Chapter 266: Loren Snow Mountain
"A dark passage, I don't know who dug it." The proprietress said.
"Oh, the Secret Passage?" I became even more interested, "Where does it lead?" Inside the city? β
If it weren't for the city, it wouldn't seem to make much sense.
However, the proprietress shook her head disappointed: "Not in the city. β
I smiled bitterly and put down my drink: "Okay, thank you Auntie, I have to go up and command." β
Outside the city, there was another shout of killing, and it was the second round of attack of the Suzaku Army.
"Hey, wait, General!" The proprietress stopped me, "I'm not done yet!" β
"Huh?" I turned around, "Isn't it not going to the city?" We can't get out of the city now, and we can't take advantage of the secret passages that go to the city. β
"No," the proprietress smiled wryly, "I mean, the passage doesn't lead into the city, but it leads toβgeneral, look!" β
The proprietress pointed to the distant mountains outside the city: "General, do you see the highest snow-capped mountain?" β
I nodded, looked at the distance, and it was about five or six kilometers away in a straight line.
"Where do you lead?" I asked.
The proprietress nodded: "It's called Loren Peak, it's the holy land of our White Tiger City, there is a snow-capped mountain lake on the top of the peak, called Loren Lake, and the secret passage leads to the dam by Loren Lake, as long as the dam is opened, the lake water will be poured into the dark passage." β
"Flooding the mountains with water...... Did it work? I couldn't help but frown.
"General, you will go up to the city later, and take a closer look at the terrain beyond the east of the city, and you will understand that this secret passage may ...... It was dug by the White Tiger Army to prevent the enemy from attacking from the east, well, probably. The proprietress smiled mysteriously.
I narrowed my eyes: "Auntie, you know a lot, isn't it because you went up the mountain to collect medicine that you know about the secret way?" β
"Hehe, it's still seen by the general," the proprietress said with a shy smile, "I can't hide it, general, that secret passage was dug up by my husband before his death." β
I shook the hostess's hand: "Thank you!" β
"I wish the general a triumphant!"
"Definitely!" I turned around and rushed to the city gate, the second wave of the Vermilion Bird Army had indeed slaughtered out of the dense forest, this time there were many, and it seemed that there were 10,000 people.
I observed the terrain outside the city and instantly understood what the proprietress meant!
It turns out that the small grassland outside the east wall of the city gate is a basin in the absolute sense, with Mount Loren in the east, the white horse city wall in the west, and the north and south sides are all towering broken arms.
"General, do you shoot this time?" The adjutant asked.
"Don't shoot, it's too far, their armor is also very good, it's difficult to exert the power of bows and arrows, stay close, just hit it with a stone," I patted the lieutenant on the shoulder, "Brother, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go and copy the enemy's back road!" β
"Copy, copy the back road?" The lieutenant looked confused.
"Don't ask, I'm leaving! You have to resist it! I took a few steps and came back, "Oh, by the way, if you have time, call on the people to get more stones to block the door, so that they are strong and solid, thicker than the city walls, impermeable to the wind and impermeable." β
The lieutenant was puzzled, but nodded anyway.
I ran down the city, turned on my horse, and went straight to the south gate of White Horse City to find the third princess.
On the city gate, the so-called Three Kingdoms Alliance army on their side has not yet arrived at the battlefield, looking at it from a distance, the camp of more than a thousand dragoons stationed at the fork in the Valley of the Dead has been bulldozed, they and I are not worried, they can retreat into the Valley of Death, the two sides have established contact, Xiaoqian will meet them.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, if you find it difficult to resist, you will send someone to go to the West Gate, go to the Valley of Death, and order the demons there to participate in the battle, and attack back and forth!" I gave advice to the third princess, which is also the reason why I am more at ease with the defense of the South Gate, and I have a follow-up move.
"Huh, like you did last time you hit us?" The third princess sneered, she looked quite confident.
ββ¦β¦ Yes, you lend me ten dragoons, I will use them. I said.
Borrowing some soldiers is naturally nothing, the third princess personally selected a team of ten people for me, all of whom are masters with complexions. I told them to throw away their weapons, take off their armor, travel lightly, carry only short knives for self-defense, each with a backpack, gunpowder and fuses on their backs, a group of eleven people, in the woods in the northeast corner of White Horse City, fall down the city, this side is a rugged mountain, it is difficult for people and horses to pass, but it is nothing to us, through the mountains, from the side, in the dense forest, straight to the Loren Snow Mountain.
On the way, we also met the rearguard of the Suzaku Army, there were not many people, mainly wounded soldiers, it seemed that they were all injured legs, feet, and arms, probably in the mountains in a hurry, accidentally fell and injured, the dragoons asked me, whether to attack, I shook my head, let them go around, it is better to take more unjust roads, than to startle snakes.
The military situation was urgent, we barely stopped, about an hour later, we successfully climbed to the top of the Loren Snow Mountain, above the snow mountain, is a volcano, the area of this crater, it is much larger than the Yuxu Palace, it feels similar to the area of the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, very large, I asked the soldiers to divide into two teams, along the inner side of the ridge to find the dam and the secret crossing, find the location, send a signal.
I was tired, sitting on the stone, panting, looking at the bottom of the mountain, the whole city of white horses, all in the bottom of my eyes, just because there were clouds and mist on the snow-capped mountain, the south gate and the west gate could not see clearly, I could only see the north gate and the east gate, the battle at the east gate was very fierce, the red tassels of the Vermilion Bird Army had covered the grassland basin outside the city gate, and on the hill between the east gate and the snow-capped mountain, I saw the rest of the Vermilion Bird Red Silk Army, all standing on the ridgeline, lined up.
