Chapter 0405: Giant Tortoise
Compared with later generations, the scale of the capital in the Ming Dynasty was not large, or even pitiful. However, Zhou Qingfeng came here with his troops on a trip, and it was really unpleasant not to go and see it with his own eyes. He carried out movement warfare, raid warfare, and destroyed the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule. There's nothing more pleasant than flaunting your might outside the center of enemy domination.
The officers and men of the northward detachment blew up the Tongzhou city wall, and then set off to the northwest overnight, directly attacking the Chaoyang Gate of the capital. Under the faint morning light of the next day, more than 1,000 people from the northbound detachment, including Zhou Qingfeng, saw the head of the Ming Empire for the first time. But this did not prevent a team of earth buns from looking at the ancient city with the excited eyes of the victors.
"This is the capital, and the emperor lives in it."
"This city is really big, and the walls are big."
"If my father knew that his son would come to the capital one day, I was afraid that he would not dare to think about it."
"Dashuai, let's blow up the gates of the capital as well. Let the emperor sleep uneasy. ”
Bombing the walls has become a favorite tactic of the Guards. This kind of extremely destructive and deterrent behavior can fully demonstrate the strength and invincibility of the 'revolutionary army'. Naturally, the soldiers of the 'revolutionary army' who wielded this kind of power felt more confident and eager to try.
"Bomb the walls of the capital?" Zhou Qingfeng rode on the back of the giant wolf and laughed, "It's not easy." The walls of Beijing are not only more than 10 meters high, but also more than 20 meters thick. The amount of explosives we carry with us is limited, and we will almost run out of explosives when we blow up Tongzhou, but we can't blow it up. But as long as we are here, it will be enough to make the emperor in the palace unable to sleep. ”
Under the gaze of the eye of the sky, the entire capital radiates a thousand feet of light, and the rui qi is overflowing. The light that symbolizes the imperial power rises to the sky and envelops the entire city. As Zhou Qingfeng's identity as a thief, a distance of one thousand meters close to Chaoyang Gate was suppressed, and the operation of spiritual power was extremely condensed.
"Let's go around the capital, what Changping, Miyun, Zunhua, Shunyi, let's go for a walk." Zhou Qingfeng casually said a few place names that he was slightly familiar with, urging 'Dog Meat' to leave.
The same troops marched overnight, but compared with the tired Juniper Division, which was following closely behind, the northward detachment accompanied by a large number of four-wheeled carriages had better logistical support. The act of coercing the capital made the morale of the officers and men even higher and their spirits refreshed. Everyone is an eye-opener, and they are no longer bitter in the countryside of Liaodong, they want to follow the handsome man to the world for the rest of their lives.
Zhou Qingfeng opened the map, still trying to find a village of the right size to rest. He decided to lead his team to a royal village twenty miles north to fight the autumn wind, but after walking less than five miles, there came the pursuers—the pursuers were heavy and shook the earth, and rolled up billowing smoke and dust along the way.
Those who can participate in the northward detachment are the elite of the elite under Zhou Qingfeng. Without much of his command, more than a thousand people immediately formed three hollow phalanxes dominated by muskets and spears. Under the military array link, Zhou Qingfeng only needs to link dozens of officers, and the officers will form a small-scale military formation to control the 1,000 people of the detachment.
This method of manipulating the military formation reduces the load on Zhou Qingfeng's brain, and allows him to control as many personnel as possible, but the disadvantage is that he needs enough excellent officers. These officers need to be knowledgeable, educated, awaken to the true element, and choose the path of the divine soul. Only the 'revolutionary army' can do this.
The three hollow phalanxes covered each other in a zigzag shape, with Zhou Qingfeng sitting in the center. The number of chasing soldiers who attacked was only one person, but his cultivation was extremely high. It was a relic, and in the eyes of heaven it was a huge snake-headed giant tortoise.
"The bold thief chieftain dares to disturb the true dragon. You must not be let go today. "The Snake-headed Giant Tortoise revealed its prototype, large enough to occupy half a football field, wrapped in gloomy black air, and flew in a volley of threat. Road rage' is a reptilian existence compared to it.
