【462】Battle of Ryushugawa
The stars and the moon are lonely, and the night wind is depressed.
The yin qi full of anger swept through the hall in the night wind.
In the main hall, Ji Xuanyuan looked at the wind that was still puzzled, and then said in a deep voice: "You have to do this matter, and you will have to carry more generous gifts." However, this alliance must be secretly carried out and not brought to the surface, and we must secretly instigate the Lingshan Kingdom to attack the Northern Yin Dynasty and expand its territory, and provide them with food, grass, clothing and other materials. ”。
"Once the Lingshan Kingdom attracts the attention of the Xudu, we will take the opportunity to recapture the eight southeastern cities that have been invaded by the Qixing. Ji Xuanyuan paused, and said slowly to the wind: "Then the army is ready to go south and take the southeast of Fenglin Continent for itself." ”。
On the wax head of the lampstand, the green glow burned silently with the wick of the candle, illuminating the murderous aura that suddenly appeared on Ji Xuanyuan's face at a glance.
Not only did Emperor Xudu's Zhao'an continue to be angry, but even Emperor Xudu secretly provided Qixing with firearms, which also made Ji Xuanyuan angry.
"I understand. After a while, he immediately suddenly realized that after a while, he hurriedly got up and put on a whole robe, hugged his fists at Ji Xuanyuan, and said excitedly: "The king wants to take the Lingshan Kingdom as a guide to attract the attention of the Emperor of Xudu, and take the opportunity to divide the southeast area of Fenglin Continent and fight against Beiyin in the capital with a corner of land." ”。
The two countries are connected, and once an alliance is formed, there is no need for the rear.
"It is also a joint effort with Lingshan Country to carve up Fenglin Continent. At this time, the murderous aura on his face had faded, and there was a faint smile on his face Ji Xuanyuan nodded, raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and then the corners of his mouth moved, and said: "At that time, I will announce that I will not accept Zhao'an, and it is okay to stand up and be the emperor." ”。
Sure enough, as Xiao Shizhu expected, Ji Xuanyuan would not say anything, and he would also use Lingshan Kingdom as a gunman; the only miscalculation was that Lingshan Country was very impatient, and he didn't wait for Ji Xuanyuan to send envoys to provoke, so he killed the ghost envoy of Xudu first.
After thinking about it for a while, the queen stroked her palms and praised continuously: "Wonderful! Wonderful! At that time, as long as Li Mu waved his army south, and the female lu detoured eastward into the western part of the headless ghost country, he would definitely be able to catch him off guard." ”。
"Moreover, Emperor Xudu is on a crusade to the east, busy fighting with the Nine Shadows Kingdom for the two continents of Dongyi and Dongying. The only implementation of Zhao'an for Feng Linzhou shows that even if we are all reversed, he is powerless. Ji Xuanyuan nodded slowly after the wind, and said, "And he, Xiao Shizhu, is only a ghost slave, and he can also occupy half of the underworld, can't he be the Yellow Emperor alone?"
"The minister is more worried that the Emperor Xudu will be sent by the idle army in the north. After calming down, he raised his eyebrows again after some thought, and said with some concern: "He is desperate for all costs!"
"No, even if it will, it will be to deal with the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Under the green flame, Ji Xuanyuan smiled coldly: "Xiao Shizhu's name as the son of the god is his biggest scourge, and of course this is also the biggest trouble in the eyes of Emperor Xudu." ”。
After thinking about it for a while, she also felt that Ji Xuanyuan was reasonable, over the years, rumors that Xiao Shizhu was the son of a god had sprung up all over the ten continents of the underworld. Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, Emperor Xudu will definitely never allow it, there are gods other than himself in the underworld.
Although Xiao Shizhu has united a lot of ghost clans with this, he has also invisibly made himself beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Emperor Xudu's eternal number one enemy will only be Xiao Shizhu.
But Ji Xuanyuan, who has always been cunning, and the smart queen of the wind don't know, although the Emperor Xudu hates Xiao Shizhu, but he has decided the national policy of making it easy first and then making it difficult.
It's ridiculous that Ji Xuanyuan and the wind are still proud of their plans......
