In fact, Ling Xiao didn't expect these crossbow arrows to cause much damage to the Eagle Strike Army, because after all, the attack power of the crossbow arrows was still too weak, and the reason why the split arrows were used first to cause greater damage to the enemy's strikers was mainly to let these follow-up crossbow arrows fall to the ground undisturbed.

That's right, Ling Xiao's real target was the ground where the Eagle Strike Army was standing at this time, you must know that this was in the Death Swamp, although the ground under everyone's feet looked no different from other places, Ling Xiao and Su Qing had already figured out how this passage was made.

It turns out that the reason why the Dreadnought Empire was able to build such a passage in a short period of time was also with the help of a master, otherwise, let alone a year or two, it would take more than ten years or even decades to build a passage.

What this master is good at is a kind of magical forbidden art, which can mobilize a huge amount of earth spiritual power to infuse it into the designated position, thus forming an extremely stable support point in the swamp, just like building a railway viaduct in the previous life, with a support point, and then a long wooden bridge prepared in advance is erected on it piece by piece, and then gradually covered with soil and paved with stones, so as to form such a passage for a surprise attack on the Qi country.

However, although this passage is extremely strong with the help of the forbidden law, and it is said that it can support it for more than ten years without damage or damage, it still has its weaknesses, that is, one support point after another.

Although the crossbow arrows have no effect on the forward knights of the Eagle Strike Army, they have no effect on the forward knights who wear armor, but they have an extraordinary attack power against a mound supported by the spiritual power of the earth system, as the so-called five elements are mutually restrained, and the wooden crossbow arrow shaft is the best tool that can overcome the soil. Visible to the naked eye. A yellow earth-based spiritual power light flickered once widely, and then it dimmed.

This is not the end, under Ling Xiao's precise control, the forward of the Eagle Strike Army was frustrated, and the follow-up cavalry would naturally be unable to control their speed for a while and rush forward, so the weight borne on the support point was far beyond the limit of what they could bear.

A cavalryman with armor, equipment, horses, and vests is more than half a ton, and there are no less than thirty cavalrymen who collide with each other at this time, so it adds up. It weighed nearly 20 tons, so Ling Xiao, who was out of breath, unexpectedly saw the scene he wanted to see, the passage first began to collapse from the support point, and then collapsed more than 30 meters in front and back.

Of course, this collapse has no effect on Ling Xiao's side, after all, the distance is still far away, but it is different for the Eagle Strike Army, it is light for people to turn over their horses, and nearly a hundred knights fell into the swamp along with the road. Under the effect of their own weight, one by one they struggled and screamed, and slowly sank into the swamp.

The soldiers on both sides were involuntarily shocked by the sight in front of them. But then, Ling Xiao's side was demoralized and shouted loudly, while the Eagle Strike Army was silent. It seems that this result is not acceptable for a while.

The top brass of the Eagle Strike Army didn't know how to deal with it when they couldn't make contact with each other at all, after all, the cavalry was out of close contact. If you have a strong attack, you can't fly.

Of course, the Eagle Strike Army temporarily stopped the attack for a while, and hurriedly tried to rescue the knight who had fallen into the swamp and had not yet sunk, but Ling Xiao became nervous again, after all, his side's goal was to completely break out of the passage and occupy that small city, and stopping in such a ghost place was not the content of the plan.

Hurriedly confessed to Su Qing and Zhao Xuewen and paid close attention to the movements of the Eagle Strike Army, Ling Xiao suddenly flew up and rushed towards the dark night sky outside the passage.

Ling Xiao rushed out like this, of course, he didn't kill himself, his body was still in the air, and he had already taken out a round thing from the storage equipment in his hand and threw it on the swamp.

In fact, this round thing is not a special object, but a commonly used steaming drawer in the room, the whole body is made of bamboo, its own weight is very light, but the volume is also very large, so after falling on the swamp, it does not sink, but floats on it.

Ling Xiao saw where the steamer was, and with a little bit of strength, his figure swept farther away again, and took out the second steamer in his hand, and continued to place a second foothold on the swamp.

In this way, outside the sight of the Eagle Strike Army, Ling Xiao just moved forward rapidly little by little, but it was only half an hour, Ling Xiao had already come to the end of the Eagle Strike Army, and it seemed that the defeat of the striker had not affected here, and even some men were making ginger soup on the narrow passage, thinking that it was prepared for the soldiers fighting in front of him to ward off the cold after the battle.

