Chapter 70: The Great War and the Trapped Dragon Bay (9)
The Five Elements Sect is divided into five altars of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, of which there are nine halls under the thick soil altar, which are the Quannong Hall, the Forest Protection Hall, the Animal Power Hall, the Nomadic Hall, the Xiangshui Hall, the Changhe Hall, the Bian River Hall, the Mountain Hall, and the Salt Tea Hall, each hall is built with one or two armies, scattered throughout the country;
Ruijintan has five armies, namely the Sword and Pen Army, the Iron Fence Army, the Chain Army, the Golden Gong Army, and the Iron Arrow Army.
Although it is inconvenient for him to appear in person, he also sent the powerful Iron Fence Army, the Chain Army, and the Iron Arrow Army to help, leaving the weaker Sword and Pen Army and the Golden Gong Army with him to dispatch;
Xiangmutan also has five armies, namely the Muniu Army, the Tengjia Army, the Flower Poison Army, the Che Weapon Army, and the Caoshan Army, a large part of which was taken to Shenglong Valley by Shen Moxuan, and was on the way back at this time, while the Che Ao Army stayed in Sleepy Dragon Bay to participate in the ambush at the beginning;
There are six armies under the fire altar, namely the Demolition Army, the Flame Army, the Qingyan Army, the Rocket Army, the Artillery Army, and the Kong Ming Army.
Wushuitan has the Witch Doctor Team, the Pill Team, the Treading Wave Army, the Qianlong Army, the Fishing Net Army, the Fishing Su Army, and the Ice Cold Army, which are under the command of the Lord of the Snow Mountain Altar, and also gave out the death force for this ambush, and the six-way ground net array is the masterpiece of the Fishing Net Army.
The Five Elements Sect is usually a gang organization lurking in the shadows, and the construction time of the regular army is not long, so there is no unified military system in each altar, most of them are adapted to local conditions, given shape with things, and extended and amplified according to their own advantages.
As a result, each army not only has its own functions, or is good at water attack, or is proficient in firearms, or likes mountain warfare, or is accustomed to engineering work, but even the number of troops varies greatly, ranging from 35,000 to 10,000 or even 20,000.
The backbone of them are all members of the Five Elements Sect, probably one-fifth of the total number, and the remaining four-fifths are ordinary people who have only been recruited in the last two or three years, and a considerable number of them have not even awakened their martial spirits.
The average strength of the army under the jurisdiction of the Five Elements Sect is weak, but as the backbone of the Five Elements Sect, it is not so simple, it should be said that all of them have good combat effectiveness.
When the people joined the army of the Five Elements Sect, they could not be said to be disciples of the Five Elements Sect. To really join them, they also need to be strictly audited, and the standards are very strict.
Long Yuandong knew very little about the Five Elements Sect, and he couldn't tell who was an ordinary soldier and who was a backbone disciple, and of course he couldn't capture the thief and capture the king first. His goal now is to kill and wound as much of the enemy's living force as possible and break through the encirclement.
Whoever stands in front of the Long He army will be the enemy, and he will have to pay the price of blood!
After five rounds of javelin projection, the 3,000 Iron Arrows suffered heavy casualties, left most of their bodies behind, and fled to the depths of the valley.
Long Yuandong was not familiar with the terrain, so he didn't dare to pursue, jumped on a small hill, made a general observation, and suddenly found that Han Gongting's figure appeared on the mountainside in front of the right, and his heart jumped, I don't know whether to break through along the mountain road on the left as originally planned, or if the soldiers are dangerous, and go all out to attack the camp of the Five Elements Sect Marshal and capture the thief chief.
He Dali followed his gaze, and also noticed Han Gongting, Xue Manshan, and Zhong Yulou, and shouted: "What are you waiting for?
With a hoe, he smashed a catapult that was blocking the way, jumped down the hill first, and charged towards the camp of the Five Elements Sect Marshal.
