Indiana Jones

Chapter 519 Going Deeper (08)

The feeling of walking through this sarcophagus array is not good. Some sarcophagi have been damaged due to previous battles, and the corpses inside have been scattered. Any signs of corruption, it does look a bit like sleeping, but it lacks the vitality of a living person. They also saw one of them wearing Ming Dynasty clothing, which can be seen to have a history of hundreds of years. It is really incredible that it can be preserved so well.

"Your ancestors have fallen out." Zhao Chenggong habitually glanced at the sarcophagus to see if there were any funeral objects, but it was empty and nothing was found.

"Ancestors, please forgive us for failing to stop those outsiders from disturbing your purity." Yin Lu prayed very devoutly, carefully helping the corpse back into the sarcophagus.

"Don't waste time..." Si Xuanyi immediately called them to look for other people through this area.

When they arrived at that position, they found that there were only a few corpses left there, and all the people had left. They chased for a while before they finally found two wounded. These two people were separated from the main force during the battle. From their mouths, it seems that the situation of other people is not very good. The ammunition consumption is huge, not to mention that the wounded accounted for nearly one-third, and the number of people who are still capable of combat is probably less than [-], and there are more people scattered around. In this huge space, Li Siming is trying to gather these people together, but the effect is not obvious, and now they may have retreated to the vicinity of the pill room to take a precautionary rest.

"The alchemy room is the place where the ancestors and elders practiced alchemy, not far from here..." Yin Lu pointed in a direction, "It's over there."

"Take the two of them and let's go there..." Si Xuanyi said without hesitation.

Everyone set off immediately, and soon arrived at that place, and sure enough, they saw Fang Yuanshan leading the team defending outside. Seeing that it was Si Xuanyi, those people immediately rushed over with joy, but they were disappointed when they saw only a few of them , it seems that people here are looking forward to more reinforcements.

"How is the situation on your side?" Si Xuanyi asked Fang Yuanshan. In fact, he knew very well that even this kid came out to lead the team to defend, which meant that the situation inside was not optimistic.

"There are quite a lot of wounded..." Fang Yuanshan said, "The Internet is huge, and the number of fighters has decreased rapidly. The original advantage in numbers no longer exists, and the little devils are not much less than us."

"Where are the others?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"They're all inside, come with me." Fang Yuanshan led them inside, the woodcutter and Li Siming were there, but Lin Feng was not seen, but this was not unexpected, Si Xuanyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. After roughly exchanging information, what they didn't expect was that the patriarch was already dead. The old man couldn't stand such a toss at all. In addition, he was hit by a stray bullet and his neck was scratched by the exploding shrapnel. Now he can't even speak. It seemed that they couldn't hold on for long, Yin Lu and Xiaolu all cried after seeing this scene.

"It was purely an accident..." Li Siming shook his head, "The casualties are too great."

"Where did Lin Feng go?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"Take some good skills to investigate the enemy's situation." Li Siming said, "We must stop those little devils as soon as possible. They are opening the magic circle of the altar. The patriarch said that once the circle is opened, countless evil spirits will be released. By that time , not only us, maybe the whole world will suffer.”

"Do you believe this too?" Zhao Chenggong felt that this was too nonsense.

"Believe it or not at this time, in short, we have to prevent the little devils from destroying this place. It doesn't matter whether there is a legend or whether this magic circle is useful or not. This is their holy place and place of faith. If it is destroyed, then they This race may be coming to an end soon, what we saved is not only this place, but also their beliefs, after all, it has been preserved for thousands of years, it is itself a miracle that witnessed history, we absolutely cannot allow the little devil to destroy it." Si Sylphy said.

"Where is the magic circle?" Ye Feng asked.

"It's not far from the place where we fought just now." Li Siming said, "There is only one entrance to that place, which has already been occupied by little devils. We wanted to attack just now, but failed. If you didn't stir up trouble behind, we probably would Being entangled by those little devils and unable to get out."

"But those little devils seemed to have run very far when they retreated just now, and I didn't find where they were guarding." Zhao Chenggong recalled, and really couldn't remember any difference just now.

"It's not surprising. The entrance is very hidden. I thought they didn't find it just now." Yin Lu said.

"Do you know how much you missed?" Si Xuanyi was almost furious, "If you explained the situation clearly just now, we can directly occupy the entrance while the little devil is entangled there. Now the little devil is back on defense. , It will be difficult for us to attack again, what else are you hiding, you haven't told us."

"I don't know how bad things are." Yin Lu argued.

"If you hadn't hesitated from the beginning and said everything that should be said, we wouldn't have been so passive all the time. Think about it, how many people died because of your deliberate concealment. I won't say anything about your own people. The people I brought here are all elites of the local military command, good fighters in fighting the Japanese and killing the enemy, but now they all died in this deep mountain and old forest, because of your deliberate concealment, I respected you before because this is your place, but you But they didn’t respect us and didn’t believe us at all. Even when we cooperated in the end, we were still hesitant, telling the hidden things bit by bit, but until now you haven’t told us all the truth, you think we are What? Using us as a weapon?" Si Xuanyi really became more and more angry as he spoke.

"Why should we trust you? Every time you outsiders come here, the purpose is to rob us, even if you are really here to help, but what do you think of us? Savages or natives? You really come from the heart Have you respected us deeply? Have you seen us as human beings?" Yin Lu also roared, "We are just a weak race living in seclusion in the mountains, and the purpose of staying away from the world is to avoid wars and ensure the continuation of the ethnic group. Please come and help, you have to come."

