[376] Turning the tide
It was cloudy, and every corner of the basin was shining with sun, but there was still a cold wind in Daoshan City.
The golden eagle didn't have time to stop it, and the excited army rushed into Daoshan City under the command of Dong Meng, who was also unable to suppress his excitement.
Soon, the small city, which was not too big, was lively, and the streets that were still empty were full of ghosts, and for a moment the city of Daoshan suddenly became crowded.
Many Sanmiao warriors also climbed the city wall, facing the cool mountain breeze, and showed a smug smile after planting the flag of the Nine Shadows Country at the head of the city.
One of the soldiers raised his leg and kicked open the door of the house on the side of the road. After a "bang", the door opened, and there was an immediate sound of broken silk threads on the door.
It's just that the city is so noisy that no one hears this little noise.
Then a click came from the door, and a row of finger-thick iron pipes, standing side by side with the mouth facing down, popped out of the door, and immediately spewed out a pungent multicolored smoke.
The Sanmiao warrior standing under the door was just stunned, and he was completely enveloped in smoke in an instant, and then he just took a puff of the smoke, and then he suddenly felt dizzy, and he staggered to the ground, foaming at the mouth during convulsions, and the flesh and skin on his body quickly rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sergeants behind him were stunned, "Poison gas!" they shouted in astonishment and quickly retreated, dodging the multicolored poisonous smoke.
A little slower, in an instant, he was overwhelmed by the poisonous smoke, fell to the ground and convulsed, and then his body festered.
At the same time, the sergeants in the rest of the city proudly kicked open the doors of the houses, not for anything else, but to confirm whether there was any hiding enemy in the houses and courtyards.
But he didn't expect that all the gates in the city were arranged behind the organs, and for a while, the poisoning fog of Daoshan City was everywhere.
Not only that, but when the doors of some houses were pushed open, what followed was not a poisonous fog, but a violent explosion and endless flames.
Others placed repeaters behind the door, and when the door opened, the thin line tied to the trigger was pulled, and the repeater fired arrows in anger, and the sergeant outside the door was immediately riddled with holes.
Under the rumbling and swishing sounds, there were hot wind waves in various parts of the city one after another, and in the bloody blood spray, one after another and heart-rending screams, scattered in Daoshan City, straight up to the sky and clouds.
It turns out that this is not only an empty city, but also an empty city where the Xudu army has laid out organs all over the place.
In the flames and explosions, the hole that had been pestle on the street was instantly stunned. He stood in the middle of the street surrounded by poisonous fog and billowing smoke, staring at him in disbelief.
"Let's go, Deputy General Dongmeng!" rushed forward and pulled up Dongmeng's golden eagle, dragging this deputy general who could only talk on paper to the outside of the city, and shouted to the sergeant next to him: "Blow the retreat call, the whole army withdraws from Daoshan City!"
The sergeant was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that Dongmeng was stunned, his companion died in an instant under countless mechanisms, and hurriedly calmed down and blew the horn in his hand.
"Don't touch all the doors and windows in the city. The roaring golden eagle pulled the cave that was still stunned, and struggled to the city gate.
The poisonous smoke from the triggered mechanism quickly dispersed with the wind, but the hidden tunnels in every house in the city also opened at this time, and the vanished island guards showed hideous and vicious faces, and after pouring out of them, they brandished the swords in their hands to chase and kill the Nine Shadows Army who fled in a hurry.
The defenders roared and rushed, and the spears and swords in their hands swept straight forward, killing hundreds of nine ghost troops.
Now, the Nine Shadows finally know where the defenders in the city have gone!
For thousands of years, although the hell ghost generals on Daoshan Island have not trained much, they have built countless underground tunnels in various towns on the island, which is a secret that even the black and white impermanence brothers do not know.
These tunnels are all connected to each other, scattered like spider webs underground, leading in all directions. After the outbreak of the war, the ghost generals on the island saw that the situation was not good, and after thinking that the Nine Shadows Army would eventually attack Daoshan City, they had a plan, and secretly ordered all the surviving enemy troops to follow these tunnels and gather in the tunnels under Daoshan City to hibernate, waiting for an opportunity to fight the Nine Shadows Army by surprise.
Now the opportunity has come, and they have changed from timid sheep to ferocious wolves in an instant.
The stench grew thicker in the air, and the defenders did not stop killing, but fought more and more bravely. The Nine Shadows Army was scattered all over the city, and it was impossible to concentrate its forces at all. Moreover, what was hidden in the tunnel was the defenders in the entire Daoshan Island, which were far superior in number to the Nine Shadow Army, and for a while, the Nine Shadow Army was only suppressed to the point that they had no chance to fight back.
In the blinding cloudy light, the screams were intertwined with the sound of killing, which was deafening. As far as the eye could see, the sword light and sword shadows flashed everywhere in the Sword Mountain City, and the flesh and blood flew down, and the entire city became a veritable hell.
The golden eagle pulled his eyes wide open, his eyes were full of fear, and he roared loudly as he retreated: "The guards are arrayed!"
At the sound of an order, the human soul guards around them, who were by no means Sanmiao warriors, calmed down one after another, and lined up in a mandarin duck formation. Fight and retreat, killing all the enemy troops who dare to approach the golden eagle.
At this moment, the golden eagle saw that he was about to retreat to the foot of the city gate, and suddenly there were a series of explosions on the wall behind him, which was deafening. Immediately following the collapse of the city wall and the city tower, many of the Jiuyou Kingdom troops who were still at the head of the wall were caught off guard, and fell to the ground with the collapsed city wall in the smoke and dust, and were smashed into meat sauce by no debris.
