Chapter 178: Sneak Attack in the Fog Forest
The structure of Bear Mountain is dominated by rocks, only a layer of floating soil on the surface, and although there is a layer of vegetation on it, the water contained in it is not abundant, so from the top of Bear Mountain, there are only a few streams with a small amount of water flowing down, but as a violent bear city with a population of more than 200,000 at its peak, there is no shortage of water.
Ten miles east of Ten Thousand Bear City, there is a big river with a width of ten zhang meandering like a silver snake, the surging river is like a calm mirror, on both sides of the river, is a large area of fertile land in Storm Bear City, ten miles away, want to divert water into the holy land, rest on the earth This is not a small project.
But in this other world, everything is possible, the earth spirit master who controls the earth is the strongest architect, in the battle of the great army, the earth spirit master is a big killer, can change the terrain of the battlefield, and even make the tall city wall into a smooth road, the earth spirit master can be regarded as a powerful controller on the battlefield.
In Leng Zhuo's army, the Earth Spirit Division was organized into separate battalions, and each battalion was headed by an Earth Heavenly Spirit Master, assisted by hundreds of Earth Spirit Masters and Earth Array Mages, such a battalion could completely change the battlefield where tens of thousands of people fought.
The three earth battalions were dispatched, and outside the Violent Bear City, the rumbling sound was as incessant as thunder, and I saw that the earth was shaking like a máo blanket, and the earth spirit masters on both sides shot out together, like two big hands, constantly squeezing the earth in the middle.
This is like the movement of the earth's tectonic plates, the formation of the Himalayas, in the rumbling sound, a folded mountain was pulled up out of thin air, reaching a height of more than ten zhang, and then stopped, ten miles of flat earth, just like this, a low mountain beam appeared out of thin air.
Winding like a swimming snake, from the bank of the river to the Storm Bear City, the main body of the mountain rose from the ground in a morning rumble, and then, the forbidden army with swords jumped directly onto the mountain beam, the sword was vigorous, and the mountain was like tofu, and it was cut off piece by piece under the sword.
Since the determination of Longshan Road, although there are golden pangolins and many spirit beasts that are good at fighting dòng as the main force to open the mountain, the widening and leveling of the mountain, and even the construction of the camp in the belly of the mountain are all dug out by the soldiers of the forbidden army with swords on the rocks on both sides.
Such a small mountain beam less than ten miles, only sent less than a thousand people, the sunset has not yet set, this mountain beam canal has begun to take shape, after completion, has been waiting on the bank of the river The water spirit masters waved the spirit soldiers in their hands, the water spirit array mage also picked up the spirit battle, the calm river water suddenly seemed to have a few evil Jiao, rolling the river, one by one the water flow rose to the sky, fell into the canal that seemed to be a cauldron like a storage pool.
It didn't take a moment for the river to fill the small cistern, and it flowed down the winding canal, looking like a silver dragon roaring from mid-air.
The boiling river flowed into the tunnel of the holy place without stopping, and suddenly, thick smoke billowed from above, and flowing water poured into the holy place.
And this day's work is also worth paying off, and a lot of tuyeres for ventilation have been found on Bear Mountain, but as soon as these tuyeres are discovered, they will be blocked.
Time flows by bit by bit, compared to the barbarians of the Holy Land who live like a year, Leng Zhuo is a night of romance, and it is already early in the morning.
"How about it, isn't there any movement in the Holy Land?" Because he was not familiar with the interior of the Holy Land, Leng Zhuo didn't know the situation inside, but this smoke was smoked for a day and night, and it was poured with water overnight, it should have some effect.
"Your Majesty, this holy place in Storm Bear City can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and obviously the interior is not small, so there is no movement yet, but the minister thinks that they will not be able to hold out for two or three days before they have to make a choice!"
Leng Zhuo is also convinced of this, the main body of Xiong Mountain is the main body of mountain rocks and mineral veins, although it is not ruled out that there will be underground rivers and the like under this mountain that are connected to this holy land, but Leng Zhuo has his own way to deal with it, those earth spirit masters are not vegetarians, although not everyone has earth spirit beasts, but there are definitely a lot of them, find groundwater, plug the leakage under the ground, but it is difficult for them.
If the barbarians in this holy place don't want to be smoked to death, or drowned, there is only one way to go.
"Your Majesty, the news sent back by the Southern Road Sun Bin Military Division! Judging from this news, it may be much more difficult than expected to occupy Nanzhu County!"
"Oh!" Leng Zhuo took the letter sent back by Sun Bin and read it quickly, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Nanzhu County, which is considered the southeast border of Shuzhou, is mountainous, forested and bamboo, and ninety percent of the land is in a wild and undeveloped situation, which is very different from the four counties that Leng Zhuo has won at present, Xilin, Xiegu, Hushan, and Xiongshan.
