Climb high and look into the distance, on the long loess road with an unobstructed view, the dust and sand are all over the sky, the air is mixed with the unpleasant smell of sea and salty wetness, it seems low and depressed, there is a huge sense of oppression in the continuous push, the woods on the low hills on both sides are pressed down and low, a gust of wind swept by, and countless leaves are fallen.

On the west city wall, on the high platform, behind the battlements, a person has an ordinary face, wearing a red robe, wearing a narrow knife at his waist, with a dark tortoiseshell scabbard, and a cold light. On the left, a man with a frail face but also wearing armor, and behind him stood a man with a roe deer's head and a single black blindfold on his face, accompanied by four men in black.

On the side of this man there is a square ear, and a burly man is dressed in hard armor, standing with one hand on the sword.

Another person wears a red and black soaphorn official uniform, and he also wears an official-made scimitar at his waist.

Several people gathered together, their faces were similar, all of them looked into the distance seriously and solemnly, staring at the countless shadowy figures in the dust and sand getting closer and closer.

The sound of footsteps breaking the silence of the moment, one of them turned and stepped back.

After a moment of whispering, the man walked back.

It was the person who stood by the sword before, who came behind the man with a weak face in armor, let out a long breath, and said softly: "Lord Yuxian Ling, those monsters of the West Sea in the smoke and dust in front of you are less than twenty miles away from my Yulin and less than ten miles away from the pit. It is also consistent with the news that Bai Shaoxia brought back before, about 200,000 numbers. ”

The pit in this person's words is the huge pit dug by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ten miles out of the city many days ago, with a radius of 30 zhang and 5 zhang deep, and full of iron spears.

"It's less than ten miles from the pit. Zhang Xianling muttered in a low voice, and then immediately said in an ordered tone: "Lieutenant Tong, immediately send an order, let the guards and soldiers of the major city gates take action, and the storm is coming in an instant." ”

Zhang Qianjian is a civil official of the county order, and he is wearing armor today, and the four black-clothed people behind him were appointed by His Royal Highness the Prince, and they pay attention to protecting the safety of the county commander at any time.

"Yes. County Lieutenant Tong replied in a low voice, and immediately spread the orders of the county commander to the four major city gates.

Since the meeting in the study that day, this is the first time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhang Xianling and others have gathered together, in order to face the first wave of siege of the monsters of the West Sea.

Among the few people, there was no Zheng Xiuyong, the battalion commander of Zheng, and there was no Qian Sheng, the boss of the 1,000 mountain bandits before, and these two people were sent to the city walls on both sides to defend it, in case those monsters attacked the city in waves, and turned to the rest of the city gates.

And the strange thing is that the old man is not on this city tower, to be precise, the old man can not be found in the entire four major city walls.

Since the last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince investigated the news of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, he had not met the old man in the county government since he returned to the city, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also asked Zhang Qianjian about this matter, and he also shook his head and said that he didn't know.

Zhang Qian saw that there were many things, so naturally he didn't have much effort to pay attention to the old man's movements, and even if he deliberately stared at it, he couldn't see that his old man was not.

After so many days, there is still no figure of the old man, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not so worried that the old man will run away, because he still has to borrow his Qianli Sound Transmission Snail to go to the Dragon Palace for a walk.

It's just that I don't know where the carefree immortal went to play crazy, and if he can't find anyone after a day, he won't be able to find it, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about it.

And at the beginning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not pin their hopes on his old man for facing the 200,000 monsters of the West Sea this time, not to mention that the old man was used to being at ease, but he would help them, and even if he could, a few people would not be able to open this mouth.

Moreover, even a master like Chen Banyang can play a very small role in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, but he can only be alone, and he will still die after staying for a long time.

In less than a stick of incense, the people who had been waiting for it were ready for a long time.

With the speed of those monsters, less than ten miles away, they quickly arrived, and in full view of countless guards, there were the first batch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals at the front, stepping on the pit they had prepared in advance, which was the first great gift they prepared for these monsters that were ravaging the west.

At this moment, whether it is an ordinary guard, or a county lieutenant, or His Royal Highness Prince Zhang Qianjian, the county magistrate, no one is not nervous.

Because everyone has great hopes for the pit ten miles ahead, and those monsters that crawled out of the West Sea are the first time they have encountered it, and their hearts are always bottomless.

If this is the first success, then it will naturally be able to greatly boost the morale of your own side, which is called how not to be nervous by Lieutenant Tong and Zhang Xianling.

The closer he got, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince exhausted his eyes and stared straight ahead, and the dense and countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals stepped on the huge pit more and more.

As they had expected, with the intelligence of these monsters alone, it was obvious that they could not see the strangeness of this trapped land.

The pit was half-filled by the shrimp soldiers and crabs, and the plank was still in good condition, and it didn't seem to show the slightest sign of breaking.

Obviously, it has not yet reached the limit of its bearing, and under the original test, it is indeed a little close, which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has long expected.

But as more and more shrimp soldiers and crabs will step on it, and the wooden board is still unresponsive, and even His Royal Highness the Prince, a master of Xuanyuan, can't see through the soil the situation of the wooden plank below, whether there are cracks, so as most of the surface of the pit is covered, several people's brows furrowed.

The somewhat breathless Wu Zhutou took the lead and said softly: "Now that more than 10,000 shrimp soldiers and crabs have entered the scope of our trap, why don't they fall into it." ”

"Hold your breath, even if it's not enough to withstand the board, it should be soon. Zhang Qianjian glanced at Wu Zhutou and replied, and the rest of the people were like Zhang Qianjian, although their expressions were serious, they were still calm.

However, then the guards on the city wall were in an uproar, just because the pit in front of them was full of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and the soil in a radius of thirty zhang was densely piled up, but the huge wooden planks under the pit had not yet been broken, and even some shrimp soldiers and crabs had stepped out of the scope of the pit!

In this case, even Zhang Qianjian and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to be a little anxious, if this trap did not play its due role, then these monsters would be ten miles away from them in an instant, and this tough battle would come in advance.

And it will also have a huge impact on morale, and now Zhang Xianling regrets letting the soldiers defending the city know about the trap.

But since some things have happened, they have to deal with it quickly, Zhang Qianjian immediately said loudly: "Tong County Lieutenant ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang erupt in front of him, and a huge amount of smoke and dust began to spread in the sky with the sound, blocking everyone's view.

When the dust fell, I saw a deep pit with a circle of thirty zhang appearing out of thin air, and the entire army of nearly 200,000 shrimp soldiers and crabs was cut off from the front, and a huge blank space appeared!