"Flint cannons?" The golden eagle, who heard the sound of the cannons, suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked out of the city along the tattered doorway, and saw that the northern part of the basin, which was still empty, was now full of majestic island defenders, and assumed that countless flint cannons had been raised, and they had aimed their smoking muzzles at the city wall.
These enemy troops also drilled through the tunnels.
Although the flint cannon is not very powerful, and it can only fight two hundred steps, the walls of Daoshan City are not too hard. Under the continuous bombardment of hundreds of flint cannons, it didn't take long to be full of holes.
The Golden Eagle, who had participated in the raid on Moth Valley and had experienced a hundred battles, knew that once the city walls collapsed, the flint cannons without obstructions could bombard all corners of the city, and the Nine Shadows Army would inevitably be attacked from the front and back.
The golden eagle gritted his teeth fiercely, let go of the already limp Dongmeng, drew the long knife at his waist and roared at the surviving sergeants who were slowly gathering around him: "The cavalry rushed out of the city with me, and the infantry formed a mandarin duck formation in the city to start a street battle with the enemy, be careful not to trigger the mechanism again." ”。
The golden eagle turned over and rode on an ownerless rock fire bear, and without hesitation, rode out of the city.
The warriors of the three seedlings were already brave and good at fighting, like Dong Meng, who was extremely arrogant when they were not fighting, and they were all rare 'rare animals' among their clan when they fought, and although they were all killed by the authorities and the defenders before, they quickly calmed down. In the high and powerful charge, the ghost blood in their bodies also boiled. According to the requirements of the golden eagle, they divided into two groups and began to fight with the enemy.
The bloody swords in the city shimmered with cold light, and the low howls of the two armies rang out in the smoke and dust, and the cavalrymen followed the golden eagles out of the city.
The cavalry was not frightened by the rain of arrows in the sky, and rushed forward with a roar, and the golden eagle holding the long knife did not look back. His eyes burst out with an awe-inspiring murderous aura and shot straight forward. In just a few moments, he had already killed in front of the enemy formation, and rushed straight into the formation without stopping, a burst of swords swirling like the wind and slashing angrily, bringing bursts of blood splashed in the enemy's formation, slashing the enemy who dared to block the way into a ghostly head.
The heart-rending screams continued to resound in the enemy formation, and the cavalry behind him rushed up, and a few warriors continued to charge with beasts even if they were hit by several arrows and were drenched in blood all over their bodies.
When they went forward to fight into the enemy formation one after another, the soldiers defending the island in the enemy formation panicked and did not have time to draw their swords to resist, and they were cut by the Miao knives in the hands of the three Miao warriors, and they screamed miserably.
The Rock Fire Bears were also fierce when they sat down, their sharp teeth bared, and they shimmered in the cloudy light. A few lunges can knock down three or five enemy troops, or slap the enemy to pieces.
The army defending the island consisted only of infantry, and in the absence of machine guns, the infantry was completely restrained by cavalry. In just half a cup of tea, thousands of cavalry rushed the tens of thousands of defenders outside the city, suffering heavy casualties. The basin is full of blood, and there is brutal killing everywhere!
"Leave no one behind!" the red-eyed golden eagle roared and swung his knife forward, and after cutting down the two enemy soldiers around him, he continued to rush forward.
The beasts screamed and the Nine Shadows Army killed the enemy more ruthlessly and bravely, although they were outnumbered by the enemy army, but they could easily divide and surround the enemy army defending the island. The faces of the enemy changed slightly, and they were so panicked that they didn't even have decent resistance.
And in such a favorable battle situation, as a veteran of the Nine Shadows Army and a golden eagle who has fought for many years, he also knows that if he wants to defeat a strong enemy, it is far from enough to fight to the death bravely, and he must capture the thief first and capture the king first. So he fought all the way, and also looked around, looking for the figure of the enemy's commander.
After fighting for a long time, the sharp eyes of the golden eagle finally saw an enemy soldier wearing glittering golden armor in the long fluttering banner and the forest-like sword bush.
Around him, there were twelve ghost soldiers with entangled muscles, holding long knives and round shields, all of them looked around with cold faces, with a faint vigilance in their eyes.
At first glance, the golden eagle immediately guessed that it was the boss, and shouted without hesitation: "Warriors come with me!"
The ten horsemen around him immediately killed, and followed the golden eagle towards the enemy in golden armor.
The golden eagle that rushed to the front laughed angrily, and the long knife in his hand danced wildly. The enemy troops around him were in chaos, and they were killed by the golden eagles one after another in the midst of the exclamation.
He must kill the enemy general in the midst of the army and obtain the opponent's head to turn the tide!
His bravery was seen by all the Sanmiao warriors, and he was no longer unconvinced. So they killed one after another, and after the round with the golden eagle, they fought towards the enemy general.
In a panic, the enemy army also hurriedly recruited a lot of sergeants to stop in front of the golden-armored enemy general, trying to block the charge of the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom with their flesh and blood.
But under the sharp knife of the cold light, all of them ended up in different places or were cut open by the long knife, revealing the tragic state of the bloody heart.
The enemy troops who dared to stand in the way fell one by one, and the golden eagle got closer and closer to the enemy general who was slowly retreating.
After a while, the golden eagle covered in ghost blood like the birth of Shura killed in front of the enemy general, slashed left and right, slashed the knife and swirled, and after killing three enemy soldiers in succession, he shouted angrily to the enemy general: "The dog is here!"
