[659] Persistence
In the area of Weishan City, the moment the ghost fire pills landed, they fell into silence.
The wind stopped, time stopped, and there was no sound between heaven and earth.
The next second later, red mangs exploded all over the city, and red mangs overflowed and rose. The scorching heat, with red tongues of fire swaying in the hot wind, distorted the surrounding landscape.
After the Yin Fire that landed on the ground broke out of the skin of the Ghost Fire Pill, only crimson remained. The red eyes formed a sea of fire and spread out in the city.
The crimson flames, the raging heatwaves, and the howling winds all swelled and roared in the city. The flames rose, the smoke rose everywhere, and many of the ground troops of the Nine Shadows Army who failed to react, and the ghost people in the city who failed to retreat to the tunnels, most of them were full of pain the moment the sea of fire suddenly appeared, struggling in the flames, and gradually turned into ashes.
In the fierce sea of fire, under the raging and tumbling waves, they did not even have a chance to escape and struggle, but could only silently feel the pain caused by the burn, and slowly died.
Under the yin fire, the city below the mountainside is full of red streets, hot winds and hot waves. And the houses are all covered in flames and crumbling.
Flames burst through the doors and windows of the house and poured into the house, igniting everything in the house.
There is not a single house that is not engulfed in flames, and not a single street that is not covered in flames.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the Falling Star Cannon erected in the west of the city, which is still on the high city wall beyond the reach of the flames, and the ghosts who are proficient in ghost and god arts, spread out an enchantment to protect these cannons and cannonballs in it, and they have not been injured by the Ghost Fire Pill for the time being.
But halfway up the mountain to the city at the foot of the mountain, it was overwhelmed by the flames, and it was shocking. Half of the city had been engulfed in scorching flames, and all that remained was the crimson of the flames.
Standing on the west wall of the city, Hei Wuchang clenched his fists with all his might, letting his fingertips sink deep into his palms. His hands trembled as he looked at the flames in the city through the heat, and his face looked even more hideous as the veins on his forehead burst out.
The air troops of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the air couldn't help but stop, and they were suspended in mid-air, invariably overlooking the land full of flames under their feet, all of them were terrified.
Even if the heat wave and scorching wind on the ground continued to rise, setting off waves of heat between heaven and earth, the troops of the Nine Shadows still looked at the sea of fire, and their whole body trembled.
In recent years, the Jiuyou National Army has almost no opponents, and it is not a good thing. This made the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom more or less lack the ability to resist attacks.
Once they face an opponent who is stronger than them and bring them serious damage, even if the defeat is not yet decided, the Nine Ghost Army, which has always only won battles, will always have some ghost soldiers who can't help but be timid.
Fear, most of the ghost soldiers began to be a little disappointed. It should be said that they are all in the depths of their hearts, burning a trace of despair.
The power of the Ghost Fire Pill was so powerful that it could destroy everything in an instant, which made most of them feel uneasy at the first glance, which is also human nature. And these terrified ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom all widened their eyes under the erosion of fear, and when they watched the vast sea of fire flowing across the city, they had the idea of giving up resistance and retreating.
"Hehehehe, the other party actually has such a powerful weapon, it can instantly spread a sea of fire on the ground, and the unbridled flames can turn us into ashes in an instant, it is really a terrifying weapon. One of the ghost soldiers, showing bitterness and helplessness on his face, clenched the five fingers of the fire dragon spear in his hand, loosened slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, how to fight this, and how to resist?"
His words, like a very contagious plague, soon spread with desperation. Most of the Nine Shadows Army in the air were echoed by his bitter laughter, showing a faint despair on their faces.
For the Guanyue Cha and the Firmament Army opposite them, they were not in a hurry to fight back, but they were all calm, admiring the increasingly heavy despair on the faces of the Nine Shadows Army, and their eyes were filled with pride.
The Firmament Army, like the Xudu Army, as well as the Xuandi Army, and the Emperor Xudu Emperor, are all a virtue. They like to appreciate each other's desperation before killing each other. And then when these ghosts are desperate, they do not hesitate to kill them.
"Don't give up!" Just when most of the ghost soldiers of the Nine Ghost Army's air force were already shaken, a reggae with a sparse white beard growing on his jaw suddenly pulled the bolt of the fire dragon gun in his hand.
The reggae looked straight at the enemy in front of him with a determined face and anger in his eyes. He is one of the few ghost soldiers in the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who does not have despair.
The click of the bolt of the gun was piercing in the echo of his voice, and the Nine Ghost Army, who wanted to give up, couldn't help but be stunned, and their attention was focused on him.
"Don't give up, even if you die to the last ghost, you have to fight. The reggae raised his spear and aimed at a firmament army in front of him, and continued to roar in a loud and powerful voice: "Anyway, they will slaughter us, and it is better to die in their nests, than to fight to the death, so that they can face the ghost people we want to protect." ”。
Before the words could be spoken, the gunfire began again. A fire bullet shot out of the dragon spear in the reggaeton's hand, carrying a strong wind forward, and crashed into the body of a firmament army in the next second, and flames immediately scattered and flew in all directions.
"Even if you retreat, these ghost soldiers who are loyal to the old ghost of Xudu will not let you go. The reggae raised his dragon lance again, and then shouted, "Bloody debts, take up your weapons and fight to the end." Do what you can to die without regrets!"
His voice was heard throughout the battlefields of the air; The first half of the story is the truth, the army of the Northern Yin Dynasty likes to slaughter the city, and many of the Nine Shadows Army in the air are the surrenders of the Xudu Army, and they know that the Sky Army will not let them go. And the second half of the words is one of the military regulations of the Nine Shadows Army, and the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Country present have already memorized the melons. It is also very exciting, and it instantly dispels the despair in the hearts of the ghost soldiers of the other Nine Shadow Kingdoms.
