[602] Mission
With the sound of breaking through the air, the crimson cannonballs spun and shot forward. When Du Ulla blurted out and shouted, "Fight back!" and crashed into the eastern slope of Longju Pass one after another.
The ghost soldiers of the Lei Ze Kingdom have been hiding in the thick fog, waiting until the Nine Shadows Army can't sit still, and when they want to clear the ghost fog and find out, they can calibrate the flint cannon that they have been provided for many days.
Although this type of artillery is backward, it is an invaluable siege weapon for the Razor Kingdom, which is not equipped with muskets and artillery on a large scale.
A flint cannon with a short range cannot reach the top of Mt. Ryukoma, but it can reach the slopes of the mountain halfway up the mountain. In the blink of an eye, the fortifications surrounding the mountain burst into flames in the explosion. Several towers collapsed in the billowing smoke.
Immediately after that, the sound of screams and * was heard on the slopes of the mountain, and before the Nine Shadows Army could recover from its astonishment, they saw a dense array of bows and arrows and stones like locusts shooting out from the vast ghost mist.
Under the explosion and loud bang, the Nine Shadows Army was caught off guard by the ghost soldiers of the Lei Ze Country. In the flames and smoke, through the vast fog, they could not fight back. The ghost soldiers of the Razor Nation can hide in the mist and attack them.
"Artillery fire, targeting every inch of enemy territory to the east of the mountain, firing freely. The angry Du Ullalang roared like an earth-shaking roar.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen heralds rushed downstairs with command flags and passed on her orders one by one.
After a while, there was a continuous roar of "bang bang" on Longju Mountain, and the artillery of the Nine Shadows Army began to fire angrily. When the ghost soldiers of the Lei Ze Kingdom were aiming at the top of the mountain, the well-trained artillery of the Nine Shadows Country also calibrated the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the bottom of the mountain.
The red light shot down the mountain, crashing into the mist like a mud cow into the sea, and then burst into the sky in a shocking explosion.
At the same time, the thunder qilin in the ghost fog soared into the air one after another, and under the flames and smoke of the explosion, people stood up one after another. As their heavy hooves slammed down on the ground, the deafening sound of the hooves echoed across the wilderness.
The thunder qilins who opened their mouths of blood and mouths spewed out thunder and lightning from their mouths, like sharp arrows flying quickly, easily breaking through the fog and rushing straight to Longju Mountain.
This is the reason why Lei Zeguo has been looking for Lei Zeguo many days to do things that are contrary to yang and yin, and the Thunder Qilin cavalry not only has the same flexible and mobile characteristics as other cavalry, but the mount can also spit thunder and lightning to hurt people.
In the blink of an eye, large rocks and dusty chunks of dust on the hillside exploded as thunder and lightning landed. The defensive buildings on the slopes below the mountainside are crumbling one by one, and the walls of the dark fortress are cracking countless times, and there are constantly screaming miserably after being struck by lightning, falling to the ground with smoke all over their bodies, or being split in two by lightning.
There were even lightning strikes that hit the ammunition in the fortifications, causing a wide explosion. Smoke rises from the mountainside to the east, obscuring the sky. Everywhere you can see the flames that are raging in the sky.
In an instant, nearly a thousand ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom died on the hillside, lying among the hot black soil and stones, showing a smile or shock as if they were at home. The body gradually turned into bright red powder.
But the ghost soldiers of the Lei Ze country under the mountain are not comfortable. Although the ghost fog blocked the sight of the Nine Shadows Army, the artillery fire of the Nine Shadows Army was intensive, and the rate of fire was not trivial. After three rounds of shelling, almost every land in the east of the mountain, within a radius of three miles, was turned into pitch black scorched earth.
The strong wind and heat wave brought by the explosion scurried around the land, diluting the ghostly fog, breaking away the confusion, revealing a messy land.
The land was littered with corpses, and flesh and blood that had been shattered into slag could be seen everywhere. There are beast souls, there are human souls, and there are demon souls. There are also broken boards and broken wood that have been washed up on the shore by the current from the stream.
As soon as the fog opened, the vision of the Nine Shadows National Army broadened. The musketeers pulled the bolt of their guns and pulled the trigger.
Zi Gong shot towards the bottom of the mountain, bringing up a swirling air current, piercing through the silk clothes that the ghost soldiers of the Razor Country were proud of.
This kind of robe woven with raw silk spit out by the black-headed yin silkworm, although it is not easy to be penetrated by bows and crossbows and long arrows, it can't stop the Zi Gong of the Nine Shadows Army.
The lightning-fast Zi Gong, like chopsticks poking tofu, pierced the silk clothes without much effort, and then tore the flesh and skin of the ghost soldiers of the Lei Ze Country, and then took the flesh and blood to the other end.
The counterattack of the Nine Shadows Kingdom had just begun, and the thousands of ghost soldiers who had died before had made them extremely angry. The gun in his hand kept shooting at the bullet, and then reloading and aiming at the shot.
Dense cannonballs like locusts and sub-guns bombarded up and down one after another, stirring up waves of fire that rushed to the sky, and also beat the ghost soldiers of the Lei Ze Country on the mountain to a lot of flesh and blood.
The ghost soldiers of the Razor Country, who had suffered heavy losses, did not stop. The war drums roared and the trumpets roared amid the rumbling sounds. The warship sailed along the stream into the foot of Longju Pass, and the Lei Qilin cavalry and elephant soldiers rushed forward and braved artillery fire to attack Longju Pass.
Under the terrible screams and scorching flames, a fierce battle to the death was finally pushed to a climax with the unquenchable anger of the soldiers on both sides.
