Heavy rain poured down, and the raindrops violently hit the branches and leaves of the forest, making the tree crowns shake and making a noisy sound.
The mountains of Nanling were suddenly filled with dense rain and fog, and the hazy moisture spread among the forests and roads.
"This rain is really not the right time."
Seeing the rain, Sheyan couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although covered by the heavy rain, their march would be more concealed and would not be hit by the artillery coming to Ancheng, but conversely, their marching speed would also be affected.
Should we wait for the rain to stop before attacking?
He was still thinking about this problem, but he didn't know that an army had set off when the cannon fired an hour ago.
Their target is the baggage of the mountain army!
Because the roads in the Nanling Mountains are narrow, the troops cannot be deployed effectively. The mountain people's baggage troops are located behind the mountain people's troops. They carry supplies of grain, grass, armor, and spare parts for the camp. It is impossible to keep up with the large troops——
But this does not mean that its combat effectiveness is weak. In fact, any baggage unit has a certain combat effectiveness, and there are several squads as flankers to protect it.
But the raiding team is even more elite.
In the mountainous area, a baggage troop of about 150 people is advancing slowly, accompanied by two large moose monsters. The huge rock corner is as tall as a tree crown, with many branches, and a huge rock that is more than three meters high.
Their size allows them to haul a lot of cargo.
"This rain has made the road too muddy!" An officer in the baggage troop looked at the heavy rain pouring down from the sky and couldn't help shaking his head: "It's even difficult to tell the direction."
"Isn't the weather here like this?" Another officer said unconcernedly: "It's not like we've never seen heavier rain... The year of the big storm, the rain rushed down the hillside and almost wiped out the tribe.
"
"That's true." The officer was not surprised by this. After all, the weather in Nanling was like this. It was normal for rain and wind to occur at any time.
But even so, the forward speed of the baggage troops will inevitably be greatly reduced. If the shoes are stepped on the muddy ground, if the shoes are not tight enough, only the feet may be pulled out, and the boots will get stuck in the mud.
The wheels of the convoy barely rolled on the wet mud road, but were forcibly dragged forward by the power of the camel beasts and magical beasts.
The mountain troops had no objections to attacking Lai'an City - not only because it was a holy land, but also because of the wealth of Lai'an City, although there had already been two troops, Yamaguchi and Jiangu, together with a Xianfeng Division, to plunder the city in advance.
It's passed, but haven't they all been killed by the new lord?
In this case, all the wealth that came to Anling should still be in the city, and the lord spent a lot of money to rebuild it, so he might be able to plunder more now!
It is obviously unrealistic to expect that these mountain people really have any lofty nationalist spirit. In fact, they do not even have the stinking nationalist spirit - they have no idea that their rebellion is really for the purpose of "rebuilding the Dragon God"
In order to "rebuild the Federation of Mountains", everyone knows very well that they are just a prop in the battle between Feiyandi and the Empire. In the battle between the great powers, people like them who have difficulty surviving in the first place must fight for
Food and the future are some of the most precious things to pay for.
Such as life.
Therefore, before the end of their lives, they must obtain as much wealth as possible and plunder what they want. All the rebel mountain people have received a promise from their leader. If they capture An City, they will be allowed to plunder for three days.
Therefore, this team is full of momentum, which is the power formed by the greed for wealth and the desire for credit.
However, just as the baggage troops continued to advance, suddenly, the Ascended officer at the head seemed to hear some strange noises.
Sizzling...
He couldn't hear clearly, but in the black jungle filled with rain and mist, there seemed to be some sound of electric current flowing.
"There's a situation!"
As an ascendant, the officer naturally could not ignore this strange sign. He immediately raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Defend in place!"
He said this, which was already a pretty quick response.
But it's still too late.
Because among the dark woods, blue electric lights suddenly lit up.
Boom!
!
The air exploded violently, visible thunder arcs struck from both sides of the mountain forest towards the baggage troops, and dazzling electric lights fell on every astonished mountain soldier.
——Crack, crackle!
For a moment, the troops at the front of the baggage force seemed to have been hit by a thunderous cannonball. The personnel flew away in all directions. Among them, those who were not seriously injured were just rolling in the mud pit. Their bodies were dark, but they were not dead yet and could struggle to stand up.
, trying to figure out what was attacking him.
