Chapter 253: Leia besieges the Misty Mountains
A majestic mountain is presented in front of you. As far as the eye can see, you can't see the edge.
In the distance, a peak goes straight into the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, and that is the highest peak of the Misty Mountain Range, Pingtian Peak.
Leia had already sent people to inquire about the situation here, and many monster leaders, although they were distributed all over the Misty Mountain Range, would go up to Naping Tian Peak from time to time, and every time they were in groups, as if they were organized.
The top of the Pingtian Peak is called the Pingtianzen. Leia sent someone to investigate, and the flat zenith was the base camp of the remnants of the Burning Legion.
As long as you take it, it is a victory.
However, that place is easy to defend and difficult to attack with natural dangers, and if Leia wants to capture it, it is not enough to have dragoons alone, the ground troops are the main force, so it is necessary to capture the flat zenith from the bottom up.
Leia had been camping outside for two days, and at this time, she was in the tent, discussing with the generals the plan to capture the zenith.
At this time, a female guard suddenly sent a message: "Lord Princess, the two flag generals and marshals of the Golden Banner and the Wooden Banner of the Five Elements Banner have arrived here!" ”
When the generals in the tent heard this, they were immediately shocked, and they could not imagine that the famous army had arrived from the far west so quickly.
Not long after, two mighty generals with a height of eight feet walked into the camp.
As soon as the two of them entered, all the activity in it was still, so quiet that you could hear a needle on the ground.
I saw that they were in golden armor, with a rare divine weapon on their waists, and they were full of courage. One of them has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a pair of big eyes on his face, and a majestic look, he is the marshal of the Golden Banner Jin Lei.
The other body is like a tree trunk, the face is like a knife, a pair of eyes are golden, and the expression is gloomy and cold, he is the marshal of the wooden flag banner general, Mu Ji.
When the generals in the tent saw them, they were all in awe, and they did not dare to look at them directly.
Leia said politely: "Two flag generals, please take a seat." ”
Jin Lei and Mu Ji sat in the tent, second only to Leia's high position.
Leia told them her strategy of attack, wanting to hear their opinions.
Jin Lei Zhengse said: "I and my troops, as the main force, will attack the north and east with all our might, rushing all the way up the misty mountain range, and finally attacking the zenith of the sky!" ”
Mu Ji said: "My troops and I will attack the main road to the west and south as the main force, and defeat the enemy together with the golden banner and take the zenith of the sky!" ”
The words of the two made the rest of the generals present all startled, and one said: "Then our troops, don't they need to attack the mountain?" There was dissatisfaction in his voice. The golden flag and the wooden flag attack in four directions, then they have no way to go, so they can't get the battle merits, so what kind of battle is there to fight?
Jin Lei said coldly: "Of course you can't be idle, you block the retreat at the bottom of the mountain, don't let the enemy escape!" ”
"You..." The general was very angry, he was so underestimated that he could only be a battlefield sweeper, of course he would be angry.
Leia waved her hand and said, "Don't quarrel, just decide." ”
The Golden Banner and the Wooden Banner each had 100,000 troops, while the troops that Leia brought to pursue Baal were only 50,000. The 50,000 horses were originally a single unit, but they only diverged in the pursuit of Baal. At this time, they reorganized and turned into a 50,000 cavalry corps, which is also an elite force, but in the eyes of the two armies of the golden banner and the wooden flag, they are so despised that they can only be a gatekeeper.
When everything was ready, the Golden Banner and the Wooden Banner divided into four routes and attacked the Misty Mountains.
The 50,000 cavalry corps followed behind, blocking the entrances and exits of the four roads to prevent the enemy from escaping.
Leia, on the other hand, sits in the barracks, receiving information at any time and controlling the entire army. Not only does she have to wait for Barr to arrive at the outermost level, but she also has to calmly command all the people. She also specially organized a hundred-person dragoon brigade, accompanied by the three heavenly kings such as Suzaku, ready to fly straight to the zenith at any time.
***
It took Baal and Shanara ten days to reach the foot of the Misty Mountains.
