The White Lotus sect did not stop outside the bamboo forest, but kept going forward after entering the bamboo forest. The sky was dim, and along the way they were loose outside and tight inside. The road in the bamboo forest was not very big, and the dense bamboos on both sides prevented people from seeing too far away.
Such a place is the best place to ambush, and their vanguard troops dare not enter through the bamboo forests on both sides.
Qingzhu Village has been operating a bamboo forest for many years, and there are traps everywhere in the bamboo forest. If a third-rate expert enters the bamboo forest, he may accidentally get into the way of Qingzhu Village.
Qingzhu Village relied on the surrounding traps and this sea of bamboo forest to stand tall on the northwest land for so long. If the owner of Qingzhu Village had not been too greedy, Qingzhu Village might have continued to exist.
Iron ore is really important to those forces outside the Northwest Pass. The weapons sold by the Great Wall Legion are of poor quality and expensive. Without them, he would not buy the weapons sold by the Great Wall Legion.
There are not many blacksmiths outside the Northwest Pass. As long as there is iron ore, they can make their own weapons. Now most of the big forces outside the Northwest Pass have their own iron mines.
Black Tiger City rose too late, and most of the resource points outside the Northwest Pass already had owners. Black Tiger City's desire for iron ore was higher than other forces.
When they set out, the intelligence department of the Holy Cult did not notice any movement in Black Tiger City. Apart from training every two months, there was no movement. They did not know that Black Tiger City did not know about the iron ore.
, and Black Tiger City has other plans.
No matter what happens in Black Tiger City, they need to get the iron mining area first. Even if Black Tiger City sends another army, the follow-up troops of the Holy Cult and other major forces will also arrive.
The White Lotus Sect is not the only force that wants to suppress Black Tiger City. The emergence of Black Tiger City has caused everyone to suffer too many losses.
Even if Black Tiger City Lord Black Tiger is promoted to a second-rate master, there will still be people suppressing him.
Zhao Wuyan listened to the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves on both sides, the drizzle falling in the sky, the water vapor permeating the entire bamboo forest, and a little spiritual energy coming from the air from time to time.
This bamboo forest is a treasure. After killing all the people in Qingzhu Village, you can leave some people and horses in the bamboo forest. Items such as spiritual bamboos and bamboo shoots are not cheap, and can become one of the income points of the holy religion.
"Sir, there is a letter from the spies ahead. The people in Qingzhu Village are actively building defenses. The city walls are full of people! Preliminary estimate is that there are more than 200 people!"
A subordinate ran to Zhao Wuyan and said.
Zhao Wuyan chuckled and looked at the bamboo forest on the left and right: "Speed up, let's rest in Qingzhu Village tonight!"
"yes!"
Everyone in the White Lotus Sect speeded up. Due to the rain and the bamboo forest, most of their white clothes were stained with a lot of mud, and they looked very embarrassed. In addition, it had just been winter and the weather was still a bit cold.
What they want to do most now is to warm themselves around the stove, eat something, and then have a good sleep.
In their eyes, Qingzhu Village is an easy-to-get copycat. Even if Qingzhu Village was in its heyday, they didn't pay attention to how powerful a small copycat village could be.
As for the Xiliang camp, this is a place that cannot even be found. Every year, several more cottages appear outside the Northwest Pass. No one will know about this cottage unless they are visited one after another for three to five years.
The Xiliang camp should belong to this kind of force.
When Li Xiang walked through the bamboo rafts, everyone in the White Lotus Sect had put down their guard. Many people carried their weapons on their backs without paying much attention to the surrounding environment.
Wiping the rain off his face, he saw that more than 300 people from the White Lotus Sect had all entered the ambush circle. Li glanced at the soldiers beside him, and the archer picked up the longbow, half of the bamboo raft missing.
Twenty-three steps away was within the attack range of the archers. Li Xiang held the iron halberd and bowed his body.
boom!
There was a dull sound, and the long arrow passed through several bamboos, accurately hitting the White Lotus disciple who was walking forward.
As soon as this arrow hit, when the White Lotus disciples felt something was wrong, countless long arrows were fired from both sides.
"Enemy attack!"
The leader shouted, and a long arrow flew towards him. The true energy in his body burst out and blocked the long arrow. The leader's face turned pale. The sudden burst of true energy caused great damage to the veins in his body, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
The White Lotus sect members reacted and waved their weapons to block the long arrows fired from both sides. Zhao Wuyan was holding a sharp long sword and his face was extremely ugly.
Archer!
There are actually archers in Qingzhu Village. Archers need a long time of training, otherwise even if they get bows and arrows, they can only shoot long arrows.
The long arrows sent at them were not fired at random. The other party aimed at the target and then fired at them.
Three rounds of arrow rain fell, and nearly a hundred people from the White Lotus Sect fell.
"kill!"
Li Xiang shouted, kicked the bamboo raft in front of him, and launched a flying general attack. The target was the leader of the White Lotus Sect, a third-rate master.
The spearmen maintained their formation and rushed out. The swordsmen mixed in with the spearmen. The two rushed out of the bamboo forest together. The White Lotus cultists ignored their fallen companions and raised their swords to kill the Xiliang soldiers who rushed out of the bamboo forest.
They came to the spearmen aggressively and were dumbfounded for a moment when faced with the long and sharp spears. The spearmen on the other side also rushed out and pressed the White Lotus soldiers into the middle.
"prick!"
The captains of each team of spearmen shouted loudly, and the spearmen thrust forward uniformly.
The weapons in the hands of the White Lotus Sect are all swords and other weapons. They are powerless and unable to use them against spear soldiers.
This is the first time that everyone in the White Lotus Sect has encountered such a situation. In the past, when they went out to fight, didn't both sides rush in to fight in a swarm to see if the other side couldn't hold it back first?
The spearmen were very patient and kept pace with the enemy. The archers behind them fired from time to time, looking for the target before shooting.
The number of people in the White Lotus Sect was decreasing little by little. When several leaders saw that this was not going to work, they immediately organized a dozen masters to attack the spearmen.
Each of these dozen masters swung a few blades of sword energy to cut a hole through the Xiliang soldiers. If the White Lotus Sect soldiers were allowed to break into the spear soldiers' square formation, based on the cultivation level of the White Lotus Sect soldiers, they would surely
Can kill a lot of spearmen.
The swordsmen mixed in the spearmen's phalanx took action, and they surrounded the enemies who came in. The spearmen concentrated on dealing with the enemies in the front, and let them attack the enemies who entered the formation.
The three arms of Xiliang each performed their own duties, strangling the White Lotus Sect troops one by one. On the other side, Li Xiang brought the power of the charge and smashed Zhao Wuyan away with a halberd.
Zhao Wuyan stopped leaning against a bamboo, the hand holding the long sword trembling slightly, and Li Xiang's domineering force hit his hand numb.
On both sides of him were two guards with the same third-rate cultivation level as him, and all three of them were in the early stages of third-rate cultivation.
