[542] Miscalculation
The sky was low, and dark clouds like lead blocks spread out in the sky, tightly blocking the light of the stars and moon. The cold and icy wind swirled on the ground, blowing the grass and trees in the city to sway left and right, and the storefronts to sway.
On the Ten Thousand Souls Hall on the top of Luo Yu Mountain, the candle flame in the lampstand flickered, and the Emperor Xudu who was lying on the floating gold imperial couch in the hall suddenly woke up, sat up from the bed, gasped for breath, and sweated with the beans on his forehead.
Looking at his appearance, and the faint horror in his eyes, he estimated that he had just had some nightmare.
Frightened, Emperor Xudu panted and looked around. On the huge empty hall, he was the only ghost, and he couldn't help but look empty.
And the rough panting of the Emperor Xudu also became harsh in the empty hall. And at this moment, there was also a surge of loneliness in his heart, which instantly filled his heart.
After being stunned, Emperor Xudu lifted the quilt that covered him, stood up, jumped on tiptoe, and landed on the edge of the pool.
The couch trembled slightly, and ripples rippled in the pool.
He stepped barefoot on the cold emerald jade floor tiles and walked slowly to the west wall of the main hall. Hanging on this wall is the second in the underworld, and one of the only two complete maps of the ten continents of the underworld.
For some reason, after waking up, Emperor Xudu still has palpitations. This feeling has not appeared for a long time, and it always makes him a little flustered.
His gaze swept towards the exquisite map, and suddenly the detailed landscape in the map met his eyes.
The hall with closed doors and windows was silent, but outside the hall was a loud wind from the vulcan, and there was a sharp whistling one after another, like a wild laugh and a scream. Suddenly galloping forward, suddenly sweeping and slamming.
Through the soft white light emitted from the bright moon beads embedded in the walls of the hall and the golden pillars, Emperor Xudu set his eyes on the Junzi Port in Dongyizhou on the map.
For some reason, ever since he woke up from his nightmare, Emperor Xudu had always had a sense of foreboding haunting him. He always felt that the Beiyin Water Division led by Di Tu Raccoon would encounter an accident in Junzi Harbor.
Di Tu Raccoon has led the naval division for the Northern Yin Dynasty for thousands of years, has experienced hundreds of times of counterinsurgency and banditry, and has extremely rich experience in naval warfare. However, Emperor Xudu also knew that Xiao Shizhu was an out-and-out villain, and he never played cards according to common sense in battle. In order to ensure victory, any yin trick can be used, even yin damage and viciousness.
In this regard, the raccoon dog is not as good as Xiao Shizhu at all.
It was from this that the Emperor Xudu's apprehension was born.
There is another point, and that is the threat from Fenglin Continent.
Emperor Xudu originally thought that after the end of the rebellion in Fenglinzhou, he used the army under the command of the Hades who accepted Zhao'an, set off from Fenglinzhou, and traveled west to the east of Dongyizhou, forming a left and right encirclement of Xiao Shizhu.
But now Fenglin Continent is in chaos, rebelling against Yu Xian and his army, as well as the Hades who accepted Zhao'an, they have started a guerrilla. The tactics seem to have been passed on by Xiao Shizhu, not mainly to kill the enemy, but more often to rush to attack the logistics materials of the Xudu army.
In this way, in less than a year or two, the threat in Fenglin Continent cannot be completely eliminated, and there is no way to send troops from it to attack Dongyi Continent with peace of mind.
Thinking about these things, Emperor Xudu was upset. He has ruled the underworld for 10,000 years, and there has never been a time when he is so anxious.
He had to reconsider his strategic deployment, and even had the idea of recalling the tens of millions of powerful ghosts who were sent to the yang world to bewitch people's souls and do evil.
If he has this army, then he can attack from many sides and wipe out all the rebels in the underworld. Let the centralization of the underworld return to his hands again.
While pondering, Emperor Xudu slowly withdrew his gaze. After a turn, he paced up the hall in a deep voice.
