Officers such as Monton and Norton, who had just fallen asleep, were alerted by the emergency horn sounded in the southeast corner.

After a few breaths, the panicked sound of horses' hooves sounded in the middle of the camp: "The lower official asks to see the commander of Monton, and there is something important to report!"

"What's the matter?" Monton hurriedly walked out without even getting dressed neatly, and under the torches, there were all white-armored papal soldiers in front of him.

"General, we have found several soldiers of the Chi Aotian Legion in the lower reaches of the Sicilian River! According to the interrogation, they are crossing the river!" the faces of the junior officers of the Holy See continued to flash with panic.

Most of the officers had shocked looks on their faces, especially Norton, who had experienced the Battle of Sealin. How is it possible?

"Have they started to freeze the river?" Norton subconsciously looked into the distance, it was rare to have a moon tonight, not a clear sky, but there were certainly no clouds of rain and snow.

"General, they didn't cast magic. Fortunately, although this low-ranking human officer was very flustered, he was still articulate: "The most captured soldier is only a chief, and they didn't make it clear, as if they were tied with ropes, and they crossed the river." ”

All the senior officers looked at each other.

"Lord Monton, I will immediately lead my headquarters to attack the enemy and see how they react. Norton reacted immediately.

"Okay, you don't need to bring your troops, you just take the two thousand people on duty. Assemble the whole army at once!" Monton's face tightened, and at this time, he had to prepare in advance.

Norton led the human spearmen and centaur archers on duty just 200 meters before entering the dense forest, when a series of crossbow strings suddenly sounded in the dense forest, and large crossbows with thick arms roared through the air, and the soldiers were shot down one by one, and the soldiers inside shot out frantically, as if they did not spare this precious war resource at all.

Immediately after, flames suddenly jumped everywhere in the dense forest, and just when the Fanos Legion was stunned, all the canopies occupied by Chi Aotian on the periphery of the dense forest were all set on fire, and countless flames quickly connected into a sea of fire...... Jump and light up the whole sky!

Not only Norton, but all the officers in the Fanos barracks in the distance were stunned by the strange scene in front of them.

Yes, it's all arranged!

At the same time, Chi Aotian and Ta Yang chose the area around the ox waist as the breakthrough point to cross the river. According to the records, the Sicilian River is 20 miles before and after entering the ox waist, and the water is relatively not too fast, and the information also indicates that dense shrubs grow along the Sicilian River.

Considering that as soon as the expeditionary force breaks through to the north, then the enemy will inevitably rush to catch up. Normally, the Norton Legion would definitely use this opportunity to kill the killers! Ta Yang immediately hinted that the allies could be sacrificed to cover the Black Dragon Knights crossing the river, and this idea was vetoed by all the officers, including Chi Aotian.

Without any objections from other officers, Chi Aotian only said one sentence: "Mr. Tayan, no matter what the combat strength of the Allied forces is, and there is no need to talk about their origins, it is impossible for me to let my subordinates go to death." There is no need to talk about this matter. ”

Fortunately, there is no only way. Several high-ranking officers of the Black Dragon Knights almost simultaneously mentioned a way to quickly cross the river - rope crossing!

Tongyunguan is located at the junction of subtropics and tropics, and the rainfall in Tongyunguan area is quite abundant, especially in the rainy season, many small ravines and ravines usually have no water, and they have become turbulent rivers in the rainy season. This kind of thing will definitely happen to the soldiers when they are on duty. In case of emergency, the soldiers in southern Xinjiang will use the method of rope crossing.

This approach requires at least three people in a group. The rope needs to be three times the width of the river, first tied into a loop, the first person (must be good at water) on his own semi-fixed rope, the other two stand at a certain distance, the river crosser pulls the rope and enters the water from the downstream partner, the upstream partner begins to retract the rope, and the downstream begins to cycle the rope. Under the impact of the river, the river crosser will soon be swept into the middle of the river, and the river crosser must swim to the opposite bank as best he can—and of course the river will push him to the shore. Under normal circumstances, if there are no wooden rows and stumps in the river, it is easy to cross the river; after the first person passes, it is simple, and the two people on both sides of the river can easily send the second person over; the third person is even simpler, tie the rope, and with a little force on the other bank, as long as you pull it past the center of the river, the river will wash the person to the bank.

