Chapter 109: Tackling Tough Problems (I)
The place where the southeast border between the Black Water Country and the Qiuwen Country is the terrifying Forbidden Flying Forest, even if people and immortals dare not go deep, ordinary people dare not enter it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the northwest is the vast Haoshan Mountain Range, which is also a treacherous place, with countless peaks exceeding 10,000 meters in height, extremely steep and steep, and mortals cannot pass at all, even if they are immortal cultivators, they are also very dangerous, because there are too many powerful demon beasts in the depths of Haoshan Mountain.
Therefore, during the Great Spring Dynasty, in order to facilitate the passage of the people of the two places, trade and commerce, the army was opened, and countless powerful monks were dispatched.
Let them explore the terrain of Haoshan, and then use their own powerful spells, chisel the mountain wall ridge, live in the tall and wide Haoshan mountain range, forcibly carve out a road, because most of the road is around the tall lofty mountains, so it is called Haoshan Heavenly Road by the people.
There is a Xiongguan at the end of Haoshan Tiandao, called Xieling Pass, which is controlled by the Heishui Kingdom.
The Xiongguan at this end of Haoshan Tiandao is Yunling Pass.
The south of Yunling Pass is still mostly mountainous, but the mountains are much shorter, so Yunling Pass has become the most important gateway of Suwon Mansion and even the twelve prefectures of Suwon River.
"Sure enough, it's a majestic pass. Cheng Mo sighed in his heart.
It is nearly 50 meters high and six or seven miles wide, and its walls are made of large square stone walls weighing tens of tons, and on both sides are bottomless abysses.
The gate opened, and a general greeted him, said a few words to the ancestor of the Dan family, and brought them to the city.
There were countless soldiers in the city, and the generals took them to a camp where they could rest.
Cheng Mo put down his luggage, walked out of the camp, and found that there were people from Nanshan Gate on the side.
He looked inside worriedly, and sure enough, Ye Luan and Ouyang Zhi walked out, but in Nanshan Gate, they did not call Ye Luan and Ouyang Zhi, but changed it to Cheng Luan and Ouyang Zhi.
Cheng Mo made a look, the two understood, and as he came to a secluded place, there were actually warriors everywhere, and this seclusion referred to the monks, far away from the camp of the Five Immortal Gate.
Cheng Mo asked, "What about Ruoruo?"
Ye Luan replied: "She reached half a step to lay the foundation and got the weight of the Nanshan Gate, so she didn't let her come." ā
Originally, Ouyang Lanruo's talent was relatively good, and she ate five spirit root fruits, it can be said that she has become the top existence in terms of qualifications, and she does not lack cultivation resources, including exercises, although she is a fellow practitioner of the five systems in the open and a double cultivation of magic weapons in secret, she has also reached the half-step foundation.
No, Cheng Mo's eyes continued to flash with worry, the Five Immortals Sect was so selfish and shameless, he knew it now, don't look at Ouyang Lanruo's talent and outstanding appearance, come to an internal digestion.
But this news also confirmed his idea that he had just gotten on the spaceship, several elders were forced to come, it was helpless, but at the level of intermediate monks, there was no Dan family immortal elder, and some outstanding disciples did not come, including Danding Qixiu, two shows were killed by Cheng Mo, only Qixiu, whether they broke through or not, none of them appeared.
Cheng Mo put aside his thoughts and said, "Luan, burn, remember, whether it is Qiuwen Country or Heishui Country, their victory or defeat has nothing to do with us. You just have to keep yourselves safe. ā
The two nodded.
Cheng Mo thought about it, took out a large handful of talismans, handed them to them and said, "There are a few transmission notes, notify each other of the situation, and the rest are more powerful talismans, don't use them until the critical time." ā
"Mo, which country can win this battle?"
"I don't know...... Listen. ā
The three of them listened and listened, and the sound of bamboo roar came out of nowhere, the bamboo roar was similar to a flute, all made of bamboo, and the sound was more mournful because of the different structure.
