At night, candlelight gently swayed in the central tent of the Longdan Army Camp. Wei Chou spread a simple map on the table with fine sweat oozing from his forehead. He said with a smile, "This is the only map we can draw. Commander, you can use it reluctantly. The marks of the demons on the Qinling Mountains have been redrawn."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu put her hand on the table and said, "Swift White Province and Earth Star Province are on the two sides of the Qinling Mountains. This part of the Qinling Mountains is about two hundred miles long. The demons won't have too many troops to fight against us."
Wei Chou nodded, "The ten thousand demons are scattered at the pass of the Qinling Mountains."
"Yes!"
On the side, Qin Yan held the holy spear that Lin Muyu brought back from the Chaotic Realm. A trace of worry flashed across his face as he said, "Big Brother, even if there are only ten thousand demons, they are armor demons after all. We don't have the Daojiang River as a barrier. Once the armor demons attack the Qinling Mountains, I'm afraid that the heavy cavalry of the Longdan Army Camp won't be able to gain any advantage in the decisive battle on the plains."
"Not necessarily."
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "In the battle of Winter Frost City, we didn't know the strength of the armor demons at all. Therefore, we sent the cavalry to fight the armor demons on the plains, which led to the final defeat. The armor demons are strong and their shells are thick. Ordinary swords can hardly cut through them. Moreover, their strength has reached the point where they are not afraid of the cavalry's impact. However, we always neglected one thing. We gave up the advantage that the cavalry should have."
"What advantage?" Fengxi asked in surprise.
Lin Muyu raised the corner of her mouth, "Mobility."
"What is mobility?" Wei Chou asked.
Lin Muyu explained, "The so-called mobility refers to the ability to move. No matter how fast the Armor Demons are, they can't outrun our cavalries. We can adopt harassment tactics. All the heavy cavalries should take off their armors and turn into light cavalries. Then, they should carry bows and arrows and keep a distance from the Armor Demons. Then, we can keep shooting them with white drill arrows. When the Armor Demons chase after us, we can send many groups of light cavalries to launch sneak attacks on the Armor Demons and scatter their forces. Then, we can kill these Armor Demons by using traps and other tactics."
Excitement surged onto Qin Yan's face: "Big Brother, can this kind of battle tactic really work?"
"Yes, but …" Lin Muyu pondered for a second before saying, "Everything depends on the result of tomorrow's battle. Lei Chong's Armor Demons Corps annihilated the Yangwei Corps of the empire in Winter Frost City, which is a disgrace to the empire. At this moment, the Armor Demons have crossed the Qinling Mountains and forced the rebels of the Yihe Country to retreat again and again. The Armor Demons Corps is full of arrogance. We must destroy their spirit in tomorrow's battle!"
Wei Chou nodded. "We will follow your arrangements!"
"Good."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Tomorrow, 5000 elite cavalries of the Longdan Army Camp will follow me out of the city to challenge and lead the Armor Demons to Bugu City. Remember to install all the arrow boxes on the city wall in advance. Whether we can defeat the Armor Demon army tomorrow depends on the arrow boxes. Rest early tonight and start the action tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
The flames in the Longdan Army Camp were swaying. Everything seemed so quiet. However, everyone knew that there would be another decisive battle with the Demon Tribe tomorrow. The Yihe Country was defeated. All the passes in the Qinling Mountains were in the hands of the Demon Tribe. The Longdan Army Camp must take back the control of the nearby passes from the Demon Tribe. Otherwise, the army of over 100,000 Armor Demons of the Lei Chong Corps would rush into the core area of the empire after slaughtering the Yihe Country.
…
The next morning, the sun dispelled the fog and the sound of horses galloping could be heard in the forest. Lin Muyu personally led 5,000 elite cavalrymen of the Courage of Dragon Battalion out of the city and arrived at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. The coniferous pine trees by the road were covered with dew and dripped onto Lin Muyu's armor. Drops of water burst out and splashed onto Lin Muyu's face, making him feel a little cold.
Further ahead, there was a spacious mountain road leading to the south of the Qinling Mountains. It was the only place where one could climb over the Qinling Mountains. A pitch-black stone fortress was located in the valley. Mosong Pass, the No. 1 fortress between the Earthly Star Province of the empire and the Swift White Province of the Yihe Country. However, at this moment, Mosong Pass had already fallen into the hands of the Demon Tribe.
In the distance, Armor Demons holding heavy battle axes patrolled back and forth on the pass. There was also a Demon Tribe's battle flag on the pass. The flag was painted with two strangely shaped crossed longswords. It was called "God Sword Flag". It should be the belief of the Demon Tribe, and probably the reason why the high-level Demon Tribe were all proficient in swordsmanship.
As the horse stepped on the pine leaves, Lin Muyu looked at the Mosong Pass in the distance and said, "Change to bows and arrows. Shoot at the Mosong Pass from half a mile away from the pass to lure the Demon Tribe out of the pass to fight. We can't go too fast, we must stick to them at a distance."
"Yes, Commander!"
A group of soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp hung their spears and other long-handled weapons on the side of their horses. They raised their hands to take out their bows and arrows and followed Lin Muyu to gallop towards the Mosong Pass on the mountain ridge.
On top of the city gate, a group of Armor Demons had also discovered the traces of the human army. They seemed to be very excited as they roared in the demon language that Wei Qiu could not understand. Wei Qiu could not help but frown: "What are these cockroaches shouting?"
"God knows. Get ready to shoot!"
