Chapter 45: The Verdict on Victory or Defeat
Originally, seeing the aura and equipment of Hao Yunzheng's 100 soldiers, everyone had a lot of confidence in Hao Yunzheng's 100 soldiers. But at this time, seeing that Hao Yunzheng's 100 soldiers were useless and directly surrounded, and there was no one among the 100 soldiers to lead the team as a leader, everyone only thought that Hao Yunzheng had no chance to win this game.
Similarly, among the 1,000 sergeants of You Ran Country at this time, there was no one to take the lead. The ones that could have played a leading role were all killed under Yan Chongtian's cleanup, and there was no one left. Therefore, at this time, Sergeant You Ranguo and Hao Yunzheng's 100 soldiers looked like stragglers, with no one to command. As soon as the battle began, it almost fell into a kind of chaos.
But is it really what everyone else thinks?
Of course not, Haoyunzheng's 100 soldiers seemed to be unled, but the overall appearance did not have the slightest panic. Seeing that he was surrounded, he stopped one by one, rode on his horse and scanned the surroundings, but he didn't make a sound.
Not far away, Du Qingfeng stood in front of the big drum, holding a drumstick, but he didn't beat it.
Du Qingfeng's eyes were staring at the soldiers of You Ran Country in the field, according to the information that Ye Lang had obtained from observing You Ran during this time, although Prince Taba was very confident in this gambling match on the surface, in fact, he still secretly prepared some back-up hands in case of accidents.
At this time, Du Qingfeng did not make a rash move, but let these hundred soldiers first use it as bait to rush into the encirclement of the enemy, so that the enemy army thought that there was an opportunity, so as to play a killer move. When the time comes, he will be able to find out the bottom of the enemy army, and he will be able to attack with peace of mind. After all, the unknown is the most terrifying, and both Hao Yunzheng and Du Qingfeng know this clearly.
Haoyun Zheng sat on the high platform leisurely, although the high platform at this time was already a little tattered because of the battle just now, but Haoyun Zheng didn't care about these at all.
Seeing Haoyun Zheng's appearance, King Muyun, who was still a little worried in his heart, also let go of his heart, and leaned on the throne leisurely, showing the demeanor of a generation of superiors.
Ye Lang, Yan Chongtian, and the three little Taoist priests were still surrounding the people of You Ran Country at this time, and they didn't care about the blood-soaked Prince Taba at all, obviously this big war was not over, and these people didn't want to leave.
Although Hao Yunzheng's eyes didn't seem to care, in fact, he was like Du Qingfeng before the big drum, always staring at the thousand soldiers of You Ran Country.
Although there was no one to command the 1,000 sergeants of this country at this time, they were all elites, who had been on the battlefield and experienced countless iron and blood, so they naturally knew how to cooperate with each other and what they should do in war.
Now seeing that Hao Yunzheng's hundred soldiers were completely surrounded, these soldiers of You Ran Kingdom were immediately overjoyed, and all of them reached into their arms in unison, and each took out a thunder bomb.
As soon as the thunder bomb was taken out, King Mu Yun, who was sitting on the high platform, suddenly changed his complexion, and secretly screamed in his heart.
Thunderfire bombs, which are powerful military weapons. A thunderbolt is powerful enough to destroy a thousand pounds of boulder. In the face of such power, not to mention the soldiers in the forging period, even the strong people in the Gang Qi period can only dodge.
Who would have thought that in order to win this battle with a bet, Prince Taba would directly take out thousands of thunder bombs. That's a lot of money. With thousands of thunder and fire bombs in hand, not to mention just dealing with a small hundred soldiers, even a city can be directly bombed.
However, unlike King Muyun's expression, when he saw You Ranguo's soldiers take out these thunder bombs, Hao Yunzheng's expression was relaxed, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of curvature, and he actually smiled.
"Great......" At the same time, Du Qingfeng, who was in front of the big drum, was also overjoyed, as if seeing these thunder bombs that could destroy the city turned out to be a good thing, not a bad thing.
Thinking like this in his heart, Du Qingfeng immediately waved the drumstick in his hand, and the internal force was poured into the drumstick, and he beat it on the drum at dusk.
"Knock ......"
The melodious drum sound spread all over the country, and the sound did not diminish in the slightest, and the momentum carried in it made everyone feel shocked.
As the first drum sounded, the second, third, fourth, and dozens of drums followed.
At the same time, under the sound of these drums, the hundred soldiers who were surrounded also heard the meaning and acted according to the orders of the thunder drums, but everything was ready in the blink of an eye.
The sons and daughters of the grassland are always the most strong, they are like tigers and wolves, and they know more or less about military affairs. As soon as they saw these hundred soldiers surrounded, all the sons of Muyun Kingdom secretly exclaimed in their hearts: "It's not good. ”
When the soldiers of Mu Yunguo saw this scene, their hands were also tightened, and they couldn't help but take a step forward one by one, knowing that it was not good.
Who is a soldier does not know that any big battle surrounded by enemy troops has almost lost eight floors. The only way is to rush, and in the end, a few can escape.
The families of these 100 soldiers stopped not far away to watch, and when they saw this scene, the families of these 100 soldiers were all nervous, worried about the pillars of their families and the lives of these 100 soldiers.
However, at the same time that the same thought flashed through everyone's hearts, the beating of drums sounded, and a hundred soldiers finally moved.
The drumstick in Du Qingfeng's hand sometimes struck on the drum surface of the thunder drum, making a "dong ......" sound. Sometimes it hits the edge of the thunder drum and makes a "......" sound.