This approach was immediately elaborated by the senior officers.

Everything after that, in short, is "acting"!

In the course of their mad run, the expeditionary force sent the Vulture Knights in advance to find the most ideal place to cross the Sicilian River - there must be a large dense forest, which can last for several days, and it is better to have open space around the dense forest, so as not to deal with the enemy who is also in the dense forest. It is too easy for the forest elves to accomplish this task, and it is indeed not easy to find such a place, but with the ability of the forest elves, it is not difficult to make the excess dozens or hundreds of shrubs disappear. Even, taking advantage of this opportunity, Chang Qing also took his subordinates to disguise themselves as businessmen and went to the ox waist array to buy a large amount of rope.

The two bloody battles with the Norton Legion and the Sweat and Blood Mercenary Regiment were also a matter of necessity, and it was necessary to create a feeling that the Northern Expeditionary Army was in a trapped beast land, so that the opponent could either rest assured that he could arrange a decisive battle or wait for the expeditionary army to run out of food.

As for grabbing the ferry, it was also acting, this ferry was not given for nothing, it was burned, and it saved the Phanos legions - in fact, about a month and a half before, the three legions led by Monton went deep into the hinterland of the Huayu Plain through the ferry.

After that, any late-night sneak attacks and so on, all in order to paralyze the enemy.

In this process, Chang Qing still had a very clever play on the spot - he found that after the trees were cut down, and then the trunks were cut down, then the canopy would soon dry up, and if so, once the enemy found out that the Northern Expeditionary Army was crossing the river, he could immediately set fire to all the canopies and cut off the enemy's pursuit route.

On January 18, it was just dark, Qingluo took the elves to hang the first 3,000-meter-long rope across the river, and the long rope and the river were tied to the two thickest trees at a 60° angle, and then, using this long rope as the foundation, in just one hour, all 100 long ropes were let go of the river, and all were tied at a 60° angle.

All the soldiers have prepared a wooden block 30 centimeters wide, 15 centimeters high, and 40 centimeters long for these days - to dry or bake as much as possible. He tied this piece of wood to his back, and then tied a live rope under his two ribs to the rope on the river, and pushed the man into the river, and the turbulent river carried the person downstream, and the speed was extremely fast, and it did not take a few minutes to reach the opposite bank -- and immediately cut the live rope under the ribs.

War horses, earth walking dragons, etc., were also released in the same way - of course, the mounts were heavier and needed to be put together with two ropes. Fortunately, most of the war horses know how to water, except for the fact that they don't cooperate much when they go ashore, and there is not much trouble.

And the sound of the rushing river drowned out all the neighing of the horses.

Originally, if there was no accident, even if the Chi Aotian Legion crossed everyone, the Phanos Legion would not have been able to detect anything. Pity...... Not all rope producers are ISO9000 certified, and less than half of the 100 ropes crossed the river before three or four of them broke. One or two hundred people who were crossing the river were swept down.

Chi Aotian immediately asked the captain in charge of crossing the river to use the ropes together, using three ropes for the horses and two ropes for the people. The Vulture Swordsman Battalion of the small mercenary group set fire to the enemy as soon as it discovered the enemy - this was also arranged in advance, anyway, the trees near the inside of the dense forest had already been cut down, and the Vulture Swordsman Battalion was responsible for the final guard, and controlled the fire not to burn to the river, and then crossed the river on its own after dawn.

Monton got Norton's report, and under the many torches, the flower of Phanos's face was red and white, and after taking a few breaths fiercely, he immediately sent the beggar to approach from the bottom with all the centaur archers and shoot arrows into the river. Then he called the 1,000th commander of the Norton Legion and asked him to immediately take all the Norton Legion to assist Norton in attacking inward. Then, Monton turned his face to look at Han Han and the Iron Hand Grand Duke, and bit his lower lip: "Both, I have a reluctant request, the sky is clear tonight, and the bandit army has also lit a fire, on such a night, can the dragon knight rise to the air for a battle?

The two top cadres of the Sweat and Blood Mercenary Regiment did not expect that Monton would force himself into a position where he had to fight in three sentences or two sentences.

