Sikong Wu is not very old, but he has grown rapidly during this period. He is already as tall as a middle-aged man. He wears fine iron armor, rides a sixth-level monster silver-tusked giant elephant, and holds a cloud-splitting gun more than ten feet long. He was extremely powerful, and it didn't look like he was just a sixteen-year-old boy at all.
With Lei Meng¡¯s level of cultivation, ordinary armor has no effect on him, but will affect his movements. Therefore, he is still dressed like that, riding a winged horse on Sikong Wu¡¯s side. He looks like a dying old man.
The most eye-catching thing is Han Yun on the right of Sikong Wu. This guy was born with great strength. He wore a full-body armor that weighed six hundred kilograms. He looked as if he was weightless. He held two giant swords that were seven feet long in his hands, and he was riding a fifth-level demon beast Wu. The armored rhinoceros, like a giant spirit god, was obviously a head taller than the soldiers gathered below to prepare for battle!
Ren Zizhen was also under the city gate. When he saw Lei Meng and Sikong Wu arriving, he quickly stepped forward, bowed his hands to Sikong Wu and Lei Meng and said, "Sikong Xiaohou, Brother Lei, the manpower is ready."
Lei Meng nodded, and then said to Sikong Wu: "This time we are mainly searching for the team sent by the bandit coalition, so we don't need too many people. Thirty martial arts masters from Black Corner City and ten martial arts masters from our Qin Tian City will go with us. .¡±
Sikong Wu nodded and looked at the assembled martial artists. They were all in good spirits. Most of them were horses, and a few were mounts of other demonic beasts. However, whether they were horses or ferocious beasts, they were all good at speed. Those horses The ankles are thick, and the horse is very powerful, which cannot be compared with ordinary horses.
The silver-tusked giant elephant that Sikong Wu sat on was the best riding monster in the Hou Mansion. Although its speed was not amazing, it was far better than ordinary horses. Its greatest advantage was its strong skin and thick flesh, its astonishing weight-bearing capacity, and its extremely strong endurance. Even if it can carry a weight of more than a thousand kilograms and run at full strength all day and night, it is no problem. It is one of the most popular mounts on the battlefield. A tamed silver-tusked giant elephant cannot be bought without three hundred thousand taels of silver.
There are a lot of people coming to Qin Tiancheng, but most of them are first-level warriors, not many warriors. This time, ten people are dispatched, which is almost one-third.
To Sikong Wu's surprise, he discovered Qiu Lianshan, the second son of the Black Horn Marquis, among the crowd. Unexpectedly, he was so courageous that he actually dared to follow the team to fight. They had to know that if they were ambushed by the main force of the bandit coalition, the entire group would be gone. , I'm afraid not many can come back alive.
When Qiu Lianshan saw Sikong Wu looking towards him, he nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Brother Sikong, this time we fight side by side, why not compare who can kill more bandits!"
Sikong Wu frowned slightly. Most of the people who went out to fight were from Black Corner City, and Qiu Lianshan also followed them out. I'm afraid it would be difficult to command them.
Lei Meng had already discussed it with Ren Zizhen. Although Qiu Lianshan was here, the real commander was Lei Meng himself. He turned to look at Han Yun and Cao Yun, and said in a deep voice: "You should pay attention to protect the safety of the young master!"
¡°Then, he bowed his hand to Ren Zizhen, and without any nonsense, he lightly clamped the winged horse between his feet and took the lead in galloping away from the city.
On the battlefield, it was naturally impossible for Sikong Wu to act like the young marquis and follow Lei Meng.
More than thirty people came out one after another. Ren Zizhen ordered the city gate to be closed until everyone disappeared. His eyes were a little worried, but he was helpless. He ordered the sergeant to be careful in case the bandit coalition knew the news and took the opportunity to attack the fine iron mine. Then he went back to rest. For a while.
At the same time, Black Corner City quietly dispatched two teams to act separately.
Sikongwu and others had not gone ten miles away when they spotted a blue-eyed harrier circling overhead.
The trained Blue-Eyed Harrier can transmit information based on its flight movements. Qiu Lianshan took a brief look and shook his head and said: "This is not from our Black Corner City. It seems that the bandit coalition has already noticed our movements."
Lei Meng nodded, turned to Fan Ling next to him and said, "Can you get rid of this blue-eyed harrier?"
Fan Ling is the martial artist in Qin Tiancheng who is responsible for controlling the red-eyed eagles. Two red-eyed eagles are currently hovering over him. He thought for a moment: "There should be no problem, but if the bandit coalition is nearby, it may be difficult to conceal our whereabouts."
Lei Meng smiled: "I guess they already know that we are out. As long as we remove their eyes, it will not be easy to find our whereabouts."
Compared with the bandit alliance, Sikong Wu and others who have the Red-Eyed Eagle naturally take the initiative.
