Chapter 1056: Marching North (Part 1)

The greatest threat from the Ji State was not the ordinary soldiers, but the Dao soldiers.

Little Wei Yuan asked around, but no one knew the origin of the gray-clad Dao soldiers, so naturally, there was no way to know their characteristics. However, analyzing their performance in actual combat, Xuan Yue and the Zhi Dan Loose Cultivator both believed that this was a heavy treasure of humanistic conquest, and it was absolutely impossible for it to be cheap. In terms of refining cost, each Dao soldier should be worth at least ten or so Qingming heavy-armored elites.

At this moment, the mountain folk in the north were still appearing in an endless stream. Five million had already been seen within the detection range, and they would soon approach the border defense line Little Wei Yuan had set up.

Little Wei Yuan pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind to start re-adjusting the deployment. All fifty thousand elites would march north to attack the mountain folk!

On the Ji State defense line, Little Wei Yuan only left fifteen thousand garrison troops and five thousand reserve troops, then deployed the heavy cannons in a dispersed manner and protected them with heavy troops. In this way, at least they wouldn't be wiped out by the Dao soldiers dropped by the immortals like in the first battle.

Little Wei Yuan then ordered continuous missile strikes on the grain warehouses and supply convoys in the rear of the Ji Army, delaying the time for the Ji Army's next general offensive as much as possible.

Subsequently, Little Wei Yuan personally led the cultivators of the Tai Chu Palace, pouring out in full strength, and marched north.

Ji State territory, northwest border.

This was a low-lying hilly area, and positions had already been built on many commanding heights, which was the newly established northern defense line.

This defense line mainly defended against the mountain folk, so it was not continuous, but existed in the form of small fortresses, with the fortresses able to cover and support each other with firepower.

At this moment, it was early morning, and a thin layer of morning mist permeated the mountains and ridges. The soldiers in the fortress watchtower looked around vigilantly. They had already received the battle report, stating that the mountain folk army had penetrated deep and would likely reach the defense line today.

A young sentry in the watchtower looked at the unusually quiet morning mist, his Adam's apple moved, and he felt inexplicably horrified.

The Dao Foundation captain observing another direction noticed the abnormality of the young sentry, walked over, patted him, and asked: "What did you find?"

The young sentry's face became paler and paler, and he said: "Mist... it's not moving..."

The Dao Foundation captain's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked forward, only to see that the mist permeating the mountains had actually stopped eerily!

"Mountain folk! Go ring the bell!"

The young sentry rushed toward the alarm bell, but several sharp arrows had already been shot from the mist. The Dao Foundation captain tried his best to intercept, but in the end, his chest was still pierced by three sharp arrows. With the moment he bought with his life, the young sentry finally rang the alarm bell.

The bell rang throughout the camp, and all the soldiers who were still resting jumped up from their beds, ran to the weapon depot, received weapons and ammunition, and then rushed to their respective positions.

Suddenly, there was the sound of explosions in the morning mist, and several mountain folk were blown out of the morning mist. Subsequently, the sound of explosions became more and more dense, and a large number of small mountain folk used their flesh and blood to flatten the minefield and rushed out!

Tong tong tong tong! Bursts of dull gunfire rang out, and three rotary machine cannons opened fire, harvesting the mountain folk rushing up from different angles.

Now, rotary machine cannons had become popular in the Qingming army, and there was no longer a shortage of shooters at the late stage of Dao Foundation. Three rotary machine cannons would be deployed in a small fortress of hundreds of people.

At the same time, the infantry cannons configured for the fortress began to roar, continuously smashing shells into the morning mist. At this moment, the soldiers were all at their posts, and the firepower intensity suddenly increased, cutting down the mountain folk in rows!

However, ordinary mountain folk were only four feet tall, and their jumping was extremely flexible, like a group of flying monkeys. In the blink of an eye, they rushed through the firepower blockade zone, rushed into the fortress, killed into the interior of the building, and some mountain folk even drilled into the interior of the fortress from the shooting holes.

The slaughter instantly unfolded in every corner of the base. ===== CHAPTER 1057 =====
