The soldiers entering Maolin are all carefully selected. Twenty people are in a group. Twelve shield soldiers form a circular shield formation outside. Inside, five spearmen are responsible for assaults, and three strong archers are responsible for long-range shooting. In this way, such a combat team will not completely collapse even if it is attacked by the rat people. ,
Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi also entered Maolin together, watching a barrel of black beech oil dump into the mouse hole, but the underground mouse hole extends in all directions, and no one knows how many holes the mouse people have made. What can be done is to pour in black beech oil when you see the hole, or to seal it with a big stone.
The scent of black beech oil was very pungent and unpleasant. Soon afterwards, rat men rushed out of the cave, screaming sharply and hitting the heavy shield of the combat team, scurrying around looking for a target that could succeed, but the gentian The camp and Baize mercenaries were too well prepared. These rat people were covered in black beech oil, and they could not escape the fate of being hacked to death by a slasher.
More and more rat people rushed out, and at least a thousand rat people rushed out in the past hour. They were unwilling to wait for death, so they had to give it a go.
Wei Qiu rode his horse and said respectfully: "All of our black beech oil has been used up, Lin Shuai, do you light it up?"
"Ok."
Lin Muyu nodded: "Let the soldiers who are soaked in black beech oil avoid the fire and light it."
"Yes!"
The flag of Wei Qiu's subordinates raised, and immediately countless torches were thrown into the cave, and the sound of "buzzing" was endless. Black beech oil was not generally flammable, and long flames spurted out from the openings of the caves. , And there was even a sound of explosion from the ground, and the ground also swelled and shocked. The terrible extent of this underground fire far exceeded everyone's imagination.
"alert!"
Sikongyao commanded loudly.
Over the mountains and plains, countless soldiers of the Qin Army raised their shields and looked carefully at the openings of the burning caves. Soon, raging fires burst out from the ground, and it was the scavengers who were already covered in fire!
Wei Qiu shot them quickly one by one, and said loudly: "Don't approach them, shoot them from a distance or assassinate them with a spear!"
The arrows were like a rain of chaos, and each combat team fought on their own, shooting sharp arrows out one after another, but the rat man’s impact was very strong, and he did not die immediately after catching fire. Instead, he kept hitting the surrounding shield array, and quickly, one after another A shield formation was broken, and the soldiers fell into the flames, screaming one after another.
Lin Muyu drew his sword and rushed out. The sword aura raged, killing the Ratman in pieces, and Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Zhulong, Fengzhanlin and others also moved out. One more Ratman might be killed. One less soldier died in battle.
The fighting continued until near dusk, and the whole Maolin smelled like a scorching smell. The wounded returned to camp one after another. Under Lin Muyu's order, a line of defense began to be established around Maolin.
…
"Quickly count it."
Sikongyao came up with a blood-stained sword and said: "There are more than 13,000 rat people's corpses outside, and the ones in the cave are not clear, but obviously these are not all of the rat people's power."
Lin Muyu nodded: "Don't count. There are more than 60,000 rat people corpses in the cave. Together, there are about 80,000 rat people corpses. That is to say... another 20,000 rat people escaped, or... These scavengers are not the future of Maolin. By the way, did you find a scavenger with a white collar in the corpse?"
"Are you talking about the White-collar Ratman King?"
"Oh? His name is the White-collar Ratman King?"
"That's right." Sikongyao smiled slightly, and said, "Because the neck's fur is white, like wearing a white collar, he is called the White-collar Ratman King. For the time being... the body is charred, and it is impossible to tell if there is any. Mouse King, the caves are even more impossible to explore. I have ordered all the caves to be blocked."
"Be careful tonight."
Lin Muyu anxiously said: "Perhaps the remnant of the Scavenger will avenge us tonight, order the battalions to guard, all soldiers sleep in bed, prepare the white diamond arrows and rockets, once the Scavengers appear, they will shoot them directly."
"Yes!"
This night, it was naturally not simple. The scavenger army suffered such a big loss in Maolin, they could not not get revenge. After all, scavengers are beasts, and the revenge of beasts is the most terrible.
…
At night, the bright moon is in the sky.
After dinner, Lin Muyu couldn't sleep, and took a few Yulin Guards personally to patrol the camp. In fact, Wei Qiu, Sikongyao, Situ Sen and others did not sleep. The possibility of being attacked tonight is too great, who I dare not sleep.
By the middle of the night, most of the soldiers in the battalion had already fallen asleep. They were exhausted in a day's battle, and they were really tired.
Lin Muyu walked on the edge of the camp, stopped suddenly, and looked underground.
"Marshal, what's the matter?" a Yulin Wei asked.
Lin Muyu meticulously sensed the fluctuations coming from the spirit pulse technique, and said: "The rat people are here... At least tens of thousands of rat people have already arrived. Soon their caves will be dug under our feet, and they will immediately send orders and beat the drums. Number, ready to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!"
The flares rose into the sky, and the fire was everywhere in the camp. The sleeping soldiers woke up one after another, walked out of the camp one by one, and quickly formed a 20-man combat team, and the rats were here!
