【556】Defeated (II)
The morning light was pungent and bloody, and the killing sound could be seen everywhere. The banner of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was rolled in the smoke of gunpowder, and the flowers embroidered on it were all big and blood-red, which was impressive!
The sub-guns of the rainstorm were as dense as flying locusts, and with the red cannonballs, they shot towards the panicked Xudu army in all directions.
The Nine Shadows Army that bravely rushed to kill would never give the opponent a chance to surrender, even if the opponent had already knelt down and surrendered and begged for mercy, he could not escape the end of being killed by their shelling and shooting. Even when one of the hands of the Jiuyou National Army fell, the ghost head of the Xudu Army was thrown high from the neck, spinning and rising in the air, spilling pieces of ghost blood.
The continuous sound of horns came from the sky overhead, and the air cavalry and flying soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who had already taken off were launched from the sky with a high horn.
With the cooperation of ground and air, the Xudu army was continuously attacked by wave after wave of crazy attacks by the Jiuyou National Army, and the dense sub-guns and surging and whistling shells like rain kept falling into the Xudu army who didn't know where to flee, splashing pieces of fierce flames and blood flowers. There were also a lot of stumps and tattered armor, which were thrown around with the wave of encouragement.
Not long after, when nearly 100,000 of the Xudu army had been killed or wounded, the flags and flagpoles of the fallen Xudu army were almost trampled into rags and broken wood by the panicked footsteps.
The head of the beast is crowded, and the iron hooves are churning. Rivers of blood flowed red, staining the land and the flags. Under the rush of the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the ghost soldiers of Lu Xian'er, the Xudu army that dared to block the road bore the brunt of the onslaught, and in an instant, they were either killed by guns and cannons, or trampled into meat by the hooves of beasts.
The military camp in Xudu was in a mess and miserable.
On a cloudy day in the Chinese army camp a mile away, watching the miserable situation of the Xudu army on the battlefield, and ordering the Chinese army to hurriedly organize defense, the muscles in the corners of his eyes kept trembling.
She had finally seen the ferocity and power of the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, not only because they were well-trained and advanced, but also because they had a commander Xiao Shizhu who was good at fighting and could accurately find the enemy's weaknesses on the battlefield.
This Xiao Shizhu can launch the right attack at the right time and in the right place. When the army was strong, he only dealt with him like a foreign worker. But when the Xudu army was hungry and exhausted, a surprise attack came, and the Xudu army was powerless, not only terrifying, but simply vicious.
In front of the army of the Nine Shadows, millions of united armies have become lambs to the slaughter.
We must kill Xiao Shizhu! Even if we die in battle today, we must kill Xiao Shizhu! This is the thought and determination of the cloudy sky after watching the battle for a while.
"Blowing the trumpet and ordering the left and right battalions and other combined forces to come to the rescue quickly. On a cloudy day with an angry shout, he turned around and walked quickly into the Chinese army tent behind him.
In the blink of an eye, he had turned back and walked out of the big tent in a striking, and there was already an iron rod in his hand.
But in just a few breaths, more than 300,000 troops of the Xudu Army had been slaughtered by more than 100,000 Jiuyou National Army.
The Nine Shadows Army did not rush forward to continue the attack, but gathered in a roundabout way according to the order of the trumpet, and once again joined forces in the front camp of the Xudu Army, in the midst of the flames and smoke.
Astonishment swept through the eyes of the cloudy sky, the speed of the Nine Shadows Army was so fast, it only took thirty-five breaths (one breath is about two seconds) of effort, and the Nine Shadows Army scattered all over the front camp had basically completed the merger.
After another thirty-five breaths, they had already formed ten huge mandarin duck formations, facing the large army camp of the Xudu Army not far away.
Under the sound of the horn, the left and right armies of the Xudu Army, dragging their hungry and tired physiques, slowly slaughtered towards the side of the Jiuyou National Army. Compared to their previous offensives, they looked so weak now.
