Cai's army had 20,000 men when it set out, more than 3,000 dead and wounded during the siege, and another 3,000 or 4,000 killed and wounded when Li Yunyi's army attacked. Because he was afraid of a surprise attack by the Jingcheng army, the wounded sergeants simply bandaged and all came to the foot of Yujing Mountain, and there were about 12,000 troops in the army, and there were two or three thousand wounded, so there was no way to fight.

It was already afternoon when he arrived at Yujingshan, and Zhou Hai asked the army to camp and settle the wounded. After a brief rest, I was ready to attack the mountain overnight.

Originally, Zhou Hai wanted to rest for one night, but Cai Min disagreed, time was pressing, and Jingcheng would be defeated one day earlier, and there would be fewer soldiers on the Black Rock City side. Cai Min is a stubborn person, and he doesn't think there is any difference between attacking mountains during the day and attacking them at night.

Originally, Cai Min meant, he directly led the team to kill, but after Zhou Hai asked the scouts to investigate, he decided to be cautious and first send two or three thousand troops to attack tentatively and explore the way.

The scout found that the only road up the mountain was blocked by an earthen wall, these earthen walls were three meters high and three meters wide, if it was usual, Zhou Hai would definitely think that the master of Jing Guo who built the wall would be an idiot, this kind of earthen wall is not very useful, just dig and break it all the way.

Now it's different!

Because of the urgency of the military situation, they did not have so much time to dig up the earthen walls, and they did not have the tools to dig the walls. If the sergeants were allowed to use their weapons to chisel open, it would take a day to cut through so many earthen walls, unless Cai Min was allowed to use Grandmaster Gang Qi to blast open one earthen wall after another. But Cai Min was already injured and his status was noble, how could he let him do this?

Three meters tall is not particularly high, and warriors of the third and fourth grades can leap up, and ordinary sergeants can climb over each other by holding each other's handles, so this earthen wall seems to be useless. However, the strange appearance of this blood wolf cavalry, as well as the strong combat power of the Shaking Mountain Battalion, made Zhou Hai have some scruples, and he didn't dare to press the whole army directly, nor did he dare to let Cai Min lead the strong to kill directly.

Cai Min is the deterrent of force in the whole army, and he is the biggest weapon of killing. I didn't figure out the situation, what if I was overshadowed by the enemy? The Great Grandmaster was not a truly invincible existence, thousands of soldiers and a group of Nine Rank powerhouses could easily consume the Great Grandmaster to death, not to mention that Cai Min was also injured.

He sent a general on the ninth rank to lead the team, and began to attack the mountain with three thousand sergeants. In addition, let a few seven- or eight-rank martial artists act as scouts, and follow them from the cliffs on both sides to find out if there are ambushes and arrangements.

Three thousand sergeants, with a large number of ladders, began to climb the wall and go up the mountain. They easily crossed the first earthen wall, and they found no arrangement other than the earthen wall. They did not stop, continued to advance, all the way over the eight earthen walls, but found nothing unusual, but on the top of the mountain saw a lot of sergeants, but the mountain road did not feel arranged.

"Signal!"

Zhou Hai thought about it for a while, and asked the three thousand troops in front of him to slow down, and he mobilized another five thousand troops to go up the mountain, so that they could take care of each other. He was a little confused, what is the point of the lord of the mountain arranging it like this? The earthen walls make it difficult for them to go up the mountain, and it will also make it difficult for the army on the mountain to go down, except for blocking their speed up the mountain, these earthen walls don't feel like they have much effect.

Half an hour later, the sky gradually darkened, and the forward 3,000 troops had climbed over 17 earthen walls, and the 5,000 troops behind had climbed over thirteen earthen walls. The seven or eight-rank powerhouses accompanying them on both sides did not find any ambushes and arrangements.

Zhou Hai decided not to wait, he walked into the camp tent and said to Cai Min, who was healing his wounds, "His Royal Highness King Min, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

Cai Min's eyes opened and he got up suddenly, he had been waiting impatiently, and he blamed Zhou Hai for being too cautious. He wanted to take off directly to catch up with the army in front, but Zhou Hai bowed down and said: "Your Highness, your status is noble, you can press the formation in the back, you must not be impulsive." Be careful of deception, it is better to follow the action of the army, and do not rush to kill alone. ”

"Got it!"

Cai Min replied impatiently and led four thousand troops to rush forward. If it weren't for Zhou Hai's confession, according to his temperament, he would rush directly to the top of the mountain alone and kill the enemy commander. The enemy army is leaderless, and the army here rushes up, isn't this battle over? Jingguo only has three grandmasters, one is unknown in life and death, and two are in Black Rock City, can you still conjure up a grandmaster out of thin air here?

There were many troops on the hill, all of them standing silently, without torches. Xiong Jun and Long Fall stood on both sides of the chariot, Xiao Anzi sat in the driver's seat of the chariot, the Shenbow battalion all wore gloves, and the wooden arrow box behind it was opened. Through the hazy night, Li Yunyi on the chariot looked expressionlessly at the army that was constantly advancing in the mountain road below, and his cold eyes were like a hungry wolf watching its prey approach.

"It's almost!" Li Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Arrange for someone to send the mother concubine and them to the palace in the back of the royal tomb for temporary shelter." ”

"Whoa!"

