Chapter 650: Mountain of Demon Souls
In the territory of the Demon Domain, on the western border, there is a mountain range that is trapped in the gods,
The Shenzhu Mountain Range is remote, the poor mountains and bad waters, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the poisonous insects and beasts, the miasma is pervasive, and it is not suitable for human habitation, therefore, this place is inaccessible, and there are few people.
The Shenzhu Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, with peaks and forests, and there are more than 70 large and small peaks, among which, the highest peak in size is called Demon Soul Mountain.
Demon Soul Mountain is located in the center of the Divine Trapped Mountain Range, surrounded by peaks, whoever wants to enter the Demon Soul Mountain, must break through the layers of peaks, therefore, those outer peaks are like layers of natural defensive barriers, guarding the safety of the Demon Soul Mountain.
In the past, the Shenzhu Mountain Range was a place of ruin and death, a forbidden area for human beings, except for animals and hundreds of natives, outsiders did not want to set foot at all, but over the years, someone suddenly broke into the Shenzhu Mountain Range, occupied the Demon Soul Mountain, built a large number of buildings on the mountain, built a palace, and also set up a checkpoint on the outer peak, sent people to patrol the mountain, and looked like a king and hegemon, and lived here forever.
The first to break into the Shenzhu Mountain Range was a group of Jiangyang thieves who killed people and had excellent martial arts, because they were traitors and criminals, they were hunted down by the Demon Gate Holy Sect, and in order to survive, they panicked and fled to the Shenzhu Mountain Range.
After these robbers entered the Shenzhu Mountain Range, they saw that although the living conditions here were extremely difficult and the transportation was inconvenient, it was an excellent hiding place, so they slaughtered all the local natives, occupied the Demon Soul Mountain, and lived for a long time.
These robbers are very ferocious, but they are also very smart, they enter the Divine Trapped Mountain Range, after occupying the Demon Soul Mountain, in order to make long-term plans, secretly call friends, recruit troops, and wait for enough personnel, and then, with the Demon Soul Mountain as the center, set up outposts on the surrounding peaks, stationed personnel, and outsiders are forbidden to enter, and the Demon Soul Mountain is strictly protected.
These robbers entered the Divine Trapped Mountain Range, and after settling down in the Demon Soul Mountain, they often gathered people and horses, walked out of the Divine Trapped Mountain Range, sneaked outside, saw the right time, and plundered on a large scale, and after getting money and food, they quickly retreated to the Divine Trapped Mountain Range, hid in the Demon Soul Mountain, and then drunk and dreamed of death, happy and happy.
The lawlessness of these robbers gradually attracted the attention of the Demon Gate Holy Sect, and the local armed forces of the Demon Gate Holy Sect began to encircle and suppress this gang of bandits, but because these robbers acted strangely and were difficult to find, even if they found it, they couldn't catch up.
The local armed forces of the Demon Gate Holy Sect could not be contained, and this group of bandits entrenched in the Shenzhu Mountain Range, in order to maintain the safety of one party, kept handing over the folds to the headquarters of the Chaotian King City, and made it clear that there were robbers in the Shenjiao Mountain Range, and they asked for support for the disaster of the common people.
There are robbers in the Shenzhu Mountain Range, and they finally attract the attention of the Ziyu Palace, Yun Mutian asked a little-known general to transfer 50,000 infantry to various military camps, as well as a black flame cavalry of about 100 people, and cooperate with the local terracotta warriors to encircle and suppress the bandits entrenched in the Shenjiao Mountain Range.
The general first forcibly moved the residents around the Shenjiao Mountains to other counties, creating a large area of no-man's land around the Shenjiao Mountain Range, and the walls were clear, so that if there were robbers who came out to rob, they would also have nothing to rob.
Secondly, let a person with high skills lead twenty black flame cavalry, and then lead an infantry of several hundred people, patrol the periphery of the Shenzhu Mountain Range day and night, once the robbers are found, immediately pursue, and the robbers will flee in all directions like rabbits, so that even if they can't kill and hunt down the robbers, they must make it difficult for the robbers to stop, and it is difficult to carry out raids.
In short, the general's countermeasure was that he would use his long snake array to tightly surround the Divine Trapped Mountain Range, so that these robbers living in the Demon Soul Mountain would starve to death without food and clothing.
It's a pity that this general is a mediocre talent, ignorant of the art of war, unrealistic in his actions, and wishful thinking.
First of all, the Shenzhu Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles and has a wide area, and if you want to besiege the entire mountain range, there are not enough people and horses, and it is impossible to besiege the robbers.
Secondly, you can plant a fence, others can also pull out the pile, you have a good plan, people have a ladder to dismantle, the robbers face the blockade of the general, they can completely concentrate their forces, attack the weak part of your formation, attack a point, in this way, don't you can break through your encirclement all at once, turn passive into active, and control the rhythm of victory?
Finally, and the most critical point, the robbers are prepared for danger in times of peace, take precautions, and have already stored a lot of food in the underground palace of the Demon Soul Mountain, and they are starving for a year and a half, and on the other hand, on the side of the Demon Gate Holy Sect, so many soldiers are stationed outside, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is huge, and the money is like flowing water, whether it can be consumed by the robbers, the result is unpredictable.
For the sake of safety, the general was determined to consume the robbers, but, in this way, two months have passed, and the robbers have not been consumed by him, but he has waited for several orders from the Chaotian King City.
Seeing that the Holy Monarch Yun Mutian didn't want to go down with the robbers, and wanted to fight a quick battle, he couldn't do it for a while, so he had to change his strategy, and the defense turned into an offense, so he organized tens of thousands of horses into several columns and entered the Shenzhu Mountain Range to search for the robbers and seek a decisive battle.
The ideal is plump, but now it is cruel.
It didn't take long for several of the general's troops to enter the Divine Trapped Mountains but they were ambushed on the way, suffering heavy losses and hindering their movements.
When Yun Mutian learned the news of the defeat, he was furious, and in consideration of economic costs, he removed the general from his post and investigated, withdrew the army of bandits, and turned a blind eye to the robbers, as long as the robbers did not make too much trouble, they let them do anything wrong and ignore them.
When these robbers saw that the soldiers and horses of the Demon Gate Holy Sect had withdrawn from the siege and suppression of them, and they saw that the most powerful forces in the Demon Domain had nothing to do with them, they were greatly encouraged, and they were a little drifting for a while, so they attacked frequently, looted wantonly, and harmed the Quartet, and acted very recklessly and rampantly.
In this way, in a few years, the robbers of the Demon Soul Mountain have become famous and powerful, and have become the spiritual holy land of the world's lawbreakers, attracting many outlaws from all over the world to secretly come to the Shenzhu Mountain Range and worship under the door of the robbers.
The robbers robbed a huge fortune anyway, in order to expand the team, over the years, they greeted those who had taken refuge in them, and they did not refuse, and in the past few years, there were thousands of people who defected to the Demon Soul Mountain.
