Chapter 353
It can be said that siege artillery, this kind of thing is simply a nightmare for the defenders. Although there are only 10 shells, after 10 shots, you will face the dilemma of needing to replace the barrel. And because this kind of thing is secretly made by the Tang Sect, even if the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty wants it, it can only ask the Tang Sect to customize it at a high price, and it is sent over after customization, the price is extremely high, and it is almost extinct on the battlefield.
But it was these ten shells, lethal enough. Two or three shots can shatter a gate, and before a new gate can be repaired, the defending army will have to start a real fight with the opposing army.
Although the captain also wanted to seal the city gate, he was only the strength of the Qi Refining Realm, and in the face of the sea of fire, even if he rushed up, it would be useless. can only die in vain, just after the opponent's heavy artillery fired the third shot, the original east city gate completely collapsed...... Even the original cracks have become enough for one person to pass through.
"Stop firing!" Yuwen Ye said immediately. He already regretted a little, why didn't he bring someone who knew civil engineering over, it was originally a crack that three people could pass through, but at this time, only one person could pass.
Then, many of the Southern Tang soldiers began to run outside in an orderly manner, at least, from the outside.
But from the inside, most of the Southern Tang soldiers were crowded at the exit, and from time to time a few people were killed by the falling wood from above the city wall. And the whole process can be said to be extremely slow, for a while, what was originally the only escape route has now turned into a hell.
Li Ye said directly to one of the guards beside him, "Go and open the West City Gate." ”
The guard jumped up directly from the horse, and in the next second, the coercion of the Void God Realm began to be released, and then, he said in a cold voice, "All the people, evacuate in an orderly manner, and in addition, pick out a thousand people for me and accompany me to open the passage of the West City Gate." ”
Many soldiers quieted down, and for a time many people began to evacuate in an orderly manner. And that Void God Realm master had already found a thousand soldiers in less than half a pillar of incense.
After all, there is a master of the Empty God Realm leading the team, and the master of the Empty God Realm is a symbol of invincibility on the battlefield, if they take action, the safety of their own people should be no problem.
It's just that even the masters of the Void God Realm don't have a very good way to face the fire oil and flames, and after losing nearly half of them, a thousand people finally opened the gap in the West City Gate. But by this time, the entire wooden buildings and wooden towers near the city gate had begun to collapse.
Many times, just after a few people were evacuated, a few pieces of wood with flames falling on them. The timber will crush several people and seal the exit. And many more fainted due to lack of oxygen.
And those Western Qin soldiers who were responsible for setting fires didn't know when, and completely disappeared.
A day later, the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty received news of a great victory, but this great victory was a disastrous victory, with the loss of nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, and even 20,000 soldiers were slightly injured, and they needed to recuperate for a month or two before they could fight again. Even the old emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was stunned, because this was too unreasonable.
His fifth son is thoughtful, and most of the things are self-interest before benefiting the country, which is why he doesn't like this son very much.
But it is undeniable that this time his son has made a bloody investment, not only is all the army in his own lineage, but this loss is not small at all. Although Tianfeng Pass is known as one of the three male passes, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed here in Xiqin, it is still a bit unreasonable to lose so many people, and it is estimated that there is no shortage of manpower lost by his son because of quick success.
"White Snake, are you sure that all this information is true? Even the eldest Sun Cunxiao has already died in battle? I remember that he is also a member of the pro-crown prince's line, why would he work so hard?"