The two strongest warriors showed ugly looks at the same time! In the night, it is not difficult to fight with Chi Aotian, even if you add the many phantom beast knights under Chi Aotian, it is not difficult. However, the opponent has a black lightning! His Excellency the Grand Duke can even recall what he said yesterday -- in the night, does anyone dare to fight with the black lightning? Both strong men asked themselves this, and the answer was no! This is out of the category of who is more courageous, and at night, the human brave should never want to compete with the forest elves.

Monton knew that his request was quite excessive, but he had to continue: "For the safety of the two and many phantom beast knights, I don't ask the two to find Chi Aotian and the black lightning to fight, it is difficult for us to keep such a brave man, as long as the two of them go to the river to destroy the enemy's tools that are crossing the river, they can, with the speed of the dragon, this should be very fast, perhaps, the black lightning has not found out the change, and the two dragon knights have already returned victoriously." ”

"Okay!" Grand Duke Myrondia had to nod! When Monton said this, it was already a resounding slap in the face to the two extremely high-ranking heroes on the Battle Spirit List, and the words were almost to the point of being ugly.

The two dragons hadn't left the barracks recently, and they burst through the air as soon as they were summoned.

After a few breaths, Honglan's two huge dragons had already swept to the Sicilian River at a low altitude, and although they were mentally prepared, the two dragon knights were still startled by the scene in front of them!

The Sicilian River, like the dumplings, is full of soldiers crossing the river! Moreover, what is even more shocking is that in the whistling and lapping water, these soldiers who crossed the river actually swam quite fast and quite smoothly, and people on the south bank of the river kept jumping into the water, and people kept coming ashore on the north bank of the river. Almost no one was swept away by the river.

How come there are so many people with good water nature?

However, at this time, there was no need to care so much, the two dragon knights and the six phantom beast knights who were rushing behind rushed towards the center of the river, the two dragons received the order of the dragon knight almost at the same time, the dragon let out a loud roar at the same time, and then, two flames jumped on the Sicilian River......

Immediately after, like a thunderclap sounding on the surface of the river, two large red dragon breath balls instantly shot into the middle of the Sicilian River, and the two giant dragons vibrated their wings and soared straight into the clouds at the moment of the fireball!

The dragon's breath shot into the water more than four meters deep, and the center of the river seemed to be like a landslide and the ground cracked, like a hundred thunderbolts sounding in the ears at the same time, and the river water in the center was vaporized in an instant, and the white steam shot into the sky with the hot river water!

"Bastard!" Chi Aotian had just summoned the dragon on the south bank of the river, when he saw this scene, the young man roared and stepped on the dragon -- unfortunately, the explosion wave from the Sicilian River rushed over, and Chi Aotian was instantly swept to the ground by the air wave like many soldiers! Even the huge dragon was swept into the bush by the air wave! When Chi Aotian climbed up to the dragon again, he saw that there were already nearly a hundred wild vultures in the sky that flapped their wings and shot at the two dragons.

In the big river, countless soldiers, countless war horses, and countless corpses were freed from the broken ropes, or slowly sank into the big river, or were pushed and pushed forward by the roaring river and flowed far ahead! More than 100 long ropes, except for a few upstream, all the others were blown off by flames and air waves, and all the thousands of soldiers in the river were brought into their own realm by death at this moment!

None of the officers of the expeditionary force had ever thought of such an outcome, and the iron-blooded soldiers on both sides of the river kept crying with their mouths cracked, and at this time, everyone realized that the earth-shattering explosion just now made no one hear a single sound in their ears!

A few minutes ago, Qingluo saw the fire on the south bank and realized that Qiangdu had been discovered by the enemy, so he immediately ordered all the forest spirits to rise into the air and divide into two groups to move closer to the other side of the river from the upstream and downstream at the same time, harassing each other and protecting the soldiers in the river.

The explosion shook the unprepared vultures almost from the sky, and the elves immediately controlled the birds of prey with their minds, and looking at the tragic situation in the river, the forest elves all pounced on the dragon knights, and in the night sky, pale green arrow feathers rained down on the two dragons.

