Chapter 1598 1600 [One man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it]
"Master and Uncle Master are really amazing, they really picked Liu Jin's camp." Seeing Xiang Nan and Jun Bao coming back, Deng Chang, Zhu Gui and others gathered around and said with admiration on their faces.
The two broke into the barracks of ten thousand people, not only unharmed, but also caused huge damage. At this moment, standing at the Nantian Gate and looking down, you can see the raging fire in the camp. Being in the barracks at this moment, the scene might be even more sensational.
Who would have thought that such a result was accomplished by two people, which is really unbelievable. The two masters really deserved to be gods.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly.
Special forces surprise attacks can cause great damage on the modern battlefield. Not to mention, his and Jun Bao's martial arts are far superior to those of the elite special forces, while Liu Jin's elite soldiers are far inferior to modern soldiers, so it is reasonable to cause such havoc.
It's a pity that they are not prepared enough. If Xiang Nan was given another six months to a year, he would even be able to make cannons.
At that time, put the cannon on the Nantian Gate, even if Liu Jin leads an army to attack, it is guaranteed that he will not be able to enter even a single step.
"Deng Chang, Zhu Gui, you have done a good job." Xiang Nan also praised.
Everyone nodded when they heard it.
"Okay, everyone lifted up the logs and rocks and rearranged them. I guess Liu Jin will attack the mountain tomorrow." Xiang Nan said again.
Liu Jin suffered such a big loss, not only killed and injured thousands of officers and soldiers, but also burned thousands of stones of food and grass, causing heavy losses. If he just returned home like this, he would die of shame even if he was ashamed.
So he must still be able to attack the mountain, otherwise, he would not be able to vent his bad breath.
…
Then everyone rearranged the rolling logs and rocks.
This is actually the incompetence of Lan Fu Dao.
If he left a team of more than a thousand people to guard at the foot of the Nantian Gate, Xiang Nan and others would have no chance to rearrange their defensive measures.
After rearranging, everyone had a quick meal, and then slept on the ground, preparing for the onslaught of the next day.
On the second day, Liu Jin led the army to attack the mountain as Xiang Nan expected.
Because yesterday, Xiang Nan caused too much loss to him.
Thousands of stones of food and grass were burned, and thousands of soldiers were killed or injured, especially the tragic death of the six deputy swordsmen, which made Liu Jin even more heartbroken. Because those deputy swordsmanships are all his confidantes who tried his best to win over and cultivated them carefully.
When he rebels in the future, these deputy swordsmen will be his generals. The so-called thousand soldiers are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. The loss of six deputy swordsmen is tantamount to breaking his right and left arm.
Of course he couldn't swallow this breath.
"Let me attack the mountain, attack the mountain, and I will kill all these rebels at any cost." He personally supervised the army.
Under his urging, thousands of officers and soldiers rushed up the mountain shouting like ants. Down the mountain, hundreds of soldiers beat drums to cheer.
The rumbling drums and loud shouts scared the animals on Laojun Mountain to flee in all directions, and even the birds did not dare to settle here.
Seeing such momentum, Deng Chang, Zhu Gui and others all changed their faces.
Before He Kun and Lan Daotong both led troops to attack the mountain, but the momentum was far from so great.
"It seems that Liu Jin is going to do his best." Xiang Nan nodded, "Everyone, don't be afraid, stay steady first. Once you can't stand it, retreat to the mountain."
Everyone nodded.
…
Afterwards, rolling logs, rocks, soil explosives, bitter bamboo guns, etc. came down together, harvesting a lot of heads.
Because there is no place to retreat below. Thousands of people crowded here, and Liu Jin kept urging the soldiers to attack. Even if the soldiers become timid, they dare not disobey orders.
Because the supervising team was right behind, they would beheaded if they took a step back, so the soldiers were forced to rush forward.
Seeing that he couldn't stand it anymore, Xiang Nan yelled to retreat, set a fire on the first pass, and then led everyone to rush up the mountain.
By the time the soldiers put out the fire, Xiang Nan and the others had already reached the second pass.
It is called Stone Forest by the locals. It belongs to the landscape of granite peaks and forests. The strange peaks are prominent and the teeth are criss-crossed. To pass through, you can only take a narrow plank road on the cliff.
The terrain is much more dangerous than Nantianmen. Nantian Gate can accommodate ten people at any rate, but here they can only pass through one by one. It can be said that one man is in charge of the gate, and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it.
Xiang Nan and the others destroyed the plank road immediately after they passed it.
In this way, if Liu Jin wants to continue to attack, he must rebuild the plank road. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but Xiang Nan and the others can condescend to wreak havoc while on the mountain, so it can be said that they are invincible.
…
Sure enough, Liu Jin led his troops to break through the first pass, and after arriving at the second pass, looking at the few plank roads left, his face turned livid.
Originally thought that after breaking through the Nantian Gate, Xiang Nan and others could be wiped out, but they didn't expect that there would be natural dangers blocking the way.
"Elder-in-law, my subordinates will immediately lead people to repair the plank road." Lan Fudao saw the same and asked for orders immediately.
"Regardless of the cost, hurry up and repair the plank road." Liu Jin nodded.
During his suppression of bandits, nearly 2,000 people were killed or injured, and the loss exceeded 100,000 taels. It can be said that he lost all his money.
Because although he claims to have an army of 100,000, he is actually full of troops. The real soldiers are only in the early 15,000s, and most of the rest are civilians who are responsible for transporting food and grass.
As a result, 2,000 soldiers were lost, and 10% of the troops were lost, which naturally made Liu Jin very heartbroken.
If Xiang Nan and the others can't be caught again, they will really die.
Immediately, Deputy Lan Daotong ordered people to rush to repair the plank road as soon as possible.
A group of soldiers risked their lives to climb the cliff, bit by bit, re-inserted the wooden stakes back into the rock holes, and then laid wooden boards on them so that the army could pass through.
Xiang Nan and the others naturally wouldn't just sit back and watch the plank road being repaired, and immediately throw stones down the mountain. The falling rocks fell like rain, and immediately smashed the soldiers building the plank road off the cliff.
Hearing bursts of miserable screams, echoing among the mountains, the soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, lest they be driven to the shelves and sent to build plank roads.
"Go, let me go!" Seeing the countless casualties of the soldiers, Liu Jin still refused to stop and ordered the soldiers to continue to move forward. Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot by the supervising team.
So the soldiers will die if they go, and they will die if they don't go, and their morale will drop to the bottom for a while.
…
In comparison, Xiang Nan and others are much more relaxed.
Just stand on the top of the cliff and throw stones down the mountain. Because they stood relatively high, ordinary bows and arrows couldn't shoot up, so they were simply crushing one-sidedly.
Because of this, Xiang Nan still has leisure time, playing the bamboo flute on the edge of the cliff.
The melodious sound of the flute is fascinating. Let Liu Jin hear it, but it almost exploded her heart and lungs.
There are countless casualties and soldiers on his side, and countless money and food are spent, while Xiang Nan still has the heart to play music, it is really tolerable.
"Attack, attack, attack me at any cost!" Liu Jin couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and gave orders repeatedly.
Although his subordinates knew that the plank road was not easy to repair, and how many lives would be lost if it was repaired, but seeing Liu Jin so angry, they had no choice but to force the soldiers to go forward to repair the road.