"It is estimated that he has made some kind of contract with His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, and this time the eldest grandson Cunxiao infiltrated Tianfeng City to conduct an attack and harassment operation, and the chance of surviving this kind of battle is already very low. The guard, known as the White Snake, said, "Moreover, this kind of merit, once the city is broken, even if he lives or dies, he can still be rewarded with a knighthood." Although it is said that he is in the prince's line, but it is only that his distant aunt is the crown princess, and in this relationship, the prince may not reuse him, and the eldest grandson of his family needs a title. ”
"Then give his heir a knighthood. The old emperor touched his chin and said, "In addition, the people who sent you secretly told the family to stay away from the fifth prince and the crown prince in the future, and not to be accidentally killed." ”
A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the white snake, and he strengthened the title, which is probably for the balance of the first line of the crown prince and the first line of the five princes. But why did you keep this family away from the first line of the crown prince and the first line of the five princes, could it be that after His Majesty the old emperor was unwilling to hurt the heroes, shouldn't it, after watching him deal with these heroes before, it seems that he has not been soft.
As His Majesty the Emperor's closest bodyguard, soon, White Snake thought of one thing, this old immortal is likely to want to play a three-legged situation. I'm afraid that this eldest grandson Cunxiao's family is preparing for a prince who is ready to be supported in the future.
And in Tiannanguan, Qin Shuang also got the news.
The moment she saw the fire burning in the sky above the Heavenly Wind Pass, she asked the team to start retreating, doing their best and obeying the fate of heaven. Simply, this god is still very face-saving, for the news in the Southern Tang Army, Dark Ying has long inquired clearly, Yuwen Ye has siege artillery in his hands, and Li Ye has empty god realm masters under him, these are all expected things.
So in this case, Li Ye's army is still heavily damaged, and there is nothing to complain about.
At this time, another piece of news also came through Wang Yu's mouth.
"Are you saying that those remnants of the Imperial Spirit Sect came to the Governor's Mansion with the heads of the remnants of the old kingdom of Nanli to plead guilty, and my father still agreed to their surrender?" Qin Shuang muttered.
"Yes. Wang Yu said, "These remnants also plagued our land of Western Qin before. Now just killing the first evil, you want us to bypass them, you know, the most scourge of our Western Qin is these dogs, they are the direct executors. ”
"Alright, alright. Qin Shuang waved his hand directly, "With these remnants, it is simply impossible to make such a big battle." So this matter is mainly about the evil in the imperial tomb. You can take someone with you now, and give me a look at the original station of the Xuanniao Guard, and be ready to support them at any time. ”
"But some of the Xuanniaowei's people are already ready to rush here, the Longcheng Army and Yu Dingwei will arrive within three days, we will go over now......" Wang Yu didn't understand what his little young lady and the Xuanniao Guard's Xue Tianhan on the other side were planning to do. Both sides send people to support each other, is this a waste of manpower because there are too many people to be idle?
"Don't ask why, I'm just asking you to send the elite over and call all the masters above the Dark Warbler Spirit Realm. Qin Shuang felt that the masters of the Ning Dan Realm among the Dark Warblers were really unnecessary.
After all, among the subordinates sent by his father, there were several masters of the Ning Dan Realm and the Empty God Realm. These masters are used on the battlefield, which is enough to replace the original position of the Dark Warbler, so it is better to send the Dark Warbler's men to the side of the Great Sky Mountain to help. Although she wanted to send those men under her father to the side of Dakong Mountain, there were also enemies of the Empty God Realm and the Ning Dan Realm here, and the high-level strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty was not much worse than that of Western Qin.
And these masters, in the final analysis, are just acting according to orders, and their father is asking them to help them defend the city, so they will only assist themselves in defending the city. Superfluous things, not a single thing will be done. Even if they were sent to deal with ordinary Southern Tang soldiers, sometimes they were all pushing, not to mention dealing with these evil cults in Dakong Mountain, as long as they dared to issue this order, they would ensure that they would quarrel with their father in minutes, for that old man, Qin Shuang was still thinking about how to explain the current matter, how to give them this opportunity.
At this time, there was a sudden noisy sound outside, Qin Shuang looked out the window, obviously, it was the two elites of the Long Cheng Army and Yu Dingwei who came. It's really cold on this snowy day...... Charcoal in the snow. What is most lacking in his hands now is this kind of elite, although the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry can be opened with the Mo Dao Soldiers in front of him, but that is when the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry has enough time to charge.