And those who were directly hit by the magnetic storm have been turned into coke.
Buzz-buzz--a series of blue electric lights lit up, and a huge black shadow emerged in the hazy rain and fog, making a harsh sound of electricity.
They were powerful power armors, two to seven meters tall, wrapped in dark green armor. There were two 'I'-shaped magnetic storm generators on both sides of the body, and the driver passed through a diving head.
Observe the outside world through a thick sight glass with a hood.
Blue electric light flashed next to the generator, and the dense rain caused the current to melt and pour to the ground, stimulating large swaths of charged mist.
Then, several power armors began to charge!
"Attack! Attack!" The officer immediately commanded the troops to fight back. Immediately, a continuous sound of bullets was fired. The bullet rain was like the heavy rain now, pouring towards these power armors - but they were all bounced off by the outer armor pieces.
Can't even leave even a little mark on it.
"Anti-impact armor?! Where did the inscription craftsman come from to install the etheric weapons on the power armor?!" When the officer saw this scene, he was shocked. He was shocked by the craftsman's amazing financial resources, and also by the enemy's fearlessness.
He was horrified by the terrifying defense: "Heavy firepower must be used - even the sublimated ones! Charge with me!"
He drew out the long sword from his waist, and the strong wind that was visible to the naked eye wrapped around the weapon.
The defensive power of the anti-impact armor is related to the alchemy furnace core. These power armors are not armor, and the alchemy furnace core loaded is definitely not large. With the strength of the officer, it is enough to break through the defense and cause fatal damage to the driver inside.
However, another swift figure sprang out, bringing with it a smooth wave of sword light.
"Your opponent is me!"
Qingchao laughed and ran forward. His figure was hidden behind the huge size of the magnetic storm armor, waiting for the moment when the mountain civilian officer tried to block the magnetic storm armor!
He held two swords in his hands. The family's sea-born sword and the wind-shifting sword given by Yin En shone brightly in the rain and fog. The stream of light brought up afterimages that kept changing their trajectory. The blue-haired swordsman looked like...
A sharp arrow shot from the string towards the mountain civilian officer.
How could the mountain officer have thought that such a master would ambush him? Before he could breathe, he could only block with his sword.
But his block was momentarily blocked by Qingchao's swift left-hand sword blow - and the swordsman's right-hand sword had already been slashed from the side.
The sea-born sword in the rain seemed to be stirring up a huge wave. It easily carried a water blade several meters long and slashed through the officer's left shoulder, and then cut it directly into two, causing the unlucky mountain civilian officer to die on the spot.
.
This is hand-to-hand combat - a matter of life and death in an instant.
Although Qingchao was jokingly called a second-level ordinary genius by Yin En, how could he be truly ordinary if he was called a genius by Yin En?
This sublimate, who comes from a poor family and has little education, can reach the peak of the first level just by practicing hard military swordsmanship, and can reach the second level with magic potion. He comes to fight against some people who only rely on blood.
Mountain civilian officers, this is really a dimensionality reduction attack.
"The first head."
Qingchao sheathed his sword. He didn't even pay much attention to the officer he killed. He just recited a number silently. This was his habit as a mercenary back then - because he had another target, which was that the two had already started because of the death of the commander.
Crazy moose monster.
"The second and third one will be coming soon."
He smiled and stepped forward without any hesitation - and immediately, the swordsman turned into a mist in the water and flew towards the mountain soldiers.
Also going with him were five pieces of magnetic storm armor.
The charge, led by Qingchao and dominated by the Magnetic Storm Armor, completely crushed the first and only wave of resistance from the mountain people's supply troops.
The thunderbolts crisscrossed between the teams, but could not harm the magnetic storm armors themselves. Qingchao dangerously shuttled through the arcs of electricity fired by friendly forces, and every time the sword light lit up, he was able to kill one mountain soldier after another who wanted to resist.
unstoppable.
They smashed the vanguard guarding the baggage, and then trampled all the supplies, food, grass and camp parts to pieces like angry bulls. The Warcraft Moose originally wanted to collide with the magnetic storm armor, but a sword light cleverly
After scratching its neck, a huge deer head fell to the ground.
In contrast, the huge target of the magnetic storm armor attracted almost all the firepower. They waved their thunder whips and whipped the food and grass supplies. In the flash of lightning, a fire in the heavy rain turned all the food into coke.
