The Pili camp's muskets are sharp, but they need to be reloaded after one round of firing. If the magic cultists guarding the stronghold have other arrangements, they can attack the two war corps at the gate of the stronghold and rush under the wall. They will be defeated by the opponent's stronghold.

Archers on the wall, crossbows and stone carts combined to attack

In recent years, Zhu Hong has led the Hushi to guard the "Evil Dog Gate" trade fleet and has made many attacks to destroy the strongholds and lairs of Japanese pirates. The name of the "God of War" is no longer known in the southeastern coastal area. With the accumulation of war experience,

He also acts more cautiously

Because whether the general's decision is correct or not will directly affect the lives and deaths of dozens and hundreds of subordinates, what Zhu Hong cannot tolerate the most is the sacrifice of his companions.

Ximen Tong said: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhu Hongdao: "First cut down the trees to build some large shields and send some Yunti disciples to attack the stronghold to test the strength of the demonic cultists guarding the stronghold before making any plans."

Ximen Tong frowned and said: "That will waste at least one or two hours. It's too slow. I think it's better to just rush over and take down the best of the village gate in one fell swoop. Senior brother, don't you think so?"

This time, the four small teams led the attack on Zagu Village. Hua Bushi ordered Chief Yu Qianli to decide how to act.

Yu Qianli stared into the distance and did not answer Ximen Tong's question. Instead, he pointed to the hillside and said, "Can you see those straws under the wall? Why are they there?"

As he pointed out, there were indeed a lot of bundles of straw and some broken wood laid on the ground about twenty feet outside the village wall. September and late autumn were the harvesting season in the rice fields, and the straw that had been threshed was placed in the open space.

It’s not surprising that he fell down [

Li Hu said: "Senior Brother, I suspect that there is something strange about those straws. How about I take dozens of disciples and rush over and walk around to find out if there are any traps? We don't have to go through the trouble of cutting down trees to make shields."

Yu Qianli said: "You better be careful and come back immediately if you find anything strange."

Li Hu promised and was about to pull out his horse and set off when Ximen Tong said: "I will go with Fourth Junior Brother."

Seeing Yu Qianli nodding in agreement, the two immediately ordered fifty Pili camp disciples and rushed towards the hillside with a shout.

Li Hu and Ximen Tong galloped forward, and the fifty knights at the front maintained their formation, and soon they were approaching thirty or forty feet outside the village wall. They were already within the range of the crossbow, and suddenly there were sparse spots on the stone wall.

The flying arrows were shot down, and the disciples from the Pili camp raised their muskets to fight back.

In terms of long-range attack power, the firearms equipped by the disciples of the Perak Camp are much more powerful than bows and arrows. Suddenly, there was a continuous "Beeping" explosion, and lead flew straight to the wall, and stone chips flew into the air. The other archers did not dare to show their heads.

Hiding behind the wall, drawing the bow and shooting, there is no way to talk about the accuracy of the shot, which poses no threat. Even the crossbows on the wall cannot aim and fire towards the city under the suppression of the muskets.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, more than fifty riders rushed close to the ground within twenty feet of the wall where the ground was covered with straw.

It was different from what we had guessed before. There was no trap trap under the straw. The unusual thing was that Li Hu and Ximen Tong were galloping at the front, so they could clearly see it.

At this time, I could only hear the "rumbling" sound on the stone wall, but the stone-throwing carts began to throw stones. Twenty feet had reached the range where the stone-throwing carts could throw, but there were only a few throwing stones on the stone wall.

It's not difficult to avoid the falling rocks as long as you pay a little attention.

With a "bang" sound, a round stone fell on the ground next to Li Hu's mount, smashing it into pieces. Li Hu only smelled a pungent smell. When he stared at it, his face suddenly changed and he yelled: "The enemy is going to attack with fire."

Everyone, please retreat immediately”

It turns out that the stones thrown out by these stone carts were not cobblestones at all, but clay pots the size of wine jars. The pots containing black oil fell to the ground and smashed, and the black oil splashed everywhere, and a large area immediately flowed out.

At this time, Ximen Tong was also aware of it and loudly shouted orders to retreat. All the disciples from the Pili Camp reined in their horses and turned around.

More than ten clay pots filled with black oil were smashed on the ground, and then a row of rockets were shot from under the stone wall, instantly igniting the black oil and the fire started.

This fire attack method of throwing oil cans was also used by the "Evil Dog Gate" when they were trying to bring down the "Wealth Alliance" in Henan Province, but they did not expect that they would be used by the devil today on themselves.

Fortunately, Li Hu and Ximen Tong saw the opportunity quickly, and all the Pili camp disciples were highly skilled and well-trained in riding. As soon as they heard the order, they galloped away. Most of them galloped back in time. Only the last two or three riders were burned, but they were quickly extinguished. The fire on the horse was only slightly injured and not serious [

The fifty riders retreated to the hillside. Everyone turned around and looked at the stone wall of Zagu Village. In front of it, there was thick smoke and flames rising into the sky, igniting a sea of ​​​​fire several feet high.

When Si Xiao led the Perak Battalion assassins to attack Zagu Village, Hua Bushi was riding a horse on the mountain road at the southern foot of Saintess Peak.