The trebuchets and crossbows of the Lei Ze Kingdom fired a salvo, and the poisonous fire cannons and falling star cannons of the Nine Shadows Kingdom roared angrily, and you came and went between the heaven and the earth in the small Dragon Horse Mountain.
The lightning flickered, and under the burst of flames, there were constantly ghost soldiers of the Razor Country who were shelling and the flesh was blurred, and there were also ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Country who were divided into two by the thunder and lightning one after another. The soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, and only a blood-red eye was left in their eyes full of hatred.
"The air cavalry and the flying army were dispatched immediately, and the flying thunder vehicles all took off, but they could fight across the border! Kill! Kill every enemy in sight!" Duula, who was trembling with anger, only madness and hatred were left in his eyes, and he pulled out his waist knife and pointed ahead, ignoring the military order, and ordered angrily: "Don't leave any alive, don't leave a single one!" ......
The bright cloudy light passed through the entrance of the Tiankeng of Yuque Mountain and sprinkled into the Yuque Palace below. In the fragrance garden of birds and flowers, among the strange flowers and plants, all kinds of birds and birds make different calls.
The ghost mother is rarely idle, holding flower scissors in a pot of white as snow, from the trunk to the branches to the leaves are snow-white pots of heavy wood to build branches and leaves.
This kind of plant in the underworld is a strange tree that grows somewhere in the underworld because of people's unjust cases. When the unjust case is redressed, the unjust tree that was born in the underworld will die. If it is a time of peace in the world, it is very rare. In recent years, the world has been a lot more peaceful, and there are very few grievances in the underworld. The few grievance trees planted by the ghost mother in the Absolute Fragrance Garden were also obtained hundreds of years ago.
Judging from the fact that those grievance trees have not withered now, those unjust cases in the world have not been rehabilitated so far.
Under her careful care, the tree grows well and is full of life under the leafy branches. The leaves unfurl like snowflakes, but the small black flowers sway with the yin wind, making these grievances black and white, like splashed ink landscape paintings.
Xiao Fuling on the side didn't have the patience to serve the flowers and plants, so she had already run to the cradle in the distance and sat down, looking at her sleeping sister Xiao Fucha in the cradle. From time to time, he would reach out and gently poke his sister's delicate-skinned face with his index finger.
By the time the trees were pruned, it had taken half an hour before I knew it. The ghost mother straightened up, admiring her masterpiece, revealing a look of satisfaction.
She handed the flower scissors to Chenruo, who was waiting on the side, and strode to the pool in the depths of the Absolute Fragrance Garden, and carefully washed her hands with the crystal clear water in this pool.
The mud on the fingertips entered the water, and it was instantly absorbed by the clear water beads embedded in the bottom of the pool, and the pool water was only a little muddy for a while, and then it was clear and bright again.
The ghost mother took the towel handed by Chenruo, wiped the water droplets on the back of her hands and fingertips, and strode towards the side of the case.
The break was over, and she had to review the mountain of notes.
As soon as he walked to the table and sat down, the ghost mother saw a fungus man rushing in from outside the door. The fungus man trotted all the way to the front of the recital and stood still, took off the bamboo tube on his back, and held it above his head with both hands.
Chen Ruo then leaned down, picked up the bamboo tube and handed it to the ghost mother, and waved his hand to signal the fungus man to go down.
The ghost mother opened the sealing wax at the mouth of the bamboo tube, shook out a roll of rolled paper, and unfolded it to take a look. I can only see various combinations of numbers such as one, two, three, five, etc., written on it, and at first glance I can't see anything famous.
This is a kind of secret letter in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the numbers on it are all secret words, which need to be interpreted with the key, and different secret letters, the key is not the same. Knowing all the secret words, what key matches what secret language, there are only a few ghosts in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
The ghost mother just swept the contents of the letter, and knew what key these secret words were with, and said to Chen Ruo: "In the middle of the top grid of the bookshelf on the left, take the "Netherworld Ghost Medicine Encyclopedia" to me." ”。
After Chen Ruo brought her the scroll, the ghost mother flipped through the key according to the secret language.
These numbers are all in groups of six, and others can't understand them, but the ghost mother knows that the last three represent the number of pages, and the first three represent the first few words on that page.
After reading it, the ghost mother had already deciphered the contents of the secret letter: "The Nine Shadows King landed in Twilight County five days later, and the location was Twilight City, and he was burned immediately after reading. ”。
Then the ghost mother, who was secretly happy, quietly put the secret letter into the copper basin brought by Chen Ruo, put the secret letter in it and lit it.
After seeing the secret letter in the brazier, completely turned into white paper ash under the engulfment of flames, he recruited Xiao Fuling in the distance: "Xiao Fuling, come here, I have a task for you." ”。
Chen Ruo walked out of the Juexiang Garden with a brazier very familiarly, and Xiao Lingling also came to the ghost mother.
"Tomorrow morning, you will quietly set out with your guards to meet your father in Dusk City. The ghost mother leaned over slightly, leaned her mouth against her daughter's ear, and whispered: "This matter must not be made quiet, and when you arrive in Duxi City, find Wuqiu Yuan to arrange your food and accommodation." ”。
When Xiao Fuling heard this, her eyes immediately widened, her eyes showed elation and incredulity, and she muttered in a daze, "Is my father finally back?"
"Yes. The ghost mother, who sat up straight, reached out and touched the bangs on her daughter's forehead, and smiled slightly: "Mother handed over this difficult task to you, you have to be careful at all." ”。