However, the Xudu army is also well-trained and has strict military regulations. The order and prohibition that had been ingrained in their hearts made them ignore their exhaustion and hunger, and launched the first round of counter-defense and offensive attacks against the Nine Shadows Army.
Xiao Shizhu, the leader of the Nine Shadows Army, had more than blood dripping with the Moon Destroying Sword in his hand. After just one meal, hundreds of Xudu soldiers died at his hands. The crystal clear ghost blood beads slid down the lines of his sword, focusing on the tip of the sword and slowly dripping. On both sides of the bridge of his towering nose, a pair of bright eyes burst out with a sharp gaze that shot straight forward, facing the cloudy sky on the platform of the point generals standing proudly in front of the big tent of the Chinese army in the distance. The angry gaze that Yin Tian threw at him suddenly collided with his gaze in midair, rubbing an invisible hatred and rage.
The two sides were only a mile apart, and they could vaguely see the fierceness in each other's eyes, revealing perseverance.
Xiao Shizhu wants to win the battle and complete the pattern of dominating the southeast. And the thought that Yin Tian wanted his ghost life was extremely strong, which made their ghost blood boil.
Furious, the iron rod in his hand was raised, slammed the ground next to his feet, and roared a murderous voice from his mouth: "Kill!"
At the same time, the Moon Destroying Sword in the hands of the Nine Shadows King also swung forward here, pointing directly at the enemy army camp in front of him.
The ordered Xudu army was armed with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and formed a phalanx, killing towards the side of the Jiuyou National Army. The bronze armor on their bodies shone in the light of the cloudy sun, making them look like a wide and turbulent wave.
At the same time, the artillery mounted on the beast souls of the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom had been reloaded, and they aimed at the oncoming enemy troops and opened fire.
The madness and hysteria of the war made all the soldiers on both sides hateful, their eyes red, and their hearts full of mortal thoughts, like fierce beasts thirsty for blood.
Dense shells rained down on the enemy with strong wind and flames. The earth trembled, and the bloody flesh and blood brought up by the tragic explosion were thrown away with the smoke and flames as they rose. A series of crossbow arrows dedicated to the army also shot through the air from the smoke and flames, whistling again and again. After passing through the cold arc of the Dao Dao in mid-air, he came towards the Nine Shadows National Army.
At the same time, the left and right armies of the Xudu Army were only half a mile away from the Jiuyou Army. And in the rear of the Nine Shadows Army, the Fusang Army and the Black Tooth Army, as well as some of the Corpse Soul Army, all set off from the camps and made a roundabout. Within a moment's effort, several armies had already completed the encirclement of the Nine Shadows Army.
Seeing that he was about to become dumplings and bun fillings, Xiao Shizhu was not in a hurry, but when he used his Xuan Li, he yelled: "Shield!"
The roar shook the heavens and the earth, and in an instant, it floated into the ears of every Nine Shadow Army. Among them, the soldier with the long shield on his shoulder quickly untied the long shield and slammed it across his head, protecting himself and his comrades around him.
The clanging sound continued, and sparks burst out and sprayed on the long shield above the head of the Nine Shadows Army. Most of the bolts bounced off the shield the moment they hit the shield, spinning in mid-air.
But there were also a few crossbow arrows that went down the gap between the shields and hit the Nine Shadow Army. For a while, there were also hundreds of Nine Ghost Soldiers who were splashed with blood in the cries of pain.
"Retreat. Seeing that the crossbow arrows of the Xudu Army were resting for a while, Xiao Shizhu immediately ordered.
The shields of the Nine Ghost Army were put down in unison, which was quite spectacular. Then the infantry holding the rainstorm gun pointed the fire gun in their hands at the left and right armies of the Xudu Army that were killed on the east and west sides.
The next second later, a series of gunshots filled the heavens and the earth, and hundreds of Xudu troops could not avoid it, and collided with Zi Gong who was shooting angrily.
Before they could react, Zi Gong pierced their armor and body like chopsticks stabbing tofu, leaving several bloody blood holes on their bodies, and these Xudu soldiers who were shot finally fell heavily to the ground.
