General Fang decided to set up an ambush position under the city. Shan Liwen led a group of body refiners, carried the crossbows, crossbow arrows, and fire bottles, and approached the west side of the North City barracks. In the darkness, he loaded the crossbows and adjusted the attack direction. .
The body refiners had their guesses, but no one asked them. They all looked serious and were on guard, even breathing as much as possible.
Other body refiners who were keeping watch at the head of the city and those who were resting in the city were also notified one by one, and the equipment was moved in an orderly manner. All the soldiers who were changing shifts approached the north city in batches, and no noise was allowed on the way.
The soldiers who had just gone to bed in the North City barracks were dispatched one by one by the two captains holding orders to the east gate on the pretext of being on a mission. The two generals, masked by the noise of the soldiers' movements, walked along the west gate. Shanlan, slowly explore to the south.
After walking more than ten feet, the two generals exchanged glances and suddenly stood up and stamped their feet on the ground at the same time.
With a roar, the ground collapsed into an irregular tunnel three feet in size.
The two of them dodged and jumped, retreated more than ten feet, and returned to the main entrance of the barracks.
They found the end of the underground aura gathering place and alerted many body refiners below. They made a prompt decision and caused the tunnel to collapse, exposing it to the public.
There was a burst of exclamations and screams, and several figures punched out at the same time, defeating the mud and jumping out of the pit.
"put!"
Bang bang, more than a dozen times, the crossbow trigger was knocked down hard, and the unique sharp whistle of the crossbow arrows came one after another, like a roaring tsunami from bottom to top, shooting out from the northwest, covering nearly three feet of space from the ground upward. The sound of breaking through the air was deafening.
Figures that dodged or jumped were hit by more than one crossbow arrow, screaming and falling into the pit again.
No one in the Guben Realm can withstand such a dense mass of thick crossbow arrows.
Half of the barracks was destroyed by arrows and turned into rubble in just a short moment.
At the same time, several fire bottles smashed the exposed tunnel there, causing the huge tunnel to immediately turn into a raging fire. The flames swept up with the thick smoke, illuminating the nearby dozens of feet like daylight.
Many figures who were pinned down by the soil and had not had time to escape were suddenly engulfed in flames.
Countless arms on fire stretched out of the tunnel, grabbing and dancing wildly, and their miserable screams were suffocated by the sound of blazing flames.
The attack was so sudden that there was almost no warning.
The Beirong cultivators and soldiers in the tunnel were lurking quietly without any precautions. They had just sneaked into the tunnel not long ago, and they were cautious and restrained their breath to the point of being afraid of making any noise. I wonder how Sihuang City discovered the secret underground?
He also happened to choose to attack them at the time of midnight vigil and shift change, catching them off guard.
Thick smoke and flames poured in along the open mouth of the tunnel.
Violent coughing, running, and yelling came from the ground.
The two generals stepped forward again, causing the tunnel at Shan's entrance to collapse, and then they ducked and landed next to General Fang.
Several fire bottles then smashed into the exposed tunnel mouth, and the flames shot up into the sky, blocking the fleeing Beirong people underground. The smell of burning filled the air, and the howling of ghosts and wolves was extremely fierce.
The faces of the cultivators who were encircling and suppressing were excited, and they were more and more admired by the four generals who commanded everything without missing a beat.
There was a loud "boom", and a section of the camp fence flew into the sky along with the cracked soil.
General Fang Jin pointed his hand: "Fire!"
Several fire bottles were ignited and smashed against the new tunnel entrance that turned over in the middle.
Immediately afterwards, the crossbow trigger sounded again, without any suspense, shooting several figures who jumped out of the hole into sieves, and then fell into the tunnel and became burning people struggling to death.
The half-surrounded body trainers reacted quickly and had unified command, beating the drowned dog without making any mistakes.
After three consecutive fires, the ordinary soldiers blocked in the tunnel could not last more than twenty breaths. They were either killed by the thick smoke or died in the fire. None of them could escape from the ground.
As for the tunnels heading north outside the city, the cultivators and soldiers hiding inside found out that their actions were exposed. They had already taken the opportunity to crawl deep underground and ran away. They were inevitably choked by the pungent oil smoke, but at least their lives were saved.
A well-designed siege ended as soon as it started, which made some cultivators who had not yet had a chance to fish out their mobile phones feel deeply unsatisfied and too inexperienced. It would be better to hide more Beirong people in the tunnels.
Among the soldiers who retreated from the North City barracks, there were still a small number of soldiers who had not had time to leave through Shanmen in the east.
