[282] The fierce battle of Chongshan Pass
The ghosts of the underworld are divided into four categories: gods, demons, humans and beasts, and they are subdivided downward, and there are various ghost races.
This snake bone woman ghost is a human soul that can overtake the poisonous snakes in the underworld with his mind, and is resistant to all snake venoms, and the original snake bone woman is the female Miao Wu who refines Gu in the world.
When their bodies die and their souls enter the underworld, they have the ability to control the poisoned snakes in the underworld, and they like to hang some snake bones on their head ropes, so this ghost clan is called the snake bone woman.
Later, those of them who were not reincarnated married and had children with other human souls, but all the female ghosts born had the ability to control snakes, and because poisonous snakes came and went quickly and were highly lethal, Emperor Xudu ordered: All snake bone ghosts must live in the wasteland south of Xuanyan Continent and guard the gold mine for him.
The main thing is to prevent him from stealing the mines, or the miners from hiding the mines privately.
However, because the snake bone woman has been dancing with poisonous snakes for a long time, she will always be inadvertently eroded by snake venom, so the skin of ghosts in future generations will turn into snake scales. Or like this, or like the neck, cheeks, and arms, which makes their appearance a little more indescribably weird.
Platinum has been in the underworld for a long time, and in the past, he did not always regard himself as a big man like other generals, he often read books and newspapers, and he knew that the snake bone woman would never leave the gold mines in the south because of the will of the Emperor Xudu, and suddenly a large number appeared in front of the south gate of the Nine Shadows Kingdom south of the valley, which made him feel uneasy.
"How many snake bones are there?" He was undecided, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the dust outside the valley mouth in the south, and in the wind sound wood forest where the wind blew like jade, there were dozens of burly human souls with red skin and muscles on their limbs, waving the thick mace in their hands, and rampage out of it.
They spewed hot air from their mouths and noses, and strode towards the side of Chongshan Pass, and when they left deep footprints on the ground, they also broke the hundreds of trees that stood in the way, and the huge wind sound trees that needed two or three human souls to embrace.
"Hercules mountain ghost?" staring at the menacing mountain ghost, platinum froze, clenched the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and frowned.
Sawdust flew and dust rose, and countless snake bone women followed, the scales growing on their bodies glittering in the afterglow of the setting sun. The twin snakes in their hands grinned, shook the letter, and made a "hissing" sound.
This is a big army, Du Ziren's army. Judging from the endless ranks and the enduring puffs of dust that were brought up by the march, the enemy army numbered at least fifty or sixty thousand.
The rumbling and muffled footsteps, like an angry tide rushing closer and closer, even the earth and mountain cliffs were trembling slightly.
"Blow the horn, the whole army is ready to fight!" Platinum didn't have time to think about the reason for the other party's sudden attack, but he roared loudly at the soldiers who were alarmed by the sound of the mountain ghosts running and came out of the cave pavilion to watch, and waved his hand to Zuo Fan: "Go and prepare for the air strike, and wait for my order to start the air raid!"
Zuo Fan nodded in response, the sound of the dragon's groan resounded through the valley, and the dragon took him to take off. The melodious and powerful sound of the horn also sounded.
The Xiao family army and the Nine Shadow Army took their positions one after another, holding their breath and raising the fire gun in their hands, aiming at the valley mouth. The Qubu also closed the gate of the dock fort, took their bows and crossbows, and ascended the tower.
In the blink of an eye, the ghosts of Hercules Mountain had rushed into the valley, and this kind of human soul that could not even speak ghost language, but could only whine and howl, continued to move forward, and came straight to the pass.
A large number of snake bone women, like a black frenzy rushing forward, followed.
The hellish ghost bats hanging upside down on the branches of the trees in the valley were frightened, and they all screamed in grief, and they rose to the sky and fled in all directions.
The incident happened suddenly, and after a short period of surprise, Bai Jin calmed down, and when he saw that the enemy had just entered the valley, he immediately raised his right hand that was full of sweat between his fingers without hesitation, and waved it forward suddenly.
The next second later, the iron arrows as dense as locusts, the bullets shot one after another, bringing a "Xiu Xiu" to break through the air and go towards the enemy.
The roaring artillery fire, which also drew a bright arc in the air with blazing flames, landed near Taniguchi with unmistakable accuracy.
Loud and loud bangs rang out, artillery pieces were smashed down in a colorful manner, explosions were everywhere, earth and rocks were overturned, and scorching waves of air swept through the fierce flames, and in the midst of the loud bangs, they rose like whirlpools, and brought up gusts of hot wind.
More than 100 rushed too fast, and the snake bone woman in the valley was too late to dodge, and was affected by the dense explosion, flying upside down and hitting it very much, or suddenly turned into a pile of stumps and flesh under the blazing fire.
Many of them were swept away by the explosion and the flames of the heat wave scorched, and the skin and flesh were blurred, and they instantly became a fire ghost.
Most of the rest were also burned and smashed.
