[764] Thousand Miles Chariot
Under the bright afternoon sun, the originally calm sea surface has become turbulent at this moment.
Xiao Shizhu has already combined the design of the human submarine carrying* and the water avoidance charm provided by Su Tianju on the boat of Rongbo.
In this way, there is what the Ahuizotl sees in front of me at this time.
Although the Nine Shadows Country's Wave Reduction Ship can't be launched in the sea like a human submarine*. However, according to his request, the craftsman of the Ordnance Supervision of the Nine Shadows Kingdom has studied the technique of letting the Falling Wave Boat float to the sea, and after opening the magazine, it is still possible to shoot out a falling star cannon like *.
The Water Avoidance Charm also prevents the sea water from flowing backwards into the Wave Ship when the magazine is opened.
In the supply fleet of the Northern Yin Dynasty, which was blocked by the Wave Boat, the flames that rose continuously were dazzling, and thick smoke rose up, turning the originally clear and clear sky above their heads into a gray cloud.
The vanguard army at the front of the fleet was all composed of warships that were small in size and slender in hull, and they could not withstand the bombardment of the Nine Shadows Kingdom's falling star cannons at all.
As long as the Falling Star Cannon can hit the middle of the deck of the ship, the violent explosion it carries can split the hull of these clippers in two.
Moreover, the Falling Wave Boat of the Nine Shadows Country carries a new type of Falling Star Cannon, and the concept of the Poison Fire God Cannon is added to the cannonball, so that when the cannonball explodes, it can immediately burst out of the Dao Flames, instantly burning the place where it passes until only a piece of scorched black remains.
The warships in the vanguard of the Northern Yin Water Division, when they exploded and broke into two, the front and back of the deck were already covered with spreading flames. Before it broke and fell, the mast that was already standing was full of flames, and soon the sails hanging high on the mast were set on fire.
Vast expanses of fire ash and burning canvas fell with them.
For a while, the sea surface of this sea area where the Northern Yin Water Division was located became a flaming hell. Heart-rending screams and the loud sound of shells exploding rose in the sea breeze along with the thick smoke, resounding between the sea and the sky.
Beside the flames in the thick smoke, the ape who got up from the bow of the flagship looked sluggish, and his ears were ringing in the ears. He looked around with wide eyes, but everything was still a little blurry.
In the surrounding firelight, the Xudu army scattered and fled, there were no ghost soldiers to extinguish the fire and no ghost soldiers to rescue the wounded, and all the warships were in chaos.
The Ahuizotl, who stood up staggeringly, tilted his head, reached out and plucked out his ear, grabbed the herald who was still dazed beside him, and shouted loudly: "Blow the trumpet, * attack!"
The sudden shelling had already scared the heralds of the Xudu Army into silly. It's better to be caught by the water ape and come to his senses, but when he heard an inexplicable order, he was stunned again and didn't say a word.
"Blow the trumpet to attack!" said the Ahuizotlus roared again at the sound of the cannons.
In today's battle situation, it seems that the Northern Yin Water Division has the upper hand, and the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is dense, but what is blocking their way is only a few dozen waves of boats, as long as the warships move, hundreds of large and small warships will rush forward together, and they can still rush out.
This is also the only way that Ahuizotl can think of in this situation. He believed that although the dozen or so boats were huge, they would never dare to collide with the menacing warships one after another.
The artillery fire was still roaring, the sea was still churning, and the screams and screams were still rising with the smoke and flames on the swaying and trembling warships. And the herald who was caught by the water ape was already stunned.
"Smack!"
In a hurry, the water ape raised his hand without hesitation and gave the herald a crisp and resounding slap in the face. After beating the herald's head, he also reacted.
"Blow, attack!" Ahuizotl roared at the herald in the midst of the deafening sound of the cannon.
The herald nodded, frantically removed the horn from his waist, puffed out his cheeks and blew hard. Amid the roaring cannons, a high-pitched trumpet sounded in the thick smoke.
The horn sounded here, and the Nine Shadows Water Division stopped the shelling. Dozens of boats that were still floating on the surface of the sea have covered their magazines and slowly sank into the sea.
Although the shelling stopped, the chaos of the Beiyin Water Division did not stop. Nine times out of ten, the warships in front of the fleet have sunk, and the rest are floating on the sea, but they are covered in flames and riddled with holes in the shelling.
The smoky fire burned down the gray-faced Ahuizotl, raising his eyes through the smoke of the flames, frowning and staring into the distance ahead. On the messy sea, the waves are still surging with the wind, but there is no trace of those Nine Shadows Country falling into the waves.
As if they had never appeared, they disappeared without a trace in front of the eyes of the Beiyin Water Division and the Xudu Army.
But the experienced Ahuizotl smelled the smell of the trees wanting to be quiet and the wind not stopping from the pungent smoke and thick bloody sea breeze.
Sure enough, just after he had been looking at it for a long time, on the sea in front of the fleet, left and right, southeast and southwest, there was a sound of "Boom, boom!" The drum suddenly sounded, like a burst of thunder, shaking the sky and the earth, resounding through the sky.
As the drums of this rainstorm continued to come, the sea around the warships of the Northern Yin Water Division kept trembling, and the dark clouds slowly gathered and converged on the bow of this Northern Yin Water Division. In an instant, the sky was dark, and the beast spirits on the warship stepped on their hooves, and they roared or screamed in a rage.
There was fear and panic in his voice.