Xiong Jun waved his hand, and a general rushed away, and soon Ning Cairen and the crown princess Li Chen were taken away, and Chunya Okra Jiang Xiaocicada and Su Yunyi also went to the royal tomb. Li Yunyi waved his hand again and said: "Let those miscellaneous armies scatter and lurk around, there will be a big battle in this open space, and whoever gets close will be at their own risk." ”

Xiong Jun hurriedly arranged that more than 10,000 miscellaneous troops, except for those left behind by Li Yunyi, all fled into the distance. Only the Blood Wolf Camp and the Divine Bow Camp were left in this clearing, as well as Lin Jian and dozens of selected special sergeants.

Li Yunyi glanced down again, and he said, "Let's start, light the wooden pile." ”

There were many piles of wood in the open space to the left of Li Yunyi, bundles after bundles, all of which had been cut down before, and the most piles of wood in the middle were the most, with hundreds of them. Li Yunyi gave an order, Xiong Jun sent someone to light a fire, and the pile of wood in the middle suddenly ignited a raging fire. This timber was only cut yesterday, and it was all wet wood, and it was able to ignite a fire so quickly because it was poured with oil and mineral powder. However, because it was wet wood, thick smoke billowed and half of the sky was obscured.

"Take your medicine!"

Li Yunyi let out a deep sigh, and all the sergeants left behind swallowed a small beige pill. Li Yunyi glanced at Lin Jian and said, "The catapult is ready, and the thirteenth earthen wall is targeted." ”

Ten catapults, which had been assembled long ago, began to adjust their angles, and instead of boulders or iron blocks, the trebuchets were loaded with bundles of wood, most importantly sprinkled with special mineral powder and oil.

The sudden fire and smoke on the mountain attracted the attention of the following, and Zhou Hai's eyelids jumped, as if something bad was happening. He glanced at a few times and said to a nine-rank martial artist beside him: "You go up and tell King Min, if the situation is not right, don't be reckless, protect our sergeant and withdraw before talking." ”

"Whoa!"

The strong man hurriedly galloped away, he was very fast, the three-meter-high earthen wall was completely stress-free for him, he easily leaped up, and ran all the way to the top. However, as he climbed over seven or eight earthen walls, his body suddenly stopped, and he suddenly looked in the direction of the top of the mountain.

"Woohoo!"

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and then huge black things fell downward, obviously the sound of a trebuchet dropping a bomb, but what was this trebuchet throwing? How did it look like a bundle of wood?

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The trebuchet was not accurate enough, and only five or six of the ten bundles of wood were smashed into the mountain path, and the rest were missed. The five or six bundles of wood were fine, and they were all smashed near the mountain road around the thirteenth or fourteenth earthen walls.

The sound of trebuchets was no stranger to the sergeants, and the army going up the mountain was in a commotion, many of them raised their shields, and some of them hid behind earthen walls. However, they all relaxed when the trebuchet was finished, and some of the sergeants laughed shamefully, this trebuchet is too inaccurate, right?

The three-way army, the first 3,000 have climbed over 20 earthen walls, the middle army has climbed over 16 earthen walls, and the army led by Cai Min at the back is still climbing over the ninth wall. In other words, all ten trebuchets were smashed into the air, and not a single sergeant was hit...

"Go on!"

Li Yunyi was very satisfied with the accuracy of the trebuchet, and he let out a deep sigh, and the sergeants of the Shaking Mountain Battalion had been ordered early to quickly carry the bundles of timber over. Ten trebuchets fired in succession, and another ten bundles of timber whizzed away, and this time with a little luck, seven bundles fell into the mountain path, which was about thirteen or fourteen walls of earth.

"Divine crossbow, ignition!"

Li Yunyi roared deeply, and the crossbow arrows soaked in fire oil on the ten divine machine crossbows were ignited, and then ten crossbow arrows flew out, and the accuracy of the divine machine crossbow was very good, and it easily shot on the thirteenth and fourteenth earthen walls.

"Boom!"

The rockets of the crossbow ignited the bundles of wood that had fallen, and the wood was poured with oil and sprinkled with flammable mineral powder, and all the wood was on fire, and the smoke was billowing and obscuring the sky and the moon.

"Not good!"

Seeing that the mountain road was on fire, Zhou Hai below and Cai Min halfway all changed their complexions. At this moment, Zhou Hai finally understood what these earthen walls were for? These earthen walls were the railings of the pigsty, enclosing their army inside like livestock, and then setting fire to all of them.

There is only one way down the mountain from Yujing Mountain, and it is not difficult for the five or six masters to escape from the cliff. But how many of the five or six masters in the army can there be? Most of them are ordinary sergeants, and these sergeants can just fly off the cliff and escape? If they dare to do this, all of them will fall to their deaths.

"That's not right......"

Zhou Hai suddenly thought of a question, this mountain road is so steep and rugged, if it is attacked with fire, it doesn't matter much if it is practical and does not use an earthen wall. Directly use a trebuchet to block the front and rear roads, as long as the front and rear roads are on fire, you can easily burn the army, there is no need to make it so troublesome.

"It's not good—"

Zhou Hai came to his senses in an instant, and he and another nine-rank powerhouse beside him shouted: "Hurry up and let King Min retreat, their real intention is to trap King Min!"

"Whew!"

As soon as he shouted his words, a powerful aura spread halfway up the mountain, and then a figure rose into the sky like an angry dragon, shooting straight to the top of the mountain.