Sure enough, the sound of earth moving continuously came from the ground!
"boom!"
In an instant, dozens of soldiers fell together, the ground under their feet was hollowed out, and the people who fell screamed again and again. Almost instantly, they were killed by a group of locust-like rat people, one after another, more and more. The entrance of the cave appeared under the camp, and the rat people flew out, rushing toward the crowd in a dense number.
"Let's release the arrow and kill them all!"
There was the sound of arrows leaving the string everywhere, but the Ratman was strong in vitality, wounded but not dead, still brandishing his claws and roaring towards the crowd.
In a panic, Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi appeared together in the center of the camp. There were the most rat people there. The Shuai Teng had been captured. The bodies of two Yu Lin Wei were placed among the rat people, a rat with a white collar. The voice was shrill and yelling at the crowd, it was the white-collar Ratman King, he finally appeared!
In the big hole behind the Rat King, densely packed rat men poured into the camp, and soon gathered into a large area, thousands of them!
"Sure enough, it's going to be a tough battle." Wei Qiu's eyes were calm.
Lin Muyu held a long sword in her hand and whispered: "Xiaoyin and Xiaoxi pressed their feet, everyone moved aside and let the armor demon camp face them head-on, and the archers aimed and shot! The shield array protects and blocks all the rat people. in the middle!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
The crowd was sipping, and a huge shield that was more than one person high on one side formed a piece. After the cavalry stepped away, behind them was a group of armor demon carrying battle axes, warhammers, and spears. The armor demon's eyes were full of blood-red rays. , The killing intent was awe-inspiring, and after a roar, he fought with the Ratman army. In terms of strength, the armor demon is far above the Ratman, and the whole body is full of hard shells. The Ratman can't bite through, even the armor The devil is like the natural nemesis of the rat man.
In the air, the broken body of the rat-man fluttered messily, and the stench filled the noses of everyone.
Wei Qiu personally commanded the bow and arrow camp to kill, avoiding the armor camp, and directly vented the arrow rain into the scavenger group. Although the scavenger king ordered several breakthroughs, he could not break through the defense of the shield array, so that they The aggressive attack on the camp turned into being caught in an urn.
"Chirps! Chirps!"
The Rat King roared fiercely.
"It's not good, they want to escape!" Si Kongyao said loudly.
Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said, "I can't escape!"
Before the words fell, the five fingers of the king's flames surged, and the elephant invisible tactics launched, and a dazzling sky descended from the sky. After the sound, the cave where the Ratman King led the Ratman army was crushed, and the sky was crushed. Then there appeared a series of flames, it was the figure of Xing Tian Tianjun, it can be said that there is no way into the sky and no way to the earth.
"Kill all, don't keep one!" Lin Muyu whispered.
Random arrow shooting, more than 10,000 rat people's army even rarely escaped, almost all of them were buried under the edge of the white diamond arrow.
…
This battle didn't end until dawn. Qin Jun won a complete victory. Lin Muyu personally cut off the skull of the Rat Man King and gave it to Song Liangcheng in Jicheng as a gift.
After a short break for a morning, Lin Muyu gave the order that Wei Qiu led a hundred thousand people from Maolin to bypass the mountains and blocked the retreat of Jicheng from the east. The two armies completed the encirclement of Jicheng and cut off the Jicheng within one day. The city’s food road and all reinforcement roads.
In the afternoon, the breeze is rippling.
On the lush mountains, Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi and others climbed high and looked at Jicheng in a panoramic view. This is only a small city with a population of less than 100,000, and it cannot support Song Liangcheng’s 150,000 southern patrol. Keeping Jecheng forever is just a dead end.
Amidst the sound of horseshoes, an imperial guard galloped over: "His Royal Highness, Marshal, Song Liangcheng has sent a letter!"
"Bring it."
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu unfolded the letterhead, glanced at it, and said, "Song Liangcheng seems to want peace."
Situ Sen said: "What is the method of seeking peace?"
"As long as Wei Qiu gives way to retreat from the east of Jicheng, he is willing to lead the southern patrol to withdraw eastward, give up Jicheng, and give us 700,000 stones, grain and grass, and 5,000 catties of gold."
"What does the marshal mean?" Situ Sen asked with a slight 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 and killed my Xu Jiantao. Does he think that this account can be written off so easily? Legend, tomorrow Begin to attack the city, defending the enemy and defending the east road, and not letting anyone out of Song Liangcheng's subordinates. This battle does not require any prisoners. Anyone who has the blood of Xu Jiantao and Longdanying brothers on their hands will be killed without mercy, and I will slaughter them. People from this city, come to comfort Xu Jiantao's spirit in the sky!"
Qin Yin: "..."
Tang Xiaoxi: "..."
Situ Sen knelt on the ground, tears filled his eyes: "Subordinates request to be the vanguard. If you can avenge Xu Jiantao's thieves, Situ Sen will die without regret!"
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Chen Yu and Yang Shang always thought we were Xi Barbarians, then... let them see the vengeance of our Great Qin Empire..."
"Yes!"
