Chapter 329: Su Su is unhappy, and the consequences are serious
As soon as he entered the gate of the fortress, Li Qing leaned his back against the base of the city wall, sat down on the ground, and his whole body was so tired that he didn't even want to move.
He was so tired, not only tired, but starved to death. But tiredness is the first place after all, and now he just wants to sleep well, even if the food is put in front of him, he doesn't bother to move his teeth.
But before he could sleep, he was kicked in the ass.
That kick was also weak, and it was clear that the person who kicked him in the ass was just as tired.
"Don't sleep, take the time to meditate." Chu Lingfeng's voice came into Li Qing's ears: "True Qi is empty, and in a state of extreme exhaustion, the effect of cultivation is the best. The recovery speed of true qi will be accelerated, the total amount of true qi will be increased, and even the quality will be a little purer. Don't waste a good opportunity. ”
The mountain fortress has not yet opened the transcendent forbidden area, and the aura of heaven and earth has not been excluded from the elbow, and it can still be cultivated and cast spells here. However, with Susu in charge here, the Amaterasu Army did not rush to send a spellcaster. In the large array of 10,000 people at the foot of the mountain, which was slowly advancing towards the mountain, there were only warriors, no mages, priests, and even battle priests.
Hearing Chu Lingfeng say this, Li Qing, who didn't even want to move his eyelids, immediately squeezed out the last bit of energy in his body, struggled to sit cross-legged, and began to meditate.
Chu Lingfeng confessed to the little dragon girl: "Help us protect the Fa." After that, he sat down next to Li Qing and meditated.
She was actually very tired, but she was still slightly better than Li Qing. After all, after Li Qing's Nightmare Demon Body ends, it will weaken all attributes by fifty percent, and it will last for up to three hours. Chu Lingfeng, on the other hand, did not have this negative state.
Between the eyebrows of the little dragon girl, she also showed fatigue.
After receiving the letter for help last night, she immediately sent a letter to Yue Shanjun, the governor of the East China Sea Fleet, and after Yue Shanjun confirmed the accuracy of the news and agreed to send troops, she prepared to send troops overnight.
Sending troops is not child's play, but it cannot be solved by a simple "departure". Ships, personnel, equipment, food and grass, and so on, must be arranged properly and without the slightest mistake. The little dragon girl was busy all night plus a morning, and there was no time to rest until the fleet departed.
And after the detachment fleet and the main fleet converged, Xiaolongnu immediately obtained the consent of the fleet governor and teleported to Zhongshan Island.
Just came over, and before she could catch her breath, she saw that the battle on Li Qing's side was urgent, and she immediately rode down the mountain and entered the battlefield. After that, there was a series of battles, and it was only now that I finally had a little free time.
Rao is her strength is strong, and she has been so busy and fierce from last night to today, and she is already a little tired at this time. It's just that the state is much better than Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng. If she continued to fight, she would be able to fight for another hour or two, and of course there would be no problem in protecting Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng.
An imperial soldier brought a big chair to the little dragon girl, and the little dragon girl sat down opposite Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, holding the thunder green dragon halberd and closing her eyes to recuperate. Although her eyes were closed, she could already feel that it had already diffused out, monitoring all the movements around her, so as not to disturb Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng's cultivation by any accident.
Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan also came over, standing on both sides of Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, who were sitting side by side, one on the left and one on the right, consciously protecting the Dharma for them.
The two of them only participated in the reception battle after Li Qing and others broke through, as well as the counterattack battle after the most reluctance. If it is a veteran and has the same strength as the two of them, then he must still be full of energy at this time, and his physical strength will have a large surplus.
But Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan are rookies after all. Even if Scarlett later awakened her fighting instinct and left everything to her instinct, she had already consumed a lot of physical strength in the extreme tension of the previous charge. Although Ni Yuanyuan was not as nervous as Scarlett, she was too excited, and excessive excitement was also prone to a large amount of extra physical strength.
Therefore, the physical strength of the two rookies on the battlefield at this time was also very small, and standing next to Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, they were just putting on a show and making a show. If someone really interferes, they won't be able to do much of a difference.
While standing here to set up a situation, Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan did not waste time. Scarlett uses druid meditation to absorb the vitality of natural energy and slowly restore physical energy. Ni Yuanyuan used the cultivation techniques of the bloodline magician, exhaling in a special rhythm, absorbing the heaven and earth aura that matched her bloodline attributes, and recovering the physical strength and energy consumed.
None of the five spoke, and they all hurried to recover. Su Su sat on the artillery fort, silently observing the Amaterasu army formation that was advancing towards the mountain. Song Qiqi stood behind her, her head held high, just like a loyal guard.