At a glance, the clouds and mist are very large.
The remnants of the Burning Legion are hiding there. It's easy to defend and hard to attack, but if Leia wants to take it, then she can take it, and Barr doesn't doubt her ability at all.
Far from the snow-capped mountains, the climate has become humid and warm.
At the foot of the hill ahead, a stronghold appeared, where a force of several thousand men was stationed.
It seems that Leia's army has already arrived here, and I don't know what the situation is now.
Shanara summoned a few small spiders, and those little spiders crept into the stronghold to find out the information. Soon after, the spiders returned, and they told Shanara what they had heard, and Shanara gave it to Baal.
As soon as Barr heard that the two armies of the Golden Banner and the Wooden Banner, with a total of 200,000 men and horses, had all attacked the mountain, he was greatly alarmed. This is not good, the strength of monsters is generally very weak, a level 100 broadsword guard, can easily deal with several level 100 ordinary monsters at the same time, or more. The soldiers in the golden banner are more powerful than those big sword guards and elite cavalry. Those 200,000 horses, without an army of hundreds of thousands, nearly a million monsters, how could they resist?
In a panic, Barr and Shanara prepared to go up the mountain.
But from a distance, there are strongholds built everywhere at the foot of the mountain, many elite cavalry are patrolling, and the dragoons in the air are soaring one after another, and if they want to go up the mountain at this time, they will definitely be discovered.
Maybe Leia was waiting for him somewhere, and Baal couldn't take any chances now.
After much thought, Barr decided to act at night.
He and Shanara were in a hidden place, and they could see the time and route of the dragoons patrolling overhead.
The area here is extremely wide, and if you want to patrol 24 hours a day, it is not a simple matter, and the number of dragoons is simply not enough, so it is necessary to cooperate with the ground forces.
Barr found that the dragoons rarely patrolled the area where the ground forces were concentrated, so he looked for a larger stronghold to use as a route into the mountains.
After a brief dinner, it was already dark.
Baal and Shanara moved immediately, gradually approaching the stronghold, and then set fire to several tents and arrow towers.
Soon, the base burst into flames, shouts erupted, and the fire was brought under control in a blink of an eye. After a few spells of magic, the fire disappeared a lot.
Although the time was short, Barr had just managed to draw everyone's attention to the scene of the fire in the stronghold. He took the opportunity to let Shanara spread her wings and fly him high into the air.
Soon they were in the mountains. I thought it was a very successful plan, but at the last moment, an accident happened.
Since Shanara's Silver Moon Wings skill glows with a bright white silver glow, she flies high in the pitch-black sky, apparently as conspicuous as a night light. Barr thought they would have enough time to deal with it even if they were discovered, but a breath of fire suddenly flew in, which shattered Barr's plan.
"Damn, discovered!" Seeing a dragoon flying towards him from a distance, Barr secretly clenched his fists.
Shanara said: "There is no time to kill him now, and the people in the stronghold below have also discovered us, so we can't stay here for a long time." ”
Bal said: "Then go down quickly." ”
Barr looked down for some hidden place to land, but saw a few cold rays flying towards them.
Barr hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, there is also an ambush below!" ”
Several cold and glittering arrows swooped down and shot at Baal's body, but they were silently blocked by his dragon tortoise armor, he was not injured at all, but hurriedly said: "Keep flying!" ”
"Hmm!" Shanara nodded, and pushed forward.
At this moment, I suddenly heard several machine springs below, and the sound of catapults operating.
I only heard a few whirring sounds getting closer and closer, and when I looked back, it was dark and I couldn't see anything. Balburn tried to breathe out a breath of fire to see what was going on, but he noticed a large black object coming straight from the bottom up.
A large rock hit the two of them directly, and under the powerful impact, Shanara suddenly lost control and turned the world upside down.
Barr only felt his body fall rapidly, his head was a little dizzy, he hit the ground with a bang, and he was unconscious several times, but he heard dense footsteps getting closer and closer, and the group of men and horses had surrounded him.
