Chapter 312: The Enemy From Heaven (Part 2)
Whether in the Central Plains or the southwest, the construction of cities, especially those with strong and important cities, they pay attention to being backed by mountains and rivers. In this way, the city can be more supportive, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The same is true for the Long family's main city, Xunyang, and because it is located in Qianzhou, which is surrounded by mountains, it seems increasingly convenient. The towering peaks on the north side of the city are their best defense line, which is even more insurmountable than the other three walls.
At least until today, all the children of the Dragon family thought so. It was extremely difficult to climb up the steep peak, let alone launch any threatening attack on the city from there.
But, just today, at this moment, when Li Ling and his friends escaped from the city, he looked back at Xunyang with thoughts and wanted to see what was going on there, and when he raised his eyes, he saw an amazing scene-
Just above the dangerous peak in the north, countless black shadows were surging at this time. Due to distance, the specific numbers were still unclear, but there were still thousands of people. Judging from their progress, they were about to fall straight down from the mountain and attack Xunyang North City, which is the Longjiabao located at the northernmost part of the city.
What a risky attack method, and what an unreasonable behavior this is.
You should know that the mountain next to Longjia Castle is a steep cliff, almost 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground, and it is no different from ordinary city walls. It is precisely because of this terrain that the Longjia set up the fort without hesitation and hides everything that is most important in it. It can be said that since the fort is established, no one has ever thought that he would be attacked by the enemy from this side.
But now, this impossible has been turned into a possibility. The surging black shadows rushed down like monkeys, stepping on the steep cliffs, removing the downward momentum, and then stabilizing their bodies and then falling down again. Such a difficult downward rush did not affect their speed. The staggered and properly coordinated rushing shocked Li Ling and others who saw this scene.
"How is it possible..." Yang Zhen was stunned and could only call out these three words. He asked himself that his martial arts were already good. Perhaps he could run between the mountains as if he had to do his best, but this was too risky after all, and it was not a smart choice. Moreover, there were not only a few people who rushed straight down from the mountain, but hundreds of them. If he really killed so many masters, the momentum would be too great!
Li Ling was calm at this time, and his eyes flashed, his face became more and more serious: "The matter is getting worse and the chaos is getting bigger and bigger. The ones who killed the barbarians! These barbarians usually live in dangerous mountains and rivers, so I think they can do it as long as they are elite troops from each village. But in this way, they are not the soldiers and horses that can be gathered out by one or two villages. I am afraid that the ones who killed dozens of soldiers and horses that combined together in Shengman villages!"
Yang Chen was also shocked when he heard this: "How could this be? Why did they get together?"
Shengman is just a general term, which does not mean that these villages can really cooperate. On the contrary, over the years, as the Han people continue to grow in the southwest, and a group of Shuman villages that were mixed with the Han people have continued to become stronger, the oppression of Shengman is gradually declining and life is difficult. They are not opponents of the two sides, so they can only compete internally. The disputes between Shengman villages are also indispensable, and the hatred they have formed is not inferior to the Han people or the Kuman people.
Now, these Shengman villages, which should have become enemies, have joined forces, and their threats are naturally much more difficult to deal with than just a few barbarian teams. Moreover, they launched a surprise attack on Xunyang City, which had already had civil strife, in such an unexpected way. Now, the Long family has really reached a critical moment of life and death!
How did they quietly cover up near Xunyang and go around the mountains behind? Is the person behind all this related to Mo Li, and if so, what role did he play? Also, can the Shengman army and Wuguzhai be related? What is the situation with the three sects now?...
A series of questions kept popping up from Li Ling's mind, but for a moment he could not get a clear answer. The only thing he could confirm was that Xunyang City, which was under internal and external troubles, was really overwhelmed. Once Xunyang was broken, the Long family would be greatly damaged. At that time, other forces would be together, and the entire Qianzhou would inevitably be in chaos!
"Go up the mountain and leave here!" Li Ling made a quick decision. He had clearly smelled the strong conspiracy and knew that a big disturbance was about to break out in Qianzhou. Although he was in it, perhaps it had a little boost, but in fact, his and his people were just right. There were even more terrifying people who had deeper calculus dominated everything behind him.
