Chapter 18: The Fierce War
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of breaking the air from the way from the direction of Taniguchi, and the iron cone fired by the machine spring concealer shot towards the battle group and the direction where Su Qingyun was like locusts, but it was those soldiers who arrived.
This scheming person is also ruthless, and there are still six scheming qi refiners in the battle group, and now they don't care about it, they just want to shoot them all.
Lin Wen knew something was wrong when he heard the sound of breaking the air, and shouted: "It's not good." The short knife in his hand danced a curtain of light, and at the same time it went in the direction of the dam.
When the other two Qi Refiners heard Lin Wen shouting, they also flew up, jumping in the direction of the dam like Lin Wen, but they didn't completely dodge and were injured respectively.
The six Qi Refiners also knew that it was not good, and hurriedly protected and dodged, but a few of them were slightly injured.
However, when the lieutenant saw that there were still more than a dozen "Lin Wen" still there, and they couldn't tell the difference in the night, he ordered the soldiers to continue firing, and the few Qi Refining Soldiers were shot alive by their own people.
The soldiers who surrounded Su Qingyun saw the arrival of the brigade of Qiyun soldiers in advance, and quickly grabbed their shields to surround Su Qingyun and the two children, but no one was injured when the machine spring hidden weapon was fired, but they didn't even dare to show their heads again.
Su Qingyun's eyes opened, and seeing that the situation was critical, he immediately ordered: "Quick, quickly retreat behind the dam!"
The soldiers were also proficient in this before, and now they helped Su Qingyun and withdrew behind the dam with their two children. Thanks to the phantoms that Lin Wen had conjured up, which attracted the attention of the Qixuan soldiers, they retreated all the way but nothing happened.
The lieutenant was surprised to see that he had spent countless machine spring concealed weapons and had not shot down the dozen or so "Lin Wen", but he was also a well-informed person, and knew that it was an illusion, so he ordered the soldiers to stop, light torches, and carefully observe the situation.
I saw that there were dead bodies all around, and the demon cultivator was also lying face down in the muddy water, he must have died in battle, and the lieutenant was suddenly jealous in his heart, if the other party's late-stage spirit disciple could still fight, it would be difficult for his side to have any hope of winning, and just now I saw that there were more than a dozen people withdrawing, and several of them were also extraordinary.
But as an officer, he also knew that if the mine was flooded and the mine was destroyed, the punishment for all of them would be unacceptable, and he would inevitably apologize for his crimes. Now that the opponent was so strong that he could hardly say that he could definitely win, he immediately waved his hand and beckoned two soldiers, gave them an order, and ordered them to ride back to the direction of Taniguchi. On the other hand, he ordered the soldiers to prepare to attack and advance.
Su Qingyun and Lin Wen met again after the dam was encircled, but this time they didn't have many greetings, and immediately discussed the strategy of retreating from the enemy.
Lin Wen was thoughtful, and when he saw a cavalry rushing back in the firelight, he also felt very strange, and suddenly he remembered the four puppets at the mouth of the valley, could it be that they were going to move this thing here? Lin Wen was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said to Su Qingyun: "Brother Su, the junior brother saw four puppets at the mouth of the valley, all of them are quite magical, if they move this thing here, it will be difficult for us to have a chance." Then he explained the power of the four puppets.
When everyone heard him say this, they were also shocked in their hearts, and Su Qingyun asked, "Then why didn't they come with the soldiers and horses this time?
Lin Wendao: "Those puppets are huge and heavy, and it is not easy to move them. ”
Su Qingyun's heart was relieved, and he asked, "Brother, estimate how long it will take for them to move here?"
Lin Wen calculated in his heart and said, "Before dawn." ”
Su Qingyun and the others didn't say anything when they heard this, but calmed down.
Su Yun was on the side, and when she saw that her father was a little abnormal, she took her father's hand and shouted, "Daddy." ”
Su Qingyun heard her daughter's call, looked at her daughter, and sighed. When he entered the dam, he saw that the water flowing into the mine was unabated, and if it could be supported until dawn, the mine would definitely be filled, and as long as the mine was destroyed, his task would be completed, but his daughter was at a young age, but she was trapped in this place of death, unable to get out, and she couldn't help but feel melancholy in her heart.
Lin Wen didn't understand Su Qingyun's thoughts, and was about to say something, but he heard that the soldiers outside the dam had formed a formation and attacked.
