Chapter 639 Chengshan Fortress(1/2)
In the past few days, Zheng Zetian followed five hundred tiger warriors to patrol the mountains and arrived at Chengshan Fortress, which is now at the forefront of Shiwan Mountain. Because he is a disciple of Song Dayou, and Zheng Zetian himself has a damn charm of charming men, he has already become acquainted with the soldiers.
The monks and monks became brothers and became very familiar with each other, and they also had a general understanding of the situation on the Western Front.
This mountain fortress is actually still five hundred miles away from the Fuyu Mountain Lion Demon's lair. However, this mountain has four sides and a gentle terrain, with a solid foundation. The three mountain tops are all land preparation flats. It does not require much engineering, and the natural
It is suitable for opening an altar, setting up a stronghold, and setting up formations.
It was also discovered through Feng Shui Xunlong that the local ground veins contained a large amount of gold ore, and gold sand could be sifted out of the streams. Therefore, Mozhu Mountain could be mined on the spot for payment, and the Sixth Division of Yushan and the monks who defeated demons were willing to work here.
Stationed for a long time to resist the invasion of demons.
And in a sense, Mozhu Mountain's mountain-breaking and temple-breaking offensive has indeed reached its limit.
Chengshan Mountain and Tianyu Mountain are thousands of miles away, and there are endless demons and monsters along the way. There are no waterways or railways to travel, and military supplies have to be transported by airships, not to mention that the immortal cultivators have to be stationed in this barren mountain for a long time.
The training resources cannot be spared from them, and the logistical pressure is really great.
Moreover, in the Fuyu Mountain opposite, not only the Jiuqu Cave Lion Demon family was resisting desperately, but actually led by the Lion Demon King, they gathered all the demon kings and monsters in the entire Shiwan Mountain. Not only the remnant soldiers who had retreated from the east, but also the remaining soldiers from the west.
The boss kings from various peaks and the escapist old demons from Kunlun in the north have formed gangs and come to gather for righteousness, forming a coalition of 100,000 mountain monsters.
After all, the demon clan is not stupid. They know that Mozhu Mountain is in the spotlight, and now it is the old lion-headed iron of Fuyu Mountain. If they insist on not retreating, if they don't come to support, and sit back and watch it be surrounded and suppressed, then I am afraid that it will never be seen again.
If the demon dares to show his face, everyone will become slaves and become people's mounts.
Of course, this lion demon Jiuqu Demon Lord is indeed a character, uh, a monster. This beast is a great monster that has been enlightened for a long time. There are legends that it was an immortal mount and received the true transmission, but no one knows the specific details, only some
Before the Demon King was born, he took up space in Fuyu Mountain to practice cultivation.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this old lion's Taoism is the leader of a hundred thousand mountain demons. He has already reached the peak. I am afraid that if there is another chance, he will really realize Taoism like the South China Sea Spirit King and become the leader of the demon clan.
, the Lord of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Li Fan has also wanted to get rid of this guy over the years, but when he reached the state of transformation, his every move was too noisy. In other words, as long as he thought about it, the old lion's fate would become bad today, so the opposite
I immediately took precautions.
Moreover, his reputation as one of the nine masters was also blown out, which was so scary that no one dared to challenge him to a duel. So often when Li Fan arrived at Fuyu Mountain, the demon kings from all over the southeast, northwest and northwest
The old demons had already heard the news and gathered twenty or thirty incarnations to fight side by side with the Jiuqu Demon Lord. There were also seventeen or eight old beasts who appeared from nowhere and went to Mozhu Mountain to cause trouble and steal things.
And this old lion is indeed somewhat capable. It has been operating in Fuyu Mountain for many years and has already laid out layers of magic circles. This place is the hub of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the center where the entire spiritual veins converge, and the entire mountain is refined by it.
The magic weapon and the Nine Qi of Tai Chi will be directly absorbed and transformed. Every time Li Fan comes to make a surprise attack, it will close the formation and hide in the mountain to hold on. No matter how you blast it with fire or cut it with sword light, it will not be able to plow down the entire mountain.
draw.
This leaves Li Fan with nothing to do. Killing a bunch of monsters doesn't give him any experience gain. He calculated with his fingers that the firepower of the God Transformation level is indeed unable to blow up Fuyu Mountain. If he gets stuck, he can only level up and try again.
The soldiers of Mozhu Mountain are stationed in Fuyu Mountain. Firstly, they block these monsters at the door to prevent them from invading eastward. Secondly, it is impossible for other monster kings to squat here all day long and act as security guards for the old lion. This happens suddenly from time to time.
Make a surprise attack and charge directly into the mountains, destroying the magic circle while exploring the way. As long as you find traces of the old lion, you can send a signal for the giant to jump over and assassinate him.
And Jiuqu Laomo couldn't bear it, but didn't give him a chance.
After all, Li Fan is enlightening and he is also enlightening, and he also has many children, grandsons, little lions, and other die-hard elements who were expelled from the mountain and refused to seek refuge in Mozhu Mountain. The support of the demon king and demon generals does not prevent it from going out in person.
