Chapter Ninety-Four: The Drum
After thinking about it, Xu Chen decided to stabilize everyone for the time being, and it was not too late to find an opportunity to sneak out of Tai'a City after Wang Shen let go of his suspicions.
However, the development of things was beyond Xu Chen's expectations, and within three days, an astonishing event happened in the country of Kuying.
That night, Xu Chen's cultivation had been making no progress all night, and when the rooster crowed, he had to give up his cultivation, washed his face in frustration, and prepared to go out for a walk to relieve his depressed mood.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Su Lingxuan striding towards the outside of the mansion, Xu Chen saw that he was fully clothed and had a cold face, and immediately realized that something had happened in the mansion, but before he stepped forward to ask, Su Lingxuan had already ridden away.
Just when he was wondering, Xu Chen saw Lu Xiao also walking over in battle armor, followed by dozens of soldiers from the Detention Kingdom, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Xiao and asked, "What's going on today? I think the atmosphere in the house is a little unusual!"
"Damn, it's really unlucky to get home!" Lu Xiao said after saying a dirty word: "That faint monarch from the Intestineless Country is coming to us." ”
"That's a good thing. Xu Chen thought that the king had been invited to visit Tai'a City, so he smiled and said: "Brother Lu, when you see General Su, be sure to ask him to find an opportunity to give a few kind words to that wronged friend during the audience, maybe this faint monarch will be happy and will order General Li to be released." ”
"I said Brother Xu, you are really simple enough!" Lu Xiao said hurriedly: "This matter is a long story, you accompany the master in the mansion first, and then talk to you in detail when I come back." After saying that, he hurried away with the soldiers, looking at him with an anxious look, as if something big had happened.
Xu Chen suddenly became curious, he didn't go to visit Wang Shen, and directly asked the family in the house to find him a fast horse, and after he rode it, he went out to track Lu Xiao's whereabouts.
Searching all the way, Xu Chen found that there were few pedestrians on the street, many shops were not open, but on the contrary, there were groups of soldiers everywhere marching in the same direction, Xu Chen thought to himself: "Where are they coming from here?"
With a stomach full of questions, Xu Chen followed them to the outside of the barracks on the outskirts of the city.
Xu Chen saw that the people in the camp shouted that the horses were neighing, so he got off the horse and wanted to go in to see the excitement, but he was forcibly stopped by the soldiers who guarded the door and was not allowed to enter, he was about to tell the other party that he was Su Lingxuan's friend, when he saw Lu Xiao also rushing over with his men, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Lu Xiao smiled bitterly when he saw Xu Chen, so he had to explain the situation to the guards, and then took Xu Chen into the barracks.
At this moment, Su Lingxuan was discussing with several generals under his command in the Chinese military tent, and when he saw Lu Xiao bringing Xu Chen in, he immediately lowered his face and said, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb the young man and the master, why did you still bring Brother Xu in?"
Xu Chen was afraid that Su Lingxuan would blame Lu Xiao, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Su, this is none of Brother Lu's business, I secretly followed him." ”
Su Lingxuan had no choice but to frown helplessly, and asked Xu Chen to stand aside for a while, and then he issued a military order to the generals gathered under the tent.
When he finished dispatching his troops, Lu Xiao and many soldiers immediately received orders to go out of the account to do business, Xu Chen found that there was a tense atmosphere inside and outside the barracks, and then he realized that a war was about to be fought, so he asked: "General Su, who is the thief who came to harass your country and actually asked you to send so many soldiers and horses to meet the enemy?"
"Alas, that faint king of the countryless country, I don't know which tendon in my brain is broken, and he dares to lead an army of 100,000 to invade our country!"
"What, the Intestineless Kingdom is coming to attack Tai'a City?" Xu Chen was taken aback, and then said with a little disbelief: "You're not joking, are you?"
"This matter is absolutely true, in order to directly take my prosperous capital, this faint monarch has now personally led the elite of the navy to make a detour across the sea. According to reliable information from the spies, after a maximum of two hours, the enemy will be killed at the foot of Tai'a City. ”
Tai'a City is the capital of the Ying Kingdom, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is close to the sea, if it is attacked by land, Su Lingxuan only needs to send a member of the Xiao general to defend the pass and not engage with it, and it will not be long before the enemy will be unable to sustain the food and grass and automatically retreat.
But this time the intestinal country came from the waterway, how dare Su Lingxuan slack off, after receiving the 100,000 urgent military information early in the morning, he hurriedly mobilized all the naval officers and soldiers in the capital to prepare to attack the incoming enemy without even going to the court.
Su Lingxuan knew very well that this battle was not trivial, and the winner could severely defeat the enemy's spirit, and if he was defeated, the country would be ruined. So after he finished arranging the military deployment, he and Xu Chen hurried out of the city, came to the beach to board the warship, and went to charge into battle in person.
Xu Chen stood on the bow of the ship and looked out, and found that the sea level in the distance was densely packed with warships, he roughly counted, there were no less than nearly a hundred, if there were a hundred soldiers on a ship, I am afraid that the faint monarch of the Intestineless Country brought more than 100,000 soldiers and horses this time.
Looking at his own warships again, it is obvious that the number of troops is not as good as that of the Intestineless Country, in fact, it is no wonder that Su Lingxuan, the Intestineless Country adopted a surprise attack strategy this time, and it was already too late when he received the information, except for gathering the surrounding naval forces, it was too late to mobilize the elites from all over the country to come to King Qin.
Xu Chen couldn't help but be a little worried, but Su Lingxuan was the general of the Mighty Shock side, and he sneered and said, "It's a bit interesting, pass the order, beat the war drums for me, and welcome the faint monarch of the Intestineless Country to send the spoils to this general!"