"You are really a bunch of ignorant savages." Si Xuanyi was furious, but he felt vaguely in his heart that what Yin Lu said was not completely unreasonable. No one, including himself, did not regard these people who lived in seclusion in the mountains as Normal people look at them, and even call them natives directly in their words. Looking back now, there is indeed some contempt.

"Arguing, don't solve the problem, let's decide what to do as soon as possible." The woodcutter persuaded the two people, "Of course... If you think the quarrel can kill all these enemies, I don't mind you continuing."

Si Xuanyi rubbed his temples. This mission was really terrible. From the beginning to now, there was a feeling of unhappiness. Various situations occurred frequently. In fact, many of them could be avoided, but because of one way or another There were too many uncontrollable situations in the whole operation, and the emergence of these problems brought them the biggest difficulty is that the task progress was slow, the difficulty increased, and the casualties were heavy. The road is fine, but it is a responsibility that no one can bear because of these lives.

"There is no way but to attack by force." Li Siming knew this place better, so he said directly, "We have tried other methods, but they all failed in the end. The enemy's defense is very strict, but after all, they have limited manpower and are not enough to control all directions. , we can take advantage of the strange environment here to launch a surprise attack, provided that we can get close enough."

"You understand the situation and the battle deployment is up to you." Si Xuanyi said, "I just follow the command."

Li Siming was so impolite, he described the situation here in detail, and made a battle arrangement: "Although we don't have many people, we still have to be divided into two groups, one group attracts the attention of the enemy, and the other sneaks over. The floating sarcophagus is the focus of the enemy's defense, so the group responsible for attracting others' attention should be arranged there. The main attacking group walks from above and climbs down the stone wall. The light there is dim, and the enemy will not find it for a while. , or the old way, first use grenades and grenades, try to kill more than half of the defending enemies in the first round of attack, and take the entrance in the shortest time. We can move now, plus Yin Lu's clansmen, less than three Ten, although the ammunition is not sufficient, it can be dealt with for a while, success or failure depends on one action, we have no second chance."

"From top to bottom... The enemy is not stupid. They also know that there is no distinction between up, down, left, and right in this place, and they will not easily ignore that position." Si Xuanyi said.

"This is our only way at present, so if the enemy finds out, it can only turn into a strong attack, and we have no other way out." Li Siming said very helplessly.

"Okay..." Si Xuanyi nodded. He knew very well that Li Siming would not make such a decision unless it was absolutely necessary. This just shows that they have reached a very bad situation. There is no other way, at least for now they haven't thought of a more effective way than him.

"This is my way. As for how to group up, you have to give the order." Li Siming said to Si Xuanyi after finishing his thoughts. Although he agreed to be the commander just now, he just agreed to execute his own battle plan. Instead of taking over Si Xuanyi's power by taking over the power of the host.

To be on the safe side, they repeatedly deliberated on the entire plan, and finally finalized it after confirming that there were no major mistakes.

"We still have some explosives available, but it's not very convenient to use explosives in this kind of place, they..." Li Siming turned to look at Yin Lu on the other side.

"If possible, try not to destroy this place, after all, this is the resting place of our ancestors." Yin Lu understood that Li Siming was taking their feelings into consideration, "But if it really comes to a point where it's hard to understand, it's better to destroy the enemy. As for the method? ...as long as it works."

At this time, he couldn't care so much anymore. If he continued to look forward and backward, not only would they not be able to stop those little devils, but this place would also be destroyed.

"Since this is the case, then we can only use the simplest and most effective way to deal with the situation at hand..." Si Xuanyi thought carefully and began to make specific arrangements...

In fact, there are not many devils defending the entrance. They just guard the dangerous ground, which is an incomparable advantage for the attacking side, so there are not many soldiers, and there is quite an aura of guarding the gate...

Si Xuanyi's conjecture was correct, the attention of these little devils was not limited to one direction, and the sky above their heads was also within their monitoring range, so even a surprise attack from the top down was basically not much different from a strong attack. However, if they can successfully attract the enemy's attention and draw all the troops over, it is still possible to start from above. In the end, the plan they decided on was two groups of troops, and there was no distinction between primary and secondary. The final decision will be made according to the specific situation. Which group is the main attacker.

After the operation started, a group of people first sneaked into the sarcophagus formation and searched for all the ammunition on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers inside for backup. The devils also reported the situation here, but maybe because the light was too dark to see clearly, they just fired a few shots indiscriminately. , but basically the bullets didn't know where they flew.

As time passed and the deployment ended, they made some corresponding adjustments to the combat plan. This is their new deployment based on the situation they just observed...

Soon all the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in the sarcophagus formation would run out, rolling and flying towards the positions defended by the Japanese soldiers. It is not difficult to throw a person out in such a place where gravity is infinitely weakened.

Those little devils on defense couldn't figure out what they were going to do. Could it be that the other party ran out of ammunition and used these corpses as weapons to hit them?Is this too outrageous?Before, they couldn't collect the corpse of their companion because the situation over there was too complicated. Didn't the other party help them by doing so?

But later the defending Japanese soldiers discovered that these corpses seemed to be used to block their sight, because they could no longer see the situation near the sarcophagus array. Is this the real purpose of the enemy?What are they going to do in there?But soon they discovered that this was not the case. Those corpses were really thrown over, and soon approached their position. The faster ones had already landed near their position. They still didn't understand what the other party was going to do. , It wasn't until a corpse fell beside them that they realized that something was wrong. Something was burning on the corpse, and upon closer inspection it turned out to be a fuse...
