Chapter 11: Rain of Arrows

Zhuo Hua hurriedly comforted: "Why did the old palace master say this! You have worked hard for the Cloud Palace all your life, how can you say that you are unworthy? The previous things have passed, and no one will hold on to them, let alone the entire Xuanwu Palace!"

"Then why are the other three palaces assigned errands, but not the Xuanwu Palace?" Doumu Hedgehog did not raise his head, still looking low and pleasing to the eye, but the white beard that hung down was obviously trembling.

Zhuo Hua suddenly realized, let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "So this is the case!

He came to the bottom of the dome, pointed to the armillary sphere above his head and said to Dou Mu Ji: "The task of your Xuanwu Palace is naturally to keep an eye on the group of dark thieves attached to the Void Realm Cloud, and you must also pay attention to the operation of this light curtain array all the time. These two things are the most important! It can be said that compared to these two things, which of theirs can only be regarded as trivial!"

Doumu Jiji and Zhan had spoken, listened carefully, and then said: "Since Yuanjun said so, the old minister is also relieved." The old minister will do his best to live up to the trust of the Yuanjun. Then he gave a salute and took his leave.

Compared with the people in the Cloud Palace, who were completely nervous, the officers and soldiers of the Secret Expeditionary Fleet seemed more leisurely.

They methodically loaded huge crossbow arrows with a mixture of warp powder and the blood of the movers on top of the ballistas more than a foot wide.

The three hundred warships of the vanguard fleet were equipped with more than 600 huge crossbows, and the crossbow strings of the thickness of an adult's thigh could send the crossbow arrows the thickness of an arm and a foot long a thousand paces away. After hitting the target, when Jing Jue's powder collides violently with the blood mixture of the mountain mover, a powerful explosion will occur.

A sturdy warship as large as a Dragon's Tooth warship will completely disintegrate into nothingness after three explosions in a row.

Each ballista is equipped with a striker, a loader, and a supplyman. These three people are a team, and the three teams are a crossbow regiment, with a regiment leader. During the battle, the regiment commander commanded the three combat squads to attack the enemy according to the situation on the battlefield.

It takes a lot of force to pull such a thick crossbow string, and the craftsmen of the Dark Clan designed a rocker at the end of the ballista, and the loader first shook the joystick, so that the slider connected to the joystick drove the hook to pull the thick crossbow string to the position to be fired. Then he took the explosive arrow handed by the supplyman and loaded it into the smoothbore of the ballista.

According to the instructions of the regimental commander, the striker will hit the end of the ballista with a sledgehammer after aiming, and the hook that hooks the crossbow string will be loosened, and the sharp arrow will whizz towards the target.

An officer in a bright red military uniform ran into the captain's room, and after saluting a military salute, he said: "Lord Qiqi Changshi, all the ballistas have been loaded, and the artillery regiment has entered a state of standby, please instruct." ”

Lan Ling, who was wearing half a bronze mask, moved his eyebrows, turned his head and asked the Heavenly Wind General Dusk Bird, "General, please give the order!"

Twilight Bird is naturally an understanding person, and he has always been courteous to the prison army appointed by the emperor in front of him. He smiled and said: "Changshi is responsible for supervising the army, and he is on behalf of the emperor to come to the battlefield in person, so it should be Changshi who gives the order to attack." I hope that Chang Shimo will shirk it again. ”

Lan Ling smiled and nodded at him, then turned his face and said to the captain: "Pass the order, the port side of the fleet will start, a squad of three arrows, and stop after three rounds." ”

The lieutenant silently recited the order in his heart, reached out and took one of the order arrows handed to him by Lan Ling, and then went down to deliver the order.

After a while, Lanling's flagship swayed and turned, aiming the left side of the ship in the direction of the Yuanxiang Void.

After three breaths, the first round of sword rain bathed in the sunlight and flew straight in the direction of Yuan Xiangjin.

In the void where there was no breath to slow down the speed, one after another crossbow arrows hit the light curtain after three breaths, and then a huge explosion occurred, and the blue flames burst out more than ten years high, and the light painted the entire fleet with a layer of blue coat.

After the first round of attacks, the colorless and phaseless light curtain stirred up circles of ripples on its smooth surface, like a calm lake, suddenly thrown into countless small stones, causing many ripples.

Before the ripples in this circle had subsided, the second and third rounds of attacks poured over in one go, and until the end of the ninth round of attacks, there was no change on the light curtain except for the ripples in circles.

After a while, the captain ran in again, clasped his fists and arched his hands: "General Qiyu, long history." The three rounds of strikes have been completed, do you want to continue the attack?"

