Chapter 11 The Way of the World Has Changed

Dazhenfu and Shangqing County were suddenly attacked, making the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu have no time to clone, Xu Wugui's plan is also very simple, that is, the inside and the outside should be combined, he entered the Dazhenren Mansion in danger, and the ten palace officials are advancing from the outside, and now the Daming official Wang Tianxiao and the Sanming official Wang Zhongfu dragged Zhang Jingxiu and Bai Xiushang in Shangqing County, then the second Ming official Zhong Wu and the Jiuming official Shangguan Guan took this opportunity to bypass Shangqing County and approach the outer area of Shangqing Town, which is equivalent to attacking the gate and coming to the second gate.

Fortunately, at this time, Yan Feiqing had already replaced Zhang Jingxiu to preside over the situation, one was to appease people's hearts, and the other was to open the Zhengyi Sect's mountain protection array, with the entire Dazhen Mansion as the cardinal, mobilize the eighty-one peaks and earth qi of Yunjin Mountain, and jointly form a large array. Looking from afar, huge apertures appeared one after another in the sky above Yunjin Mountain, interlocking with each other, the closer to the Dazhen Mansion, the more the number of apertures, and it can be seen that countless apertures above the Dazhenfu are layered and sparkling. The farther away from the Great True Mansion, the smaller the number of apertures, and only one aperture shrouds the farthest place. Shangqing Town is located at the foot of Yunjin Mountain, although it is also shrouded in the mountain protection array, but when the formation covers this place, it is already very weak, far from being comparable to the Great True Mansion.

At this time, a large number of Zhengyi Sect disciples had gathered in Shangqing Town, as well as many people in the rivers and lakes, led by Zhang Yueshan and Dongxuandao people who hurried to this place from the Dazhen Mansion. Shangqing Town and Shangqing County are only about fifty miles apart, the terrain of Shangqing Town is higher, and the scene of black clouds pressing down on the city in Shangqing County is just not blind, you can see it, and there are already disciples of Zhengyi Sect to investigate.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged Taoist who had hit the "Foot Plantar Cloud Method" armor horse on his leg galloped over. This kind of horse writes the words "white clouds rising", tied to the legs respectively, and recites the mantra of riding the clouds: "I hope to invite the gods of Liuding and Liujia, and the white clouds and cranes fly to the gods." The clouds on the soles of my feet are as fast as the wind, like I fly in the blue sky. "You can travel eight hundred times a day, which is also the most common armor horse, and it is mostly used for traveling."

The middle-aged Taoist stopped outside the ancestral hall in Shangqing Town, took off his horse and handed it to the Taoist priest of Zhengyi Sect who was guarding the door, and strode into the ancestral hall. At this time, there was only Zhang Yueshan sitting in the front hall of the ancestral hall, and the middle-aged Taoist made a simplified look at Zhang Yueshan, and said in a deep voice: "Shangqing County is besieged by black clouds, obviously someone has set up a formation with great divine powers, and now that the Heavenly Master and Sect Master Bai are already sitting in the city, do we want to rush to the aid of Shangqing County?"

Zhang Yueshan got up from the chair and came to the door, and glanced in the direction of Shangqing County, there was a line as black as ink at the end of the sky, and there was a rolling black cloud over Shangqing County. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Heavenly Master and the White Sect Master have already arrived, no matter what the way the attacking enemy comes from, he can't afford to make any big waves, so don't worry." The key is to guard Shangqing Town, so as not to fall into the plan of diverting the tiger from the mountain. Tell the disciples to go down, let the disciples be on strict guard, not be careless, and do not leave the town without permission. The middle-aged Taoist nodded, and just as he was about to leave, Zhang Yueshan said again: "Wait, the stakes are very high, or work hard, you go to see Uncle Dongxuan again and ask him what he means." ”

The middle-aged Taoist answered, went straight to the back hall of the ancestral hall, and after a while, he came to the door of the quiet room in the back hall, and repeated the words just now.

In the quiet room, he immediately remembered the old voice of the Dongxuan Daoist: "Since this is the case, everything is according to Elder Zhang's orders." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a dull sound like a summer thunderstorm, which was incessant. The middle-aged Taoist was slightly stunned, and he felt the ground under his feet slammed, and the patio outside seemed to shake.

The door of the ashram opened on its own, and the Dongxuandao people who had been in the ashram swept out and flew up to the sky, only to see that the edge of the town was shrouded in a thick smoke, and in the billowing white smoke, there were flames burning.

Dongxuan Daoist frowned, and for a while he couldn't tell what kind of spell this was.

The middle-aged Taoist often walks in the world, and immediately reacted, and lost his voice: "This is artillery!"

Ten miles away from Shangqing Town, thirty steel-cast artillery pieces are lined up in turn, these cannons are about one zhang long, the muzzle is about three inches wide, and the whole is more than four thousand catties.

