Chapter 1286: Enemy Situation
Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 inforeadx;? The sky-shaking cannon is a scam, in fact, there are still traces to follow, when Shangguan Xiu proposed the concept of the sky-shaking cannon to Qingyuan, even Qingyuan is so proficient in firearms, the first reaction is impossible,
Later, he proposed the concept of adding spirit metal, and used many spiritual cultivators to work together to spiritualize the giant cannon, Qingyuan only said that it was possible to do it, but as for whether it was feasible or not, no one knew it, after all, the real thing was not created.
Moreover, if Ning Nan really had a weapon like the Heaven-Shattering Cannon, he would have moved out and used it a long time ago, so why wait until today, Jun Qihan was right, he was indeed played with by Xin Jiyao this time,
Thinking about this, Shangguan Xiu's mood was even more depressed,
A few days later, the main force of the wind army led by Luo Ren arrived at the Thamel Gorge and joined Shangguan Xiu.
During this period, the main force of the Ningnan Army had already reached the city of Gut, but it did not successfully cross the Orinho River.
Before the Ningnan army arrived at Gute City, the dark flag personnel led by Duan Qiyue arrived here first.
There are three ports in Gute City, all of which are anchored with a large number of ships collected by the Ningnan Army.
After the Dark Flag personnel arrived in Gute City, they unexpectedly destroyed one of the ports first, and before the Dark Flag personnel struck again, Jun Ran also led people to Gute City, and imposed the vigilance of the other two ports.
The two sides fought wits and courage in Gute City, and in the end, the dark flag personnel smashed a port with the strategy of attacking the east and west, and Jun Ran and others concentrated their efforts to defend the last port, and the dark flag personnel could no longer find a chance to shoot.
Two of the three ports were destroyed, and with them, the ships anchored in the two ports were destroyed.
There was only one port of ships left, which was not enough to transport hundreds of thousands of Ningnan troops across the river, and after the main force of the Ningnan army arrived in Gute City, they began to make rafts while encircling and suppressing the shadow flag personnel who had mixed into the city.
The plan of the main force of the Ningnan Army to quickly retreat into the city-state of Volo was also slowed down, but the speed at which the Ningnan Army was slowed down would not be too long, and Xin Jiyao was also confident that before the main force of the Feng Army arrived at Gute City, he could complete the crossing of the river with the whole army.
The speed of the wind army's march was still faster than Xin Jiyao's expectations, and the main force of the wind army did not delay much here in the Thamel Canyon, and went north at full speed, heading straight to Gute City.
Five days later,
The wind army arrived at the town of Zowo, which was only twenty miles away from the city of Gut,
In Gute City, it is now busy, especially on the shore in the north of the city, a large number of ships and rafts are moored, and tens of thousands of Ningnan troops and the people of Gute City are transporting batches of materials to the ships and rafts.
Xin Jiyao was standing on the dock on the shore at this time, and beside her, dozens of generals of the Ningnan Army were gathered.
Zhong Ce walked quickly to Xin Jiyao's side, bowed his figure, and said in a low voice: "General, just after returning from the horse, the main force of the Feng Army has arrived in Zuowo Town, and within an hour, the troops will be under the city, general...... Let's get on the boat first,"
Xin Jiyao glanced at Zhong Ce, and said expressionlessly: "Probe and report again,"
"Yes, General," Zhong Ce agreed, and left quickly, the Xin family's intelligence network is all over the world, and Zhong Ce is one of the decision-makers of the Xin family's intelligence network, and his status is above many Xin family children.
Seeing Zhong Ce walk away, Jun Ran approached Xin Jiyao and said, "Miss, it's not early, it's time to board the ship,"
Jun Ran has always positioned himself as Xin Jiyao's servant, and has always been commensurate with Xin Jiyao as a young lady.
Xin Jiyao smiled at him and said, "Don't be nervous, wait a little longer,"
"Yes, Miss," Jun Ran bowed in response, but his frown never let go,
Just when people kept carrying materials, several gunshots suddenly rang out near the port, and several Ningnan soldiers who were carrying goods fell to the ground.
