Chapter 680: One-sided siege warfare
Wu Song looked up, followed by another shock.
Wu Song secretly said that it was not good, judging from the shock, it should have been caused by the explosion of artillery, and it seemed that the Golden Crow Sect had arrived.
Indeed, as Wu Song expected, at this moment, the flying ship appeared in the sky above Storm City.
The Protector of Mu Yao stood at the bow of the ship, directing his men to launch an artillery bombardment of Storm City.
The ship was a three-story warship, each with ten guns. The Golden Crow Cult is now only equipped with ten cannons on the first layer, but even so, the destructive power of ten cannons fired together is amazing.
The cannonballs landed on the houses of Storm City, and a loud sound erupted. The houses in Storm City are igloos, which may be effective against the cold, but they are really vulnerable to shells.
Every shell that falls blows up two or three houses.
Because of the suddenness of the Golden Crow, the people in Storm City were not evacuated, and many people were killed by the shells.
After the Jade Rabbit Sect Leader learned the news, the first thing that came to mind was Wu Song, he didn't expect that Wu Song's warning to him turned out to be true.
However, although the Golden Crow Sect descended from the sky like a heavenly soldier, the leader of the Jade Rabbit Sect was old and spicy after all, and he was not flustered. He immediately ordered his men to evacuate the inhabitants of the city on the one hand, and to mobilize men to deal with the Golden Crow Sect on the other.
Storm City is located in the heart of the Far North, and the environment is harsh, and it is a bitter cold land. Ning Yan also said before that the people here never thought that someone would attack here, so there were almost no defenses in the city.
In a hurry, the people of the Jade Rabbit Sect only found some bows and arrows and javelins for hunting.
They came to the roof of the house and shot their bows and arrows at the flying ship flying in mid-air. But bows and arrows are lethal to people, and they are completely powerless against large ships.
Moreover, this big ship is also a war weapon made by the ancient peoples, and the defenses on it are extremely strong. If nothing else, the thick iron sheet that covered the bottom of the ship alone was not something that those bows and arrows could shoot through.
In this way, the battle showed a one-sided tendency. The Golden Crow Cult relied on large ships to carry out heavy artillery bombardment of Storm City. The Jade Rabbit Sect in the city had little power to fight back, and could only be beaten passively.
In just half an hour, under the shelling of the Golden Crow Sect, nearly half of Storm City was destroyed, and the residents suffered heavy casualties.
"Sect Master, the city can't be defended, it is estimated that in another half an hour, Storm City will be razed to the ground, what should we do now?" said one of his subordinates.
The Jade Rabbit Sect Leader stood in the Holy Land, looking at Storm City that was smoking everywhere, with a complicated expression on his face.
At this time, he was thinking about what Wu Song had said before, Wu Song said that there was a way to deal with the Golden Crow Sect, and the leader of the Jade Rabbit Sect didn't take it seriously at that time.
However, now, with the strength of the Jade Rabbit Sect alone, it is impossible to deal with the Golden Crow Sect, and the only hope at this time is Wu Song.
Storm City is the origin of the Jade Rabbit Cult, and it cannot be lost no matter what.
But Wu Song's fight against the Jin Crow Sect was conditional, that is, to release Yunrong. In the eyes of the Jade Rabbit Sect Leader, Yun Rong is very likely to be related to the ancient races on the evil side.
Let her go, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles.
The safety of Storm City and Yun Rong, there was only one choice between the two, and the Jade Rabbit Sect Leader was in a dilemma.
"Boom!" a cannonball landed near the Holy Land, blasting an igloo to pieces. The people inside didn't have time to escape, and they were immediately blown up in a blur of flesh and blood.
A fragment of the igloo splattered out and smashed against the walls of the Holy Land, causing a shaking.
"Sect Master, there is no time, please show me, what should we do?" The subordinate said in a hurry.
The Jade Rabbit Sect Leader frowned, suddenly looked dazed, and made a decision, "Send someone to find Wu Song immediately and tell him that I have agreed to his deal." ”
There was chaos on the ground, and at the same time, in the underground secret room, Wu Song was still looking for Yun Rong.
He walked down a hallway, and there were rooms on either side of the hallway. Wu Song looked at the rooms one by one, but none of them were Yun Rong.
The explosion on the ground had already spread to the underground secret room, and dust was constantly falling on Wu Song's head. Cracks have appeared in the walls, and it is estimated that this place will collapse soon.
"Yunrong, Yunrong, where are you?" Wu Song couldn't help but say loudly.
Suddenly, a voice said, "Is it Wu Song?"
This voice was none other than Yun Rong, and the voice came from the left. Wu Song followed the sound and found a room. Wu Song opened the window on the iron door and looked inside.
A woman was sitting on the hay on the ground, listening.
On the ceiling of the room, an oil lamp hangs, casting a dim light. The woman's face is dreamlike in the light, and her face is peerless.
Wu Song suddenly cried with excitement, and said loudly, "Yunrong, Yunrong, I can be regarded as having found you." You wait, I'll take you away. ”
Wu Song launched the Celestial Elephant Fist and hit the iron door with one punch. The iron gate was recessed inward, and Wu Song punched again, and the iron gate fell to the ground.
