The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu - Chapter 638

c639 Chengshan Fortress

In the past few days, Zheng Zetian followed five hundred tiger warriors on a mountain patrol and arrived at Chengshan Fortress, which is now the front line of Shiwan Mountain.

Because he is a disciple of Song Dayou, and because of Zheng Zetian’s damn charm in charming men, he has become very familiar with the soldiers and casual cultivators, and has a general understanding of the situation on the Western Front.

This mountain fortress is actually still five hundred miles away from the lion demon’s lair in Fuyu Mountain. However, this mountain has four sides and a gentle terrain, with a solid foundation. The three mountain tops are all ground flats. It does not require much engineering, and the natural It is suitable for opening an altar, setting up a stronghold, and setting up formations.

It was also discovered through Feng Shui Xunlong that the local veins contained a large amount of gold ore, and gold sand could be sifted out of the streams. Therefore, Mozhu Mountain could be mined on the spot for payment, and the Sixth Division of Yushan and the monks who defeated demons were willing to work here. Stationed for a long time to resist the invasion of demons.

And in a sense, Mozhu Mountain’s mountain-breaking and temple-breaking offensive has indeed reached its limit.

Chengshan Mountain and Tianyu Mountain are thousands of miles away, and there are endless monsters along the way. There are no waterways or railways to travel, and military supplies have to be transported by airships, not to mention that the immortal cultivators have to be stationed in this barren mountain for a long time. Their training resources cannot be spared, and the logistical pressure is really great.

Moreover, in the Fuyu Mountain opposite, not only the Jiuqu Cave Lion Demon family was resisting desperately, but actually led by the Lion Demon King, they gathered all the demon kings and monsters in the entire Shiwan Mountain. Not only the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled from the east, but also the kings of the various peaks in the west and the old demons from Kunlun in the north formed gangs and came to gather for righteousness, forming a coalition of 100,000 mountain demon tribes.

After all, the Monster Clan is not stupid. They know that Mozhu Mountain is in the ascendant, and now it is the old lion-headed iron of Fuyu Mountain who insists on not retreating. If they don’t come to support, they sit back and watch it being surrounded and suppressed, and then they are afraid that it will never happen again in the future. If the demon dares to show his face, everyone will become slaves and become people’s mounts.

Of course, this lion demon Jiuqu Demon Lord is indeed a character, uh, monster. This beast is a great monster that has been enlightened for a long time. It is said that it was once the mount of an immortal and received the true teaching. However, no one knows the specific details. It is only known that some monster kings have not yet been born, and it has taken up space in Fuyu Mountain to practice.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this old lion’s Taoism is the leader of a hundred thousand mountain demons. He has already reached the peak. I am afraid that if there is another chance, he will really realize Taoism like the South China Sea Spirit King and become the leader of the demon clan. , the Lord of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Li Fan has also wanted to get rid of this guy over the years, but when he reached the state of transformation, his every move was too noisy. In other words, as long as he thought about it, the old lion’s fate would become bad today, so the opposite I was immediately on guard.

Moreover, his reputation as a master of one of the nine masters was also spread out, which was so scary that no one dared to challenge him in a duel.

So often as soon as Li Fan arrived at Fuyu Mountain, the demon kings and old demons from all over the southeast and northwest had already heard the news and gathered ten transformed gods to share the same enemy with the Jiuqu Demon Lord and fight side by side. Behind them, there were seventeen or eight old beasts who appeared from nowhere and went to Mozhu Mountain to cause trouble and steal things.

And this old lion is indeed quite capable. It has been operating in Fuyu Mountain for many years, and has already laid out layers of magical formations. This place is the hub of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the center where the entire spiritual veins converge, and the entire mountain is refined by it. The magic weapon and Tai Chi Nine Qi will be directly absorbed and transformed. Every time Li Fan came to make a surprise attack, he would close the formation and hide in the mountain to hold on. No matter how you blasted it with fire or slashed it with sword light, it was impossible to level the entire mountain.

This left Li Fan with nothing to do. Killing a bunch of mobs didn’t give him any experience gain. He calculated with his fingers that the God-level firepower couldn’t blow up Fuyu Mountain. If he got stuck, he could only level up and try again.

The soldiers from Mozhu Mountain were stationed at Fuyu Mountain, blocking these monsters at the door to prevent them from invading eastward. Secondly, it is impossible for the other demon kings to squat here all day long as security guards for the old lion. In this way, a sudden wave of raids would be carried out from time to time, and they would rush directly into the mountains, destroying the magic circle while exploring the way. As long as they found traces of the old lion, they could send a signal for the giant to jump over and assassinate him.

And Jiuqu Laomo couldn’t bear it, but didn’t give him a chance.

