Volume 1 Chapter 5

In the night, there are more than 20 people sitting in a grotto where many oil lamps are lit.

On the highest platform of the grottoes, there is a large golden chair. Although it is not pure gold, it is only brass, but because of its size and height, it is also very dignified.

Under this chair, there are two rows of black iron chairs. No matter the gold and yellow chairs or the top of the cave above these black iron chairs, long curtains are hung down, which makes the grottoes more profound sense of hierarchy, and even brings the solemn and deep breath of the temple.

In the center of the golden chair is a middle-aged man in a dark green robe and a black jade crown, who looks extremely violent and cold.

Before the stop, more than 20 people on the middle-aged man's next big black iron chair had fallen into a fierce quarrel for one thing. Until now, the fierce quarrel was not over, but it became more and more intense. The whole grotto was full of loud waves, and the curtain was slightly fluttering because of these waves.

The middle-aged man looked on coldly for a few stops in front of him. Until then, a sneer appeared on his face.

"What are you afraid of?"

He opened his mouth and said sarcastically, "it's just a Book of summoning surrender, but today you find some traces of the enemy. Are you afraid of this?"

The sound in the whole grotto suddenly stopped, and more than 20 people wearing iron gray leather armor on the black iron seat closed their mouths. Looking at this middle-aged man with a fierce and cold face, some chills appeared in his eyes.

"I'm not palace Pavilion Jue."

The middle-aged man with a black jade crown spoke out and said the third sentence.

The whole grotto became more quiet, so quiet that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

"Even Gu Yunjing, who owns the black flag army, can't help me. Do you still need to be afraid of a woman who only knows how to kill indiscriminately?"

The middle-aged man looked at everyone below indifferently and sneered: "afraid she might be a saint?"

"Even if it is a saint, let alone a saint, even ten saints, what is that?"

"As long as you can't attack, you don't have to be afraid Don't forget who has spent 20 years in business here. If you are afraid, you are insulting my hard work! Insult my ability! "

The middle-aged man's cold and violent voice began to sound like waves in the grottoes.

Hearing this, people on all the black iron seats are more chilly, but most of them can't help but question and attack. How about going out and still afraid of the murderer? Don't you have to be afraid?

It seems to know what these people think in their hearts. The irony on the middle-aged man's face is stronger. "You have been with me for a long time, but you still can't help the wall like mud It's very difficult to deal with this woman. You don't know the transportation route of some food and grass of the dragon and snake side army. Tomorrow, we will send someone out to rob a grain carrier from the border army. "

"Robbing the frontier army grain truck?!"

As soon as the middle-aged man uttered this sentence, many people on the black iron seat below were shocked by their facial movements. Because for them, it's like jumping into a pit of fire.

"Why, someone else doesn't understand?"

The middle-aged man sneered: "these years, the border army is not willing to pay too much to encircle and suppress here, so I have the ability to arrange this place as an invincible place We haven't crossed the border line in these years. But just because we have never done such a thing, will the frontier army think of us for the first time? "

"Now in this dragon and snake side army, which branch of the bandits is the most famous and the most unscrupulous?"

"The dragon and snake side army will naturally think of the thousands of people led by this woman, and will naturally bring anger to them. That woman is stronger than the dragon and snake side army? "

"At the end of the day, even if the dragon and snake side army finds something to do with us, it still can't attack us, and it's still impossible to attack us. Your eyes need to look far away. Don't forget that Yunqin is fighting in the south at the moment. How can we drown us with bodies? "

"On the whole border, other roving bandits are roving bandits. But here, we are a country. This is the biggest difference The southern expedition of Yunqin is the best time for us to grow stronger. In the future, there will be opportunities for us to become king and worship each other Are you still afraid of such a woman? "

The voice of indifference and majesty vibrated in the grotto.

Among all the next sincere answers and praises below, the middle-aged man with a black jade crown is extremely dignified and confident, looking out of the window on one side of the cave.

He really deserves that confidence.

Because he was Guo Dongshen, the most powerful bandit leader in the east of Yunqin.

Outside the cave window, there is a very high and steep precipice.

In the lower part of the precipice, only some low mountain trees and some weeds grow on the precipice. Only in the upper part of the precipice, from the top, there are some rattan with thick and thin fingers.

There are many caves in the setting of rattan.

Many caves are deep and mysterious, and some of them can be seen with cold reflection of gold and iron.

