These words can be heard in various ears and have various meanings. People in Dachan Mountain don't know whether they should take these words seriously.
Although Huang Lie wished that Niu Youdao would not move to Fucheng, he felt that the other party's words were more like angry words. He pressed his hands together and said, "Brother, why do you have to say angry words? I really have no other intention. Please come to my Dazen Mountain to practice real life."
This is for my brother’s safety, so don’t be disturbed by rumors.”
Niu Youdao: "Just because it may be a rumor, we can't let anyone succeed. If I invited Dachanshan to come to Nanzhou, I would like to reiterate to the emperor in front of everyone that Dachanshan can rest assured. Nanzhou
The profits will go to Dachan Mountain, I will never take even half of it, I will only keep what I deserve, and I will never make any further progress in Nanzhou!"
If you say something like this in front of everyone, no matter whether it is true or not, the group of people in Dachanshan will naturally feel comfortable hearing it.
Huang Lie sighed: "I naturally believe what I said, no need to reiterate, I trust you."
Niu Youdao: "I say this because I hope Dachanshan will abide by its promise and not push me into a desperate situation in Nanzhou!"
Huang Lie said sternly: "Why are you forced into a desperate situation? Dachanshan naturally keeps his word, and he will work with my brother to maintain the current situation in Nanzhou."
Although everyone who knows well knows that Dachanshan may not believe everything Niu Youdao said, and Dachanshan may not be true to his words in the future. They are all compromised by the current situation. It is a wise saying that a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. In the end, one of them must subdue the other.
, one party must prevail over the other party before Nanzhou can calm down, but for now, both parties still have to talk nicely to appease the other party.
…
In the mountain forest, Fei Changliu looked solemn as he looked at the disciples who were ambushing them in the forest according to usual drills. The front line had actually shrunk to the last level.
In the past, most of the drills were conducted on the periphery of this area, but now they have reduced their manpower to the edge of the core area and abandoned peripheral defense.
"There seems to be movement underground!" Wu Shaohuan on the side suddenly made a warning sound.
Bang! A piece of soil at the foot of the mountain suddenly collapsed, and a group of people and horses rushed out. It was the surrounding defense troops and horses, causing everyone a false alarm.
Before all the Liuxian Sect disciples could realize what was going on, banging sounds continued one after another. The soil was pushed down continuously at the foot of the mountain, and holes appeared one after another. People and horses rushed out one after another, gathering at the foot of the mountain like a tide.
Fei Changliu and others were stunned. When did so many tunnels get dug underground? There seemed to be a lot more people and horses.
What's important is that most of the troops who rushed out were carrying various equipment.
As soon as the men and horses came out, various scattered equipment were quickly assembled and assembled. Siege crossbows as big as carriages were quickly assembled under the eyes of Liuxian Sect disciples, and their movements were extremely skillful.
The men and horses who appeared later continued to run out carrying fine steel spears, and they were placed in piles next to the siege crossbows. Several people who assembled the siege crossbows kicked and pulled the thick bow strings with their hands. Five fine steel long
The spears are wired together to form a group. Once fired, the five steel spears can be shot out together.
Three siege crossbows were in a group, placed in the front, middle and back. In this sequence, they were almost densely packed all the way to the foot of the mountain.
People from Liuxian Sect have seen the defenders training this thing, but they didn’t expect that there are so many siege crossbows hidden here. How much does it cost? The rows of strung steel spears with a cold light are eye-catching.
My heart felt cold.
This thing can be shot through the city wall. It is a heavy weapon used in sieges. It can suppress the defenders at the top of the city and allow the siege soldiers to climb up the city with the help of the steel spears inserted into the city wall. If this shot is
It's still possible in humans.
In fact, the local defenders themselves did not know that there were so many siege crossbows hidden here. Yuan Gang had been secretly managing these a long time ago. He drew the disassembled components and asked the craftsmen to make each component strictly according to the specifications, and secretly stored it in
In the secret passage, you can take it out and piece it together at any time once it is needed. Usually, only a small amount is given to the defenders for training.
Behind the siege crossbow, a phalanx of men and horses was arranged, all of which were archers. After arranging the formation, they drew arrows from their quivers one by one, put on the bowstring, and did not draw it yet, with the arrow pointing down, facing
Waiting for military orders ahead.
Several people flashed over from the forest, and Yuan Gang and others who had patrolled the area arrived. Chen Bo took Yuan Gang's arm and flew over.
As soon as Fei Changliu met Yuan Gang, he immediately asked: "What on earth is going on?"
"Someone wants to take advantage of us." Yuan Gang left behind a few words and walked towards Su Jieren, the commander of the garrison in charge of this place.
Su Jieren, who was directing the formation, saw Yuan Gang coming and immediately raised his hands in greeting, "Master Yuan."
The two of them are old acquaintances of each other and have known each other for a long time. It was he who accompanied Yuan Gang to Nanshan Temple to deliver the letter. Now his status has already risen along with the Shang Dynasty Clan and he has become the commander of the entire army.
It was also Yuan Gang's intention to let Su Jieren guard this place.
"Are you all ready?" Yuan Gang asked.
"Everything is ready. Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, even if a million troops come, with these guys here, they won't be able to break through our defense for a while!" Su Jieren confidently pointed to the rows of siege crossbows, and immediately
He felt a little regretful, "It's a pity. It's a bit troublesome to go out with the army."
