Chapter 264: Danger in the Natural Chasm



"General Liu is very courageous. If so, I will lead the charge together with General Liu."

Liu Feng had a thousand plans in his mind.

Damn it, how can I run away when you come?

Liu Feng quickly shook his head to refuse.

"This natural barrier is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is fraught with danger. In my opinion, you and I should stand at the head and tail, so that the army can rest assured in the center."

Xiong Yan thought about it for a while and nodded with satisfaction.

"As expected of someone who dared to break into the Northern Barbarians' central camp with just three men, kill all the enemy generals, and escape unscathed. This is very thoughtful."

"Okay, the front line will be handed over to General Liu for command."

Command, command.

Liu Feng chuckled and took the lead towards the natural chasm.

After entering the natural ravine, Liu Feng became more vigilant.

At this moment, Liu Feng didn't know that Qian Mu wanted to kill him, so he thought that even if there was danger, it would come from those bandits.

He was even more worried about the Black Tortoise Armor. The reason was simple. The Black Tortoise Armor was a heavily armored cavalryman, and the halberd in his hand was extremely heavy.

Asking the Halberd Warriors to cross such an insurmountable barrier is simply courting death.

Because the halberd is not flexible, unlike weapons such as swords, it can not block one or two arrows when encountering bows and arrows.

The bulky halberd was completely useless on this natural barrier.

Originally there was no road here. In order to facilitate communication between the two places, our ancestors dug out such a passage on the cliff.

But it is extremely narrow, and in some places it is difficult for people to even stand up.

There was no careful finishing during the excavation, so there are protruding stones everywhere.

Originally, these stones could be used as handrails when people passed by.

Add a little bit of safety factor.

However, the halberd in the halberd warrior's hand was three meters long. Such a long weapon could not be held upright on this narrow natural ravine, so it could only be held horizontally.

Liu Feng walked in front, and saw halberds behind him.

If someone accidentally falls down and hits someone else with the halberd in his hand, it would be fine if it doesn't hook them, but it can easily affect other people's balance.

One mistake and the whole army will be wiped out.

Now, Liu Feng only prayed that Xiong Yan would lead the others to slowly climb the chasm and keep a certain distance.

At least they will wait until their people have reached a similar position before setting off.

Otherwise, when everyone gathers in the middle, all these basalt armors will be in real trouble.

I walked most of the way in fear and trepidation, and was about to reach the end.

Suddenly, bursts of noise came from the front.

Liu Feng's heart sank, and he thought to himself, I'm completely finished now.

"rush……."

Liu Feng shouted loudly.

The stylish Xuanwu Jia also realized that something was wrong, and after hearing Liu Feng's order, he immediately started to jog.

The heavy armor worn by the halberdiers was too heavy, and they were walking on such a narrow path while holding a halberd that was much longer than themselves.

Even at the fastest speed, it's not much faster.

Fortunately, this section is relatively easy to walk on, and it is not too bad. The other soldiers are also speeding up.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A series of sounds of breaking through the air were heard.

Seeing that it was the archers attacking, Liu Feng cursed inwardly.

What's going on with this old guy Linghu? He has already sent the letter. At least he should wait until I get there before shooting the arrow.

What do you mean? Will you feel at ease only if I die here?

Aren’t you afraid that Linghu Xiaoshan will be a widow?

Liu Feng's eyes were bloodshot. This was not the time for him to be pretentious, nor was it the time for him to act stupid.

His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he drew the scimitar from his waist, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

If there is no other way, with the strength of my scimitar, I can easily insert it into the cracks in the rock to serve as a handrail.

The biggest problem with this natural barrier is that it has not been built into a plank road.

If we follow the ancient standards for building plank roads, embed iron nails into the rock wall, then use wooden boards to make a wide platform, and then install guardrails, it would be perfect.

I don't know what the builders meant by only building such a small road.

Perhaps it is because this is not a must-pass road on the official road, but just a shortcut, so it has not been repaired.

But no matter what the reason is, Liu Feng is in trouble now.

If there were a guardrail or something, it would be fine. Now, he is really dancing on the edge of a knife.

Life and death are unpredictable.

“Ah… my eyes….”

A scream was heard from the front, followed by the sound of fighting.

There were only a few people walking in front of Liu Feng, no more than ten.

These people must have just rushed to the exit of the natural moat when they were blocked by the old man's men.

However, the Black Tortoise Armor is really resistant to attacks. With heavy armor on the body, two or three swords cannot hurt the vital parts.

"Pass the order down, change swords... and abandon the halberd..."

Liu gave the order decisively. He really didn't want these people to be killed in such a miserable way.

Halberd and horizontal sword are the standard equipment of Xuanwu Armor. The best way at this time is to abandon the halberd and use the advantage of heavy armor to fight with them.

After hearing the order, the soldiers in front and behind all changed into their swords.

As long as they are out of the natural moat, they can drop the halberd in their hands and kill the enemy immediately.

At this time, the Black Tortoise Armor finally realized the problem, quickened their pace, and with all their might, they finally rushed to the exit of the ravine.

I could see a wall of people standing ready in front of me.

Linghu Zheng's arrangements were very careful, with a staggered deployment, with 200 elite soldiers blocking the passage in front and behind, and 300 archers behind them.

These archers were not behind the elite infantry, but on the flanks of the army and on the surrounding cliffs.