The Xudu army finally understood one thing, the Jiuyou National Army temporarily stopped attacking, and it was not because they were tired of killing ghosts and killing people that they were gathered together, but in order to let the Xudu army gather and chase them everywhere.
The screams rang out again, echoing in the blood-red morning light between heaven and earth. The pungent smell of blood and * spread along the vast plains with the morning breeze.
After the crimson morning glow in the sky south of Manjiang City, the flying thunder cars of the Nine Shadows Kingdom suddenly rushed out of the clouds. The Hot Wheels on the car spun sharply, pushing hundreds of thunder cars north. In the blink of an eye, the flying thunder cars in groups of four formed several diamond formations, echoing each other and crossing the boxy Manjiang City, heading towards the battlefield.
They were urgently transferred by Xiao Shizhu from Aoki County, and the goal was to attack the enemy troops who had returned to the rear of the Jiuyou Army from the air when Xiao Shizhu was surrounded by enemy troops, and tear open the gap to break the encirclement.
Lin Cong spent nearly a year in Aoki County, in addition to sticking to various cities and places, stepping up military training and resuming production and trade in various places, he continued to use the resources in the county to establish a huge ordnance supervision sub-bureau for the Jiuyou Kingdom in Dongyi Continent, providing all kinds of weapons and ammunition for all the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
Half of the nearly 500 thunder vehicles that are now heading straight to the battlefield were made by Lin Cong in Aoki County in recent years.
And the Xudu Army, which has lost Guanyuecha in Dongyizhou, has almost lost air supremacy. Even though they still have time to ride, they have been seriously out of food recently, and those beast souls who can fly in the clouds and fog and the wind are too hungry to fly.
The flying thunder car of the Nine Shadows Kingdom dominated the sky outside Manjiang City.
Lightning shone brightly, and the dazzling electric light was sizzling, shooting out from the four spirit pestles on the flying thunder car, accompanied by a roaring thunder like falling from the sky from a thousand mountains.
The dust and rubble on the ground flew up, raising a curtain of dust and ashes. The Fusang Army and the Black Tooth Army, which had just returned to the rear of the Nine Shadows Army, as well as those corpse soul armies with self-healing power beyond ordinary people, had not yet launched an offensive, and they were mostly overwhelmed by the sea of lightning and thunder.
The dazzling electric light writhed and swam, breaking through the earth and running towards the enemy. However, in the blink of an eye, many of the Black Tooth Army and the Fusang Army were electrocuted on the outside and tender on the inside, and the skin on their bodies was scorched black, and green smoke was rising. Even the corpse soul army with strong healing ability, once hit by lightning, can only end up being wrapped in thunder and lightning, and constantly screaming and wailing under severe pain.
When the thunder and lightning dissipated, the bodies of these ghost soldiers who were hit were already on fire one after another, and one by one they became fire ghosts covered in flames, scurrying around in the dust.
The combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty, which had finally stabilized its position, was once again defeated. The enemy troops in the rear were beaten by the flying thunder cart and could not get close to the Jiuyou Army led by Xiao Shizhu, and the left and right armies of the Xudu Army were killed and wounded by the dense locust strafing of the Jiuyou Army.
As for the main force of the Xudu Army around the cloudy day, it was impossible to escape the tragedy of being bombarded by the artillery of the Jiuyou Army.
The enemy army between Xiao Shizhu was already in chaos, and roared angrily: "Nine Shadows warriors, come with me!" As soon as the words came out, he took the lead in driving the beast to rush forward, and the Nine Shadows Army behind him hurriedly followed.
The Nine Shadows Army is majestic and invincible. The army was tired and hungry, and had already been disorganized, and once again left no resistance to slaughter. Everywhere the Nine Shadows Army passed, all flesh and blood flew everywhere, and mourning was everywhere.
And the deafening roar of their guns made all the ghost soldiers of the Northern Yin Dynasty United Army feel a chill in their hearts.
