Carolingian army plummeted, and the Duke's temper became much more irritable. It's not that they didn't get the results, these days they have also advanced the line to the cave for nearly two hundred meters, but this cave seems to have no bottom, and the people inside still have no signs of desperately breaking through, but continue to retreat with the progress of those quarrymen's excavation.
It seems that Kodo's worries have come true, and the cave is really deep. And it's surprisingly deep! They were even worried about whether there would be a second exit to the cave. However, millions of people have searched through the surrounding hills, and although many caves have been found, they are all dead holes, or they have nothing to do with this cave.
Including the duke, all the leaders of the French district were helpless, and if they wanted to kill Sunshine in front of them, there was no other way to think of but to rush to the death. See who can afford whom!
Originally, the Duke and others were very confident that Sunshine and the others would be intercepted and killed here. But with only three days left in the system's one-month limit, their confidence is not so sufficient, after all, at the current pace, the time it will take to reach the bottom of the cave is still unknown. As for wanting to drain the other party's body, it seems to be a joke now.
At least so far. The other party did not show the slightest burnout. However, after such a long time, they did not receive any results, but instead killed more than 100,000 people, so that war-weariness began to spread among the people. The player power is a little better. After all, they knew that if they let the sun escape, it would inevitably contribute to the improvement of the strength of the entire Chinese region, and at the same time, the French region would lose an opportunity to surpass other countries. But those ordinary NPC soldiers are different. They don't have the same broad horizons as the players, and they don't think as far-reaching.
The Duke and the others also thought about relying on elite strength to rush in directly, but they all failed without exception, the other party's high-end strength was not weaker than their own side, even if they later transferred a few emperor-level powerhouses from other places. But it was only a draw. After all, in a cave that is only a few people wide, there are only a few people who can fight at the same time, and even if more people are transferred, it will not help.
However, the sudden attack of these masters also achieved some results, and in these days, they killed at least dozens of strong soldiers of the other side. But the rewards obtained are nothing short of trivial for these emperor-level masters.
In the ensuing battle, the heavens did not sympathize with the situation of these French players, the time was still passing minute by minute, and the battle was still going on tepidly, they could not see hope, they could not see the result. Even the sudden attacks launched by those masters have become weaker and weaker, and even a few times even the other party was killed, and they were intercepted by the two masters of the other side, and after a fight, they had no choice but to retreat.
On the penultimate day, they continued to advance more than twenty meters, after all, the belly of the mountain was full of complete stones, and it was not so easy to dig a passage out. On this day, they once again paid for the lives of nearly 20,000 soldiers in exchange for the deaths of two elite soldiers on the other side.
On the penultimate day, the troops of the French Quarter clearly felt that Sunshine and his men were retreating more slowly, almost for an inch! After a day of fierce fighting, more than 30,000 people from the French army were killed, while more than 20 people on the Baiyun City side were beaten or killed by the masters of the French area! On this day, the morale of the French District troops was greatly boosted, and they seemed to see victory beckoning to them......
On the last day, the Duke ordered the quarrymen to dig inward and quickly expand the front. By noon, several masters had faintly heard a strange sound from the clash of swords, and the Duke immediately ordered the army to stop attacking, knowing that as long as his side stopped, it would be absolutely impossible for the other party to rush out and fight with them.
When the cave was quiet, they finally heard what the sound was, and the Duke was visibly surprised, and said, "There's the sound of running water down here!" This is halfway up the mountain, and the water here is bound to flow outside. Immediately look for a place where there is a water source within a radius of 100 miles, and be sure to find the outlet of this dark river! Others, go on the offensive! ”
……
At this time, Yang Tian and the others were standing on the edge of the dark river, and after nearly ten days of fighting, they were all tired, this was not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue. After all, they have been fighting desperately for so many days in this dark place, if they weren't all elites in a hundred battles, they would probably have been suffocated.
