Chapter 487 Trying to Fend off the Enemy (10)

Although the results are good, this is not the solution to the problem after all. The little devil has suffered a loss once, and it is impossible to be fooled a second time. Such tossing is not a long-term solution after all.

"It's such a long day..." Zhao Chenggong was helpless looking at the rising sun. From yesterday until now, the whole night was a struggle between life and death. He finally survived the long night, but this day How should they live?

"Although we seem to have managed to get the enemy out of it and successfully carried out a sneak attack, we are still far from our ultimate goal. What should we do next? Such a small disturbance will not solve the problem." Si Xuanyi A look of sadness.

"Anyway, the purpose of the little devils right now is to get the people inside out. Let's not let them open the hole. As for how to kill these little devils, you can think about it slowly. If they can't get in, they can't achieve their goal. Even if they What if I don't leave?" Fang Yuanshan said.

"The question is how do we stop them? The method just now works, but it won't work the second time." Zhao Chenggong said angrily, "Why don't you think of a way for everyone."

"I..." Fang Yuanshan scratched his head, obviously he couldn't help it.

"In fact, Liu Xiaotian went inside and continued at the entrance. Blasting is also a solution to the problem. The hole is not so easy to open." Ye Feng said, "If I look at it, we have to continue to fight the war of attrition. We have no strength. What we did with them, we felt that we couldn’t afford it. In fact, the little devil couldn’t bear it even more. At least we have the help of the natives here. Even if the combat power is weak, we can be a guide. It's still unknown if you dare to come. Even if you come, it's not easy to dig this place. With such a toss and so many casualties, the upper echelons of the little devils are not fools. They can't continue to waste their troops here regardless of the cost. , so I don’t think it’s bad for us to consume it.”

"There is indeed some truth in what you said, but what if reinforcements from the little devils arrive? Then wouldn't we be even more blind at that time?" Si Xuanyi considered things and tried to be safe, but sometimes there are too many uncertain factors There is no way to really be safe. The reason why he tried every means to get rid of these little devils as soon as possible is actually to prevent this or that from happening. If the real devils' backup arrives, they will face more difficult problems. situation.

"But now we really have nothing to do." Ye Feng spread his hands, "What can we do with this few people? The devils don't come out, stick to the camp, and recharge their batteries. They don't know what's going on outside , If you know that we are the only ones who are definitely not afraid, they are just frightened by the environment here and what happened last night and dare not take risks easily, even if they don’t have the courage to come out for activities, but they have enough manpower and more than enough defense.”

"That's why I had to find a way..." Si Xuanyi frowned, "How many catapults can I use?"

"There should be two or three more. As long as his thing shows up, it will be bombarded by the little devil's mortar." Fang Yuanshan said.

"I can't even use all the explosives to flatten the devil's camp." Zhao Chenggong said.

"I observed the terrain just now. You can throw it over there, behind the slope. If the little devil doesn't come out, you won't be able to figure out the situation there for a while. Even if the environment can only have a general direction, you can fight for a while. " Si Xuanyi said.

"But what about the explosives? We have to keep some spares, we can't waste all of them here." Zhao Chenggong still didn't understand what he was going to do.

Si Xuanyi smiled: "No need for explosives..."

It didn't take long for everything to be deployed. This time, what they threw at the devil's camp was not explosives, but pieces of wood, logs ranging from one to two meters, and several catapults from behind the slope to the enemy's camp. Throwing in the camp, the momentum of this thing falling down is indeed not small, the dust in the camp of the devils was flying in the chaos of ping-pong, and the little devils all hid, relying on the gaps in the rocks to hurt them, but soon these The little devil found that things didn't seem to be so simple. It didn't take long for these messy logs to fall everywhere. Anyway, the wood would not explode, so the little devil didn't take it seriously. He thought the other party had run out of ammunition. If you want these things to hit them, the camp is built on the boulders between the mountains. Even when they throw explosives, they can find a suitable place to hide. How can these logs do anything to them?So the mortarman, grasped the direction, but couldn't see it. After firing a few shots, it didn't matter if it didn't have much effect, and he was busy fleeing back to avoid it. Or how powerful is that sentence?So they didn't take it seriously.

Just when they were wondering, a smell chilled their hearts, but the smell of kerosene, a part of the wood was actually filled with kerosene, they immediately understood what the other party wanted to do, but it was too late, and soon The bale of burning hay fell down, and the kerosene-smeared logs quickly caught fire. The devil's camp was full of fires one after another. The little devil really didn't expect this trick. The place they chose was easy to hide and lacked flammability. I wouldn't worry about this at all, but I didn't expect that the other party could throw firewood in and ignite it.

In fact, Si Xuanyi didn't intend to use this method to kill all the devils inside. He knew very well that doing so would only serve as a disturbance to a certain extent. Of course, it would wake up all your resting devils and cause them some trouble. So after igniting the contents inside, he continued to let these catapults throw firewood into it, bundles of licorice and dead branches, some flammable bundles of pines and cypresses, anyway, throw whatever is good into it.

Seeing that things were not good, the kid immediately bombarded them here with mortars, and then they gave up throwing them in. The fire in the devil camp was really raging. At the beginning, some people died because the fire was too close Those who escaped were shot coldly by them.

But soon the devils stopped showing their heads and hid away from their sight.

"At most, they won't be able to sleep..." Zhao Chenggong felt a little futile looking at the results of the battle.

"It's okay... Kill three, and they can burn some of their supplies. The temperature of the fire is enough for them to suffer. It consumes their drinking water. If there is no water, they should find a way. When the time comes We can also take advantage of the opportunity." Si Xuanyi didn't expect much at the time, he knew very well that the method of war of attrition was slow to take effect, and he had to have enough patience. Although he understood this truth, he was really anxious, but he didn't other ways.