The advance of the Amaterasu Army, although slow, was unusually calm.
The army of 10,000 was divided into ten phalanxes and spread out at the foot of the mountain, advancing upwards from all directions. In front of each thousand-man phalanx, there was a team of sappers who opened the way. The swift movement cleared all obstacles in the way of the army's advance, whether it was stones, trenches, or natural ravines, all of which were cleared by the sappers clean and flat. As a result, the Amaterasu army was in a chaotic formation and moved forward steadily.
After reaching the halfway point of the mountain, the Amaterasu's sappers smashed the boulders, dug up the slopes, laid gravel and earth, and made a large flat ground halfway up the mountainside to build an advance position.
It took less than an hour to build a forward position large enough to accommodate an army of 10,000 men. During this hour, Susu repeatedly ordered the fortress to launch an artillery bombardment, but the effect was not noticeable.
In front of a strict army that was ready for battle and had all the officers, it was difficult to achieve much success with a salvo of more than 100 artillery pieces.
Especially in this army, there are ten pillar country-level powerhouses and more than a hundred gold-level powerhouses. The more than 100 gold-level powerhouses alone only need to be responsible for one cannon each, which is enough to make more than 100 cannons useless and unable to interfere with the advance of the Amaterasu Army.
A normal army of 10,000 people would never be equipped with such a large number of strong men.
With the national strength of Amaterasu Province, an army of 10,000 people, with forty or fifty silver-level officers and two or three gold-level officers, is already quite an elite main army.
But this Amaterasu Army is different. In this army, there are more than 100 silver-level officers, and there are as many as 1,000 bronze-level officers. Obviously, it is a super elite army that is specially drawn from many legions and organized.
The more than 100 gold-level powerhouses and the ten pillar country powerhouses were obviously also used in a concentrated manner from many aspects.
It can be seen from this that Amaterasu, or the Holy Light Alliance, has indeed prepared for this battle for a long time and has paid a lot. Its determination to occupy Zhongshan Island and enter Yingzhou can be seen from this.
It's a pity that the Amaterasu army was unfavorable, and he ran into a hard nail on Zhongshan Island, which he thought he could take quickly.
It took more than half a day to take a port base, and it also cost more than 4,000 casualties among the officers and soldiers of Tianzhao, as well as the sacrifices of five mages and eleven knights with silver shields.
The casualties of more than 4,000 Tianzhao troops are nothing. Even if the elite is deliberately selected, the ratio of silver-level officers to soldiers has reached 1:10, and the ratio of bronze-level officers to soldiers has reached 1:10, and the servant army is always only a servant army. No matter how elite they are, the upper echelons of the Holy Light Alliance will not blink an eye.
But the deaths of five mages, eleven Silver Shield Knights, and especially the death of Kyelheimer, the deputy head of the Silver Shield Knights, were enough to make the people from the Holy Light Alliance furious.
Su Su saw that in the more than 1,000 Tianzhao soldiers who retreated, all the remaining officers were singled out and beheaded in public in front of the battle. After killing all the officers, among the remaining soldiers, hundreds of them were also drawn out of ten and beheaded in front of the battle.
The remaining 900 or so people were all ordered by the officers to take off their armor and wear only cloth clothes, and then each received a shield and an explosives bag.
"Meat Bullet Charge?" A smile appeared in Su Su's eyes: "It is worthy of being Japan's mirror country, and Amaterasu's method is exactly the same as that of a devil!" ”
The actions made by the Amaterasu Army were carried out in the forward position on the mountainside, and the distance was not far, and with Song Qiqi's relatively weak strength, they could also see it clearly.
At first, she didn't understand what the Amaterasu soldiers who had been stripped of their armor and weapons were receiving what looked like a package. It wasn't until she heard Su Su say this that Song Qiqi suddenly realized: "It's an explosives bag!" ”
Then she became a little nervous: "Susu, are those people going to charge with explosives bags?" There are too many of them, rushing over together, I'm afraid they can't stop it! ”
Su Su chuckled and said, "Don't worry, those gunpowder packs, although they are a little larger, are just ordinary black powder inside, and their power is limited, and they can't blow up the city wall." The outer walls were all ten meters thick pure stone walls, and they had to make a big hole in the wall and gather all the explosives packs together to destroy a section of the wall. ”
Song Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. Su Su obviously wouldn't give Amaterasu a chance to make holes in the wall and stack explosives packets in a centralized manner. If it was just a sporadic detonation, even if those Amaterasu death squads were allowed to rush under the city wall and let them blow it up, they would not want to blow up the city wall.
