0389 Chariot of Wraith
Zhang Qingfeng took the letter handed over by the second daughter, doubted in his heart, opened Qin Yun'er's letter first, and read it carefully.
Looking at it, Zhang Qingfeng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and in the end, he couldn't help laughing.
After reading Qin Yun'er's letter, she opened the letter handed over by Tang Qianqian.
"Great!"
After reading the two letters, Zhang Qingfeng's smiling eyes narrowed into a line, and he exhaled a long breath of turbidity.
"Aomine, what's so good?"
Zhang Chaoyang, who was climbing down the steps to the city gate tower, just heard the voice and couldn't help asking.
"King Xiang is dead, Korea is finished, and the ancient kingdom of the Spring and Autumn Period should be completely eradicated in the Tang Dynasty, old man, I finally understand what the magician is waiting for. ”
Zhang Qingfeng handed the letter to Zhang Chaoyang, and the old man smiled after reading it.
The letter Tang Qianqian got back was written by Emperor Tang himself.
The content of the letter is that after King Xiang learned that his son was killed, he decided to personally lead the army to crusade against Da Zhou to avenge his son, but not long after the army left the city, the killer placed by the Tang Emperor next to King Xiang found an opportunity and pierced the heart with a sword.
The throne is high and powerful, and there are countless masters and strong people around him, if he has been hiding in the Tang Imperial City, the Tang Emperor has no chance to start, this time because his son was killed by Zhang Qingfeng, he took the initiative to ask for the order to kill Zhou, obviously to avenge his son, but in fact he wanted to secretly assist the Aquarius King, but gave the Tang Emperor an opportunity.
As soon as King Xiang died, it could be regarded as fulfilling Zhang Qingfeng's promise to the Tang Emperor.
The letter sent by Qin Yun'er is even more interesting, the content is about the inside story of the war between Korea and Qin.
After the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom, a 50,000-strong horse elite army of South Korea crossed the Phoenix Valley in a high-profile manner to enter the territory of the Great Zhou under the slogan of welcoming the prince, but somehow, when crossing the valley, he accidentally killed a Qin hunter, which was judged by the Qin Elders to be a sign of Korea's declaration of war on the Qin State.
Using this as an excuse, the soldiers and horses of the Qin people, who had already received Qin Fengtu's secret order to closely monitor the movements of South Korea, began to attack South Korea with a large army.
South Korea and Qin are neighbors, and in terms of national strength, Qin is much stronger than South Korea.
One side has been planning for a long time, one side is defenseless, one side is justifiable, and the other side is poor in words, and in the first two days of the battle, nearly thirty percent of the cities in Korea surrendered to the Qin army's iron cavalry.
In addition, a total of 250,000 iron horsemen from the Qin State and the Tang Dynasty are on their way to support, and they will be able to enter Quanyang City at noon tomorrow at the earliest.
With these 250,000 soldiers and horses, the Great Zhou had the strength to confront the 400,000 troops of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom, how could Zhang Qingfeng not be happy?
However, the happiness of the grandfather and grandson did not last long, and a cannon sound from the military camp opposite woke up the entire Quanyang City.
"Young master, there are signs of large-scale deployment of troops and horses in the military camp of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom, and they seem to be preparing to attack the city!"
Du Dayan, who was guarding the city gate tower and was responsible for monitoring the movements of the enemy army, suddenly shouted eagerly.
"It seems that the magician is really waiting for the king and the reinforcements from Korea. ”
The reaction on the other side confirmed Zhang Qingfeng's conjecture, it was enough for an army of 400,000 to attack Quanyang City, but the magician who had suffered many losses did not seem to be at ease, presumably now he had also received a secret report that King Xiang had been killed and South Korea itself was difficult to protect, so he decided to attack the city.
"Beat the drums, prepare for battle!"
Zhang Qingfeng gave an order, and the defenders of the Great Zhou quickly entered a state of combat readiness.
Half an hour later.
The army of the ancient kingdom of the Spring and Autumn period launched an attack.
The 400,000-strong army was divided into eight echelons and rushed to the city gate in batches.