It's not that Lieutenant Langya didn't think about riding the Xuanjia to himself, but unfortunately, he didn't ask him for it. Moreover, when he said that he wanted to give it to himself, he also refused, after all, in the case of changes in attack and defense, the role played by the Xuanjia heavy cavalry may not be much more powerful than that of ordinary soldiers.
Now Yu Dingwei and the Longcheng Army, these two armies are different, these two armies are at the same level as the Modao Battalion. And it can be said that it is the strength of the soldiers themselves to stabilize the existence of the other party, if it is not for the elite equipment of the soldiers of the Modao Battalion, they can all be hanging. With the existence of such a group of people, she can finally feel at ease, after all...... The eldest grandson Cunxiao used hundreds of Mo sword soldiers under his command to seriously injure two Ning Dan Realms under him, and also killed one, the master of the Imperial Spirit Realm, and I don't know how many died.
The situation on Qin Yue's side was much better, since the last time the ghost clan came to search, there was almost no change in the entire secret realm.
Under the deployment of drugs, Luo He's body has also returned to a normal level, and he will soon start the second blood transformation. It's just that this time Qin Yue was also a little hesitant, after all, Luo He had transformed into the bloodline of the Nine Shadow Sparrows, but the power of the Nine Shadow Sparrows was not just the bloodline of the Nine Shadow Sparrows.
Many of the Nine Phantom Sparrow races were destroyed in the ancestral hall and destroyed, and when the bloodline treasure disappeared, the Nine Phantom Sparrow that lost the bloodline treasure may not be much stronger than those demon clans.
Not only do I want to help this person who has purified the bloodline of the Nine Shadow Sparrows, but also to provide the exercises of the Nine Shadow Sparrows. These are all points that need to be obtained, and they may not be able to give them, and there is such a thing as exercises, but due to the prohibition on the bloodline, it is impossible for her to take it out.
"System, the most ordinary exercise of the Nine Sparrows, is just to the empty ......"
The system didn't give Qin Yue an answer, but just the price of points displayed on it made Qin Yue desperate. It's simply not a point he can afford right now.
And at this time, Luo Yu had already learned about the purification of the bloodline from Luo He's side. Then she thought for a while, and then said, "You go, Luoying brought it to me, I have something to explain to you." By the way, if you can, Ling Qianqiu will also call it, although she doesn't need these things anymore, but she is still a young patriarch. ”
After speaking, Luo Yu looked at a mountain peak on the side, "Ling He, you should have been born more than ten years later, maybe you are already a master of the ancestral realm now." ”
It's not that their ghost finch clan doesn't have the exercises of the Nine Phantom Sparrow clan, in fact, any race that has degraded from the Nine Phantom Sparrow clan carries bloodline treasures. These treasures are all treasures accumulated by the ancestors of these races, so the Nine Sparrow Clan has no right to recycle them, and they don't want to be thankless and offend people.
The position of the ancestral hall had been vacated, and when she came here, she was also silent, and then took out a black feather from her spatial ring. This feather is the ancestor of their clan, a magic weapon of a Nine Shadows King Sparrow, but now this magic weapon has lost its original light and has become a token and a key-like existence.
It was because he held this key that he was greedy before, and he wanted to completely kick the Ling clan from the position of the patriarch. Now, since Ling Qianqiu has found the bloodline of the Nine Shadows Emperor Sparrow, it is time for him to return this token to her. As for the geniuses under her, I hope that they will not be targeted too much, but some people are too competitive, so now among the three people, they can only call Luo Ying, who has no obvious conflict.
Ling Qianqiu arrived soon, but Luo Ying, who was as unsightly as her.
Although these two don't quarrel when they meet on weekdays, the relationship is not very good, and if they do, then there is no problem. But Luo Yu called them over now, probably because they had something to explain, and the two of them were extremely disgusted by doing things together, even if the relationship between the two of them was not the worst group in the clan.
