Chapter 778

Commander Zhuang didn't speak, but kept waving the long knife in his hand, blocking all the black iron arrows that burst in.

Xiao Zhan also knew that now was not the time for small talk.

While he made a move to bombard those black arrows, he said to Li Yong behind him:

"Li Yong, you withdraw first!"

Li Yong knew that his strength would not only not help, but would also become a burden, so he did not hesitate, turned around and rushed into the tiger's mouth as fast as he could.

Xiao Zhan and Commander Zhuang resisted and retreated.

In the line of sight of the two, about a kilometer away, a group of soldiers in dark red armor were rushing at full speed.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Zhan let out a low roar, then turned around and rushed into the tiger's mouth.

Commander Zhuang also immediately turned around and retreated.

The soldiers on the opposite side rushed to the mouth of the tiger, and seeing that the 50,000 soldiers were rapidly approaching, they did not hesitate, turned around and ran away.

Soon, the 50,000 elites under Commander Zhuang arrived.

Xiao Zhan glanced at Commander Zhuang and saw that she was not seriously injured, but that her right arm was rubbed out by an arrow and a bloody wound, which was not deep, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment, looked at Commander Zhuang and said:

"I observed just now, the width of the tiger's mouth is more than a hundred meters."

"If a large army really comes, it can pass through tens of thousands of people in an instant."

"The other party is not attacking now, probably because they think that there is an ambush on our side, but when the other party finds out the situation on our side, they will definitely rush through the tiger's mouth immediately."

Commander Zhuang didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Zhan calmly.

Li Yong frowned and asked:

"Big brother, is it okay to build a city wall and plug this opening?"

"It's too late," Xiao Zhan said truthfully, "With such a big opening, the city wall must be at least ten meters thick and a hundred meters high, even if all 50,000 people are used to build the city wall, it will take at least a year to complete."

"And I've seen it just now, there's a lot of rubble on the ground at the Tiger's Mouth, and it's clear that the walls were built before, but they've been destroyed."

As he spoke, a fierce cold wind blew from the tiger's mouth, and even Xiao Zhan felt a little unable to stand.

"And the tiger's mouth is a big wind outlet, and from time to time there will be a gust of wind, and hundreds of catties of stones can be blown away, and ordinary city walls can't resist it at all."

Li Yong's brows tightened, "What should I do then?"

"The 50,000 soldiers brought by Xie Jing are all dead, so the other party has at least 100,000 people before they can be crushed strongly."

"If those 100,000 people attack immediately, our 50,000 people, even if they resist, will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, but looked at the tiger's mouth again.

The Marquis of Pingxi said that Xiao Zhan was sent here not to win the battle, but to delay time and block King Kurosawa's army.

If the army attacks, it will be overwhelming and difficult to stop after rushing into the tiger's mouth.

After a while, Xiao Zhan had an idea.

He can build no walls, but he can build some obstacles at the tiger's mouth to slow down the enemy's attack, and then establish positions on both sides of the tiger's mouth, condescendingly, and attack from a distance with arrows.

The longer it takes for an enemy to pass through the Tiger's Mouth, the greater the chance of damage.

This is equivalent to invisibly shrinking the tiger's mouth.

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan planned to build a labyrinth on the inside of the tiger's mouth.

Soon, Xiao Zhan drew a figure on the ground and said to Zhuang Tong:

"Commander Zhuang, immediately let your 50,000 men build a labyrinth according to the figure I drew."

Commander Zhuang didn't talk nonsense and ordered directly.

Then I saw all 50,000 people move, carry the stones as fast as they can, and start building the labyrinth.

What Xiao Zhan has to do is to observe the movements on the side of the tiger's mouth before the construction of the maze is completed, and beware of the enemy attacking at this time.

It's a pity that what I'm afraid of will come

What.

A team of about a thousand people quietly approached the tiger's mouth.

Xiao Zhan immediately waved at Commander Zhuang.

Commander Zhuang immediately rushed to the mouth of the tiger with tens of thousands of people.

The enemy retreated in an instant.

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but start speculating.

The enemy has not yet attacked in a big way, and it is very likely that King Kurosawa's army has not yet been assembled.

Opposite the mouth of the tiger is the territory of the Northern Desert Marquis.

If King Kurosawa's army is not there, it is absolutely impossible for the Marquis of Northern Desert to send all his soldiers to attack the tiger's mouth.

That is, he still has time to arrange in the mouth of the tiger.

But no matter how it was arranged, 50,000 defenders were still too few.

After all, no one expected that the 50,000 government troops brought by Xie Jing would die so quickly, and even Xie Jing didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Xiao Zhan called Li Yong and said in a deep voice:

"You leave now and return to the Pingxi Marquis's mansion, tell the Pingxi Marquis about the situation here, and let the Pingxi Marquis send at least 100,000 more people, and also carry as many bows and arrows as possible."

Li Yong nodded, and immediately turned to leave.

Little by little, time passed.

Fifty thousand people built the labyrinth at a fast pace.

Xiao Zhan demanded that the height of the labyrinth should reach at least thirty meters, so that ordinary soldiers could not cross it at all, and only people above the Youhu Realm could barely pass through.

Inside the tiger's mouth, a dazzling labyrinth soon appeared.

However, less than a tenth of the construction has been completed, and the reinforcement will continue.

And the positions on the peaks on both sides will also be transformed.

Fortunately, the peaks on both sides are high enough and steep enough to be intimidating to most enemies.

The enemy is still probing.

From 2,000, 5,000 at the beginning, to 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 at the back.

When the 50,000 enemy troops tried to pass through the tiger's mouth, Commander Zhuang immediately rushed over with 50,000 elites, and after a short battle, the opponent left behind hundreds of corpses, and then quickly retreated.

Xiao Zhan asked Commander Zhuang to give an order, not to pursue!

And after repeated temptations, the other party also knew that Xiao Zhan only had 50,000 soldiers on his side.

Xiao Zhan also knew that there were 150,000 on the other side, and they were stationed on the other side of the tiger's mouth, probably less than ten miles. Z.br>

And the fact that the other party still did not choose to attack the tiger's mouth despite the superiority of troops, which confirmed Xiao Zhan's previous guess, that is, King Kurosawa's army had not yet arrived, or King Kurosawa did not intend to let the army attack from here.

In short, the fortifications that should be done still have to be done.

About half a month later, the maze has been built.

Xiao Zhan asked Commander Zhuang to take 50,000 soldiers and pretend to be an enemy into the labyrinth.

The effect is very significant, and the huge tiger's mouth is divided into hundreds of entrances.

Each entrance is a different route.

When you enter the labyrinth, you can only see the gray sky when you look up, and you are completely oblivious to the situation around you.

At least after Commander Zhuang rushed into the labyrinth with 50,000 people, he was immediately dispersed into hundreds of teams, and after nearly two hours of wandering through the labyrinth, a total of less than 100 people successfully walked out of the labyrinth.

The effect is significant.