They were also very clear about the brief pause of the French army just now, although Yang Tian and the others did not guess what the other party's intentions were, but they could not hide it from the resourceful Chen Gong.
After listening to Chen Gong's story, Yang Tian said with some concern: "With the other party's manpower, under the purposeful search, it is estimated that the outlet of the dark river will not be hidden for long. ”
Chen Gong said: "The lord doesn't need to worry too much, the outlet of the dark river is in the middle of the waterfall, and there is still a distance of one or two hundred meters from the waterhole below, and it is not so easy for the other party to find it, and even if he finds the exit, it is also very difficult to climb in against the current." Now that it is only about ten hours before the restriction of the main god, there should be no change. ”
Yang Tian still frowned and said: "But I'm always a little uneasy, the other party is desperately trying to force us into a desperate situation these days, there must be some kind of purpose." After all, now they know very well that I have spatial teleportation skills, and if they don't have the corresponding means to deal with it, they won't come to attack so confidently. ”
Chen Gong smiled faintly and said, "The lord is too worried!" This situation has also been considered by subordinates. There are only two ways for the opponent to deal with the teleportation skill of the lord, one is to limit the use of this skill, and the other is to calculate the maximum teleportation distance of the lord, and then deploy heavy troops within this range. As far as his subordinates know from Master Karl, the only thing that can limit the use of spatial skills in the Carolingian Dynasty is a treasure of the royal family called the Forbidden Sky Ball, which is still a celestial artifact, but the range it can limit is only one kilometer. Even if others obtained similar treasures, the effect should not be able to surpass this forbidden orb. As for placing heavy troops within the maximum teleportation distance of the lord, it will not be effective. As long as the Lord God's restrictions on us are lifted, with your stealth ability, even if there are thousands of troops outside, we will not be able to do anything! ”
After Yang Tian heard this, he was also relieved! Since Chen Gong has thought it through so thoroughly, what else do you need to worry about?
This class of strategists is different, and they really think about the problem more comprehensively than themselves. Especially because of the special abilities given by the system, the strategist can guess the general strategy of the other party, and then he can also formulate the corresponding countermeasures, which undoubtedly makes Yang Tian feel a lot more at ease.
……
For a whole afternoon, the battle in the cave never stopped, and in order to prevent the other party from breaking through to this dark river too early, Yang Tian and the others could only fight in the narrow cave of about forty meters left! If the other party breaks through, with the wide distance of this place, it is entirely possible that the other party will make dumplings, and otherwise, they can only evacuate from the lower reaches of the dark river. This will undoubtedly put them in a passive situation.
However, Yang Tian and the others were still very confident that they would not let the other party break in within ten hours, after all, in the past few days, there had not been a day for these people to rush into a distance of more than thirty meters, not to mention that it was only a few hours now.
When it got dark, Huang Zhong suddenly ran up to them quickly and said, "Lord, those quarrymen on the other side have suddenly accelerated their progress, it seems that some high-level quarrymen have joined in, and it is only about twenty meters to get through the narrow area of Guò. If we go back further, I'm afraid it won't take more than two hours for them to get to guò. Our subordinates have built yì to defend the current line of defense, so that those quarrymen will not have a chance to dig again. ”
Yang Tian looked at Chen Gong and wanted to hear his opinion.
Chen Gong thought for a moment and said: "If we defend it, we will suffer a lot of losses, and if we encounter large-scale battles in our next mission, it will be very troublesome, so this matter can only be troublesome Brother Han Sheng, you will move forward on the front line, and focus on taking care of the other party's high-level quarrymen." I believe that the number of quarrymen of this high professional level on the other side will not be too much, otherwise they will not wait until now to send them. As long as we kill this group, they will have to die down! ”
After Yang Tian heard this, he nodded and said to Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, just do it!" Let Guan Hai and Zhou Cang cover you! Stay safe! ”
Huang Zhong immediately left. (To be continued)
