Chapter 2576 - 2576 Ambush in the forest (1)
2576 Ambush in the forest (1)
It was a good thing that the cultivators in the city took the initiative to attack. Not only could they attack the monsters, but they could also collect a lot of information.
It was only after a fight that he could figure out the enemy’s specific strength and then formulate a targeted plan.
According to Tang Zhen’s request, tianxu city had sent out believers to follow the operation. Their main task was to deliver intelligence.
These believers were also very diligent. When the operation began, the battle reports from the front line were continuously sent back to the Heaven’s Wall city.
According to the information, Lou Cheng chose a Canyon to ambush and bombarted the enemy with boulders and explosives.
Primitive means of attack did not mean that they were ineffective. The key was how to operate it.
Using a Stone Canyon to destroy an Army made of steel chariots. Similar cases were common.
Due to time constraints and various restrictions, the cultivators in loucheng city didn’t have many means to use.
Once it was used, even if it couldn’t defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, it could at least cause them to suffer heavy injuries.
As the saying goes, it’s better to break one finger than to injure ten. After the Lou Cheng cultivators a.n.a.lyzed, they locked onto the heavy cavalry of the demonized Army.
For one, the formation of the heavy cavalrymen was more concentrated, and it was difficult for them to move in the narrow forest, making it easy for them to be ambushed and killed by the cultivators of Lou Cheng.
As for the second reason, it was because the heavy cavalry was extremely fast. If they were not killed, they would easily be chased by the enemy when they retreated.
By eliminating the heavy cavalry, not only could they deal a heavy blow to the enemy, but they could also ensure that they could retreat safely.
There were less than 200 Lou chengxiu’s who partic.i.p.ated in the operation. Each of them was an elite and would not delay their tasks.
Although there were only a hundred or so people, they were comparable to thousands of soldiers and horses.
After waiting for about half a day, the Army of monsters finally entered the ambush circle.
As demonized Army used to be regular troops, they would always have vanguards to Scout the route in case of being ambushed by the enemy.
Even though they had been demonized into monsters, they still maintained this habit. Before the demonized Army arrived, the reconnaissance vanguards had already appeared on the high ground of the valley on both sides.
After the mutation, these reconnaissance vanguards had become slender and strong, and their original abilities had been strengthened.
There was a tough short membrane between the arm and the body. When jumping down from a high place, it could carry out a short distance sliding.
In order to facilitate reconnaissance, the reconnaissance vanguards had also developed abilities similar to chameleons, which could change in a very short time and integrate into the surrounding natural environment.
The main target of these reconnaissance vanguards was the valley where the Lou Cheng cultivators had prepared for the ambush. After all, the geographical environment of this area was the most ideal, and they could get twice the result with half the effort.
However, the cultivators in loucheng city were very experienced and far from being comparable to the demonized soldiers. Therefore, when the scouting vanguards arrived, they did not find anything unusual at all.
After the scouting vanguards left, the cultivators of Lou Cheng appeared one after another. No one knew where they were hiding, so they were not discovered.
The cultivators of Lou Cheng moved quickly. In a very short time, they had completed their pre-arranged deployment.
Everything was ready, and then they quietly waited for the enemy to enter the ambush.
It didn’t take long for a huge vibration to sound in the forest. The trees that had grown for many years were broken and pushed down, and then thrown into the forest on both sides.
This was how the demonized Army advanced. As the main obstacle, the forest was severely damaged wherever they pa.s.sed by.
It was actually excusable for the demonized monsters to be so brutal, because the crazy thoughts lingered in their minds, and they needed a channel to vent.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t take long for him to completely collapse and lose control.
As the sound got closer, a group of giant monsters appeared in front of them. They looked like enlarged black gorillas, covered in scales and muscles
These giant monsters were the strongmen of the Army. They were much taller than ordinary soldiers and specialized in some special work.
When they were attacked by the demonic Qi, the bodies of these huge men in the Army grew rapidly, directly turning into behemoths that were more than ten meters tall.
They dragged weapons made of round wood and walked at the front of the Army, forcibly opening up a pa.s.sage in the forest to make it convenient for the Army behind to advance.
After the giant monsters pa.s.sed, it was time for the demonized soldiers to form groups. Their bodies were ferocious and strong, and at the same time, they had the unique temperament of a soldier.
Any one of them could easily destroy an ordinary village.
In fact, many villages had been destroyed by the demonized Army. The villagers, cows and horses were used as food and carried by the auxiliary soldiers.
The Army of nearly 400000 left clear traces in the forest. Even from a very far distance, one could see the demonic Qi soaring into the sky.
Even the experienced cultivators in loucheng city were shocked by the scale of the demonized Army and knew that they had underestimated the enemy.
The monsters catalyzed by the compet.i.tion were meant to deal with the cultivators in the city. It was impossible for them to defeat an Army of monsters with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
All the cultivators were wondering if the Heaven’s Wall city could defend against so many terrifying monsters.
There was no time to think about it, because the monsters had already entered the ambush circle, and the plan was half successful.
As the scouting vanguards didn’t send any warning, the demonized Army just pa.s.sed by the valley without knowing that they were in danger.
The trolls pa.s.sed by, followed by a group of infantrymen. Before the heavy cavalry pa.s.sed by, everything was calm.
When the heavy cavalrymen pa.s.sed by, there was a sudden loud noise, and huge rocks rolled down from both sides of the valley.
The stones blocked the way out on both sides, and the heavy-armored cavalrymen immediately broke into a riot. The cultivators of loucheng who had been waiting for a long time acted at the same time, throwing the bombs and burning bombs that they had prepared.
The heavy-armored cavalrymen were in a mess. They kept running around in the flames of the lightning, trying to break out of the ambush.
Due to the transformation of devil Qi, the bodies of the heavy-armored cavalrymen and their mounts had become one, making them somewhat similar to the Centaurs.
This made the cavalrymen extremely agile. The warhorses were like their legs, and they could gallop freely on the battlefield.
After the warhorses were frightened, they immediately ran around the valley in a panic. The Knights on top of them were also affected and could not control the movements of the warhorses.
The heavy-armored cavalrymen kept falling to the ground as they ran around, and the number of casualties increased rapidly.
The continuous bombardment of bombs turned the entire Valley into a sea of fire.
For cultivators in loucheng, it was a piece of cake to make explosives with various materials.
Because there were only a few people, they had prepared a large number of bombs and incendiary bombs, which were indeed effective.
The valley was in chaos while the demonized Army outside the valley was also affected.
When the heavy cavalries were ambushed, the Commander-in-Chief of the demonized Corps was driven furious as he ordered to launch a counterattack at once.
With an order, countless demonized soldiers rushed up the mountains on both sides to find the cultivators of loucheng who had ambushed them.
The giant monsters even rushed to the collapsed mountain rocks. While clearing the obstacles, they also picked up the rocks and threw them at the mountains on both sides.
These giant monsters were like moving trebuchets. The flying giant rocks smashed the trees in the forest, breaking them. The rumbling sound was endless.
The cultivators of loucheng city who were ambushing saw that the situation was not good and immediately chose to retreat from the battlefield. They followed the pa.s.sage they had chosen in advance and went straight to Heaven’s Wall city.
