Mystery Leaks

Chapter 740 murderous soldier
Without further ado, we immediately hid and arrived at the market.

After careful investigation, it turned out that the Yin soldiers and the ghost messengers had indeed withdrawn, but there was a faint sound of fighting outside the city, as well as the unique humming produced by the tense bowstring firing.

Although there are occasional ghost soldiers on patrol, they are already wandering around aimlessly, patrolling law and order.

"Facing the enemy at the south gate, a fight has already begun. That road is blocked, so let's take a detour through the west gate." Gui Ding said immediately.

Lu Ningxiang and I nodded, and followed Guiding to the west gate.Although I have some doubts, there is no sun, moon and stars here, so how can we divide the east, west, north and south?

Not long after, we came to the west gate, and the gate was closed at this time, guarded by Yin soldiers and ghost guards defending round after round, and flags were flying on the city wall, and swords were on the verge of breaking out.

The atmosphere is much more tense than in the city.

As soon as we approached, we were pointed at by hundreds of spears and bows.

Gui Ding immediately showed Bai Wuchang's token, and the Yin soldier's goalkeeper immediately walked over, glanced at the token, his pupils shrank, and hurriedly raised his hand to indicate that the danger was over.

"Leave the city by order of Lord Bai, and open the door!" Gui Ding said imposingly.

"Ok!"

The gatekeeper nodded respectfully, then waved his hand and said loudly, "Open the city gate!"

"Open the gates!"

Someone should drink, and at this time, the sound of whipping came from the ground, and the four thick iron chains deep into the ground were suddenly tightened. It should be that there were wild beasts pulling the iron chains underground.

The four iron chains were all as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and the other end was connected to the city wall. When the city wall opened, the mechanism inside was driven, and there was a whirring sound of turning, and the city gate slowly opened.

I was terrified when I saw it, good guy, there is really no one who made this mechanism.

Taking a closer look, it is actually not the city gate that is hanging up, but a huge blocking stone, which almost occupies the entire city gate hole, and the blocking stone is lifted to reveal the city gate.

With such a mechanism design, if the magic circle is reinforced, I really can't think of any way to attack it from the outside.

The city gate was already extremely thick, but after finally breaking through the city gate, the blocking stone fell, which was equivalent to a thicker gate, and the difficulty of breaking through it was no different from directly breaking through the city wall.

More importantly, in case of an emergency and it is too late to close the city gate, this gate stone is a key insurance.

Cut off the iron chain, or destroy a key organ, and the blocking stone will fall down, completely blocking the city gate. Even if the intruder occupies the city gate, it will be crushed and cut into two sections.

And this is only the west gate, the south gate facing the enemy, the defense of the city gate will only become more perverted.

After the blocking stone was hoisted, the Yin soldiers immediately ran into the city gate hole, turned the mechanism, and slowly opened the thick city gate.

We make a quick pass and head out of town.

To be honest, this has changed my impression of the underworld. I always thought that the underworld was chaotic because of the mixed forces of all parties.

But looking at it now, I can't tell that the forces are mixed, but the order and highly unified organization impress me deeply.

These Yin soldiers are very rare elites. Although their individual strength is not high, their overall combat effectiveness is definitely very strong.

And this is not a small-scale organization, it is the entire underworld.

I have underestimated the strength of the underworld, they have a large army, and they are ordered and prohibited, well-ordered and well-trained.

Among other things, as for the guarding team of hundreds of people just now, I have only seen that kind of pristine military appearance on the palace guards of the Demon Palace, with a murderous look.

This made me feel even more urgent. Compared with the underworld, the gap between the human race and the underworld is still very obvious.

Especially in terms of organization, the current human race is still a mess, and the Lingchu Forum only gathers people's hearts, but has not yet organized people.

It seems that the goal of initially establishing an organization to win the championship competition has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

After leaving the west city, we found that the road around the city was very narrow, and an acropolis was set up.

That is, the satellite city, where at least 2000 Yin soldiers are stationed in the city, and with the condescending support from the main city, the passage can be completely blocked, and no one can open it.

We were easily released with the token, and we requisitioned three Yin horses, and rode all the way to the south.

It turned out that the Yin army in the second hall was not attacking the main city at all, but the Acropolis in the south.

The Acropolis is not bad either, it is bigger and taller than the one to the west.

The Yin army who attacked the city was dressed differently from the Yin army who defended the city. Those who defended the city were dressed in black and armor, uniform, while those who attacked the city were more heterogeneous, but their aura was extraordinarily brave. There were about [-] people in number.

I took a general look, and I was a little puzzled. Although the Yin army in the second hall is very brave, one is as good as two, but the number is there, let alone the main city, it is very difficult to break through the acropolis.

Although the Yin army in the first hall is not so brave, they are better equipped, occupy the advantage of the city defense, and can get the condescending support from the main city.

The advantages are very obvious.

In this way, you can't get cheap siege warfare, so why go on?

