【536】Earth Motion
The violent shaking shook every inch of land in Xuanyuan City, tore the obvious cracks in the earth, and also shook the dust on the top of the beams and pillars on the hall in the depths of Jimeng, like a drizzle, so that everything in the hall was immersed in gray.
Ji Meng and Gan Liu, the two generals, immediately relieved themselves after a short period of stunned, and after they coughed a few times in the falling dust, the three ghosts rushed out of the main hall at the same time and stood in front of the halls. As soon as they left the main hall, they saw a loud noise coming from the southeast outside the palace, and there were silky, tidal colorless clouds flying horizontally in the sky, and the large, black Lingzhi-like clouds and smoke stood upright like pillars in the place where they exploded.
The flames then rose, instantly illuminating the dark sky in the dark sky red. Immediately afterwards, smoke and smoke covered the sky, and there was a dullness under the sky. After a long time, this strange black cloud mixed with pungent gunpowder smoke dissipated with the scorching wind and heat wave.
When Ji Meng's heart tightened, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched suddenly. The place where the smoke rose to the sky after the fire and smoke could clearly be seen was the place where he placed the artillery of the Xudu Army.
There were not only Ten Thousand Flames Flying Sand and Ghost Fire God Cannons, but also Nether Ghost Cannons and Ten Thousand Tons of Cannonballs, all of which were stored and placed in the place where the flames rose into the air at this time. And around him, he arranged heavy guards, which can be regarded as a military powerhouse in Xuanyuan City now. Obviously, this spectacular explosion was the result of a ghost sneaking in under heavy escort and igniting all the ammunition in the ammunition depot.
If all the ammunition hadn't been ignited, it would not have been possible to bring such a violent explosion.
And the culprit, Ji Meng guessed, was that Bacheng was done by the Xiong State Army, who had been fighting guerrilla warfare with the Xudu Army. Not only him, but even the second general Ganliu also thinks so.
At this moment, the sound of wailing and crying came from the place where the flames were rising in the distance, and the sound was heartbreaking, and the ghosts all heard it, and their hearts changed color one after another.
And Ji Meng, who was far away in the palace, trembled with anger because of these wails and cries. But he had no idea that the damage caused by the explosion was far beyond his imagination. I didn't know that this was not done by the Xiong Guojun at all, but the Ghost Mother ordered the Xuanjiao cultists lurking in Fenglin Continent to send the fungus people to sneak into their ammunition depot, and through the ability to connect with the divine sense, and at the same time ignite all the ammunition and shells of the Xudu Army, so as to bring such a magnificent and shocking explosion.
After igniting it*, the mushrooms quickly left with a retreat, leaving the Xudu army guarding the ammunition depot unguarded.
The reason why this was done was nothing more than that the ghost mother wanted to teach a lesson to the innocent Xudu army and weaken the military strength of the Northern Yin Dynasty at the same time.
At the point of the explosion, a loud explosion like thunder threw all the big trees within a radius of three to five miles from the ground, their roots rising upwards and downwards, and they were instantly ignited by the flames in the air, and left dozens of scorched black soil pits several feet deep on the ground. Even after the explosion, there were still clouds of smoke rising from the crater.
As for the houses at the explosion site and in the vicinity, they all collapsed suddenly in the earth-shaking explosion, the walls were cracked, and the beams were mostly shattered into powder, and they became a charred black ruin with earth on top and tiles below. And the artillery of the Xudu Army, without exception, became countless scrap metal in the explosion.
Most of the artillery guns rose and flew into the air with the scorching wind and heat wave and violent impact force brought by the explosion, and half of the guns had been torn into hot broken iron and steel slag when they were fired into the sky, and the wheels mounted on the guns were twisted and deformed, and after cutting the arc of the road in the air, like a dense rainstorm, with bursts of scorching hot winds fell.
Nine out of ten of the three artillery units of the Xudu Army and the six infantry of the Xudu Army who were guarding the surrounding area were killed in the flames of the explosion on the spot. Under the sweeping flames and the roaring wind, there were thousands of holes everywhere, and the charred black souls with flames, as well as the stumps and severed arms overlapped and covered the ground, and the filth composed of blood and scorching stench was permeated. Those who survived were also seriously injured. Either his hands and feet were broken by the explosion, or his lower body was lost, or he was scorched black as carbon by the heat wave and flames, and even if he picked up half his life, he was disfigured, or ended up with a lifelong disability. In the future, let alone carrying a knife to kill the enemy, it will be difficult to even take care of yourself.
In an instant, Ji Meng not only lost all his artillery, but also exploded with nearly 10,000 ghost soldiers. And there are thousands of ghost soldiers, who were also seriously injured by the explosion.
The night wind was scorching, and the flames left on the ground after the explosion were burning. And the sky above Xuanyuan City was still red by the flames.
"Hurry up and organize firefighting and rescue the wounded. Ji Meng, who was trembling but increasing, roared angrily at the second general Gan Liu: "Quickly strengthen the city defense and patrol, and track down the traitors who secretly pursue and kill the artillery." ”。
The second general Gan Liu hurriedly answered, hurriedly left, and organized a rescue.
Ji Meng, who was still standing in place, looked at the distance, the firelight that lit up the city under the black smoke, gritted his teeth angrily, and at the same time there was a burst of gurgling sound in his mouth, he clenched his fists angrily, and let his fingertips sink deep into the flesh of his palm......
The night was deep, and the inky darkness came like a tide. The stars in the sky were dimmed because of this.
Outside the city of Manjiang, the traces left after the fierce battle during the day are still there. The pungent blood still wafted through the air, disgusting.
