Outside the maze, the sun had already set, and the sky was getting darker.

At this moment, under the escort of a group of leaders and masters, Nie Zheng slowly approached dozens of meters forward, and stopped when he was still thirty meters away from the boring area where there was no grass.

"How so?"

Nie Zheng looked at the thirty dragon and tiger elites who had entered the boring area, and his brows furrowed deeply.

I saw that after the thirty people entered the boring area to investigate, all of a sudden, as if they had encountered some strange and terrifying scene, they all turned pale and screamed in horror, as if they were lost.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng's face sank and said, "Let them come out quickly!" ”

After hearing the order, Shi Zheng hurriedly rushed to the edge of the formation and ordered loudly: "Zhang Qiu, Luo Huanbao...... Quickly lead the people to retreat! ……”

Under the gaze of Nie Zheng and the others, Shi Zheng shouted several times at the inside, but the strange thing was that the thirty dragon and tiger elites who entered inside seemed to be unable to hear the sound of the outside at all, and they were still like headless flies, scurrying around inside.

Suddenly, as if they had encountered some terrible enemy, they picked up their weapons and slashed and waved wildly.

Clanging, sparks splashing!!

Suddenly, a sharp sound of weapons colliding came from the strange and boring area.

At this moment, a scene that shocked Nie Zheng appeared.

Thirty dragon and tiger elites who were sent in to investigate, almost at the same time, as if they were under some invisible attack, their bodies continued to appear with knife wounds, and suddenly, they let out a series of terrible screams of pain, and they fell to the ground with blood splashing everywhere.

Seeing this scene, everyone standing on the periphery of the boring area all changed their faces drastically and their expressions were shocked.

Especially Shi Zheng, the thirty elites who had just been sent in to investigate, all of them were his close henchmen, and when he saw them lying in a pool of blood, Shi Zheng's eyes suddenly split, and he kept screaming at the voices inside.

"Zhangqiu !!"

"Luo Huanbao!! ……”

Seeing that Shi Zheng's emotions were a little out of control, Nie Zheng's face sank, and he hurriedly ordered Niu Meng: "You guys hurry up and drag him back for me!" ”

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

After hearing the order, Niu Meng and Xu Shijie immediately rushed to Shi Zheng's side and dragged him back.

At this time, Shi Zheng came to Nie Zheng with a sad and angry face, and said with a look of grief and indignation: "Alliance leader, my subordinates are willing to bring people in to find out, and bring their corpses back by the way!" ”

Nie Zheng glanced at him and said, "That area is a little weird, wait for us to discuss it carefully and take action." ”

After that, he didn't pay attention to the reaction of the administration, and directly ordered loudly: "Everyone listen to the order, immediately raise the vigilance, and set up a defensive formation!" ”

Under Nie Zheng's order, all of a sudden, the four thousand dragon and tiger elites scattered like a tide.

After all the teams stopped, Nie Zheng gave the order again, ordered everyone to take out arms and weapons, and began to deploy an arms defense position on the wasteland outside Yangzhou City.

Under the command of the leaders, 200 machine gun crews, carrying 50 Makqin heavy machine guns, rushed to the front of the team, lined up at a distance of 20 meters, and deployed all 50 heavy machine guns outside the city.

At the same time, 80 rocket launchers and 250 grenadier launchers also took out their weapons and ammunition and deployed them in various areas outside the city, ready to attack the protective array 100 meters ahead.

At this moment, the sky has darkened.

Far away, a few miles away, in the north city tower of Yangzhou, above the city walls on the left and right, rows of torches were burning, shining up and down the entire north city defense, and the lights were bright.

Through the telescope in his hand, Nie Zheng clearly saw that above the north city defense, soldiers were surging, swords and guns were numerous, especially on the city walls on the left and right wings of the north city tower, behind the rows of square battlements, there were already thousands of big Yue crossbowmen, bending bows and arrows, pointing out of the city!

At the same time, on top of the city defense that was several kilometers long, a large number of city defense equipment such as stones, rolling logs, fork rods, and poisonous dung were prepared.

What is even more shocking is the trebuchet and wolf tooth collision above the North City Defense.

Basically, above the city walls on both sides of the North City Tower, every few tens of meters, a huge trebuchet is deployed, near the trebuchet, several stoves are burning, and there are boiling smoke in several large copper cauldrons on it, and I don't know whether the pot is boiling oil or other venom.

On the majestic city wall as high as six zhang, every thirty meters, there is a huge wolf's tooth log, which is the most ferocious weapon in the city, the wolf's tooth crash.

Eight meters long, as thick as a water tank, the wolf's fangs were covered with sharp knives and barbs.

On the walls of the northern city defense, which is several kilometers long, it is densely hung with this ferocious wolf tooth crash.

As long as the enemy holds a ladder and forcibly climbs the wall to attack the city, the soldiers guarding the city will pull up the wolf's fangs hanging from the wall, and then put it down fiercely.

