Chapter 62 The Real Intention

The Cai army set out for 20,000, and more than 3,000 were killed or injured when siege. When Li Yunyi's army was attacked, three or four thousand were killed or injured. Because they were afraid of the Jingcheng army's surprise attack, the injured soldiers briefly bandaged them and came to the foot of Yujing Mountain. There were about 12,000 troops who could fight, and there were two or three thousand wounded people, so they could not fight.

It was already afternoon when he arrived at Yujing Mountain. Zhou Hai asked the army to camp and resettle the wounded. After a brief rest, he prepared to attack the mountain overnight.

Originally, Zhou Hai wanted to rest for a night, but Cai Min disagreed. Time was tight, so he captured Jingcheng one day earlier, and fewer soldiers died in Heiyan City. Cai Min is a stubborn person. He doesn't think there is any difference between attacking the mountain during the day and attacking the mountain at night.

Originally, Cai Min's intention was that he led the team to kill him, but after Zhou Hai asked the scout to investigate, he decided to be more cautious and send two or three thousand troops to tentatively attack and explore the way.

The scout found that the only road up the mountain was blocked by earth walls. These earth walls were three meters high and three meters wide. If it were normal, Zhou Hai would definitely think that the Lord Jing, who built the wall, would be an idiot. This kind of earth wall was not very useful, so he would just dig it all the way.

It's different now!

Because of the urgent military situation, they did not have so much time to dig out the earth walls one by one, and they did not have the tools to dig out the walls. If the soldiers were asked to use weapons to dig out, it would take a day for so many earth walls, unless Cai Min used the master's energy to blow it out one by one. But Cai Min was already injured and had a noble status, how could he do this?

Three meters high is not particularly high. Third and fourth-grade warriors can leap up, and ordinary soldiers can climb over with each other, so this earth wall seems useless. However, the strange appearance of the Blood Wolf Cavalry and the powerful combat power of the Shanshan Camp made Zhou Hai worry. He did not dare to directly press the entire army, nor did he dare to let Cai Min lead the strong men to kill directly.

Cai Min is the military deterrent of the entire army and is the biggest weapon of killing. If you don’t understand the situation clearly, what if you get hurt by the enemy? The Grandmaster is not a truly invincible existence. Thousands of soldiers and a group of ninth-grade strong men can easily kill the Grandmaster, not to mention that Cai Min is also injured.

He sent a general from the ninth grade to lead a team and started attacking the mountain with three thousand soldiers. He also asked several seventh and eighth grade warriors to act as scouts and touch them from the cliffs on both sides to check whether there were ambushing and arrangements.

Three thousand soldiers took a large number of cloud ladders and began to climb up the mountain. They easily crossed the first earthen wall, and they did not find any arrangement except the earthen wall. They did not stop and continued to move forward. They climbed over eight earthen walls, but they did not find any abnormalities. There were many soldiers on the top of the mountain, but they felt that there was no arrangement on the mountain road.

"Send a signal!"

Zhou Hai thought about it and slowed down the three thousand troops in front of him. He mobilized another five thousand troops to go up the mountain so that they could take care of each other. He was a little confused. What is the point of laying out the main generals on the mountain like this? The earthen walls make it troublesome to go up the mountain, and it will also make it difficult for the army on the mountain to go down the mountain. Apart from blocking their speed of going up the mountain, these earthen walls do not feel very useful.

Half an hour later, the sky gradually became darker. The three thousand vanguards had crossed over seventeen earth walls, and the five thousand vanguards had crossed over thirteen earth walls. The seventh and eighth-grade strong men accompanying on both sides did not find any ambush or arrangements.

Zhou Hai decided not to wait anymore. He walked into the camp and Cai Min who was using his qi to heal his wounds and said, "Your Highness, I'm going to trouble you again."

Cai Min's eyes opened and she stood up. He had been waiting impatient for a long time, and he was a little scolding Zhou Hai for being too cautious. He wanted to take the air to catch up with the army in front, but Zhou Hai bowed and said, "Your Highness, you have a noble status, just press the formation behind you. Don't be impulsive. Be careful of fraud. It is best to follow the army and not rush alone."

"knew!"

Cai Min replied impatiently and led 4,000 troops to rush forward. If Zhou Hai hadn't given his instructions, he would have rushed to the top of the mountain alone and killed the enemy commander. The enemy's army had no leader, and the army rushed up here, wouldn't the battle end? Jing State had only three masters, one was unknown in life and death, and two were in Heiyan City. Can a master be transformed out of thin air here?

There were many troops on the mountain, all standing silently without ignition. Xiong Jun and Long Yun stood on both sides of the chariot, Xiao Anzi was sitting in the driving seat of the chariot, all the Divine Bow Camp wore gloves, and the wooden arrow box behind them opened. Through the hazy night, Li Yunyi on the chariot looked at the army moving forward in the mountain road below with expressionless expression. His cold eyes were like a hungry wolf watching the prey approaching.

"It's almost done!" Li Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Arrange someone to send his mother and the others to the palace in the royal tomb behind to avoid it for a while."

"Here!"