Ling Xiao seized the time to start looking for the nearest support point, and carried out the sabotage work, although there was only one person this time, but fortunately, no one else disturbed him, and it was only a hundred breaths, so he destroyed a support point again, completely trapping the most elite force in the channel defenders of the Eagle Strike Army.

After doing these things, Ling Xiao returned to the team the same way, but fortunately, the Eagle Strike Army had not come up with any way to deal with it for a while, and his team was relatively calm.

Originally, the consumption of shooting a large number of split arrows was already huge, plus the two trips back and forth, Ling Xiao was sweating profusely at this time, and he was about to collapse, but fortunately, the part of the plan that needed his own hands had been completed, and the next thing was just to move his mouth.

The supplies of more than 30 carts of the rear team were prepared for this situation, and the door panels, bed boards, and even windows were taken down from the car, and were spread on the swamp at intervals of two steps.

There was a steamer thrown by Ling Xiao in advance to indicate the direction, and the members of the bandit coalition army trembled one after another to the area where the Eagle Strike Army was stationed, although there were also unlucky people who accidentally fell into the swamp, but under the pull of the long rope, they also survived, but it was inevitable that they were drenched in stinky mud and unbearable.

Until it was confirmed that everyone had passed this floating road safely, under Ling Xiao's order, in the surprised sight of the Eagle Strike Army, the remaining more than 200 good hands extinguished the torches in their hands one by one, and hid their figures into the darkness.

For this situation, the Eagle Strike Army was naturally cautious and cautious, for fear that the enemy would have some ideas, but they didn't know that this group of people, under the leadership of Ling Xiao, secretly slipped away in the same way.

As for the fact that after dawn, the Eagle Strike Army was faced with the chaotic scene on the opposite side, and in the face of the passage that was cut off in front and back, Ling Xiao couldn't care so much.

Because they have come to the post station where the Eagle Strike Army is stationed, and it is also the penultimate checkpoint on the passage, Qingyun Station.

However, in order to do their best, the Eagle Strike Army can be regarded as an all-army attack, and the only ones who stayed at the post station were only about 100 old and weak people, and they didn't even use any tactics at all.

Staying in Qingyunyi for a day's time, it was used to collect supplies, replenish equipment, rest and recover, and when night fell again, under Ling Xiao's order, the bandit coalition once again cheered up and began a new march.

And what they have to face is the last pass on this passage, and it is also their ultimate goal, Xiangyang Castle!

The intelligence collected by Su Qing shows that this Xiangyang Fort, as the last supply point on the front line of the Dreadnought Empire, not only gathers a large number of logistics materials and baggage, but also garrisons an army of nearly 10,000 people, and its supreme commander is the famous general of the Dreadnought Empire, the King of the Nine Dragons!

The original name of the Nine Dragons King was Wang Tiancheng, starting from a border soldier, after a big battle, bravery, legend has it that after getting the guidance of the gun god himself, he was able to shoot out the Nine Dragons with one shot, so he had such a nickname.

However, it is worth noting that this person is also a self-motivated, after ascending to the general position with bravery, he was not ashamed to ask, and began to learn various military strategies and tactics, which can be called both civil and military, and he won some battles in the process of attacking Qi State.

On the one hand, it makes him have no battle to fight, so he can't earn greater military merits, and on the other hand, it also highlights the importance that the Dreadnought Empire attaches to the stronghold of Xiangyang Fort.

Although the existence of the Nine Dragons King has given the bandit coalition a feeling of being on the back of a mountain, they have already come here, and no one wants to fall short, and it is a big deal to fight for this life, and they will die in front of Xiangyang Fort.

Under such circumstances, the materials collected from the Qingyun Post were once again put to use, and this time the number of good men and sisters who changed into the military uniforms of the Dreadnought Empire increased to more than five hundred, which coincided with the number of guards usually sent by the Dreadnought Empire's transportation baggage club.

The materials carried by the thirty carts were deliberately collected by Ling Xiao, and half of them were kerosene oil. Therefore, the plan of this siege battle is to disguise and mix in the fire attack.

The plan is well arranged, and whether it can succeed or not depends on God's will.

However, it seems that the first part of the plan went quite smoothly, at least under the leadership of Ling Xiao, when five hundred good men wore the uniforms of the Fearless Empire and escorted more than thirty carts into Xiangyang Fort, although they were checked over and over for a long time, they finally entered Xiangyang Fort without danger.