Now under the virtual moon, the transformed demons are like leeks in the ground, cut
There will be another batch after another, so time is actually on the side of the demon clan. Of course it can endure it, so we will endure it with you, Mo Zhushan, to see who can survive the other in the end.
So the two sides stayed in Fuyu Mountain for the time being.
The current strength of Mozhushan's troops is roughly three thousand, basically on a one-to-one basis. They are stationed on the two front lines of Chengshan and Yushan, as well as stationed in various places within the territory of Mozhushan.
This time, Li Moyun brought over all the five hundred tiger soldiers from Yushan. He also took advantage of the patrol rotation window to gather half of the elite troops on the western front to launch a surprise attack on Fuyushan and sweep away a large wave of troops.
In addition, most of the casual cultivators who come to do missions to collect materials are on the front line of Chengshan and can send out missions to recruit support at any time. There are two thousand Jindan monks that can be mobilized for this offensive, which is indeed not a small number for Mozhu Mountain.
Of course, there are even more soldiers in Fuyu Mountain. The monsters from the entire Shiwanshan Mountain are gathered here. They are dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful than Mozhu Mountain all year round. Sometimes these monsters themselves will attack and devour each other, and they will continue to attack each other.
There are always demons and ghosts being sent here, and it is impossible to estimate the accuracy.
According to the experience of repeated raids and tests over the years, hundreds of Nascent Soul demons were killed in each light array, and those demon kings at the level of gods did not even need to take action, as long as the little monsters and the soldiers of Mozhu Mountain waited until night
, Mozhu Mountain naturally had to withdraw its troops and go back to rest, and the cave at the top of the mountain that was captured during the day could be recaptured in one night.
In fact, Mo Zhushan also knew that before the giant came out of seclusion and freed up his hands, there was no possibility of killing the old lion. He just came to train soldiers every day, take the newcomers to experience the demon battlefield, and earn some materials and military merit.
Zheng Zetian was the newcomer. He also wore a standard armor suit, followed Li Shisheng on a boat, and swaggered across the Fuyu Mountains to observe the demon's lair from a high position.
In fact, it can no longer be called a lair, these demons have already begun to build a city.
After fighting against Mozhu Mountain for so many years, the demon tribe has also begun to make progress. They have cut down all the forests outside Fuyu Mountain, leaving the entire mountain range bare. They have also dug trenches along the foot of the mountain and dug trenches at the foot of the mountain.
There are many caves with earthen forts piled at the entrances. These earthen forts are not tall, but if you use your spiritual consciousness to scan the inner layers, there are secret passages and caves. The outside is a large rock, which is quite solid. Not only can it protect you from arrows and rain, but the mountains also
It can absorb Dao power and cannot be defeated by simple fire, thunder and bombing. Even if the fortress outside is forcibly destroyed with magical weapons, the demons inside can still escape through other mountain paths.
The monsters in the ditch outside also gathered in groups of ten and five steps. They also prepared a large number of javelins and crossbows. Some of the equipment was junk left over from the ancient fairy palace, and some clearly had the style of the aliens from the west of Kunlun.
, it is obvious that the divine sect is also secretly supporting these monsters and does not want Mozhu Mountain to expand too fast.
Naturally, the demon clan also has an air force. What is even more outrageous is that Zheng Zetian discovered that they actually have military orders. After the little demons on the periphery discovered the warships in Mozhu Mountain, a series of intensive horns and drums sounded along the mountain fortress, and then various birds
Strange bats flew out from the mountain road, and they were as dense as dark clouds.
Hundreds and thousands of monsters swarmed over a large area. As they flew closer, they could see that the demon air force was also divided into close combat and long-range combat. The Nascent Soul demons swooped down in groups to fight with the soldiers, flashing the strong wind and trying to
Destroy the hull and shoot them down. The weaker ones will surround them from a distance, carrying little demons on their backs, and they will throw rain of javelins and arrows from a distance, launch various demon fire and stone bullets, and even fly above the warships to throw kerosene.
Of course, Mozhu Mountain is also making progress. The armors of the tigers and warriors can produce iron wings. When they rush out, they will fight with the big monsters to prevent the monsters from swarming up and rushing to the deck to destroy the hull.
And even the standard armor worn by ordinary soldiers like Zheng Zetian is not afraid of the attack of the demon clan's flowing arrows and demon fire. It is even swept away by the strong wind from the Yuanying demon, leaving only a white lead.
The warships in Mozhu Mountain also have various mechanical firearms, such as divine rockets, thunder, fire, muskets, and cannons. As long as they are fired at the monster pile, the monsters in the sky and on the ground will be blasted into pieces and scattered all over the ground. He and other
The monks were wearing armor and running around on the deck, maintaining and practicing the machine puppets that controlled the forts, controlling the route of the spaceship, adding virtual jade charging, and replacing bomb pods for various rockets and artillery.
Such fire reconnaissance and ping-ping-pong-pong played all morning, destroying all the people in the boat.
