Thinking of this, Li Guang gave a signal, and the soldiers immediately understood, took out their bows and crossbows, and quickly dealt with the few barbarian soldiers.
Next, Li Guang looked around and listened carefully to the surrounding sounds. Finding nothing unusual, he ordered his men to hide the bodies of the barbarian soldiers and prepared to go into the mountains.
Just then, a group of people rushed down from the mountain, numbering over a hundred, and surrounded Li Guang and his men.
As expected, the barbarian soldiers were prepared, and the mountain was guarded. This confirmed that this was the place where Jia Feng manufactured cannons.
Li Guang originally intended to sneak into the mountains, but he was discovered by the barbarian soldiers, which put him in a difficult situation.
Li Guang guessed that there were probably only about a hundred people guarding the mountain, and if these people were eliminated, there shouldn't be many soldiers left to defend it.
In this way, we can easily destroy the artillery here.
Since we have bombs, dealing with these barbarian soldiers shouldn't be a problem. With that in mind, Li Guang told the soldiers around him to prepare the bombs and eliminate these barbarian soldiers.
The soldiers were ready for battle when a barbarian general charged over with a large sword, completely disregarding the twenty men in front of him.
"You have quite the nerve. The immortals anticipated this move and have been waiting here for a long time."
Li Guang was taken aback. It turned out that Jia Feng had already guessed that his men were coming and had set up an ambush here.
This seems to be a bit difficult. In any case, since we're here today, we must destroy these cannons.
Li Guang didn't reply, but spurred his horse and charged towards the barbarian general. The general raised his sword to strike, but Li Guang didn't give him a chance and instantly struck, knocking the man off his horse.
The barbarian soldiers were shocked. They hadn't expected the general in front of them to be so powerful. In less than a round, he had knocked their general off his horse.
At this moment, the twenty soldiers beside Li Guang also made their move. They threw out the bombs in their hands, and the huge explosions made the entire mountain vibrate.
After a barrage of bombing, only a handful of the hundred barbarian soldiers remained, and the few remaining were killed by the soldiers who charged forward.
"There's no time to lose, let's hurry into the mountains," Li Guang ordered.
They hadn't gone far when they saw many armored vehicles rushing out from the foot of the mountain. This time, the armored vehicles rushed in front of Li Guang and his men, quickly forming a line and blocking their way.
What is this thing? Li Guang has never seen anything like it before. These vehicles are made of iron armor, and he has no idea what they are used for.
Just as Li Guang and the others were momentarily stunned, a large number of armored vehicles rushed out from behind and to the left and right sides of them, and they quickly joined together after they rushed over.
In this way, armored vehicles from four directions surrounded Li Guang and his men.
Could this be the legendary armored formation? Li Guang seemed to have heard of it.
The armored formation was extremely vicious, with a large number of armored vehicles linked together to surround the enemy's troops.
Each armored vehicle had two or three soldiers inside, who could shoot arrows out of the vehicle or thrust spears at people outside.
Because of the armored protection, those inside the armored vehicles could not be harmed by outsiders. As a result, those trapped in the armored formation were doomed to be killed.
At this moment, the armored vehicles had just surrounded the area and had not yet launched an attack on the people inside. Li Guang ordered his soldiers to concentrate their bombs on one spot to blast open a gap, and then rush out.
The group obeyed and threw the remaining bombs at the same spot. The bombs exploded immediately, but to everyone's surprise, the armored vehicles were not afraid of the bombs at all, and the armored vehicles remained intact after being blown up.
These bombs are very effective at killing people, but they are useless against armored vehicles.
Just then, another group of people came down from the foot of the mountain, estimated to be more than two hundred people, with an old man leading the group.
The old man was in his seventies or eighties, riding a sika deer, wearing strange clothes, and had many braids on his head that all hung down. He was as ugly as could be.
The old man walked up to the armored vehicle, looked at the more than twenty people trapped inside, and burst into laughter.
"I have already researched and developed the long-lost armored formation. What is unexpected is that it can also withstand bomb attacks. With the armored vehicle, what do I have to fear from your bombs?"
"With just one command from me, you people will be riddled with arrows, hahaha!"
Li Guang understood. This old man must be Jia Feng. Wasn't he in the barbarian camp? How did he end up here?
Because he had disguised himself, Jia Feng did not recognize him at all. According to Jia Feng's plan, he wanted to use these people to test the power of the armored formation.
What to do? His own horse, Di Nu, could probably get over the armored chariots and break through without any problem, but the soldiers who came with him, their warhorses couldn't get over the armored chariots.
Suddenly, Li Guang had an idea that could at least save a few soldiers and prevent the entire army from being wiped out. Thinking of this, he spoke up:
"Aren't you that sorcerer Jia Feng? Your armored formation is nothing special. I have a way to break through it. Do you dare to bet with me?"
Jia Feng was stunned. They were already trapped in the formation and could die at any moment. How could they say they could break the Ironclad Formation? It was just wishful thinking.
"You're already trapped in this formation, yet you still claim you can break it. Today, I'll give you some time. I want to see how you plan to break it," Jia Jian sneered.
"Alright, then open your demonic eyes wide and see for yourself."
After Li Guang finished speaking, he went to the soldiers and lowered his voice to say:
"This formation is extremely dangerous. I am not capable of breaking through it. I will try to rescue you as many as I can."
After you escape, return to the inn immediately and do not show yourselves.
The soldiers, not knowing how Li Guang had rescued them, asked:
"If we go out, what will happen to the marshal?"
"You don't need to worry about that. This armored formation can't hold me. Now, form a circle and run quickly. I will then throw you and your horses out of the formation."
Once outside the formation, leave immediately and do not linger.
"Yes, ma'am."
The soldiers didn't expect Li Guang to use this method to let them leave. They figured they'd fall pretty hard later, but it was much better than being riddled with arrows.
The soldiers immediately followed Li Guang's orders and began to quickly circle around him.
Jia Feng stood outside, staring intently into the formation, wanting to know how the twenty-odd people inside had managed to break through his armored formation.
The warhorses inside started spinning rapidly, and they ran faster and faster.
Li Guang seized the opportunity, and in the instant the warhorse flashed past him, he stretched his spear under the horse's body, then forcefully flicked it, sending the horse flying.
The soldiers who were chosen to be outside the armored formation immediately got up, mounted their warhorses, and galloped away.
