Text Chapter 585 Bamboo Cage Tactics

On February 3rd, dense fog covered the Canglin Valley. There was no wind this morning, and the dense fog floated in the valley like clouds, making the visible distance only 20 meters away at most.

"Damn, how can we fight in such a thick fog?"

At the front of Xiang Yu's army, a centurion of the Tang family sat on the earth wall and complained.

"Don't be impatient." The veteran at the side unscrewed the stopper of the water bag, took a sip of the strong wine, and said, "We can't see it, and neither can the demons."

The centurion frowned tightly: "I am the Tang family's army in Qihai City, why should we stand in the front line? Everyone knows that once the demons launch an attack, we will be crushed to pieces immediately. Whether the battle is won or lost, we are doomed to die. I said, old donkey, why are you not panicking at all?"

"Panic?" The veteran was at least sixty years old, wiped the wine stains from his mouth and said with a smile: "Why should I panic, everyone calls me old donkey head, my face is long enough, what's the matter?" Terrible, besides, I have never experienced anything in my life. I was a mercenary before the age of thirty, and I joined the army after the age of thirty. Barbarian, the woman who slept with Beimo, my life is worth it long ago. Now that I die here, I can earn a reputation as a hero of the empire. Maybe in some tavern, I was seen by the prostitute I slept with My name on the Zhen Guo Monument, I will never forget my prestige for the rest of my life!"

"Fuck..."

The centurion looked indignant: "You old fritter, I knew I couldn't talk to you too much, or my face would get thicker and thicker."

The old donkey smiled: "General, have you seen the fog this morning?"

"Huh? What's so interesting about the mist."

"Hey, you don't know something. Fog is also a science. You see, the fog this morning is flowing, and it is not a piece, but a piece of fog, which means that there must be a lot of movement in the distance. This kind of fog It's called 'Father Fog', I think... there must be no good things this morning, if the demons don't attack, there will probably be spirit beasts attacking."

"Hmph, you are a god, you old man, get out and go to the side to drink, don't interfere with my defense arrangement!"

The old donkey head laughed loudly, carrying a water bag and walking by the two-meter-high earth wall, looking at the mist in the distance, but laughed with a drunken eye, raised his head and drank the wine, the strong wine was gurgling It flowed down his throat, but when he was enjoying this kind of happiness, suddenly the back of his neck felt cold, and then he lost consciousness!

"Pfft!"

A giant iron spear pierced through the neck of the old donkey's head, and directly inserted it into the dirt wall. Even the neck was twisted, and the head almost fell off. It was a tragic death!

"damned!"

The centurion looked angry: "Beat the drum, the demons are coming!"

...

"Ho Ho Ho Ho..."

The roar of the armored demon came from the mist, and huge black shadows appeared one after another. Groups of armored demons were completely covered in armor, and they were carrying huge steel shields. Their faces were full of killing looks. What was even more surprising was that behind the first line of armored demons was a group of armored demons carrying trees, and 5-10 armored demons charged forward carrying tree trunks tens of meters long!

"Give me an arrow!"

The centurion's eyes were already bloodshot. At this moment, he was extremely afraid, knowing that this battle would not be won no matter what. The armored demon came prepared, and the trap in the rear was definitely useless.

"Roar!"

A armored demon leaped forward, slashed through the air with a tomahawk, and chopped off a very long head together with the helmet. Blood was splashed, and everyone was dumbfounded. This time, everyone realized that not only the number of demons was amazing, The quality of their weapons and armor has also been greatly improved!

Behind the earthen wall, the soldiers quickly shot arrows, but it was useless at all. The armored demons in the front row raised their shields high, blocked the arrows one after another, rushed close and swung their swords to kill, the strength of ordinary soldiers Wherever it could resist the armored demons, the first line of defense was breached in a blink of an eye, and the earth walls were smashed through by the armored demons one after another, which was useless.

"It's over, General, what should we do?" A corporal turned his head to look at the centurion with a livid face.

"What else can I do?" The centurion stared at him, but saw a armored demon rushing behind the corporal, and the spear pierced through the corporal's heart with a "poof", directly killing him. The body was thrown away, a pair of dark brown eyes stared at the centurion, and roared: "Gamba!"

The centurion was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse, turned around and left.

"Whoosh!"

Behind him, the sound of the spear breaking through the wind came, and when the centurion turned his head, he saw the last scene before his death. The spear pierced his abdomen and threw him off the horse directly. It was extremely tragic!

...

"Boom boom boom..."

There was the sound of war drums in the mist, but no one could see clearly, so they could only pick up their weapons in a hurry to resist the invading enemies in the mist.

"Avoid the trap! Avoid the pit!"

A messenger with a purple command flag behind him rode his horse through the crowd and ordered loudly: "Pass the Junhou military order, hold the position, avoid the pit, and lead the demons into the pit!"

Everyone calmed down a little at this time, but the screams of human soldiers in the distant mist were too frightening, and this calmness was replaced by fear in a blink of an eye.

Behind the trap formation, passing through the mist and clouds, it is impressive to see that the main force of Xiang Yu's army has already lined up here. The shield soldiers and spearmen are interlaced for defense. In the rear is the 50,000 Qiankun battle formation formed by Xiang Yu, with flags everywhere, very majestic.

