Chapter 778
Commander Zhuang did not speak, but kept waving the long knife in his hand, blocking all the black iron arrows that burst out.
Xiao Zhan also knew that now was not the time for small talk.
While he was attacking those black arrows, he said to Li Yong behind him:
"Li Yong, you retreat first!"
Li Yong knew that his strength would not only not be of help, but would also become a burden, so he did not hesitate, turned around and rushed into the tiger's mouth as quickly as possible.
Xiao Zhan and Commander Zhuang resisted while retreating.
In their sight, about a kilometer away, a group of soldiers wearing dark red armor were charging towards them at full speed.
"Walk!"
Xiao Zhan roared, then turned around and rushed into the tiger's mouth.
Commander Zhuang also immediately turned around and retreated.
The soldiers on the opposite side rushed to the tiger's mouth. Seeing 50,000 soldiers approaching quickly, they turned around and ran away without any hesitation.
Soon, 50,000 elite men under Commander Zhuang arrived.
Xiao Zhan glanced at Commander Zhuang and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not seriously injured, except that there was a bloody gash on her right arm from an arrow, which was not deep.
Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, looked at Commander Zhuang and said:
"I just observed that the width of the tiger's mouth is more than a hundred meters."
"If a large army really attacks, tens of thousands of people will be able to pass through it in an instant."
"The opponent is not attacking right now. They may think there is an ambush on our side, but once the opponent figures out the situation on our side, they will definitely rush through the tiger's mouth immediately."
Commander Zhuang said nothing, but looked at Xiao Zhan calmly.
Li Yong frowned and asked:
"Brother, can you build a city wall and block this opening?"
"There is not enough time," Xiao Zhan said truthfully: "With such a big hole, the city wall must be at least ten meters thick and one hundred meters high. Even if all 50,000 people are used to build the city wall, it will take at least a year to complete."
"And I just saw it. There are a lot of gravels on the ground at the tiger's mouth. Apparently a city wall was built before, but it was still destroyed."
While he was talking, a strong cold wind blew from the tiger's mouth, and even Xiao Zhan felt a little unable to stand.
"And the tiger's mouth is a strong wind outlet. From time to time, there will be a strong wind, which can blow hundreds of kilograms of stones away. Ordinary city walls cannot withstand it at all."
Li Yong frowned, "What should I do?"
"All the 50,000 soldiers brought by Xie Jing are dead, so the opponent must have at least 100,000 people to crush them with force."
"If those 100,000 people attack immediately, the 50,000 of us will definitely suffer heavy losses even if we resist."
Xiao Zhan said nothing, but looked at the tiger's mouth again.
Pingxi Hou said that Xiao Zhan was sent here not to win the battle, but to delay the time and block King Kurosawa's army.
If the army attacks, it will be overwhelming after rushing into the tiger's mouth, and it will be difficult to stop it.
After a while, Xiao Zhan had an idea.
He does not need to build a city wall, but he can build some obstacles at the tiger's mouth to slow down the enemy's attack speed, and then establish positions on both sides of the tiger's mouth, condescendingly, and use arrows to attack from a distance.
As long as the enemy takes longer to pass through the tiger's mouth, the chance of damage will be greater.
This is equivalent to invisibly narrowing the tiger's mouth.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan planned to build a maze inside the tiger's mouth.
Soon, Xiao Zhan drew a pattern on the ground and said to Commander Zhuang:
"Commander Zhuang, immediately ask your 50,000 men to build the maze according to the pattern I drew."
Commander Zhuang didn't waste any time and gave the order directly.
Then I saw all 50,000 people moving, moving stones as quickly as possible, and starting to build the maze.
What Xiao Zhan has to do is to observe the movements on the side of the tiger's mouth before the construction of the maze is completed, and beware of the enemy attacking at this time.
It's a pity, what I'm afraid of will come
What.
A team of about a thousand people quietly approached the tiger's mouth.
Xiao Zhan immediately waved to Commander Zhuang.
Commander Zhuang immediately rushed towards the tiger's mouth with tens of thousands of people.
The enemy retreated instantly.
Xiao Zhan couldn't help but start to speculate.
The enemy has not launched a large-scale attack yet, and it is most likely that King Kurosawa's army has not yet assembled.
Opposite the Tiger's Mouth is the territory of Bei Mohou.
Without the arrival of King Kurosawa's army, it is absolutely impossible for the Marquis of Beimo to send all his troops to attack the tiger's mouth.
In other words, he still has time to make arrangements in the tiger's mouth.
But no matter how they were arranged, 50,000 defenders were still too few.
After all, no one expected before that all the 50,000 government troops brought by Xie Jing would die so quickly. Even Xie Jing didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
Xiao Zhan called Li Yong and said in a deep voice:
"You are now leaving and returning to Pingxihou's Mansion. Tell Pingxihou the situation here and ask Pingxihou to send at least another hundred thousand people, and bring as many bows and arrows as possible."
Li Yong nodded and immediately turned around and left.
Time passed little by little.
Fifty thousand people built the maze quickly.
Xiao Zhan requires that the height of the maze must be at least thirty meters. There is no way for ordinary soldiers to cross it. Only people above the Youhu realm can barely pass through.
Inside the tiger's mouth, a dazzling maze soon appeared.
However, less than one-tenth of the construction is completed, and reinforcements still need to be continued.
And the positions on the mountain peaks on both sides also need to be transformed.
Fortunately, the mountains on both sides are high enough and steep enough to scare most enemies.
The enemy is still probing.
From two thousand, five thousand people at the beginning, to ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand people later.
When 50,000 enemy troops tried to pass through the tiger's mouth, Commander Zhuang immediately rushed over with 50,000 elite troops. After a brief confrontation, the opponent left hundreds of corpses behind and quickly retreated.
Xiao Zhan asked Commander Zhuang to give an order not to pursue him!
After repeated tests, the other party also knew that Xiao Zhan only had 50,000 soldiers.
Xiao Zhan also knew that there were 150,000 troops on the other side, and they were stationed on the other side of the tiger's mouth, probably less than ten miles away. Z.br>
The opponent still did not choose to attack the tiger's mouth even though they had an advantage in strength, which further confirmed Xiao Zhan's previous guess that King Kurosawa's army had not arrived yet, or that King Kurosawa did not intend to let the army come from Attack here.
In short, no matter what, the defensive fortifications that need to be done still need to be done.
About half a month later, the maze was completed.
Xiao Zhan asked Commander Zhuang to lead 50,000 soldiers, pretending to be enemy troops and walked into the maze.
The effect is very obvious. The huge tiger's mouth is divided into hundreds of entrances.
Each entrance is a different route.
Entering the maze, you can only see the gray sky when you look up, and you are completely unaware of the surrounding situation.
At least after Commander Zhuang led 50,000 people into the maze, they were immediately dispersed into hundreds of teams. After nearly two hours of running around in the maze, only less than 100 people managed to get out of the maze.
The effect is very significant.
