Chapter 322: Stone Fortress
When Ye Chuan and the others were discussing countermeasures in the Cloud and Mist Palace, Li Guanghan, the prince of Great Qin, also convened leaders at all levels in the camp to discuss.
After eating a nose of ash, Li Guanghan finally learned to be obedient, knowing that Ye Chuan was no longer the Ye Chuan of the past, and it was becoming more and more difficult to deal with. This time, he learned his lesson and listened to the construction of the extermination Daoist, and he had to take it step by step, starting from Pingyuan Ancient Town and gradually advancing, and making full use of his strong forces to advance all the way to the mountain gate of the Cloud Mist Sect and then launch a full-scale attack.
The Great Qin Dynasty's huge war plane quickly began to operate, showing a hideous face.
Soon, the striker began to act, first burning the Pingding Mountain near the ancient town of Pingyuan, not a single sapling was left, and all kinds of vines were burned to the ground. The originally dense jungle was bare all of a sudden, and there was no place to hide around the ancient town. Standing on a high place and looking out, it was clear at a glance what was happening within a dozen miles, cutting off the possibility of a sneak attack by the Cloud Mist Sect.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, the Great Qin Dynasty began to build its first stronghold on the top of Pingdingshan, requisitioned farmers, ploughing cattle and horse-drawn carts within a radius of 100 miles, transported large pieces of stones, and quickly built a strong fortress, stationed thousands of elite soldiers and placed prohibitions to protect them. If you want to attack the camp at the foot of the mountain, you must first pull out this stronghold, and to do this, it will take at least one or two hours with the strength of the Cloud Mist Sect. With this hour or two, there was enough time for the army at the foot of the mountain to react.
With the first stronghold, then there is the second, the third......
According to Li Guanghan's order, the army slowly advanced.
Every step forward must be burned down by a fire, and the scorched earth strategy must be implemented. After burning all the surrounding ten miles, the logistics army quickly rushed up and built stone fortresses one after another. If you can't find stones nearby, you can build a thick earthen wall with clay from local materials, and build a fence with logs with big roots and big roots on the outside to defend it.
For seven consecutive days, the Cloud Mist Sect did not make any movement, perhaps because of the strong forces of the Great Qin Dynasty, or perhaps because of this step-by-step strategy, there was nothing to be done, and the Great Qin Dynasty was allowed to build strongholds one after another.
In the camp, Li Guanghan, the prince of Great Qin, was locked up in his bedroom day and night to drink alcohol, personally reviewing the good news sent back by the soldiers.
Without the invasion and obstruction of the Cloud Mist Sect, the speed of the army's advance was far faster than expected, and it could advance at least dozens of miles every day. But for Li Guanghan, the speed is still too slow, and if it goes on like this, it will take at least a month to advance to the front of the Cloud Mist Sect.
It's been a month, how much preparation is enough for that kid in Ye Chuan? In case that kid sees that the opportunity is not right, and leads his junior brothers and sisters to abandon the Cloud Mist Sect, where can he find someone to go to, how can he take revenge?
Thinking of Ye Chuan, who had let himself run into a wall and eat a gray nose three or four times, Li Guanghan was very depressed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to kill him with his own hands. Now, he was not afraid that he would not be able to destroy the Cloud Mist Sect, he was afraid that Ye Chuan would slip away in advance and flee without a fight. If you are an ordinary person, you are definitely sticking to the sect, and you are reluctant to abandon the ancient sect that has been passed down for millions of years. But Ye Chuan, this kid, there is nothing he can't do, and Li Guanghan is afraid of this.
On the eighth day, just as night fell, a new piece of good news came back, and the fifth stronghold was built along the way, with thousands of elite soldiers stationed.
From the map, the five strongholds were connected in a line, and the arrows began to penetrate deep into the Cloud Mountains. In particular, the fifth stronghold that has just been built is built on the top of a mountain commonly known as the stone mountain by the locals, the mountain is full of rocks, there are cliffs on three sides, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, the front is the plain of a horse and a flat river, and when the weather is clear, you can look at another big mountain dozens of miles away, which provides a strong guarantee for the construction of the next stronghold, and greatly accelerates the speed of advancing forward.
After the news came back, the whole army cheered loudly, and Li Guanghan was also in a good mood and drunk.
However, at this time, the soldiers stationed in the fifth stronghold in Shishan, a hundred miles away, ushered in a sudden bloody battle.
Like the soldiers in the camp of Heping Yuangu Town, the soldiers who had just been stationed in were excited, and in order to celebrate Shun LĂŹ completing the task, I don't know who quietly carried out a jar of sorghum wine full of stamina. No one knew where the wine came from, maybe it was secretly treasured by a certain general, or maybe it was left by the people who built the stronghold, and in the excitement, the soldiers patted open the mud and drank it. At the beginning, the commander in charge of guarding the stronghold still maintained restraint, strictly ordering no more than three drinks per person, but after drinking, no one remembered this ban, including the commander himself, who was drunk by the soldiers.
The stone mountain at night is quiet, only the occasional chirping of unknown insects can be heard.
For a few days, there has been no movement from the Cloud Mist Sect, and it has always been smooth, which made the soldiers relax their vigilance. Especially after drinking, everyone relaxes. In their minds, the strong stone fortress, coupled with the powerful prohibition, was enough to make the people of the Cloud Mist Sect retreat, even if they were forcibly raided, they would not be able to break in at once, and everyone could drink with confidence.
Danger comes when the soldiers are most relaxed.
The first person to notice that something was wrong was a sentry who had just unbuttoned his pants to pee, and suddenly found that the surrounding rocks were a little strange, and he didn't know when he put on a green suit, which looked like a green tarpaulin. After rubbing his eyes, he looked closely, and it was not a tarpaulin, but a piece of vine that was intertwined and connected.
It's not good, it's an enemy attack!
This sentry reacted quickly, and in the battle of Pingdingshan, the soldiers talked about the vines, and the commander above also repeated many times that once the shadow of the vines was found, whether it was originally there or suddenly appeared, they would immediately call the police.
The alert sentry pants didn't bother to pull them up, and he raised the horn to call the police, and suddenly, there seemed to be a fly flying in front of him, and his neck was cold and bloody, and then he fell to the ground and died with a whimper. Before he died, he realized that it was not a fly, but a rare golden cicada, resting on his right arm. The little cocks are still exposed, but the people are already out of breath.
With a successful blow, the six-winged golden cicada flapped its wings and left, looking for the next target.
At the same time, a rustling sound slowly sounded, and more and more vines climbed the strange rocky mountain, encircling the fortress on the top of the mountain. Halfway up the mountainside, beyond the heavy vines, there was a large group of Cloud Mist Sect disciples who were ready to go, all dressed in white uniforms, holding sharp long swords, and stepping on flying swords, waiting for the arrival of the last moment under the leadership of Zhu Sijia.
At the foot of the mountain, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground, and the seven heaven-swallowing talismans in his body suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a flying sword, and the sharp dragon-slaying flying sword turned into a flash of red light and soared straight into the sky, flying up to the top of the mountain to break the prohibition inside and outside the fortress. The old demon of Yin Mountain, who had been waiting for a long time, laughed, and countless vines surged towards the stone fortress like waves, and behind the sea of vines, there were a large group of elites of the Cloud Mist Sect who stepped on the flying sword and roared up.