After all, Li Fan is enlightening, and he is also enlightening, and he also has many children, grandsons, little lions, and other die-hard elements who were driven out of the mountain and refused to take refuge in Mozhu Mountain. The support of the demon king and demon generals does not prevent it from going out in person.

Now under the virtual moon, the transformed demons are like leeks in the ground. After cutting one batch, there will be another batch. So time is actually on the side of the demon clan. Of course it can endure it. Just endure it with you, Mozhushan. Look. Who survives in the end.

So the two sides stayed in Fuyu Mountain for the time being.

The current strength of Mozhushan’s troops is roughly three thousand, basically on a one-to-one basis. They are stationed on the two front lines of Chengshan and Yushan, as well as stationed in various places within the territory of Mozhushan.

This time, Li Moyun brought all the five hundred tiger soldiers from Yushan, and also used the opportunity of patrol rotation to gather half of the elite troops on the western front to launch a surprise attack on Fuyushan.

In addition, most of the casual cultivators who come to do missions and collect materials are on the front line of Chengshan and can send out missions to recruit support at any time. There are two thousand Jindan monks that can be mobilized for this offensive, which is indeed not a small number for Mozhu Mountain.

Of course, there are more ‘soldiers’ in Fuyu Mountain. The monsters from the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains are gathered here, and they are dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful than Mozhu Mountain all year round. Sometimes these monsters themselves will attack and devour each other, and there are always monsters being sent over, making it difficult to estimate the accuracy.

According to the experience of repeated raids and tests over the years, hundreds of Nascent Soul demons were killed in each light array, and those demon kings at the level of gods did not even need to take action, as long as the little monsters and the soldiers of Mozhu Mountain waited until night , Mozhu Mountain naturally had to withdraw its troops and go back to rest. The cave on the top of the mountain that was captured during the day could be regained in one night.

In fact, Mo Zhushan also knew that before the giant came out of seclusion and freed up his hands, there was no possibility of killing the old lion. He just came to train soldiers every day, take the newcomers to experience the demon battlefield, and earn some materials and military merit.

Zheng Zetian was the ‘newcomer’. He also wore a standard armor suit, followed Li Shisheng on a boat, and swaggered across the Fuyu Mountains, observing the demon’s lair from a high position.

In fact, it can no longer be called a lair. These monsters have already begun to build a city.

After fighting against Mozhu Mountain for so many years, the demon tribe has also begun to make progress. They have cut down all the forests outside Fuyu Mountain, leaving the entire mountain range bare. They have dug trenches along the foot of the mountain, and they have also dug trenches at the foot of the mountain. Many caves were built, and earthen fortresses were piled at the entrances of the caves. These earthen castles are not tall either, but if you use your spiritual consciousness to scan the inner layers, there are secret passages and caves. The outside is a large rock, which is quite solid. Not only can it protect you from arrows and rain, but the mountains can also absorb the power of the Tao, and you can simply use fire to burn the city with thunder. Unable to hit. Even if the fortress outside is forcibly destroyed with magical weapons, the monsters inside can still escape through other mountain paths.

The monsters in the ditch outside also gathered in groups of ten and five steps. They also prepared a large number of javelins and crossbows. Some of the equipment was junk left behind by the ancient fairy palace, and some clearly had the style of the aliens from the west of Kunlun. , it is obvious that the divine sect is also secretly supporting this group of monsters, and does not want Mozhu Mountain to expand too fast.

Naturally, the demon clan also has an air force. What is even more outrageous is that Zheng Zetian discovered that they actually have military orders. After the little demons on the periphery discovered the warships in Mozhu Mountain, a series of intensive horns and drums sounded along the mountain fortress, and then various birds Strange bats flew out from the mountain road, and they were as dense as dark clouds.

Hundreds and thousands of monsters swarmed into a large area. As they flew closer, they could see that the demon air force was also divided into close combat and long-range combat. The Nascent Soul demons swooped down in groups to fight with the soldiers, flashing the strong wind and trying to Destroy the hull to shoot them down. The weaker ones surrounded them from a distance, carrying little demons on their backs, and threw rain of javelins and arrows from a distance, launched various demon fire and stone bullets, and even flew above the warships to throw kerosene.

Of course, Mozhu Mountain is also making progress. The armors of the tiger warriors can produce iron wings. When they rush out, they will fight with the big monsters to prevent the monsters from swarming up and rushing to the deck to destroy the hull.

And even the standard armor worn by ordinary soldiers like Zheng Zetian is not afraid of the loss of demons and the invasion of demon fire. It can even be swept away by the strong wind from the Nascent Soul Demon, leaving only a white lead.

