【364】Mountain spider

At this distance, for the Southern Barbarian Army, which only has long-range weapons such as bows, crossbows, transfer planes, and vehicles, it will not hurt the Jiuyou National Army. In addition, the Jiuyou National Army fought an undeclared war, and directly hit the Southern Barbarian Army by surprise; this advantage is not small at all.

By the time the Southern Barbarians reacted, the Sky Thunder Cannon had already connected and tore at the city wall, and the Poison Fire Divine Cannon continued to illuminate the night sky. The power of the shelling was earth-shattering, and the deafening sound of artillery resounded through the sky.

All the vehicles and transmitters on the northern wall were reimbursed one after another in the shelling, and many towers and enemy towers collapsed. The broken beams and broken tiles fell to the ground with a bang, and countless Southern Barbarian troops were killed and injured

When the second round of shelling ended, the air cavalry and flying troops also began their long-lost air raid with the sound of high horns.

The reggae with a rainbow of morale hovered in the night sky, took deep breaths one after another, puffed out their bellies, aimed at the dock fort on the ground, and suddenly spat out thunder and lightning that broke through the sky. The nimble feathered people and the brave people protected each other in pairs, soaring into the sky until they were a hundred feet above the ground, and then ignited the fire dragon in their hands or the earth-shaking thunder, aiming at the fortress in the Muli Mountain.

The air cavalry lit the small cannons that were erected on the hips of their mounts, while hundreds of fiery unicorns spat blazing flames from the air, igniting the mountain defenses one after another.

The tiger eagles screamed and fluttered their wings, and rushed towards the hillside with the high-pitched Qinyuan. The ghostly ghosts riding on the back of the eagle opened their hands and aimed their unicorn bows at the southern barbarian army that had set up crossbows on the hillside and was ready to counterattack.

This kind of good bow of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, each of which is made in strict accordance with the complex process of analyzing the bow stem in winter, treating the corners in spring and treating the tendons in summer, closing all the materials in autumn, and placing the bow arm in the bow box in the cold winter, lasted two or three years.

And the bow arm is all made of the upper layer of Zhe wood produced in Danshui County, the outside of the bow arm is pasted with round and moist unicorn tendons, and the inner side of the bow arm is hung with horns that are no more than two feet long and five inches, which greatly enhances the elasticity of the bow arm at the same time, making the bow bearer's arrow more powerful as the wind when shooting, and also deeper in the object. Even if the Southern Barbarian Army is wearing tough rattan armor, it will be easy for the ghosts who are extremely accurate in their archery skills to pierce their hearts with an arrow.

In an instant, on the uphill slopes on the east and west sides of Muli Pass, which was filled with a rain of arrows, fires could be seen rising everywhere, and black smoke was billowing up. Wherever the flames passed, the once lush pear trees and unknown shrubs were turned black. Heart-rending screams came and went, and hysterical screams were endless.

The scorching wind swept through the scorching waves, and the flames that spread everywhere in the mountains were surging endlessly, rolling like a roaring wave, like a poisonous snake swallowing snake letters, and unscrupulously scattered in all directions across the mountains and fields.

The panicked Southern Barbarian Army only needed to take a step slower, and it would be swept up by the layers of churning flames, and instantly disappear without a trace in the sea of fire.

If you don't get burned to death by the flames, you may not be happy, and five or six out of ten will die under the air raids. Either they were blown into stumps by the fire dragon and the earth-shattering thunder, or they were killed by the arrows of the ghosts.

What's even more terrifying is that the nightmare did not end there, and the third round of shelling by the Nine Shadows Army followed.

After the collapse of the enemy building, the lake was crushed by broken bricks and beams, and it was very lucky, in addition to many abrasions on its body, it also managed to avoid two rounds of shelling.

When his tinnitus did not stop, he struggled to overturn the beams and broken tiles on his body, and slowly stood up from the ground to look around, but he saw that the originally magnificent pass was already full of holes;

Even though there were many sergeants who survived, they all ended up with bruises.

