Chapter Eighty-Four: Jiashen Lingguan
On the other side, a great battle broke out in Kuju Castle in Ichishi County.
The battle was so fierce that the castle was almost completely in ruins.
This ruin was not caused by arson after the war, but was mutilated by artillery.
Qingwei Zhenren does not like to use artillery groups separately, since it is a "group", then it is necessary to concentrate, just like the platoon tactics of firearms, with dense formations to increase the hit rate, forming an all-round suppression, so that the enemy in various bunkers can not raise their heads at all, let alone return fire.
Therefore, more than 1,000 artillery pieces brought by Daomen were placed outside the city of Jiuju.
More than 20 crane boats swooped down and threw the "Phoenix Eye Jialiu" into the city, igniting a raging fire, and 800 heavy artillery pieces turned the frontal battlefield nearly 50 miles wide on the east side of the city into a sea of fire.
The roar was incessant, many people were so deaf in the constant and uninterrupted loud noise that they needed to shout loudly to make themselves or those who were close at hand barely audible what they were saying, the air was filled with a strong and pungent smell of gunsmoke, the glass windows were shattered in the strong sound waves, the glass shards poured down, the wooden houses shook even if they were lucky not to be ignited, the beams and pillars creaked as if they were about to collapse at any moment, The smoke that filled the sky made the sun and moon dull.
The Jiashen Lingguan, who was in charge of commanding the battlefield here, raised the clairvoyant mirror, and the scene of fierce battle appeared in the clairvoyant mirror, he did not put down his armor, under the helmet was a Bai Zhe's face, two sword eyebrows were raised high, and there was no violence or anger in his two eyes, only calm like water.
There is thunder in the chest and the face is like a quiet lake, but you can worship the general.
In fact, the Yipin Lingguan is the general of the Daomen, but the Taoist priests who exist as civil officials hold the power, and the spiritual officials can only be subordinate.
However, this does not affect the transcendent status of the first-grade spirit officer, and in the specific command of the battle, the Taoist priests do not interfere too much, and they are more handed over to the high-grade spirit officers who specialize in the art industry.
The twelve first-grade spirit officials are divided into six Ding Liujia, and the six six Ding spirit officials are in charge, sitting in various places, acting as gatekeepers, such as Ding Wei Lingguan, she is sitting in Fenglinzhou Daofu, so she also participated in this battle as a defensive spirit officer.
In the past thirty years, there have been a total of three records of dispatching first-grade spirit officials, the most recent of which was a first-grade naïve Taoist priest and two first-grade spirit officials who attacked Wuluo's divine kingdom.
Jiashen Lingguan is a battlefield general, and the recent war in the Western Regions was led by Jiashen Lingguan. This time, he was ordered to lead his troops into Fenglin Continent to fight.
Such a high-grade spiritual official does not belong to the Three Realms, but belongs to the Zixiao Palace, and is the same as the Great Palm Sect that is independent of the Three Realms, and only obeys the orders of the Great Palm Sect, which is also the key to the Three Realms competing for the position of the Great Palm Sect. Now that the Great Palm Sect is hanging in the air, they obey Jin Que's dispatch and orders.
Jiashen Lingguan turned a blind eye to the landslide-like artillery fire and the large amount of death and blood in the clairvoyant mirror, and a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
In his opinion, such a war is quite boring, like an adult strong man bullying a minor child.
At first, the city's Ronin organized an attack and pounced on it like a tidal wave, but soon retreated under heavy artillery fire, leaving behind a bloody corpse and a wriggling and wailing dying man.
After that, the Ronin never dared to show their heads again.
This made Jiashen Lingguan even have a bold idea to break the city without casualties and give these Japanese people a little shock.
Soon, the continuous sound of artillery came to an end, and the artillery began to cool down.
Then it was the turn of the Fang Shi Camp to appear, and more than 300 Fang Shi formed a formation and began to cast spells together.
I saw that a large thundercloud appeared in the sky above the city of Jiuju, covering the sky and the sun, completely enveloping the entire city of Jiuju, and then countless thunderbolts fell from the thunderclouds, looking from a distance, it seemed to be a blue-purple forest composed of thunder and lightning, and after landing, it seemed to be a huge thorn bush that wrapped the entire city.
Razers swim away, electric sparks fly.
Thunderbolt is more pervasive than artillery, and many Ronin are hidden in underground bunkers
It was not killed or shocked by artillery, but it was turned into a charred corpse by the lightning that swam around.
Jiashen Lingguan's face was still expressionless.
Tzu is not in charge of the army.
It's not about being a murderer.
Rather, when you arrive on the battlefield, whether you are on the battlefield or on the other hand, it is just a number.
For the generals, they should look down on life and death. For generals, life and death on the battlefield is a number, without emotion, it is a cost that generals consider when commanding, and there is no other meaning.
Generals are to be calm to the point of bordering on ruthlessness.
As for how to compensate and settle the casualties, how to deal with the prisoners, and whether it is humane or not, it is not within the scope of consideration in commanding the operation, it is a matter for the whole Daomen, or rather, it is a matter for civilian officials.
