The discussion in the morning was very simple, Zhao Er just told his brothers to be strictly defensive, and also agreed that everyone would stay at their posts in the next few days, and there would be no need to discuss matters again until the end of the war; everyone knew that the big war was imminent, so they nodded solemnly and dispersed.

Throughout the day, Zhao Er invited Kong Rui to walk around with him, and also hoped that Kong Rui would give the brothers in the valley some pointers, and Kong Rui also wanted to take a look around, so he followed Zhao Er to the Gukou City Tower first.

When he arrived at the highest point of the city tower, Kong Rui saw that the arrangement below looked good, but the defense around all the crossbowmen was only effective against the ordinary soldiers outside the valley, if there were demon cultivators to attack, these people would definitely be difficult to spare, and the crossbow would also suffer a lot of losses;

Knowing that there were some problems here, Kong Rui hurriedly told Zhao Er about the shortcomings of dealing with demon cultivators, Zhao Er was also taken aback when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Kong, do you have any good suggestions?" Kong Rui remembered the puppet that Ambu used when he was competing with the Monkey Man, but now it must be too late to create something like that, so he had to tell Zhao Er about that similar thing, but he saw that Zhao Er's expression changed a few times, and he didn't speak again.

Kong Rui didn't know why, and hurriedly asked Zhao Erdao: "Second brother, no matter what, you also need to equip these crossbowmen with more protective equipment, otherwise once the crossbow destroys and kills, it will be too late to make amends." ”

Zhao Er seemed to be confident about this, and said to Kong Rui: "This second brother has already counted, just rest assured, brother." ”

Kong Rui saw that Zhao Er was so confident, so he didn't say much, and followed Zhao Er to look at the other defenses, and Kong Rui also gave him some suggestions from the perspective of a spirit disciple. Some suggestions, Zhao Er immediately adopted, beckoned people to come and quickly arranged for improvement; some suggestions, Zhao Er didn't seem to mind very much, Kong Rui saw that Zhao Er was like this, so he had no choice but to let him.

One day later, Kong Rui and Zhao Xiuying went to the secret room on the edge of the mine again, and closed the forbidden disk, Kong Rui sensed the mana suppression again, and found that there was indeed no suppression at all, so he took out one of his fourth-order scorpion puppets, took out a few energy crystals to replace the energy in the forbidden disk, and installed all the spars back. In this way, if necessary, these two forbidden disks can be opened, and there will be mana suppression of the spirit disciples in a short period of time.

Of course, for the sake of prudence, this time Kong Rui still opened the ban disk, and after completing the test, he closed the ban disk and Zhao Xiuying left.

Back at the residence, Kong Rui opened the storage bag seized from the Demon Cultivator, took out all the clothes inside, handed them to Zhao Xiuying, and asked her to hand them over to Yang Liqing.

The demon cultivators stationed on the outskirts of the mine valley to conduct reconnaissance also discovered that the suppression of mana had disappeared at the same time, so they all returned to Tanimihuo's headquarters to report their findings to Tanimihuo, and they didn't seem to find anything unusual about the people in the mine.

When Gu saw the news of the fire, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately ordered all the officers above the rank of lieutenant to be gathered and gave an order to prepare to attack the mine valley according to the plan.

As soon as the order was issued, an officer of the local garrison beside him hurriedly stepped forward and said to Gu Jianhuo: "General, slow down, we also have a hidden pile lurking in this mine valley, do you want to wait for his news to come?"

When Gu saw the fire, he immediately looked disdainful, and said: "I know that your garrison has a hidden pile, but over the years, what has this hidden pile done for us? Let me tell you again, the conquest of the Great Yan Country depends on us to make a fool of ourselves, and these people of the Great Yan Country who eat inside and out are unreliable!"

"General, this person has indeed sent back some useful news, which is indeed of some help to us in the affairs of the Mine Valley. The officer insisted.

Gu Jianhuo thought that he couldn't stiffen the relationship with the local garrison, so he said: "This is simple, when I break through the mine valley, I don't kill him, as for how to survive in the mine valley is his own business." The rest of the officers also laughed, and the officer had no choice but to remain silent, not daring to say anything more.