"Elder Luo Yu, I don't know what the purpose of looking for me at this time? There was a hint of coldness in Ling Qianqiu's words.
Could it be that this old woman finally couldn't help it, and was ready to attack the last trace of blood of her patriarchal family?
"Young Patriarch, you don't need to suspect me, I was indeed going to kick you off the position of the patriarch before, after all, your Ling clan does not have much blood, which is extremely unfavorable to ruling the Ghost Sparrow clan. When Luo Yu said this, he didn't seem to feel guilty at all. Immediately, she took out a feather, "This thing is my dependence, it was given to me by your mother." ”
"You!" Ling Qianqiu felt a pain in her chest at this time, this woman was really shameless, and she dared to say it directly.
But when she saw the black feather, she was also completely quiet, it was a token of the ghost finch clan. As long as whoever holds this token is the patriarch, unless the real patriarch appears. When his mother is still in retreat, Luo Yu is the patriarch of the entire Ghost Sparrow clan, and even if he is the young patriarch, he may not be able to make much waves.
"Now, this thing is yours. Luo Yu said directly, "I don't care if you have any deal with the prince of the You Emperor Clan, but remember, you must bring the Ghost Bird Clan back to get the ancestral land back." ”
"You?" Ling Qianqiu looked at the black feather, although it was something she had always dreamed of. Even if he made a deal with Qin Yue, he was not even afraid of being deceived by Qin Yue, just to get this thing. But now this thing was in front of her, but she didn't know if she should reach for it. Finally, her hand stopped a few centimeters in front of the feather and asked, "Is there any condition for this thing?"
"Conditional, what do you think?" Luo Yu looked at Ling Qianqiu with a playful face, this little girl has always been self-righteous, and she is also ready to have a good and bad taste today.
"What conditions!" Ling Qianqiu didn't know why, and suddenly began to get nervous for no reason.
"The conditions have been said before, we must bring the ghost bird clan to get the ancestral land back. If you can't, don't blame me for taking back your patriarch's authority. After Luo Yu finished speaking, he put the feather in Ling Qianqiu's hand, and then said to her, "So, go and get back what should belong to you now." ”
Looking at the things in his hands, Ling Qianqiu was also a little stunned, and muttered in his mouth, "Do you want to take back what belongs to me?"
Immediately, she gently swiped the black feather on her finger, and then, the hard monster skin was cut by this feather. Immediately, as if the feather had been stimulated in some way, the surface of the entire feather began to bloom with a strange light, and then countless blood lines appeared on the feather.
When the countless blood lines extended to all parts of the ancestral hall, the entire space changed instantly, and then, a blood-red fiery red blood cell appeared in the sky.
When they saw the fiery red blood cells, the expressions of several people were different. Luo He directly showed a look of longing, as if there was something he longed for in the blood-red sun.
As for Ling Qianqiu, it doesn't feel much, although this bloodline treasure is magnificent, but compared to the You Emperor family, it is still far behind. It's just that she secretly smacked her tongue in her heart, she didn't expect that there was still such a thing hidden in the ghost bird clan, she really didn't know, there were still many things in the ghost bird clan that she didn't know. Looking at the one beside her, she found that Luo Yu's face did not have the slightest surprise, as if she had long been used to it, but hateful, how many things there were, she didn't know, but this woman knew.
As for Luo Ying on the side, she looked at Luo He, who was less talented than herself, and at this time, she actually felt that Luo He's body had burst out with a bloodline that was purer than her, and it seemed that it was still recognized by the blood cells in the sky. Why is this? It's just that the fact fortunately also gave her some comfort, Luo He only touched the blood red sun for a short time, and then fell directly to the ground.
"How is it?" Luo Yu directly caught Luo He.