The ammunition was all gone and replaced with various materials for demon pills and demon heads. Everyone was beaten until their armors were hot and bloody, as if they had taken a bath. Then they returned with a full load and flew back to Chengshan Fortress to rest.
"Zetian, how are you? Are you injured?"
Zheng Zetian helped carry the box of demon meat off the boat. There was a young woman wrapped in armor and military uniform, with golden snake eyes, black silk hair and a pair of snake jasper swords at her waist. She was waiting for him in front of the village, holding hands to help him pick it up.
He threw off the scraps of flesh from his body and used the spiritual spring to wash away the blood foam on his body.
Zheng Zetian chuckled, "Sister Qing, I'm fine!"
This young woman was none other than Yuan Tianxiao's Taoist companion Jiang Liuqing. She helped Zheng Zetian take off his armor. She looked up and down to make sure the boy was not injured before letting him go.
"Humph, how old are you? Why don't you study in Yushan and go to the battlefield! How can I explain to your master if something happens!" "Sister Qing, don't underestimate him. This kid is very experienced on the first day on the battlefield.
And the cannon shooting is so accurate that you can kill a big monster with one shot!"
"Yes, yes, Sister Qing, you are a good boy. He deserves to be taught a lot!"
The soldiers who fought side by side originally thought that this boy was good and got along well with him. They were even more satisfied when they saw that he didn't wet his pants for the first time on the battlefield and helped him in various ways. They all spoke up for him.
Jiang Liuqing scolded, "Get out of here! Don't give me that playful smile! If something happens, let's see how I deal with you! Go to the camp for a physical examination and bandage! You are so brave, pretending to be a man! The poison has penetrated deep into your bones, and even the richest men will do it."
I can't save you!" "It's the brigade commander!"
The soldiers fled quickly.
"Sister Qing, I'm fine! Look, I'm jumping around. I didn't even get angry, so I started shooting from behind." Jiang Liuqing also shook her head and gave Zheng Zetian two bottles of elixirs.
"These idiots who don't know the importance of the situation take you deep into danger. If a demon king really comes out and kills them, they are all protected by armor and they can escape with their lives even if they fight to the death. What will you do?
Alas, this group of people just have no brains. Don't worry about it, Zetian. It's all you have experienced. Tomorrow's raid is going to be into the mountains. It's too dangerous and I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of you. So don't participate and stay in the camp.
Come inside."
Zheng Zetian also knew that the other party had good intentions, and what he said was indeed reasonable. He had just looked around and knew that the demons on the outside were so tightly guarded that it was difficult to break through even if they had to fight their way in. The mountain was completely run by other demon clans for many years.
There are countless organizations on the territory, and without Huben's first-level strength, equipment and battlefield experience, it is indeed difficult to take risks easily.
"Sister Qing, I understand. I won't cause trouble to you, but everyone is in danger. I am also a disciple of Mozhu Mountain. How can I stand by and watch? Why don't you let me help pass on the order?"
"Send the order?" Jiang Liuqing hesitated for a moment, "This... are you good at arithmetic?"
Mozhushan now naturally uses telegraphs to transmit military orders. The Chengshan base antenna is hidden in the Louguan Tower of the dojo. Within the Mozhushan sect’s territory, you can send telegraph messages directly to the monks. Moreover, there are also telegraphs on the battleships of Mozhushan.
It is equipped with the latest telegraph station. Although it cannot communicate with people as accurately as the base radio station, it is enough to communicate with the base base camp. It can feedback information in time during wartime and has a two-way communication channel with Chengshan Fortress.
But currently on the front line of Fuyu Mountain, due to too many monsters, signal interference from various barrier formations and terrain, once the soldiers enter the cave and attack deep into the mountain, it will be difficult for Chengshan's headquarters to directly contact Fuyu Mountain.
The troops and individuals within.
Therefore, the current tactics are to use battleships as a medium to make a transit. At the beginning of the assault, the firepower is first concentrated to clear out the demons on the ground. Then Chengshan Fortress will combine the feedback from each battleship to select the coordinates of the assault and arrange complex direct assaults.
Troops, troops for peripheral sweeps, and troops to support snipers.
Then the warship responsible for breaking into the mountain will descend suddenly under cover and stop at the entrance of the broken cave tunnel to establish a position. Some soldiers will form a defensive formation outside, and some soldiers will break into the mountain for reconnaissance. As for whether they can search for the lion demon after entering the mountain.
Traces, when to retreat and when to counterattack, in the event of an emergency, it still depends on the decisions of the frontline division commanders.
The order Zheng Zetian talked about was to receive the signal through the radio in the Chengshan camp, and then translate it into an order and issue it.
This was originally the job of the machine puppet, but the puppet's code was debugged in advance, and
It is a common word to send to a telegraph book, but it is different on the battlefield. The military situation is urgent and requires planning assistance from masters who are proficient in arithmetic. Now the army has its own old Taoist priest sent by Louguan Taoism to preside over it, but there is no objection to the people who help.
