Just when the battle of Qianling City was close to the end of the victory, the palace merchant looked up to the sky and sighed, he observed the sky and noticed that there was a change, the heavy rain was approaching, once the heavy rain fell, the Nanzhou army would definitely go over the mountain, although the disciples of Qianmen Town near the Yuequan came to Qianmen to support, but the palace merchant knew that these people alone were not the opponents of those disciples of this life cliff, and the palace merchant received the news that in Nanzhou, the army of Zhongzhou was also in danger, and he was too busy to take care of himself。

At this time, the disciples of Zhiyuequan who supported were still at least a day's way away from the town, and the speed of the fire of Yanmen Mountain was too fast, and the army had to be responsible for not only defense, but also responsible for transporting trees, firewood and grass, and supporting nearby villages, and even many villages had to send people from palace merchants to guard against wild beast attacks.

Even if there is no heavy rain, at most it can only be delayed for half a day, the heavy rain is approaching, the palace merchants dare not let people go up the mountain without authorization, the mountain stone fire burns, the rain cools, the hard rock becomes fragile, the slight accident of the mountain rock collapses, plus the effect of rain, it is easy to be injured, the defenders of Qianmen Town themselves are insufficient, if there is no battle, it will be more difficult to stop the Nanzhou army from advancing to Qianmen Town.

Gong Shang ordered people to dig a trench under Yanmen Mountain, one zhang deep, three zhang wide, must be dug before the night comes, tens of thousands of soldiers, wearing heavy armor, dig trenches, but the tools are insufficient, the ground is hard, and it cannot be completed before the night.

Since it is necessary to send troops to protect the people from the attack of wild beasts, it is better to transfer them all here, which can not only protect them, but also help dig trenches.

Seeing that the excavation speed of the trench had increased greatly, the palace merchant ordered people to brave the smoke to dig at a fixed point on Yanmen Mountain.

Before night fell, the trench was dug up, the soldiers on the mountain also went down the mountain, the palace merchants ordered people to set up camp, prepare clothes, oil paper umbrellas, the soldiers watched the huge sunset slowly fall, a bright moon has been ready to go, the sky is not a dark cloud, they all wonder why the palace merchants moved, but the palace merchants never explained their decisions, the soldiers can only obey the arrangement, ready to camp, clothes, oil paper umbrellas, after an hour, someone shouted: "The wind has changed, the wind has changed!" The smoke turned direction, the soldiers choked and coughed, the palace merchant looked at the sky, endured the cough, after a while, the dark clouds rushed, the downpour fell, extinguished the smoke, the soldiers entered the tent to avoid the rain, the palace merchant put on Suoyi, and ordered a team to wear robes, ready to climb the mountain at any time.

Gong Shang watched the heavy rain fall on Yanmen Mountain, the mountains and rivers rolled down, frowned slightly, and led a team of people to go up the mountain in person, change the direction of the mountains and rivers, and were busy on Yanmen Mountain for three hours before going down the mountain.

(7) (8) Chinese network update fastest ωωω.(7) (8) zω.cδм Everyone watched the trench slowly fill with rain, as the heavy rain became heavier, the water of the trench slowly flowed out, and the palace merchant ordered the soldiers to concentrate all the people in Qianmen Town and live in a concentrated manner, both to protect these people from the attack of the Royal Beast Sect, and to deal with the Nanzhou army and gather manpower.

The soldiers sent the people into Qianmen Town, turned back, saw that the palace merchant was still dressed in a robe, stared at Yanmen Mountain, and ordered the soldiers to strictly defend in case Nanzhou attacked on a rainy night, and the palace merchant ordered someone to transport the pine oil prepared in advance to the front of the trench.

Gong Shang looked at everything that could be prepared, and sighed slightly, in his opinion, in the face of absolute strength and far superior forces, all the wisdom could only play a role in blocking their pace, and now that the fire of Yanmen Mountain was extinguished, it could no longer completely block the barrier of Nanzhou, if the Beiyuan army attacked from Soul Returning Town at this time, the northern defense line of Zhongzhou would completely collapse.

Full of worries, the palace merchant has not slept for several days and nights! But he still does not dare to slack off, after the soldiers patrol the night, the palace merchant will re-inspect every time.

These soldiers in Qianmen Town are not vulnerable to the horror of this life cliff at all, Gong Shang, as the general of this army, he knows these soldiers too well, and it may be okay to stop the soldiers of Nanzhou, but the chance of overcoming fear and fighting to the death with the disciples of this life cliff is slim.

His soldiers are all good soldiers, but they will never become heroes, just like Gong Shang, his character is calm and witty, but he has lost the courage and righteousness of a general.

It's not that Gong Shang is afraid, but reason suppresses all illusions and suppresses the fighting spirit, and in a rational state, although it will reduce mistakes, but without passion, it will lose the possibility of trying.

Knowing each other and knowing oneself is the easiest quality for an extremely rational general like Gong Shang. Another night of anxiety, tired Gong Shang, relying on a moment of rest, too vigilant to wake him up again, after the rain and the sky, too calm, Gong Shang was worried, ordered everyone to prepare for battle, under the order of Gong Shang, pine oil poured into the trench filled with rainwater, soldiers took turns to light a fire to eat, everyone must wear armor at all times, weapons must not be half a step away from the body.

Everything was just as Gong Shang was worried, quietly, Nanzhou's army had touched Yanmen Mountain, and the disciples of this life cliff appeared in front of the soldiers as the forward, and the soldiers were in a panic, and the Gong Shang shouted: "Everyone prepare!" The fear in the eyes of the defenders of Qianmen Town, but in the eyes of the disciples of this life cliff, they enjoy this fear, they like to play with this insignificance, Gong Shang watched the disciples of this life cliff get closer and closer, and the Nanzhou army behind him slowly followed, seeing the Nanzhou army crossing the ambush place, he shouted: "Release!" A cluster of arrows with flames flew out, and then there was a roar, and the Nanzhou army was in a little panic, but it quickly stabilized its position, and then there was a burst of ridicule, Gong Shang shouted: "Drum up!" The sound of dong dong resounded all over the mountains, the soldiers of Nanzhou were very loud and loud, the gravel of Yanmen Mountain shook, and then there was a boom, the rocks of Yanmen Mountain collapsed, and the Nanzhou army was injured a lot by the rocks, and the generals of Nanzhou were angry at the palace merchants' tricks, and shouted angrily: "Kill!" The Nanzhou army did not care about the injured soldiers, rushed down the mountain, and the mountains and rocks behind them pursued, and the Nanzhou soldiers rushed to kill more quickly, looking at the slow contact, Gong Shang said: "Ignite!" The water in the trench plus pine oil, after special treatment, the trench became a wall of fire, the soldiers of Nanzhou could not control it, fell into the trench, either drowned or burned to death, watching more and more Nanzhou soldiers fall into the trench, as well as the soldiers who fell down and fell into the rocks, the generals of Nanzhou did not care about their lives at all, there was no intention of rescue, the generals of Nanzhou ordered people to push the rocks into the trench and force the trench to cross.