So I asked Gui Ding, Yeying only said a part of the situation in the underworld, and didn't go into details.

Gui Ding said: "I don't know, my lord. In fact, such siege battles will happen almost every month and a half. This is King Li's strategy. The siege is the second, and the training is the first."

I was speechless for a while, and after Guiding explained, I understood the reason.

It turns out that the problem lies with Li Qing. After Li Qing broke the earth and became a marquis, he changed the taboos of the underworld and even recruited evil spirits imprisoned in the depths of hell as soldiers, called fierce soldiers.

The fierce soldiers are extremely powerful, but they are also very ferocious. This kind of siege battle can release the fierceness of the fierce soldiers on the one hand, and can train soldiers on the other hand.

And there is another advantage of this, which is to create an offensive. Over time, one's own side is good at attacking the city, while the enemy is only good at defending the city.

The facts did confirm Li Qing's strategy. As time went by, Li Qing's subordinates became more and more good at siege and field battles, while Ghost Emperor's subordinates, although well-equipped, could only hide in the city for defense.

Ghost Emperor also tried to reverse this situation, but after losing to Li Qing in several field battles of various sizes, he gave up.

In the final analysis, those who have a bottom line can't do anything without a bottom line.

As the orthodox of the underworld, the Ghost Emperor naturally would not touch the taboos of the underworld, but Li Qing, a subversive, didn't pay so much attention.

In fact, the reason why Li Qing was able to go all the way down the four cities and directly hit the fifth hall was because he borrowed the power of the evil spirits from hell who hated the orthodoxy of the underworld.

Although this kind of siege can't take down the main city, at most the acropolis can be taken down, and even if it is taken down, it can't be defended.

But this kind of military training is not empty at all, they are really attacking the city.

Because the progress of the siege is on Li Qing's side, it is counted as military exploits. If you want to be promoted, you must obtain military exploits.

Compared with the strict hierarchical system on Ghost Emperor's side, it is obviously more energetic and eager for military exploits.

At this moment, the vicious soldiers who attacked the city led the Yin army behind to launch waves of offensives. They were very brave. Some of the vicious soldiers had already stood on the city wall, expanding their occupation area, and moving towards the city gate.

Judging from this appearance, it is really necessary to open the city gate and occupy the Acropolis.

The Yin soldiers defending the city struggled to resist, but the ones who were killed retreated steadily. Ghost techniques, bows and arrows, and spears danced, creating chaos.

"This Li Qing is a traitor." Lu Ningxiang commented.

I nodded, the characteristic of a traitor is that he acts without scruples and does not compromise on means.

It recruits evil ghosts and spirits serving sentences in the depths of hell as soldiers, which is destroying the order of yin and yang reincarnation.

"Can you beat it?" I asked.

"With such a siege intensity, there is nothing to do. The main city's support has not yet been launched." Gui Ding shook his head and said, "However, it is not bad to occupy the top of the city. There will be rewards when you go back. If you perform well, you will be promoted." Sir."

"But the premise is...they can go back alive." Lu Ningxiang looked at the top of the main city with a flash of light in her eyes.

"Uh... yes." Gui Ding nodded hastily.

The voice just fell.

"Buzz!"

All I could hear was the sound of a uniform bowstring trembling.

Immediately, hundreds of heavy arrows with cold light flashed fiercely towards the place occupied by the fierce soldiers at the top of the city, with a speed as fast as a rainbow.

Seeing this, some of the fierce soldiers rushed towards the city gate like crazy, trying to escape, while some jumped directly from the top of the city.

The rest were directly pierced.

The side of the Acropolis facing the main city is designed to be unobstructed, covered with heavy arrows, and there is no place to hide.

In one wave, the murderous soldiers were cleared.

The evil soldiers defending the city immediately launched a counterattack, compressed the evil soldiers, and wanted to resume the occupation.

"They shouldn't gather together, but should rush into the city and mix with the Yin soldiers defending the city, so as to avoid being covered by heavy crossbows."

Lu Ningxiang commented, and added: "Looking at their situation, they are already powerless to attack, and it will be dangerous if they don't retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate on the back side of the Acropolis opened, and thousands of cavalry turned into a torrent, rolling out of the gate, about to outflank and charge, and counterattacked.

I raised my brows, so accurate in judging the situation.

But after thinking about it for a while, it became clear that Lu Ningxiang was once a high-level general of the Jin Army, so it was normal for her to be proficient in military affairs.

The murderous soldiers detected the movement of the defenders and realized that the momentum was gone, so they immediately rang the gong to withdraw the troops, and at the same time sent hundreds of cavalry to cover.

The morale of the fierce soldiers on the top of the city collapsed immediately, and they all jumped off the top of the city to retreat, and they were completely evacuated in a dozen breaths.

Seeing this, Lu Ningxiang said: "Let's go, intercept and kill the three murderous soldiers, and sneak in while there is chaos."

I nodded, good time.
