Chapter 109: The battlefield is ruthless
In the early morning of the second day, the men and horses of the battalions set out in full gear and headed all the way towards the Black Wind Mountain.
Walking to the foot of the Black Wind Mountain, looking at the endless thorn forest in front of him, Wang Ruoli's face was a little unnatural, this thorn forest stretched across the entire east and south of the Black Wind Mountain, and the scope was far beyond his expectations.
"Brother Li'er, how to get to this thorny forest?" Ruan Jinglun, who was on the side, couldn't help but lean over and ask.
"Who said we had to go through here. Wang Ruoli pondered for a moment, and the old god said on the ground, "I don't like jumping into other people's traps." ”
"Ah, then we ...... it" Ruan Jinglun was confused.
"This thorny forest is full of thorns, traps and ambushes, and if you pass from here, I am afraid that at least twenty percent of the sergeants will have to explain to it. Wang Ruoli analyzed, turned his head and greeted Jian Yong and Gao Shiqi behind him, "Captain Jian, Captain Gao, the other two sides of Black Wind Mountain, is it possible to go up the mountain?"
"Young Master Wang, the other two sides are either cliffs or barren mountains and mountains that no one has ever walked on, the weeds and dwarf trees, densely clustered, are two people high, and they can't go up at all. Jian Yong said with a bitter face.
"There is no road in the world, but when there are many people who walk, it becomes a road. Wang Ruoli seemed to say very normally.
"What Young Master Wang said makes a lot of sense. Gao Shiqi on the other side nodded hurriedly and said, "We are three thousand armor soldiers, why worry about not being able to open a way." ”
"It's not necessary to open the road, but in the next few days, I'm afraid I will have to wronged the sergeants to cut grass and cut wood. Wang Ruoli smiled.
"Young Master Wang cherishes the lives of the sergeants, and it's too late for everyone to be grateful, let alone cutting grass and cutting trees, even climbing rocks and climbing walls is better than storming thorn forests. Gao Shiqi said gratefully.
"Then there are two lieutenants, and arrange for the sergeants to start clearing the road in shifts. Wang Ruoli couldn't help but command.
"Yes!" the two of them answered.
The next three days were spent in the Black Wind Mountain.
Wang Ruoli saw that after three days of hard work, he had bypassed the thorn forest and cleared the road from the west to the mountain, and it was expected that he would be able to reach the first line of the stream smoothly at noon tomorrow.
In the past few days, the mountain has been patrolled by Hu Buxiu and the sergeants of the first school to guard against the sentry of Heifeng Village.
As for the mountain, it is Wang Ruoli who is responsible for himself.
Another night, Wang Ruoli unleashed the Flying Maple Technique, swept over the grass and low trees, and ran all the way to the opposite mountain.
As Wang Ruoli became more and more proficient in the Flying Maple Technique, he was still able to walk freely on the surface of the lake before, not to mention these grass and dwarf trees, which were naturally like walking on the ground and moving quickly.
Wang Ruoli relied on his agile body and crossed a hill again and came to the stone cliff on the left side of the first line of streams.
Raise your eyes and look out, only to see that the first line of the stream is deep and narrow, the cliff wall is straight, and the mountain stream is turbulent and surging, it can be seen that the water level difference between the whole section of the first line of the stream is very large, but the distance between the stone walls on both sides of the first line stream is not far away, and even at the drop, the distance between the two stone walls is only a short three zhang.
Wang Ruoli couldn't help but think in his heart, this line of stream is really interesting, looking down from above, he thought it was a long mountain col, and someone used a sword to split it in half.
On the stone wall on the right side of the first-line stream, a narrow stone road winds and turns, shuttling between the stone walls and leading to the top of the cliff.
Wang Ruoli was looking carefully, and suddenly, a little uneasiness flashed in his heart, and someone seemed to be spying on him nearby. At the moment, let go of his divine consciousness and swept along all directions, but unfortunately his divine consciousness could only scan his own three zhang radius, and after a toss, he never found anything, which couldn't help but make Wang Ruo even more suspicious.
Could it be?
Wang Ruoli seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and suddenly beads of sweat seeped out of the corners of his forehead, and he hurriedly turned around and hurried back towards the way he came.