This sudden attack also made the people in the port chaotic, especially the people who were carrying supplies, who were so frightened that they ran around in the port.
For the accident, Xin Jiyao's face did not have the slightest surprise, only calm and indifference, as if this had long been expected by her,
The main force of the wind army is already approaching Gute City, and the wind people hidden in the city will not wait for the opportunity to move, and do their best to slow down their retreat.
Jun Ran reacted extremely quickly and said to Xin Jiyao: "Miss, I'll go to control the enemy,"
"Well, be careful,"
"Understood," Jun Ran agreed, and with dozens of spiritual cultivators, he ran straight to the direction where the gunshots came from, Xin Jiyao looked at the subordinates around him, and without her order, many generals had already run to the place where the chaos occurred to stabilize the situation,
The chaos was quickly brought under control, and people picked up the goods again and transported them to the boats and rafts.
The corners of Xin Jiyao's mouth hooked, and said: "Fengren's ability, that's all," as she spoke, she put her hands behind her back, shook her head to the people on the left and right, and said, "Order, board the ship,"
There were about 50,000 soldiers of the Ningnan Army who crossed the river in the first batch, and there were still a lot of materials.
Gute City is located in the upper reaches of the Orinho River, the width of the river is between two or three miles, it is not very wide, but the water is turbulent, the bottom of the river is also deep, and there is an undercurrent hidden in it, even if the water is very good, it is very dangerous to want to swim across the Orinho River, often swim and suddenly disappear, and be swept into the bottom of the water by the undercurrent under the water.
Xin Jiyao watched the large and small ships gradually leave the port and go straight to the other side, her eyes rolled, and she turned her head sideways and said, "General Li,"
Li Xiao stepped forward, intervened in the salute, and said, "The last general,"
"You lead 5,000 brothers to the south of the city, the wind army knows that our army is crossing the river, and will definitely send a small group of elites, light and fast, to attack, you must give this wind army to me outside the city,"
"The last general obeys the order," Li Xiao agreed, and took the order away,
In fact, Xin Jiyao was really right, Luo Ren sent an elite of 20,000 people, lightly armed, and took the lead in attacking Gute City, frdo
The 20,000 elite wind army, after arriving in Gute City, immediately launched a fierce battle with the Ningnan defenders, and the Ningnan army left behind, plus the reinforcement of Li Xiao, a total of only 25,000 people,
But for the Ningnan Army, this battle was the last battle between them and the Feng Army in the territory of Duji, and all the soldiers, without reservation, used all the shells, stone mines and paper shells that could be used.
Under the fierce firepower of the Ningnan army, the wind army that only came lightly could not rush up at all, and was pressed outside the city by the Ningnan army.
Taking advantage of the gap between the defenders of Nancheng and the wind army, the first batch of ships has transported the 50,000-strong Ningnan army and a large number of military supplies to the north bank.
After the ship returned, the second batch of officers and soldiers of the Ningnan Army boarded the ship one after another, and because of the relatively small amount of materials transported this time, the number of troops transported was much more than that of the first batch, reaching 80,000 people.
Xin Jiyao is most worried about the war in Nancheng now, listening to the spies' continuous returns, she nodded from time to time,
At this time, Jun Ran returned with a large group of spiritual cultivators, and when he approached Xin Jiyao, he bowed down and said, "Miss, the Wind Country Hosaku who was ambushed near the port has been beaten away by us,"
"Very good," Xin Jiyao nodded to Jun Ran with a smile,
"The vanguard of the Wind Army has arrived in Nancheng, and the main force of the Wind Army will not be too far from Gute City, Miss should board the ship now," Jun Ran persuaded again, this time his tone was much more eager than last time,
Xin Jiyao sighed lightly, looking at the crowds of people in the port who were waiting to board the ship, where could she go away,
"Wait a minute, with me here, although the soldiers are anxious, but the army's heart will not be chaotic, if I leave first, I'm afraid it will be chaotic here," In the Ningnan Army, Xin Jiyao's role is to set the sea god needle, as long as she is there, no matter how difficult the situation the Ningnan Army is facing, the soldiers will not panic,
Jun Ran also understood this truth, but he had a bad premonition in his heart, as if the wind army might break the city at any time, seeing the ship leave the port again and row to the opposite bank, Jun Ran asked Zhong Ce: "How is the battle in Nancheng?"