At this time, there was still curling green smoke at the position of the gun, and it was obvious that Shangqing Town was bombarded by these artillery just now.

It was the Jiuming official Shangguan Guan who presided over the bombardment, the Taiping Sect was good at the art of ingenuity, and the Yin and Yang Sect was not far behind, especially proficient in the art of cannon casting. Artillery is not unique to the Yin-Yang Sect, the iron cavalry of Liaodong, the fleet of the Qing Weizong is equipped with a large number of artillery, compared with the artillery equipped by the imperial court today, the artillery of the Yin-Yang Sect adopts a multi-layer composite cannon body structure, and the whole cannon is composed of a composite multi-layer cannon body composed of large and small double tubes, in which the small tube is engraved with rifling, and the reloading time is shorter from the front loading shell to the rear loading projectile. On the whole, the guns of the Yin-Yang Sect are lighter in weight and have a longer range, and the shells are not solid, but flowering shells similar to the "phoenix eye", which are filled with fierce gunpowder and can cause violent explosions when they land.

The last time the Lady Sect bombarded the Vortex Mountain, it was just a small test.

After a round of shelling, the formation of Shangqing Town had collapsed.

Through the "Qianli Wang" in his hand, Shangguan Guan saw many people in the rivers and lakes who fled in panic, the ruins of the broken walls that were still burning with flames, and the corpses everywhere. These corpses were either blown in half or burned to charcoal, and those who occasionally survived were also missing arms and legs, and their faces were covered in blood.

As for the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect, there was also damage, although it was not serious, but it knocked out the self-confidence of the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect that was almost engraved in their bones, and they lost their arrogance on weekdays, and they were a little at a loss. The corners of Shangguan Guan's mouth hooked.

Why can the Yin-Yang Sect succeed? It is because the Yin-Yang Sect has never been complacent and clings to the defects, and only by forging ahead can it take the lead. As for those who hold on to their ancestors, in addition to one Zhengyi Sect, how many are left? Even if it is a Zhengyi Sect, it has also undergone several innovations, and it can be seen from the fact that the surname is not Zhang to the present Yan Feiqing, a person with a foreign surname, has become the head of the Zhengyi Sect.

While Shangguan Guan was observing the situation, a group of Yin Yang Sect disciples were cleaning the cannon chamber and reloading it.

Shangguan Guan raised his hand: "Second round loading." ”

"Reloaded. ”

"Reloaded. ”

"Reloaded. ”

The gunner's voice rang out continuously.

Shangguan Wan waved his hand violently: "Release!"

Thirty guns roared again, their muzzles spitting out more than a foot of red flame, and a huge wave of air escaping from the tail of the guns rolled up a cloud of grass clippings and dirt.

There was a whistling sound in the air, and thirty projectiles seemed to fall from the sky in Shangqing Town.

When the projectile hits the ground, it explodes immediately, and the huge wave of air, the fire of the explosion, and the scattered pieces of iron are all sharp weapons for killing. At the same time, clouds of smoke were formed, and these smoke clouds were connected in a blink of an eye, almost completely covering Shangqing Town, and the shattered earth, stones, trees, house wreckage, stumps, and corpses were constantly thrown into the air by the huge waves.

Everyone felt the tremor of the earth, their ears were full of the sound of wind and thunder, and the entire Shangqing Town was trembling, even if it was an ancestral hall guarded by a formation, countless dust fell between the beams and pillars.

Of course, these methods are not as good as the attack of the Great Grandmaster of the Heavenly and Human Realm, and even a little inferior to the full blow of the Returning Truth Realm Grandmaster, but how many people have seen the full force of the Great Grandmaster of the Heavenly and Human Realm? or have they experienced the full force of the Returning Truth Realm Grandmaster? The first round of shelling only broke the formation, and the second round of shelling turned a quarter of Shangqing Town into ruins.

The people from the rivers and lakes and the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect who had originally gathered in Shangqing Town to prepare for a fight were all shocked by this unfamiliar method.

Shangguan Wan was still not happy, and silently calculated in his heart, it would take three more shots before the barrel would overheat to the extent of exploding.

So Shangguan Guan raised his palm again: "Three rounds of loading." ”

In the time of half a burnt incense, 30 artillery pieces poured a total of 150 explosive projectiles on Shangqing Town, and "plowed" Shangqing Town back and forth like diligent old peasants. The rumbling cannon sound resounded through Shangqing Town, causing the entire Shangqing Town to be shrouded in billowing smoke and clouds, and at the same time, it was also plunged into a sea of fire.

By the time the smoke and dust gradually cleared, half of Shangqing Town had become a ruin, with countless dead and wounded, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and burning, which made people sick.

Shangguan Guan put down the "Qianli Wang" in his hand and chuckled: "Dao Chief, the world has changed. ”