I probably counted, it seems that there are not 30,000 people, but there are only about 17,000 or 8,000 people when the battle is full, and the more than 10,000 people in the grassland basin are already most of their main force.
That's right, it is the scouts who tell us the data of 30,000, the scouts of the Suzaku Army, fooling us, 30,000 is the "claim", in ancient wars, we paid attention to this, if we sent 100,000 troops, claimed to be 300,000, and sent 300,000 troops, we dared to claim to be 800,000 troops.
And on the south side, I don't know why, the coalition forces have not yet begun to attack, I only heard a few sparse cannon sounds, and the explosion point, falling in the city, lighting a few fires, it is useless, unless it happens to hit our army's armory, which just now our gunpowder was received from.
"Master Chen, I found it." The soldier closest to me whispered to me from more than 20 meters away that the mountain was ethereal, and the voice of the voice echoed, and it was possible to be spotted by the enemy troops on the lower hill opposite.
I followed his hand and looked over, and the other dragoon, also reaching out, one relay the other, to the sixth dragoon, about two hundred meters away from me, he raised his hands and signaled that he was there.
I made a gesture of "gathering", and everyone ran along the inside of the mountain, towards the dragoon, and sure enough, it was a dam, but it was surrounded by dense forests, and if you didn't get close, you couldn't find it, and under the dam, there was an obvious depression, but it was also a dense forestβan underground forest.
"Did you find the entrance to the passage?" I asked.
"Down there." The dragoon pointed down, I looked down, there was a dragoon, had climbed to the bottom of the dam, my skills, not as agile as them, under their protection, only to go down the dam, to the bottom, sure enough, there is a big hole, flat, about ten meters long, about four meters high, obviously there are traces of artificial excavation.
I picked up a rock, threw it into the hole, gurgled and rolled far, far, and proved to be a big downhill.
"Need to go in and take a look?" A dragoon asked me.
"No, there's no time, there's no need, measure the angle, and prepare to blow up the dam!"
I drew out the location relationship map of the dam and the hole on the ground, and used the trigonometric function to find out where to blow up the dam so that the water could flow into the hole as much as possible, and finally calculated the location, and gave them a few stunned, calling Lord Chen smart, Niubi, too powerful!
After settling the position, I divided the area into small squares next to each other, and asked each dragoon to dig a hole deep into the dam in their own small squares, bury the explosives in it, and then seal the hole with stones and earth, and tamp it down, leaving only the fuse outside.
After the explosives were planted, I connected all the fuses together, which were not long enough, only four or five meters, not enough to reach the top of the hill at a safe distance.
I looked above their heads, the strongest one, the first rank of Qingqi, was already quite a powerful character, I gave him the lighter, taught him how to use it, and gave him this glorious and difficult task, and then, I and nine other people climbed to the top of the mountain, waiting to see the floodgates open and release the water.
After we reached safety, the green master dragoon lit the fuse, turned around and ran, climbed up as fast as he could, a very deep pit, and when he was only halfway up, the explosives went off, and a lot of stone fragments were blown up, and a crack was blown out in the dam.
I asked everyone to take a hand and pull the guy up first, everyone stood on the top of the mountain, waited for more than ten seconds, and still didn't respond.
"Is there a lack of explosives?" Questions were raised.
"There's no time to go back then," the other pointed to the cloud of exploding smoke floating into the air, "Our chance has been exposed." β
"Lao Tzu go down and chisel it!" Another bull-like dragoon roared.
"I'll see it's okay, go down and try again!" Someone chimed in.
"Shhhh I stopped, pointing at the bull dragoon, "You roar again." β
"What?"
"Shout out loudβah! Shout at the other side! I said.
"Ahh
This guy's voice was so loud, deafening, so angry that he shouted for about five seconds, and I waved my hand to stop: "Listen! β
Everyone pricked up their ears, ah, ah, ah, the echo of the bull, echoing in the middle of the crater, endlessly, the point is, the intensity seemed to be increased, suddenly, in the dam, there was a click, and a new crack appeared in the dam.
"This crater is a natural echo wall!" It dawned on me, "The dam is designed on the strongest reflection point of the sound bar!" β
ββ¦β¦ What is a sound bar? The dragoon asked confusedly.
"Don't worry about it, everyone come with me, mobilize your true qi, and shout in that direction!" I pointed in the direction of the bull's roar just now, which is a sleek inner arc of the crater, and the dots of the arc seem to be the place where the dam is located, so the echo effect is so strong.
"Come, one, two, three, shout!" I ordered.
"Ahh
The sound generated by eleven people who know martial arts, within a short distance, is enough to cut off the heart of a normal person, this is not a lion's roar, it is just the physical effect of sound waves, it is very scientific.
The sound waves gathered on the arc surface, reflected back, and shot towards the cracks in the dam, bang, the crack of the dam, and suddenly spewed out a stream of water, the pressure was extremely strong, like the fireman's high-pressure water gun, it was too thin.
"Come again!" I command, one, two, three, shout!
The sound waves were refracted back, the dam banged again, and the water flow became much thicker.
In the third, fourth, and fifth rounds, the dam finally couldn't withstand the sonic damage, and was completely blown open, and the white water rushed straight into the hole like a dragon......