Lin Muyu opened her hand and raised the Precious Carving Bow on the side of her horse. She put a special black giant arrow on it. Swirling fighting light appeared on her palm and the power of the Overwhelming True Dragon Yuan Fire poured into the giant arrow. With a "whoosh", it flew straight towards the pass. The next moment, the giant arrow pierced into the rocks with a "Peng" sound, splashing a cloud of dust.
"Roar?!"
An armored demon officer looked at the huge arrow inserted into the city wall not far away. Closely after that, he raised his head and looked at the dense heavy cavalries of Dragon Courage Battalion in the distance. At the same time, he couldn't help but raise his battle ax as he roared, "F * ck Basina!"
"Commander, what does this Demon Tribe's language mean? Kill Brazil … "Wei Chou asked with a smile after breaking the rope of the Demon Tribe's flag with one arrow.
"I don't know …" Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "It probably means … kill our way out of the city, kill their bloody mothers, and dig their ancestral graves …"
"These stinky cockroaches! How dare they dig our ancestral graves … "Wei Chou smiled slightly," After we annihilate the Demon Tribe, we must dig their ancestral graves. An eye for an eye! "
The surrounding soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp all burst into laughter.
Right at this moment, the heavy iron gate of the Black Pine Pass suddenly rose with a "humming" sound. In the next moment, numerous Armor Demons rushed out with blunt and heavy weapons in their hands while roaring "Kill Brazil". Some of them even flapped their wings and made short-distance leaps. Indeed, the running speed of Armor Demons was much faster than that of humans, but it was far slower than that of warhorses.
"Retreat!"
Lin Muyu pulled the reins as she urged Snowtreading to turn around and leave. The 5,000 soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp immediately changed from the vanguard to the rear as they hurriedly returned from the pine woods. However, Wei Chou didn't completely escape. His handsome face was full of killing intent as he ordered, "The first team, retreat; the second team, prepare to shoot!"
Nearly 300 cavalries of the Longdan Army Camp immediately stopped their warhorses as they turned around and put arrows on their bows. After a round of fierce shooting, they immediately turned around and left. At the same time, the rear team was ready for another round of shooting. After two rounds of shooting, some Armor Demons who were shot in the eyes and mouths wailed miserably and rolled in the pine woods, which further infuriated the other Armor Demons.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! "
In the distance, the sound of war drums drifted from the Black Pine Pass. Indeed, these simple-minded Armor Demon generals didn't know how to lure the enemy at all. Out of fury, they chased after the 5,000 elite cavalries of the Longdan Army Camp led by Lin Muyu.
…
After getting out of the pine woods, Wei Chou didn't stop the archer-cavalry tactic; instead, he kept following the demons. Although the Armor Demons didn't kill any soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp, their eyes were all red as they held their battle axes and ran madly.
After chasing for nearly 40 miles, the Cuckoo City had already appeared in front of them. Qin Yan and Fengxi were on the city gate as they shouted, "Commander, hurry up and enter the city!"
The loud sound of war drums on the Cuckoo City directly attracted the attention of the demon army.
A demon general who was running at the very front raised his battle axe and roared, "Kill Brazil!"
The sound of horse hooves was dense. The Longdan Army Camp quickly entered the city. When the last person entered the city, Lin Muyu ordered loudly, "Close the city gate and prepare the arrow boxes. Once the Armor Demons enter the shooting range, shoot!"
The gate was closed with a loud bang. Lin Muyu handed the battle horse to a guard and rushed up the city wall with Wei Chou and other generals with a long sword. Looking from afar, the dense Armor Demon army surrounded them. Wei Chou couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Commander, there are at least 5,000 Armor Demons. They are going to do it for real."
"It doesn't matter. Let them come."
Lin Muyu narrowed her eyes and said, "Prepare the arrow boxes!"
On the city wall, the arrow boxes were placed in a row. The soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp slowly calibrated the shooting angle, aiming straight at the bottom of the city wall. The shooting from top to bottom would be stronger and could also greatly increase the penetrating power of the arrow boxes.
…
"Roar roar …"
Under the city wall, the Armor Demon army roared and rushed to the city wall. Their way of attacking the city was very simple. They used battle axes to dig the foundation of the city wall. The effect could not be seen in a short time, but after digging for an hour, it would be fatal.
"Ready, shoot!" When the Armor Demons were about 200 meters away from the city, Lin Muyu ordered decisively.
For a moment, hundreds of arrow boxes on the city launched an attack at the same time. Special steel arrows tempered with fire poison shot straight into the distance and penetrated the bodies of the Armor Demons. As Lin Muyu expected, the powerful penetrating power of the arrow boxes was enough to pierce through the hard armor of the Armor Demons, and the tempered fire poison could kill the Armor Demons immediately!
In the blink of an eye, a great number of armored demons outside the city gate had died. However, it seemed that these armored demons were unwilling to accept this result. They still attacked the city gate as they hacked the gate with battle axes over and over again.
The arrows on the city wall were like rain, all of which were white diamond arrows.
The soldiers beside the arrow boxes quickly twisted the wrenches to recharge and reload the arrow boxes. This process was completed by 8 soldiers together. It took about 2 minutes, but it was enough.
On the city wall, it was time to perform archery. Wei Chou and the others pulled the bowstrings into a full moon and shot the Armor Demons that were attacking the city with white diamond arrows again and again.
…
The city gate was covered with countless marks of being hacked by battle axes. It was already a little shaky. Qin Yan couldn't help frowning and said, "Big Brother, the city gate is about to be hacked by the Armor Demons. Should I go?"
"Yes, be careful!"
"Yes!"
