Text Chapter 1203: The Grim Revenge
The soldiers who entered Maolin were all carefully selected. Twenty people formed a group. Among them, twelve shield soldiers formed a circular shield formation outside, five spearmen inside were responsible for assault, and three strong archers were responsible for long-range shooting. In this way, even if such a battle group is attacked by the Ratmen, it will not completely collapse.
Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi also entered Maolin together, watching buckets of black beech oil poured into the mouse holes, but the underground mouse holes extend in all directions, and no one knows how many holes those rat people have dug. What can be done is to pour black beech oil into the hole when you see it, or just seal it with a big stone.
The smell of black beech oil was very pungent and unpleasant. Not long after, ratmen rushed out of the cave, screaming sharply and hitting the heavy shields of the combat team, scurrying around looking for possible targets, but the gentian The battalion and Baize mercenaries were too well prepared. These ratmen were covered in black beech oil, and they could not escape the fate of being hacked to death in the end.
More and more Ratmen rushed out, and at least a thousand Ratmen rushed out in the past hour. They were unwilling to wait for death, so they had to give it a go.
Wei Chou rode over and said respectfully: "We have used up all the black beech oil, Commander Lin, do you want to light the fire?"
"Um."
Lin Muyu nodded: "Let the soldiers who are stained with black beech oil stay away from the flames and light the fire."
"yes!"
As soon as Wei Chou's subordinates ordered the flag to be raised, countless torches were immediately thrown into the cave, and the sound of "buzzing" continued instantly. The black beech oil is not generally flammable, and long flames are sprayed out from the caves. , and even the sound of explosions came from the ground, and the ground swelled and shook one after another. The tragedy of this underground fire far exceeded everyone's imagination.
"alert!"
Sikong Yao ordered loudly.
All over the mountains and plains, countless soldiers of the Qin Army raised their shields one after another, and carefully looked at the openings of the burning holes. Soon, balls of fire burst out from the ground, and they were the ratmen who were already covered in fire!
Wei Qiu quickly shot one arrow at a time and said loudly: "Don't approach them, shoot them from a distance or stab them with a spear!"
The random arrows rained like rain, and every combat team fought on their own, shooting sharp arrows out one after another, but the impact of the Ratmen was very powerful, and they did not die immediately after being caught on fire. Some shield formations were breached, and soldiers fell into the sea of flames, screaming one after another.
Lin Muyu drew his sword and rushed out, the sword energy raged, killing the ratmen in pieces, and Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Zhulong, Feng Zhanlin and others also dispatched one after another, and maybe they would be able to kill one more ratman. One less soldier died in battle.
The battle continued until near dusk, and the entire forest was full of scorching smells. The wounded soldiers returned to the camp one after another. Under Lin Muyu's order, defense lines began to be set up around the forest.
...
"A quick count."
Sikong Yao came over with a blood-stained long sword in hand, and said: "There are more than 13,000 Ratman corpses outside, and the ones in the cave are not very clear, but obviously these are not the full strength of the Ratmen."
Lin Muyu nodded: "Don't count, there are more than 60,000 rat-man corpses in the cave, and together, there are about 80,000 rat-man corpses, which means... there are 20,000 rat-men who have escaped, or ...These ratmen did not come to Maolin, by the way, did you find a ratman with a white scarf among the corpses?"
"You mean the White-collar Ratman King?"
"Oh? His name is White-collar Ratman King?"
"That's right." Sikong Yao smiled slightly and said, "Because the fur on the neck is white, it looks like he is wearing a white collar, so he is called the White-collar Ratman King. With the Ratman King, it is even more impossible to explore the cave, I have already ordered all the caves to be sealed."
"Be careful tonight."
Lin Muyu said worriedly: "Perhaps the remnants of the Ratmen will take revenge on us tonight. All battalions are ordered to be alert. All soldiers sleep on their guns and prepare white diamond arrows and rockets. Once the Ratmen appear, they will be shot directly."
"yes!"
This night, of course, was not easy. The Ratman army had suffered so much in Maolin, it was impossible for them not to take revenge. After all, the Ratmen were wild beasts, and the revenge of wild beasts was the most terrifying.
...
At night, the moon is in the sky.
After dinner, Lin Muyu couldn't sleep, and took a few imperial guards to patrol the camp in person. In fact, Wei Qiu, Si Kongyao, Situ Sen and others didn't sleep either. The possibility of being attacked tonight is too great. I dare not sleep.
By midnight, most of the soldiers in the battalion had fallen asleep. They were exhausted after a day of fighting, and they were really tired.
Lin Muyu was walking on the edge of the camp, and suddenly stopped, looking at the ground.
"Marshal, what's the matter?" a royal guard asked.
Lin Muyu carefully sensed the fluctuations from the spirit pulse technique, and said: "The Ratmen are here... At least tens of thousands of Ratmen have already arrived, and soon their caves will be dug under our feet. Immediately send an order to beat the drums For the number, prepare to meet the enemy!"
"yes!"
Signal flares soared into the sky, and the camp was full of flames. The sleeping soldiers woke up one after another, walked out of the camp one by one, and quickly formed a combat team of 20 people. The Ratmen are coming!
