Chapter 585: Bamboo Cage Tactics


On February 3rd, thick fog filled the Canglin Valley.

There was not a trace of wind in the early morning.

The thick fog floated like clouds in the valley, making the visible distance only 20 meters away at most.

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

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

"Don't be impatient."

The veteran on the side unscrewed the stopper of the water bag, took a sip of strong wine, and said: "We can't see it, and the demons can't see it either."

The centurion frowned: "I am the Tang family's army in Qihai City.

Why should we be on the front line?

Everyone knows that once the demons launch an attack, we will be crushed into pulp immediately.

Regardless of this Whether we win or lose the battle, we are destined to die.

I said, Old Donkey, why are you not panicking at all?"

"Panic."

The veteran was at least sixty years old.

He wiped the wine stains from his mouth and said with a smile: "What do I have to panic about?

Everyone calls me Old Donkey Head.

My face is long enough.

What's there to be afraid of?"

, Besides, I have never experienced anything in my life.

Before the age of thirty, I worked as a mercenary and traveled freely.

After I turned thirty, I joined the army and followed The Tang army fought in the south and north, drank the strong wine of Lingdong, killed the barbarians in the south, and slept with the women of the northern desert.

My life has been worth it for a long time.

If I die here, I can still gain the reputation of a hero of the empire.

Maybe in some tavern, the prostitute I slept with will see my name on the national monument and will never forget my reputation."

"grass" The centurion looked indignant: "You old fool, I know I can't talk to you too much, otherwise my face will become thicker and thicker."

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

"Well, 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 sheet, but a piece of fog.

This means that there must be a lot of movement in the distance.

This kind of fog It’s called Fierce Mist.

I think there will be no good things happening this morning.

If the demons don’t attack, there will probably be spiritual beasts attacking.”

"Hmph, Shen Shen Nao Dao, you old fool, go out and drink on the edge, don't interfere with my defense arrangements."

The old donkey laughed loudly, holding a water bag and walking beside the two-meter-high earthen wall.

He looked at the mist in the distance, but he laughed drunkenly, raised his head and drank to himself, the liquor was gurgling.

It flowed down his throat, but just as he was enjoying this pleasure, he suddenly felt a cold feeling on the back of his neck, and then lost consciousness.

"Pfft" A giant iron spear pierced the old donkey's neck and stuck it directly into the earth wall.

His neck was even twisted and his head was about to fall off.

He died tragically.

"Damn it" The centurion looked angry: "Bang the drum, the demons are coming to kill you."

"Ho ho ho" The roar of the armored demons came from the fog, and huge black shadows appeared one after another.

Groups of armored demons were covered in armor and carried huge steel shields.

Their faces were filled with murderous looks.

What is even more surprising is that behind the first line of Armor Demons is a group of Armor Demons carrying trees. 510 Armor Demons charged forward carrying tree trunks dozens of meters long.

"Set me an arrow" The centurion's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.

At this moment, he was extremely fearful.

He knew that this battle could not be won no matter what.

The armored demon came prepared, and the trap at the rear would definitely be of no use.

"roar" An armored demon leaped over, slashed with a battle ax in the air, and chopped off a very long head together with his helmet.

Blood spattered, and everyone was stunned.

This time, everyone realized that the demons were not only astonishing in number, The quality of their weapons and armor has also been greatly improved.

Behind the earthen wall, the soldiers fired arrows rapidly, but it was of no use.

The armored demons in the front row raised their shields high and blocked the arrows one after another.

After rushing closer, they slashed with their swords.

The strength of ordinary soldiers Wherever the armored demons could resist, the first line of defense was breached in the blink of an eye, and the earthen walls were broken through by the armored demons one after another, rendering them useless.

"It's over, general, what should we do?"

A corps commander looked back at the centurion with a livid face.

"What else can I do?"

The centurion stared at him, but he saw an armored demon rushing behind the captain.

The spear pierced the heart of the captain with a "pop" sound, and directly tore his body.

He 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 his horse and turned away.

"Whoosh" Behind him, the sound of a spear breaking through the wind came.

When the centurion turned around, he saw the last scene before his death.

The spear pierced his abdomen and threw him directly off the horse.

It was extremely tragic.

"Dong dong dong" The sound of war drums could be heard in the fog, but no one could see clearly.

They could only pick up their weapons in a hurry to fend off the attacking enemies in the fog.

"Avoid the pits, avoid the pits" A messenger with a purple flag behind him rode his horse through the crowd, shouting an order: "Send the military order from the emperor, guard the position, avoid the traps, and lead the demons into the traps."

Everyone calmed down a little at this time, but the screams of human soldiers that kept coming from the distant fog were too scary, and this calmness was replaced by fear again in an instant.

Behind the pit formation, through the mist and clouds, it was clearly visible that the main force of Xiang Yu's army was already in formation here.

Shield soldiers and spearmen were staggered for defense.

Behind them were dense arrow boxes, ballistas, archers, etc., and then At the rear is Xiang Yu's 50,000-strong Qiankun battle formation, with flags everywhere and very majestic.

