Volume 3 Chapter 13 The Mysterious Tower 2
Baozi caught a glimpse of a hundred-ten-kilogram black rock behind the third prince, so he ordered the soldiers to push it out of the tunnel, "Give me the rope that bundles immortals!" Find two pieces of armor! The third prince was confused by Baozi's crazy behavior, so he had to follow the order to find two pairs of armor, put them on Baozi's body, and put a heavy helmet on him. The third prince couldn't help but laugh when he saw Baozi's astronaut-like dress: "Brother, are you going to enter outer space to receive the baptism of meteorite rain?" ”
"It's more dangerous than space, there is no strong wind in space," Baozi said as he locked his waist and crotch with a rope to tie the fairy, tied the other end to the boulder, and climbed towards the entrance of the cave instead. The soldiers in the tunnel saw that Bao Shangshen was so dedicated, and they all sighed and sighed, and stepped forward to dissuade them, and some proposed to replace the buns to go out to investigate. Baozi overrode public opinion and stubbornly climbed out of the pit. The wind carried the stones like a mudslide in the air, and the apple-sized stones smashed densely into the back of the bun, and the pain spread all over his body, although his weight was not rolled up, but he already felt as if he was floating in the water, and a huge thrust dragged him to the top of the mountain like a big hand, and at this moment the rope was just straightened, and he grabbed the rock at the top of the mountain, temporarily balancing in the storm. There was no sound in the darkness except the howling of the wind; There was nothing but the flying stones. Suddenly, a purple light flashed in the distance, and although it was faint, its light was very dazzling in the dark night. That's the Tower!
Baozi calmed down and urged the eyes of the sky, and everything in the darkness seemed to show a purple-red halo and became clear, just like the scene seen by infrared night vision devices. He saw that when the huge air flow rushed towards the tower, it actually split to both sides, just like a large river diverged to both sides when it passed through the delta, the air flow was cut, the speed and impact force were faster and greater, and the two air currents continued to fly forward, one air flow rushed towards the sky like a dragon out of the sea, and as the upward force became smaller and smaller, the stones that were wrapped in it fell one after another, and were captured by the two air currents rushing forward, flying towards the depths of darkness. A giant dragon has been cut into three thin dragons by the action of the tower, and the most eerie and spectacular is the one that soars into the sky.
The core of the barracks was not harmed in any substantial way - there was no wind in the central area under the shelter of the tower!
The tower is a storm shelter.
How does it work? How to talk about the principle with ghosts and immortals. There is so much uncertainty in this world.
Baozi grabbed the ground and retreated back to the tunnel in the posture of a scorpion climbing the city upside down. The crowd brought him in, and found that the outermost layer of armor had been stoned and filled with potholes.
Hearing this discovery, the third prince scratched his bearded and stubbled face, "So what? ”
"At least a discovery." Baozi didn't understand what his discovery meant, three hours passed, the wind gradually weakened, it was difficult to carry large stones and sand, several people braved the wind to run to the top of the mountain again, looking up at the dark sky, and the dead moon gradually became clear again. The light of the tower went out, and the world slowly returned to dead silence.
"If this military camp is not infiltrated and investigated, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through from the outside." Baozi said, "There are faint crossfire points in their city, and there are no blind spots, unless you can enter the center of the camp and attack from the inside out." ”
"That's, here our immortal law is restricted, we can't fly, we can't jump, if we can gallop through the sky like back then, we would have taken this city a long time ago."
"Even if the siege battle is fought smoothly, it will take a day and a night, and it will be difficult to attack the city before the ghost wind arrives, then everything will be in vain."
In the camp besieged by the third prince, Peng Yue, Song Yu and Kong Dechang were boredly throwing stones, and the guards in front of the gate were ordered by the third prince to not allow the three to go out at will. Kong Dechang was happy to be idle, and sharpened the chess pieces with a knife in order to play chess with Song Yu. It has always been Peng Yue's norm to be stunned, and he looked at the officers and soldiers walking around the camp, and he stayed for a long time. And after the gale, just as the soldiers ran out to clean up the mess, Peng Yue suddenly stood up and strode out. The sentry hurriedly intercepted, "Hey, there is an order from above, you must not walk around the barracks at will!" ”
Peng Yue pushed away the sentry, and without throwing any reason, he swaggered into the front line of the confrontation between the two armies. Song Yu was just about to run out with Peng Yue, but was pulled by Kong Dechang, "Sit down, you can't go out." ”
"Why?"
"Li Si died so strangely, now the immortal soldiers suspect us, if you are disobedient, you will get into trouble. Listen to me, stay and don't move anywhere. ”
Peng Yue ran quickly towards the city, and the soldiers behind him shouted "Stop!" Peng Yue turned a deaf ear, once he moved, he was as swift as a leopard, he deftly jumped between the wreckage of the destroyed siege engines, and in a blink of an eye he had run to the bottom of the city, and not a single shot was fired from the arrow tower of the battlement. Peng Yue took out a set of iron claws from his waist bag, deftly tied them to his wrists, and was about to climb up along the sloping city wall little by little, when he suddenly felt a sudden tightness in the back of his neck.
Peng Yue turned his head in surprise and found that the third prince was tugging at his neck and looking at him with a smile.
It turned out that the third prince and Baozi were observed at the top of the mountain, and quickly ran back to the camp while the wind had just stopped, ready to study the offensive strategy on the problems found, and suddenly saw a commotion in the barracks, Peng Yue's figure was gradually running away, he was as strong as a leopard, and the bounce power was also amazing, and what was even more strange was that the opponent's arrow tower did not give him any shooting warning, but his own side was like a rain of arrows.
"Brother, look," the third prince said with a smile, "this dog is showing his head"
Baozi nodded, and the third prince flew away, using a trick to get out of the water, sticking to the ground like a snake foraging for food, and rushed behind Peng Yue, just the moment he was about to climb the city, he fell down under the city.
The third prince took out his waist knife, put it across Peng Yue's neck, and asked with a slight pant, "What's the matter, if you don't stay for two days, you will go back to your parents' house?" ”
Peng Yue glanced at him, "I have nothing to say to you." ”
"I don't have anything to say, but I have something to say to the city?"
"There really is" Peng Yue actually smiled, without the slightest sense of fear.
When the third prince saw that this person was shameless, he tightened his collar and said, "I'm a hospitable person, how about going back with me to drink a bowl of candied wine before leaving?" ”
"Third prince, you have thought about it, if you don't let me go up today, you will regret it" Peng Yue threatened the third prince one by one.
"Oh, I'll go," the third prince laughed angrily, "Did you hear me right, you threaten me?" ”
"I'm advising you to seize the opportunity and quickly lead people to attack the city"
"Pull it down, you," the third prince slapped Peng Yue on the back of the head, "You wronged the big-headed ghost, and you fooled me." Let's go! Saying that, he grabbed Peng Yue's collar and ran back, just halfway through the run, there was a dense gunfire in the arrow tower, the two of them held their heads and hid, the front position of the immortal army saw that the commander was blocked by fire, and hurriedly set up a catapult and threw stones at the arrow tower. When the wind hit, in order to avoid wind damage, the catapults were dismantled in advance, which took a lot of effort to assemble. As soon as the infantry saw that the artillery could not borrow their strength, they desperately fired crossbows at the opposing wall. Although the range was just scratching the edge, it barely suppressed the opponent's firepower.
In addition, there were only two small works under the city, and the soldiers on the city tower refused to work hard and waste ammunition, so they retreated after a few shots.