With the support of the people of the whole city, the defense capability of Quanyangcheng is not what it used to be, and under the joint resistance of the Black Dragon Guard, the Blood Clothes Guard and the Tiger and Leopard Legion, the battle lasted until dusk, and the Spring and Autumn Army failed to break the city.
Mountains of corpses piled up outside the city.
Broken limbs and arms were everywhere, and blood flowed and pestles.
The dead and wounded civilians and defenders on the city walls were not much less than the Spring and Autumn army.
"Young master, look, what is that?"
Zhang Qingfeng has been standing on the tower of the city gate, assisting Zhang Chaoyang to command the soldiers and people to defend the city, seeing the retreat of the Spring and Autumn army, just breathed a sigh of relief, Du Dayan's exclamation attracted his attention to the Spring and Autumn army in front again.
"Huh?"
Zhang Qingfeng didn't have Du Dayan's eyesight talent, but after entering the Five Realms, his eyesight had far surpassed that of ordinary martial arts cultivators, and in front of the enemy barracks opposite, a black behemoth appeared in his sight.
"It's a giant scorpion. ”
Zhang Qingfeng's pupils shrank violently, in today's day's battle, the magicians didn't dispatch the giant scorpion, and they didn't expect to be dispatched at this time!
However, what really attracted Zhang Qingfeng's attention was not the machine scorpion he had ever seen.
Instead, hundreds of fiery red chariots drove out around the giant scorpion!
All of these chariots shone with fiery red runes, and directly in front of each chariot was a fuchsia cannon barrel the thickness of a human leg, and the barrel also shone with rune brilliance.
"It's the Chariot of Wraith!"
Zhang Qingfeng hadn't seen the origin of these chariots yet, and Zhang Chaoyang on the side suddenly exclaimed.
"Qingfeng, what are you afraid of, I didn't expect that the magician would bring all the magic weapons of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom!"
Zhang Chaoyang's anxious face changed, this was the first time Zhang Qingfeng saw the panicked side of the old man.
"The Chariot of Stygian Fire?"
Zhang Qingfeng really hadn't heard of this name.
"It's not just powerful, it's just a killing machine!" Zhang Chaoyang explained: "These chariots are all made of star iron, and the inside of the chariot is engraved with a fire spirit pattern, once the spirit pattern is activated, the whole body of the car will burn violently, and it will turn into a sea of fire within a radius of twenty meters! No one dares to approach!"
"Xingchen iron is a precious metal for building spiritual weapons, after blessing the runes, even the giant crossbow that guards the city can't shoot through, and the catapult can't penetrate it, as long as the spar that supplies energy in the car is not exhausted, even the powerhouses of the Five Realms can't help it!"
"These are not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that the barrel of the cannon protruding from the front of the flexible combat vehicle can fire a special flame projectile, and after the flame bomb explodes, it will turn into a sea of fire within thirty meters of the vicinity!"
"Qingfeng, in order to destroy Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom even moved out the most powerful war weapon in the Central Plains, it seems that Quanyang City is afraid that it will not be able to hold it. ”
This is the first time Zhang Qingfeng has seen the old man lose confidence, and at the same time, it is enough to imagine the power and terrifying of this kind of Hellfire Chariot.
At this moment, the opponent suddenly flashed with fire, and then there was a loud bang, and a fireball shot out from the barrel of the cannon sticking out in front of one of the Stygian Fire Chariots.
This chariot was seven or eight hundred meters away from the city gate, which was beyond the coverage of the city crossbow and catapult, but under the effect of the magic circle, this flame projectile shot from the barrel flew directly through the city gate tower, and flew out nearly a hundred meters before falling to the ground.
"Boom!"
The flame bomb smashed on the ground, suddenly exploded, and the small fireballs that burned like fireworks ignited the ground of more than 30 meters around, and several people who couldn't dodge were splashed by the flames, and suddenly turned into burning people.
"It's a Hellfire Bomb!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Qingfeng immediately guessed a rare substance contained in this flame bomb: Dark Fire Powder.