Yuan Gang understood what he meant. Even if the components of so many siege crossbows were disassembled and transported, it would still be a heavy burden. The large number of steel spears alone was not a small burden. Carrying it over short distances was okay, but long-distance marches relied on manpower.
It is too much to bear. It is difficult to transport without a very strong transport capacity, which will greatly delay the march of the army.
Yuan Gang: "Didn't you alert the enemy?"
Su Jieren: "Probably not. There are hundreds of people patrolling around as usual. There is no clue from the outside."
As soon as he received the news from Yuan Gang, he immediately ordered the execution according to the preview plan without any hesitation.
Fei Changliu came over and asked again: "Who wants to take advantage of us?"
"I'm not sure yet, I'm just just in case." Yuan Gang told the truth.
In fact, we don't know the opponent's situation here, so Niu Youdao made preparations just in case.
Niu Youdao predicted that there were only three possibilities for killing him in this heavily defended place.
The first is to use secretive means to assassinate him, such as poisoning, which is almost impossible. His consumption is handled and carefully inspected by dedicated personnel.
The second is to directly airdrop masters into the villa to attack and kill them.
The third is to send a large number of troops to attack forcefully. The layout in front of you is to prevent this attack. It must be blocked by the outer defense line to avoid causing chaos inside.
As long as you guard against the third point, you can rest assured about the second point. The reason is very simple. It is difficult to invest too many flying mounts and airdrop too many masters.
Fei Changliu looked back at the accompanying elders on his left and right, everyone, you look at me, I look at you.
Everyone is not stupid, and they have some guesses in their minds. The person who took action here is most likely the imperial court, and the target is also very likely Niu Youdao.
Yuan Gang said again: "Master Fei, the troops here are limited. In order to maximize the blocking effect, I have removed the shield protection phalanx set up in the front row, so I would like to ask disciples from the three sects to set up defenses in front of the siege crossbow to prevent arm strength.
The powerful monks threw sharp weapons to counterattack to prevent the other party from disrupting our attack formation. In addition, it is very laborious to wind up the siege crossbow, so I would like to ask the disciples of the three sects for help to speed up the shooting."
In fact, there are quite a lot of troops. For reasons of protecting cattle, Shang Chaozong simply set up this area as a major garrison area. There are a full 50,000 troops. Isn't that still a few?
At this time, can Fei Changliu say no? He didn't know any news before, and he didn't even have any preparations. Now he doesn't dare to confront Niu Youdao at this juncture. He can only nod his head and turn around to let others know.
Give the order quickly.
He also knows that when it comes to large-scale battles, these people here are not as good as them.
The Liuxian Sect disciples immediately came down one after another and blended into the attack formation to cooperate.
Although they cooperated, the personnel were chaotic and unorganized, and their positions were sparse. Yuan Gang frowned slightly, but did not say anything. He also knew that these people faced this situation and could not compare with the troops who trained every day.
"Go and tell Mr. Tao that the perimeter defense line is ready." Yuan Gang turned around and said to Zhu Laoba, who immediately turned back.
…
On the top of the mountain opposite the official road, more than a dozen large birds gathered, and hundreds of monks gathered at the same time. Ga Miaoshui and Gao Shaoming stood together and witnessed a large group of Feihua Pavilion monks rushing out of the forest below, flying one after another, rising and falling, rushing towards the mountain.
After passing the official road, we rushed towards the defensive position on the side of Maolu Villa.
The sentry guard on the lookout tower, which was an important defensive area, noticed the sudden arrival of a large number of monks. Someone immediately pulled the rope under the watch tower clock and made a "dang-dang" sound.
The patrol team below immediately turned around and ran away, hiding in the corners of the house.
Su Renjie gave an order before leaving. Once an enemy attack was discovered, all one had to do was call the police and hide immediately without resistance.
He also knew that for those who dared to attack here, relying on those left behind to resist would be tantamount to death.
The troops from Feihua Pavilion and Zhenling Academy surrounded and attacked from all sides at the same time. Cao Yu'er, who led some disciples to attack from the front, shouted: "Ignore it!"
A large group of monks roared past the sky, ignoring the soldiers running below. This was not their goal. They were raiding the thatched villa, not entangled with these small soldiers.
Yuan Gang, who was standing on the top of the mountain and observing the front, noticed a large number of figures flying past in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Here they come, Su Renjie, it's up to you, stop them!"
Su Renjie, who had a taut face, didn't talk nonsense. He drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed forward.
The trumpeter on the side immediately picked up the horn, puffed up his cheeks and blew a dull horn sound.
A creaking sound echoed at the foot of the mountain. All the bows in the archer camp were raised, the bow strings were stretched, and the arrow points were pointed upward.
Beside a large number of siege crossbows, each soldier wielded a large wooden hammer, ready to hammer and fire at any time.
Fei Changliu and others who were standing next to Yuan Gang had a sullen face. They all saw that there were more than a few monks coming. The number of figures that could be seen by sight alone probably exceeded the number of disciples of the entire Liuxian Sect. They were all in a mood.
heavy.
Cao Yu'er, who was flying all the way, also noticed something was wrong. He spotted some soldiers running away from the outside. After going deeper, he didn't see a single person.
Even though it was a surprise attack, the purpose was to catch the opponent off guard, but there was no big reaction from this defensive area, which still made her feel a little abnormal.
After crossing a hill, the doubts in her heart were answered. The men and horses waiting at the foot of the mountain suddenly appeared in her sight. She was shocked. Was the opponent prepared?