The warships in Mozhu Mountain also have various mechanical weapons, such as divine rockets, thunder, fire, muskets, and cannons. As long as they are fired at the monster pile, the monsters in the sky and on the ground will be blasted into pieces and scattered all over the ground. He and other The monks were running around on the deck wearing armor, maintaining the mechanical puppets that practiced manipulating the turrets, controlling the route of the spacecraft, adding virtual jade charging, and replacing bomb pods for various rockets and artillery.

We conducted fire reconnaissance all the way and played ping-pong-pong all morning. We smashed all the ammunition in the boat and replaced it with various materials for demon pills and demon heads. Everyone was beaten until their armor and clothes were hot and bloody, as if they had been washed. A bath. Then he returned with a full load and flew back to Chengshan Fortress to rest.

“Zetian, how are you? Are you injured?”

Zheng Zetian helped carry the box demon meat off the boat, and there was a young woman wrapped in armor and military uniform, a snake boy with golden eyes, a black silk head, and a pair of snake jasper swords at her waist, waiting for him in front of the village, holding hands to help him pick it up. He threw off the scraps of flesh on his body and used the spiritual spring to wash away the blood foam on his body.

Zheng Zetian chuckled, “Sister Qing, I’m fine!”

This young woman was none other than Yuan Tianxiao’s Taoist companion Jiang Liuqing. She helped Zheng Zetian take off his armor. She looked up and down to make sure the boy was not injured before letting him go.

“Hmph, how old are you? If you don’t study well in Yushan, you will go to the battlefield! How can I explain to your master if something happens!”

“Sister Qing, don’t underestimate him. This kid is very experienced on the first day on the battlefield, and he is extremely accurate in shooting. He can kill a big monster with one shot!”

“Yes, yes, Sister Qing, you are a good boy. He deserves to be a well-educated man!”

The soldiers who fought side by side originally thought that this boy was good and got along well with him. They were even more satisfied when they saw that he didn’t wet his pants for the first time on the battlefield and helped him in various ways. They all spoke up for him.

Jiang Liuqing scolded, “Get out of here! Don’t give me that playful smile! If something happens, let’s see how I deal with you! Go to the camp for a physical examination and bandage! You are trying to pretend to be a man! The poison has penetrated deep into your bones, and all the giants will I can’t save you!”

“It’s the Brigade Commander!”

The soldiers fled quickly.

“Sister Qing, I’m fine! Look, I’m jumping around. I didn’t even get angry, so I started shooting from behind.”

Jiang Liuqing also shook her head and gave Zheng Zetian two bottles of elixirs.

“These idiots who don’t know the seriousness of the situation take you deep into danger. If a demon king really comes out and kills them, they are all protected by armor and they will fight to the death to escape with their lives. What will you do?

Alas, this group of people just have no brains. Don’t worry about it, Zetian. You just have to experience it. Tomorrow’s raid is going to be into the mountains. It’s too dangerous and I’m afraid we won’t be able to take care of you. So don’t participate and stay in the camp. Come inside. ”

Zheng Zetian also knew that the other party had good intentions, and what he said was indeed reasonable. He had just looked around and knew that the demons on the outside were so tightly guarded that it was difficult to break in even if they had to fight their way in. The mountain was completely run by other demon clans for many years. There are countless organizations in the territory, and without Huben’s first-level strength, equipment and battlefield experience, it is indeed difficult to take risks easily.

“Sister Qing, I understand. I won’t cause you any trouble and make people worry. However, everyone is in danger. I am also a disciple of Mozhu Mountain. How can I stand by and watch? Why don’t you let me help pass on the order?”

“Send the order?” Jiang Liuqing hesitated for a moment, “This… are you good at arithmetic?”

Mozhushan now naturally uses telegraphs to transmit military orders. The Chengshan base antenna is hidden in the Louguan Tower of the dojo. Within the Mozhushan sect’s territory, you can send telegraph messages directly to the monks. Moreover, Mozhushan’s battleship is also equipped with the latest telegraph station. Although it cannot communicate with people as accurately as the base radio station, it is enough to communicate with the base base camp. It can feedback information in time during war and has a two-way communication channel with Chengshan Fortress.

However, currently on the front line of Fuyu Mountain, due to too many monsters and signal interference from various barrier formations and terrain, once the soldiers enter the cave and attack deep into the mountain, it will be difficult for Chengshan’s headquarters to directly contact Fuyu Mountain. The troops and individuals within.

Therefore, the current tactics are to use battleships as a medium to make a transit. At the beginning of the assault, the firepower is first concentrated to clear out the demons on the ground. Then Chengshan Fortress will combine the feedback from each battleship to select the coordinates of the assault and arrange complex direct assaults. Troops, troops for peripheral sweeps, and troops to support snipers.