Chi Aotian was just about to rise to the sky, Chang Qing ran over from the periphery of the camp and grabbed the deputy head of the regiment, looking at Chang Qing and talking anxiously, but there was a metallic sound in Chi Aotian's ears, and he didn't know what the young man would say.

"The rope is broken a lot, what should I do?" Chang Qing stained the blood on his body and wrote on the white bones of the dragon who was about to leave.

"Find the rope, pick up the broken rope, everyone has to cross the river, one less, but you ask! understand?" Chi Aotian's hand shook suddenly.

"Understood!" Chang Qing left these two blood words and ran towards the river with more than a dozen mercenaries!

Leave the dragon and then rise to the sky!

Merendia and Han Han felt the steam rising from the sky, knowing that they had successfully completed their task, and the two of them led the dragon to prepare to return to the camp, only to find that hundreds of wild vultures were rushing towards them from all directions, and each wild vultures had a murderous forest spirit sitting on it!

Almost at the same moment, short arrow feathers shot at the armor and dragon scales from different directions, sparks flying everywhere!

The two dragon knights gave the command at the same time, and in the night sky, four flame dragons with slightly smaller bodies suddenly appeared, and then, four water dragons jumped out of the water of the Sicilian River, and the eight transformed dragons roared and pounced on the elven knights in the air.

The elves immediately divided some people to circulate in the air, and the other part of them were stubbornly haunted by the two dragons, Red and Blue.

Qingluo took the vulture out of the fight, rose from the south side to the sky, and then turned back sharply, and in a breath, shot all 24 arrows in a quiver, these arrows have been blessed with magic, the green light flashed in the air, the two dragons looked at the light and shadow in front of them shaking, and instantly subconsciously closed their eyes, four or five arrow feathers shot at the dragon from different directions, and the dragon screamed in pain.

At this moment, Chi Aotian stabbed the Grand Duke of the Iron Hand River from below with the dragon that wanted to leave! The water dragon no longer dared to open its eyes, and it was impossible to find the shadow of death that erupted below.

At the moment when the dragon spear was about to penetrate the body of the blue dragon, the natural dragon finally felt the restlessness of the wind elf, the blue giant wings danced wildly, and a series of red light erupted between the dark red dragon spears, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced into the dragon's right thigh, and the dragon quickly dodged, and finally let go of the vital point, the tip of the spear went from deep to shallow, with countless blue scales from the right leg to the right wing, and a blood mouth six or seven meters long spurted blood outward......

The blue dragon shivered in the air in pain, did not dare to stay for a moment, wailed, and flew crookedly south under the protection of the four water dragons.

Merendia was just about to put her body close to the dragon's body, but as a result, a gust of wind blew, and the dragon knight's body was lifted from the dragon's back - Chi Aotian's spear just now was slashing, cutting all three ropes under the dragon's belly, and the dragon knight lost the strength attached to the dragon's back.

Chi Aotian immediately lowered his resignation, put away his spear, pulled out the Xinghan Great Sword, and quickly caught up with the dragon knight who was plummeting in the air, and a white sword light draped down from top to bottom towards the Iron Hand Block. The top ten on the battle soul list, there is absolutely no luck in it, the grand duke looked at the long sword like lightning, he was not in a hurry at all, he retracted his body in the air, and pushed up with all his strength with the square shield in his left hand, and the long sword collided with the shield, emitting a golden light.

To Chi Aotian's surprise, with the huge momentum of the giant dragon, Xinghan didn't even break through the shield!

The Grand Duke let out a long roar, and with the power of this volley, he adjusted his posture and shot into the roaring river quickly.

Qingluo found that the Grand Duke's armor was broken by the splash at the moment when the Grand Duke fell into the water, and the short bow in his hand moved violently, and the short arrow broke off the string and shot into the Grand Duke's waist along the water splash.

Did you shoot it? Qingluo immediately lowered the wild vulture, stretched his bow against the surface of the river and waited, Chi Aotian also drove the roar down, and wanted to leave the dragon's wings and constantly beat the water, and the waves flew in all directions for a while, but ...... In the vast river, there is no longer a Grand Duke who has an iron hand to block the river!

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Qingluo and Chi Aotian falling at the same time, the cold trend red dragon used dragon breath to open the way, and soon broke out of the encirclement and disappeared into the night sky......
