While Ye Chuan and others were discussing countermeasures in the Yunwu Hall, Great Qin Crown Prince Li Guanghan also convened commanders at all levels in the camp to discuss.
After suffering a lot, Li Guanghan finally learned his lesson and realized that Ye Chuan was no longer the same Ye Chuan as before and was becoming more and more difficult to deal with. This time, he learned his lesson and followed the advice of Taoist Master Jue. He should proceed step by step, starting from Pingyuan Ancient Town, and make full use of his powerful troops to advance all the way to the mountain gate of Yunwu Sect before launching a full-scale attack.
The huge war machine of the Great Qin Dynasty quickly started operating, showing its ferocious appearance.
Soon, the vanguard began to take action, first setting fire to the Pingding Mountain near Pingyuan Ancient Town, leaving not a single sapling alive, and all kinds of vines burned down. The originally dense jungle suddenly became bare, and there was no place to hide around the ancient town. Standing on the high ground and looking out, any disturbance within a dozen miles can be clearly seen, which eliminates the possibility of a sneak attack by the Yunwu Sect.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, the Qin Dynasty began to build its first stronghold on the top of Pingding Mountain. It recruited farmers, cattle and horse-drawn carriages within a hundred miles, transported large blocks of stones, and quickly built a strong fortress and stationed it there. Thousands of elite soldiers were deployed to guard the area. If you want to attack the camp at the foot of the mountain, you must first remove this stronghold, and to do this, it will take at least an hour or two with the strength of the Yunwu Sect. With these two hours, it was enough for the army at the foot of the mountain to respond.
After the first stronghold was established, there was a second one, a third one...
According to Li Guanghan's order, the army slowly advanced.
Every step forward, the surrounding woods must be burned with fire, implementing a scorched earth strategy. After burning the surrounding area for ten miles, the logistics army quickly swarmed in and built stone fortresses one after another. If there was really no stone nearby, they would use local materials and clay to build a thick earth wall, and then use large logs to build a fence outside for heavy defense.
For seven consecutive days, there was no movement from the Yunwu Sect. Perhaps they were worried about the powerful military strength of the Qin Dynasty, or they were helpless with this step-by-step strategy and allowed the Qin Dynasty to build strongholds one after another.
In the camp, the Prince of Qin, Li Guanghan, stayed alone in his bedroom day and night, drinking and personally reviewing the victory reports sent back by the soldiers.
Without the invasion and obstruction of the Yunwu Sect, the army advanced much faster than expected, and could advance at least dozens of miles every day. But for Li Guanghan, the speed is still too slow. If this continues, it will take at least a month to advance to the mountain gate of Yunwu Sect.
It's been a full month. How much preparation did that boy Ye Chuan have to make? If that kid sees something wrong and leads his junior brothers and sisters to abandon the Yunwu Sect, where will he find someone and how will he take revenge
Thinking of Ye Chuan who had repeatedly put him in trouble, Li Guanghan felt very depressed and couldn't wait to kill him with his own hands. Now, he was not afraid that he would not be able to destroy the Yunwu Sect, but he was afraid that Ye Chuan would slip away early and escape without a fight. An ordinary person would definitely stick to the sect and be reluctant to abandon the ancient sect that has been passed down for millions of years. But there is nothing that this kid Ye Chuan can't do. This is what Li Guanghan is afraid of.
On the eighth day, just as night fell, a new good news came back. The fifth stronghold was successfully built and thousands of elite soldiers were stationed there.
From the map, the five strongholds were connected in a line, and the arrows began to penetrate into the Yunwu Mountains. Especially the fifth stronghold that was just built is built on the top of a mountain commonly known as Stone Mountain by the locals. The mountain is covered with rocks and is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In front of it is a flat plain. When the weather is clear, you can look out. Another mountain dozens of miles away provided a strong guarantee for the construction of the next stronghold, greatly speeding up the advance.
After the news came back, everyone in the army cheered loudly, and Li Guanghan was in a good mood and got drunk.
However, at this moment, the soldiers stationed in the fifth stronghold in Shishan, a hundred miles away, faced a sudden bloody battle.
Like the soldiers in the main camp of Pingyuan Ancient Town, the soldiers who had just arrived were very excited. To celebrate the successful completion of the mission, someone quietly brought out a jar of powerful sorghum wine. No one knows where the wine came from. Maybe it was secretly collected by a certain general, or maybe it was left by the civilians who built the stronghold. In excitement, the soldiers opened the seal and drank. At the beginning, the commander in charge of guarding the stronghold maintained restraint and strictly ordered that each person should not have more than three drinks. But as he drank, no one remembered this prohibition. Even the commander himself was drunk by the soldiers. sky.
The rocky mountain was quiet at night, with only the occasional chirping of unknown insects.
There has been no movement from the Yunwu Sect in the past few days, and everything has been going smoothly, which made the soldiers relax their vigilance. Especially after drinking, everyone relaxes. When they thought about it, the solid stone fortress, coupled with the powerful restrictions, was enough to make the Yunwu Sect's people retreat in spite of difficulties. Even if they were to force a surprise attack, they would not be able to break in all at once. Everyone could drink with confidence.
The danger comes just when the soldiers are most relaxed.
The first person to notice something was wrong was a sentry who had gone out to urinate. He had just unbuttoned his pants to pee when he suddenly noticed that the rocks around him were a little weird. He had been put on a layer of green clothing at some point, and it looked like there was a piece of green oilcloth spread out. . After rubbing his eyes and taking a closer look, he saw that it was not an oilcloth, but a series of vines that were intertwined and connected into pieces.
No, it's an enemy attack!
The sentry reacted quickly. During the Battle of Pingdingshan, the soldiers became very angry when talking about the vines. The commander above also repeatedly emphasized that once the shadow of a vine is found, whether it is there or appears suddenly, call the police immediately.
The alert sentry didn't even bother to pull up his trousers and raised his horn to call the police. Suddenly, a fly seemed to fly past his eyes. His neck was cold and it was covered with blood when he touched it. Then he suddenly fell to the ground and died. Before he died, he discovered that it was not a fly, but a rare golden cicada, staying on his right arm. The penis is still exposed, but the person is already out of breath.
With one successful blow, the six-winged golden cicada flapped its wings and left, looking for its next target.
At the same time, the sound of rustling slowly sounded, and more and more vines climbed up the mountain lined with strange rocks, heavily surrounding the fortress on the top of the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, beyond the heavy vines, were a large group of Yunwu Sect disciples who were ready to go. Everyone was wearing white uniforms, holding sharp long swords, and flying swords under their feet. Under the leadership of Zhu Sijia, they were waiting for the last moment. arrival.
At the foot of the mountain, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground. The seven sky-swallowing talismans in his body suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a flying sword. The sharp dragon-slaying flying sword turned into a streak of red light and shot straight into the sky. It flew up to the top of the mountain and destroyed everything inside and outside the fortress. Prohibition. The old demon Rod of Yinshan who had been waiting for a long time laughed loudly. Countless vines surged towards the stone fortress like waves. Behind the sea of vines, there were a large group of Yunwu Sect elites roaring up on flying swords.