With Fan Ling's clear whistle, the two red-eyed eagles roared into the sky and quickly flew towards the blue-eyed harrier.
Although the Blue-eyed Harrier turned around and ran away when it saw the Red-eyed Eagle taking flight, its speed was almost twice as fast as that of the Red-eyed Eagle. Moreover, the two Red-eyed Eagles generally knew Xiao's tactics and attacked from the front and rear. The Blue-eyed Harrier did not fly four or five miles away before it was killed by the Red-eyed Eagle. 1?Snapped the neck.
During the chase, the Red-Eyed Eagle also discovered the movements of the bandit coalition, which was about ten miles away from Sikong Wu and the others. However, the vision of the bandit coalition was not as good as that of the Red-Eyed Eagle, and they did not know that the Blue-eyed Harrier was being captured and killed by the Red-Eyed Eagle, heading east. Go face to face.
The intelligence of the monster beasts is much higher than that of ordinary beasts. One of the red-eyed eagles flew back with a blue-eyed harrier. It chirped a few times and flapped its wings regularly, conveying the detected information.
Fan Ling got along with the two red-eyed eagles day and night, almost communicating with each other. He then said: "There is a group of bandits ten miles away to the east, about eighty to one hundred people, heading east. They should not have noticed us. whereabouts."
Qiu Lianshan was very familiar with the nearby terrain and said in a deep voice: "About twenty miles away from here in the east, there is a valley. Inside is Qingshu Village, where thousands of people live. Could it be that the target of the bandit alliance is there?"
He paused and then said: "According to the news from my father, the main force of the bandit coalition is still in Buning County. Do these dozens of bandits just want to capture Qingshu Village? The Qingshu Village The people are fierce and tough, and the place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we send people to seal the exit of the valley, these dozens of people may not be able to take it down."
Lei Meng was also very familiar with the surrounding situation. After all, he had lived in Qintian City for decades. He thought for a while and said, "If this is good, when they attack the stronghold, we can attack from behind and eat this powerful force." Bandit. The terrain near Qingshu Village is flat, so even if the bandit coalition really has an ambush, it can¡¯t be hidden from the eyes of Red Eyed Eagle."
Lei Meng made up his mind and asked people to speed up. As he walked, he said to Sikong Wu: "The Marquis told me that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and all tactics are based on the entire battle. When you are on the battlefield, the most important thing is to learn how to do it. Act accordingly. Although we are only fighting these bandits, the principle is similar to that of a large army."
Sikong Wu was stunned for a moment, wondering why Lei Meng suddenly mentioned this to him.
Lei Meng then lowered his voice and said: "On the surface, we have the initiative, but no one knows whether the bandit coalition will secretly hide the strong ones among them and lure us up. Little Marquis, remember, if among the bandits Without hiding strong men, the young Marquis can naturally fight the enemy and increase his combat experience. If he encounters an ambush, the young Marquis must remember not to hesitate and leave quickly under the protection of Han Yun and Cao Yun!"
Sikongwu also knew that Lei Meng was not joking. This was his first time to compete with others with real swords and guns. If he died under the enemy's swords and guns, Sikongwu could not guarantee that he would have a chance to do it again, so his face straightened. He nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lei, I know how to do it!"
Everyone¡¯s mounts were extremely fast, and it didn¡¯t take long for them to approach the bandit coalition, and the bandit coalition also arrived outside Qingshu Village at this time.
As expected, this bandit team of nearly a hundred people was preparing to capture Qingshu Village by force.
According to what they learned, many civilians nearby took refuge in the stronghold. There were more than 10,000 people inside, but most of them were ordinary civilians. There were not many martial artists in the stronghold. As for the hunter warriors, they lacked weapons to defend the city. For bandits, , is not much of a threat.
Unlike the regular army, the bandit coalition has specialized weapons and troops to attack cities and land. It originally did not want to capture Qingshu Village, but when the bandit coalition went to loot nearby two days ago, it was ambushed by the people of Qingshu Village. A dozen people lost their lives, and the remaining bandits had to retreat, which was the first time these bandits suffered a big loss.
When Peng Linyu, the iron-armed black ape, received the news, he was furious and immediately sent out thirty martial arts masters and more than fifty warrior bandits to wipe out the Green Tree Village from the territory of Black Horn City!
The way the bandits attacked was also simple, with no rules at all. Five or six warriors wearing light armor summoned soul beasts, and flew into the air holding several jars as big as water tanks, facing the hunting rifles shot by the people of Qingshu Village. With a sharp bow and arrow, he slammed down the jar in his hand.
The people in Qingshu Village don't actually want to provoke these bandits. However, the village that the bandits robbed two days ago is right next to Qingshu Village. Most of them are married to the people in Qingshu Village. The young and vigorous young man couldn't bear to watch the bandits slaughter his relatives. When the bandits captured the village, he fought out from behind. Not all the bandits were amazingly powerful. They were occupied by the people of Qingshu Village. Taking advantage, more than a dozen lives were lost.