"No, it would be useless to run out of ammunition for the entire fleet. Lan Ling sat down with a blank face, put his hands behind his head and said.

"Why don't you keep attacking, maybe we'll be able to blast that turtle shell open in the next few rounds!" said Twilight Bird, pointing in Kim's direction.

"Impossible! I said I can't open it, I can't open it! Why waste time and ammunition?" Lan Ling stood up with a snort and shouted to the twilight bird.

"Changshi, it took us so many years, three leaps, and an amazing essence to get to this ghost place, and after we came, we only put a few arrows before stopping the attack. When it reaches the ears of the Emperor, I'm afraid it will make the Emperor laugh at our incompetence!"

Twilight Bird changed his words, squinted his eyes at Lan Ling and said: "Could it be that Changshi has returned to his hometown today, remembering the old, and he can't do it! It's okay, I understand these! Who hasn't been homesick! If Changshi can't do it, I will be this wicked person." ”

He threw an arrow to the herald lieutenant, and said, "Go, the commander of the herald, all the ballistae on the port side will be replaced by the starboard ballista after three rounds of fire." Give me all the ammunition, I don't believe it, I can't crack this turtle shell. ”

As soon as the herald wanted to turn around, he saw Lan Ling leap in front of him, and before the captain could react, he snatched back the arrow in his hand and threw it on the ground.

"Don't go too far!" said Twilight Bird as he stretched out his finger to Lan Ling, his fingers trembling.

Lan Ling didn't look at him either, and came to him step by step, and at a distance almost face to face, Lan Ling stopped. She whispered to Twilight, "At first, I had a good heart and asked for your opinion. Now, my heart is bad, if you take yourself seriously again, don't blame me for not taking your brothers seriously!"

Twilight's trembling just now is the cause

For anger, and now trembling because of fear. He knew the methods of the woman in front of him, and more than once he had heard the generals of the army talk about her cruelty during the previous years of foreign conquests.

What means will brutal people use to torture their brothers and sisters when they are talked about by a group of brutal killing machines?Twilight Bird trembled like chaff when he thought about it.

Twilight Bird slowly took a step back, squeezed out an ugly smile with both hands, and said, "What did Changshi say! ”

Then he yelled at the herald captain with a black face: "What are you doing here? Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Changshi say stop attacking? Get out of here!"

The lieutenant immediately shrunk his neck and retreated.

Seeing that the captain had already left, Twilight Bird coughed a few times, and then carefully asked Lan Ling, who was sitting in the captain's position, with his eyes closed, "May I ask Changshi, since we can't break through head-on, what should we do next?"

Lanling snorted, and only said one word, "Wait"!

Twilight was confused by this word, these tens of thousands of people came all the way from the dark void, just to wait here? But what are you waiting for? She didn't say anything, she wanted to ask, opened her mouth and swallowed the question again.

He felt that he should not have promised the emperor to be the commander of this fleet, and the title of the great general only sounded good, but he couldn't get any ideas!

It is impossible to clash head-on with Lanling, she knows that she is not her opponent, but she can't swallow this breath anymore.

"Don't be complacent, wait until you return to the Dark Void, you will look good! I will make you desperate for life, for death!" said Twilight Bird viciously.

What Lan Ling was waiting for was the Horcruxes that she had planted in the Cloud Palace before she left the Cloud Palace. When he led part of the vanguard army to Zhu Yuanshen before, he taught the method of using the Horcrux to the mountain martyr, especially the fish that he released with his own hands is still not in the Cloud Palace, if it is, will it be found by Neiying.

Of course, she is still waiting for one thing, that is, a large number of Jingjue brought by the follow-up troops. These Jing Jue are the essence of the many Void Gold that this expeditionary fleet has destroyed along the way.

Lanling is ready to use this huge energy to do a big thing.

For Lanling's internal response in the Cloud Palace, Su Mengling's sons did not have a good time. Since the news of the Dark Fleet's approach to the Void spread throughout the Cloud Palace, she found that she couldn't go anywhere, and any place where she suspected that she had hidden Horcruxes now had heavy guards, and if she got closer, she would be politely invited out by the guards.

Originally, they wanted to secretly get some help from the Red Flame Valley through the sound transmission magic device given by the mountain corpse, but they were told that their son was not having a good time, and the scouts of the Eagle Clan were now searching around them all day long, so scared that they could only go out by day and night.

If you can't find the Horcruxes and can't put the Dark Fleet in, then your revenge plan will be frustrated.

"Where the hell are you, my fairy, where did you put those treasures?" Su Mengling shouted as she raised her head and looked at the sky in the distance.