Zhong Ce Zhengse said: "Lord Jun, rest assured, the wind army that arrived in Nancheng was all lightly armed, and did not carry artillery and other baggage, and its offensive did not pose a threat to our city defense,"
Whew, Jun Ran exhaled turbidity, suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Once there is a change in the southern city, report it immediately, and also, the east city and the west city cannot be taken lightly, and strictly guard against the sneak attack of the wind army,"
"I have taken precautions in the future, so you don't have to worry,"
Xin Jiyao smiled at Jun Ran, patted his arm, signaled him to calm down, don't mess with himself, Jun Ran looked at Xin Jiyao who was smiling, the corners of his mouth hooked, and stood quietly beside her, no longer speaking,
Jun Ran has a cold temperament, no matter who he is, his attitude is cold, only for Xin Jiyao is an exception, as long as Xin Jiyao says a word, even if he is asked to chop his own flesh and blood, he is willing,
An army of 80,000 crossed the Orinho River, and all the boats returned, and then the third group of soldiers began to board the ship, this time transporting fewer supplies, and the number of soldiers on board the ship was as many as 100,000.
Looking at the groups of soldiers boarding the ships and rafts, Jun Ran subconsciously looked at Xin Jiyao, although he didn't say much, but the eagerness in his eyes was revealed,
As if sensing his anxiety, Xin Jiyao glanced back at him and said, "Jun Ran, you should also go and board the ship,"
"No," Jun Ran didn't even think about it, and said, "Where is Miss, Jun Ran is there," In this life, Jun Ran will not leave Miss half a step,
His feelings for Xin Jiyao are very complicated, there is gratitude, awe, and admiration, but what he can show is only the first two, as for the admiration, he can only hide it deep in his heart.
Even if he is a rare Secret Inner Sect cultivator in a hundred years, in front of Xin Jiyao, he only has a sense of self-shame,
The boats on the river gradually moved away, smoothly sailed to the opposite bank, after the 100,000 soldiers disembarked, the large and small boats returned to the south bank again, Jun Ran took a deep breath, and whispered: "Miss......"
"Okay, okay, I'll get on the boat," Xin Jiyao was amused by Jun Ran's repeated urging, if she didn't board the boat again, her ears would be cocooned by Jun Ran,
She was also very strange in her heart, and she didn't understand why Jun Ran, who had always been calm and calm, was now acting so frizzy,
There are about 50,000 soldiers who boarded the ship with Xin Jiyao, and this transportation is more of supplies.
The materials in the same batch as Xin Jiyao are not ordinary military materials, but all valuable things looted from all over Duji, even the gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of rare treasures in Duji's palace are almost all in this batch of materials.
The ship transporting troops went first, Xin Jiyao's ship and the ship transporting goods stood on the deck of the ship, Xin Jiyao looked at the port that was gradually moving away, she raised her gaze, and looked at the entire Gute City, and her heart was full of emotion,
This time, she didn't know if there would be a chance to come back in the future, and if she could take another look here, she was defeated after all, defeated in the hands of the wind people, and gave up the huge Du Ji country, thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh softly,
At this moment, there was a great chaos on the port side of Gute City, knock knock, the alarm bell alarm sound one after another, seeing this, Xin Jiyao and the generals of the Ningnan army on the ship were also shocked, and Jun Ran asked Zhong Ce: "What's the matter, is it the wind army that has entered the city?"
Zhong Ce didn't understand why the port was suddenly chaotic, if the wind army really attacked from outside the city, there should be a wolf smoke warning on the side of the city wall.
Before he could speak, a Ning Nanjun who was climbing on the mast suddenly pointed to the east and screamed: "Enemy, it's the enemy who is coming-"