Wu Song ran in front of Yun Rong and said softly, "Yun Rong, you have suffered. ”
Yun Rong smiled, "I didn't expect you to come here, I was still thinking that I might not see you in my life." ”
There was a tremor, and a large amount of dust fell from the roof of the room.
Wu Song said, "Yunrong, let's go quickly, I'm afraid this place is going to collapse." ”
Wu Song took Yun Rong's hand and led her outside. As soon as the two of them walked out of the room, another violent shaking came, and a moment later, the roof of the room where Yun Rong was located shattered, and a large amount of rubble fell.
Not only the room, but also the roof of the hallway cracked and was rapidly expanding.
Wu Song estimated that this place was going to collapse soon, picked up Yunrong, and rushed outside. The gravel on the top plate kept falling behind the two of them, and Wu Song would be stoned to death as long as he took a step slower.
Wu Song ran to the exit of the underground secret room in one breath, and was only a few meters away from rushing outside. Just then, a huge piece of rubble fell overhead.
Wu Song jumped backwards in time to avoid the rubble. But the exit was completely blocked by this piece of rubble, and the sound of the wall cracking behind Wu Song kept coming.
Wu Song used his divine power and punched the gravel in front of him. Hearing a boom, the huge gravel was smashed by Wu Song's punch.
Wu Song hugged Yunrong and rushed out.
As soon as he came to the ground, he heard a series of shattering sounds behind him. Wu Song looked behind him and found that the ground in a radius of tens of meters had collapsed downward, turning into a huge deep pit.
Wu Song hurriedly helped Yun Rong up and said with concern, "Yun Rong, you're not injured, are you?"
Yun Rong's hair was a little messy, and his face was a little dusty, but other than that, he didn't suffer any injuries.
"I'm fine. Yun Rong said lightly.
"Alright, let's go. Wu Song helped Yun Rong up.
He looked at the collapsed crater behind him again, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid. If he had found Yun Rong a little later just now, then the two of them would have been buried underneath at this time.
Suddenly, Wu Song noticed that someone was coming, he turned to look, and saw that it was two members of the Jade Rabbit Sect hurrying over.
Wu Song immediately secretly used Yuan Li, took a step forward, blocked Yun Rong behind him, and said loudly, "I will never leave Yun Rong here, you can just let the horse come!"
One of them said, "Brother Wu Song, you misunderstood, we are not here to embarrass you, we have come here to be ordered by the sect leader to invite you over, the sect leader said, and he agreed to your deal." ”
Just now, the leader of the Jade Rabbit Sect sent someone to find Wu Song, and the people sent went to Wu Song and Ning Yan's resting igloo first, but naturally they didn't find Wu Song. From Ning Yan's mouth, they learned that Wu Song had come to the underground secret room to rescue Yun Rong, so the two rushed over and happened to meet Wu Song who escaped with Yun Rong.
Wu Song and Yun Rong followed the two members of the Jade Rabbit Sect to the Holy Land, and the shelling of the Golden Crow Sect continued at this time. However, the area where Wu Song is located has already been shelled, and the Jinwu Sect is now shelling other areas.
Walking along the road, you can see residents who have been killed by the bombing from time to time. Wu Song looked at the tragic situation in front of him and couldn't help but feel a sense of kin.
When the group arrived at the holy land, the leader of the Jade Rabbit Sect greeted them and said, "Brother Wu Song, I offended you a lot before, and I ask you not to remember the villain." I agreed to your deal, as long as you can repel the Golden Crow Sect and keep Storm City, I will release Miss Yunrong and let you go. ”
"Okay," Wu Song said, "in that case, then I'll do my best." ”
The flying ships of the Golden Crow Sect are in the sky, not to mention cities like Storm City without any defense facilities, even those fortress cities on the plains, I am afraid it is not easy to deal with such an enemy.
Because in the war of the Xuanwu realm, there has never been a big ship flying in the sky.
In the attack and defense of Moby Dick City, the pirates of the Wang family sent flying monsters to attack Moby Dick City. However, in the defenders of Moby Dick City, there are warriors like Feiguang who can fly, so they are not afraid of those flying monsters.
But now there are no flying warriors in Storm City, and there is no way to attack the enemy head-on.
After knowing that the Golden Crow Sect might attack Storm City with a flying ship, Wu Song had been thinking about how to arrange it if he wanted to defend Storm City.
After knowing that there were no defenses in Storm City, Wu Song once thought that Storm City could not be defended, and there was no other way but to retreat.
However, it wasn't until after he had a meal in Storm City that he suddenly discovered the other party's way of flying the big ship.
During that meal, the Jade Rabbit Sect brought out the local food of Storm City. Among them is a species of fish called cuttlefish. This fish is small and covered in spines, and when frightened, its body expands and a stream of ink erupts from its mouth.
The ink contains a slight toxin that spreads quickly in the water. This can obscure the enemy's vision, and secondly, it can paralyze the enemy with toxins.
The ink is stored in an ink sac, which needs to be removed before cooking the navel fish.
Cuttlefish is a very common fish in the local area, and the locals basically regard it as a staple food. When cleaning the cuttlefish, the excised ink sacs are piled up on top of each other and thrown away until a certain amount has accumulated.
Wu Song is very sensitive to drugs and toxins because of his practice of the Thousand Directions Sutra. Therefore, after eating, he picked up an ink sac and studied the ink inside.