Listening to this sound, it seems that there are only two different pronunciations, but in fact, each thunder drum represents a different rhythm, and there are more or less some differences in them, but others can't hear them, but the hundred soldiers can hear them clearly, so they make the same corresponding movements.
In everyone's worried gaze, the hundred soldiers under Hao Yunzheng made the same move, pulled the arrow crossbow, and aimed at the many soldiers of You Ran Kingdom at the same time.
When the last drum sounded, the victory was decided and the battle was decided.
"Knock ......"
The sound of the drums was like thunder in the nine heavens, and it came at dusk, and a hundred soldiers pulled the triggers of the arrows and crossbows in their hands at the same time.
A thousand enemy soldiers raised their grenades and fire bombs at the same time, and they were about to throw them at the 100 soldiers who were surrounded.
These thunder bombs, as long as they are dropped, will explode immediately. If you fall in the crowd of a hundred soldiers, there will be no bones left of these hundred soldiers, and the victory and defeat can be clearly distinguished.
It's just that as soon as their thunder fire bombs were raised, more than a hundred crossbow arrows had already been fired at them. Or rather, it would be more accurate to fire the lightning bombs in their hands.
The thunder bomb was about to leave his hand, and victory was at hand. Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air was heard, and before the 1,000 soldiers of the country could check what was going on, one after another crossbow arrows had already been shot at the thunder and fire bombs in their hands.
Those hundred soldiers were specially trained to shoot arrows and crossbows at a speed that was unimaginable. Three waves of arrows rained out in a row, as if they were being sent out at the same time.
There were a hundred arrows in one wave, and three hundred arrows in three waves. It wasn't enough to hit all the lightning bullets, but it was enough.
These arrows rained down in different areas, but they were not far apart, and they instantly shot three hundred fist-sized thunderbolts, showing the superb archery skills of these 100 soldiers, and at the same time ending the gambling game.
"Boom ......"
The first explosion sounded, and the earth trembled.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
The first explosion seemed to have a chain reaction, almost as soon as it fell, and then countless explosions were heard.
When a thunder bomb explodes, it will immediately spread within a radius of ten zhang, and within this ten zhang, anything will be completely destroyed. And in order to surround these 100 soldiers, the 1,000 soldiers of You Ran Country stood relatively densely, almost not giving these soldiers the slightest space to escape. This time, not only did they not stop the hundred soldiers of Hao Yunzheng, but they found their own death.
Almost a thunder bomb exploded, and more than a dozen soldiers from the surrounding country were killed. And the thunder bombs in the hands of these sergeants will also be completely detonated in the explosion. One after the other, the whole encirclement formed a huge chain.
The earth trembled, and the sound roared, making the eardrums hurt. The light from the explosion made people unable to open their eyes.
Whether it was Hao Yunzheng and Muyun King and others sitting on the high platform, or the herdsmen or soldiers of Muyun Country who were watching around, or Princess Luoyan and others who were standing in the crowd to observe, they were all a little stunned by this explosion.
The masters of You Ran Kingdom, who were surrounded, also turned pale one by one at this time, they knew that they had lost almost as soon as this gambling match began. At this time, the result came out, and they lost even worse, and there was almost no chance to go.
At the same time, among the crowd, there were seven mysterious people who were also observing all this.
These seven people were all dressed in Muyun Country costumes, and they looked no different from the people of Muyun Country. But if the masters get closer, they can feel the movement of the spiritual power of the heaven and earth around them, showing that they are at least above the innate stage of strength.
"The third master is really the third master, and he will always be extraordinary......"
"The third master is so powerful, no wonder Lord Zong Ling would say that he is one of the few people who can influence the rise and fall of the Celestial Empire. ”
"Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm. The third master who survived the blood spirit catastrophe was really unfathomable. ”
"This combat skill, in the past hundred years, who can do it except for the legendary soldier?"
"Sure enough, he is worthy of a generation of heroes, although he has only just survived the Blood Spirit Catastrophe, and his cultivation is not good, but he can already control the world. It is said that after surviving the Blood Spirit Catastrophe, cultivation is already a matter of course for people like him. If he really achieves supreme mystical skills in the future, the third master will be invincible in the world......"
Who are these seven people? Needless to say, it is the seven ambassadors sent by Ye Fan to Muyun Country.
Among the seven ambassadors, Du Tianhong, Du Yunchang and Lu Chengdan were all born in the imperial court, and they were naturally convinced by Haoyunzheng. At this time, seeing that Hao Yunzheng had made such a great power, they could only say one good word one by one, and their evaluation of Hao Yunzheng was already higher than that of their master.
Even, even Shen Ruyun, who was born in the rivers and lakes, Zhenqing Fang couldn't help but praise it. I've always heard about how powerful Hao Yunzheng is. But because Haoyun Zheng's cultivation is not high, he doesn't look down on Haoyun Zheng at all. Now seeing that Hao Yunzheng can really use a hundred soldiers to destroy a thousand soldiers almost by the chance of meeting, they all have only one thought in their hearts, that is, the third master is really as unfathomable as the legend. Therefore, the two couldn't help but praise Lu Chengdan and the others.
Their praise was completely out of their hearts, not the slightest bit pretentious, and they were obviously convinced by Haoyun Zheng.
Only Chen Tianbao and Hei Fan looked at all this indifferently and didn't say a word. There was not the slightest expression on the faces of the two, showing the depth of the two.
