Chapter 572: The rout at the front
When Kenin retreated with the Blue Flag War Department, he found that the area around the Chongyun Spear station was overcrowded. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Blue Flag War Department suffered heavy losses, and less than one-third of those who could come back alive could be said to have completely lost their combat effectiveness. But Kenin didn't want to go back like that, he took the remnants of the war department and stationed them in a relatively peripheral location.
There was finally a chance to breathe, and the Blue Flag War Department also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the casualties were huge, and the soldiers in the camp were demoralized and demoralized. Before going to the battlefield, they were full of ambition, and after improving the tower artillery, they thought that they had mastered the key to victory.
However, the Blood Cultivator gave them a head-on blow, and watching the comrades around them fall like wheat harvesting, they realized how big the gap was with the Blood Cultivation War Department.
The camp was filled with the wails and moans of the wounded, and the rest of the people were depressed and depressed, and Konin felt depressed and walked out of the camp alone.
Li Houtang noticed Ke Ning's abnormality, put down his work, and walked out of the camp.
Konin sat by the creek not far from the camp.
Li Houtang only heard Ke Ning's suppressed cry when he approached, he sighed in his heart, sat down beside Ke Ning, and comforted: "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much." ”
In his eyes, Kenin is like his nephew, watching him grow up. Ke Ning has thought highly of himself since he was a child, and this defeat hit him too hard, and Li Houtang was worried about whether he could recover from it.
Li Houtang then persuaded: "There are not a few war departments that can compete with the Blood Cultivation War Department, and there is no shame in losing." However, it is not safe here, so we should retreat as soon as possible. The speed at which the Blood Cultivation War Department is advancing will soon be here. ”
Kenin wiped the tears from his face, stopped crying, and looked up and said, "I'm not leaving." ”
Li Houtang sighed: "Is it the time to lose your temper now? This time, the Blood Cultivation War Department is dispatched, who can stop it? Even the spear of Chongyun, with the help of Zhenshen Peak, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop." ”
Ke Ning asked rhetorically: "The spear of Chongyun can't stop it, so even if we retreat, where can we retreat?"
Li Houtang was dumbfounded.
Yes, the Heavy Cloud Spear is already the last line of defense, if it can't be defended, then there really is nothing that can stop the torrent of blood cultivation.
"We're going to stay. Konin accentuated his tone: "Join the Tower Artillery Alliance." Our tower artillery actually inflicts damage on the enemy, and the tower artillery technique is useful, but our level is too poor. Join the Tower Artillery Alliance and learn the real art of tower artillery, and our combat effectiveness will definitely increase. ”
Li Houtang said worriedly: "But I heard that Shi Xue is arrogant, what if we join the Tower Artillery Alliance and want to hand over the war department?"
"Then hand it over!" Kening's tone was resolute, and he then laughed at himself: "What's the use of holding this little remnant of our war department in our hands?"
Li Houtang is not persuading, Ke Ning is right, the war department is already crippled, and the morale is at the bottom. The tragic defeat, many people are afraid that they will never have the courage to fight with the blood cultivator in this life.
Ke Ning stared at the stream and said, "So many brothers are dead, I can't go back and hide without saying a word." ”
Li Houtang was a little worried: "With so many war departments, I'm afraid that the Tower Artillery Alliance is not so easy to enter." ”
Kenin seemed to say to himself: "Soon there won't be so many war departments." ”
Li Houtang couldn't help but say, "What do you mean that there won't be so many war departments soon?"
Ke Ning asked, "What does Uncle Li think of our Blue Flag?"
Li Houtang was a little proud: "There is no way to compare with the spear of Chongyun, but it is still much stronger than the ordinary war department." ”
Ke Ning nodded, obviously agreeing with Li Houtang's meaning, but his tone changed: "Even we were defeated so badly, how could the other war departments survive?"
Li Houtang was stunned.
Ke Ning continued: "Uncle Li, you see, there will be a lot of bad news coming soon, and at least half of this place will run away at that time." ”
Li Houtang was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Ke Ning.
There was still a little immature face before, but now it is smoky and burning, and it seems to be much more mature overnight. The previous arrogance has disappeared and is much calmer.
Li Houtang was very pleased.
Kenin said it.
The Azure War Department was defeated, the Golden Feather War Department was defeated, and the Poplar War Department was destroyed......
The defeated war divisions followed one after another, and on the most recent day, the news of the defeat of five war divisions was received.
Now the enemy's strength and war department have gradually surfaced, and the enemy is divided into three ways and marches at the same time.
The Divine Tiger War Department leading the Bright Light Blood Department and the Roaring Blood Department and the Divine Demon War Department leading the Raw Blood Department and the Blood-Exterminating Blood Department served as the two wings, and the Divine Wolf War Department and the Silver Frost War Department acted as the forward arrow.
However, in three directions, the war department on the Yuan Xiu side was defeated on all fronts.
The tower artillery technique, which everyone had high hopes for, did not bring victory to everyone.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and depressing, and the defeated war units on the front fled back, which dealt a great blow to morale. In the survivors' descriptions, the Blood Cultivation War Department is as invincible as a god and demon.
The people of the war departments were panicked, and all kinds of rumors and versions were flying around.