Although he was appointed as an official in the court, such storms were not something he could stop. The only thing he could do was to leave quickly, and then jump out of the big wave and think of other ways to stop them.
The other people had already calmed down from the shock, and agreed, continuing to protect Li Ling from both sides and heading towards the forest ahead. Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, no one noticed their existence. They had to escape and find a safe place to hide. Only by protecting themselves can they turn the tide.
The few people were walking fast, and Li Ling tried his best to keep up, and at the same time, he was still thinking about what role Mo Li played in the middle. Now it seems that Long Tiande's death is probably an extremely critical part of the entire conspiracy, but how did he, an outsider of the Long family, do it? The only reasonable explanation is that there are their people inside the Long family!
Also, the union of these barbarians must be someone running around and connecting them. Who will be? Are the real remaining troops of the Huntian Army stirring up the storm? Can their little manpower really convince those who are not afraid of the world? Or is there another force that they don’t know is also involved.
Who would be so desperate to disrupt Qianzhou?
When the problem turned to this, Li Ling suddenly thought of a noun - Luo Tian Sect!
Among the many files of the government, there are records about these uneasy guys who are in trouble everywhere, provoking the people to burn, kill and loot, and becoming enemies with the government. Not to mention anything else, just in August this year, they gathered people in several places in Huaibei to make a big fuss and even captured Jiangbei County...
The chaos in Qianzhou now looks a bit similar to some of their previous behaviors! Li Ling had a secret idea in his mind, and then he thought of the Luotian Sect's pursuit of him halfway through. Although he killed the followers in time because he took action in time, he still knew from him that the other party had other arrangements and someone was ordered to chase him.
If everything here is really related to the Luotian Sect, would they have been targeted by them?
As his thoughts turned, Li Ling was already alert, and he paused when he walked up the mountain, and then shouted loudly: "Be careful..."
"Hmm?" Yang Zhen was stunned, but the three of them also stopped at the same time.
At this moment, with a whoosh, a cold light flew out of the dark forest ahead, taking Yang Chen who was leading the way. And this was just the beginning. As soon as the cold light came out, a string sounded, and more than ten sharp arrows flew out, covering the four people!
...
"Brothers from all villages, listen to me!" A man with a long sword in his hand stood on the top of the mountain. Although the wind was so strong, he could not blow his body in the slightest, nor could he blow away his loud shout:
"This is the home of our brothers and sisters in various villages. It is the Han people, the greedy Han people invaded our homes, seized the land we depend on for our living, and snatched our houses and wealth. Then they relied on the soldiers and traitors in their hands to suppress and bully us, and drove us to the depths of the forest where we could only live, not be full or wet.
"How many of our families have died of illness and death due to the harsh environment and weather? How much effort does we have to put in order to eat a little bit and no longer have to worry about dressing? All of this is caused by these Han people and those who betray our villages. Are you willing to repeat such things so that our descendants will be treated like this forever and let them live a life like wild beasts?"
These inflammatory words kept coming to the ears of every barbarian warrior, making their eyes full of blood and angry. Then all the anger turned into a roar: "I don't want it! We don't want it!"
"Then let us use our fists, our swords, our blood and chests to fight for our descendants a world, let those despicable and greedy Han people, let those cowardly and incompetent traitors know who this land belongs to, and let them pay the heaviest price with their lives!"
As he said this, he threw a torch on a pile of hay covered with tinder oil, and ignited everyone's fighting spirit and murderous intent.
These brave and fierce warriors all opened their eyes wide and howled, and rushed straight down the mountain. Some could jump down from the mountain almost ninety degrees with their flexible skills, while others needed ropes to help, but the speed of the decline was still astonishingly fast.
Thousands of people are very elite, and they run like thousands of monkeys and rush downwards, rushing straight to the city below. Someone was even halfway, bent his bow and arrow, and launched an attack on the Long family defenders who finally realized their existence.
At this time, the real main force of the Long family was still hoarding all over the city to prevent the invasion of other sects. As for the troops in the Long family fort, they were also engaged in fierce attacks and defenses with the two soldiers who had already reached the city.