As soon as Lin Wen gritted his teeth, he took out a few reed concealers and more than 200 sleeves from the storage bag. Although Su Qingyun was prepared in his heart, he didn't expect Lin Wen to actually take out so many machine spring hidden devices and sleeves at once; several other people were overjoyed when they saw this, although everyone was injured, and saw that there were so many machine spring hidden weapons, if it was just a defense, it would definitely be able to support it until dawn, so they knew that this task would definitely be completed, and everyone was assigned at the moment and prepared to meet the enemy.
The lieutenant was still afraid of the late-stage spirit disciples in his opponent, so he just sent a small group of soldiers, one by one cautiously, holding shields, just a tentative attack.
I didn't want to see the other side shoot a batch of machine spring hidden weapons from behind the dam, and although the casualties of the soldiers were not large, they did not dare to attack rashly.
When one move failed, another move was made, and the lieutenant ordered the soldiers to divide into small teams, each team of three shieldmen, one Changge, and one pikeman, divided into ten teams, and approached the dam and used Changge to open the dam and prepare to release the water and slow down the speed of pouring into the mine, and the rest of the men used reed concealers and strong bows and crossbows to cover them.
This trick was really vicious, and Su Qingyun had to divide his troops into ten ways, in case the soldiers of the Monkey broke the dam enclosure, and the enemy's feather arrows and hidden weapons were shot, and three soldiers were killed.
And Su Qingyun's subordinates consumed a lot of hidden weapon sleeves in their hands, and only shot more than 20 soldiers of the other side, but they couldn't stop the continuous destruction of the dam;
And Su Qingyun was seriously injured and couldn't make a move, and Lin Wen consumed mana to conjure up one or two humanoid phantoms, and he could only consume some of the opponent's hidden weapons, feather arrows, and later the scrivener also knew about it, and he tried to find out if he shot one or two arrows.
Seeing the results of this recruitment, the lieutenant was overjoyed, so he sent three more teams of soldiers to reinforce them, and there were only a dozen shield-bearers left by his side. He also knew that the other party's late-stage spirit disciple should have been seriously injured, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so well. At that moment, they shouted loudly: "Their spiritual disciples have been seriously injured, everyone strive to step forward, kill this thief, there will be a heavy reward!"
Su Qingyun's side was even more difficult, seeing that the dam was opened in many places, the speed of water pouring into the mine was significantly slowed down, and his side was understaffed, and they were all suppressed. Su Qingyun said in his heart: That's it, it's better to kill with a single blow, how many can be killed! After glancing at his daughter, he calmed down, preparing to gather the last qi on his body and prepare for the final blow to the stinger.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the side, and then the feathered arrows shot like locusts to the side of the Lieutenant.
Everyone looked sideways, and saw that a large puppet had been moved to the front for some time, one person was operating on it, one person assisted, and one person was on guard, it was the three middle-level qi refiners under Su Qingyun who had broken the embankment.
The soldiers were caught off guard, and there were few shield-bearers, and thirty or forty of them were killed at once, but the lieutenant reacted quickly, and when he was on his horse, he quickly went to the other side, and dodged the feathered arrows, and the horse was shot directly.
The soldiers who were tearing down the dam saw that the situation was not good, and they did not care about continuing to destroy the dam and hurriedly retreated. Lieutenant Monkey ordered the shield-bearers to organize their defenses, and returned fire with reeds and bows and arrows, and at once they were at a stalemate.
Seeing this, Su Qingyun was surprised and happy in his heart, and when he looked at it, he saw that all the protection outside the puppet had been removed, and only the main mechanism remained, so he ordered a high-level qi refiner to bring a few shields over, and then replaced one person to ask about the situation, and let the others take the opportunity to repair the gap.
It turned out that when the three middle-level Qi Refiners were waiting for the order to expand the opening of the embankment upstream, one of the Qi Refiners wanted to find something useful near the barracks, and they didn't want to find this puppet there, and after testing it, it was actually a puppet that could quickly release arrows, and it was those people who were worried that the miners would attack the barracks, so they also set up a puppet here.
The Qi Refiner was overjoyed, knowing that if he had this thing to help, he would be able to kill more enemies, and there would be more possibilities for the task, so he immediately called the other two to help, and the three of them tried their best, but found that they still couldn't move, and tried to remove some of the protection outside the puppet to reduce weight.
