【283】Infiltrate the capital
In an instant, the valley was full of flames, like a fiery hell.
And the defenders in the pass are not much better, they have been killed and wounded by the previous attack of poisonous snakes and rockets.
The fire on the plank rope bridge was extinguished, but it had broken in many places, and when the soldiers at the pass eradicated the poisonous snakes that had ejected into the pass, only more than 10,000 ghosts survived. And the dock fort standing in the valley was also broken by the mountain ghosts with bare hands, turning into a ruined wall and rubble and rubble.
The Qubu militia guarding the dock fort lost the cover of the fortifications, so they had to brave the scorching heat, raise their blades, and roar forward one after another, and launched a desperate hand-to-hand fight with the mountain ghosts who were infinitely powerful and tall and burly.
The heat wave was high, the flames were pressing, and the sound of killing was deafening.
Most of the Qubu militia were either twisted up by the mountain ghosts with their thick and powerful arms, like eagles catching chickens, thrown into the air and fell to their deaths, or were trampled on by the huge feet of the mountain ghosts.
Even so, none of the Nine Shadows army retreated or frightened, they knew very well that they were facing a powerful iron army, an army of mountain ghosts with the soul of the most brave and warlike people! But they also knew that if they were afraid and ran away, their families who lived and worked in peace and contentment on the land behind them would usher in a catastrophe.
The only way to defeat the invaders is to kill them all!
This was the day they joined the Nine Shadows Army, and it was a hard truth that had been ingrained in their hearts.
Therefore, even if they were just ordinary souls, watching their companions being trampled into severed flesh, even if the enemy in front of them was tall enough to cast a huge figure and envelop them, they still resolutely puffed up their chests and forged forward.
Many of the Qubu were already bleeding all over, but they still endured the pain, and some of the Jiuyou National Army on the plank road on the rock wall also did not hesitate to raise their guns to aim at the mountain ghosts in the valley, and shot one after another, covering the Qubu to kill the enemy.
And some of the places in the valley where the fierce fire oil failed to flow are still safe and sound. The surviving enemy troops also quickly retreated to these corners, and despite the fierce flames, they continued to attack the pass.
Another group of venomous snakes, on the arm of the snake bone woman who raised their fingers to the plank road or rope bridge, curled up their slender snake bodies, paused and then jumped up the cliff with a catapult.
There was still a constant influx of enemy troops at the mouth of the valley, and endless snakes and mountain ghosts, armed with weapons such as steel forks, crossbows, and scimitars, crossed the wall of fire and poured straight into the valley.
The dust was billowing and the enemy army was driving the poisonous snake to attack, while drawing the bow and aiming at the Jiuyou National Army on the pass.
Platinum turned a deaf ear to the killing noises and screams around him, his eyes looking left and right, searching for the enemy commander in the flames.
He knew that the greater the flames, the faster the consumption of the fierce fire oil, and before the flames were completely extinguished, he had to find the enemy commander and capture the king later, so that the enemy army was in chaos, then they still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.
But he searched for a long time, except for the endless snake bone woman, the strong mountain ghost, and the unicorn mountain ghost, he didn't even see half of the boss's figure.
Most of the Hercules and Unicorn ghosts in the valley have taken local materials, picked up many rocks the size of millstones on the ground, lifted them above their heads, and smashed them at the rope bridges in the middle of the valley.
Dozens of boulders whistled in the wind, leaping over or under the rope bridges, causing the defenders to dodge in panic.
One, two, three...... Ten, eleven, and then the twelfth boulder flew and finally slammed into one of the rope bridges.
When the rope bridge swayed left and right, the boulders shattered, and the bridge railing composed of iron chains also cracked. Then came the second, then the third, and when the fourth boulder struck, the rope bridge, which had been swaying continuously, suddenly split in two and swung towards the cliffs on either side.
The defenders on the bridge, who had not had time to evacuate, either crashed into the mountain wall together with the disconnected bridge body, spurted blood from their mouths and noses and died, or fell from mid-air into the sea of fire at the bottom of the valley.
At this moment, another sonorous horn sounded from the valley mouth, followed by hundreds of elephant troops. On the neck of the elephant is a hundred tigers with a range of up to 300 paces and a hundred arrows at a time.
Desperation crept up to the top of the brow of Platinum, a rocket of great power and lethality, second only to artillery in the underworld.
Its arrow was still black and shiny in the blood-red sunset, and at a glance, Platinum recognized that it was a soul-destroying arrow cast from Broken Soul Iron.
When the enemy calibrated the white tiger and rushed together, the casualties of the defenders were inevitably immeasurable, and Platinum did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly recruited the standard-bearer.
"Beware of the Soul Exterminating Arrow!" Just as he roared to the ground, about to get the standard-bearer to give an order, ordering the army to hurry to find cover, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a white elephant appear in the elephant army. Its skin is as white as snow, and it stands out.
The white elephant immediately attracted Platinum's attention, and he turned his head to look, and saw a snake bone woman with white hair and a wrinkled face sitting on the elephant's back.