Suddenly, those huge and heavy wolf fangs collided, and they would sway from side to side like thunder, and directly hit those enemies who climbed the city, and their skin and flesh were cracked, and their muscles and bones were broken.

In addition to these large defensive equipment, hundreds of six-hole bed crossbows were also deployed on top of the northern city defense.

Each bed crossbow weighed hundreds of kilograms, and was mounted and fixed in the dark wall below the battlements, echoing the upper level of the city, and cooperating with the battle.

In addition to these large-scale offensive and defensive equipment, Nie Zheng also looked at many city defense equipment that he couldn't name.

Obviously, the military defense force of this ancient state city is really extraordinary.

Especially after the Dayue people occupied Yangzhou City, their defense capabilities of the entire city were frantically strengthened and strengthened a lot, if it was an ordinary cold-weapon army, if they wanted to break through this city, they were afraid that it would take a huge price.

However, this is only for those ancient armies who mainly siege cities with cold weapons.

Once a special force like Nie Zheng, who has a large number of arms and weapons, uses bazookas, grenadiers and mountain artillery to attack the city defense of Yangzhou, the city defense weapons deployed by the Dayue people will undoubtedly be just a bluffing ornament for the Dragon and Tiger Army.

However, in order to successfully attack the city, it is necessary to break through the strange and boring area ahead.

After some observation just now, Nie Zheng is now very sure.

That mysterious area where no grass grows is definitely the moat of Yangzhou City.

The strangeness of this big array really shocked Nie Zheng, because it was completely different from what he had guessed before.

On the way to attack Yangzhou City, Nie Zheng had imagined many times that if the protective array of Yangzhou City was just a formation with a giant defensive shield, then it would be much easier for them to break the formation.

But after arriving outside the city, Nie Zheng was surprised to find that this Yangzhou city protection array was so weird and ordinary.

Standing outside the moat, you can't detect anything powerful about it at all, but after sending someone in, it's like entering a labyrinth, and you can't exit at all.

If you don't break this great array of city protection, your own team will not be able to rush under the city at all.

You must know that the area of the front gate of the moat array is as wide as two miles, and behind the moat, there is a moat about ten zhang wide.

Counting inside and out, Nie Zheng's team was at least nearly three miles away from the city.

At such a long distance, whether it is a bazooka or a grenadier, their range is far from being able to attack the opposite city, and the effective range of heavy machine guns, although it is more than a thousand meters.

But from here to the head of the city, it is at least about 1,300 meters.

At such a distance, even if the bullets of the heavy machine gun can hit it, the estimated lethality and hit rate will not pose much threat to the enemy.

However, none of these are actually the main ones.

The most important thing is that if Nie Zheng's team can't attack the city, and is always blocked by this big protective array, even if he drags out ten mountain cannons to break through the defense of the northern city of Yangzhou, so what?

If you can't occupy the city, all the consumption will be in vain.

Besides, in addition to wanting to break through the city as soon as possible, Nie Zheng also had to secretly beware that the enemy would send heavy troops out of the city to sneak attack.

If the Dragon and Tiger Army had not attacked the city for a long time, with the sinister and cunning character of those Dayue people, they would have been prepared to deal with them a long time ago.

When the time comes, Nie Zheng's men and horses will have a large array in front of the city to block the road, and there will be a sneak attack by Dayue's soldiers and horses in the back, and the situation of the Dragon and Tiger Army will become very passive.

Although they have a large arsenal of weapons that can repel any enemy who comes to sneak attack, there will always be a moment when they run out of ammunition.

Therefore, in order to keep the initiative in his own hands, Nie Zheng decided that he must break the formation as soon as possible, and he must figure out the reality in the big city protection array.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng immediately summoned all the leaders and leaders to his side, preparing to send a group of powerful warrior masters again to enter the big city protection array and spy on the reality.

Soon, dozens of leaders led by Niu Meng, Shi Zheng, Xu Shijie, and Xue Changsheng all gathered in front of Nie Zheng.

At this time, Nie Zheng looked at everyone with a cold face, and ordered in a deep voice: "I want to send ten more masters to enter the big array to spy on the reality, this time the personnel, the strength must be above the sixth-rank warrior, among you, who is willing to take the order?" ”

"Alliance leader, Niu Meng is willing to go."

"Subordinate Xu Shijie is willing to go."

"The subordinate government is willing to go.

"Subordinate An Dehai is willing to go to ......"

All the leaders expressed their willingness to accept the order.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng pondered slightly for a moment, and finally decided: "Okay, since everyone is willing to go, then I will select ten people from among you to go." ”

"Niu Meng, governance, and Andehai...... Ten of you tied ropes around your waists, entered the edge of the great protective array, and spied carefully, remembering, no matter what you encounter, you must not go deep without permission, so as not to encounter accidents! ”

"Yes, Alliance Leader!" ……
