Chapter 179: The Battle of Blackwood Cliff
When it was already dark, Li Feng and his party entered the realm of Blackwood Cliff.
He asked others to escort the merchants back to the cottage first, but he took fifty ironclad rhino knights to Raven Mountain, with the strength of the ironclad rhino, fifty people were enough to sweep the Raven Mountain group of bandits, on the way he even made a detailed plan in advance, but when he arrived at the place, he found that Raven Mountain was in a mess, and it seemed that it had been broken by someone at least a month ago.
Li Feng felt unhappy, and led the team to take a detour and rushed to the cottage where he intercepted Hu last time, but to his surprise, this cottage was actually copied from the bottom up, except for the rotting corpses all over the ground, there was nothing else.
Li Feng felt that something was wrong, he thought for a moment, and immediately led the team to a small cottage not far away.
Sure enough, this cottage is also empty, and there are traces of being attacked everywhere.
Li Feng immediately led the people back, and caught up with the people who were moving slowly because they were carrying too many things on the way.
Li Feng briefly explained the situation, and then he didn't say a word, and hurried away.
The thick doubts were passed in the eyes of everyone, I don't know how these cottages could be broken unconsciously, although the scale of these cottages is not large, but these cottages are not too far from the Black Wood Cliff, and suddenly they were breached, which naturally made the people of the Black Wood Cliff have a sense of crisis.
Rushing all the way to the Black Wood Cliff in silence, when passing through the coniferous pine forest under the cliff, Li Feng suddenly stopped the team with a surprised face, listened to it for a long time, his face changed slightly, and he shouted in a low voice: "From now on, everyone should not speak, and try to reduce the movement when traveling, there may be a situation in the Black Wood Cliff." ”
Everyone was shocked, and only in the afternoon did they find out that the three nearby cottages had been breached, and when they were suspicious, they suddenly heard that there was a situation in the Black Wood Cliff, which could not help but make everyone have some bad associations.
Fortunately, there were only a few miles left from the Black Wood Cliff here, and Li Feng left ten people to guard the merchants, and led the rest of the people to speed towards the cottage.
……
"Is the boss of Blackwood Cliffs here? Gregory, the fifth deputy commander under the Razor Mountain Nicholas Grand Commander, came with the Grand Commander's order to sincerely invite Blackwood Cliff to join. A loud and breathy voice shouted from under the cliff.
Ferdinand stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, a little anxious in his heart, the fire under the mountain was dotted together, it seemed that there were more than 3,000 people, with dozens of people in the cottage, even if he relied on the location, I am afraid he would not be able to last long, the big boss had already set off early in the morning, and he didn't know when he would be able to rush back.
"I'm Ferdinand, the second master of the Black Wood Cliff Cottage, I'm sorry, the big boss has something to do now, it's inconvenient to come out to meet, we can't make our own decisions, can the friends of Razor Mountain stay for a while, and wait for us to ask the big boss?" Ferdinand was anxious, but his face did not show it at all, and he tried his best to delay the time and wait for the big boss to return.
"Ferdinand is in charge, you only have one minute to make a decision, our brothers have traveled all day to get here, not to waste time." Gregory's words were full of arrogance, and the high-pitched volume was bounced back by the mountain wall, forming a continuous echo.
Ferdinand frowned, this Gregory is aggressive, and his intention to delay time doesn't seem to work, but a minute can be delayed, Ferdinand's nonsense comes as soon as he opens his mouth, "Can you grace some time?" You have to give me some time to inform our boss, right? ”
Gregory laughed and said, "This is your question, in a minute, I will hear the answer, I have come with the sincerity of Grand Commander Nikolai, but if you are not interested, then be prepared to bear the wrath of the Archon." ”
Ferdinand saw that this Gregory was so arrogant, and knew that it was impossible to delay time, so he stopped talking.
Only half a minute had passed, and Gregory was already arrogantly shouting again: "Have you thought about it?" Does Blackwood Cliff return to Razor Mountain? ”
Ferdinand's eyes flickered, and he didn't care about the half minute with Gregory, and said loudly: "Even if you want to return to Razor Mountain, you have to come forward with the big boss, I'll go and call the big boss for you." ”
Gregory's smile became more and more arrogant, "Give you three minutes, if you don't see anyone, I'm going to give the order to attack the mountain." ”
Ferdinand retreated a short distance from the edge of the cliff, not far away, and waited until Gregory's impatient urging voice came from below, before he reappeared, rushing down, "Can you give you another ten minutes?" The big boss will be here soon. ”
Gregory shouted angrily, "If you don't see anyone in a minute, you start attacking the mountain." ”
He had already begun to feel that Ferdinand was stalling for time, and although in his mind, Ferdinand's procrastination was of little use, but Gregory could not bear to be fooled.