Although he is old, the other party is not weak, and his face is still ruddy except for too many wrinkles. Dressed in a heavy mountain armor with golden light, he still doesn't feel struggling.
"Enemy commander!" these four words flashed through Platinum's mind, and blurted out to the standard-bearer: "Launch an air attack." ”。
The standard-bearer received the order, threw the command flag in his hand, took a ringing arrow from his waist, and raised it to the sky.
A small fireball rose into the air, and brilliant fireworks bloomed over the valley top.
Both the attackers and the defenders stopped for a moment, looked up in shock, and then ignored it and continued to fight.
A dragon's roar came from the fiery clouds above them, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the enemy was stunned, and when they raised their eyes again to the sky, they saw hundreds of empty horsemen suddenly scurry out of the orange clouds in the sky.
Some of them rode the fire unicorn, some rode Bai Ze, and the young general led by him was actually riding an emerald green dragon, which was Zuo Fan who went to the sky as soon as it opened.
Accompanying this group of air cavalry were hundreds of feather people and the head people.
The snake bone Po who was sitting on the white elephant was startled and shouted to the elephant cavalry beside him: "Prepare for air defense!"
At the same time, Bai Jin, who was standing on the rope bridge and trembled with excitement, also waved his sword and pointed at the white elephant, and shouted angrily at his flying army: "Attack that white elephant and the old snake bone woman!"
At the sound of an order, several squirters swooped down from the sky and threw the sky-shattering thunder ignited in their hands around the white elephant. The feathered people who followed also took the fire dragon in their hands out of the water and aimed it at the elephant soldiers.
The artillery bombardment on the cliff continued, and explosions continued to fall from the air, roaring and shaking, and the earth shook; even if the war elephants were as thick as armor and resistant to beatings, they could not escape the price of bringing a piece of flesh and blood in the explosion.
Many elephants were blown up by the violent explosion, and their limbs were blurred by the violent explosion, and one of them stumbled to the ground, crushing the enemy troops around them.
At this moment, there was not much fire oil left at the bottom of the valley, and the scope of the sea of fire was gradually shrinking, but the explosions continued to occur, and even though the war elephants had been trained, they could not help but panic and no longer listen to the commanders of the riders, and they went on a rampage without purpose, completely unable to carry out air defense.
Taking advantage of the weakness, the Flying Celestial Army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom ignited the cannonball in their hands and threw it at them, and then spun sharply in the air, avoiding the surrounding enemy forces with their bloody blades after the explosion.
The white elephant was quite calm, and there was not much panic except for stepping on his feet, and under the command of the old snake woman, he turned around calmly and was about to withdraw from the valley.
Seeing this, a fool couldn't help but say, swooped down from the air towards it, and when he approached, he ignited the earth-shaking thunder in his hand one after another, threw it at the feet of the white elephant's belly, and spread his wings to the sky again.
When the people reached into the sky, there was already a fire around the white elephant that rose with the explosion.
In an instant, the fiery elephant flesh splattered in all directions, and the old snake bone woman was also lifted high by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and the enemy's face changed when they saw this, and they watched the commander who flew into the sky spitting blood, and their eyes were full of horror.
Immediately afterwards, they blew up the pot and tacitly retreated in panic towards the road they came. Ignoring their boss, who had fallen from the sky and stumbled on a boulder in the valley, his bones shattered.
"Kill!" Platinum shouted at the right time, raising his sword to kill the rope bridge. The horn of the counterattack was blown, echoing in the valley.
The feathered people continued to drop their bombs, and the head of the man had already drawn his crossbow and began to strafe the scattered enemy troops from high in the air.
Zuo Fan descended from the sky, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand was full of cold light, and he slashed several enemies in three or five strokes;
The smell of blood, which had not dissipated from the valley, was a little heavier at this time.
The red-eyed Nine Shadows army was greatly boosted, raised their swords and slaughtered down the cliff, chasing the remnants of the enemy army in the valley.
There was no earth-shattering shouting of killing, but whenever they caught up with the enemy, the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom would be a knife without saying a word, only the desolate and terrible screams kept ringing out, echoing in the mountains one after another......
After sailing on the sea with her three disciples for more than a month, Ying Ying dressed up as a little daughter-in-law and maid who had returned to her mother's house, and set foot on Liutianzhou.
A mile away from the capital, there were already Xuanjiao disciples dressed as pawns of peddlers, waiting on the side of the road.
Ying Ying noticed that she stepped forward on a deer ride and said to the peddler's pawn, "Is it the housekeeper Lao Li?"
"Exactly, the second lady has worked hard. The disciple's answer was like a stream, word for word, and Ying Ying bowed slightly, and had already taken out the national teacher's waist card.
The disciple looked at it, his face suddenly became respectful, and he hurriedly looked left and right, and after seeing that there were no ghosts around, he bowed, and said in a low voice: "National teacher, please come with me, I will take you to sneak into the capital." ”。