"It's okay...... Just got some memories. After Luo He finished speaking, he fainted directly. Although she was right, compared to the massive memories from the blood-red sun, what she got from this sun was only a little memory, but it was this little memory that almost completely collapsed her own memory, and even fell into a crazy situation.
Luo Yu just checked Luo He's physical condition, and smiled helplessly, if it was before, the Ghost Sparrow Clan had a way to let their junior genius children enter here without being harmed. But this is not the past, and every young man of the Ghost Sparrow Clan who tries to touch the treasure of the bloodline has to risk being swallowed by this bloodline before they can enter.
"Elder, Luo He, what's the matter with her?" At this time, Luo Ying finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart.
She was called here, but what she is doing now is to exclude herself, and this feeling makes her very uncomfortable. So she was eager to know what she was looking for today.
"Her bloodline has been purified by the prince of the Youhuang clan, and she is considered the bloodline of the Nine Sparrows in front of her, so she can be recognized by the ancestors of the Nine Sparrows. Luo Yu also has no concealment from the elites he has cultivated. Then she looked at Luo Ying and said, "However, don't worry, as a person who follows me, I won't treat you badly, in a few days, I will personally go and talk to that Qin Emperor, and let him help your bloodline be purified." ”
Ling Qianqiu's face froze, she didn't expect that her ally would become an ally of the enemy. But now, the relationship between Luo Yu and himself should not be considered an enemy, but it's a pity that his mother has a daughter of his own, if there are a few more, then he may be able to cultivate the race into the same race as the Luo clan.
Ling Qianqiu had already decided to pick out a few children with better qualifications and bloodlines from his own clan, and asked Qin Yue to help improve his bloodline.
As for those resources, she will help him find them herself, and if these resources are used, she doesn't believe that there are no them in Dakong Mountain. If not, snatch the rare treasures from those evil hands and exchange them, anyway, those treasures will not play much role in the hands of these evil people.
As for Luo Yu on the side, the idea is similar to her, after all, the ghost bird clan is an existence born of robbers.
Luo Ying is very envious, but this does not mean that she will trouble her aunt, "Auntie, let's forget this matter." The difficulty of blood purification, I think, will not be small. The reason why His Royal Highness the prince has purified Luohe's bloodline is probably that he is also preparing to negotiate terms with us. I think that we can do the opposite, anyway, the matter of our race's bloodline purification is not in a hurry for this day or two. ”
"It's urgent. At this time, Ling Qianqiu on the side spoke.
Luo Ying glanced at this guy and didn't say anything. Now it's different from before, if it was before, when this person came out to interrupt, she would often be sarcastic, but now, the other party is no longer the original young patriarch, but the real patriarch. Although it has only been less than a day, and she has not been recognized by everyone in the clan, she is already the patriarch.
"Because the Yao clan inside our Great Sky Mountain has already decided to start a war with the ghost clan, this purification bloodline is a must. Luo Ying hit a Hatcher and said, "If we don't have a master in the clan in a short period of time, I'm afraid that not only will we lose the war between the demon beast clan and the ghost clan, but even in the alliance with the storm demon wolf, we will fall into disadvantage." ”
She didn't want to explain anything more to people like Luoying, but after thinking about it, Luoying herself didn't have any grudges against her. Originally, it was just a pawn used by her aunt to deal with herself, and it was not as good as the other two deliberately targeting herself. In addition, now that he has been called over by Luo Yu, it is estimated that he is the successor of Luo Yu, since he has become the patriarch, then it is also deliberate to draw him appropriately, explain more things, and he will not die.
It's just that Luo Ying's emotions immediately exploded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't the ghost clan our ally?How can it suddenly become an enemy, even if it is for the benefit of the prince of the You Emperor clan, there is no need to lose the interests of our demon beast clan." ”
Ling Qianqiu was a little stunned, she didn't expect that Luo Ying, who was silent, would have such an intense emotion.
