Chapter 2181 Manor Defense Battle 1
This gave Liang Yong a chance. As long as he quickly eliminated DuPont and the Knights' Legion, the news would still be blocked on Qizhou Island. The mainland did not know that, and when they knew that it would definitely take a process. As long as Liang was blocked well, the news would not be leaked for a few months, year or two years.
This window period is exactly the golden time required by Liang Yong. He can build Qizhou Island on a large scale, establish a complete military base, and produce a built-in weapon system. At the same time, vigorously expand the army and prepare for war. Once he is allowed to form tens of thousands of fully armed people's army, the Holy Sect was invading on a large scale, and they also have the power to protect themselves and will not allow the Holy Sect to easily attack Qizhou Island.
Build Qizhou Island into a solid base to compete with the Holy Church.
But if the war with DuPont is unsolvable, not only will DuPont continue to bring troops to reinforce and become increasingly difficult to deal with, but the situation on Qizhou Island will inevitably be leaked and attract the attention of the Holy Church. At that time, even if Liang Yong destroys DuPont, he will also attract the Holy Church to continue to fight back.
DuPont was a little depressed. Although the enemy was on the outskirts of the city and it was only a few dozen miles away to suppress bandits, his army was not going well since he left the city. A fork in front of the city just five miles away. The guide he found looked at the fork and looked puzzled, saying that there was only one road, but now it has become two. He didn't know how to go, so he needed to stand at a high place to check.
OK! Then go up the nearby hillside to check, and the army will pause.
Two knights were escorting the hillside next to the guide. As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, they were heard with two bangs and shots. The knight was killed. The guide was so scared that he rolled down the cliff and could not find his body.
DuPont was furious and sent people to chase the murderer. When the pursuers rushed to the top of the mountain, they found that the enemy was launching a sneak attack from the opposite mountain. The straight distance between the tops on both sides was 500 meters. At this time, the enemy had already run away without a trace.
However, there were also gains. The pursuers found that a fork was a dead end, but only a few hundred meters were newly opened. So the army continued to advance, but after walking two miles, the problem arose again. In the river in front, the wooden bridge on the river was demolished so that only a few lonely piers were left.
This was not difficult for DuPont. He led a logistics force of thousands of people to wave the flag and the logistics force immediately built a bridge. But in this way, his army had to stop and rest again.
Moreover, there were more than two problems along the way, and each time it could make the army stop and make a while. No wonder DuPont was depressed. It was almost noon early in the morning and walked out 10 miles. I didn’t know how much trouble I was waiting in front, and I didn’t know how far away from the enemy’s position was.
When the logistics troops cleared the piles of rocks on the road again, DuPont could not help but shouted: "All knights will dismount and follow my orders, and follow me to march!" They were all top-grade immortals, and these miscellaneous small obstacles could not stop them. The slow march just now was just to show their noble style of the knight army. But the stop and stop along the way completely exhausted DuPont's patience.
500 black and white knights took the order in unison and dismounted one after another. They threw away their unnecessary gear and followed DuPont to cross mountains and ridges with only weapons. The logistics troops of thousands of people just continued to walk and stop, repaired the destroyed roads, and set up checkpoints and supply stations along the way.
DuPont led 500 people to advance quickly. If the efficiency was amazing, he would advance 15 miles in an hour. From a distance, he could see the canyon between the two mountains. Don’t think that this is a strategic location. The distance between the two peaks is ten miles away. The terrain in the middle is flat and it is not suitable for ambushing at all.
But at the intersection, there was a stone tablet more than one meter high. Obviously, it was just recently created, and the big characters written in red paint on it were not dry yet. But the words on it made DuPont's nose crooked.
"The forbidden area of Rising Sun Manor, idle people stop!"
There is also a row of small words on the back of the stele: "Those who are good at entering will die!"
**! I am the governor of Qizhou Island. The land here is my property. You dare to set up a private manor on my territory, so I am not allowed to enter!
"Blast the stone tablet for me!" DuPont cursed.
Two thick knights rushed up and waved their hammers to hit the stone tablet. For them, the stone tablet that was more than meter high and half a foot thick was as fragile as tofu. Not to mention using an iron hammer, even if you open the mountain palm with bare hands, you can smash the stone tablet to pieces.
The two of them were indeed very skilled. When the hammer went down, a rumbling sound was shattered into eight petals, and a wisp of blue smoke even emanated. Everyone was surprised to see that they had not understood it. A louder explosion came, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked sand and stones flew everywhere.
The bodies of the two knights were instantly torn into countless pieces, and one of them had a broken leg and flew 50 meters away. DuPont and others, who were standing 5 meters away, were also shocked and fell backwards, and were hit by countless shrapnel and gravel, seriously injured more than a dozen.
"Governor!"
"godfather!"
The subordinates exclaimed together and rushed towards DuPont. More than a dozen strong men pressed DuPont down to protect him. After the explosion, they did not dare to get up.
"I'm gonna go away... I'm fine!" DuPont cursed, his face looking ugly, now it's black smoke and soil, and it's as black as the bottom of the pot.
"Father, is it okay?" Everyone quickly got up. The last guy who got up was kicked hard by DuPont, but he didn't dare to cry out for pain at all. He asked DuPont with great concern.
"I can't die, it's hateful!" DuPont cursed: "Charge me and kill all of you!"
Even the frustration made him dizzy.
Everyone did not dare to neglect, so they quickly waved their weapons and shouted and charged. In the distance, they could vaguely see the shadow of the manor among the green trees. The distance was only 4 or 5 miles, so there was no problem to kill in one breath.
But a group of people had just run out for dozens of meters, and a loud rumbling sound rang again. This time it was not just one, but several explosions, and explosions were exploded at multiple locations. There were actually many mines buried on the ground. In such open places, the power of mines was the easiest to exert. Dozens of people were knocked down at once, and more than a dozen people died on the spot.
DuPont dared not move around now, and found that these were all fatal killing weapons. They were reckless. No wonder a squadron was wiped out before, and it turned out that they were all killed on powerful firearms like the enemy.
DuPont observed carefully and found that the road to the manor was actually newly built, with soft and fresh soil spreading on it, and it was impossible to judge whether there were fire burials underground.
"Go forward from a place where there is no ground on both sides." DuPont ordered cautiously.
A knight was divided into two teams and walked along the grass on both sides of the road. His expression was very nervous. He always stared at the ground and found traces of excavation, so he took a detour.
But as soon as he walked out for more than ten meters, there was another loud bang, and four or five knights fell into the grass. The enemy actually arranged bombs in the grass, without trampling and detonating, but instead connected the wire to the bush and exploded as soon as it was pulled.
