Chapter 38 Cliff Block 1
In the gap of this war, Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun were not idle. Through two fierce battles with the orcs in front of the eight-sided slope, both of them were keenly aware of the obvious shortcomings of the original army in the pure force confrontation with the orc army. And it seems that this deficiency can only be solved by finding a way to increase the number of mages.
"General, is there any way to find some powerful people to help the battle?" Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun sat in front of the map. He looked at the marching map and asked Yuqun.
"Not yet!" Yu Qun shook his head, "The powerful people in China either went to Luoyi or to the border. Now there are no mages in China to support us.
"If we have a strong mage army, I don't think their orc bear cavalry and wolf cavalry are not our opponents." Zhang Zhentian sighed after listening to the words of the group.
"I hope General Fang can bring back a support army from Baiyue Camp!" The group shook their heads helplessly.
"It's okay!" After Zhang Zhentian said, he stood up and said, "When Tao Zhu and I went to save Yao Xiu, I found a path from our camp that could lead to the ridge next to the eight-sided slope passage. What if we send a force to the ridge to prepare rolling boulders to cut off the road for them?
"Good idea!" After listening to the continuous praise, "Sir, I would like to take someone there in person."
"It's not right!" Zhang Zhentian waved his hand and said, "General, you are better at using troops than me. Let me do this task of blocking the orc's access!" Moreover, I am a mage myself, and it will be more convenient than you to do things at that time.
When Yu Qun heard this, he nodded repeatedly. Zhang Zhentian's words are not unreasonable. Yu Qun is good at martial arts. His King Kong body protection has reached the silver level, but he is not good at spells. His spiritual level has just been stuck in the green level. If there is an accident on the ridge, he will indeed not do better than Zhang Zhentian. Thinking of this, the concubine asked softly, "Sir, how many soldiers do you need to take here?"
"Fifty elite soldiers are enough." Zhang Zhentian answered.
"It's okay!" Yu Qun thought for a moment and said, "Let Tao Zhu go with you!"
"Good!" Zhang Zhentian agreed.
The next morning, Zhang Zhentian ordered 50 infantry, then called Tao Zhu and planned to go into the mountain. But when they came to the camp, they were blocked by Yao Xiu, "Zhang, where are you going?"
"Me? Ha ha. Xiuer, I'll go to the mountain. Zhang Zhentian remembered that he had entered the mountain and did not say hello to Yao Xiu, and he answered with some trembling. In fact, he is the main general of the three armies, and this matter is military affairs. Yao Xiu is not the commander-in-chief. Why does Zhang Zhentian need to say hello to you?
"Oh? Is that so?" Yao Xiu blinked a few times, and then pouted and said, "Take me! I'll go too."
"Alle! Go ahead!" Zhang Zhentian readily agreed. He has now understood Yao Xiu's temper. Anyway, even if you don't agree, she will follow; perhaps, she will make some inexplicable disasters. In this case, it's better to let her go together.
Zhang Zhentian and his party did not encounter any obstacles on the road. These orcs are like the grassland people in the earth world. Although they are brave and good at fighting, they are not as good as the original people in the south. Therefore, they naturally don't know that the original people have thought of blocking their channels to transport troops through the cliffs.
In the evening, Zhang Zhentian and his party approached the ridge next to the eight-sided slope passage. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Zhentian arranged soldiers to find a hidden and reliable place nearby and set up a temporary camp. In this world, the original people camp in the wild, and safety and reliability are the first priority. Otherwise, they don't know how they were attacked by the spiritual clan and then became spiritual people.
At night, Zhang Zhentian took Yao Xiu, and the two of them came to the cliff. Below, the torches are still moving slowly in a long line. The physique of orcs is different from that of the original people. Although they are much stronger, they are not suitable for practicing spells, nor are they suitable for the object of spiritual attachment, so they don't have to worry too much about being attacked by the spiritual clan when marching at night.
"It seems that there are a lot of them!" Yao Xiu lowered his voice and said to Zhang Zhentian beside him, "Brother Zhang, do you think we can block the road?"