After a while, a few feet away from where Wang Ruoli was standing just now, behind a tree a few feet away, a vague rickety figure slowly appeared: "Stinky boy, is it a dog, the sense of smell is so sensitive, it was almost discovered." ”
On the afternoon of the third day, Wang Ruoli finally led the crowd to the stone cliff on the left side of the first-line stream.
A few leaders lay on the edge of the cliff and discussed in a whisper.
"Young Master Wang, now that we have bypassed the thorn forest, looking at the situation of the other party, we should not be aware of us. Gao Shiqi opened his head slightly and looked at the stone wall on the right.
"So much for the best. Wang Ruoli commanded softly, "Cut down trees at night, build a hundred wooden bridges before midnight, pass through the stone cliff above the sinkhole of a first-line stream, and attack the Black Wind Cliff before dawn." ”
"Understood. Several people behind him answered.
Wang Ruoli didn't expect that a tough battle would unknowingly turn into a sneak attack.
The darkness before dawn, soaked in blood, caused the mountain wind to rattle.
Touching the dark, Wang Ruoli and the others successfully entered the mouth of the Black Wind Cliff, as if choking the throat of the Black Wind Village, in front of Jian Yong and Gao Shiqi led people to guard the entrance of the Black Wind Cliff, and behind them there were Hu Buxiu, Wang Ruoqing and others who blocked the grass Kou of the first-line stream who wanted to return to help, and they couldn't take care of each other.
Wang Ruoli walked lightly to the cliff, from the bottom to the top, looking up at the misty Black Wind Cliff in front of him, and his expression seemed to add a little pity.
"Captain Jian, Captain Gao, is there only one way to enter and exit the Black Wind Cliff?" asked Wang Ruoli as if he had a deep meaning.
"Yes. Jian Yong spread his hands and said, "This is the only one, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to enter the Black Wind Village." ”
"Not bad! Very good!" Wang Ruoli nodded, "Captain Jian, after you lead people to set fire paths on both sides of the Black Wind Cliff, you immediately set fire to the mountain;
"Ah, Young Master Wang, didn't you say before that setting fire to the mountain would be a loss of peace?" Jian Yong said in surprise.
"Did I say that? What is Tianhe?" Wang Ruoli looked innocent and ignorant, "Burning the mountain couldn't hurt the bones of Heifeng Village before, but now it's different, there is only one way down the mountain, such a good opportunity to catch turtles in the urn, how can you not burn it, burn it quickly." ”
"Yes!" the two lieutenants had no choice but to leave.
"No, a few of you lead people to guard outside the cliff, don't let go of those scattered escaped grass robbers. Wang Ruoli looked at Jian Yong and Gao Shiqi, who went to command the sergeants, frowned slightly, and greeted Hu Buxiu and a few others, and took the sergeants to open a big pocket outside the cliff.
As the fire spread, thick smoke billowed and burned all the way up the mountain. Half an hour later, the grass robbers on the mountain, unable to stay any longer, looked at the Black Wind Cliff and fled, some in twos and threes, and some organized groups of assaults, and launched a fierce battle with the sergeants guarding the cliff mouth.
Relying on the geographical advantage, as well as the advantages of numbers and cultivation, the sergeant quickly defeated several groups of grass robbers who tried to break through, and the entire cliff mouth was full of corpses.
Suddenly, a loud horn of charge sounded on the cliff, and hundreds of grass robbers rushed down from the cliff mouth in an instant, with great momentum, especially in the vanguard of this group of grass robbers, there were more than 20 cultivators in the third phase of qi training, and their combat power was not bad, and they rushed into the soldiers, sharp and difficult to be, and after a short intersection, the sergeants intercepted by the cliff mouth were rushed out of a gap. And these grass cultivators who broke out of the encirclement did not wait for the grass robbers in the rear to follow smoothly, so they scattered and fled out.
Hu Buxiu and the others, who were stationed outside the cliff, hurriedly led the crowd to kill the generals, and besieged this group of grass cultivators again, and the two sides fought.
Feng Xiaoxia, Shi Niu, and Xiang Ping'an were responsible for intercepting the east with dozens of sergeants, and after killing several grass cultivators one after another, suddenly, a slender figure jumped out of the grass cultivators, with light footwork, fierce sword moves, and several strong attacks, killing several sergeants one after another.
Shi Niu and Xiang Ping'an intercepted the two with horizontal knives, but the slender figure made a strong move, and only one move broke the interception momentum of the two, and the sword move was another dance, and the attack came again.