Although the degree of development of these four counties is not high, most of the barbarian tribes in these four counties have started farming, taking into account hunting, this change of transformation has allowed Leng Zhuo to control, and can incorporate these barbarian tribes into the foundation of Dachu, otherwise a group of tribes that can migrate anytime and anywhere, it is almost a fool's dream to control it.
In order to strengthen the control of the tribes, the Tusi in various places also adopted many methods, such as chōu to transfer the warriors of the tribes, Nagong, and repaired some roads to connect the tribes, and the long-term calm made the tribes less wild xìng who obtained a stable source of food from farming.
But obviously, not every tribe is so changing, there are still some tribes that still adhere to the traditional way of life, such as many tribes in Nanzhu County, which is also inseparable from the environment of Nanzhu County.
Whether it is the Xilin Valley, or the Xiongshan and Hushan counties, there are large river plains, these plains are fertile and easy to cultivate, but Nanzhu does not have this environment, because Nanzhu is mountainous, forested, and the territory is surrounded by mountains in three parts, and the rest is mostly cháo wet rainforest, and the harsh conditions naturally blocked the spread of imperial civilization.
So now, the partial division who entered Nanzhu County encountered the situation they encountered before in the southern Xinjiang of Great Chu, and they were not facing a group of familiar barbarians who were difficult to leave their homeland, but a group of barbarians who could luàn everywhere after pulling out the camp tent.
The southern frontier of Great Chu, now that Great Chu can fully grasp it, is only the south of the Weeping Blood Valley, the boundary of five hundred miles around the Red Clay City, and the jungle in the south of Xiangxi Province, there are still a large number of barbarian tribes.
And if you want to tame these barbarians, you can only use force to capture, and then throw them into the slave army for transformation, it will take at least three or five years before it can be converted into a more tame barbarian, for taming barbarians, Da Chu still has a lot of experience, but obviously, if you want to completely occupy a jungle, there is no ten or eight years of operation, don't even think about it.
Nanzhu County is obviously the same situation, in this regard, Leng Zhuo also sighed lightly, and said: "It seems that we don't know enough about the situation in Nanzhu County, but I didn't expect it to be such a situation, I replied to Sun Junshi, I agreed with his idea and temporarily gave up the occupation of Nanzhu County!"
Nanzhu County, the porcupine jungle in the north, from the north direction, is actually a road that is not too wide to lead to the porcupine mountain, but on both sides of this road, it is still covered by countless dense forests, Huang Zhong and Le Yi The vanguard of the two is directly through the porcupine forest and rushes to the mountain city on the porcupine mountain, and the follow-up main force led by Sun Bin is the only jungle trail.
However, this way to the south, but encountered many dangers, the porcupine barbarians who kept pouring out of the dense forests on both sides used various means to make it difficult for Sun Bin's main force to move an inch, not only ambushes and traps along the way, but also to face a herd of porcupines that were seduced.
The scouts sent out were even more stressful, and the barbarians launched a tragic battle in the surrounding dense forests, although this way south, the loss was not too great, but in ten days, even a hundred miles have not been walked, and with the continuous deepening of the forest, this kind of uninterrupted ambush, the initial sneak attack has made the army tired, especially the logistical troubles are a headache.
Another fog came, because it was a rainforest area, the climate was humid, and it was the time when there were still gusts of cold air from the north to the south, so the fog in this forest took up almost most of the day, and there was obviously no more difficult problem than this fog.
Whenever there is a heavy fog, it is almost certain that there will be a brute attack, like a pack of wolves and tigers, or a pack of piranhas, facing an elephant, although it is not an opponent, but always tearing a piece of ròu.
Fog, people's vision is limited to the maximum, even the visibility is less than two or three zhang, the thickest, there are people around can not see, and in the fog, groups of barbarians from various tribes have drilled out of the rainforest, although in this fog, they can also see each other clearly, but for them who have survived in this rainforest for hundreds of thousands of years, there are always some ways for them to exert their combat power in the fog.
The fog horn fairy is a kind of spirit worm, itself is just a first-order spirit worm, the attack power is ordinary, and the size is only the size of a thumb, but the fog horn fairy is a unique insect in the porcupine rainforest, and the same fog horn fairy is also a beacon in this fog, an early warning.
The horns of the fog horn fairy are always facing south, and once there is danger around them, they will shake their wings and generate a fog that envelops the whole body, and they will integrate themselves into it.
Xing is the warrior of the tarantula tribe who has a mist horn fairy, and there are seven or eight tribal warriors gathered around him, they secretly entered this camp, Xing didn't look around, because of the fog, he couldn't see clearly, so his attention was always on the fog horn fairy on the back of his hand.
Vibration, buzzing vibration, suddenly let Xing a jī Ling, there was an enemy in front of him, Xing hurriedly waved his hand, and several people around him suddenly burrowed into the fog.