Li Zhuyu was standing beside Jiashen Lingguan at this time, looking at his focused side face.
In Li Zhuyu's opinion, this first-class spiritual official who came out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain is by no means different from those sons who have risen to a high position by nepotism, and the calmness and self-confidence established by the battlefield for a long time are incomparable to young people such as Li Changge and Qi Xuansu. This has nothing to do with talent and family background, but is a precipitation of experience.
Jiashen Lingguan ignored this real woman in charge of the army, but silently calculated the consumption of ammunition, issued instructions with the "Sound Transmission Array", readjusted the configuration of heavy firearms, coordinated the coordination of the "Crane Boat" and the artillery, rearranged the coverage direction of the artillery group, and the coordination between the Xuanjia heavy cavalry and the infantry detachment, and then waited until the spell casting of the Fang Shi Battalion was over, and then ordered to attack.
A new round of aerial bombardment and heavy artillery bombardment began, as if to completely blow up the entire city of Jiuju, and the city walls had already been reduced to ruins under the effect of the "ground movement" spell of the Fang Shi Battalion, and at this time they were drowned in fire and smoke.
More than fifty heavy horsemen marched forward at an unhurried pace, and behind the heavy cavalry were large groups of infantry, clad in light armor and armed with firearms.
At this moment, the entire city erupted with bright light.
It was as if a blazing sun was rising.
A dazzling white light flooded everything.
Even Jiashen Lingguan had a short period of blindness.
After a moment, the white light slowly dissipated.
Everything was gone, and the Darkarmor Heavy Rider and the Man in Black who were in charge of the attack were gone, as if they had never existed.
Jiashen Lingguan's sword eyebrows twitched slightly.
The priest corps of Ise Jingu finally entered the battlefield, and he was reimbursed for more than fifty Xuanjia heavy cavalry at one time, which was a big loss, and it also completely frustrated his idea of breaking the city without injury.
It was at this time that Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu came to the headquarters of Jiashen Lingguan.
Li Zhuyu had already gotten the news - in fact, the reason why she appeared here was precisely because she took on the temporary position of liaison officer, and the Qingwei Zhenren, who sat in the center and strategized, had to establish the most direct contact with every general who led the army alone, and the Qingwei Zhenren would not easily interfere with the command, but he wanted to know the most real situation on the front line.
Li Zhuyu quietly left the command post, came outside to see Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, and after a little greeting, he led the two to see Jiashen Lingguan.
Jiashen Lingguan finally put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and turned to look at the two of them: "I have admired the two daimyo for a long time, are the two of you here to gild the melee this time?"
This was said quite politely, and even a little provocatively.
However, after Qi Xuansu's experience in the past few years, he also has a bit of a city government, and after hearing this, he only raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Your Excellency said yes, that is."
Zhang Yuelu was calm and not shocked.
Although Li Zhuyu admired Jia Shen Lingguan very much, he still expressed some dissatisfaction in a timely manner: "This is the decision of the real person in charge of the army."
"Since it was the decision of the real person in charge of the army, I have nothing to say." Jia Shen Lingguan said, "I don't care if the two of you are here to fight and gild, or if you really have the intention of going into battle to kill the enemy, I won't take special care of the two of you." :
Zhang Yuelu said calmly, "You don't need to take special care of it."
Jiashen Lingguan nodded: "Very good, there is a problem that needs to be solved urgently, Jiuju City has been abolished, I am sure, more than half of the Dao Langshi in it have been killed and injured, but there is also a priest group of Ise Shrine in the city, I don't want to use the lives of soldiers to consume the divine power of the Divine Officer, that is too cost-effective, we are already small in number, and we are fighting in different places, so it is not easy to do large-scale exchanges, so can you two help me solve this priest group hiding in the city for a long time?"
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu glanced at each other.
This is actually expected by the two, the reason why Qingwei Zhenren sent the two of them over was definitely not to let the two of them die, just made a fuss about Zhang Quanquan, forcing Li Changge to stay away from the Fenglinzhou battlefield, this should have been a great opportunity for Li Changge to make a contribution, which is equivalent to sacrificing Li Changge's career progress to calm down the matter.
If you put Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu in again, it will force the Zhang family and the Li family to go to war, after all, the successor is gone, the future is bleak, and you don't care about the overall situation, don't take advantage of the fact that the Li family is trapped in the Fenglinzhou battlefield and the Zhang family is still alive to fight, do you wait until the Li family withdraws from the Fenglinzhou battlefield and the Zhang family is not connected?
Of course, Qingwei Zhenren did not let the two of them command and dispatch, both of them are Taoist priests, if they are in charge, they are naturally indispensable to the words and deeds of many division commanders, and the two of them also have a lot of experience. But when it comes to leading the army to fight, it is a complete layman. Therefore, Qingwei Zhenren took a fancy to the realm cultivation of the two of them, and the two of them together also had an immortal object, which could almost be used as celestials in the creation stage, which could play the effect of a miracle soldier.
Zhang Yuelu nodded and said, "Yes, but we need to know the general situation in the city."