Long Yuandong was afraid that He Dali would lose, so he took two quick steps and went hand in hand with him, but he didn't run far when he suddenly smelled a faint smell of fire oil.
With his alertness, he naturally immediately sensed that this was another trap.
The position where Long Hejun was at this time was the catapult position before the Five Elements Sect, separated from Han Gongting's tent by a deep valley.
They had now run a little way to the valley, and if they turned back, they could certainly avoid the trap in front of them, but the 100,000 troops of the Five Elements Sect had painstakingly lured him in, how could there be a trap in only this one direction?
In other words, unless the Longhe army does not move, as long as it moves, no matter which way it goes, it will be difficult to escape the attack.
So instead of being afraid of the head and tail, afraid of the wolf and the tiger, it is better to make a heart and fight hard, maybe it is a way out!
Long Yuandong's heart flashed, and he had already made a decision in an instant.
The husband is born as a human being, and he must kill happily, and he must die to understand!
Today, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of you, and Longtan Tiger's Den, you have to break through!
He resolutely said: "Feng Asan! Use water! Wet and drench everyone! The rest of the people, prepare to throw guns!"
On the other side of the valley, around the tent of the commander of the Five Elements Sect, more than 20,000 soldiers suddenly leaned out, no longer hiding, and shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!"
The sound resounded in the sky, the mountains and valleys should respond, and the momentum was magnificent!
Long Yuandong looked up and saw that the ambush troops of the Five Elements Sect were all out, all over the mountains and fields, banners were spreading, and each was waiting for the battle according to the advantageous terrain, and he was not at all taken by the enemy's might in his heart, and shouted: "Okay! Finally, we will not hide! No matter how many enemies there are today, we will let go and kill them happily! If one person kills one, it is eight hundred, if one person kills ten, it is eight thousand, and if one person kills one hundred, it is eighty thousand! I want to see how many people in the bandit army can let us kill!"
A soldier is a general, and it will be the soul of a soldier.
Long Yuandong is fearless because of the Long He Army, and the Long He Army is indomitable because of Long Yuandong!
The crowd shouted in unison: "Kill all the enemies!" The enthusiastic heroism was not inferior to the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Five Elements Sect.
Long Yuandong's eyes froze, and he said, "Listen to my command! Three hundred meters in front of you, projection!"
The next moment, at the foot of the opposite mountain, a banner withered to the ground, and four or five hundred members of the Iron Fence Army died heroically at the same time.
Han Gongting frowned, and said, "Long Yuandong is really full of courage, and in such a desperate situation, he really dares to attack our handsome camp. In that case, let's give them something awesome!"
He raised his right hand high, saw the right time, waved it down, and said, "Ignite the fire!"
Zhong Yulou shouted: "Wait a minute! I still have four hundred disciples in the gunpowder array from the fire altar, and I haven't had time to withdraw!"
This powder array was set up in advance, but the explosives could be buried in advance, and the ignition oil used to ignite it could only be dumped temporarily because of the strong smell, otherwise the other party would easily find the flaws and take a detour to avoid risks.
The Five Elements Sect couldn't determine in which direction the Long He army would break through, so in order to be foolproof, they had prepared as many as seven places for the same gunpowder array, and this place happened to be the one where the most gunpowder was planted and the area covered the most.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Han Gongting's eyes, and he said, "Confused! When they withdraw, the Long He Army also rushed out!"
Zhong Yulou's lips trembled, and he finally didn't say anything.
He knew that in order to annihilate the Longhe army, the Five Elements Sect had lost more than 10,000 people one after another, and at this critical moment of the decisive battle, it would be nothing to sacrifice another 400 people.
They couldn't leave the slightest chance for the Long He army to pass through the powder array because they were worried about the lives of these 400 disciples, otherwise, they might die 4,000 or 40,000 more people because of this, which was more important, and it was a good choice.
Despite this, Zhong Yulou still felt guilty and self-blaming in his heart, and the pain was unspeakable.