After a brief period of fright, the battle-hardened Xiao Hu picked up the horn lying quietly in the ruins and sounded a sonorous and powerful charge order.

At this moment, Muli Pass, with its tall city walls and solid enemy towers, can no longer become a barrier for the Southern Barbarian Army to save their lives. Only by fighting out of the pass and rushing condescendingly, there is still a slight chance of victory.

In addition, there are countless rugged strange stones and large and small stone walls on both sides of the ancient road outside the pass, which stand horizontally and vertically on the hillside, which can be used as a barrier to avoid the shelling of the Nine Shadows Army when the Southern Barbarian Army charges.

And when the army moves, it can still get a glimmer of life under the intensive artillery fire of the Jiuyou National Army.

Thinking of this, Xiaohu blew the horn even harder.

The Southern Barbarians who heard the horn of attack recovered from their panic; they were stunned for a moment, and then after hearing that the horn was indeed blowing, the ghost blood flowing in their bodies immediately boiled.

In Xuanyan Continent, many of the already fierce Southern Barbarian Army on weekdays have always been famous for their courage and good fighting; when they are not fighting, they are simple and hospitable, and they really can't see any fierceness, but once the battle horn sounds, they will inevitably be full of bloodthirsty desires, and they will never retreat and rush forward.

The farthest is the fiasco of the Chongshan Pass of the Nine Hidden Countries five years ago, and the most recent is the fierce battle outside the Ghost Cry Pass in January not long ago, which is the best proof of the courage and good fighting of the Southern Barbarian Army.

"Go, my warriors, your swords are thirsty, and they are desperate to drink the blood of the enemy!" He hung the horn on his waist, and took out the knife at his waist that was curved and the tip of the blade was oblique, like a waist knife with a crescent moon, and waved angrily and pointed straight down the mountain.

The pungent smoke billowed and the scorching flames were surging.

When the cry that shook the universe landed, all the surviving Southern Barbarian troops were all excited. They were like bloodthirsty beasts, their eyes shining with a cold fierce light as they roared in the sky. Then, despite the bleeding pain on his body, he drew his waist knife one after another, followed the gap and collapsed place on the pass, jumped lightly and flexibly, and stood under the city wall.

"Look for death!" "Looking for death!" After seeing the Southern Barbarian Army pouring out of the pass like a tide, the ghost squeezed out the word cold between his teeth, and then waved the command flag in his hand.

In an instant, in the large array of the Nine Shadows Army, a dense battle drum sounded like raindrops.

The large artillery stopped firing, and the small tiger squatting cannon, which had already raised its head and had a ghostly muzzle, had already begun to reload in unison.

In the vast night, there was a howling wind, and the sound of the wind was filled with the shouts of the Southern Barbarian army.

In just a moment, the small cannons of the Nine Shadows Army had been fully reloaded. A "boom" series of earthquakes rang out, and the earth trembled and there were bursts of fire, and cannonball-like shells flew whizzing, piercing the night sky and then falling to the ground suddenly, exploding in the southern barbarian army all over the mountains. In the dazzling flames, there were waves of air rising endlessly, and there was dust and gravel flying endlessly, and countless Southern Barbarian troops were suddenly blown to pieces.

Even so, they rushed down the mountain with the sound of trumpets. It seemed that in the midst of the thrilling sound of the horn, non-stop fighting became their only instinct.

But in the face of the menacing Southern Barbarian Army, every Jiuyou Army was still not frightened; The second is that they have been continuing the training policy formulated by Xiao Shizhu for the former Xiao Jiajun.

In addition to the subjects that must be trained, all the Nine Shadows Army will be divided into groups every day, and they will all be divided into two ghosts to fight each other. Those who win can get a reward of five copper plates, and those who lose cannot be treated in time, but are punished by the five army sticks first.

