Chapter 40 The Battle at the Foot of the Mountain

In just over half an hour, Li Si's army of only 350 people completed all the assembly.

But even so, he could only walk to the foot of Yanhui Mountain before dark.

Along the way, Li Si kept an eye on the sky, for fear that his team would be discovered by the crows of the Taoist sect. In fact, he was too worried. At this moment when Jincheng was in shock, how could the Taoist sect have the heart to pay attention to such a team of hundreds of people? team?
Before dark, the whole army successfully arrived at the ruins of Mijiazhuang. The general camped at the foot of Yanhui Mountain, and did not see even a single crow, let alone any Taoist priests. This area was as desolate as a ghost.

In particular, the 10,000+ mu of farmland that is about to mature has not been harvested, but it has become a gluttonous feast for sparrows and mice.

"So this is the strategic significance of defeating Yanhui Mountain Fusheng Taoist Temple. Even after seven or eight days, there should be tens of thousands of refugees left on the mountain. However, how to fight this battle?"

Li Si stood at the foot of Yanhui Mountain, and the last ray of light between heaven and earth fell on the western skyline.

The north is still as dark as ink, and I don't know what's going on there?
Tonight, doomed to sleepless.

"Zhao Shan, your heavy cavalry battalion is placed in an open area outside. Be more energetic at night and don't light any fire."

"Zhao Xiaoer, Tian Wen, you two lead your respective marksmanship battalions and hide directly in the ruins. Everyone work hard tonight. The enemy may come at any time. In addition, the eight-ox crossbow should be placed on the highest place. , do a good job of camouflage, and wind it up in advance, you two, send out the best soldiers to control it."

"Huang Yu, your scout battalion went to collect firewood, piled it outside the ruins of the town, and left people to light it at any time. Once the enemy appears, the fire can let our army see the target clearly."

"Chen Qing, your supply battalion is going to assist the Feishi battalion and set up a projection position outside the ruins. Forget it, come with me."

Li Si gave the order helplessly. The placement of the catapult is a subject of knowledge, but even the best catapult shooter can't compare to him at present, because he can calculate, thanks to his math teacher.

After a busy trip, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening before Li Si calculated the projection angles and projection areas of the twenty catapults and placed them in corresponding positions.

There is only one specific projection area, and that is the entrance of the mountain road of Yanhui Mountain. He can only imagine that the holy beast of the Daomen will rush down from the mountain.

If he rushed from another direction, it would be Li Si's bad luck.

Everything was arranged properly, he was exhausted as if he was exhausted, he simply leaned against a trebuchet for a while, and fell asleep very sweetly in a short while.

But at some point, he suddenly had a nightmare. In the dream, an evil and strange statue stared at him, with an ominous aura spreading.

Li Si woke up suddenly, sweating profusely, but the next second he felt an indescribable sense of peeping, and this feeling was no stranger to him, it was the weird statue of the Daoist sect!
But where is the weird statue in this area?

Before he could think about it, Li Si yelled, "Light it up, light it up! Get ready to fight!"

Not long after his words fell, the flames lit up everywhere in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, vigorous flames rose up, and soon lit up in all directions.

At this time, Li Si noticed that it was almost dawn.

Under the light of the fire, he could clearly see a huge bat flying over from the Yanhui Mountain. It was holding something in its claws. Because it was very heavy, it couldn't fly high.

Illuminated by the fire, the big bat seemed to be frightened. With a strange cry, the thing in its claws was thrown down.

The moment before this thing fell into the fire, Li Si vaguely saw that it was a statue.

But this is not important anymore. Although the big bat still wants to raise the height desperately, Tian Wen, who is ambushing in this area, has already given an order, and fifty god arm crossbows shoot at the same time. The big bat fell down with a strange scream, but it was not dead yet. , but turned into a middle-aged Taoist priest, this guy rolled around in the fire, wailing endlessly, with amazing vitality.

But what is even more frightening is that his body is constantly changing, and after a while, a head grows from his shoulders, and then another head, three demons, a holy beast of Taoism!
This scene immediately shocked Tian Wen's team of god-armed crossbowmen so that they couldn't breathe, and even forgot to string the god-armed crossbow, because this was beyond the scope of ordinary people's comprehension.

"Tabuchet! Launch!"

At the critical moment, Li Si roared angrily. In just a few seconds, twenty small catapults fired a volley. The sound of the catapults flying high into the sky was shocking, but the effect of the catapults was very fucking!

Of the twenty stone bullets, only one hit the three-headed monster, and this was because the body of the three-headed monster swelled wildly, and the cross-section almost exceeded three meters.

But even this five-jin stone bomb still knocked the three monsters back, and it was transforming, so it fell into the flames. Thanks to the enough firewood in the scout camp, The flames were already very fierce at this moment, and the three demons howled mournfully, waving their arms desperately, and the flames flew all over the sky.

This scene finally woke Tian Wen up. While shouting to string the crossbow, he called Zhao Xiaoer for support.

But Zhao Xiaoer was much calmer than Tian Wen.

Even the god-armed crossbowmen under him were trembling with fright, but they were still firmly held by him, and no one pulled the crossbow in a panic.

On this side, Li Si is also personally directing the Feishi camp.

"Don't panic, stay steady, just go at the normal speed, don't be afraid, monsters can be killed just as well!"

Although the accuracy of the flying stone camp's throwing stones is hopeless, as long as a stone bullet hits, it can save the lives of a group of people.

In just a few seconds, the three monsters finally climbed up from the fire. It had completely turned into a big fireball, but even so, it still had a tenacious vitality, and it stumbled forward!

"shoot!"

Zhao Xiaoer's No. [-] marksmanship battalion finally launched a round of salvo, and it was very stable, and the effect was excellent. In this round alone, the eyes of the three monsters were shot blind. Slower and easier to target.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Xiaoer ordered again, and the eight-ox crossbow in disguise made a frightening buzzing sound, and the two-meter-long crossbow, like a bolt of lightning, directly penetrated the chests of the three monsters and nailed them. on the ground.

But before everyone cheered, when the geese returned to the mountain, there was an angry roar, and then there was a rumbling sound, as if the mountains were falling apart, but there was a second Taoist holy beast!

"Don't panic, hold on!"

Li Si yelled, in fact, he himself panicked like a dog, how could there be two ends?

At this time, Zhao Xiaoer and Tian Wen's men also retreated quickly, relying on the eight-ox crossbow to build a defense line. The four chief escorts were shaking the gears together to wind the eight-ox crossbow, but this winding was a bit slow, and it took 3 minutes, because It is necessary to use the small gear to drive the large gear, and it will not be fast if you think about it.

Fortunately, the Feishi Camp in the rear had reinstalled the counterweights on the [-] trebuchets. Everyone stared at the mountain road and prayed silently that the monsters would rush down from here.

Even Li Si thought so.

Otherwise, it's all over.
