6. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sand Chapter 372 The Rattlesnake's Means
Rattlesnake had been waiting for the Black Mamba's army to successfully cut off the retreat of the Red Pavilion army, but they were never seen. At this moment, the Red Pavilion army was already like a sharp sword, straight into the palace avenue, like a bamboo.
The battle situation made her anxious, pacing back and forth like a trapped beast, and muttering anxiously, "Why haven't you come yet, Black Mamba, you bastard." ”
"Oh no!" A herald ran in in a panic, "The Red Pavilion army has attacked our material warehouses and are still setting fires everywhere. ”
"What?!" The rattlesnake couldn't sit still at all. If no action is taken, the garrison of the entire imperial city will completely collapse, and the army of the Red Pavilion will directly attack the imperial palace as if it had entered a no-man's land!
Shaking his head suddenly, Rattlesnake made a difficult decision: "Send a signal, all the ambushed troops, immediately go out and attack the invaders!" ”
At the sound of an order, the ambushed army came out of the cage like a tiger and killed the army of the Red Pavilion. But they never imagined that as soon as a melee began, they would lose their target: there were soldiers everywhere without heraldicate, and it seemed that all of them were from the Red Pavilion.
The scene has become a mess, and many troops who were originally in ambush actually began to kill each other, causing a large number of casualties. However, the soldiers of the Red Pavilion seemed to have a clear understanding and could tell at a glance which ones were the enemy. Although the vanguard was not outnumbered, taking advantage of the confusion, they managed to hold back the ambush of the Rattlesnakes.
Hei Ningxue held a feather fan in her hand, calmly directing the soldiers to light fires at several key intersections. The flames were blazing, forming one wall after another that was difficult to overcome.
The ambushed army braved the raging fire to march into the army, but they sadly found that on the other side of the wall of fire, the young man and Mira were heavily guarded.
"It's just in time, taste the power of the Demon Sword Red Dragon!" The young man laughed heartily, and the giant sword in his hand suddenly erupted with fire. The flames slashed straight into the sky, defeating and retreating the ambushed army.
Rattlesnake's attack plan is at an impasse. She watched the Red Pavilion army march all the way, the flames were blazing like a fire dragon churning and dancing on the palace avenue, and the ambush soldiers she arranged were actually killed by the vanguard army of the Red Pavilion.
"How...... How so! The rattlesnake roared, "Waste, it's all a bunch of waste!" ”
"Now is not the time to complain!" The Black Mamba slammed through the door and rushed in breathlessly. She had several wounds on her body, and her gray face obviously had just been killed from the chaos, "Go and defend the palace, don't let them hurt His Majesty Darius!" ”
The rattlesnake took a deep breath and could only order gloomily: "Withdraw the troops!" Retreat to the palace! ”
There is an imperial city in the ruined capital, and there is a palace city in the imperial city. Miyagi is talking about the imperial palace of the Wild Sand Empire.
Although the walls of the palace were not too tall and more of a symbol of imperial power, they were still defensive.
Rattlesnake and Black Mamba led the remaining remnants of the defeated army all the way to the palace, and at this moment, a team of men and horses suddenly came out halfway, "Darius's minions, today I will avenge the inner chamberlain Guruk!" ”
I saw a middle-aged warrior wearing heavy armor and holding a long knife rushing out, and it turned out to be the guard of the Great Rift Valley Fortress, known as the "Divine Knife Executioner" O'Eun. He was friends with the chamberlain Guruk, and he had always held a grudge when he heard that Darius had killed Guruk after usurping the throne.
Rattlesnake snorted and said to the Black Mamba, "You go in first, and I'll deal with this short-eyed fellow." ”
The Black Mamba nodded, "Be careful yourself. After speaking, he led the people to retreat into the palace first.
For such a blessing, the rattlesnake just snorted, pulled out her "poisonous snake scimitar", and looked at Ou En with a sneer, "People call you the 'Divine Knife Executioner', I will take a look today, whether your sword skills are enough to be godly." ”
Enraged, Orn shouted and drew his sword and rushed at the rattlesnake. The light of his sword was like a raging wind and wildfire, and silver rays slashed through the air, stabbing at the rattlesnake like lightning.
The rattlesnake sneered, her figure flickering left and right, back and forth, and Orne's knife was a fraction of a second off each time, as if it were teasing a wild cat, which made Orn gradually feel a little embarrassed.
Orn had a solemn look on his face, and his knife became more ferocious, but no matter how hard he tried to attack the rattlesnake, he still couldn't hurt a single hair of the rattlesnake. In a fit of rage, he suddenly turned around to gather his soul energy, and a thick layer of soul flame appeared on the blade, "Take my move, a thousand blades!" ”
"Thousand Blade Slash" is the special skill of the "Divine Sword Executioner", which can conjure up tens of millions of air blades in an instant, and it is said that it is a unique move that Orn realized according to the mystery of "Glass Slash". It is faster than "Glass Slash", and the attack range is more focused, giving the opponent almost no chance to block and dodge.
As soon as the trick came out, the rattlesnake naturally knew that it was powerful, and turned around and hid. There was only a muffled sound, and a stone statue behind her had been split in half by Orn's qi blade, shattering to the ground.
