Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Evil Siege (Seeking Follow-up)
"Below, the deputy director of the Demon Swinging Division, Zhengyue Buqun!" Since he was disgusted in his heart, Yue Buqun's response naturally would not deliberately maintain his roundness.
Yue Buqun has long passed the stage of 'maturity and stability', and now he just wants to live as much as he wants.
In a word, it is not only to report to their home, but also to inform Liu Daxia that they are not all the way.
The Demon Division is similar to the Jinyi Guard, both of which are independent of the six departments, and in the eyes of the orthodox civil and military system, they are both outliers.
Of course, the Demon Swinger Division is not as hateful as Jinyiwei, at least for now, and it has to do with power.
However, if the Ming Dynasty does not fall, then with the development of the Demon Division, the flood of power will provoke the six departments to be red, and they will be more hated than Jinyiwei, and it will be a matter of time.
The Demon Division's single authority of 'unifying the evil things', with the spread of evil spirits, there is too much room for manipulation in the future, and in addition, it is a violent department, which will essentially become a destroyer of the old rules of the past.
No matter what kind of person Liu Daxia is, as an official, his political talent is definitely not low.
So after hearing that Yue Buqun reported to his home, his original enthusiasm was also much colder.
Looking at Liu Daxia, who was still smiling on the surface and no longer had deep friendship in his eyes, Yue Buqun became more and more sure of his judgment.
However, the little boy who followed Liu Daxia kept looking at Yue Buqun with curiosity and admiration, and his excited expression was not fake at all.
"It turned out to be Yue Sizheng, thank you Yue Sizheng for rescuing me this time, Liu is grateful, and he will be rewarded in the future." Liu Daxia said.
"It's here, Yue still has important things, so I'll go first." Yue Buqun did not make superficial politeness with him.
"Political Envoy Liu Bu, farewell!" Whistle at that.
The horses, which had just been let go, quickly ran back at the sound of the whistle.
Yue Buqun turned over and got on his horse and rushed towards the capital.
At the same time, except for Si Zheng Zhang Tianshi, the rest of the officials in the capital Demon Division were sitting in the courtyard, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the ground motion instrument in the courtyard.
This geodynamic instrument imitates Zhang Heng's geodynamic instrument and is made, with copper as a vessel, with a circular diameter of eight feet, resembling a wine bottle, the lid is full, and it is decorated with mountain turtles, birds and beasts.
There are all pillars in the bottle, eight roads by the side, Shi Guan is a machine, there are eight directions of Zhaolong outside, the first copper pill, and the toad inherits it.
The ground shook the bottle, and the dragon machine spit out pills, and the toad opened its mouth to accept it.
Tricks, especially shapes, most of them have huge bodies, and there must be movement when they move, and using the ground motion instrument to measure the shape is also one of the methods that the Demon Swinger came up with.
In addition, there are many similar measurement methods, which will not be listed one by one.
A Taoist, sitting on the side of the geodynamic instrument, holding the heavenly machine disk, constantly observing the weather and terrain changes, according to various factors, adjusting the symbols on the heavenly machine disk, whether it is useless or not, look at it is indeed presentable, convincing.
Yang Buregret and Ning Zhong represented Yue Buqun, sitting on the left and right sides of the vacant first place.
In contrast, Ning Zhong has a lot of subtle small movements, which fully expresses her inner unpeace.
And Yang has no regrets about only doing one thing, sharpening knives.
Click!
There was a sound of the machine, and the dragon's mouth located in the east spat out copper pills.
Everyone was shaken.
Immediately someone stood in the courtyard and waved a flag.
On the watchtower not far away, the drummer who received the flag began to beat the drum according to the prescribed rhythm.
The gates of the capital were all closed, and all the defenders of the city were holding their weapons tightly, guarding the forts, heavy crossbows, and catapults, ready to attack at any time.
One, two, three... The time has passed close to a pillar of incense.
The attack in the notice did not come as promised.
At this moment, the canopy was completely dark.
There is no moon tonight, and even the stars are sparse.
Therefore, the darkness is also extremely gloomy, as if to engulf all the light in this boundless darkness.
A large number of torches and fire racks were lit on the city wall, and everyone's eyes widened, not daring to relax for a moment, and locked their eyes in the dark and unknown place, reaching the limit of their eyesight and the limit of the firelight.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang, and the entire city wall seemed to shake.
A giant mole with an auger on its head was draped in bone armor, and in the gaps in the bone armor, a monster full of bloodshot eyeballs came out from under the city wall.
It obviously planned to burrow directly into the ground and infiltrate the capital, but suffered a big loss.
Under the four walls of the capital, it has been watered with iron juice for a long time and has been repeatedly reinforced, and the city walls are connected to the root-like network formed by the solidification of iron juice underground, which is not so easy to exploit.
"Evil is coming! Soldiers, shoot! On the eastern city wall, the general in charge of the command brandished a broadsword and roared.
In an instant, catapults, ballistas, and artillery were all used, but not in one go, but in a measured and regular manner.
Among them, artillery was used at the lowest rate.
In the Song and Yuan dynasties, artillery has been used on the battlefield, but due to technical reasons, the use is not mature, and there will be various risks of use if there is a slight inappropriateness.
Therefore, the soldiers who defended the city did not dare to use this thing at all.
Of course, even if only catapults and ballistas were in action, it would still be enough for the treacherous to drink a pot.
Although it has bone armor, it is not a nail membrane that completely wraps the whole body and can effectively resist power.
Faced with the heavy smashing of a large number of stones, cracks first appeared in the bone armor on the mole's treacherous body.
Compared with the internal strength and brute force of ordinary warriors, these siege and defense equipment made by relying on human wisdom are the real weapons of mass destruction.
The bone armor on the mole's treacherous body is broken.
The sharp arrows shot from the ballista were densely packed and pierced into the cracks in the bone armor.
Some of the arrows were designed as hollow tubes, which were wrapped in a large amount of fire oil.
As the arrows that lit the fire shot one after another, the mole's treacherous body was instantly ignited.
This evil head, in the midst of the burning fire, let out an earth-shattering scream.
Its cry sounds more like a baby's cry, but it is so loud that it does not make people feel pity, but it will feel noisy, harsh, and even frightened.
Knock knock!
The drums of war rang out over the walls.
The sound of the drums effectively dispelled the fear of the soldiers and made everyone excited.
Surrounded by flames, the mole turned into a huge fireball, scurrying under the city, making a final struggle.
When the mole falls.
Every eyeball on its body closes.
In the crackling sound of burning, a strange smell of burning spread up the city wall.
The soldiers who smelled this strange smell were poisoned and fell to the ground.
"Its body burns and is highly poisonous!"
"Quickly use a water hose cart to poison with water." Someone shouted, it just didn't work well.
The toxin spread so quickly that in the blink of an eye, half of the walls lost their resistance.
This mole is treacherous, and it was originally sent to die.
When its body is incinerate, it emits a highly toxic odor.
And once this smell wafts up the city walls, or even into the city, the damage and impact will be difficult to estimate.
