Chapter 166 Top of the Pass
Not long after, after speeding for another distance.
Lei Xiao and his eight people, who were tired from the journey, finally stopped in front of an extremely narrow mountain pass.
"Lord, this is the pass that the orc army passed through before."
A rough voice sounded, and Huzhang bowed to report: "At that time, my subordinates had already conducted a detailed investigation. This pass is the only one connecting the Demon Shadow Forest where we are to the Orc tribes on the other side of the Baibu Mountains. Through the road.”
"So this is where it is."
Lei Xiao felt the rough and uneven gravel road, and while looking around, he took a few steps forward.
At this time, except for the knotweed beside you.
The remaining six subordinates were already scattered not far away, holding their hands on their weapons and alerting them to the surrounding movements.
Lei Xiao, who walked straight into the pass and looked up, noticed.
This boundary is much more complicated than the nameless pass on the battlefield before.
Between the steep cliffs on both sides, the narrowest point can only accommodate two strong men walking side by side.
Moreover, the temperature inside the pass is significantly lower than outside, giving people a sudden feeling of coolness.
With the ray of sunlight projected in, Lei Xiao discovered again.
On the mountain walls in several relatively narrow areas, there are still many white scratches caused by scratches.
Judging from the slightly new traces, it was obviously left by the friction between the armor on the body and the mountain wall when the Orc troop passed by.
"The mountain peaks are like shavings, tens of thousands of people stand on the wall, and the towering Cui Wei... This place can indeed be called a place where one man can block the way and ten thousand people can't open it."
Stroking the surrounding hard mountain walls, Lei Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Coupled with the thousands of vines and vines all around, it looks like the sky is shining... If this was placed in the previous life, it would definitely be an excellent tourist attraction."
"Being able to see such beautiful scenery is an unexpected bonus."
Lei Xiao, who had a long sword on his waist and wore leather armor, raised his eyebrows and continued walking deeper into the pass.
After walking about another hundred meters, the eyes suddenly opened up.
What appeared in front of the group of people was a mountain road with a width of about fifty meters, which was in sharp contrast to the narrow area just now.
Looking left and right, on both sides of the mountain road, there are still cliffs as sharp as a knife.
However, these steep mountain walls are obviously shorter than before, and they are covered with dense vegetation, making them easy to hide.
"It is indeed an ideal place for ambush!"
Observing the surrounding scene carefully, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a hint of joy again on his face.
He pondered for a moment, and then asked the burly man beside him: "Polygonum cuspidatum, have you ever gone up to explore the cliffs on these two sides before?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinates have already found two roads that can go up that night. The locations are extremely hidden."
Knotweed, whose perception was fully activated, responded respectfully while paying close attention to the surrounding movements.
"Very good, let's go up and have a look."
After patting Huzhang's back to express his appreciation, Lei Xiao made a forward gesture to the other subordinates around him.
Under the guidance of the knotweed, Lei Xiao quickly circled around two cliffs as he followed the overgrown path all the way up.
"Yes, the terrain is hidden and the road is relatively flat. Not only can the magic cannon be set up, but also with the help of each other, even first-order subordinates can easily climb up."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao's dark eyes flashed with a hint of sternness, and he said to everyone: "It seems that we have found the best place to crush the boulder hanging above our heads."
After a pause, Lei Xiao, who was standing on the top of a mountain, took a bird's eye view of the depression and said to the burly man next to him: "Polygonum cuspidatum, if we want to have an ambush here, what will you do?"
"Back to the lord, the road here is wide, forming a strong contrast with the pass just now, just like the shape of a wine bottle."
The knotweed frowned and thought for a moment, then bowed and responded: "From this, if the other party is compared to the water in the bottle, this wide area is the bottle body, and the narrow pass is the bottleneck.
Then we only need to completely block the bottle mouth at the moment when the water flows through the bottleneck and is about to pour out of the bottle mouth, and then launch the attack.
By then, when the water flows back, the enemy's formation will inevitably be in chaos, and they will undoubtedly become our thorn in the urn. ”
"That's right. Letting go of the enemy's leading troops first and making the opponent's follow-up troops mistakenly think that the surroundings are safe is indeed the best time to launch an ambush."
Lei Xiao nodded appreciatively, then smiled lightly and said: "However, you also ignored a key detail."
"Oh?"
A look of confusion suddenly appeared on Huzhang's rough face, and he asked Lei Xiao doubtfully, "Please let me know, Lord."
The other subordinates also had confused expressions. As for Chaoyan, who was wearing a pointed witch hat, he had already focused his attention on the butterflies next to him.
Apart from setting fires, extinguishing fires and eating, this kind of marching and fighting was obviously too difficult for her.
Looking at everyone with confused expressions, using the metaphor of the knotweed just now, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, refocused his sight on the road under the cliff, and said slowly: "That is naturally the bottle we are in. There is no bottom of the bottle in the body area.”
"That's it! Your lord is wise."
Ye Cang took a step forward, elegantly pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said: "Because our troops are limited, even if the ambush is successful, we cannot completely prevent the enemy from retreating. Once the enemy follows the original path, , if you escape the current ambush area, the effect of the ambush battle will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.”
Hearing the sound, the surrounding subordinates all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
Even Chaoyan nodded in understanding, with an expression on her pretty face that said she felt powerful even though she didn't know why.
"However, it is not difficult to make a strong bottle bottom that prevents enemies from escaping."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and pointed to a cliff area not far away where there were many huge rocks and looked a little loose.
Directly below there is a wide mountain road area. As long as the boulder falls, it will naturally completely block the enemy's retreat.
"Understood, Lord, leave the work of making the bottom of the bottle to my subordinates."
Huzhang understood immediately and saluted Lei Xiao again.
"Very good. In this way, all the problems will be solved smoothly."
Lei Xiao patted the dust on his palms and said: "Okay, now that we have a clear understanding of everything here, then naturally we should take a look at our opponents, or in other words, what's in the bottle of water.”
"Yes! Lord!"
Respectful and neat voices rang out, and accompanied by gusts of biting wind, Lei Xiao and his group of eight people turned into meteors and shot away in the distance.
Only pieces of dust were left hanging in the air, still floating slowly.
