Text Chapter 1202: Forcibly Crossing the Qinglan River
"Rat people?"
Wei Qiu was a little startled.
Sikong Yao blinked her eyes, and said, "I've heard of this race group before. When I was young, I also saw some ratmen in the eastern wilderness. Brother Ayu, are the ratmen really coming to attack us?"
"It seems so, since A Yao knows that the rat man has seen the rat man, can you tell us in detail?"
"En." Sikong Yao nodded, and said: "The rat people are cruel by nature. Although they are called rat people, they are actually eight parts beast and two parts human. Rat people will eat people when they are very hungry, and this group is greedy." , I once heard that where the Ratmen went, there were only bones left in the whole village, they were more terrifying than the plague, and everyone avoided them, why did Chen Yu lure wolves into the house?"
"There's nothing you can't do if you're in a hurry." Situ Sen said, "Shuai Lin, since we might fight the Ratmen, do you have a plan?"
"Lulu said that the Ratmen are afraid of fire, so we need to prepare more fire starters and wrap them around the arrows of the white diamond arrows. Once we encounter the Ratman army, we will use the rockets to cover them up. Try not to fight with the Ratmen in close quarters, as it is inevitable." Unnecessary losses will be caused."
"Yes, this subordinate will prepare now."
Wei Chou said: "My lord, the raft and driftwood are already being prepared, and they will all be ready tomorrow morning. When will we cross the river and attack?"
"Go prepare the rocket first, and attack at dawn tomorrow. Ratmen are night-fighting creatures. We must capture the Qinglan River during the day and set up camp in the west of the river, otherwise we will be in trouble. Also, to fetch water tonight, after crossing the river, we must Make sure you have enough water."
"yes!"
...
After nightfall, the two sides were silent. Song Liangcheng's defenders only camped by the river, but there was no sign of taking the initiative to attack. No matter how bold Song Liangcheng was, he did not dare to take the initiative to attack. After all, the strength of the two sides was very different. Fighting against the nearly 300,000 main forces of the Gendan Camp and Bai Ze mercenaries, I am afraid that no army on the entire continent has a more than 30% chance of winning.
"Wow...wow..."
The sound of the river waves hitting the shore also brought a trace of damp breath and the smell of the river water. The temperature gradually warmed up, and the breath of the water seemed to have a feeling of revival.
Lin Muyu walked slowly on the bank of the river, followed by a group of royal guards, and Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi followed closely behind. At this time, the two girls were more like bodyguards, protecting Lin Muyu, the commander-in-chief of the three armies who had not stepped into the Mahayana Heaven.
"Song Liangcheng seems to have a lot of confidence." Tang Xiaoxi pouted, and said, "He dared to confront us across the river, and I don't know what his confidence is."
"The rat man...only the rat man can make him so confident." Lin Muyu said.
Qin Yinxiu frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ah Yu, did you feel something?"
"Um."
Lin Muyu looked to the southwest, and said: "My spiritual pulse technique sensed a strange aura appearing in that jungle, that forest...is called Maolin on the map, Xiaoyin Xiaoxi, let's go and visit? "
"Okay, let's go."
After ordering the imperial forest guards to return to the camp, the three of them went into battle lightly, walked around Song Liangcheng's camp on the waves, and headed straight for the lush forest in the southeast direction. From a distance, the lush forest was even a little lush. It is a coniferous forest and pine and cypress, so it maintains this lush green even in the cold winter.
It's just that there are a few more unstable factors in the current lush forest.
Lin Muyu and the other three entered the forest silently with extremely light footsteps, and then groped forward cautiously. The three divine weapon long swords were all hidden in the scabbards, and the light was not exposed.
After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Muyu raised his hand suddenly, signaling to stop, and then the three of them slowly squatted down in a thick bush, surrounded by damp and broken leaves, those leaves were even damaged by the cold winter. It came too soon to have sex, and the process of sex is only now beginning.
In the distance, there are no lights, and things can only be distinguished by the illumination of stars.
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi opened their beautiful eyes wide, and just looked into the distance. There, hunched figures appeared one after another. They looked like human beings, but they were not human. They were about 1.5 meters tall, and their heads were a bit ridiculous. The mouth protruded wildly forward, revealing a pair of front teeth, and a pair of fangs on both sides.
It's Ratman!
Tang Xiaoxi was a little shocked, just about to say something, but Lin Muyu gently covered her small mouth, and her eyes signaled her not to make a sound. The rat people have strong senses, and it would be bad if they heard something wrong.
"Haw... Gagaga..."
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
In the distance, two Ratmen were talking, a conversation that was completely incomprehensible.
Lin Muyu began to wonder how Chen Yu bought these ratmen, did they also talk like this?
"Look quickly..." Qin Yin whispered.
In the distance, more and more Ratmen appeared. Under the starlight, their expressions were very ferocious, with a cold light on their front teeth. There were more than 2,000 of them in number. Mao, the rat man who looked like an elder came to the hillside, raised the stick in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Jiajia chirp, chirp chirp, chirp chirp!"
I don't know what he's calling, but a group of Ratmen are waving their hands like crazy, no, it's two claws, those are sharp claws that can quickly dig the ground!