Gu Jianhuo's plan was indeed very sharp, he pretended not to know that the forbidden disk had expired, and led the troops to the valley mouth in a big way as usual, and then first sent two late-stage demon cultivators to fly into the mine valley from other places, on the one hand, to cause chaos in the valley, and on the other hand, it was also up to these two people to specifically investigate whether the forbidden disk was really invalid.

As a commander, Gu Jianhuo was still worried that if there were cultivators in the Mine Valley, if the other party knew about the Forbidden Disk and devised a strategy to lure the enemy into the depths, then he would suffer a big loss, so he sent two more late-stage Demon Cultivators to keep an eye on the two Demon Cultivators who entered the Mine Valley from a distance.

If he sees that everything is going well in the valley, he will immediately send three late-stage demon cultivators to attack the castle tower at the mouth of the valley, and once the castle tower is taken, he can attack on all fronts and annihilate the rebels in the valley, and there are also three late-stage demon cultivators as a reserve to support everywhere at any time.

At the same time, the Qiqian people also sent small teams of soldiers and horses to block the reinforcements from other mountains in this mountainous area, the focus is to deal with the main force in the mining valley first, as long as the main force in the mining valley is eliminated, then the other mountains will not be a problem at all.

And now it has been two days since the rain was clear, and the road has been dry, which is just right for the march of the brigade. When Gu saw the fire, he ordered the troops to set off tomorrow and enter the mining valley.

Yang Liqing received the clothes that Kong Rui gave him to the demon cultivators, and immediately asked people to stop the work of copying clothes, and found a few more cronies, so he arranged it like this, and handed over the clothes to them and let them go down.

When Zhao Er was inspecting the city tower, he also saw a lot of huge wooden boxes on the city tower, and the outside was covered with a black cloth, and he didn't know what was inside; the soldiers guarding did not allow others to open the wooden box at will, saying that it could only be opened by the order of the military advisor, and Zhao Er's expression became strange again.

Gu Jianhuo led a large group of soldiers and horses all the way into the mountain, and as before, he did not receive any decent resistance along the way. According to the plan drawn up, on the one hand, troops were stationed near the hills where there were resistance groups, blocking the intersection to prevent anyone on the mountain from sending reinforcements or escaping, and on the other hand, they also kept letting the demon cultivators sense the mana suppression.

Within a day, Gu saw the fire and led his army to the mouth of the mine valley.

Everyone in the Mine Valley had already been prepared, and most of the people in the Mine Valley had experienced battles with the Yakini people before, and each time it ended in the retreat of the Raiders, so everyone was still full of confidence and was not very nervous; only Zhao Er and some other leaders and captains and others knew about the forbidden plate, and they were still a little worried.

According to the plan, Kong Rui just found a higher place in the mine valley, meditated and breathed in it, and waited for the late-stage demon cultivators to attack.

Seeing that the fire had arrived at the mouth of the mine valley, Gu was not in a hurry to attack, but set up camp far away, planning to send demon cultivators to set off before dawn the next day, and flew into the mine valley when the sky was unclear, planning to launch a general attack after dawn and break the mine valley in one fell swoop.

The next morning, Kong Rui was sitting in the room, when he suddenly heard a noise of people outside, and soon there was a sound of fighting, and he couldn't help but think: This demon cultivator came so quickly. So he immediately went out and hurried to the place where the fight was fighting.

Along the way, I saw that many places in the valley were lit by fires, but they were all made of damp firewood and grass, making the smoke billowing and unable to look far away.

Kong Rui naturally knew that this was also part of the strategy, so he found the puppet and hurried to the place of the fight. I saw that there were two demon cultivators who were fighting with the people of the five battle groups, it was Zhao Er and the others who learned the method of fighting with the spirit disciples from Kong Rui, and urgently selected a group of soldiers to train this method, and waited for the demon cultivators in the mine valley, but fortunately, this method is actually very simple, and the soldiers can quickly master it.