Suddenly, the drums sounded loudly, and the naval troops of the Detention Kingdom were also encouraged and their morale was high, and the generals standing in Su Lingxuan stepped forward one after another to ask to take the lead, even Xu Chen couldn't hold back, and arched his hand and said: "General Su, can you give me a few boats, so that I can go to the current pioneer addiction?"
Su Lingxuan said: "Hehe, there is no need for Xu Shaoxia to work on this matter, I know that brother, you are ten thousand enemies, but marching and fighting pay attention to strategy and arranging troops, this is not something you are good at, for the time being, watch the battle with me and then pay attention to it." ”
Before Xu Chen could reply, he heard the war drums beating in the enemy ships, not to be outdone, and what was even more odious was that there was a kind of war drum sound in the warships of the Intestineless Country that was extremely harsh and loud, although it was so far away, it could be very clearly transmitted to the ears of every soldier of the Detention Kingdom under the noisy occasion of thousands of drums on both sides of the enemy.
As soon as this drum sounded, it immediately suppressed the momentum of Su Lingxuan's side, its sound was very special, every time it was struck, it was like a thunderbolt roaring, making people feel pain in the eardrums after listening to it, and the chest was stuffy, even if some soldiers covered their ears with their hands, the drum sound was still vibrating, endlessly, and after listening to it for a long time, it made people feel like qi and blood were flowing backwards.
Xu Chen was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly urged the true qi in his body to protect the meridians around his body, so as to prevent the sound of drums from imperceptibly damaging the organs in his body.
Su Lingxuan's brows furrowed, obviously he was also affected by the sound of drums, but his cultivation was one level higher than Xu Chen's, except for some restlessness, his body did not have much discomfort because of this.
Xu Chen scolded: "Damn, what kind of broken drum is this, how can it be so noisy!"
Su Lingxuan said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you don't know this, this is a war drum made of cowhide. ”
Xu Chen also understood after hearing this, Master Nangong Muyang once told him that there is a Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, and the spirit beast Kui Niu lives in this sacred mountain, it resembles a buffalo without horns on its head, but there is only one leg under its huge body, and every time it appears, it is accompanied by a violent storm, so it is difficult for the world to see its true face.
This spirit animal sleeps in a cave all year round, rarely making a sound, but when it roars, it is as deafening as thunder. It is said that the Yellow Emperor once captured one and made a war drum out of its skin, and every time it was struck, the drum would resound 500 miles away, deterring evil spirits in the world.
Su Lingxuan said again: "I originally thought that after the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor killed a Kui Niu, this spirit beast would be extinct in the world, but I really didn't expect that the Intestineless Country would actually have a Kui Drum, presumably they spent a lot of effort to find the skin of this divine beast." ”
The two were chatting, and there was a change in the array of the navy army of the Intestineless Country, and a huge building ship quickly sailed out of the ranks, and the sound of the drums became more and more cracking, which made people even more uncomfortable to hear, causing some timid soldiers to have a cowardly heart.
Su Lingxuan couldn't help but notice that his mood was a little low, he said calmly: "This guy is so rude, he actually dares to take the lead in provoking our army, you guys don't be impatient, wait and listen to my orders, be sure to sink it to frustrate the morale of the enemy army." ”
Xu Chen opened his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw that this warship was like a huge mobile fortress walking on the sea, although the distance was still far away at this time, but Xu Chen had already felt an extremely strong oppressive aura exuding from the ship, there was no doubt that there were many cultivation masters hidden in this warship, and it was the true qi emanating from their bodies that caused a lot of pressure on everyone.
This dark cyan warship rushed towards Su Lingxuan's building ship troops as if no one was around, not to mention Xu Chen this time, even the newly joined soldiers could feel the murderous aura in the ship, and a princely majesty permeated the sea breeze, very arrogant and domineering.
Such a domineering momentum is by no means the friendly visit that Xu Chen thought at the beginning, it is simply a naked provocation to the naval army of the Detention State.
"Boom!" When this battleship of the Intestineless Country was less than two miles away from the battle that Su Lingxuan was riding, the soldiers of the Intestineless Country hidden in the ship shouted loudly along with the drums, and in an instant, it was like a huge wave rolling up, drowning out the sound of gongs and drums of the Detention Nation Naval Army, shaking everyone's ears and making their blood and qi tumbling!
In a matter of moments, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the naval fleet of the Detention Kingdom, warning all the soldiers to prepare for battle and the enemy was coming!
Xu Chen suddenly stared nervously at the battleship, ready to follow Su Lingxuan to kill the enemy at any time. But to everyone's surprise, after the enemy shouted and killed, he did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but suddenly stopped on the sea.
Suddenly, many generals, including Su Lingxuan, were surprised, not knowing what the enemy was trying to do, Su Lingxuan began to feel a little anxious, and everyone couldn't sit still.
At this moment, a golden flag slowly rose on the mast of the enemy warship, embroidered with a script that Xu Chen could not recognize, and he secretly guessed that this was not the script of the Central Plains, but the script used by the Intestineless Country.
When Su Lingxuan saw this yellow flag raised, his face couldn't help but sink, it was normal for Xu Chen to be a foreigner and not know him, but for this battle-hardened general, he immediately realized who the commander of this enemy warship was.
Not only him, but all the soldiers and soldiers of the Navy, who recognized this flag, in the country of no intestines, there is only one person who dares to hang this flag on the ship, and he is the king of the country of no intestines.
If, in a war, the commander dies or is captured alive by the enemy just after the war has begun, then there is no need to fight the war.
But now that the war has not started, the enemy king actually dares to take the lead to challenge, this will not be simply to boost morale, people with a little common sense have seen that there is a ghost in it, so the faces of the soldiers of the Ying Kingdom have become a little ugly.