The firearms of the Nine Shadows National Army, after being improved by Lai Yueqi, can not only be fired continuously, but also have a greatly increased range and power, and even the armor made of stainless steel can be dented by bullets;
Seeing that the enemy army had suffered heavy casualties in an instant, the Nine Shadows Army had the upper hand, and the snake bone women invariably hissed like snakes in their mouths, and the poisonous snakes climbing on their arms were ordered, and after quickly climbing down, they quickly swam forward a few feet ahead in the face of artillery fire, and after shrinking their bodies, they ejected from the ground.
Tens of thousands of poisonous snakes soared and shot in the air, drawing red and cyan light and shadow, which was spectacular, and they showed their fangs like arrows from the string, shuttling through the rain of bullets, and in the blink of an eye, they pounced on the defenders on the plank road and rope bridge.
The defenders have hardly ever seen a poisonous snake that can leap up dozens of feet from the ground, and they are defenseless when caught off guard, and after being easily deceived by the poisonous snake, they bite the neck accurately, and they stumble to the ground with a scream, foaming at the mouth, and they are already dead after a moment of convulsion.
As soon as he bit a soldier to death, the poisonous snake immediately loosened its mouth, raised its neck and held its head high, and spat out a letter towards another soldier.
Terrible screams erupted in the panicked Chongshan Pass, mixed with a series of curses, and the artillery bombardment of the Nine Shadows Army stopped, and the attack was sharply reduced.
The shadow of the sword flickered, and the angry platinum held a long sword, and after cutting down a few poisonous snakes that had deceived him, he stood against the railing, and the bright red cloak was raised in the wind, and the phoenix eyes under the dragon's eyebrows were full of anger, looking directly at the enemy troops in front of him who were pouring into the valley, as if jumping with scorching flames.
There was a sudden chaos above the pass, and the enemy troops below were still rushing in, in addition to the snake bone woman, a lot of cyan skin was killed from the south, with four hands, and a one-horned one-horned mountain ghost was born in the middle of the forehead.
Heavily armed, they had a round war drum hanging from their abdomen in front of them, one hand holding a shield across their chests, one hand quickly dancing the drumsticks in their hands, beating the war drums in front of them like raindrops, and the other two big hands bent upward, pulling a long rope, and the nest cart tied at the other end of the rope was following them into the valley.
Under the rapid sound of war drums, rockets were fired one after another from the watchtower of the nest car, and with the firelight that echoed with the blood-like afterglow of the remnant sun, they flew towards the rope bridge connecting the mountain walls on both sides.
In less than a moment, there were terrible screams from the pass one after another, and many plank roads and rope bridges also caught fire. But it was also covered with wooden planks, which were all the ones that started the fire.
Thick smoke billowed down, and a part of the Nine Shadows Army was directly hit by rockets, and the flames quickly swam away with their battle robes, making them become a fire ghost in the blink of an eye, screaming and scurrying around, and finally stumbling over and falling off the rope bridge.
The long screams, the muffled sound of the soldiers falling from the sky, echoed through the valley.
Platinum leaned over, picked up a shield left by a dead soldier, and held it in front of him, listening to the sound of the rocket's "duh!" as it crashed into the shield, and silently warned himself in his heart: "It's not time yet, you have to put all the enemy troops into the valley before you can attack." ”。
"Hold your ground and kill the enemy bravely!" Bai Jin looked around, seeing that the guards around him were killed and wounded, and the anger in his chest was even worse, and he opened his mouth and shouted angrily, "Prepare for a fire attack!" Before the words could be heard through the valley, many of the soldiers who had already solved the vipers that had catapulted to their sides turned and entered the caves built in the mountain walls.
Whether it is the Xiao family army, the Jiuyou army, or even the Qubu militia who are sticking to the dock fort in the valley, they are all well-trained and not afraid of danger. The momentary panic did not cause their whole army to be thrown into disarray, and in a moment they had brought out a number of large bulging wooden barrels from the holes, and rolled them down the cliff one after another from the edge of the plank road.
As soon as the barrel hit the ground, it shattered open, and a pungent scent flowed out of it as a dark and inky viscous liquid, spreading out in the valley in less than a moment.
In addition to the mud and gravel, even the creeks and swamps that run through the valley were instantly dyed black. These liquids are the fierce fire oils also known as stone paint.
The snake bone woman's poisonous snake attack did not decrease but increased, and the one-horned mountain ghosts pulled the nest car to the pass, then pulled out the giant axe from their waists, wielded the giant axe with a shield in one hand and the other hand, and continued to beat the war drums with the other hands, rushing towards the valley dock fort.
The artillerymen of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, who had stabilized their positions, returned to the artillery standing on the plank road again, and under the protection of their companions, calmly reloaded, aiming at the enemy troops in the valley.
The explosion started again, and the earth and rocks in the valley were shaken by the air wave and flew up again, and it happened that the snake bone woman and those mountain ghosts on the explosion point screamed and flew away under the blood shoot.
The flames splashed in all directions, and the fierce fire oil ignited one after another, and immediately turned into a sea of flames under the pass. Most of the enemy troops were already in flames before they could react, the nest carts were all on fire, and the poisonous snakes that had not yet catapulted into the pass writhed in the flames and turned to ashes in an instant.
The screams are repeated, and the scorching smell is pervasive!