"It's a little difficult!" Zhang Zhentian replied indifferently, "Although it is close to the passage, the passage below is very spacious here. We need enough stones and rolling wood!"
"Alas! If only there was a way to bombard this hillside directly. Yao Xiu looked around, and then pouted and said, "I think this cliff is good. It protrudes outward."
"Go straight down this cliff?" Zhang Zhentian listened to Yao Xiu's words, and he shook his head helplessly. He thought to himself that the stones in this mountain were not ordinary mud. They are extremely hard. If you put this stone down directly, it will take a lot of effort.
"Brother Zhang, where's your little mouse?" Yao Xiu paused for a while, and suddenly turned her head and blinked at Zhang Zhentian, "Call your little mouse out and ask if it can get down this cliff?"
"Oh?" Zhang Zhentian listened to Yao Xiu's words, and he suddenly felt a light in his eyes. That's right! The gopher is good at making holes. Maybe it really has a way to take the cliff to the bottom of the mountain. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhentian pulled Yao Xiu and kissed Yao Xiu gently on the forehead, "You're still smart!" After saying that, he put the escape rat out of his pocket. Yao Xiu, who was beside him, blushed with shock from Zhang Zhentian's kiss. She nodded slightly, and then secretly glanced at Zhang Zhentian. She saw that Zhang Zhentian had put all his energy on the escape gopher and whispered to the escape gopher there. She felt a trace of disappointment again, alas! It turned out that he was just excited and unconscious!
"All right! It promised to give us a try!" Zhang Zhentian finished whispering to the Dun Gomouse, and he raised his head and looked at Yao Xiu with excitement. However, when he found that Yao Xiu's face had become a little red, he asked puzzled, "Xiuer, what's wrong? Your face is red. Are you catching a cold?
"You hate it!" Yao Xiu gritted her teeth, grabbed Zhang Zhentian's collar and put her face close to her, "What did you just do, don't you know?"
When Zhang Zhentian listened to Yao Xiu's words, he was stunned first. Then, he suddenly woke up! I was too excited just now, as if I had kissed Yao Xiu. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhentian's face became embarrassed, "I..."
Before Zhang Zhentian could speak, Yao Xiu quickly lay on Zhang Zhentian's cheek and bit him gently. Then, she quickly got up and ran to the soldier's camp.
"You girl!" Zhang Zhentian scolded in a low voice behind Yao Xiu, and then turned around and put the Duned Gopher in front of him, whispered to the Duned Gopher for a while before leaving the cliff.
Outside the temporary camp, Yao Xiu had already stood there waiting for him to come back, "Why for so long?" As soon as Yao Xiu saw Zhang Zhentian, he pouted and said, "I thought you fell down!"
"I didn't!" Zhang Zhentian saw that there was no one around. He gently grabbed Yao Xiu's arm and then pulled Yao Xiu in front of him, "Why did you bite me?"
"Bite you? Did I bite? Yao Xiu had an innocent expression, "I don't remember!"
"Is it?" After Zhang Zhentian finished speaking, he put his face close to Yao Xiu's face. By this time, Yao Xiu was so nervous that he closed his eyes. However, Zhang Zhentian didn't really have to bite down. He knew that although Yao Xiu was naughty and generous, she was a girl after all. And if you really have to bite her, you are too small to say that you don't have done what you also like Yao Xiu.
"What are you doing? I'm not wrong." Yao Xiu waited for a long time. Seeing that there was no more movement, she opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Zhentian standing close to her. "Brother Zhang, should we...should we inform the soldiers to retreat a little?"
"Oh! Right. That's right!" Zhang Zhentian was awakened by Yao Xiu's words. He loosened his hands that grabbed Yao Xiu's arm, and then whispered, "Xiuer, I... forget it! Anyway, I just kissed. After saying that, he wiped his head and walked to the camp.
Yao Xiu stood still, with a shy smile hanging on her face. She thought about Zhang Zhentian's words for a while, and she giggled again. Immediately, she also ran to the camp.