The elders of Qingshu Village knew about this incident and could not rectify it, so they had to let the strong men in the village guard the gate of Gukou Village. Now when they saw the bandits coming, they immediately shot arrows to meet the enemy.
Except for a few third-level warriors and two fourth-level warriors, the rest of the people's hunting bows were basically unable to threaten the martial arts bandit who was flying in mid-air. They watched the jar smash down, and then the opponent fired rockets, and the black oil flowing out of the jar burned. Suddenly, dozens of people were burned by the sea of ??fire, causing a panic among the people of Qingshu Village!
BanditThe black oil from the coalition forces came out of the mountains. It is very easy to burn and difficult to extinguish. It also produces poisonous gas when burning. Although the bandits did not have special siege equipment, there were also people with outstanding strategies among them. I thought of this Ways to make up for their lack of siege.
Before everyone in Qingshu Village had time to extinguish the black oil flames, the bandits smashed down several jars of black oil. The village lacked the city-defending crossbow and the cloud-piercing divine crossbow, so it was basically defenseless against these martial arts masters with flying soul beasts.
The people in Qingshu Village saw a fire igniting in the village, and the wood and vines used to build the village gate were on fire. They had no choice but to retreat to the valley.
The leader of the bandit coalition was the sixth-grade soul-refining martial artist Xiong Wu. Seeing that he easily broke through the gate of Qingshu Village, he couldn't help but feel good. He laughed and said: "These little bugs actually dare to surround and kill our brothers. Let them know how powerful we are this time!¡±
"When we enter the village later, we will kill all the men. In addition, Brother Peng said that everything we grab belongs to us. There are tens of thousands of people here, so there must be a lot of good stuff!"
Sikong Wu and others were actually a mile away from these bandits. They were watching the bandits attacking Qingshu Village in a bamboo forest, but they were a little surprised: "Isn't this oil? I didn't expect the bandits to come up with something like this." Way to attack the stronghold!"
Although oil has many uses and is indispensable in the mechanical age, Sikong Wu did not graduate from a chemistry or engineering major. Even if oil was discovered, it would not be of much use. It was just an accident.
Lei Meng secretly observed for a while and did not find any special person among the bandits. Although the Martial Emperor could not see anything from the surface, Lei Meng was the Martial Emperor. If there really was a Martial Emperor hiding among them, he could always see some clues. .
As the fire subsided, the bandits drove their mounts and approached the entrance of the valley. Several flying martial artists, all armed with strong bows, continuously shot and killed the Qingshu Village people who were preparing to regain their position at the entrance of the valley.
The people in Qingshu Village are just full of enthusiasm, and the number of people cannot make up for the gap in strength. Even if some people rush to the mouth of the valley, they will face the bandits who are roaring in with armor on their bodies and riding various ferocious beasts. It only takes a moment. , two to three hundred people fell on the land less than thirty feet in radius at the mouth of the valley, and the blood flowing out dyed the soil dark red.
Although several bandits were torn off their mounts by the desperate Qingshu Village people and lost their lives, several third-level martial artists and two fourth-level martial artists with higher cultivation levels in Qingshu Village have been killed by the bandits, and the remaining The people of Qingshu Village below were unable to stop the bandits at all. They only managed to hold on for two or three sticks of incense before they were completely driven into the valley by the bandits.
However, the people in Qingshu Village are tough. Although they are extremely frightened, they also know that behind them are their parents, wives and children. Once they are killed by bandits into the village, it is no different from letting wolves into the flock of sheep. The robber rushed over and blocked the robber's steel torrent with his flesh and blood.
Although such a scene was nothing compared to a real battlefield, Sikong Wu's blood surged when he saw this tragic scene of slaughter. He felt extremely sad and angry in his heart, and he almost couldn't help but drive the silver-tusked giant elephant to kill him.
Lei Meng's calmness was not comparable to that of Sikong Wu, a rookie on the battlefield. He coldly watched the bandits killing with no expression on his face. It was not until all the bandits entered the valley that he waved slightly and said in a deep voice: "Attack! "
Sikong Wu had been waiting for these words for a long time. He had forgotten all about Lei Meng's previous instructions. His eyes and mind were filled with scarlet red. As the ground trembled slightly, the giant silver-tusked elephant, which was about one foot tall, took heavy steps. He quickly ran towards the entrance of Qingshu Village.
When Han Yun and Cao Yun saw Sikong Wu taking the lead in attacking, they quickly drove their mounts to follow him.
When Lei Meng saw Sikong Wu's appearance, he sighed slightly. Naturally, he would not let Sikong Wu be in danger alone. He had no choice but to slap the winged horse on its hindquarters and suddenly jumped out of the bamboo forest. With one finger of the sword in his hand, he led thirty elite martial artists to kill him. To Qingshu Village!
