Four hundred and twentieth chapters dungeon dark warehouse
Chapter 424 Dungeon Secret Warehouse
No! Something happened to the secret warehouse in the dungeon, right? Xu Lengzhi suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Without saying a word, he stood up abruptly and strode into the cave.
He just opened the first stone door and felt a wave of heat rushing towards him. Although there was no smoke in the corridor, the temperature was frighteningly high. Oh no! Xu Lengzhi screamed secretly and trotted along the stairs of the corridor.
Go down to the inner end of the corridor.
The further inside he went, the higher the temperature became. After walking up this flight of steps, his single clothes were soaked with sweat.
He wanted to open the second stone door, but as soon as his palm touched the wall, he screamed as if he had been electrocuted, and he hurriedly pulled it back. Looking at his palm again, he saw that it was very red and swollen. It was from the wall.
Hot and hot.
Xu Lengzhi didn't have time to check the burns on his palms, emitted spiritual energy, covered the spiritual armor, then touched the mechanism again and opened the second stone door.
As soon as the stone door was opened, as if a gate had been opened, thick smoke surged out and instantly flooded the corridor. Xu Lengzhi was not prepared and was choked by the sudden thick smoke. The old man stepped back.
He took two steps, bent over in pain, and coughed repeatedly. The guards behind covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, rushed to Xu Lengzhi, and shouted loudly: "General, it's in danger, get out quickly!"
He still wanted to push everyone around him away, but the violent coughing made him unable to exert any strength. He allowed the guards to help him out of the corridor, and at the same time said intermittently: "Hurry up and call someone to put out the fire."
The guards grinned secretly, how to save the fire?
If the secret warehouse was in an open place, it would be okay, but the secret warehouse goes deep underground and has to pass through this long corridor. At this time, the inside is full of thick smoke, and people can't even breathe. How can we talk about putting out the fire?
Regardless of whether the fire in the secret warehouse can be extinguished, people still have to do what needs to be done. The guards organized manpower, covered their faces with sweat towels, carried buckets, and charged into the corridor like a death squad.
However, it was impossible to see in the corridor and could not open their eyes. People could only pour the water out of the bucket based on their feelings. It is not known whether the water in the bucket was poured into the dungeon.
It can be said that rescuing a fire in a dark warehouse is several times more difficult than rescuing a fire in an open warehouse. Even if there are more people fighting the fire, they can only file in one after another when entering the corridor, and the water brought in may not be able to pour it.
In this case, how could the fire in the dark warehouse be extinguished?
One night, the two granaries carefully arranged by Xu Lengzhi in Bufeng City both caught fire. What was terrible was that the fires in both the light and dark warehouses could not be controlled. Looking at the out-of-control fire and smelling the smell of burnt grain,
People are all anxious, but there is nothing they can do.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the fire in the two granaries gradually weakened, but similarly, most of the grain stored in the two granaries was burned. Even if there was some left, it was burned black and charred.
It is no longer suitable for human consumption.
In just one day, Xu Lengzhi, who was anxious to get angry, suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years. The old man's face lost its original rosiness, his eyes also lost their sparkle, a layer of blisters appeared on his lips, and even his hair looked dull.
Much grayer.
What does one rely on to defend the city? The first is combat power, and the second is food. Without food, no matter how strong the combat power is, it is just a castle in the air and cannot last long. Xu Lengzhi is well aware of the stakes. Two granaries were destroyed at the same time, and he
How can we not get angry in a hurry?
Regarding Chen Zhong who had neglected his duties, Xu Lengzhi did not even hesitate and immediately ordered his execution. As for Jiang Song and Ding Youchun, who were also suspected of dereliction of duty, Xu Lengzhi was generous and gave them a prison sentence.
Level three, and deposed the two men from their titles to see what the consequences will be.
Although the delinquent generals were severely punished, it did not help the overall situation. The situation in Bufeng City took a turn for the worse in an instant, from the original easy defense to a precarious situation, and panic began to spread rapidly among the entire army.
Losing the stored food and grass meant that the soldiers lost their backbone. People in the Mo army were in panic, as if a disaster was imminent.
This sudden change completely disrupted Xu Lengzhi's plan. He originally wanted to stick to Bufeng and bring down the Fengyu coalition, but now that there is no food reserve, sticking to Bufeng has become a dead end, and Xu Lengzhi can only be forced to change
The tactics changed from 'active defense' to 'passive breakout'.
However, it is not easy for Mo Jun to break out now.
The fire in Bufeng City gave a clear signal to the wind troops outside the city. The king lurking in the city has succeeded in a sneak attack. Now that Bufeng City has become a desperate situation, the hundreds of thousands of Mo troops inside will never sit still and wait for death. The only way out is to break out.
.
The Fengyu coalition no longer attacked Bufeng, but held the camp and deployed camp defenses to prepare for the Mo army's breakout.
Sure enough, two days after Bufeng's granary was burned down, late at night, Xu Leng's troops divided into two groups, one heading south and one heading north, attacking from both sides and breaking through separately.
Xu Lengzhi's arrangement was also very clever. The wave that broke out to the south had fewer troops, only about 100,000, while the wave that broke out to the north was the main force and was led by him personally.