At this moment, there were several explosions from the devil's camp, as if something had been ignited.

"It sounds like ammunition," Ye Feng said.

"Anything is fine..." Si Xuanyi said, "Little devils need less stuff, let's see how they hold on, when they can't hold on anymore, they should leave, and then we will say that we have a good chance to strike. "

Their back and forth tossing back and forth was at best a petty fight, and they were in such a stalemate with the little devil and occasionally fought coldly, but Si Xuanyi was not idle. He kept walking around the devil's camp, trying to come up with a better solution. A good way to solve the problem in front of him is to say a lot, but in the end he gave up all of them, because the methods he thought of are relatively difficult to implement, mainly because they don't have the strength, relying on them to fight There is no such thing as a tough battle. In fact, it is not easy for them to toss their troops to the current level.

In the morning, Xiaolulululu came with someone again. This guy actually came to work in the army. It turned out that the patriarch asked someone to prepare some meals for them. After this night of cooperation, the patriarch changed a lot about them and understood that they came The purpose here is not to spy on the holy land of their ancestors, so be wary, relax a little, and use this method to draw closer to each other.

All the food that was sent was wild game from the mountains, mainly meat. It was not too difficult to eat these things in the mountains, but it was much better than cooking them by yourself without hunting, especially for Si Xuanyi. They don't have time to do these at all and can only eat some dry food to satisfy their hunger. When they have delicious meals, they will naturally be much happier.

"Grandpa Woodcutter asked me to tell you that he is still working hard, don't worry, if there is a result, it will be so, I will tell you anytime and anywhere." Xiaolu said.

"How are you people who went in? Did you encounter any trouble?" Si Xuanyi asked while eating.

"Not yet, the location near the holy place has not been dug through, and the situation inside is still unclear." Xiaolu said, "But the people who came out said that the place is blocked, and you can get in by removing the stones. , I don’t know what’s going on inside.”

"Be careful of the devils inside, our people have also entered, so don't conflict, try to communicate with each other as much as possible." Si Xuanyi said.

"Don't worry, the patriarch has issued an order to provide you with the necessary help when you are inside, and has sent a guide. Although the language is not good, they can take you around some blocked places." Xiaolu said, "We People here will try their best to eliminate the enemies they encounter, which can be regarded as helping you relieve some pressure."

"Help us..." Zhao Chenggong shook his head, "It's a good idea, but you should save your own lives first."

"Don't underestimate people, our people in that cave are no worse than you, that is our territory and we are more familiar with that place than anyone else." Xiaolu said confidently.

"How is your life in the mountains? Looks like the food is not bad." Ye Feng asked while eating.

"Life in the mountains is very hard, but it's not a problem to have a full stomach. At least it's not that much trouble, and we don't have to worry that the war outside will affect us, but I didn't expect that we would still be unable to escape in the end. We are still hiding here for hundreds of years. Some people came to disturb us." Xiaolu said, "Our ancestors paid a lot when they arrived here. It is said that there were more than 2000 people when they first fled into the mountains, but less than 500 people came here in the end. For hundreds of years, we have fewer and fewer people, and now counting the old and the weak, women and children, there are only [-] people." Xiaolu said, "It was a remote mountain that was absolutely impossible for outsiders to reach, but now it is as big as it used to be. It's different, outsiders' territory is constantly expanding, while our living space is slowly shrinking."

Si Xuanyi could understand that in the era when their ancestors arrived, this place can be said to be a barren land, absolutely deep in the mountains, but after hundreds of thousands of years of historical changes, the scope of human activities has become wider and wider, and there is no place here. It's not as secretive as it used to be.

"I really don't know how these little devils got to know your secret here." Zhao Chenggong said, "It's been hundreds of thousands of years, and they can still find out here."

Xiaolu smiled slightly: "In every era, people have come to explore our secrets, but most of them have returned without success, but there are still a few who can come here and find us, although we try not to let go of anyone who has discovered us , but in the end some news will leak out. Our guides of each generation have to go outside to study, so that we will not be out of touch with the whole world. Outrageous, in many records, our place is a rare paradise in the world, a land of wealth, and even the legendary kingdom of God. That's why many people flock to this place even more, wanting to unravel this secret and even seek Something that doesn't exist in the world."

"You guys are so legendary? So we met a god." Ye Feng joked.

"What are the rumors? Can you tell me about it?" Zhao Chenggong asked with great interest.

"That's too much. Rumors say that our place is a holy place for immortals, with countless exotic flowers and fruits and elixir that can make people live forever. Some people say that this place is a paradise in the world, and our people can live forever. There are countless treasures." Xiaolu said, "In fact, we only have a group of natives here who drink blood, maybe in the eyes of you people, we are no better than savages?"

This little girl is not very old, but when she speaks, she has a somewhat mature feeling. From her conversation, Si Xuanyi can hear that she seems to have a broad mind and a good cultural foundation. I don't know if it is Yin Lu who teaches well, In other words, the so-called guides in their clan have the opportunity to systematically learn some outside knowledge, but this is not a bad thing for a closed race, after all, these people need to be in the same alley as the outside world, and They have been hiding in this mountain for generations, and if things go on like this, their race will become extinct sooner or later.

When several people were chatting, a member of the clan hurried over and said something to Xiaolu eagerly, Xiaolu's expression changed instantly, she turned to look at Si Xuanyi: "The enemy has already broken through the entrance of the Holy Land and entered the interior... ..."