After pacing back and forth between the golden pillars for a long time, Emperor Xudu stood behind the door of the main hall, and as soon as his robe was thrown off, the thick door of the palace suddenly opened as if it was held by an invisible hand.
The howling yin wind outside the hall poured in instantly, blowing the thin silk bedclothes on the Emperor Xudu's body for a while.
Seeing this, the guards guarding outside the door hurriedly knelt down, lowered their heads and looked at the ground, not daring to raise them rashly.
"Passed the decree, ordered the ghost wrestler on duty to go down the mountain quickly and recruit Meng Po into the palace. After a little silence, Emperor Xudu said slowly to the guards......
In Dongyizhou, the artillery fire outside Junzi Harbor was overwhelming, covering the sound of wind and rain.
One after another, the cannonballs rubbed against the air and broke the wind and danced angrily, and with a snort, they shot towards the right flank of the Beiyin Water Division.
Rapidly swirling heat waves swirled around the cannonballs. In the blink of an eye, it was like a meteorite meteorite falling from the sky, and it crashed into the warship of the Northern Yin Water Division with a thunderbolt, exploding with a loud bang, raising a dazzling flame, tearing through the darkness in the rain and fog.
Hundreds of dense cannonballs followed, smashing into the formation of ships, causing a loud roar, tearing apart the warships of the Beiyin Water Division, and the broken wood flew down and rushed into flames.
Through the monstrous firelight, it can be seen that there are raging flames on the deck of the warship of the right-wing sailors under the roaring and trembling, like a fire dragon with teeth and claws, like a viper dancing wildly, swept up and whistling and dancing with thick smoke.
Many sailors of the Northern Yin Dynasty were covered in flames, staggering and running, or fighting indiscriminately, and finally either died miserably under the flames, or jumped into the sea one after another.
For a while, the screams of the Beiyin Water Division were endless, and the heart-rending people were terrified.
You don't need to look closely to know that the cannonballs that came from the darkness after the rain and fog came from the guns of the warships of the Gonggong Naval Division.
Although he didn't know that this new type of ship cannon was called the Falling Star Cannon, he also knew that with such ferocious firepower and extremely high rate of fire, only the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom could do it.
The right eyebrow of the cicoon dog twitched, and when the anger in his eyes did not decrease but increased, his heart sank, and he secretly screamed that it was not good.
The Raccoon Dog had anticipated his miscalculation, and the Gonggong Sailor who followed showed that the Nine Shadows Army had been prepared for this night attack. As for the retreat of the Gonggong Navy Division before dark, eighty percent of them did not temporarily avoid the front because of heavy losses, but most likely went to replenish artillery fire.
This time, the cocoon dog did not expect to be wrong; the co-workers did not retire temporarily, but went to a coast 80 miles south of Junzi Port to supply artillery shells.
During the day's war, his ship's artillery consumed at least tens of thousands of shells. If you don't hurry up and resupply, you won't be able to cope with the night attack.
Presumably, the co-working sailor has long been dormant outside Junzi Harbor, waiting for the arrival of the civet dog. And they also thought the same as the dog, taking advantage of the blurred vision of the rainy night, extinguishing the lights on the ship, using the demon spirit with the eye of the night at the helm, and at the same time using the demon soul as the gunner, they can shoot in the dark.
And the Nine Shadows Army in Junzi Harbor is also ready to fight back, just waiting for the arrival of the Raccoon Dog.
The reason why the Nine Shadows Army is like a god is only because their officers learned the first lesson in the school palace, and they were empathetic. All strategies and tactics are built on this basis.
Seeing this continuous wind and rain, they thought that the raccoon dog would not give up this great opportunity easily. And empathy made them think that the Xudu Army was proud, and the Beiyin Water Divisions who had suffered losses during the day would never stop there.
For this reason, the garrison in the port of Gentleman is also prepared for defense. The Flying Mine Truck, which had come from Aoki County to transport ammunition supplies for them, was left behind.