"This is indecent. Cheng Mo said.
"That's the sound of the bamboo roar. ā
"I know that the sound of the bamboo roar is sad, but if it is sad and angry, and there is the guard of Xiongguan, this battle of Qiuwen Kingdom will be won. But if it is sad and complaining, hesitant and powerless, this battle is in danger. It's not Qiuwen Country, at least this Xiongguan may not be able to hold it. ā
"Mo, it's just a few soldiers blowing and roaring. ā
"Luan, it's not just a bamboo roar, I entered the Guancheng and saw that most of the soldiers had worried and confused eyes, not a sign of victory. Also, changing the commander in battle is a taboo for the soldiers, Qiu Wenguo's new exchange for this marshal surnamed Gao, I don't know if he is powerful, but he has only been here for a short time, and before he is familiar with the soldiers, the war will come quickly, and it is a factor that is not conducive to Qiu Wenguo. There are a few sayings on our earth, warlike will perish, every war will kill many people, waste a lot of goods, increase the burden of the people, so continuous war, the burden of the country is heavy, the people are resentful, internal and external troubles, the country will inevitably perish. Forgetting the war will be dangerous, putting down the weapons in your hands, not daring to fight, the soldiers are cowardly, once the war comes, they will only be defeated and retreated. So there is another sentence, raising soldiers for a thousand days, used for a while, on the surface it means that the country usually raises a large number of soldiers, and when the war comes, you have to work for the country, and the other meaning is that every three or four years, there is a fight, the burden on the country is not heavy, and the soldiers are also familiar with the war. Qiu Wenguo has been peaceful for a long time...... However, it is not easy to say, although the army of the Blackwater Country is familiar with the war, but the Flowing Mountain has suffered a fiasco, if this battle can drag the Blackwater Country down, the three armies of the Blackwater Country will become belligerent and will die, the commander is wise, retreat quickly, and can end up with a good end, if it is not wise, continue to attack, and it will be a fiasco in the end. ā
"With this Xiongguan, it should be able to drag on for a long time. ā
"God knows, there are so many elders, they have great powers, they are not like our earth. Go back. Cheng Mo said that there were too many rotten debts behind his buttocks, and he couldn't let others see that he was involved with Ye Luan and Yan Yan.
The two went back, and Cheng Mo asked Ruoruo with a transmission note.
After a while, Ruoruo replied with a transmission note and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll be fine, you want to digest me, hum!"
Cheng Mo smiled, put away the transmission note, and returned to the camp.
Soon, another school official came over to distribute magic bows and arrows, and those below the foundation period, including the monks in the foundation period, with their mana, the flying swords or other magic weapons they controlled on this battlefield did not work at all.
Many monks looked at the magic bow and arrow, and their faces were wrinkled, especially those immortal disciples, who entered the immortal gate since they were children, practiced immortal arts, and several people had used bows and arrows, even if they were magic bows and arrows.
Several elders of the Dan family had to teach hand in hand.
In fact, it is similar to the ordinary bow and arrow of the cultivator, the difference is that one is forcibly pulled away by force, and the other is pulled away by mana, while using mana to pull the bow open, while using mana to stimulate the weapon pattern on the magic arrow, the magic bow is also blessed with instrument patterns, so the arrow can shoot farther than ordinary bows and arrows, and the penetration is stronger.
But no matter what form it takes, you must first be familiar with the bow and arrow, and you are not even familiar with the bow and arrow, whether it is a magic bow or not.
Guo Conghai looked at the bow and arrow in his hand and also tightened his eyebrows.
Cheng Mo is very familiar with it.
After a little try, I put them in the storage bag.
"You are the lucky Cheng Mo," the two Law Enforcement Hall disciples walked over and said contemptuously.
"Yes, I'm lucky, my enemies aren't. Cheng Mo smiled and said.