As for the several city gates, after Li Qing and others entered the city, they put down the iron gates of 10,000 catties. The inside of the doorway was also quickly filled with stone sandbags that had been prepared long ago. Even if the Amaterasu death squad came to blow up the city gate, it would not be able to blow it up.
The city gate was completely sealed, but it would not prevent the city army from going out of the city to counterattack. In fact, sealing the city gates would have made it difficult to stop the Amaterasu Army's attack. With a strength above the level of bronze, you can directly jump to the top of the city ten meters high. Even if ordinary soldiers don't use ladders and other climbing tools, they can quickly climb the city just by taking a ladder.
Of course, this is not to say that the existence of the city walls is meaningless.
In fact, if there are enough troops, the role of the city wall is quite significant.
Even if the bronze officers can jump on the top of the city, when they jump, when they have nowhere to borrow their strength in the air, they are very good live targets. Two or three ordinary soldiers working together can take out a reckless and jumping junior officer. And ordinary soldiers who want to enter the city, whether they climb the ladder or take the ladder, they have to pay a great price.
The reason why the port fortress abandoned the outer wall defense was that the troops were seriously insufficient, and the second was that it was exposed to the artillery fire of the Amaterasu fleet, and the defense of the upper castle could only be used as a target by the Amaterasu fleet.
The situation of the hilltop fortress is different from that of the port fortress. The hilltop fortress is slightly smaller, and the outer walls do not need to be defended too much. The naval guns of the Amaterasu fleet are not so large in elevation and cannot hit the mountains, so they cannot provide artillery support to the Amaterasu army.
And although the Amaterasu Army also brought artillery, they attacked from the bottom up, and they would not be the opponent of the Imperial Army in the case of artillery battles.
The only problem is that there are too many strong men in the Amaterasu army. If these strong men did not participate in the siege at the beginning, but were responsible for protecting the artillery positions, then the Imperial Army would not have been able to take advantage of the artillery battle even if it had the advantage of the terrain.
Just when Su Su was thinking silently, the more than 900 Tianzhao Army death squads had already completed their preparations for the charge. An officer gave a sharp order, and the Amaterasu, who had managed to escape more than 900 years ago, rushed towards the hilltop fortress with explosives bags and shields on their backs.
Su Su looked up at the sky, the sun was already setting in the west, the time was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost six o'clock. And looking at the position of the Amaterasu Army, the forward position is ready, and the artillery position is almost complete, it should be ready to attack the city overnight.
"I can't sleep again tonight." Looking at the sun slanting to the west, Su Su thought gloomily: "I didn't do breast enhancement exercises last night, and it seems that I won't have a chance tonight." Alas, damn Amaterasu......"
Su Su, who was not in a good mood, decided to make a grand fireworks and watch the fireworks to soothe his mood.
So she snapped her fingers.
With this snap of the fingers, the invisible regular lines quietly pulled, and the fire elements that were free in the air converged silently, accurately attached to the end of the explosive pack lead on the backs of the Amaterasu daredevils, and none of the more than 900 explosive packs missed, and the end of each explosive pack lead began to gather fire elements.
Although the fire element induced by Su Su is large in scale and accurate in landing, the total amount is not large. The energy concentration of the fire elements gathered on the lead of each explosive pack has not yet reached the level of a level 0 trick, and at most one cigarette can be lit.
Of course, the lead can also be ignited.
So, when the explosives pack leads on the backs of the daredevils all burst into flames, Hopkins, who was in charge of containing Susu on the Amaterasu and preparing to intercept her legendary magic, realized what Susu had done.
"That damn woman!" Hopkins's forehead twitched, and his face turned pale, "Actually playing this trick!" ”
Unfortunately, no matter how angry Hopkins is, he can't do anything that can turn the tide. Although Su Su's aura is not particularly powerful, she is only a legend beginner, but her understanding of the rules is too profound, like the kind of snap of her fingers, at the same time to ignite more than 900 explosive packs with different distribution points, such precise control, Hopkins is simply unheard of.
This kind of control is beyond Hopkins's imagination. In his heart, he even involuntarily had a thought that he thought was extremely ridiculous, and even made him secretly frightened: "Perhaps, only the true god can have such terrifying precise control......"
This idea, in Hopkins's view, is extremely absurd. But in fact, he was still a little too conservative. Su Su's ability, where can the true God compare? She was once above the true gods, and she was like a super god powerhouse slaughtering a dog!
Rumble!
A loud explosion interrupted the horror that had quietly bred in Hopkins' heart. He looked up at the hillside, where a brilliant flame was rising against a thick black cloud.
What followed was a succession of explosions. On the hillside, dazzling flames erupted, thick black smoke rose, and countless earth and rocks rose into the sky, spreading and falling, like a black rainstorm.
What a fireworks!