Seeing that this old turtle stepped forward, and his might was incomparable, Zhou Qingfeng immediately reached out and took out a cloth flag. This cloth banner swelled in the wind, and it was more than a zhang high in an instant. He held the cloth banner and shouted in a low voice: "Fengyun." ”
This is the 'Fengyun Flag' given by Guo Jiao to Zhou Qingfeng, and the materials used are treasures that have been cultivated for more than 200 years. This thing was originally intended for him to sail on the sea, but after Wen Ruolan mastered the basic rules of spiritual power operation, she improved this cloth banner and used it to gather the power of the military array, which could break through the limit of the ninth-level spell.
The single fight relies on the 'road rage', and the military duel relies on the 'Fengyun Banner', this thing is Zhou Qingfeng's killer weapon. Seeing that this giant turtle old monster was fierce and difficult to match, he immediately invoked this magic weapon.
The wind and clouds are rising, and the dragon is roaring and the tiger is roaring.
The three hollow phalanxes immediately joined into one, and a layer of golden mist suddenly appeared, and a roar of 'fire' sounded in the mist.
The snake-headed giant tortoise collided with it in a breath, intending to break through the military formation with its huge size and thick tortoise shell, and directly kill Zhou Qingfeng. But when the two sides collided, they were shocked by each other.
Zhou Qingfeng presided over the formation, and the impact of the giant turtle was borne by him first. Even though he had mobilized thousands of invokers to share the burden, the amount of damage that could be transmitted exceeded the threshold he could withstand and decompose in an instant. He immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest, his head buzzed, and his mouth and nose were bleeding.
The giant tortoise outside thought that he could crush this strange military formation with his own size, but at the moment of impact, he was subjected to a violent electric shock of golden mist. The cobweb-like electricity defied the spread of defenses, and the electricity made its body numb.
The force of the impact was completely borne by Zhou Qingfeng and his prayers, and the thousand people in the army immediately returned fire. Three hundred arquebuses fired a critical salvo, and each projectile was given armor-piercing power by the 'Wind and Cloud Banner', and all of them were densely bombarded on the neck of the snake raised by the old turtle.
In the middle of the formation, all the arquebuses were aimed at a point, just under the long neck of the snake-headed giant tortoise. There was a lack of tortoiseshell protection and was covered with only hundreds of golden scales. 300 rounds of fiery lead bullets were fired, causing him to suffer painful injuries immediately. With the cultivation of the old turtle that has lived for thousands of years, the spiritual power of the body protection has not been able to withstand such a critical blow. A few scales flew away, and the real Xuanwu man in pain screamed in pain.
The snake-headed giant turtle craned its neck and roared, followed by its large mouth and a gloomy black drowning erupted. This stream of water has an extremely strong corrosive effect, and it also has a strong impact potential energy, and the damage of two different attributes is loaded on this storm array.
Zhou Qingfeng was already bleeding from his mouth and nose by the impact of the giant tortoise, and his mother came to corrode and attack again. He was covered in black air, his eyes were blind, his skin was like ten thousand steel needles pierced, and he screamed in pain. Such attacks are like torture and cannot be tolerated.
In this fight, the two sides used the finale trick, which was clearly to kill each other.
Zhou Qingfeng's pain was really unbearable, so he simply threw the 'Fengyun Banner' to Ye Na next to him for control. He himself jumped out of the big formation, summoned the possession of 'Road Rage' in the air, and in mid-air, he took out a double-barreled pistol and aimed at the snake-headed head on the opposite side and blasted it over.
Despite being a breech loader, the Ködringer pistol is known for its great power.
Two gunshots rang out, and the thick projectile hit the snake's head and giant ** skin. Its scalp is so hard that it can be used to ram enemies like a battering ram. But after two projectiles, the scalp of the giant turtle cracked, and it twisted its neck wildly in pain, and opened its mouth to bite the 'Road Rage', and the upper and lower jaws were about to bite it apart.
The three-ton 'Road Rage' was bitten off the ground by the giant tortoise, and the fangs in its large mouth easily penetrated the alloy steel body of the 'Road Rage', causing great damage.
