Chapter 1189 Grasshopper Climbs the Mountain
Defending against the mountain, even if there is no fortress built on the mountain, the mountain itself is comparable to a fortress. If the army attacks such a place, it will pay a considerable price of casualties.
This is also one of the important reasons why Viola clearly declared war on the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon, but did not go to the capital of Tandelon, because that direction was not a dense forest, but a mountain in the middle, and a strong attack would be difficult. A big loss.
In a situation like this of the Sirius Sect, even if the regular army is allowed to do it, they can only surround but not fight. The safest way is to consume the opponent alive. Moreover, Laotou Mountain has rivers formed by melting glaciers and snow, but there is not enough dense vegetation. Setting fire to the mountain None of them worked.
Is it really reliable for a group of Jianghu people to attack a place like this?
Actually, it’s really reliable.
The most troublesome part of attacking a mountain is that the defenders will block the passage up the mountain. People live high up and wait for work. Not only do they greet you with arrows, but climbing up consumes a lot of energy. You won't have the energy to kill people before you rush up.
But these Jianghu people are different. They have Qinggong.
For example, when passing through a zigzag staircase going up a mountain, at the top there are archers of the Sirius Sect shooting arrows down, and a large number of Sirius Sect members holding scimitars are still rushing down, and there are roadblocks and other miscellaneous things on the road. Things are blocking the way, so it's quite troublesome to get up there.
But people in Jianghu don't care whether you have roadblocks or not. Just step on the rock wall to relay, and people will go up and take the steps?
Yes, but not necessary.
The archers above planned to cover it with firepower, but were immediately defeated by Lingyunguan and Qijuemen who surrounded them from the left and right sides.
Immediately, the disciples of Tianjue Palace stepped on the rock wall and jumped up again, basically taking the platform.
As long as it is not an overly steep cliff, it is no different from flat ground to these people who come and go, which greatly saves the time and energy of going up the mountain.
From the beginning, it only took about an hour in total, and we were already halfway up the mountain. If everything goes well, it is expected to be completed before dawn.
Compared with the speed of normal people climbing mountains, it is simply amazing.
But here is the troublesome part, because going up is no longer the same road. With a cursory scan, you can see more than a dozen different routes up the mountain, and there are many more routes that you have not noticed yet.
The main road has been changed into many small roads. Now there are insufficient manpower. It is very dangerous to divide the troops. However, if they go together, the small roads will be too crowded, which is detrimental to advancement.
However, Tianjue Palace should have collected information about the Sirius Sect in advance, and Shen Qingluo knew what to do at this point.
The team that originally went up the mountain in a long snake formation was divided into three groups and moved forward separately on the three roads on the left side of the mountain.
This can not only ensure the forward speed, but also take care of each other.
The disciples of small and medium-sized sects and followers of Jianghu who followed also consciously divided into three groups and followed the vanguard up the mountain. Yang Yiyi was on the far right.
Maybe it's because the mountain road here is relatively narrow, and the people of the Sirius Sect can't take advantage of their numerical advantage. Instead, there are fewer people shouting about the ancestors of the Sirius.
"Be careful Sagi!"
Someone shouted in front of me, and then I heard the sound of jingling bells rolling down from above.
Rows of waist-thick logs rolled down the steep mountain road. If you couldn't dodge before being photographed, it wouldn't be too dangerous. You were just afraid of being photographed directly. After all, you were already very high now.
People in the arena who were advancing up this road started jumping one after another like jumping on a box, and Yang Yiyi was no exception.
She picked up the wheelchair and jumped up together with Wu Shaoyi. This group of Jianghu people is different from the rabble that went up to the mountain to besiege the Tianlang Sect last time. Almost all of them were carefully selected by Tianjue Palace, and there were very few rookies.
It's just wood. As long as you're not careless, there won't be any damage.
There is not much wood around the Sirius Sect, let alone transporting a large amount of wood up the mountain, so it quickly changed from a tree to a rolling stone.
This lethality is much higher than that of Samu, but the effect it has on these gangsters is actually just that.
Those who are not good at qinggong and have difficulty moving will be taken with them. It is not difficult to see the right moment when the rolling stone rolls down and take off, but the painting style is not good-looking, like a swarm of grasshoppers climbing a mountain...
Tianjue Palace, who was opening the way at the front, responded very quickly. As soon as Li Chengqi raised the angle of view, he saw that Tian Jue Palace had already rushed forward, killing the members of the Sirius Sect who were pushing down the rolling stones.
Without the rolling stones falling down, everyone went up the mountain faster.
After going up, we found a large platform, which should be the material storage yard of the Sirius Sect. We could see a lot of wood and stones.
These things were all building materials used when building the Sirius Sect's main altar, and now they are just used as temporary defenses.
Having said that, even though the people in Jianghu seem to be very fierce, fighting all the way up must have taken a lot of physical exertion. Now that we have reached a spacious place, it is best to stop and take a breath before continuing up. Anyway, it is not far from the top of the mountain. Far away.
But no, because the number of Sirius Sect members has not decreased, and they are still pouring out.
And compared to the miscellaneous fish below, the ones here are obviously more difficult to deal with.
This is mainly reflected in the fact that some of them do know a little bit of magic, such as waving their hands to create a golden light or something. There is no special effect, it is just a simple sound and light special effect.
This is enough to deceive ordinary believers, and make them think that they have indeed been blessed by the Heavenly Wolf Ancestor. They are not afraid of death when fighting, and their blood is boiling, and their strength is a bit stronger than usual.
It's obviously pure deception, but it can indeed make people burst out with stronger power. That's how people are, the more they lie to themselves, the more capable they are.
This caused a lot of trouble for the advancement, and here, the middle management of the Sirius Sect, that is, figures of the level of the Twenty-Four Pioneers and the Eight Great Vajras, were also mixed in with the general congregation.
Although guys at the level of Pioneer do not pose a threat to Yang Yiyi, you still need to be careful. After all, the remaining three of the Four Heavenly Kings may also mix in the crowd and pretend to be their grandsons. If this is a sneak attack, it will be troublesome.
Because the intensity has obviously increased a lot, you can clearly see the temple-like building of the Tianlang family's main altar now if you look up, but you still can't rush up immediately.
Li Chengqi also saw that thing, but to be honest, he thought it looked a bit familiar. It looked like the architectural style of the Potala Palace...
But there was no time to talk about this. Everyone came to the platform and were about to continue pushing up when they heard the sound of wind and thunder.
There is always little rain in the desert, but at this time, large dark clouds covered the sky. It was obviously cloudless weather when we went up the mountain.
Li Chengqi suddenly felt that Shen Qingluo's statement that the leader of the Sirius Sect could cast spells was not a rumor.