"Tsk, it's just brute force." Rattlesnake sneered, "Is that all you have to offer?" ”
"Slut, give me death!" Orn's eyes were red, and he roared and pounced on the rattlesnake again.
The rattlesnake sneered, and its figure disappeared in place like a ghost, and when it reappeared, it was already a hundred meters away. She sneered and looked at Orn, "I haven't used all my strength yet, what are you anxious about?" ”
Orn was stunned, his eyes revealing a look of deep horror. He never thought that a seemingly frivolous guy like Rattlesnake was secretly studying soul arts, and he actually used a not simple technique like "Instantaneous Flash", which really made Orn feel a little tricky.
"Hahaha, scared, right? If you're afraid, you will admit defeat, don't waste your mother's precious time. Rattlesnake said with a mocking grin.
Orn gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here to get your head today!" Before he could finish speaking, Orne shook his body and flew towards the rattlesnake.
Rattlesnake's eyes narrowed slightly, "Stupid, what a stupid guy." So she said no more, and brandished her "Viper Scimitar" to meet Orn.
The two staggered, one dodging, and then each standing still. But after only a few seconds, Orn fell to his knees with a pop: two poisonous snakes were wrapped around his neck at some point.
"How's it going, convinced?" Rattlesnake asked triumphantly. Since she is known as a rattlesnake, she is naturally proficient in snake control, and although Orn's knife skills are powerful, she is defenseless against this kind of trick.
"You...... You're ...... Slut......" Orn glared at the rattlesnake, his face darkened, his eyes bulging, and his ears already bleeding black poisonous blood.
Boom.
He fell to the ground, his body began to tremble weakly, and his heart beat faster as if it was about to jump out of his chest. His vision began to blur, and darkness began to eat away at his consciousness.
……
The army of the Red Pavilion poured in like a torrent, surrounding the palace layer by layer. The gates of the palace were not too heavy, and Lydia decided to send siege trucks to force them open.
Rattlesnake led the guards to stand on the city walls, and the forbidden troops guarding the imperial city were not soft persimmons to deal with. They occupied the favorable terrain, looked down at the sergeants of the Red Pavilion, and drew the bowstrings in their hands. Arrows poured down like a torrential rain, raining down like a waterfall.
"This defense is too strong!" Lydia yelled, "Rush back!" Don't fight hard, start the catapult and attack the walls! ”
"What now?" Hei Ningxue asked on the side, "Do you want to stalemate for a while?" ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." Lydia recalls the map she had shown her last night, that there was a forbidden army arsenal to the west of the Imperial City, and that Dennis and Nabino had been attacking that side, but they had not been able to take it for a long time, apparently heavily guarded.
From this point of view, the enemy's intention was to use the city walls to suffocate the Red Pavilion and wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack from the arsenal.
Lydia thought for a moment and called out to the young man and Mira: "You continue to lead people to attack the main entrance, I'll go to the arsenal first, and kill them before they attack us." ”
"It's not an option to storm the main gate." Nick brought people back from the east, "I just investigated, the defense of the Watergate is not strong, and you can launch a surprise attack from there." ”
"What is Watergate?" Lydia asked curiously, after all, there was no such thing on the non-smiling map.
Nick laughed, "It's the sewers of the Imperial City, dark and foul-smelling, but a wonderful path. ”
The black condensation snow feather fan snapped away, "Good idea, then I'll go ...... too"
Nick stretched out his hand to stop Black Condensation's words, "That kind of dirty place is not for a beautiful young lady like you. ”
Hei Ningxue snorted, "Am I like someone who is afraid of getting dirty?" ”
Almost all of them were silently saying in their hearts at the same time: "Like, and very like." ”
However, the slippery Nick whispered in Hei Ningxue's ear without thinking, "What if it makes a foul smell and doesn't laugh at the lord's sight?" ”
Hei Ningxue was accidentally pinched by Nick's soft underbelly, and her face turned slightly red, "Okay, since General Nick said so, then it's up to you to arrange." ”
Nick asked Lydia for instructions, "Please give me five hundred infantry and ten ladders, and I will attack through the water gate and catch the snake by surprise." At this time, the main force forcibly attacked the city, and it would definitely succeed. ”
Lydia nodded, and they split up and set to action.
……
The news of the suspension of the offensive in the Red Pavilion had reached the arsenal of the forbidden army, only to hear a horn sound, the door of the arsenal was suddenly opened, and the elite forbidden army in full armor with spears in hand rushed out with all their might.
At the head is the Black Mamba who is armed with a double axe.
"Come on, you filthy Red Pavilion bandits, come and taste the power of my 'Purple Lightning Twin Thunder Slash'!" Her twin axes crackled with electric light, and she galloped towards Nabino and Dennis.
The two of them were just about to take up arms to defend when they heard a clear shout from behind, "You, a defeated man, a fleeing gopher, riding a bald alpaca as incompetent as you, also want to ambush us?" ”
As she spoke, Lydia's chocobo leaped into the air, pointing its spear straight at the Black Mamba, "It's too late to surrender now, I'll pick you off the alpaca in a little while!" ”
The Black Mamba didn't expect that the road was narrow, and he actually ran into Lydia again, and he was a little scared before he could fight.