The sudden outbreak of war, the speed and ferocity of the fighting shocked them.
Flames soared into the sky, crossbows roared, and barracks collapsed.
The broken and flying rocks of the fence knocked over many soldiers who were lagging behind, and then they suddenly realized that they were running towards the east gate in a swarm. The previous unwillingness and resistance had long since disappeared.
The flames burned the fence and made a crackling sound. Apart from the soldiers' rushing screams, the body refiners were silent one by one. Under the light of the fire, their faces could not hide the excitement and joy.
The soldiers on the outer edge, led by generals from various ministries, were lined up with swords and guns in strict formation.
A general wearing a navy blue uniform took a few steps forward and pointed towards the middle area blocked by the flames. He had a chance to win and said calmly: "Brother who is hiding underground, Mo Mou advises you to capture him without hesitation. Don't hide anymore." .”
In the sea of fire, struggling figures fell one after another, and the pungent burnt smell became stronger.
After waiting for a long time, when there was no response, General Mo sneered and said, "Since I don't want to come out, Mo will put more effort into entertaining you..."
Before he finished speaking, as soon as he raised his hand, the ground exploded with a "boom".
A burly figure rushed out of the soil and fell to the ground. His eyes were wide open and his momentum was astonishing. His face was blackened by smoke, his clothes were disheveled, his beard and hair were disheveled, and all the sand was shaken off. He looked a bit embarrassed and funny no matter how he looked at it. .
General Mo smiled and held up his hands: "It turns out that Brother Huo Ge is here, and he is not treating the guests well. Why don't you go to the Guanwu Hall to have tea and reminisce about the past, and stay here for a few days?"
The other three generals who came forward couldn't help but laugh when they saw their old rivals defeated.
The burly man glanced at the miserable situation of the tunnel behind him that was still burning, then looked around at the tight queues surrounded from far and near, took a sip of thick black phlegm, and said: "It's unlucky for me, I was tricked by you old ghosts. Stop pretending to be a good guy, I'm going to kill him, but you guys can't stop me, those scraps of metal can't deal with me."
He was talking powerfully, but he showed no sign of taking action.
Yi Shangyan touched Chang Siguo next to him with his left elbow that was holding the bow, and winked, meaning that masters of the Three Tribulations Crystal Bone Realm are nothing more than that, bluffing and quarreling, which is almost the same as them in the Strengthening Realm.
Chang Siguo blinked and responded. He and Yi Shangyan were archers and were placed slightly behind.
Feng Qian, the leader of the bandit-breaking army, sneered, and said with a sarcastic tone: "Then you should rush out and rush out. What are you doing here? Waiting for me to treat you to dinner."
His bandit-breaking army suffered the greatest losses in this winter battle, and was full of anger.
I just happened to catch the strong man who was alone, but he didn't express his anger well.
The burly man was furious and jumped to his feet and cursed: "Tie Feng, don't be so arrogant. If you have the ability to challenge me to a duel and fight, right here, how dare you?"
General Fang took the lead and said with disdain: "Old Huo, do you know how you died? You are so stupid! You are surrounded by so many people, and you are so ignorant of current affairs that you can't distinguish the situation. Haha, a one-on-one fight? How dare you? If you can take on a group like us alone, it's up to you."
"Haha, come on, Lao Huo, let's challenge him to a duel. If you don't come, you will be my grandson."
"Forget it, the one-on-one fight hurts the harmony. Brother Huo is a tough-talking guy. You have to be merciful."
Although they are in the Three Tribulations Crystal Bone Realm, they are essentially a group of rough warriors fighting for their lives. They are very unforgiving when dealing with the rough and tough but shrewd Beirong strong men.
The burly man cursed a lot but was not prepared to fight.
Damn it, he fell into the encirclement. Four old guys could easily beat him into a round shape.
The rows of crossbow arrows outside were shining with a cold light, and they were not a vegetarian.
He was kicked in the head by a donkey, so he jumped into the air to seek punishment. He is not the legendary indestructible golden body. From such a close distance, seven or eight rows of crossbow arrows can shoot him down with a single volley.
Just as he was about to say a few words and admit defeat, the ground beneath his feet shook, and a high-pitched animal cry came out.
The man's expression changed and he shouted hurriedly: "Don't hit it! Don't scare it..."
Before he finished speaking, the soil rolled around the man, and half of a monster's head poked out from the ground. It had gray hair like steel needles, small eyeballs, a red nose on its pointed mouth, and erect ears. .
What a big mouse!
Just by looking at the exposed head, one can estimate that this strange rat is about the size of a calf.