There were more than 400 heroes from various factions who attacked Shenxian Cliff. Compared with the number of troops who attacked the five Tibetan tribes, although their strength was slightly different, they were quite different. They could definitely be called a cloud of masters. The lineup was extremely luxurious.

Abbot Yuantong, Baoxuan Taoist Tang Zilin, Gu Fanji, Lingguo Master Pain Shen Ni, Fei Yunzi, each of them are the leading figures in charge of a sect, and their martial arts are all at the peak level, and those accompanying them are also from various sects. elite masters

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this group of people brought together the strongest force of the Baidao sect in the world of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the two masters in the "Evil Dog Gate", Leng Miansou and Jade Fairy, are also accompanied by the forty-nine Qingyun Guards.

More than half of the Xiong family's large tribe was damaged in a battle a few months ago. Now they have returned to Okura Island with the two elders of "Wanjintang". Xiong Bailing and Xiong Tiannan and his son did not go back to follow Sima Rulan. Rokawa Jing is also in the team at the moment

Chu Yiyi, Meng Huan and Bai Yiling were both left in the camp at the foot of the mountain by Hua Bushi, responsible for liaising with the troops from various groups for the attack. There were also 300 disciples from each faction left in the camp for support.

Chu Yiyi is not strong in martial arts, but he is thoughtful and thoughtful. He is very suitable to have Bai Yiling and Meng Huan to help him deal with problems. As for the other seven sects, there are certainly many masters, but because of the gap between each sect, if an accident really happens. It is inevitable that the rescue dispatch will be biased, which is not reassuring.

According to the path drawn by Tang Tiexin's legacy, the group of people walked for two hours and reached the mountainside.

It was noon at this time. A stream formed by the melted snow from the mountains was flowing on the roadside. On the green grass in the distance, a group of sheep looked like rolling balls of cotton. The woods beside the road were dense and green with cedar, fir and The overlapping branches of spruce trees are like giant umbrellas holding up the sky, leaving only speckled shadows of the sun.

The scenery among the primitive mountains and forests is breathtaking

However, no matter how good the scenery is, everyone is still in a mood to enjoy it. Apart from always being on guard against whether there are enemies ambush around, all everyone wants is to climb to the top of the mountain quickly so that they can capture the demon's lair on the Immortal Cliff.

After walking for more than half an hour, the road ahead began to get steeper. It was too difficult for the horses to climb up. As the height increased, the trees gradually disappeared. The mountain was full of exposed rocks and sparse weeds. Looking up, you could see the top of the Saint-Jermain Peak. The silvery white is so beautiful

It didn't take long before we arrived at a world covered in ice and snow above the snow line. There was no road in front of us, and the horses couldn't go any further.

Everyone had to dismount and walk, leaving several disciples to guard the horses.

Above the snow line, the mountain becomes steeper. The ground is covered with ice and snow, making it very difficult to climb. The mountain wind is biting and freezing. However, those who have come here are martial arts masters who have deep internal strength and are not afraid of the cold wind. They use Qinggong and body skills to climb up. It is not very difficult.

Hua Bushi, on the other hand, put on the fur that had been prepared long ago and was carried by Sima Rulan, but he could keep up with the speed of everyone.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard screams from the snowy slope ahead, followed by the sound of several clashes of weapons. The eight "Kongtong Sect" disciples who opened the way in front rolled down the slope with screams.

The "Kongtong Sect" is famous for its strange martial arts. These eight people are the direct disciples of Fei Yunzi. They use the Five Elements Wheel, the Tiger Basket, the Flying Claw, the Chain Flail, the Iron Pipa, the Heaven-shaking Seal, the Nail Rake, and the Emei Thorn. Eight kinds of strange weapons can also be combined. Forming an "Eight-sided Strange Army Formation" to respond to the enemy's offensive and defensive strength, they are known as the "Eight Heroes of the Western Frontier" in the Jianghu area and are quite famous in the Gansu and Shaanxi areas.

Because of this, when Hua Bushi asked who was willing to open the way in front of the team, Fei Yunzi took the initiative to ask Ying to send the eight heroes. However, he did not expect that two people were injured as soon as they encountered an enemy attack.

It’s no wonder that the Western Frontier Eight Heroes were hiding too well. The raiders who showed up to attack were four demon cultists dressed in white and holding steel knives. They dug a hole in the ground and huddled in the hole. Their bodies were covered with ice and snow. It was all a silvery white environment, and there was nothing unusual at all. When these eight people came closer, these demonic followers suddenly jumped out of the ground. It was inevitable that they would be injured by being caught off guard.

Although the martial arts of the people in the White Road are high, they often do not have much experience in dealing with surprise attacks and assassinations.

After the two were injured, the "Eight Directions Strange Weapon Formation" could not form a bond. The remaining six people each held their own weapons and fought with each other. However, the four demon cultists were not willing to fight and ran up the hillside for six miles. They were not willing to give up. They immediately used their Qinggong skills to catch up.

The snow slope here is very steep. There are two protruding rocks thirty feet above. There is only a pass six or seven feet wide that can pass through.