Although this kind of training was barbaric and unkind, it made every individual soldier of the Nine Shadows Army able to fight once a day, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the sergeants.

When the first batch of Southern Barbarian troops who rushed down the hillside and approached the advance of the Nine Shadows Country approached, the seven members of the row of Nine Shadow Country infantry standing at the front of the army formation shouted: "Ha!"

The two rows of musketeers who followed had already pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!" In the midst of a series of gunshots, a series of crimson guns shot out from the pitch-black muzzles, and they were dazzlingly fast.

In the hands of the Nine Shadow Army, Lai Yueqi rebuilt the Thunderbolt and Lianzhu Gun according to the books left by the ancient gods, and they are almost the same as the firearms in the world, all of which are fired using the technology of the gun and the firing pin. Not only can it be fired continuously, but it can also greatly increase the rate of fire and power, and reduce the disadvantage of being easy to dumb fire or blow up.

The most vicious thing is that Lai Yueqi and Xiao Shizhu have learned to be ghosts, and she requires all the weapons supervisors under her command to make every warhead and shrapnel of Ziqi to be made of soul-breaking iron. It doesn't matter if you are a human soul and a demon soul, you only need to take one shot, and you will naturally die.

I saw that the Southern Barbarian Army who rushed to the front, under the frantic strafing of the Nine Ghost Army, fell to the ground and died after a sudden convulsion in the midst of the gunfire.

In the blink of an eye, the Southern Barbarian Army lost thousands of more sergeants.

Occasionally, if they were lucky enough to be killed by a gun, when they rushed to the front of the battle, they were also pierced through the body by the shield-wielding infantry at the front with sharp spears made of star marrow steel in their hands, and ended up either dead or wounded.

The first platoon of artillery immediately following the infantry again calmly reloaded, opened fire, and killed the Southern Barbarians who were still rushing down the hillside.

But even so, the Southern Barbarians did not stop their charge. They rushed forward one after another, trying to use their flesh and blood to break through the military formation of the Nine Shadows Army.

Suddenly, the drums and horns sounded again in the Nine Shadows Army, and the military flag hunted and waved in the wind. Guarding the two wings, the cavalry couldn't wait for a long time, followed by Xuanshui, who was the first to rush out, and rushed towards the southern barbarian army with swords and spears.

And the Hundred Illusion Butterflies, who had not moved for a long time, also encouraged their wings to fly forward, shuttled and circled the head of the Southern Barbarian Army, aiming at the targets on the ground and shooting their bows in unison.

Xiao Hu stood silently on the battered city wall, looking down at his subordinates going to death one after another, trembling with anger and almost spitting fire in his eyes.

"Blow the horn of retreat. After a moment, he turned around and said to the guards behind him, "Go and release the mountain spiders in the dungeon!"

The guards hurried away, and as he disappeared from the walls, a muffled sound of trumpets rang out from within the walls.

The Southern Barbarian Army, who were rushed to pieces, but were still fighting with the Nine Shadows Army, heard the sound of the horn, and all turned their heads to look at their comrades who were still on the hillside and had not yet come down, and raised the corners of their mouths and smiled slightly, showing a trace of firmness and fearlessness in their eyes.

Xuanshui, who had participated in the Battle of Linglong City, suddenly felt that this look was very familiar. But before he could think about it, those surrounded southern barbarian troops suddenly went berserk, and without retreating, they danced their blades tightly and slammed towards them.

Xuanshui's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered that this was exactly the same as the eyes of those ghost kings who were trapped on the bridge in front of Linglong City that day. At the moment, he didn't dare to be distracted anymore, and he was engrossed in the fight.

When almost all the southern barbarian troops who had not yet descended the mountain had retreated to the front of the pass, dozens of boulders at the foot of the mountain suddenly rumbled, and at the same time rolled forward, revealing a black hole the size of a grinding disc filled with fishy wind.

Then, in the darkness behind the cave entrance, a little green light flickered.
