Chapter 299: Secret Weapon, Coming and Going
As the tide of the battle changed, the reaction of all parties was mediocre. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is more with the mentality of watching a play, to treat this battle.
Only Mu Zidu in Yangzhou moved the real character this time, not to mention anything else. This time it was not only for the Divine Soldier Villa to relieve the siege, but also the existence of hundreds of thousands of troops in Huainan was too great a threat to him. If it was the Huainan Army before, although it was huge in his eyes, it was all a rabble. If they break through Wuxing City and get the foundation of the Divine Soldier Villa, then the future will definitely be a disaster for himself. And since the other party can take Wuxing City, where the Divine Soldier Villa is located, then the next target is of course the closest self, as the so-called cold lips and teeth, in order to avoid this situation, Mu Zidu has no choice.
He immediately ordered the recall of his two foolish godsons, and gathered an army of 100,000 to prepare to launch an offensive against the Huainan Army at any time.
However, the feeling shown by the Lingnan Song family, the original hardcore ally of Shenbing Villa, at this time was very ambiguous with Buddhism. Not to mention anything else, first of all, Fan Qinghui, the lord of Cihang Jingzhai, secretly visited Song Que in the Knife Grinding Hall, so that Song Que could not express his position in the face of her existence for a while. And Song Zhi, the acting head of the Song family, was also silent at this time because his eldest brother did not speak out.
As for the Daomen, at this time, there are some distant waters that can't save the near fire, and there are even masters of Buddhism who go to contain them.
Therefore, at this moment, the situation of the Divine Soldier Villa is very dangerous, in order to avoid more unexpected factors, He Xuewu has to use his secret killer ballista. This is a big killing weapon transformed by He Xuewu based on the experience of the previous two lives and using the existing resources of the Divine Soldier Villa. The principle is also quite simple, that is, the spear-like arrows fired from the giant bed crossbow are tied to the explosives pack. Leave a long lead, time the ignition, fire it out and then explode, this is more powerful than modern rocket artillery.
Of course, in order to increase the lethality of the ballista, the perimeter of the gunpowder was covered with a layer of iron sand. With the explosion of gunpowder, this scattered iron sand can make the surrounding people lose their combat effectiveness.
There are hundreds of such ballistae in this Wuxing City, although the speed of fire is slow, but the intimidating power of this ancient war is far superior to all tactics. As the so-called soldiers surrender without a fight, this is the best policy.
As a result, the 180,000-strong Huainan army launched an attack on Wuxingcheng from all directions. And with the order of He Xuewu on the city tower, the drums sounded three times, and hundreds of arrows with the smell of gunpowder were fired at the oncoming Huainan army. The increased amount of black powder was accompanied by waves of dense arrow rain, which sounded like thunder. Some of them fell to the ground and exploded, and the smoke and scattered iron sand exploded in succession. Thousands, those Huainan troops gathered together densely became targets one after another. For a moment, black smoke rose, screams, wails, and loud noises.
"Run, they use sorcery and attract demons and monsters. My thigh has been eaten by demons and monsters, who will save me? "With the howl of some timid rats and cranky people. The Huainan army, which was originally high in momentum and was ready to win with crowd tactics, was suddenly in chaos. In fact, these 180,000 horses suffered no more than a few thousand casualties in the explosions and rain of arrows, and more were trampled and killed by their companions in this great escape.
Before He Xuewu ordered the second wave of ballistas to be fired, the 180,000 Huainan troops outside the city were running out of urine.
Even Du Fuwei, who was on the field, was fainted by the smoke from an arrow that exploded beside him, and when he was rescued by everyone, he found that he had only suffered some skin injuries and external injuries.
"Holy Maiden, you have to figure out this problem. After all, this Dao Qi Men Dun Jia, the ability to summon the wind and rain, we ordinary people have no way to deal with it. Du Fuwei attributed all this to the Daomen.
"This, this is also the first time I have encountered it, I have already passed the book to my master, I hope that her side should be able to deal with these evil ways." Shi Fei Xuan also said with some confidence.
"Many of your Buddhists pay attention to the universality of people, and the Buddha's power is immeasurable, why is there no way to do it today? If we hadn't evacuated quickly today, it is estimated that all the troops would have been wiped out. I don't want my hundreds of thousands of brothers to die here in vain. The military advisor next to Du Fuwei on the side asked the concubine.
"Okay, how are today's casualties?" Du Fuwei was quite sensible, and knew that now was definitely not the time to turn against Buddhism, so he changed the topic and asked about the casualties.
"Six thousand brothers were lost, and more than 20,000 were wounded." The man who looked like a military advisor reported truthfully to Du Fuwei.
When Du Fuwei heard this, the casualties were still within the acceptable range. After all, he has hundreds of thousands of Huainan troops, and this casualty is nothing to him.
Instead, it was the senior concubine who spoke: "The current situation is complicated, it is estimated that this is a formation or something like that placed by the Daomen." All formations are fixed in one place and cannot be moved, which means that as long as we do not attack the city, then this formation will not be activated. ”
"But we can't just spend it here, you must know that staying here for one more day, our hundreds of thousands of brothers consume astronomical materials a day, if we stay for a few more months, we don't need them to fight, we will collapse first." The character of this military advisor has a little bit of insight, but what he says is straight to the point.
"Rest assured, since we can be sure, if we don't attack, the other party will not come to fight back against us. So the most important thing at the moment is to see how to break the formation. Shi Feixuan said with confidence, after all, she can only stabilize people's hearts like this now, it is better if Du Fuwei stops, then the previous investment will be wasted.
"Since the holy woman said so, then everything is please, pass on the order, let the brothers calm down and cultivate for a few days, and after the holy woman from Cihang Jingzhai breaks this evil array, we will take this Wuxing City in one fell swoop." Du Fuwei used the name of Cihang Jingzhai to persuade the frightened brothers. After all, most of them were farmers who could only carry hoes to the fields before, and they believed in Buddhism that had been promoting the purity of all sentient beings. Now that the supreme leader of Buddhism, Cihang Jingzhai, has come forward, it is just right to calm people's hearts.
But even so, no one thought that among them, the spies sent out by the Divine Soldier Villa had already been infiltrated, and they would certainly not forget to fan the flames when they had this great opportunity. So although the Huainan army looks calm on the surface, it is actually already a turbulent undertide. (To be continued.) )
