Chapter 402: Squatting and robbing bricks
The Song people came very quickly. Few people dared to do whatever they had to do with the matters involved in the BRICS.
"Three hundred... no, it should be close to four hundred people." A wolf soldier lay on the ground, his ears pressed against the ground and listened to the sound of horse hooves shaking in the distance.
"Four hundred horses are not necessarily four hundred people." Tianyou looked at the big tree above his head and signaled others to wait. Then he raised his hand and threw out the hook lock, hung a tree trunk, and gently pulled the person and flew up with the force. Several ups and downs came to the top of the treetops. Through the gaps between the leaves, you can clearly see the horse team running through the road in the distance.
Soon Tianyou fell to the ground again and said to everyone: "More than 400 horses, but more than 500 people. Some of them are one horse and two."
"It seems that our chance this time is slim!" Zhao Lingyun sighed...
"Or we will go in from behind when they are fighting?" Pang Dahai suggested.
Sister Qi immediately retorted: "Senior Brother Dahai, you are too simple. Those people will not let us take away the Golden Bricks."
"Xi Xiaomei is right." Zhao Lingyun also agreed with her opinion. "Unless the Song people brought the Jin Bricks out, even if we rushed in alone, Xiao Bihe would not let us take the Jin Bricks away. Instead of having a conflict with them, it would be better to give up the mission."
"It's meaningless to guess here. Let's wait and see if their battle results are coming to a conclusion." Tianyou finally made the final decision.
Since the reinforcements of the Song people had entered the supervision range of Tianyou and theirs, it naturally means that they were not far away from the gold bricks. So when Tianyou and theirs moved slowly, the two sides had already started fighting, and the battle situation was even more intense than expected.
I don’t know what was wrong with the Song people, but everyone used the life-for-life fighting style like crazy. Although it caused huge casualties, it also caused heavy damage to Xiao Bi and the group of people. More importantly, some of the scattered bricks that were close to the periphery had been concentrated by the Song people, and it seemed that there were about thirty pieces.
Compared with the more than 250 gold bricks scattered, these thirty pieces seem to be in small quantities. However, thinking about Xiao Bi and they fought hard before, they only got 8 pieces, which is quite amazing.
However, although the Song people successfully concentrated the gold bricks, they could not transport them out for a while, because Xiao Bi and others were not stupid. While fighting, they were still actively interfering with the transportation here, which made the Song people unable to get these gold bricks out first several times.
However, Xiao Bi and the other side had a disadvantage in terms of number of people, so the Song people finally found an opportunity. One of the Song people was quick to learn, grabbed a piece of gold brick and threw it out of the battle formation. Because there were many monks in the Song Kingdom, they could easily split up people to collect the thrown bricks. On the contrary, Xiao Bi and they did not dare to disperse too much because they had few people, so they could not pick up the thrown bricks.
As the first gold brick was thrown out of the battle formation, the monks of Song State were immediately inspired and began to pull the cold zi in the battle to grab the gold bricks and throw them away, or even directly pick them with weapons and kick them with their feet. In short, just break the gold bricks and let them fly out of the battle formation is a chance. Anyway, this is the territory of Song State, and they will eventually gain an absolute advantage in number. Even if the flying gold bricks are difficult to find in the end, it is nothing more than a matter of spending more time. It is better than not snatching them away from the Qin people in front of them.
Of course, Xiao Bi and others also thought of this problem, but because they were not as strong as others in combat, they could only do it in a hurry but had no choice.
"These Song people are not stupid." Zhao Lingyun and Tianyou and others hid in a grass away from the battlefield and peered at the entire combat zone. While they were talking, they saw a monk from the Song Dynasty deliberately kicking a golden brick away. After that, the monks of Song Dynasty next to him were worried that the golden brick would not fly out of the range of the battle group, so they slapped the golden bricks on the golden bricks with their swords. As a result, they became bigger and the golden bricks flew towards Tianyou and the others like shells.
When Tianyou found that the gold bricks were flying over, he realized that it was not good. He tried to suppress the sound and reminded him: "Don't move." Unfortunately, he was still half a step late. Pang Dahai's body was obviously faster than his brain. Before he could react, he had already jumped up and rushed over to catch the gold bricks that happened to pass by their heads.
So, Pang Dahai was naturally in trouble.
The Song people knocked the gold bricks away, of course it was impossible for them to ignore it. Instead, they subconsciously glanced at the whereabouts of the gold bricks, and then saw the huge sea suddenly flying out of the grass.
"Be careful, there are still enemy reinforcements hidden around." The Song man immediately shouted and woke up the others when he found out the clue. This situation was clearer. If it were the Song man's reinforcements, he would rush over openly. There was no need to hide around and observe secretly. So without thinking, this man decided that Tianyou and the others were the reinforcements of the Qin people opposite.