On the west side of the Qiankun battle formation, under the commander's banner, Qin Yin, Lin Muyu, Xiang Yu and others were riding on war horses, but they could not see the battle situation in the distance and could only worry.

"Can the Five Mile Trap really stop the Demon Clan's armored demon army?"

Su Long asked.

"cannot."

Xiang Yu squinted 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 faintly hear the desperate screams before death from the distant imperial soldiers.

She felt very uncomfortable, but this was war, and it was everything she had to face.

Not long after, a messenger came galloping over, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Majesty, the Armored Demon is using the long giant tree to continuously advance forward, using the giant tree as a bridge across the pit.

We have already reached half of the pit."

"Is that really the case?"

Xiang Yu clenched his fist and said: "It seems that this is indeed a bloody battle.

We can only decide the outcome through a battle of positions."

Zeng Yifan was stunned for a moment and said: "Didn't Marquis Pingnan pour beech oil into the pit?

If he poured beech oil and launched a rocket at this time, the front position would immediately turn into a sea of ​​fire, and the armored demon would come.

How many people will die."

Xiang Yu shook his head: "There are only swords in the pit, not 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 ebony oil, it could only be because he didn't want to use this method to stop the demons.

Lin Muyu frowned when he heard this and asked, "I don't know how General Xiang Yu plans to retreat from the enemy."

"It's very simple."

Xiang Yu pointed forward and said with a slight smile: "A large amount of ebony oil has been poured into the last pit.

As soon as the main force of the Armored Demons comes over, we will launch an attack and push them all into the ebony oil.

I am here for The demons have prepared ten thousand giant ballistae."

Giant Ballista, a new weapon developed by the Ministry of War's Arms Department, is a weapon capable of projecting huge stone crossbows.

Lin Muyu looked over carefully, and sure enough, Xiang Yu's battle formation did have giant ballistae after another.

He had gathered almost all the ballistae in the entire army.

The impact of the ballistae would be difficult for even the armored demon to withstand.

If If that's the case, maybe we can actually win by surprise Moreover, in today's foggy weather, the wingmen in the sky can't clearly see the situation of the human positions.

Maybe Qianfeng will be fooled as well.

But at this moment, there was a sudden scream in the air "What's wrong?"

Lin Muyu hurriedly pulled out the Star Sword and looked up into the sky.

Wei Qiu, Situ Sen and others also unsheathed their swords, while Qin Yan was holding a spear and leading a group of forest guards to guard Qin Yin. .

"It's Yi Ren," Wei Qiu said loudly.

"Get ready, shoot thousands of arrows into the air," Su Muyun shouted.

"No" Zeng Yifan waved his hand and said: "Yi Ren's screams are five hundred meters away from us.

This distance can't hurt them at all.

It will only cause chaos.

Wait and see what Yi Ren wants to do."

At this moment, there was a sudden "buzz" in the air, and a black shadow fell from the sky, falling straight into Xiang Yu's 50,000-person Qiankun battle formation.

"Bang" Bamboo shards and weeds burst out, and this dark mass actually contained an armored demon holding 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 spurted out, and it suddenly swept the weapon, splitting the soldier into two, and the long sword quickly struck several other people.

"Oh My God" Qin Yin's heart trembled when she saw it.

Now she finally understood what Qianfeng was doing by cutting down bamboo and collecting weeds.

The purpose of cutting down bamboo was to make a bamboo cage, and the weeds were used to fill the bamboo cage and reduce the impact of the armored demon falling to the ground.

With the power, these armored demons were transported to the sky above the formation by the Winged Man Legion and airdropped directly.

This tactic can only be used by the demon clan.

"Swish swish" It was like rain in the sky.

Countless armored demons fell from the sky.

Xiang Yu's soldiers were caught off guard.

Many of them were killed directly.

Some of the armored demons fell to the ground and were injured, but their ferocity remained unchanged and they waved their weapons.

The sword started slashing and killing randomly among the crowd.

"Ludes" An armored demon roared, and many armored demons dropped from the air suddenly rushed towards the giant ballista.

Lin Muyu, Xiang Yu, Luo Xin and others all felt chilled in their hearts.

This is where Qianfeng's terror lies.

It's not that he doesn't know Xiang Yu's plan, but that he knows Xiang Yu is waiting for him with a giant ballistae, but he can still win by surprise "Buzz" Another huge thing fell from the sky.

It was an extremely powerful armored demon.

He smashed the bamboo cage in the air and stabbed Qin Yin's head directly with the spear in his hand.

"Your Highness, be careful," Qin Yan said loudly and hastily.

Qin Yin looked up and saw a chill on her beautiful face.

She opened her palms and a golden ice crystal shot into the sky.

Sky Dragon Crystal "Bang"

Amidst the loud noise, the armored demon flew directly into the air and turned into pieces of flesh and blood.

Rain of blood fell one after another and spattered inch by inch on the battle armor around Qin Yin.

Everyone was stunned again.

What kind of cultivation Qin Yin has reached now.

The extent of it is no longer known