Xiang Ping'an struck a longitudinal knife, but was lightly picked by the tip of the opponent's sword, flew out, and the slender figure kicked at the foot of his feet, kicking Xiang Ping'an to the ground, and then with the reverse power of this kick, the long sword like willow fluttering stabbed out sharply, Shi Niu couldn't dodge, was pierced through the chest by a sword, and a large piece of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth when he landed, and after the opponent drew his sword, he fell to the ground.
Wang Ruoli stood on top of the high stone, looking at the situation on the battlefield, and was surprised by the changes here, so he hurriedly rushed over, and saw the slender figure piercing the stone ox with a sword, drawing his sword and running away, and was about to get out of the encirclement.
Wang Ruo was disgusted, and the remnants of the shot, a style of "autumn wind sweeping the leaves" immediately swung out, the other party was defeated, was swept away by a sword, and fell back into the encirclement.
Wang Ruoli took a closer look, this slender figure was actually Yue Qinghuan of the Lingyun faction, hadn't she already graduated from the palace and entered the army? Why is she here?
Yue Qinghuan, who fell to the ground, couldn't help but spit out two mouthfuls of blood, seeing that it was Wang Ruoli who had killed, but instead of retreating, he moved forward frantically: "Wang Ruoli, I want to kill you and avenge my third uncle!"
Third uncle, Wang Ruoli was stunned when he heard this, could it be Le Yongxing?
Seeing Yue Qinghuan killing with a sword, Wang Ruo hated him for stabbing the stone cow, and wanted to kill the killer.
Suddenly, Yue Qinghuan, who was close to her, her delicate figure froze, and a cold halberd tip suddenly stabbed out from her chest, and blood splattered.
"Kill my brother, I want you...... Die!" violently pulled out the halberd, Hu Buxiu's face sank as ink, and roughly kicked the slender and beautiful Yue Qinghuan to the ground.
Looking at Hu Buxiu's spicy hands destroying flowers, without blinking his eyes, Wang Ruoli was a little surprised, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although Hu Buxiu was a few years younger than himself, his heart was probably far better than himself.
Feng Xiaoxia hugged the stone ox, and came over in a hurry, and his words were difficult: "Boss...... Top dog...... Stone Ox He ......"
Seeing this, Wang Ruoli's heart was full of worry, and he squatted down and held Shi Niu's right hand: "Shi Niu, don't be afraid, you will be fine." ”
"Shi Niu, cheer up!"
"We're all there for you. ”
"We still have to fight the world together. ”
"Shi Niu, you're so strong, you'll be fine if you stand tall. ”
Hu Buxiu and Zeng Lun gathered around one after another, but they were a little choked up between the words.
Shi Niu looked at Wang Ruoli's eyes were already cloudy, and the corners of his bloody mouth said with difficulty: "Boss, I know...... I can't...... I can't dominate the world with my brothers...... I have a younger brother named Shi Hu...... Since childhood, they have depended on each other...... Ask the boss to help take care of ......" The voice became quieter and quieter, and it was completely inaudible to the back.
Shi Niu's face towards the sky, his eyes were blank, a tear full of sadness slipped out of the corner of his eye, and his lips and teeth moved slightly, as if he was murmuring, as if he was annoyed, as if he was reminiscing: I'm sorry Xiaohua, I'm going to lose my trust, I can't go back, I can't marry you......
Suddenly, Shi Niu's right hand loosened, slipped from Wang Ruoli's hand, and hung to the ground, making a small snapping sound.
The people of the No. 24 Tooth Camp surrounded by the "Stone Ox ......" were full of sadness and shouted in mourning.
"Bastard, I'm going to kill them all!" Feng Xiaoxia was grief-stricken, and rushed towards the place where the battle was fought.
"I'll go too!" "And me!" Wang Yingshan and Yu Duqiu rushed out together.
Wang Ruoli looked at Shi Niu's corpse in a daze, his heart was depressed, and his thoughts were disturbed.
"Boss, are you okay?" asked Hu Buxiu on the side, looking at him nervously.
"How can this be?" Wang Ruoli said bitterly, "It's me...... It was I who couldn't save him in time. ”
"Boss, the battlefield is ruthless and changeable, and no one knows if they will die in the next moment. "Hu Buxiu is also related.
Wang Ruo was at a loss.