Ten miles north of the city, in the Chinese army camp of the United Army, she was still dressed in mourning clothes on a cloudy day, and on the body of the rod holding her, countless ferocious-looking imps were carved, making a jet-black iron rod that looked like she was struggling to climb towards the top of the stick, looking around at the ghost generals who were in two rows under her.
At the head are two souls, one tall and one short. The tall and majestic ghost was the general of the flail, the golden yoke, wearing a golden hoop and a red embroidered robe, with a fierce face on his red round face, and his protruding eyes and fangs, which made him even more hideous;
They are the shackle generals of the Beiyin Dynasty, who are famous. In the past, they were responsible for sending the reincarnated ghosts to the Nahe Bridge, and they were also the generals who guarded the book of life and death.
In order to kill Xiao Shizhu, Emperor Xudu transferred them to assist in the Yin Tian campaign. In order to ensure that Xiao Shizhu could die in Dongyi Continent, Emperor Xudu also asked the supernatural ghosts to make a few boxes of secret weapons, which were shackled by the generals' side.
Cloudy Sky had a gloomy eye in his eyes, and asked coldly: "How many casualties?"
"The guns of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are too powerful. When Jin Suo heard this, a trace of shame flashed on his face: "In the battle of two hours during the day, our army suffered nearly 100,000 casualties, and more than 200,000 black-toothed ghost soldiers and Fusang troops were killed and wounded. ”。
"Smack!", but seeing the cloudy sky with anger on Tie Qing's face, he broke off the armrests of the table and chair. Then the five fingers of the hand holding the broken handrail clenched, and the handrail in the palm of his hand was pinched into powder.
The Xudu Army had fought so many enemies in the Underworld, but the casualties had never been fought in any battle with the Nine Shadows. After only two hours of siege by a million heroes, a million strong soldiers were damaged, and the chest of the cloudy sky was congested.
"Xiao Shizhu, this lowly dog prison, has injured countless of my soldiers, and this revenge will be avenged. After Yin Tian secretly made up his mind in his heart, he calmed down the anger in his heart, and said slowly to the ghost generals in front of him: "Xiao Shizhu will pay the price for this; Although the artillery is advanced, we can also move him to an earthquake and let him die a little more. ”。
When he finished speaking, Cloudy Sky set his eyes on the red lacquered wooden boxes beside the shackled generals.
The shackle general tilted his head, and a faint excitement appeared in his eyes. The other ghosts were a little confused, but they knew what Cloudy Sky meant.
Those chests contained nothing else, but earth talismans made by supernatural ghosts. Once this kind of sigil is attached to the ground, it will cause a strong movement within half a zhang near the sigil, which can last for half an hour. The only drawback is that this talisman is afraid of water and fire, and once it gets wet or ignited, it will be timeless.
However, Emperor Xudu prepared several large boxes for the cloudy day, with more than 100,000 earth talismans. Once all of them are scattered in the city of Manjiang, they can shake the entire city of Manjiang, and all the houses in the city will collapse and the ground will be shattered.
In the strong earthquake, the houses in the city collapsed and the ground cracked, and Xiao Shizhu and his Jiuyou National Army were bound to be damaged. Most importantly, the earthquake could reduce his fortifications to ruins and ruins.
By daybreak, Xiao Shizhu's army would have to face the cavalry and elephant soldiers of the Xudu Army with flesh and blood on the plain, as well as the impact of chariots.
Yin Tian's eyes also flashed with excitement, as if he had seen the military flag of the Xudu Army and the ghost flag of the Northern Yin Dynasty planted on Xiao Shizhu's corpse.
"How long will it take to get to the moon?" asked Yun Tian's excited fingers, and he suddenly stood up. At the same time, a gust of wind whirled around him.
In order to win the victory of this crusade, Emperor Xudu prepared fifty ships for the army, of which thirty were still outside Junzi Harbor, guarding the fleet of the Raccoon Dog, and the other twenty came to the south by land on a cloudy day.
However, relying on the ability of the crafting material Shadow Wood to fly into the air, and the ability to run with the volley rune, the speed of the Guanyue Cha is like a snail, far less fast than that of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which is powered by Hot Wheels. And in order to ensure that all the strength is not exposed immediately, the twenty ships that follow the cloudy sky are always behind the army.
"The scouts will return, there will be half an hour at most before the Guanyuecha can catch up. After a little reflection, General Silverlock returned.
"Can't wait, gather our air cavalry immediately. After a little hesitation, the iron rod in his hand slammed into the ground on the cloudy day, and ordered the ghost generals under him: "Distribute the earth movement talisman to these air riders, let them fly to the sky above Manjiang City, and sprinkle the earth movement talisman." ”。
When the sky was cloudy, he suddenly took a step forward, and then told the ghost generals under him: "Tell the air cavalry that you can't land to kill the enemy, let alone fly at a low altitude." Xiao Shizhu's way of fighting resembles a street fight, and he does everything. He must already have a way to restrain the air cavalry and air raids, so he must be cautious!"
"No. After the ghost generals under her command responded in unison, they carried the big boxes and withdrew from the Chinese army's tent under the wave of their hands on a cloudy day.
The cloudy day watched them leave, and his eyes kept glued to the large boxes they carried. The Earth Movement Talisman is inside, and these sigils will turn a magnificent Hades capital into ruins, and kill countless Nine Shadow Armies.
"Xiao Shizhu, you never know that the advanced military skills you advocate are far less than one-ten-thousandth of the ghost arts. "Standing alone in the empty tent on a cloudy day, looking at the tent door that was stirred by the night wind and making a hunting sound, he muttered to himself.