Xiong Jun waved his hand, and a general rushed away. Soon Ning Cairen and the Crown Princess Li Chen were taken away. Chunya Okra Jiang Xiaochan and Su Yunyi also went to the side of Wangling. Li Yunyi waved his hand again: "Let those miscellaneous troops scatter around lurking around. There will be a big battle in this open space. Whoever gets close will be conceited at the life and death."

Xiong Jun quickly arranged for more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers, except for those left by Li Yunyi's previous instructions, to hide in the distance. Only the Blood Wolf Camp Hanshan Camp and Shengong Camp were left in this open space, as well as Lin Ya and dozens of special soldiers selected.

Li Yunyi looked down again and said, "Go to start, light the pile of wood."

There were many wood piles on the open space on the left of Li Yunyi, bundles of them. These were cut down before. There were the most wood piled in the middle, with hundreds of wood piled up. At Li Yunyi's order, Xiong Jun sent someone to light the fire, and the pile of wood in the middle suddenly ignited a raging fire. The wood was cut down yesterday, and it was all wet wood. The fire was so quickly that it was poured with tinder oil and mineral powder on it. However, because it was wet wood, thick smoke caused it to roll, covering half of the sky.

"Take the medicine!"

Li Yunyi shouted deeply, and all the soldiers left behind swallowed a small beige pill. Li Yunyi glanced at Lin Ya and said, "Prepare for the catapult cart, the target is the thirteenth earth wall."

Ten catapult cars that had been assembled long ago began to adjust the angle. The catapult was not equipped with huge stones or iron blocks, but bundles of wood. The most important thing was that the wood was covered with special mineral powder and turmeric oil.

The sudden fire and thick smoke rising on the mountain attracted the attention of the following. Zhou Hai's eyelids twitched, and he always felt something bad happened. He glanced at a ninth-grade warrior beside him and said, "Go up and report to King Min, if the situation is wrong, don't be reckless, protect our soldiers and retreat before you talk."

"Here!"

The strong man ran away quickly. He was very fast. The three-meter-high earth wall was completely pressured for him. He easily jumped up and ran up all the way. However, when he climbed over seven or eight earth walls, his body suddenly paused and suddenly looked towards the top of the mountain.

"Swish swish swish!"

A series of sounds of breaking through the air sounded, and then a bunch of huge black things fell downwards. This was obviously the sound of a catapult dropping bombs, but what was the catapult throwing? Why did it look like bundles of wood?

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The accuracy of the catapult was not enough. Only five or six bundles of wood were smashed into the mountain road, and the rest were hit. The five or six bundles of wood were pretty good, and they all hit near the mountain road around the thirteen and fourteen mulch walls.

The sergeants were familiar with the sound of the squadrons. The army up the mountain suddenly became riots. Many soldiers raised their shields and some soldiers hid behind the earthen wall. However, they all relaxed after the squadrons were finished. Some soldiers laughed at them. This squadron was too inaccurate, right?

Three armies, the three thousand in the front had crossed twenty earth walls, the army in the middle had crossed sixteen earth walls, and the army led by Cai Min at the end was still crossing the ninth wall. In other words, all the ten trenchers were smashed, and no sergeant hit...

"continue!"

Li Yunyi was very satisfied with the accuracy of the catapult. He shouted deeply. The soldiers of the Shanshan Camp received an order early and quickly carried bundles of wood over. Ten catapults fired continuously, and ten bundles of wood roared away. This time, the luck was better. Seven bundles fell into the mountain road, and they were almost between thirty-four earth walls.

"Shen Ji Crossbow, ignite!"

Li Yunyi roared, and the crossbows soaked with tiny oil on the ten divine crossbows pointed the fire, and then ten crossbows shot out. The accuracy of the divine crossbows was very good, and they easily shot on the thirteen and fourteen earth walls.

"boom!"

The rocket of the Shenji Crossbow ignited the bundles of wood that had fallen down. The wood was poured with tinder oil and flammable mineral powder. All the woods ignited a raging fire, and thick smoke rolled, covering the sky and the moon.

"not good!"

Seeing a fire ignited on the mountain road, Zhou Hai and Cai Min, who was halfway down, all his face changed drastically. At this moment, Zhou Hai finally understood what these earthen walls were used for? These earthen walls were railings of pigpens, encircling their troops in one by one like livestock, and then setting fire to death.

There is only one way down the mountain in Yujing Mountain. For the fifth and sixth grade masters, it is not difficult to escape from the cliff and walk on the wall. But how many fifth and sixth grade masters can there be? Most of them are ordinary soldiers. Can these soldiers fly directly from the cliff and walk on the wall? If they dare to do this, they will all fall to death.

"It's not right..."

Zhou Hai suddenly thought of a question. This mountain road is so steep and rugged. If you use fire to attack, it doesn’t matter whether you use earth walls or not. You can use a catapult to block the front and rear roads directly. As long as the front and rear roads are lit, you can easily burn the army. There is no need to make it so troublesome.

"not good--"

Zhou Hai suddenly woke up, and he and another ninth-grade strong man beside him shouted: "Go up and let King Min retreat, their real intention is to lure and kill King Min!"

"call out!"

As soon as he shouted, a powerful aura spread out halfway up the mountain, and then a figure soared into the sky like an angry dragon and shot straight to the top of the mountain.