The earth is trembling and thunder is rumbling.
When the remaining mountain troops finally gathered together under the command of another officer and prepared to launch a real counterattack, the figures of the Magnetic Storm Armor and Qingchao had disappeared.
Hit and run - this was the strategy Yin En assigned them.
Only hit the first wave that catches you off guard, and destroy as many supplies as you can.
What they need to do is to raid the mountain people's supply troops again and again, so that the other party has to attack Lai'an City as soon as possible and fight Lai'an City decisively!
"The baggage troop was attacked?!"
When the mountain people headquarters led by Snake Yan learned the news, it was already an hour later.
The rainy day slowed down the pace of delivering news, and the skinny chief looked incredulous: "You mean, a team led by an Ascendant, with five knights wearing Ascension armor, completely defeated the baggage troops?"
"How is this possible! They had three teams of armed men! But they were overwhelmed by six people?"
Although he said he was so confused, he actually understood that this was normal - the Ascendant Swordsman at the head was obviously a bit too powerful, and the brand new, newly armed magnetic storm armor that appeared in Laian Ling was not even powerful on a rainy day.
It was so shocking that many soldiers were not directly electrocuted, but were paralyzed and shocked to the ground by the electric current erupted from the magnetic storm armor.
Some people drowned in the mud, some were trampled to death by armor, some were hit by last-ditch blows... The number of people who died in these weird ways was four to five times more than those who were directly electrocuted into coke.
Snake Yan's mind was spinning. He was not stupid. He immediately understood that this was a plot by the new lord of Lai'an City to urge him to launch an attack on Lai'an City. After destroying the baggage, the morale of the troops would be hit no matter what, and the camp and the
Supplies will be affected.
Even if they still have supplies that can be sent to the camp at the mouth of the gorge, it will still take time... Not to mention, if they could attack once before, why can't the opponent attack a second time?
Although Snake Yan didn't know how his troops' marching route was predicted, he had to treat it as reality and deduce it even if he just guessed it.
This is a conspiracy.
He must launch an attack immediately, because if this continues, when the soldiers really have to worry about food rations, Snake Yan will no longer be able to control the army as he does now.
Not only are the defeated mountain people unable to defeat Lai'an City, they may even be defeated by Lai'an City in turn!
"We all have the goal to come to Anseong!"
Without any hesitation, he announced in the loudest voice and asked the messenger to pass his command to the entire army: "Since the enemy has left us without food, then we will kill them all and steal their food to eat ourselves!"
"The food that comes to Anseong is our food!"
With such words of encouragement to his troops, Snake Yan has already sat in his armor.
As the signal bone was connected, the dark green Feiyandi fifth-generation marine armor stood up from the transport vehicle, and then came to the front of the team with a swiftness that is difficult for humans to understand: "Follow me to attack!"
The soldiers' panic was dispelled by the armor.
——Yeah, what if we come to Anseong and attack the baggage troops? Doesn’t this mean that the enemy is afraid of us?
As long as they launch an attack on Laian City, everything will be fine!
Rumble…
Above the sky, dark clouds rolled, and thick arcs of electricity flowed and rolled amidst violent roars, highlighting the power of nature.
At the top of the tower in Laian City, Yin En narrowed his eyes and stared at the slight flash of sword light in the distance.
"It seems that Qingchao is the most stable one." He murmured to himself, but laughed: "The commander of the mountain people is actually a smart man. Although it is said to be a full-scale attack, he is actually still very steadily
Push forward - if I really just plan to take advantage of the team to march in the rain and concentrate the military force for a surprise attack, then I have no choice but to face such an array."
"But this time it's different."
The young man raised his head, and under the incredulous eyes of Scott and the Laian City militiamen behind him, he raised his hand and pointed to the sky: "Because the sky is also helping us."
"Look. Thunder will be our weapon!"
Following Yin En's finger, a bolt of thunder suddenly exploded in the distant sky, crashed from mid-air, and hit the area that was most likely the mountaineer army.
Boom! A shining straight line appeared between heaven and earth, illuminating the dark world and stimulating everyone's hearts.
Obviously, the lightning trigger has begun to work.
Not just one.
The detonator light intertwined and fell.
For the marching mountaineers, all this was like a nightmare and unbelievable.
But for Laian City, this lightning that followed the guidance of his lord was as incredible as a miracle.