A trap that was enough to make the Beiyin Water Master suffer again quietly unfolded in the rainy night, and the Raccoon Dog did not disappoint them, and actually came as scheduled, and got in without warning.
Just when the ship formation on the right flank of the Xudu Army was constantly bombarded by Liantian artillery fire, there were also thunderclouds in the sky over the flagship of the Ditu Raccoon Dog. The sound of thunder and thunder shook the deck under his feet.
Not only the earth raccoon dog, but even most of the sailors of the Northern Yin Water Division had not yet reacted, and behind the dark clouds in the air, there was a sword-like electric light, cutting through the darkness and falling from the sky.
The flying thunder car behind the dense clouds began to roar.
The spectacular thunder and lightning quickly fell, hitting the warships of the Northern Yin Water Division one after another. Suddenly, the thunder and lightning connected to the sea and the sky burst out with dazzling electric light in the ship formation, which smashed the deck of the warship of the Northern Yin Dynasty with holes, and the mast broke the sail and ignited.
There were also thunderbolts piled up on the deck of the shells, and the explosions that they caused in an instant blew huge gaps in the hull. Seven or eight times out of ten, the ships were not only pierced through the deck but also through the bottom plate by sharp lightning, and even the keel was shattered.
In the blink of an eye, many of the warships of the Xudu Army leaked. Some even have the bottom cabins flooded, and there is a tendency to be silent. Fortunately, the warship cabin of the Beiyin Water Division could be sealed, so that the sea water pouring in below could not flow through the bottom layer.
Guan Yuecha, who had come for a long time, was also struck by lightning when he came to the sky above the Northern Yin Water Division. The nimble Thunder Carts flew around the clumsy Moonpier, firing thunderbolts of lightning that struck all over the Moon.
The Xudu army on the chariot cried out in pain, and the stumps and flesh splattered with blood. Before the attack was launched, many of them caught fire and shattered.
On the surface of the sea, the raccoon dog dodged the thunder and lightning dropped by the flying thunder car, and there was a burst of anxiety in his heart. The attack of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was swift, which caught him, a veteran of the battlefield, off guard.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the flying thunder vehicles of the Nine Shadows Country, the Gonggong Water Division also broke the waves and rushed into the right wing of the Beiyin Water Division. Under the intensive bombardment of the warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the messy artillery roared endlessly, and the red cannonballs crashed into the sea, rushing into heavy waves, most of which crashed into the warships of the Beiyin Water Division, and more than a dozen warships fell into the sea of fire one after another when they boarded.
The battle situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Northern Yin Water Division, and under the strong ships and sharp cannons of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the Northern Yin Water Division who responded to the battle in a panic has no power to fight back.
The only thing that made the raccoon dog a little relieved was the officers and soldiers of the sailor division who had landed on Black Pine Island.
Just as he jumped to his feet, dodged a lightning bolt that fell close to his side, and fell to the deck, the Black Pine Island in front of him suddenly exploded.
The raccoon dog reflected the blazing fire, and infinite horror appeared in its eyes. He miscalculated again, it was not that the black-lit Black Pine Island was unfortified, but that all the Nine Shadows Army stationed on the island had gone into the underground tunnels.
And before that, the Nine Shadows Army had already covered the island with stone shells*. These* all carry the steel wheel flint* developed by those firearms researchers in the Nine Shadows Kingdom Weapons Prison. It is a set of transmission mechanisms placed in the receiver, and when the enemy steps on the motor, the falling stone in the receiver falls, driving the steel wheel to rotate, and the flint is sharply rubbed against the fire, detonating*.
And they are all sub-mother mines, and after an explosion, they can detonate a number of * around them, bringing a wide range of damage.
All of a sudden, the sound of thunder on Black Pine Island continued to roar, and the flames soared in all directions, and the smoke of gunpowder continued to rise. The bombing caused the earth and rocks on the island to fly, and the Xudu army that landed on the island suffered countless casualties, and many of them had broken arms and legs, lying in the smoke of flames* and screaming in pain.