"Boy, you're looking for death!"
"Many people wanted me to die, but instead of me, they died. I don't know if you're going to die," Cheng Mo said with a smile.
Not far away, an ancestor of the Dan family looked at this side.
This is the battlefield, as an elder-level monk, he will not attack himself for no reason, but he gave him a reason, maybe he will make a move, maybe slap himself to death.
But there has to be a reason.
Guo Conghai came over.
The two Law Enforcement Hall disciples had no choice but to leave angrily.
"Don't be too troublesome, boy. Guo Conghai warned.
He was kind, Cheng Mo said: "Guo Xianchang, don't worry, I know the severity." ā
After a while, he came to Shi Xiaojia, and he was also one of the monks who collected materials for Cheng Mo.
How to collect it, Cheng Mo has never cared, but he knows that he has issued various resources worth tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, he doesn't care about himself, the contribution points must be replaced, otherwise he will leave the Danding Gate, it will be a point, those low-level pill magic weapon talismans that have been seized, he will gradually not be able to use them, not to mention the talismans and pills that he has come to practice.
However, for the various disciples, this is a feast, in the process of exchange, these miscellaneous disciples of the Spirit Plantation Garden must know many people and hear a lot of news, even the defeat of the Black Water Country Liushan is also what Cheng Mo heard from their mouths.
"Who were those two disciples just now?" asked Cheng Mo.
The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall must be dissatisfied with themselves, and he can see it when he gets on the spaceship, but dissatisfaction does not mean hatred, and several disciples shoot hateful glances at themselves, including these two disciples.
"I know these two people, one is named Wei Wenliang, who is Wei Wensheng's cousin, and the other is Liu Dapu, who is Zhu Ju's cousin. ā
"It's all for the dead, but sadly it's for the dead, and I don't know it. ā
"What kind of ghost?"
"Senior Brother Shi, do you see if those talented disciples are here?
"Senior Brother Cheng......" Shi Xiaojia also woke up, his eyes full of bitterness.
Cheng Mo said that it didn't work, and he didn't know many people, but Shi Xiaojia said it, which would resonate with many disciples.
It's not just Cheng Mo who knows the truth, but no one has the ability to change this situation, even if it's those human emperors, the reason why Cheng Mo said it is just to disgust the red-top gate. Moreover, if Qiuwen is defeated in this battle, the losses of the Five Immortal Sects will be heavy, and the alienation of the monks with foreign surnames will accelerate the decline of the Danding Gate.
There was no word all night, and as soon as it was light, a loud trumpet sounded above the city.
The school officer hurriedly walked in and said to the Dan family elder who led the leader, "Elder Yuansheng, please take your monks to fight in the city with me. ā
The army of the Black Water Country is here.
Chapter 110 (Medium)
Cheng Mo followed everyone to the city.
Outside the pass is a very wide mountain beam, which was not so wide originally.
After the collapse of the Great Reed Dynasty, various dynasties rose one after another, as the most important road in the northwest, the two checkpoints of Haoshan Tiandao are the key objects of competition among the countries in the northwest region.
In order to facilitate the attack on Yunling Pass, some great monks in the national army have successively moved mountains and rocks to fill this mountain beam very wide.
But the terrain is like this, the two sides continue to be bottomless ravines, and the side guarding the pass continues to widen the city, whether it is Xieling Pass or Yunling Pass, it still becomes an important gateway to the south and the north.
", how many enemies do you have to have?" Cheng Mo looked at the opposite side of the mountain beam and couldn't help but say.
The mountains on the other side of the mountain were full of troops from the Black Water Country, and although Cheng Mo stood on the top of the fifty-meter-high city and looked north, there was no end in sight.
The Black Water Country sent a battle formation, crossed the mountain beam, and strode over.
In front are shield bearers and archers, and the lineup is neat, giving people a sense of solemnity.