To be honest, Xiao Bihe was also happy when he heard the news, but soon realized that this was not reinforcements, because although he sent someone to send a message to the country for reinforcements, no one would arrive so soon. So his first reaction was that the Song people regarded their own reinforcements as reinforcements from their Qin State, but then they thought something was wrong, so they immediately realized that it should be the return of Tianyou and his group of people.
After guessing the identity of the visitor, Xiao Bihe immediately turned his eyes around and wanted to find an opportunity to transfer the pressure, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Song Ren took the initiative to help him think of a solution.
"There are not many people on the other side, so I will divide a few people to stop the reinforcements." The commander of the Song people just glanced and confirmed that Tianyou and the others were not large, and then based on this, he made a seemingly correct but actually completely wrong decision.
The monks of Song State below immediately divided a group of people and rushed towards Tianyou and the others, and Tianyou immediately stood up from the grass.
Anyway, it has been exposed, and it is obviously not very meaningful to continue squatting on the grass, so Tianyou chose to run away.
Tianyou, who suddenly jumped out of the grass, raised his hand and shot an arrow. The man who was leading the way was instantly penetrated by arrows. He flew back three steps away and was nailed to a big tree. The monks of Song on both sides were startled. Unexpectedly, this man was so powerful that he would kill one person if he was not careful. After this stunned, the other monks of Song did not dare to stop and immediately began to accelerate forward.
The monks of Song State present all understood that they must not be allowed to distance themselves against such archers, otherwise they would only be killed by one point.
After Tianyou shot an arrow, he didn't want to fight. He called out "Run quickly" and asked the others to run with him. So Pang Dahai and his men jumped out of the grass and started running together.
Seeing Tianyou running away, the pursuers were relieved. After all, the running archers were much safer than those who stood still. However, just as the group of people were staring at Tianyou and others crossing the grass where they had been hiding before, a group of people suddenly popped up from the grass that should have been empty. Moreover, these people were extremely fierce, and almost knocked down the seven Song cultivators who had caught up with him in one encounter.
In fact, Tianyou was the only one who just turned around and escaped. The rest were illusions, which were illusions condensed by Hu Qingxuan's magic. The real Pang Dahai and others had never moved in the grass. So when these careless monks rushed over, Pang Dahai and others who suddenly came out played an unexpected role and instantly let go of these careless guys.
According to Tianyou's idea, these low-level monks on the Shenzhou Continent are like amateur mercenaries composed of a group of bodybuilders. In terms of physical fitness, they can say that they are all monsters. However, the real battle is neither a ring match nor a physical test, nor a good physical fitness, nor a victory can be won if you have good physical fitness. Otherwise, modern army would not need to do any tactical exercises, just buy a bunch of fitness equipment and work hard to train muscles.
After all, Tianyou has received professional tactical training. Even though he is only half-professional and half-amateur, he still has the tactical qualities to crush these indigenous monks. Of course, this premise is that everyone is a cultivator below level 90. Once the cultivation level exceeds this upper limit, the combat effectiveness of the monks will no longer be measured by human standards.
The first group of cultivators who chased out were all instantly destroyed. The other cultivators in the Song Kingdom were naturally quite surprised, but they still had an absolute advantage in the number of people, so they could still be shocked and not confused. However, because they didn't expect this to happen before, the other party's next action was a little slower. Tianyou and the others were able to quickly stay away from this place of right and wrong.
After half a stick of incense, in a grass, Tianyou looked at the flying trajectory of the mocking wind above his head and said, "Okay, those people are chasing the wrong direction, so you can take a break for a while."
"Huh, Pang Dahai, you idiot, why are you doing so quickly?" Zhao Lingyun glanced at Pang Dahai in dissatisfaction.
Pang Dahai, who knew that he had made a mistake, could only respond with a silly smile. Seeing that the other person ignored him, he turned to Tianyou and groped out a gold brick from his body. "Tianyou, look at this..."
"You're still carrying it?" Zhao Lingyun, who was pretending to be angry just now, was so surprised that she forgot to continue getting angry.
Pang Dahai touched his head stupidly. "This is a gold brick after all. Isn't it good to just throw it away like this?"
Zhao Lingyun, who had just come to her senses, turned around and covered her face with anger. "You are out of salvation!"
Tianyou took the gold brick with a smile, turned to look at the disciples of the sect who followed him and threw it at the first senior brother who defected to him. "Senior brother, please help me, I've brought it out anyway."
"Oh, OK." The senior brother was very surprised to take the gold bricks. Although they are now a team and everyone has the credit, Tianyou and others are more or less carrying gold bricks on them, but they always feel a little uneasy. Now that the gold bricks are in their hands, even if they run away later, they can't say that they are returning empty-handed just afterwards.
The senior brother took the gold bricks, and the others were envious again, but when they thought of more than 200 gold bricks in the woods over there, they all became eager to try it out.