At the top of the precipice, you can see the wide and thick stone walls, with turrets, and many black shadows of large ordnance.

It's not just this side.

Almost all the three sides of the mountain are like this. Only one side of the mountain is slightly inclined, and an artificial mountain path has been dug which only allows two people to stand side by side at the same time, and is so steep that they can't get down and can't stand stably at all.

The steep mountain path cut out from the cliff is the only way to the upper part of the mountain.

But even so, the mountain road is still cut into a section by more than ten watchtowers built on the steep mountain.

This place is Aojiao mountain in the dragon snake mountain range.

Dragon and snake side army's eyesore, but still have to open one eye and close one eye, only when there is no place. Lin Xi said frankly to Chi Xiaoye and all the caves that he and Nangong Weiyang, Zhantai shallow Tang could not attack at all.

……

The battles between the practitioners, between the army and the practitioners, and between the army and the army are quite different.

Guo Dongshen himself is a senior general of Yunqin army who has committed a serious crime, so he knows exactly what the difference is.

For the Garrison Army, even the strong of the holy divisions, the advantage is only between three and four hundred steps.

Because many powerful sword masters can only resist the sword by three or four hundred steps. Some top masters can resist the sword by five hundred steps or even nearly a thousand steps. The farther away the flying sword is from the body, the more terrifying the soul power it consumes.

So when he started to run Aojiao mountain twenty years ago, the layout and defense works that Guo Dongshen did were able to keep the holy teachers away from four or five hundred steps.

The defensive offensive at the beginning of half a mountain is more than 800 steps from the bottom of the mountain.

At the beginning of the 800 step cliff, Guo Dongshen arranged a large number of rolling trees and falling stones.

The weight of these rolling trees and falling stones is more than one thousand jin. They are fixed with leather ropes. When someone wants to rush the mountain, they can be cut off quickly.

I'm afraid that even the holy master would only think of dodging, not hard joining, especially when climbing on the cliff.

In the next two decades, Guo Dongshen spent countless efforts to arrange more than 200 various Yunqin style crossbows and more fixed type winch crossbows.

At the top of the cliff, Guo Dongshen also arranged dozens of stone throwing vehicles.

Not only that Guo Dongshen even invented a kind of slide wheel.

At the end of the slide was a carriage like carriage, piled up with many sharp stones, the head of which was all sharp blades.

After the block is removed and the slide is shaped, the speed of this kind of edge car when it rushes out of the cave will be amazing. It can fall thousands of steps under the mountain at the farthest, and the falling distance of the slide car can be controlled by adjusting the starting height of the slide car.

After arranging so many powerful ordnance, even if not those archery towers, not the throwing of more than 3000 bandits, the whole Aojiao mountain, if let Lin Xi describe it, is just like a space fortress with countless guns.

Anyway, for Lin Xi, even if it's to make a huge hot-air balloon, it's impossible for him to learn how to hear the moon falling from the sky.

Because the mountain is too high and the wind is too strong to land, we can't say that there are so many self-made catapults like the city guarding catapults on the top of the mountain, which can easily shoot things floating in the air into powder.

Just as you want to kill a saint, the best way is to kill it with more saints.

The best way to break through the fortress built by such heavy weapons is to use powerful weapons.

But the terrain of the dragon snake mountain itself is rugged, and under the dangerous peak of Aojiao mountain, there is still a "turtle back mountain", which is like a terrace, with two gradients.

In this way, I'm afraid there is no large-scale ordnance in the world, which can be directly bombed to the Aojiao mountain. However, it is not difficult for the bandits on Aojiao mountain to go down, because there is a precipice below which is an extremely wide and foggy primitive canyon. Guo Dongshen set up countless winches and hanging blue on this cliff, which can let people up and down. And the Yunqin military is afraid to send tens of thousands of troops at the same time, and can not completely block the original canyon.

This is the reason why Guo Dongshen has devoted all his plunder, money and energy to the fortifications in the past 20 years.

For him, this is always a country, an unbreakable country.

Therefore, he despised the previous solicitation and threat of Nangong Weiyang, and completely ignored the most powerful exile in the eastern border.

Because there is such a very solid foundation, because of the southern expedition of Yunqin, he also has greater ambition.

However, just as the violent and cold man looked at the clouds outside the cave confidently, he smelled a bloody breath.