This is not only a psychological effect and an adjective, but an almost substantive murderous aura, and there are many high-ranking monks in it, which in itself will exert great pressure on ordinary people and low-level monks.
Behind is a large number of cloud cars and stone throwers.
Cloud chariots are a kind of siege tower carts, they are generally higher than the head of the city, and there are some monks hidden in it, or powerful cultivators, or shoot at the enemy on the head of the city, or close to the head of the city, directly attack the head of the city to fight.
The stone thrower is not the stone thrower of the ancient earth, it has a more complex structure, stronger materials, and is blessed with a magic circle, which can throw several tons of boulders to miles away.
Finally, there were a large number of soldiers, some soldiers who were ready to rotate to the front, and many soldiers who pushed the chariot, which contained huge stones and some weapons.
Among them, there were nearly two thousand tall ape demon beasts, and some high-level ape demons could reach nearly twenty meters high.
Compared with immortal cultivators, demon cultivators are better at mastering the Tao.
In an instant, the black-pressed army squeezed through the mountain beam.
Cheng Mo looked at the monk of Nanshanmen, just as he was looking for him, Cheng Mo secretly pointed to the female wall with his hand, and he understood and pulled Ye Luan to the edge of the female wall.
The school officer shouted: "Later, listen to my command, and those who do not obey will be killed!"
Rest assured, this is no joke.
At least make a command.
There was a horn sound, Cheng Mo turned his head to look, it was from the tall tower in the back city of the urn city, it seemed that the legendary son of the Gao family was sitting in it and personally commanding.
Different horn sounds are different orders, but those who can understand this meaning are just the generals and colonels, and Cheng Mo can't hear it anyway.
The city wall is tall, the head of the city is also wide, hearing the sound of the horn, there are some generals commanding the soldiers, and the stone throwing machine is moved out of the city tower, which is more sophisticated than the armor of Qiu Wenguo, and has the height advantage of the city.
As the boulders roared out, they were thrown over the other side of the mountain beam.
This is not a mountain on earth, but a super mountain, and this mountain beam alone is two or three miles wide.
Cheng Mo lay behind the female wall and looked outside, only to see the boulders falling to the ground quickly, but the army of the Heishui Country was well-trained, and when they saw the boulders coming, they avoided them from a distance and did not mess up their respective positions. Even if a boulder killed the warrior, it did not stop the other warriors from advancing.
"This is a battle-tested army. ā
Nearly a thousand meters closer, seeing that the army of the Black Water Country in front of him was about to come to the city wall, a horn sounded on the top of the city.
The officer said, "Ready, shoot!"
The monks of the Danding Gate held their bows and arrows and began to shoot. Cheng Mo also shot, but he calmly maintained a certain amount of mana, anyway, he was just a Yuteng monk, and no one paid attention to him at all.
There were also warriors who threw large thunderbolts, which had nothing to do with gunpowder, and which had bursting spell patterns in them, and only monks could exert their power.
There were also many monks in the army.
It is not only the red-crowned gate that produces it, but also many immortal gates, and its main role is also used in the military.
"Huo!"
The shield hand of the Black Water Country folds the two sets of shields together, this shield is called the pagoda shield, which is rocket-shaped, with a triangle in front and a triangle below, the triangle below is to save its weight, and it is also convenient for the current situation, just two groups of shields can be stacked into a three-meter-high shield wall.
Defense and offense are only relative, there is no absolutely powerful and unsolvable offense, and there is no absolutely safe defense.
Under the stormy shooting of the hundreds of thousands of troops at the juncture of Qiuwen Kingdom, although the soldiers of the Blackwater Country pushed the shield wall and moved, they also began to suffer a large number of casualties.
But now it's just a moment before the storm, and the Blackwater Nation hasn't fought back yet. Cheng Mo still pondered the mystery of the height of the city wall of Yunling Pass, the higher the city wall, the better, if it is built a hundred meters high, the least lethality will have the current effect. Because arrows are not boulders, the impact will be greater as the acceleration increases as the altitude increases.