The light mist of the early morning, like a white veil, wafts through the forests of Mt. Ryukoma and on both sides of the Ryushu River. The crystal clear dew that overflowed in the morning mist hung on the blades of the dragon grass on both sides of the Longshu River.
After waiting on the border for several days, the army of the Xia Zhou Kingdom still did not see the reinforcements of the Jiuyou Kingdom to the pass on Longju Mountain, and finally couldn't bear to act.
In the morning mist, the sound of horns resounded between the heavens and the earth, and the ghost soldiers of Xiazhou Kingdom put out a crane wing formation of the main general with many bow infantry in the center, flanked by the heavy armored infantry led by the deputy general, and came towards the side of Longju Mountain.
The sound of heavy footsteps made the earth tremble in the morning mist, and the Xiazhou flag of Xiazhou could be seen everywhere pointing straight to the sky, and the flag was waving in the wind to cover the sky and the sun.
In the midst of the rumbling of the war drums, the garrisons on Longju Mountain were in position and ready for battle, and Ji Yanxuan hurriedly climbed the north tower on the top of the mountain, and looked at it from a distance by the railing, and almost turned his back on his back with a smile.
It was indeed true that the enemy commander under the mountain used the crane wing array for encirclement, but the straw bale commander actually arranged the siege vehicles, nest carts, bed crossbows and other bulky siege equipment in front of the army, and as the vanguard of the army, he led the ghost soldiers to step forward step by step.
It looks menacing, but in fact, those tall or generous siege equipment completely hinder the archers' shooting range, not to mention, but also slow down the advance of the army.
"Large curved artillery was in position, bombarding the infantry behind the siege machine. Medium direct-fire guns only need to hit those siege engines. Happy to be nervous and serious, but Ji Yan, who was full of smiles, said loudly to the herald beside him: "The small artillery, whether it is a curved or direct fire, is on standby, waiting for the enemy to approach the mountain and open fire." ”。
"All the soldiers were loaded, and the enemy was brought close and fired. As soon as Ji Yan gave the order, the drummer immediately beat the war drums like a storm.
The herald shouted the order of Ji Yan and rushed towards the bottom of the castle tower, and the standard-bearer standing on the top of the tower waved the command flag in his hand and passed the order to each soldier.
In less than a moment, green smoke rose from Longju Mountain. The roaring cannon shook the heavens and the earth, and more than a dozen cannonballs wrapped in flames shot out from Longju Mountain with a long roar that broke through the air, drawing a dazzling arc in front of the two armies, and it fell on the ghost soldiers of Xiazhou who were surging towards Longju Mountain like a raging wave behind those siege equipment.
At the moment when the shell landed, hundreds of Xiazhou ghost soldiers flew with the violent explosion on the ground, and the raging flames immediately rose into the sky with the billowing gunsmoke, and the dozens of Xiazhou ghost soldiers closest to the explosion point were also immediately annihilated in the sea of fire.
The large artillery of the defenders of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is a poisonous fire cannon, and this kind of shells that can burst into high-temperature flames in an instant are the most effective against enemies who are densely packed.
Not only can it kill enemies when it explodes, but the flames it raises can also deal damage in a wide area. By the time the second round of shelling began, more than 1,000 ghost soldiers of Naxia Prefecture had died under the artillery fire.
At this moment, the medium artillery on Longju Mountain had already fired, and they were firing the invincible Sky Thunder Cannon.
The Nine Shadows Kingdom uses the ghost and god skills left by the ancient gods to create a lot of special artillery fire, but the most special thing is the thunder cannon of this day, which can also burst out of the Dao Dao like a thunderbolt in the explosion, which can not only paralyze the enemies around the explosion point, but also break through the iron, and the destructive power is no worse than the poisonous fire cannon.
After more than a dozen cannons fired in unison, the dazzling flashing lightning of the Dao Dao shot out in the explosion, and many of the siege equipment of the Xiazhou Kingdom were immediately torn into broken boards and broken wood, and the dust on the ground was flying, and a gray mist spread out under Longju Mountain.
After three rounds of shelling, hundreds of ballistas and dozens of nest cars shattered into a pile of broken logs in the explosions and lightning and thunder. The beast soul pulling the nest cart was either smashed into a pile of minced meat by the explosion, or it was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside by the thunder and lightning.