The Nine Shadows Army, which was in high spirits again, gradually ceased to be afraid, and they followed the fierce reggae, waving the weapons in their hands, and once again pounced on the Piercing Moon Cha and the Sky Army.
On the ground, on the top of the city wall in the west of the city, the red-eyed black impermanence also roared angrily: "Fire! fire!"
The cannonballs had already been loaded, and the cannons were fired again after aiming at the moon in the air......
In the Tianyang Palace of Yuque City, the military advisors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who lived in the capital city hurried over. Chunyun Xia Xing and Lu Wu, as well as Jiang Ziwen and Wu Xiaoshen, couldn't help but put down their official duties and rushed to Tianyang Palace.
On the main hall, the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu, who arrived at Tianyang Palace first, were already waiting.
When all the military advisers entered the hall and before they could salute, Xiao Shizhu preemptively said: "Excuse me, today's situation is urgent, so don't do those superfluous things." ”。
After a pause, Xiao Shizhu looked around the sand table of the ten continents of the Netherworld Prefecture, and the ghosts seated in the Ten Continents of the Netherworld Mansion explained the sudden situation in Weishan City in detail.
"Because Weishan City is a newly built border pass, there is no perfect early warning mechanism, but it allows the ghost soldiers under the command of the Xudu regime to take advantage of a loophole. According to the latest intelligence, it is all Guanyuecha and the Firmament Army, who have been hiding in the depths of the clouds. Immediately afterwards, the Ghost Mother said, "So our ghost soldiers were stationed in Weishan City, and we didn't notice the invasion of ghost soldiers until the Guanyuecha and the Firmament Army had already arrived in the city. ”。
"Even the Firmament Army has been dispatched?" A trace of consternation flashed on Jiang Ziwen's face, his lips opened slightly, and his round eyes stared at Xiao Shizhu in a daze, his eyes instantly filled with surprise.
"Yes, now is not the time to be surprised. Xiao Shizhu sat down beside the ghost mother, and his eyes swept over the big sand table in front of him: "What Mu Qingming knows is that the enemy army attacking Weishan City has tens of thousands of Guanyue Cha and nearly a million firmament troops. There are only more than 100,000 ghost soldiers in the mountain city, and most of them are recruits and surrendered soldiers. Now I have called you here to discuss measures for help. ”。
As soon as these words came out, the ghosts in the main hall suddenly fell silent.
"Up-to-date intelligence. Just when everyone was silent, Shen Ji, who had been concentrating for a long time, suddenly frowned: "The Firmament Army used the Ghost Fire Pill, and the Yin Fire flooded half of the city, and the casualties of the soldiers and civilians in the city have reached 100,000. ”。
"Damn the Emperor. Xiao Shizhu, whose eyes were wide with anger, was full of anger, and the blue tendons on his forehead suddenly burst out. He then clenched his fists and slammed the table in front of him. The sand table on the table also trembled. Several hills on the sand table collapsed in an instant, and a complete landslide came, leaving a lot of loose sand on the sand table.
"Since it is the Firmament Army, it must be an air battle. And the harvest is still in Dongyizhou, and the minister suggested that this former ghost general of the Northern Yin Dynasty be used. Jiang Ziwen raised his head, looked at the angry Xiao Shizhu, and said thoughtfully: "The king should know that the harvest is a ghost talent in cavalry tactics, and commanding the air cavalry to conduct air battles of different scales is also his forte. An air cavalry should be handed over to Bei Shu and let him lead the army to help. ”。
"No, it's better to leave it to General Yuei. Moreover, the minister remembered that the place where General Yuei was stationed now was only a few hundred miles away from Weishan Castle. And the harvest is stationed in the southeast of Weishan City, more than a thousand miles away in the big lonely city, and the speed of rushing to help must not be as fast as General Yurong. As soon as Jiang Ziwen finished speaking, Lu Wu immediately opened his mouth and retorted bluntly: "General Yurong is also good at air combat, or it can be handed over to General Zuo Fan in Manjiang City." The point is that these two ghosts are loyal to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Compared with the ghost general who only surrendered to Chengcheng, it is better to put the commanders in power. ”。
After finishing speaking, Lu Wu also set his eyes on Xiao Shizhu's face.
Jiang Ziwen was displeased when he heard this, now that the situation is urgent, Lu Wu is still doubting the loyalty of the harvest, so isn't it even suspicious of these ghosts who came from the Beiyin Dynasty to surrender?
These words may be unintentional, but they are completely a manifestation of disunity, which makes Jiang Ziwen's displeasure more and more serious.
With an angry gaze at the moment, when he snorted angrily, he did not hesitate to rush straight at Lu Wu, but Lu Wu turned a blind eye.
"Lu Wu, don't be so small-minded, although you are here to ensure victory, I can understand. But there is no suspicion in employing people, and I believe that Bei Shui will not defect to the battle, and I want to enable him. After pondering for a long time, the anger on Xiao Shizhu's face was completely replaced by seriousness, his firm gaze looked around the ghosts, and said categorically: "Not only that, but I also want Yu Rong and Zuo Fan to lead the army to help, and order Yu Rong to immediately lead the Flying Army and Xiancha under his command to quickly rush to the battlefield." Ordered Zuo Fan to lead all the empty horsemen in Manjiang City to join up with Bei Cheng Cheng and join forces with Ying Lingxing, and send troops to aid Weishan City. ”。
"I hope that Weishan Castle will hold out until reinforcements arrive. Xiao Shizhu blinked his eyes and looked at Shen Ji.