This height is just right, with the strength of the world's warriors, it is just enough to make the bow and arrow cover a range of three or four hundred meters, and at this range, it will have a certain lethality. If it is higher, the arrow will float, and if it is lower, the city will not be safe.
But what do these soldiers of the Blackwater Kingdom want to do? When they come to the city wall, they will inevitably fight back, but in this case, can they really shoot at each other? Is it true that the lives of the Blackwater Country are worthless?
He looked left and right again, and most of the female cultivators in the soft wooden door were female cultivators, and some female cultivators were so frightened that they had not yet applied their mana, and the magic arrows were shot out. Then the sorrow was urged, and there was a law enforcement team composed of monks standing on the side, with knives in their hands, and a girl who was like a flower and jade was beheaded.
Cheng Mo sighed slightly, and looked at Qingling Gate again. Among the Five Immortal Gates, Qingling Gate performed the best, and also killed and injured a large number of soldiers from the Black Water Country. After all, Qinglingmen is far less wealthy than Dandingmen, and the last smuggling loss was heavy, and Dandingmen can still afford it, and it doesn't expect the monks to make meritorious achievements in exchange for more rewards. Qingling Gate is different, the more they lose, the more desperate they will be, in order to exchange for the battle merit rewards issued from above.
The worst thing is that Qingling Gate is on the edge of the Danding Gate.
Cheng Mo frowned, and looked at the Nanshan Gate on the side, the two of them behaved averagely, but they knew that Cheng Mo knew that the warriors who came out of the witch world were poor in archery?
Therefore, they are clumsy, not only reminding themselves, but after so many years, they have also seen too much deception in the Xianmen.
Cheng Mo nodded secretly, and heard the sound of horns coming from the army of Heishui Country on the other side of Shanliang.
In the blink of an eye, the sky seemed to darken, and a large rain of arrows almost obscured the day, and then flew towards the city.
"No wonder not a single monk flew into the air, and even a human immortal could be shot into a hedgehog. Cheng Mo thought to himself.
"Not good!"
The fifty-meter-high city wall, even in the fairy world, is not low in height. Arrows are fired from the bottom to the top of the city, and the force to reach the head of the city becomes very small, and there is a tall and strong female wall at the head of the city to cover it.
In fact, it was not what Cheng Mo thought at all, the rain of arrows flew into the sky, and quickly fell as they drew arcs.
Projectile method!
Cheng Mo hurriedly hid behind the female wall, his body had just been hidden, and rows of arrows rained down.
He heard a few screams, Cheng Mo swept over with his gaze, and saw that several monks were unguarded and were shot by arrows, and some were really shot into hedgehogs.
Farther away, many warriors were also shot one after another, and for a while, there was chaos in the city, which was in a completely different contrast from the army of the Blackwater Country. The law enforcement team had to use fierce hands to constantly kill the soldiers who fled in panic everywhere to stabilize the morale of the army.
"It's been peaceful for a long time, it's like this," Cheng Mo sighed.
Under the cover of bows and arrows, the army of the Blackwater Kingdom pushed the tall cloud cart to the front line.
It was taller than the head of the city, and many warriors, or monks, hid in it and threw thunderbolts at the city. Qiuwen has it, and Heishui has it too.
Cheng Mo took out the Xuanzhi shield and blocked it in front, and under the suppression of the rain of arrows, he didn't dare to stick his head out.
But he found out that the main targets of these arrow rains and thunderbolts in the Black Water Country were the monks of the various immortal sects, what was the Black Water Country going to do?
Just as he was thinking, a huge black shadow fell from the sky, and the Blackwater Kingdom also counterattacked with trebuchets. But strangely, most of the stones fell outside the city walls.
Another trumpet sounded, and the school officer said, "Immortal elders, please fight back." ā
Don't hide, please say it politely, and several teams of law enforcement teams composed of monks, holding defensive magic weapons, stand behind the monks of the immortal sect and supervise.