In less than a minute, Gregory said impatiently, "Is anyone coming?" ”
Ferdinand said repeatedly: "Soon, soon, you are waiting." ”
Gregory exclaimed, "Are you entertaining me? Brothers, don't wait, attack. ”
The torches began to spread towards the corridor, and Ferdinand was not discouraged when he saw that the delay was ineffective, and the worry in his heart did not show any concern, and calmly ordered: "Trebuchet, fire." ”
He didn't wait until the people below were halfway up the mountain to order an attack, last time he was trying to kill and injure as much as possible, but this time he couldn't be so calm, the number of the other party was too large, and the strength of the cottage was seriously insufficient, so he had to keep the enemy at the bottom of the mountain as much as possible to ensure the safety of the cottage.
The torches below were still some distance from the cliff, and if there were no trebuchets, it would be impossible to hit them by throwing stones by manpower, and the other party had obviously calculated the distance.
But unfortunately, the range of the trebuchet was far beyond their expectations, and it was condescending, and the range was even more amazing, a rain of stones fell down, and there was a sudden chaos below, and the torches were immediately extinguished, and the screams were endless.
However, there are too many opponents, and there is a large dodge space below, and after killing many people by surprise, the trebuchet has only deterrent power left for people in the distance.
The torches were still firmly moving towards the road, and soon there were already torches dotted on the road, spreading upwards like a fire dragon.
Li Feng set up a lot of mechanisms on the road, and from time to time someone let out a miserable scream, and then the torch went out, and after a while, the screaming suddenly stopped, obviously burping.
Often there seems to be nothing unusual on the road, as soon as the foot is stepped on, a few cold arrows are immediately shot from the vicinity, and it is impossible to prevent it in the dark, and when you see the direction of the arrow clearly, it is too late to dodge, only to be pierced into a hedgehog.
Sometimes if you walk too close to the mountain wall, you will accidentally bump into it, and maybe a sharpened wooden spear will suddenly pop out of the ground and explode people's chrysanthemums.
The people who carried torches up the road were extremely careful with every step, and to add insult to injury, they had to dodge countless stones falling from the sky.
The range of the trebuchet is very long, but it is a little powerless against the nearby road, so everyone on the top of the mountain does it themselves, carrying stones and throwing them onto the road.
The screams on the road became more and more intense, and more and more torches were extinguished, either by stones or by the endless mechanism that had been killed, and in just a moment, at least a third of the torches had been extinguished.
Gregory gritted his teeth and looked up at the top of the cliff, such a large casualty was something he didn't expect, but there were many of his people, and at the sound of an order, hundreds of torches spread towards the road.
Ferdinand's face was still calm, and his composure made the somewhat flustered crowd settle down immediately, "Keep projecting stones, as long as you hold on for a while, the big boss should be back soon." ”
The spirits of everyone on the edge of the cliff lifted, and the three words of the big boss seemed to have infinite magic, which swept away everyone's panic.
Although there were more than 3,000 people below, the people believed that as soon as the big boss arrived, the enemy would be wiped out immediately, and their confidence in the big boss was extremely strong.
The torches are still slowly but firmly spreading upward, constantly extinguishing torches, constantly surging up with torches, and the torches rushing to the front are already less than thirty meters from the top of the cliff.
Ferdinand no longer gave orders, and he followed his men and began to throw stones, resisting the enemy thirty meters from the top of the cliff.
Even the person who operated the trebuchet had already run over to deal with the enemy on the road, and if even one enemy rushed to the top of the cliff, the defense of the Blackwood Cliff would immediately appear fatally flawed, and everyone knew this, so they didn't dare to relax a little.
However, there were too many enemies, and just after repulsing a batch, another group immediately rushed up and continued to advance towards the top of the cliff.
The nearest enemy on the road was already less than ten meters from the top of the cliff, and was speeding upward, and under the light of the fire, he could already see the appearance of the person who came, Ferdinand suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Hold the road to death, and no one can rush up." ”
Qiang Qiang, a piercing sound from the sheath of the blade, dozens of people surrounded the narrow Yongdao crossing, under the light of the fire, the sword blade flashed with a cold light, everyone's face showed a fierce look, at this time cowardice can only die faster, people can always become more bloody in a desperate situation, and after Li Feng's two months of ravage, these people have long been reborn, they used to be just minions who did not enter the stream, but now they are a group of outlaw bandits.
Dozens of people unexpectedly burst out with an unshakable momentum like a mountain, and a tragic atmosphere echoed in the cold wind on the top of the cliff.
They are no longer like robbers, more like valiant warriors guarding their homeland, in fact, they are also fighting to protect their homeland, but their homeland is a den of robbers.
The enemy who was approaching the top of the cliff was obviously stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he was shocked by the tragic momentum of these people in front of him, or because he was dazzled by Sen Han's sword blade.
On the narrow road, four or five people rushed to the top of the cliff at the same time, sneering, dull weapons entered the body, blood was thrown, flesh and blood were flying, and the battle entered the white heat at the moment of the outbreak.
Gregory could barely see the fierce battle on the top of the cliff by the light of the fire on the top of the cliff, his fists clenched involuntarily, he took a deep breath, and was about to order people to continue to attack the top of the cliff, but suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground, just a few breaths, the tremor became more and more intense, and at the same time a rumbling sound came from behind him.
Gregory turned around and looked at it for a moment, and his face immediately showed a look of horror.