Judging from the current battle situation, the north is the place captured by the Feng Army. Judging from the psychology of the Feng Army, it is impossible for the Mo Army to break out to the north. The most likely direction to break out is to the east or south.
Xu Lengzhi took advantage of the Feng army's psychology and sent out one hundred thousand soldiers to make a false appearance of breaking out to the south, attracting the attention of the Fengyu coalition to the south. Then he led the main force to break out from the north.
Such an arrangement may lead to the annihilation of the entire 100,000-strong Momo army, but at least it can ensure the survival of the main force, which is worthwhile.
However, Xu Lengzhi knows how to calculate carefully and think reversely, but the generals on the Feng Army's side are not free, especially Xiao Muqing, the head coach of the Pingyuan Army, who is experienced and cunning. He is better than a monkey on the battlefield and has a lot of control over his own side.
If he takes the initiative, how can he leave a loophole for the enemy?
When the main force of the Mo army broke through to the north, they happened to encounter the Ninth Army arranged by Xiao Muqing in the North Camp.
The Ninth Army had suffered heavy losses at the hands of Xu Lengzhi, losing countless soldiers and generals. His deputy commander Shi Lexuan also died tragically in front of the two armies. Qi Heng had already hated Xu Lengzhi deeply, and now he finally got the chance to take revenge.
, how can he let it go?
When the main force of the Mo army began to attack the northern camp of the Feng army, Qi Heng directly ordered the camp gate to be opened, and the entire Ninth Army went out to fight.
The soldiers of the Mo army tried their best to force open the camp gate of Feng camp, but Feng army took the initiative to open the gate, and then the heavily armored cavalry rushed out from inside.
There was no formal battle between the two sides. Just the moment the heavy cavalry rushed out, all the soldiers of Mo Mo outside the camp gate were trampled to death.
Qi Heng took the lead, holding a nine-turn soul-breaking knife, and took the lead into the Mo army's camp. He was really like a red-eyed god of death, forcibly opening a three-meter-wide bloody path as he walked past.
Qi Heng was brave and unstoppable, and the soldiers of the Ninth Army behind him also did their part and ran rampant in the Mo army camp, killing the soldiers in front of the Mo army until they cried for their mothers and fled in all directions.
Soon, Qi Heng, who was eager to kill, came face to face with Xiang Wen, a fierce general in Mo's army.
In the chaotic battlefield where people were shouting to kill each other, there was no unnecessary nonsense between the two of them, and they immediately fought together. This was a point-to-point battle, and it was also a duel between top-level light-type spiritual cultivators.
.
As soon as the fight started, the two of them showed off their spiritual martial arts skills. For a moment, the place where they were was filled with flying sand and rocks, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and ghosts were crying and gods howling. It was really scary.
Based on the martial arts of the two of them, it would be difficult to tell the difference even if they fought for a whole day, but the battle between the soldiers below has already revealed the superior and inferior.
Although the Mo army had a large number of troops, they were like grass in front of the heavy cavalry. Groups of Mo soldiers were pushed to the ground by the heavy cavalry, and then they could never get up again. They were beaten by groups of soldiers.
The cavalrymen were trampled alive into a pulp.
The Ninth Army was outnumbered, but it was completely dominant on the scene. This greatly boosted the morale of the Feng Army. Following the Ninth Army, the Feng National Infantry Corps headed by Shangguan Yuanrang also fought back from the camp and fought with the heavy armor.
The cavalry cooperated and jointly launched a countercharge against the Mozambican army.
The more than 500,000 Mo troops, under the counterattack of more than 200,000 Feng troops, not only had no advantage at all, but also fell into complete passivity. In the end, Xu Lengzhi judged that it would be difficult to achieve anything in this battle, so he had to order,
The rear team became the front team, and all soldiers retreated into the city.
After a fierce fight, the Mo army failed to break through the Feng army's camp. Instead, they were killed by the Feng army and returned to Bufeng city.
On the other side, the Mo army, which broke out to the south to attract the attention of the Fengyu coalition, was even worse. One hundred thousand soldiers went out, but only less than 50,000 people escaped. The rest either died in the Feng camp.
Otherwise, he will either be captured alive by the Fengyu Allied Forces.
After this battle, Xu Lengzhi basically gave up his plan to break out. Without the crossbows, his own side could not restrain Feng State's heavy cavalry at all. In front of the heavy cavalry, Mo State's infantry were as fragile as straw and could only be slaughtered.
There is no way to fight back.
Even Xiang Wen, who was so powerful in Lingwu, had no confidence at all at this time and felt that his side was really in danger in this battle.
When the Mo army broke through, Tang Yin, Cheng Jin, Letian and others who were lurking among the Mo army had a chance to escape back to their camp, but their identities were not revealed, so Tang Yin did not choose to escape.
, but continue to lurk, looking for opportunities to take advantage of, and then help our own soldiers.
This time the Mo army failed to break through, and the atmosphere in Bufeng City became even more depressed. The Mo army soldiers were lifeless and had no fighting spirit, and people even gradually began to think of surrendering.
Xu Lengzhi, who was so good at strategizing, was at his wits' end at this moment. Now he was in a dilemma. If he insisted on holding on, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would probably die in Bufeng. If he wanted to save the lives of the soldiers, it seemed that the only way was to save them.