The monks of the Five Immortal Sect had no choice but to stick out their heads and continue to release arrows, and some middle and high-level monks began to cast spells, but there were also many monks on the opposite side, far more than the monks in Yunling Pass.
So there were spells in the air spell after spell, and many of them were powerful spells cast by high-ranking monks, and the two collided with each other, making a huge bang, which was deafening.
In fact, it was also a good time for Cheng Mo to observe, but he didn't have time to watch.
Arrows kept coming at them, and as the hundreds of high-level demon beasts were also brought to the front line by the master, they lifted up boulders and smashed them at the head of the city. Some of them have great power, and they have collapsed the female wall in every life. Even if it was Cheng Mo, he could only do it to protect his own safety, and he didn't have the heart to distract him at all.
Under this wave of attacks, many low-level monks and even middle-level monks died one after another, and one of the disciples of the Spirit Plantation Garden was hit by two arrows and fell beside Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo looked at the city, many people died in Qiuwen Kingdom, and even more people died in Heishui Country. The bows and arrows carried by each warrior are good, but their strength is limited, and it is impossible to release arrows without limit. Although the standard bow and arrow in the army is very powerful, it also consumes more force. But they rotated in an orderly manner, and the fighters and wounded fighters continued to retreat, and a large number of fighters came from the rear to fill in. Anyway, in terms of military strength, the Blackwater Country has an absolute advantage.
"Understood. Cheng Mo looked outside, and suddenly realized that this kind of offensive and defensive battle was not good for the Heishui Kingdom, but the Heishui Kingdom was actually throwing stones for attack and defense, and it was only for a while, and some of the boulders under the city wall had fallen one or two meters high.
When their height is at the same level as the head of the city, Yunling Pass is dangerous.
On the other hand, the soldiers of Qiu Wenguo, although they were commanded by various school officers and were in danger of the city, they constantly made panic and mistakes.
He also understood why the rain of arrows and thunderbolts in the Black Water Country were always aimed at the monks, and everyone couldn't fly and didn't dare to fly, but the monks of the immortal sects of the Qiuwen Kingdom finally stood on the head of the city, and they had a high advantage. So the Blackwater Kingdom suppressed it with a rain of arrows and thunderbolts, and it was possible to sacrifice more warriors, but this was a way to get off the horse and replace it with a horse, which was quite cost-effective. And under the suppression of the rain of arrows, the various high-ranking monks were never able to exert their power to the fullest.
The tragic offensive and defensive battles continued, and it seemed that the soldiers of the Blackwater Country were dying at a rate of more than several times. In particular, the collision of those powerful monks' spells, once they fell to the ground, would cause casualties to dozens of Blackwater Nation warriors.
But two hours later, the strength of the warriors of the Qiuwen Kingdom on the city was also exhausted, and the mana of the monks was also exhausted, but the army of the Blackwater Kingdom was rotating like a machine, and a large number of casualties began to appear on the city.
Together with several immortal leaders of the Danding Gate, they all died in battle.
At this moment, the sound of a horn was heard again.
A white light rose up.
This is the opening of the Guanzhong Guard.
The army of the Black Water Country was suppressed too much, and it had to open the Great Guard Array to change the defense. The army of the Black Water Country fired arrows even harder, and even forcibly stabbed at the Great Guard Array with the weapons in their hands.
Cheng Mo was slightly stunned when he saw this situation before he was replaced, and then reacted, it seemed that the Black Water Country was doing useless work, but doing so undoubtedly accelerated the consumption of the Yuan Stone to maintain the Great Array of Guards. And even if these arrows are shot, most of them can be recovered.
What they fight is attrition and casualties, and then use their absolute superiority in strength in order to quickly take Yunling Pass. Yunling Pass was taken, and the entire more than a dozen counties of Suwon Province were not defended, and the harvest of Chenguang arrived.