Those who survived were all scattered their four hooves when the reins were broken, scurrying around like headless flies, stumbling the ghost soldiers of the Xiazhou Kingdom around them, or being trampled by the hooves of the beasts to the point that ghost blood was coming out of their mouths and noses, and their lives were whining and undecided dust.
For a time, the ghost soldiers of Xiazhou Kingdom were in chaos.
The shelling continued, and the ghost soldiers of Xiazhou were still killed and wounded. In the flames of the explosion, heart-rending screams and painful cries could be heard everywhere.
The enemy commander Youdu naturally didn't expect that the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was more powerful than that of the Northern Yin Dynasty, not only fighting far, but also powerful. A cannon burst into smoke and flames, exploding a blurred piece of flesh with fire.
However, the attack had already begun, and Youdu was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to desperately order his soldiers to brave the fierce artillery fire to rush and kill.
Youdu believed that he had an army of 100,000 under his command, and even if he stepped on it with his feet, he could flatten this small Longju Mountain.
But he not only underestimated the power of the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but also underestimated the opponent's ammunition reserves. On the second day after the capture of Shanwan, the Jiuyou Kingdom established an ordnance supervision sub-bureau in Shanwan, which did not produce anything else, only made fireballs and shells.
Therefore, although there were not many garrisons in Aoki County, there was plenty of ammunition.
The artillery fire continued all over the world, and the gun eye of the dark fort on Longju Mountain had stretched out of the dark gun.
The muskets rang out loudly, and the guns flew in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the firebolts shot from the Longju Mountain were like a shower of fire at the soldiers of the Xiazhou State. The ghost soldiers of the Xiazhou Kingdom, who had already been blown up by artillery, were caught off guard, and when they boarded, they were hit by the firearms of the Jiuyou National Army on the mountain.
And the dozens of ghost soldiers of the Xiazhou Kingdom who rushed quickly and luckily, after dodging the artillery and gunfire, bent their bows and shot angrily into the sky. The iron arrows broke through the air, like flying locusts, and roared towards the turrets under Longju Mountain, and in an instant, more than a dozen soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom were shot by the rain of arrows and fell from the towers.
The northwest side of Longju Mountain is in full swing, and Zhuhai under the mountain in the west is also ready for battle. The eyes of the five hundred horsemen who followed them were full of determination, and their faces were full of fearlessness.
The thing in the hands of the riders is the mace commonly used by the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Country Road. And the deputy, who sat behind the rider, showed a rainstorm gun with a bayonet more than a foot long.
Zhu Hai, who is the leader, is not accustomed to firearms, and he still holds his hammer in his hand.
Seeing that the ghost soldiers of Xiazhou had suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of artillery fire, and after the vanguard was defeated, Zhu Hai did not speak, but just swung the hammer in his hand forward, and then rushed forward with the beast.
The cavalry behind him followed, and with Zhu Hai like a strong wind, they swept towards the ghost soldiers of Xiazhou State.
When five hundred elite cavalry rushed into the enemy formation, Xia Zhouguo had not yet reacted. The cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom not only has excellent riding skills, but also has no extra tricks in every hand, and the mace in his hand will inevitably make the soul of a ghost soldier of the Xiazhou Kingdom scattered.
In addition, the Jiuyou National Army had shelled nearly ten rounds, and the ghost soldiers of the Xiazhou State had already been frightened by the sound of the roaring artillery; even though there were as many as 100,000 ghost soldiers in the Xiazhou Kingdom, more than half of the sergeants had no intention of fighting.
The air waves between the stone explosions and the earth were tumbling endlessly, and the Iron Cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was like a sharp arrow like a bamboo, rampaging in the Xiazhou National Army, and everywhere it went, it was full of swords and lights, and the blood was stinking to the sky.
On the edge of the Ryushu River, which should have been gentle and soft, in the smoke and blood light, under the screams and killing sounds that resounded through the heavens and the earth, it instantly became a huge slaughterhouse, a hell full of stumps and broken meat.
The ghost soldiers of the Xiazhou Kingdom, which was close to the foot of Longju Mountain, were gradually divided into dozens of pieces by the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