Tianyou saw the restlessness of these people, gave them injections in advance, warning everyone not to take any radical actions. During this period, it was inevitable that Pang Dahai, the negative textbook, was used as a negative example, which made the latter just keep paying for everyone. Fortunately, everyone was considered smart people, and knew that Tianyou was helping Pang Dahai to expose the matter, so everyone didn't care much about it.
It’s not that these people suddenly became more aware, but because Tianyou’s ability to acquire gold bricks was too strong, which made everyone blindly believe in his ability. They felt that as long as they had a good relationship with him, they would not be inferior to these two gold bricks at all.
On the other hand, the group of people who were chasing Tianyou and the others ran in the wrong direction. After chasing for a while but not finding anyone, they returned to the battle circle. However, the group did not join the battle group again, but began to collect the gold bricks that they had thrown out before. It was obvious that the monks of Song State were planning to transport the things out.
Xiao Bi and they saw the situation here, but they were troubled by the fact that there were few people and could not take care of it. They had no choice but to watch the monks of Song gathered the gold bricks together and then escorted them to the main road.
The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole behind. Tianyou and the others had already circled back to the vicinity of the battle circle. Seeing the monks of Song who were transporting gold bricks out, they were not in a hurry to go up and grab them. First, they came too close to the battle circle, and there were many monks of Song, so they could distribute their men from the main battlefield at any time to support the escort team. Second, it was because they were far away from the carriages that Tianyou and the others hid, so it was too difficult to transport them at this time. It would be better to let the Song people help transport them out of the mountain to snatch them. Save time and effort, and consume more physical strength of the monks of Song in advance.
It has to be said that the monks of the Song Kingdom are quite efficient. This team of dozens of people easily transported more than 30 gold bricks to the edge of the forest, and then moved forward to the main road. At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly flew out from the oblique side, and instantly nailed the monk with the highest cultivation level in the team to the tree trunk beside the road. The entire iron-wood arrow shaft passed through the man's temple and shot his head against it. Even the monk's physique was killed on the spot, and he didn't even have time to hum.
"Someone attacked." Because they knew that the surroundings were not safe, the spirit of these monks was always in a state of high tension. The sudden attack only caused a trivial brief panic and recovered. However, in this short time, the second and third arrows arrived one after another, shooting two more again.
The monks are not miscellaneous soldiers, they are like generals in the battle formation. Although there are as many as sixty or seventy people in this team, most of them are Song troops shouting to help the battle outside. There are only twelve or three real monks. In the blink of an eye, three of them were killed, and the remaining monks were also a little panicked.
I thought this was a home battle within the Song Dynasty, and I would encounter reinforcements soon, so these people did not think that their actions were dangerous. However, the situation has taken a sharp turn, which makes them feel overwhelmed.
Just as the general is the backbone of the soldiers, the monks are also the confidence of the soldiers here. However, even the monks themselves are starting to be in chaos, and the soldiers below are naturally even more panicked. What's worse is that the attack has reduced the number of people to three people, and these people have not yet figured out the enemy's location. They only roughly judged the direction of the enemy from the direction of the arrow shaft.
"Don't panic." A monk in the Song people's team suddenly shouted loudly, then pinched a circle with one hand to the front, then took a breath, put his lips on the center of the circle made of his thumb and index finger and blew it out hard. With his breath, a black cloud rolled out from the circle of his palm like white smoke emitted by a fire extinguisher, covering a large area around in the blink of an eye, and it was rapidly increasing and encrypting.
"Damn, what kind of spell is this?" Tianyou, who was squatting in the open illusion barrier of Hu Qingxuan, was stunned for a moment. He wanted to fire but could no longer see the target.
A senior brother on the side happened to recognize this spell and actively explained: "This is a dark cloud technique, which can summon large areas of dark clouds to make the air moist. It can limit the power of fire-based magic, and can also provide convenience for water-based magic in advance, increasing the power of water-based magic and reducing the spell requirements. However, this person's cultivation level is not enough, so he can only blow out a dark cloud in this way."
"This is very good, much better than smoke bombs!" Tianyou looked at the fog enviously, and then asked the others: "Is there a way to break this spell? I can't snipe if I can't see anything."
"I'll do it." Another senior brother also pinched the magic trick, then opened his mouth and blew forward. A gust of wind suddenly whistled by, and leaves danced in the dense forest instantly, but it also blew the dark clouds in front of him without a trace.
Tianyou didn't have time to praise him and took advantage of this opportunity to pull the bow and shoot an arrow and kill one of them first, but the next arrow was bounced open in the target's chest.
This should be some kind of shield-like spell. Tianyou didn't recognize it but knew what it was, so he took the next arrow that was originally in his hand directly into his mouth without saying a word, and then pulled a silver arrow with a very unique shape from the arrow bag behind him.