"Kui Niu Drum?" looked up at the thicker and darker clouds in the air, and the lower the clouds, the water ape looked around again, and those air cavalry, the irritable beast soul mounts, immediately thought of the Kui Niu Drum.
The one-legged green bull beast soul in the middle of the belly is a rare animal even in a world like the Netherworld, where there are many rare beasts like stars. It is native to the country of Razor, and can only live in the country of Razor. But the Razor Country no longer exists, and now it is the Razor County of the Nine Shadows Country.
And the technique of making a drum out of this beast soul skin and making a drumstick from the bones of a thunder beast is unique to the bear country. Although there is a bear country that no longer exists in the ghost country, it is not a ghost country that was conquered and died out by the Nine Shadows Country, but the princess and the princess in the country did escape to the Nine Shadows Country;
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Nine Shadows Kingdom has the technology of Kui Niu Drum. And when this drum is struck, the drum sound resounded hundreds of miles away, and the sound was like muffled thunder, which could attract dark clouds to cover the sky above the place where the drum was recalled. The sound of the drum was enough to terrify most of the beast souls and some timid human souls and demon souls in the underworld.
That's when the drum beats, it's a dark cloud. And the beast souls on the battleship of the Northern Yin Water Division all roared and panicked.
Just when this wave of unsettled waves rose again, the eyes of the water ape finally showed panic and fear. He saw the southeast and southwest directions where the thunder came, and at some point Lin Libai Fan rushed out of the sea level and into the eyes of the water ape.
In the blink of an eye, those large and small warships under the sails were riding the wind and waves, galloping towards the side of the water ape. On the top of each mast pointing straight to the sky, a bright flower flag of the other side is hung high.
It was the sailor fleet of the Nine Shadows Country.
The drums were still beating, and the mighty Nine Shadows Fleet was getting closer and closer. The Ahuizotl could even clearly see that on the deck of the warships of the vanguard fleet, the guns that had been erected were aimed at the Beiyin Water Division in the darkness under the dark clouds......
"Boom!"
In the sky above the inaccessible mountain forest south of Jiuquan Valley, when the dazzling thunder in the heavy dark clouds flashed, the roaring thunder fell with the raindrops the size of beans and the wind, drenching the entire mountain forest.
The dense trees are also dripping with water, and the droplets of water continue to gather among the branches and leaves on the canopy, and continue to fall, wetting the mountain land full of fallen leaves and intertwined roots.
Xiao Shizhu, who was wearing a hat and a robe, took a few ghost soldiers away from the large army and quietly sneaked towards the northern foothills.
Along the way, there were no ghost soldiers from the mountain search. Those ghost soldiers had already been attacked by Xiao Shizhu's design and led deeper into the mountains and forests. At this time, he was still in the dense forest in the mountains, spinning around with raindrops.
And this dense forest is the best barrier for Xiao Shizhu and them, not only can they trap and get rid of the ghost soldiers of the mountain with the help of complex terrain, but also can effectively hide their traces. In addition, it was raining heavily at this time, which was more conducive to them to hide their traces. Even the thick fallen leaves on the ground can better hide their footprints.
A group of ghosts walked silently through the woods, and there was a killing wind in their ears, whistling through the perennially lush, verdant jungle around them, bringing a burst of coolness.
Suddenly, Xiao Shizhu stopped on the hillside, almost approaching the foot of the mountain, raised his hand and clenched a fist above his head, and the ghosts behind him stopped one after another.
In the vast sky, another earth-shaking thunderclap fell from the sky.
Xiao Shizhu raised his eyes through the forest and looked down the mountain in the distance. The sky and the earth below the mountain were gray, and silky rain swayed in the wind, soaking the land.
The foot of this mountain has also been surrounded by the ghost soldiers of Xudu, and the tents in the military camp built are hundreds of miles across and surrounded at the bottom of the mountain. Xiao Shizhu looked at it for a long time, and found that in the large camp where the rain was blowing, there were many chariots patrolling back and forth between the towers and tents. It was very different from the chariots he had seen before, the carriages of these cars were one foot two feet long and five feet high, with four wheels on the outside and two wheels on the inside, cannons on the head and tail, and other firearms on both sides.
Visually, these iron cars were all two feet high, about three inches thick, and five feet wide, leaving deep car marks on the muddy ground.
At this moment, Xiao Shizhu seemed to see cars.
It's been many years since he's been gone, and the car is almost forgotten. In the past, the cars running on the land that he saw in the Netherworld were all pulled by the beast soul, like this kind of car without the traction power of the beast soul, after he arrived in this other world, it was the first time he saw it, and he couldn't help but be a little excited and excited.
He hurriedly beckoned behind him, and Ke Yun walked up and stood beside him. Xiao Shizhu gently picked up the vines hanging in front of him, pointed from the vines with one hand to the iron carts under the mountain, and asked Ke Yun under the cover of wind and rain: "Do you know that thing?"
Ke Yun followed the direction of his finger and looked at it, saw three iron chariots lined up and patrolling in the camp, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is a thousand-mile chariot, a weapon on the land in our Yellow Springs." ”。
"Don't you need to be guided by the beast soul?" Xiao Shizhu asked again.
"No, you can shake the wheel struts in the car to make the wheels turn. Ke Yun seems to know a lot about this kind of chariot.
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he frowned slightly, and asked in the wind and rain: "Then we are in the holy land, why haven't we seen you use this kind of car?"
"The gears in this kind of car, as well as the flywheel driven by the gears, all need Qingluan steel, and there is no Qingluan steel in the south of Huangquan. Ke Yun didn't hesitate, and said immediately.