A group of Ratmen began to dig the ground one after another, and the dirt flew.
Lin Muyu frowned, and whispered, "They're digging holes..."
Tang Xiaoxi said: "Why... why did they make holes?"
"The burrow is their battlefield, so they dig it." Lin Muyu signaled the two MMs to retreat, staring at the rats in the jungle ahead, and said: "Once our army crosses the Qinglan River, I'm afraid we will inevitably follow them." deal."
"Um."
The moment the three of them exited the jungle, there was a scream from the left side: "Chirp, chirp!"
It's the scouts of the two Ratmen!
was found!
Lin Muyu immediately said: "Don't do anything, let me test how powerful the rat man is!"
As he said that, he rushed over with his bare hands, while the two Ratmen came with their teeth and claws.
"brush!"
One of them swooped quickly one by one, and its sharp claws volleyed in a bloody arc. Lin Muyu blocked it directly with his arm, and a "Peng" was shocked. In terms of strength alone, the ratman's strength is about equivalent to that of a master of the human realm. , although it is far from as strange as a demon, but at least it is stronger than ordinary people.
What was even more terrible was their movements. The second rat man flew to grab Lin Muyu's retreat, climbed up along his back, and bit his neck with its sharp teeth.
Lin Muyu did it on purpose, just wanted to know the speed and attack style of the Rat Man. Now that he knew it, the backhand without turning his head was just a punch. Suddenly, the starlight flashed away, and the head of the Rat Man was blasted into pieces. , Immediately afterwards, there was a faint pain on the wrist. It was another rat man's bite, and once he bit it, he refused to let go.
Sure enough, the cruelty of this creature is not inferior to that of the Armored Demon!
Lin Muyu's arm shook slightly, and his fighting spirit whirled, shattering the rat man's head, kicking it away, retreating in the blood mist, and said with a stern look: "If these rat men burrow and appear in our battle formation Among them, 100,000 Ratmen... I am afraid that even if the Long Dan Battalion destroys them, they will lose more than half of themselves."
"Then what do you want to do?" Qin Yin asked.
Lin Muyu pondered, and said: "Rat people are nocturnal creatures. A Yao said that during the day, the rat people's eyesight is very poor. They are not used to the strong light of the sun. My plan is to quickly defeat Song Liangcheng in the daytime tomorrow." Find the Ratmen's habitat before sunset, launch an attack first, and wipe out the Ratman army during the day."
"Are you sure?"
"There is no absolute certainty, but this is the only way. We don't have that much food and grass, so we can only quickly plunder the enemy's food and grass to supplement our own."
"Mu Mu, didn't you order Liu Buyi to supervise the food and grass?"
"An order is one thing, but whether it can be done is another."
"Um……"
Lin Muyu took a distant look at the forest where the Ratmen were. They dug holes here for nothing more than a shelter. They would sleep in the caves throughout the day tomorrow, and there would be a bloody battle at night.
...
In the early morning of the next day, the battle drums roared, the battle flags of the Long Dan Battalion and Bai Ze mercenaries were raised one after another, and rafts were launched into the water one after another, forming a single piece, almost paving the entire Qinglan River to the ground.
The troops of Wei Chou and Si Kongyao formed the first offensive echelon, and nearly 50,000 people forcibly crossed the Qinglan River.
The sound of war drums became more and more intense, arrows fell like rain on both sides of the bank, and the only remaining magic crystal cannons in the Gendan camp continued to roar away, falling into the enemy camp, causing chaos.
"Go forward, don't retreat!" Wei Chou held the Houyi bow in his hand, and kept shooting the opponent's crossbowmen, while urging the soldiers loudly.
The densely packed infantry shield soldiers of the Gendan Battalion raised their huge shields above their heads, forming a shield formation and paddling the raft forward. Then they hacked wildly, and Tianjue's soldiers raised their spears, and frantically poked at the soldiers crossing the river. In a blink of an eye, the Qinglan River was almost blood red.
Wei Qiu is well versed in the art of war, his military art is like a mountain, and his command is good. In less than 20 minutes, he has successfully crossed the river under his command. In a blink of an eye, he was fighting with Song Liangcheng's army on the shore. , but after all, Bai Ze's mercenaries were also quite elite, and they began to go ashore immediately, and there was an endless stream of rafts behind them, transporting a large number of Qin troops over.
The sounds of magic crystal crossbows and strong bows can be heard endlessly. Once the positional warfare started, Song Liangcheng's troops began to be defeated quickly. In terms of combat power, the Longdan Battalion surpassed the Southern Patrol Army by a lot, and almost every soldier could fight at the same time. One against three, or even one against five!
...
Fighting until noon, Song Liangcheng's troops suffered heavy losses, leaving nearly 30,000 corpses behind, and retreated to Jicheng without fighting behind closed doors, while Lin Muyu ordered the army to prepare for war and set up camp on the east bank.
In the afternoon, barrels of black beech oil were brought over. Lin Muyu ordered Situ Sen to lead 150,000 troops to set up a line of defense in the west of Jicheng, blocking Song Liangcheng's army in Jicheng, and then commanded Wei Chou, Sikong Yao began to order the army to enter Maolin.