The length of this arrow is slightly longer than that of an ordinary arrow. The arrow shaft is shining with silver light, and there are silver spots on the tail feather. But what is even more special is the spiral arrow, which is hollow, and a sesame-sized spirit stone fragment is embedded.
This is the by-product that Tianyou made when he was studying forging techniques - the magic arrow. The arrow uses a steel base, and the iron wire vine guide that was soaked with demon blood outside, and the embedded spirit stone fragments made of magic arrows can easily pass through mana shields and physical obstacles condensed by most mana. In order to strengthen the armor-piercing ability, Tianyou even lengthened the arrow shaft to increase kinetic energy.
The monk blocked an arrow and thought that his opponent's ability was nothing but Err. However, when the arrow flew, his magic shield was penetrated without any effect at all, so he looked blankly at the direction where the arrow flew in disbelief until he died.
Even with five people being damaged, the remaining monks of the Song Kingdom began to panic. The people who attacked them had a magical archery technique. The key was that they could not find their opponents so far and could not fight back. This state of being able to be beaten unilaterally is really crazy.
However, Tianyou did not intend to let them go. His target was the gold bricks, and it was impossible to give up. Seeing the remaining eight people gathered together to support multiple shields, Tianyou simply gave up the magic-breaking arrow and used ordinary arrows to start sniping the surrounding soldiers.
Although their strength is not as good as this group of monks, the performance of the soldiers in the battle formation is worse than those monks. After being killed by three people, the remaining soldiers formed a round formation and began to search for Tianyou and the others. At this time, they realized that the enemy had protection such as invisibility, and could not find it with their eyesight alone, so they could only take the risk of rushing over and breaking the tricks with their strength.
In fact, ordinary sergeants in the national destiny mission exist for this, and their significance among a group of monks lies in this moment.
With the sudden advance of those soldiers, Tianyou could indeed not hide it. The illusion could only cover up his own image, but it did not mean that he would disappear out of thin air. After the other party approached, he could no longer hide it.
However, the first thing the soldiers who came up to meet was Pang Dahai and the monks, and the result was not beyond expectations. Of course, ordinary people would crush the monks unilaterally, and they would be knocked down a large area of them when they cut melons and vegetables. However, Pang Dahai and the others did not deliberately kill, and just knocked down their opponents. Although the national destiny mission became increasingly harsh, the monks did not want to turn themselves into murderous demons. Unless for their own safety or some specific goals, they would generally stop until they could not fight again. Of course, they would not just kill people on purpose, and they would never stop in order to avoid killing people in the battle.
After dealing with some of the soldiers, Tianyou and the others were completely exposed. However, there were not a few cultivators on the opposite side. Moreover, Tianyou just started sniping in the order of cultivation from high to low, so the rest were basically cultivators with lower cultivation. After all, for Tianyou, spiritual power was like fluorescent agents. Whoever has higher cultivation level and whoever has lower cultivation level can know at a glance. Sniping the masters first, and even if the rest is faced with a head-on response, it will not cause any threat.
After a stick of incense, all the monks and soldiers of the Song Kingdom here were knocked down. Moreover, Tianyou deliberately did not kill anyone, but left many living habits. It was not that he was kind, but that he had other intentions.
It is unnecessary to not kill these people, after all, there are people around them who have discovered the activities before the Song people, so they can't hide them, so there is no need to silence them. Secondly, the existence of the wounded can drag down the other party's uninjured personnel to take care of them. Whether it is on-site treatment or sent to the back, people are always needed. Even if these wounded people can hold up an enemy, it is God bless them with one less enemy. It is not a bad thing.
After deciding the enemy, the bricks transported by these people naturally became Tianyou and their trophy, and these bricks were also sent to the carriages prepared by Tianyou and others. However, this was something temporarily prepared, so it could not be compared with those carriages specially customized in advance, so it would be greatly reduced in terms of concealment and transportation capacity.
In order to prevent it, Tianyou simply asked the senior brothers who followed him to separate a few people with carriages and horses, leaving two people behind to continue their activities with them.
As time goes by, more and more monks from Song and Qin will inevitably gather here. It is impossible for Tianyou and others to try to do it again. If the number of people is small, they will be mobile and flexible, and they may be able to catch up with troubled waters and make another vote. However, the large group of people will become a burden.
Although they were unwilling, the senior brothers of our sect who were arranged to escort the mission finally set off early. Their carriage carried a total of 40 gold bricks, which was the amount of gold bricks that Tianyou and the others had just grabbed. The amount of gold bricks that they had collected before was equivalent to clearing Tianyou and the others' loads. Otherwise, carrying so many gold bricks on them would also affect their follow-up actions.
"What do we do next?" The two senior brothers who stayed looked at Tianyou together. Based on their gains just now, they had no doubt about Tianyou's idea of getting another batch of gold bricks.
Chapter completed!