'Road Rage' used his strength, and the giant arm of the machine drove the iron fist to pound fiercely on the nose of the snakehead. After a few beatings, the nosebleeds from the giant tortoise flowed. But the other party endured the pain and gritted his teeth, but he didn't let go, and kept shaking his neck to smash the 'Road Rage' to the ground.
After a few blows, the parts of Road Rover's body were shattered by the heavy impact. But the thump-thump-thump arquebus salvo came again. This time, it hit the neck of the giant tortoise that had just broken the defense, and a few pieces of flesh were exposed under the scales that had been knocked off, and three hundred lead bullets hit this point in one go.
Under the snake's neck was the seven-inch vital point of the old turtle, and after being wounded, it twitched as if frightened, and the big mouth of the dead bite finally loosened and cried out in pain. The huge body even took two or three steps backwards.
The 'Road Rage' was not lightly damaged, and the storm and cloud array behind it immediately surged with golden light to illuminate its steel body. One is to repair his damage, and the other is to replenish Zhou Qingfeng's consumption of willpower.
It's just that the giant turtle on the opposite side is experienced, and it will never give Zhou Qingfeng a chance to breathe. It took a few steps back and stepped forward again, and a continuous stream of chaotic blade aura flew out from its eyes, and each blow seemed to have the ability to cut through space.
This desolate alien species shot with all his might, and the power was really extraordinary. Zhou Qingfeng barely stood up, raised the alloy steel shield with one hand, and countless black chaotic blades crackled and critted on it. After a few breaths, the alloy steel shield showed signs of distortion and disintegration, obviously about to be unable to hold on.
This giant turtle can be called the strongest opponent Zhou Qingfeng has encountered since his debut. Even the Mang Gurtai he had encountered before was not as terrible as it. Seeing that the alloy steel shield in his hand was about to be unable to hold on, Zhou Qingfeng struggled to jump forward, and punched the giant turtle's snake head.
But this desperate blow only made the opponent's head shake slightly, followed by the snake's head swinging over, and easily knocked the heavy 'Road Rage' away. The snake's head shook and opened its mouth again, and it continued to bite the steel body of the 'Road Rage'.
All the officers and soldiers in the Fengyun Great Array were anxious, and the female soldiers of the fire gun were about to fire a third salvo. Ye Na, who was in control of the 'Wind and Cloud Banner', shouted loudly: "Wait a minute. Tie up all our explosives packets. ”
On the land march, the amount of explosives carried by the northward detachment was not large, and after a large amount of consumption in Tongzhou, there were only more than 100 kilograms left. Seeing that the big monster outside was so powerful, the combat sappers in the big array immediately understood what Ye Na meant. The two dozen explosive bags were soon bundled together, so large and heavy that ordinary people could not carry them at all.
Ye Na gave up control of the large array, she grabbed the explosive bag, and the virtual feather flapped her wings, and flew out as fast as she could, flying onto the back of the giant tortoise.
"No, the shell of this giant tortoise must be very hard." Ye Na turned around and sprang under the giant tortoise's thick four legs, throwing hundreds of kilograms of explosives into its abdomen.
At this time, the 'Road Rage' controlled by Zhou Qingfeng was bitten by the snake's head for the second time, and the steel body also looked tattered, and his hands and feet were not very flexible. Because his dantian qi was exhausted, he could no longer drive this hugely expensive war machine. Just when he reached the point where he had nothing to do, Ye Na suddenly flew over, raised her two-handed sword and slashed viciously at the giant turtle's eyes.
The turtle's eyelids closed as if covered with a layer of armor, easily resisting the slash. Anyway, it made up its mind not to let go, and it will kill the thief chief first. Ye Na shouted loudly at this moment: "Salvo explosives pack." ”
Bang bang bang......
A volley of guns fired, and a dense rain of bullets whistled out, all aimed at the large bag of black powder dropped on the belly of the giant tortoise. The hot projectile easily pierced the linen cloth outside the medicine bag, and ignited the granulated black powder inside.
With a bang, the earth shook, and a violent explosion exploded in the belly of the giant tortoise. The giant tortoise was pushed by something, and its huge body rose into the air, tumbling in the sky and falling heavily—the tortoise shell landed on the ground, and its feet were facing the sky.
Crit!
