Chapter 1433: Chapter 1430: Battle at the Mountainside

Tan Batian led a small team, slowly heading towards this multiple corner, he guessed that this place must be a checkpoint, unless the Kuang Family didn’t understand military strategy, otherwise such a good place couldn’t be abandoned.

Sure enough, as soon as the team reached the corner, many arrows flew out from inside, everyone hurriedly dodged, then stuck to the stone walls along the road. At this moment, the arrows stopped firing, obviously someone was commanding, not shooting recklessly.

Tan Batian felt a bit depressed, at this rate, they definitely couldn’t get through, but this was originally a feint attack, they must lure them down, otherwise each checkpoint is guarded, they would form a solid defense system, it’s simply impossible to break through.

But if they don’t quickly break through their defense, wait a little longer, reinforcements might arrive.

At the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Feng saw that Tan Batian had already rushed up, knowing the plan had changed, but he trusted Tan Batian’s judgment, after all, Tan Batian wasn’t a reckless person, attacking must mean he seized the opportunity.

Everyone follow me up, the first checkpoint should have been taken by a team, so there’s no need for us to stand here, let’s first go to the first checkpoint and see what the situation is.

Soon, Xiao Feng led the remaining over four hundred soldiers to the first checkpoint, seeing dozens of people captured on the ground, he was overjoyed, this Tan Batian was indeed impressive.

In military warfare, one should act decisively when opportunity arises, not miss the chance.

Clearly, Tan Batian did right this time, this undoubtedly secured the victory in the first battle of this war, boosting their morale.

At this moment, Tan Batian saw his uncle coming, he immediately retreated with the small team, then said: "Uncle, why did you come, sorry, I rushed up on my own, without reporting to you first."

"Haha, Tan Batian you did very well, this time you’ve made a great contribution." Xiao Feng praised.

"Ah? Really?"

Evidently Tan Batian was very happy, but suddenly remembered he couldn’t get through the second checkpoint, his face immediately changed, said to Xiao Feng: "Uncle, what should we do next, this is a continuous curve, the enemy must have set many ambushes, if we rush in recklessly we’ll definitely suffer their surprise attack, the loss will be severe."

Xiao Feng examined this curve, his brow furrowed too, the war has already started, so presumably the enemy is ready, someone should have already gone up to notify the Kuang Family leader.

That means reinforcements will come soon.

Just as Xiao Feng thought this, suddenly a signal flare sounded in the sky, it’s obviously not Wu Guangzu’s type, then it must be the enemy’s signal flare for reinforcements.

So, Xiao Feng immediately commanded, let all soldiers prepare for battle. Besides paying attention to the enemy ahead, they must also watch for the movement of reinforcements.

"Second team, send thirty soldiers down the mountain to scout reinforcements, if they come find a way to delay them, we are now in an extremely dangerous situation, enemy in front, reinforcements behind." Xiao Feng ordered.

"Okay, Captain Xiao!"

The leader of the second team was Ru Nian, he stood out, shouted to the second team: "Second team first thirty out, follow me down the mountain to investigate reinforcements and implement interception."

"Yes!"

Instantly, the thirty soldiers at the front row shouted in unison, then stood out together, Ru Nian didn’t say much, directly led the team racing downward.

After Ru Nian left, Xiao Feng came directly to the front of the curve, then vigilantly watched for a while, suddenly, quickly ran over, immediately stuck to one side of the mountain wall.

At this moment, no arrows were seen firing, possibly because the speed was too fast, the other side didn’t have time to aim and reached the other side of the corner, only those opposite the stone wall could see.

Sure enough, Xiao Feng just settled down saw a dozen archers across preparing to shoot, but for a Celestial Dao seven-star peak expert, they were too slow.

Before they fired, saw a powerful Sword Qi flew over. Instantly a row of archers died, blood dyed the entire mountain wall red.

At this moment, Tan Batian saw the fight inside, immediately led twenty soldiers and ten archers rushing over. The first corner had just been cleared by Xiao Feng, shouldn’t be any ambush.

The second checkpoint seemed not difficult, just ambushed some archers at the corner, eliminated by Xiao Feng and Tan Batian’s close cooperation.

"Tan Batian, you go back first call the brothers over, I’ll go ahead to scout out the road, don’t act rashly." Xiao Feng instructed.

"Yes, Uncle."

Tan Batian also understood the severity of the situation, so didn’t dare to delay, directly ran back.

While Xiao Feng led the remaining twenty servants, began slowly walking forward, he had to know the basic situation of the third checkpoint, then discuss the strategy once everyone arrived.

On the Assassin Group’s summit.

Wu Mengting and Fang Mou along with another assassination team member lurked beside the Assassin Group’s summit entrance, watching the rapidly augmenting enemy troops, everyone was secretly smiling, knowing the enemy had been tricked.

This way the summit would be left with very few, then Chen Tianlong and Wu Guangzu would lead the assassination team directly to strike the headquarters.

Sure enough, Chen Tianlong and Wu Guangzu hid to one side, waiting for the enemy troops to rush down enough before acting.

Ten minutes later, basically only about a hundred people were left on the summit. Some were guarding various important points, such as granaries, general’s residences, etc.

"Who are they? Everyone catch them quickly."

Suddenly someone shouted, Chen Tianlong was startled, looked over, only to see a team rushing towards them, led by a tall and powerful man.

This person was Kuang Chenggong’s current Protector, Xu Pei.

Chen Tianlong furrowed his brow, knowing their identity had been exposed.

This is unsurprising, ten plus people, easy to spot, and they overlooked a point, every sentry post of the Assassin Group had sentries, just because it’s too early, sentries weren’t paying attention, clearly spotted and reported just now.

Since that’s the case, then Chen Tianlong and others had no need to hide anymore, directly walked out.

Eleven people lined up across, watching over a hundred people speeding to encircle, Chen Tianlong slightly raised the corners of his mouth, knowing the main force had descended the mountain for battle.

Then the plan proceeded on normal track, as for these people, there were two Celestial Dao experts here, still afraid of not being able to handle them?

"Archers ready!"

At this moment Xu Pei gave an order, twenty archers prepared behind, waiting for the command.

From the front, could tell behind there were ten cannon-like things, those were specially designated to launch gunpowder bombs. At this moment Xu Pei was waiting for soldiers to return with gunpowder bombs.

This was an emergency, the medicine wasn’t fetched in time, it’s a temporary deployment, thus Blood Medicine dispatched people for medicine.

"Report... General, the armory... the armory it..."

Just saw a soldier running back quickly, gasping for breath said.

"What’s with the armory? Damn it, where are the gunpowder bombs, why haven’t they been brought over yet."

Xu Pei had a bit of an urgent feeling, they were waiting for the ammunition to confront the enemy, and you’re good, delaying to come, later the enemy would run away.

"Report General, all the spare weapons and gunpowder bombs in the armory were destroyed." The soldier said hesitantly.

"What? Who? Who destroyed the armory!"

Xu Pei was already furious, suddenly his gaze fell on Chen Tianlong and others not far in the front.