Already seeing that the situation was not good, the war department began to retreat to the rear. After emulation, it immediately attracted a wave of retreat. Every day, there is a war department, pulling out the camp and retreating.
The overcrowded vicinity of the Heavy Cloud Spear camp began to become empty.
The atmosphere in the Heavy Cloud Spear also became tense.
Jiang Wei, who returned to the camp, didn't care that his injuries had not healed, and he had already begun to prepare for the battle. The young team members who were brought back were also arranged to join the cultivation at this time. Originally, these young players were prepared for the future, but the situation was suddenly critical, and they couldn't care about anything else.
In the camp, the most stressed are the fat people.
At the beginning, the fat man was full of energy, especially when he learned that Ai Hui would come over soon, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. To be able to show off in front of Ah Hui, that is a dream that has been there since the time of savage coolies.
But as the situation deteriorated, the desire to show off to Ai Hui had long been thrown out of the sky by him.
The tower cannon is their key weapon against the Blood Repair War Department, and it is also the basis for them to set up tactical arrangements, if there is a problem with the tower artillery, then all the arrangements will be overturned and restarted.
The fat man, who had never shouldered such a heavy responsibility, felt that he had a mountain on his shoulders.
However, the tower gun casting encountered problems.
One area of the camp was converted into a dedicated artisan area, and it was in full swing. A large number of craftsmen who have been requisitioned and exchanged for snow lava are now trying to refine real hive heavy cannons.
The one the fat man used for his demonstration that day was a miniature version, and in his vision, the length of the hive cannon reached six zhang and the diameter reached one zhang.
The fat man's vision is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Everyone is not familiar with the refining of tower artillery, not to mention the beehive heavy cannon with amazing specifications, which has not succeeded so far, this fat man is so anxious that his mouth is on fire and foaming, and his eyes are bloodshot.
"Fat Division, which tower can stand such a heavy cannon?"
"Fat Master, otherwise let's be smaller, and the power of a little smaller is not bad!"
The craftsmen persuaded one after another, and the successive failures dealt a great blow to everyone's morale.
The fat man's eyes turned red: "Shut up Lao Tzu!"
As soon as the fat man was angry, everyone was suddenly silent, and they all drooped their heads.
The fat man now misses He Blind very much, although He Blind is always cold, but the work in his hands is absolutely amazing.
Zu Yan came over, squatted on the ground, and carefully inspected the scrapped heavy artillery. He soon discovered that the problem was with the honeycomb-shaped inner tube, which had many tiny scars.
This is the crux of the matter, the craftsman cannot cast a qualified honeycomb heavy artillery inner tube.
Zu Yan was also racking his brains, the injuries on his body were basically healed, and he also knew that the current situation was critical, and there was not much time left for them. If they can't forge enough hive guns, their strength will be greatly reduced.
It's a pity that Zu Yan is not a weaponry, he doesn't know anything about forging, and he doesn't gain anything for half a day.
When you leave the artisan quarter, you can still hear the fat man's thunderous thunder and roar. It was the first time Zu Yan saw the fat man so anxious, in his eyes, the fat man had never been indifferent to anything and didn't care about anything.
Right now, it's like a tyrant, judging like two people.
Not to mention anything else, the fat man saved his life, and Zu Yan was also thinking about how to help the fat man solve this problem.
He remembered that the fat man said that as long as the craftsman's skills were good, the forging of the honeycomb inner tube was not a problem. However, the craftsmen in the camp were all exchanged and recruited, and their level could only be regarded as qualified. And the skills of craftsmen cannot be improved in a short period of time.
Or find a great craftsman?
But where to find it? There is no village in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, where are there any craftsmen?
Zu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he knew where there were craftsmen. But then he had some concerns, after all, tower cannon forging needs to be kept secret, but after thinking about it, if he loses this time, there will be nothing left, so what does it matter if he keeps it secret.
The situation is as Konin expected, he is not idle, and he is constantly boosting morale these days. And those soldiers who have lost their blood and bravery, he will give them severance pay and let them go back.
After his rectification, there were only a few people left, only more than a hundred people remained, and the camp was empty. But the morale in the camp was renewed, and those who insisted on staying were warriors eager for revenge.
The Tower Artillery Alliance did not move for a long time, Ke Ning endured it, and did not go to Shi Xueman, he was waiting for an opportunity.
Ke Ning had been secretly keeping an eye on the Heavy Cloud Spear, and when he found a Yuan Xiu of the Heavy Cloud Spear walking towards him, his spirits lifted.
He took the initiative to greet him: "But the Tower Artillery Alliance is about to start recruiting?"
The other party was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No." ”
Kenning was a little disappointed, but he still remained patient, and when he saw the other party's anxious expression, he said, "How can I help?"
The other man asked, "Do you have any craftsmen who know how to forge?" ”
Kenning was surprised that the other party was actually coming for the craftsman, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
The other party refused to say.
Ke Ning's heart moved, the craftsman who needed forging at this time refused to say, could it be ......
He forced himself to press and said calmly, "Wait a minute. ”
He turned his head and called Uncle Li.
The visitor looked at Uncle Li and asked politely: "We need craftsmen with excellent skills, and we haven't consulted Your Excellency yet." ”
Li Houtang said proudly: "Li Houtang, armory." ”
He has this capital pride.
The comer was first startled, then ecstatic.
