Chapter 1189 Grasshopper Climbing a Mountain

Defending on the mountain, even if there is no fortress on the mountain, the mountain itself is comparable to a fortress. The army will pay a considerable price in casualties if it attacks such a place.

This is also one of the important reasons why Viola did not go to the capital of Tandelon even though she declared war on the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon, because there is no dense forest in that direction, but a mountain in the middle, and a strong attack will result in great losses.

In the case of the Sirius Cult, even if the regular army is used, they can only surround but not fight, and it is the safest to exhaust the opponent alive. Moreover, there are rivers formed by glacier melting snow on the Old Man Mountain, but there is not enough dense vegetation, so setting fire to the mountain is not possible.

Is it really reliable for a group of Jianghu people to attack such a place?

In fact, it is really reliable.

The most troublesome part of attacking a mountain is that the defenders will block the way up the mountain. They are high above and wait for the enemy to work. Not only will they greet you with a rain of arrows when they meet, but climbing up will consume your physical strength. You will not have the strength to cut people before you rush up.

But this group of Jianghu people is different. They have light skills.

For example, if you pass a zigzag staircase going up the mountain, at the top, the archers of the Tianlang Sect are shooting arrows, and a bunch of Tianlang Sect members holding scimitars are still rushing down, and there are roadblocks and other debris blocking the way, so it is quite troublesome to go up.

But the Jianghu people don’t care about roadblocks or not, just step on the rock wall to relay, and people will go up. Take the stairs?

Yes, but it’s not necessary.

The archers above planned to cover with firepower, and then they were killed by Lingyun Temple and Qijuemen who surrounded them from both sides.

Then the disciples of Tianjue Palace jumped up again on the rock wall, and basically the platform was taken.

As long as it is not a too steep cliff, it is no different from flat ground for these Jianghu people who go up and down, which greatly saves time and energy to go up the mountain.

From the beginning, it only took about an hour in total, and they have already killed halfway up the mountain. If everything goes well, it is expected to be done before dawn.

Compared with the speed of normal people climbing mountains, it is simply amazing.

However, it is troublesome here, because going up is not just one road. A rough glance can see more than a dozen different routes up the mountain, and there are many routes that have not been noticed yet.

Changed from the main road to many small roads, now there is a shortage of manpower, it is very dangerous to divide the troops, but if they go together, the small roads will be too crowded, which is not conducive to advancement.

However, Tianjue Palace should have collected intelligence about the Tianlang Sect in advance, and Shen Qingluo also knew what to do at this step.

The team that originally went up the mountain in a long snake formation was divided into three groups, and they went forward separately on the three roads on the left side of the mountain.

This can not only ensure the speed of advancement, but also take care of each other.

The disciples of small and medium-sized sects and the wanderers of the rivers and lakes who followed behind also consciously divided into three groups to follow the vanguard up the mountain, and Yang Yiyi was on the rightmost one.

It may be because the mountain road here is relatively narrow, and the people of the Tianlang Sect can't play the advantage of numbers, and the guys who shouted something like the Tianlang Ancestor have become fewer.

"Be careful of the logs!"

Someone shouted in front, and then there was a clanging sound of logs rolling down from above.

Rows of thick logs rolled down the steep mountain road. If you can't dodge and get hit, it's not too fatal. The only thing to worry about is being hit directly, after all, it's already very high.

The people who were advancing up this road started jumping one after another like jumping boxes, and Yang Yiyi was no exception.

She picked up the wheelchair and jumped up with Wu Shaoyi.

This group of people was different from the mob that went up the mountain to besiege the Tianlang Sect last time. Almost all of them were carefully selected by the Tianjue Palace, and there were very few rookies.

A mere log would not be damaged unless you were careless.

There were not many logs around the Tianlang Sect, let alone transporting a large amount of wood up the mountain, so the logs quickly turned into rolling stones.

This one has much higher lethality than a log, but the effect it has on this group of people is actually just that.

Those who were not good at Qinggong and had difficulty in moving were led by others. It was not difficult to land and jump when the rolling stones fell, but the style was not good, like a group of grasshoppers climbing a mountain...

The Tianjue Palace, which was leading the way in the front, responded quickly. As soon as Li Chengxi raised his perspective, he saw that the Tianjue Palace had rushed up and killed the Tianlang Sect members who were pushing the rolling stones down.

Without the rolling stones falling down, the speed of the people climbing the mountain was faster.

After going up, they found that it was a large platform, which should be the material storage site of the Tianlang Sect. There were a lot of wood and stones.

These things were the building materials used when the Tianlang Sect’s headquarters was built. Now they are just temporary defensive fortifications.

In other words, although the people in the rivers and lakes seem to be very fierce, they must have consumed a lot of physical strength to kill all the way up. Now they have reached a spacious place. It is best to stop and rest to take a breath, and then continue to climb. Anyway, the distance to the top of the mountain is not far.

But it is not possible, because the number of Tianlang Sect members has not decreased, and they are still pouring out.

And compared to the small fish below, the ones here are obviously more difficult to deal with.

This is mainly reflected in the fact that some of them do know a little magic, such as waving their hands to emit golden light or something, there is no special effect, just simple sound and light effects.

This is enough to fool ordinary believers, and make them think that they have indeed received the protection of the Tianlang Patriarch. When they fight, they are fearless and enthusiastic, and their strength is a little greater than usual.

It is obviously pure deception, but it can indeed make people burst out with stronger power. People are like this. The more they deceive themselves, the more capable they are.

This caused a lot of trouble for the advancement, and at this point, the middle management of the Tianlang Cult, that is, the twenty-four pioneers and the eight Vajra, are also mixed in with ordinary believers.

Although the pioneers are not a threat to Yang Yiyi, they still need to be careful. After all, the remaining three of the four kings may also be mixed in the crowd pretending to be grandsons. If they attack by surprise, it will be troublesome.

Because the strength has obviously increased a lot, now as long as you look up, you can even clearly see the temple-like building of the Tianlang family headquarters, but you still can't rush up immediately.

Li Chengxi also saw that thing, but to be honest, he felt that it looked familiar, and it looked like the architectural style of the Potala Palace...

But there was no time to talk about this. Everyone went up to the platform and was about to continue pushing up when they heard the sound of thunder and lightning.

There is usually little rain in the desert, but at this time, a large area of ​​dark clouds covered the sky. It was a clear and cloudless day when they went up the mountain.

Li Chengxi suddenly felt that Shen Qingluo's statement that the leader of the Tianlang Sect could cast spells should not be a rumor.