Sure enough, the sound of soil rippling was constantly coming from the ground!
"boom!"
In an instant, dozens of soldiers fell together, the ground under their feet was hollowed out, and the fallen people screamed again and again, and were almost killed by a group of locust-like ratmen almost instantly, one after another, more and more The entrance of the cave appeared under the camp, and the Ratmen flew out, rushing towards the crowd densely.
"Shoot the arrows and kill them all!"
There was the sound of arrows leaving the string everywhere, but the Ratman had strong vitality and survived the injury, still brandishing his sharp claws and roaring towards everyone.
In a panic, Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi appeared together in the center of the camp, where there were the most ratmen, and the camp had already been taken. The bodies of two royal guards were placed among the ratmen. A ratman with a white scarf The man roared at everyone with a sharp voice, it is the white-collar rat king, he finally appeared!
In the big hole behind the Ratman King, densely packed ratmen poured into the camp, and soon gathered into a large area, tens of thousands in number!
"As expected, a tough battle is about to be fought." Wei Chou looked indifferently.
Lin Muyu held the long sword in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyin and Xiaoxi hold the ground, everyone get out of the way, let the armored demon battalion face them head-on, and the archers aim and shoot! The shield protects and blocks all the ratmen!" in the middle!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Everyone shouted loudly, a giant shield taller than one person formed a piece, and after the cavalry stepped aside, behind them was a group of armored monsters carrying battle axes, war hammers, and spears, and their eyes had blood-red rays of light , killing intent awe-inspiring, after a roar, they fought together with the Ratman army. In terms of strength, the armored demon is far above the Ratmen, and the whole body is covered with hard carapace. The Ratmen can't bite through it at all. Demons are like the natural nemesis of the Ratmen.
In the air, the shattered bodies of the Ratmen fluttered in disorder, and the stench filled everyone's nostrils.
Wei Qiu personally commanded the bow and arrow battalion to shoot and kill, avoiding the armored demon battalion, and directly rained arrows on the ratman group. Although the ratman king ordered several times to break through, he couldn't break through the defense of the shield array, so that they On the contrary, the menacing attack on the camp has turned into being caught in the urn.
"Chirp plus! Haw plus!"
The Ratman King roared fiercely.
"It's not good, they want to escape!" Sikong Yao said loudly.
Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said, "I can't escape!"
Before the words were finished, the five-fingered king's fighting flames surged one after another, the elephant's invisible tactic was launched, and a majestic majesty descended from the sky. After the sound of "Peng", the cave where the Ratman King led the Ratman army came was crushed. Then there appeared a series of flames, which were the figures of the Xing Tian Army, and it could be said that there was no way to enter the sky and no way to enter the earth.
"Kill them all, leave no one behind!" Lin Muyu whispered.
Shooting and killing with random arrows, few of the more than 10,000 Ratman troops even escaped, and basically all of them were buried under the sharp edge of the white diamond arrows.
...
The battle didn't end until dawn. The Qin army won a complete victory, and Lin Muyu personally chopped off the head of the Ratman King, and gave it to Song Liangcheng in Jicheng as a gift.
After a short rest for one morning, Lin Muyu issued an order that Wei Chou led a hundred thousand people to bypass the mountains from Maolin and block Jicheng's retreat from the east. The city's food roads and all reinforcement roads.
In the afternoon, the breeze is rippling.
On the verdant mountains, Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi and others climbed high and had a panoramic view of Jicheng. This is just a small city with a population of less than 100,000. To stick to Jicheng is just a dead end.
Amidst the sound of horseshoes, a royal guard galloped over: "Your Highness, Marshal, Song Liangcheng has sent a letter!"
"Bring it."
"yes!"
Lin Muyu unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and said, "Song Liangcheng seems to want to seek peace."
Situ Sen said: "What kind of summation method?"
"As long as Wei Chou gets out of Jicheng's east retreat, he is willing to lead the southern patrol army to retreat eastward, give up Jicheng, and give us 700,000 stones of food and grass, and 5,000 catties of gold."
"What does the marshal mean?" Situ Sen asked with a hint of worry.
Lin Muyu smiled, with a bit of grace in his smile, but more of hatred, and said: "Song Liangcheng set up an ambush in Bugu Mountain to kill my Xu Jiantao, did he think it would be so easy to write off the account? Order, tomorrow When the siege began, Wei Chou defended the east road to the death and did not let anyone under Song Liangcheng's subordinates go. This battle does not require any prisoners, but anyone who has the blood of Xu Jiantao and the brothers Long Danying on their hands will be killed without pardon. I will slaughter them all. People from this city, come to comfort Xu Jiantao's spirit in heaven!"
Qin Yin: "..."
Tang Xiaoxi: "..."
But Situ Sen knelt on the ground, tears filled his eyes: "This subordinate requests to be the vanguard. If I can kill these thieves and avenge Xu Jiantao, I, Situ Sen, will die without regret!"
Lin Muyu nodded, and said, "Chen Yu and Yang Shang always thought we were barbarians, so... let them see the ferocious revenge of our Great Qin Empire..."
"yes!"
