Defect another world

Chapter 271 Hukou Pass Raiders Battle
The mantis jumped into the dark forest.Their extra mantis arms are more useful in the sky full of trees.

Because they can grab the branches with the claws exposed after putting away the big knife, and run easily in the seemingly forest like a gibbon.

Meng Fei was carried on Roan's back like a baby, watching the countless strange-hand-like branches and thick leaves passing by in his field of vision, as if he was constantly swinging on a swing.

His thoughts also went up and down just like the way the road was going.

For half an hour, the mantis people led by Luo An ran on the "tree" like this, until they reached the Hukou Pass at dawn.

This is the dawn of the fifth day in the time spiral. Just as Luo An led He Ma through the Hukou Pass, Qingmang Emperor Li Shibai was on his own expedition, and the army finally arrived at the door of the enemy.

Facing west, the sun behind him splashed across the sky like a bucket of gray, glowing bright yellow paint.

In front of it was a huge mountain pass, like two black fighting beasts rushing madly at each other, but there was a saddle-shaped gap in the middle.

If this mountain pass belongs to him, he will build a majestic pass here where one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it.

The desolate mantis just built a simple pass with wood and stones.

The Reaper Empire at its peak was once extremely powerful, and its architectural skills were not far behind even the Qingmang Kingdom, which is now in full swing.

But the Reaper Empire is composed of many tribes that share the belief in Reaper.Mantis tribe is a typical fighting tribe, not good at building.

When the empire fell apart, the fighting tribes did not lose everything in the battle with foreign enemies, but they slaughtered and plundered other tribes affiliated to the empire in exchange for life.

Finally, they crossed the mountains and came to the southern border of Qingmang to settle down, and re-established the Mantis Kingdom.

Now that Li Shibai thinks about it, this is a conspiracy.The Mantis Man pinpointed the kindness of the Goddess Qingmang, and knew that the Goddess would not take the initiative to destroy them.

But the gods of West Continent and Central Continent did not dare to approach Qingmang's sphere of influence.So the mantis survived in this crack with the undead of the god of death.

For this country, the goddess has not approved his war of extermination for a long time.Did God's kindness become the biggest obstacle for him to expand his territory?

Fortunately, even though seven years had passed, his army was finally lined up here neatly.The enemy is already within range of the shell.

"Sacrificial flag!"

he solemnly ordered.Now he doesn't need to keep silent for fear of being discovered by the enemy.

Mantis people are watching from the top of the city, let them tremble!The more frightened they are, the smoother the sneak attack of the hyena cavalry behind them will be.

Several burly men pulled over a young man in a prison uniform who was almost limp on the ground, urinating profusely.

"Please! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

He was already crying a little hoarsely, but he continued to cry.But no matter whether he yelled or screamed, or was paralyzed and unable to walk, he was still pressed on the guillotine in the end.

This is a son of a famous family, but at this time, under the anger of the people all over the country, no matter how prominent the family is, they can't save his life.

Guarding the South Gate of the Kingdom of God, this is an easy and gilded position.But when the mantis people attacked, he abandoned the gate and fled, resulting in the massacre of tens of thousands of people in Rong County. Who can protect him?

So his only remaining value is the sacrificial flag.The executioner cut it down with a single knife, and the blood stained the red flag.

Li Shibai looked at the worthless head, and slowly held the blood-stained red flag in his hand.

In fact, he had chosen this family member out of thousands of choices.Young and energetic, domineering, addicted to alcohol, but as timid as a mouse.

Then he secretly sent some people to deliberately infiltrate the border for many years to provoke the mantis people.

Sure enough, the enraged mantis came, and the frontier guard ran away first.The defenders collapsed, and tens of thousands of people in the city were massacred.

Speaking of which, these tens of thousands of people became sacrifices to the God of Death by the mantis people, among which he, Li Shibai, owed a lot of credit.

If Goddess Qingmang knew these details, she would definitely give him a thunderbolt.But the Goddess will never know.

Goddesses almost never interfere with worldly affairs.She didn't even think about who would be the border guard, let alone ask.

Those who were sent to provoke the mantis were all dead warriors he secretly cultivated.They will not admit it, and the goddess has no way of knowing.

Li Shibai thinks he has a clear conscience.Everything he did was for the Kingdom of God, and also for the Goddess.

The wider the country, the more believers it can support, and the more orders to support the goddess.

Is he wrong?He didn't!Even if he was wiped out because of this, he would never have any regrets.

"attack!"

He waved the command flag in his hand violently, and the flag was ignited like a fire.

The shells soared into the air like a group of bolides, drawing many graceful arcs in the air, and flew accurately towards the enemy's fortress.

These shells are made of clay, and they are spherical clay pots about the size of washbasins.

The shells were stuffed with a mixture of oil-soaked cotton wool, sulfur, and saltpeter.There are holes in the surface of the shell, and a "wick" composed of oil-absorbing cotton yarn protrudes from the inside.

Light the wick, then drop the cannonball on the giant trebuchet.Everyone worked together to turn the winch, increase the power of the trebuchet to the limit, and then trigger the mechanism.

After the mechanism was triggered, the long arm of the trebuchet straightened instantly, flipped up, and then hit the front gear lever.The cannonball was ejected with a whoosh.

Under such a rain-like attack, Hukou Pass ignited a fire.

Li Shibai looked at the results of the first attack with satisfaction.

Whether it is a trebuchet or a shell with a complex structure, it requires the cooperation of professional designers, craftsmen, potters and alchemists.It is impossible for a barbaric tribe like the mantis to master it purely by fighting with talents.

At this distance, they simply have no weapons to fight back.Either be beaten passively, or go out of the city to fight.

"They are coming, prepare to defend!"

The forward security officer suddenly shouted.

This shout was repeated repeatedly, and soon spread throughout the entire army formation.Under the commander's control, the formation of the army immediately changed to a certain extent.

The Qingmang Army, which was originally connected in one piece, became a piece by piece phalanx.Many broad and heavy shields were lifted up, like fish scales gleaming in the sun.

There were many strange bird calls from the sky, accompanied by many black spots that flew like birds.

These are not real bird calls, but a kind of whistle that the Mantids use to communicate with each other in the air.The flying ones were not real black spots, but mantis people.

It's a bit strange to say that those mantis people can fly!