On the west side of the Qiankun battle formation, under Shuai's banner, Qin Yin, Lin Muyu, Xiang Yu and others rode on the horses, but they couldn't see the battle situation in the distance, so they could only worry.

"Would the Five Mile Pit really be able to stop the Armored Demon Legion of the Demon Race?" Su Long asked.

"cannot."

Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said, "But it can dampen the spirit of the demons!"

Qin Yin's spiritual sense was already very sharp, and she could vaguely hear the desperate screams of soldiers from the empire before death, and felt very uncomfortable, but this is war, and everything she has to face.

Not long after, a soldier galloped over, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the armored demon used the long giant tree to charge forward continuously, using the giant tree as a bridge to cross the pit, and the soldiers have already entered half of the pit! "

"Is that really the case?"

Xiang Yu clenched his fists and said, "It seems that this is indeed a bloody battle, and the battle will only tell the outcome!"

Zeng Yifan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Didn't Marquis Pingnan pour black beech oil in the pit? If he poured black beech oil and fired it with a rocket, the front position would immediately turn into a sea of ​​flames. As many as come, as many will die."

Xiang Yu shook his head: "There are only swords in the pit, but no black beech oil."

"you!"

Zeng Yifan turned pale with anger, he knew that Xiang Yu was well versed in the art of war, if he didn't pour the beech oil, it could only be because he didn't want to use this method to stop the demons at all.

Lin Muyu frowned and asked, "I don't know how General Xiang Yu plans to retreat from the enemy?"

"this is very simple."

Xiang Yu stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said with a slight smile: "A large amount of black beech oil has been poured into the last pit. As soon as the main force of the armored demon comes over, we will launch an impact and push them all into the black beech oil. The demons have prepared ten thousand giant ballistas!"

Giant Ballista, a new type of weapon developed by the Weapons Department of the Ministry of War, a weapon that can project a huge crossbow.

Lin Muyu took a closer look, and sure enough, Xiang Yu's battle formation did have giant catapults. He almost gathered all the catapults of the entire army together. If this is the case, perhaps it can indeed win by surprise!

Moreover, in today's foggy weather, the Winged Man in the air can't see the situation of the human position clearly, maybe the shallow wind will be fooled!

...

But at this moment, there was a scream in the air!

"What's the matter?" Lin Muyu hastily pulled out the Star Sword and looked up at the sky. Wei Chou, Situ Sen and others also drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, while Qin Yan held a spear and led a group of imperial guards to guard Qin Yin. around.

"It's Yiren!" Wei Chou said loudly.

"Get ready, shoot all the arrows into the air!" Su Muyun shouted in a low voice.

"No!"

Zeng Yifan waved his hand, and said: "The Yiren's cry is a full five hundred meters away from us, this distance will not hurt them at all, it will only confuse them, wait, let's see what the Yiren want to do! "

At this moment, there was a sudden "buzz" in the air, and a group of black shadows descended from the sky, falling straight into Xiang Yu's 50,000-strong battle formation!

"Boom!"

Bamboo splinters and weeds splashed, and this black mass was actually wrapped with an armored demon carrying a long knife. After stepping out of the protective circle, he roared and stabbed the long knife into the chest of an imperial soldier. Inside, blood splashed out, it swept the weapon suddenly, split the soldier in two, and the long knife quickly slashed at several other people!

"Oh My God……"

Qin Yin's heart trembled when she saw it. Now she finally understands what the shallow wind is cutting down bamboo and collecting weeds for. The purpose of cutting down bamboo is to make bamboo cages, and the weeds are used to fill the bamboo cages and reduce the impact of the armored demon falling to the ground. These armored demons were transported by the Wingman Legion to the sky above the formation and dropped directly from the sky. This kind of tactic can only be used by the demons!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

It was like raining in the sky, countless armored demons descended from the sky, Xiang Yu's soldiers were caught off guard, many were killed directly, and some of the armored demons were injured after landing, but their viciousness remained undiminished, and they waved soldiers. Blade hacked and killed in the crowd!

"Luders!"

An armored demon roared, and immediately many armored demons dropped from the air rushed forward, heading straight for the giant ballista!

Lin Muyu, Xiang Yu, Luo Xin and the others felt chills in their hearts. The horror of Qian Feng was here. It wasn't that he didn't know Xiang Yu's plan, but he knew that Xiang Yu was waiting for him with a giant ballista, but he could Surprise victory!

...

"Buzz!"

Another behemoth fell down from the sky, it was an extremely powerful armored demon, it shattered the bamboo cage in the air, and pierced Qin Yin's head directly with the spear in his hand with a cold glow.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Qin Yan shouted hastily.

Qin Yin looked up, and there was a chill on Qianhua Fuyu's beautiful face, she opened her palm, and a golden ice crystal shot into the sky!

Sky Dragon Crystal!

"Boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, the armored demon directly volleyed into pieces of flesh and blood, and the blood rained down one after another, splashing inch by inch on the battle armor around Qin Yin's body, and everyone was stunned again. What kind of cultivation level Qin Yin has reached now? The extent of it is no longer known.