"Have you forgotten? The ghost clan participates in the annual grand event of the ghost clan, and although the resources obtained from it are not very rich, it is enough for our ghost finch clan to survive, and even live much better than most of the demon beasts in this secret realm. It doesn't matter if you don't be grateful, now you are still helping the demon beast clan suppress the ghost clan, where do you put the interests of our ghost bird clan?" Luo Ying asked directly.
It's just that Ling Qianqiu is also angry at this time, and she originally just wanted to explain some things to Luoying. But who knows, this one came up directly to buckle his big hat, okay, since you are like this, I am too lazy to explain to you.
"Luoying. Luo Yu's voice suddenly became stern, "I am also involved in this matter, so it can be said that I should be the one who made this decision." ”
Luo Ying can be regarded as sobering up at this time, when did Ling Qianqiu, a woman, get the authority of the patriarch. I already knew it, just now, so the decision to start a war with the ghost clan was definitely not something that Ling Qianqiu came up with by patting his head, so there was only one possibility, and that was Luo Yu came up with it.
Luo Yu, this guy, although he said that he was his aunt, but this kind of decision is too child's play. It's just that the words of reprimand can't be spoken, and for Luo Yu, she can only ask "Why?"
"Why? If you really want to ask why, there are many reasons, whether it is the ghost clan encroaching on the territory of the demon beasts outside, or the ghost clan is becoming more and more rampant, gradually tearing up the contract of the year, these are all reasons. Luo Yu scratched his head, "It's just that the most important point is...... The current ghost clan is killing itself. ”
"Self-destruction?" Luo Ying repeated these words, she quickly thought of the decision made by the ghost clan now, "Are you saying that the ghost clan's plan to attack Western Qin is to bring about its own destruction?" However, many members of the ghost clan are military advisors and even generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the past, and with their action, the army of the ghost clan faced the army of Western Qin, even if it was not a crushing situation, it was deliberately maintained for nearly a hundred years, how could it be self-destruction. ”
These statements are all true, and they are also said by the ghost clan when they show off to the ghost bird clan, so now Luoying has no sense of disobedience when he says it. She didn't think that the ghost clan would be attacked by the army of Western Qin and crush for thousands of miles, even if it was really a big defeat, according to this magic circle of Dakong Mountain, it would still be possible to survive. The big deal is to start all over again and survive for hundreds of years.
"They can defeat the army of Western Qin, but they can't defeat the coalition of the entire human race. Luo Yu said, "To be honest, with the relationship between our clan and the ghost clan, there is no need to go to war over a small matter. But this incident is related to the survival of the ghost bird clan, and the human race will never allow a kingdom completely established by the ghost clan to appear on this continent. ”
"When the ghost clan defeated the Western Qin army, the more beautiful it was, the more embarrassed it was when facing the Terran coalition army. Ling Qianqiu shrugged his shoulders, "So, our demon beast clan has decided to join forces with the army of Western Qin to completely strangle these ghost clans." ”
Luo Ying didn't expect that there were so many secrets in this, but these things had nothing to do with him, and now the only thing he needed to do was to pass on the news, if he died for no reason, he would definitely not be reconciled.
"I see. Luo Ying replied a little dullly, and left the ancestral hall randomly.
Ling Qianqiu, keep an eye on her, and if she has any unusual behavior, report it immediately. Luo Yu looked at the elites cultivated by his subordinates. I don't know why.,Frowning.,I hope she doesn't go the wrong way.。。
"Why, is it that the elder doesn't believe in Luoying?" Ling Qianqiu was also a little puzzled.
It is not difficult for her to keep an eye on Luoying, and the Ghost Sparrow Clan itself is good at concealment. If you really want to hide it, if you keep an eye on anyone, I'm afraid that your fellow clan won't be able to find out. She also has some subordinates, and it is no problem to keep an eye on a Luoying, but there is no need, after all, Luoying is a core member of the Luoying clan, and loyalty is naturally self-evident.