Then the warship responsible for breaking into the mountain will suddenly descend under cover and stop at the entrance of the broken cave tunnel to establish a position. Some soldiers will form a defensive formation outside, and some soldiers will break into the mountain to conduct reconnaissance. As for whether they can search for traces of the lion demon after entering the mountain, when to retreat and when to counterattack, in the event of an emergency, it still depends on the decision of the frontline commanders.

The order Zheng Zetian talked about was to receive the signal through the radio in the Chengshan camp, and then translate it into an order and issue it.

This was originally the job of an agency puppet, but the puppet’s code had been debugged in advance, and it used common words sent by the telegraph. But it was different on the battlefield. The military situation was urgent and required the planning assistance of experts who were proficient in arithmetic. Now there are old Taoist priests sent by Louguan Taoism in the army to preside over it, but there are not too many people to help.

Zheng Zetian patted his chest and said, “No problem! Master is teaching me arithmetic. The purpose is to learn more and practice more. I also want to do my best for Mozhu Mountain. Please Sister Qing, no, please give me this opportunity, Brigadier General !”

Jiang Liuqing smiled and patted his shoulder.

“Okay! Dayou is the most proficient in arithmetic in our Zhushan lineage. He is usually not only responsible for delivering orders, setting up camps, allocating food and wages, and handling rewards and punishments for meritorious deeds, but he has never made any mistakes. He was transferred to Yushan for support. I’m really busy! Since you are willing to help, come and see how much you have inherited from the master! Hurry up, I will take you to try the radio and pass on the military symbols and military orders to you!”

With Jiang Liuqing personally taking him and telling Song Dayou’s name, Zheng Zetian is naturally one of his own. Others started as soldiers. He lived directly in the camp and came to the headquarters for internship. He can also be regarded as a disciple. Welfare.

In fact, he could see that the armor divisions of Moshan were well trained. After these years of fierce battles in Shiwanda Mountain, their personal combat capabilities and equipment and support were all rare elite soldiers, no better than three. What a big difference. The reason why many years have been spent here in vain is not entirely a matter of combat power, but mainly because the giant has led him astray.

It’s not that he speaks ill of the giant behind his back, but the soldiers and tactics he designed are actually quite stupid. He just entangles the elites, piles up firepower and equipment, and then rushes into the enemy formation. As soon as he finds the old lion demon, he will use the talisman to summon people. . It’s better to say that it’s a war than an assassination.

And those division commanders and brigade commanders on the front line don’t know how to fight, UU Reading www.uukanshu． NET I really don’t know how to do it. Li Moyun and Li Shisheng are mostly tough guys who don’t turn at all. They just rush in when the giant says. Even if they have the help of monks like Zhenren from Louguan Taoism and Song Dayou, they actually don’t know how to do it in their bones. They are still cultivators. In the concept of monks, the purpose of conquering the Hundred Thousand Mountains is to work together to eliminate demons and to hunt. Isn’t that just staring at the demon lair and fighting over and over again?

But it happened that their opponents were also flat-haired beasts with no brains, so Tiehanhan on both sides fought hard and pushed them one by one, and they were forced to spend on this bull. So much so that Zheng Zetian was almost speechless when he followed the scouts to investigate just now.

You said that you have been in Fuyu Mountain for so many years, why do you only think about the tactic of airborne giants and beheadings? Just hit it hard?

If they can’t come out, why don’t you set a trap? Use a room? Mobilize them and fight again? It is completely possible to cross Fuyu Mountain and loot other demon tribes’ lairs in the rear, ambushing them along the way and disrupting the demon tribe’s deployment?

If it really doesn’t work, you have to attack the mountain. What about running out of food? Cut off the water? Cut off the earth’s veins? Breaking the formation? Breaking the law? Break its spell? What about the plague? What about the poisonous poison? What about beheading with a flying sword? Lower your head? Pressure wins? Are you going to cast a spell on them as a soul?

Do you, the mages who practice qi, really think that they are soldiers when they are wearing armor? Then you fight with the mindset of fighting? ?

Alas, this group of southern barbarian bumpkins are still too honest. If no one guides them, they will not be able to turn their heads. No wonder the giants dare not talk about the Northern Expedition. Aren’t these gangsters going to kill people when they arrive in the Central Plains?

Seeing that Mozhu Mountain is full of remnants of the Luo sect, and maybe they are all his disciples and grandchildren, Zheng Zetian decided to teach some of the experience and tactics he learned from the three major sects’ sieges that year. Anyway, Xuanmen If you see it, you can blame it on Xu Si and Yuan Tianxiao.
