Chapter 499: Meat Grinder 3
The instantaneous change made the people in the hydrogen balloon who were hit scream.
Xiao Yue's eyes also contracted, and even Ming Xuozi and Hongyunzi opened their mouths wide, they didn't expect such a thing to happen.
But...... But after the lightning, the hydrogen balloon turned out to be ...... Only on the hanging basket, there was a faint electric flash.
Satsuki breathed a sigh of relief and began to command calmly: all the balloons continued to fall at their original speed, escaping the foggy area, but stopped landing at a height of one kilometer above the ground.
Ming Xuozi looked at Xiaoyue's command, and surprise flashed in her eyes, a little girl actually had the breath of pointing out the country at this time.
And Hongyunzi whispered in Ming Xuzi's ear, "What a little girl, what a Zhang family." ”
The hydrogen balloon gradually came out of danger and began to descend to the rear, which by this time was almost a hundred kilometers away from the starting point.
The hydrogen balloon stopped about a kilometer from the ground, Satsuki took a deep breath and continued to order: "Everyone prepare, open the valve of the balloon balloon, and then ...... Jump off!"
No one asked why, and no one hesitated. These personnel from the Zhang family did not hesitate to open the valve of the balloon to deflate, and then everyone jumped out of the hanging basket one after another, and if the cultivation was not enough, they used the talisman seal to carry the flight, and everyone quickly converged to the ground.
And Xiao Yue also turned her head to look at Ming Xuzi and Hongyunzi, "Two seniors, let's jump down too." ”
"Why, isn't it good?" asked Ming Xuzi, a puzzled expression. The same goes for Hongyunzi next to her.
"Just in case. Satsuki doesn't explain too much.
Ming Xuzi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's leave." ”
Ming Xuzi raised a floating cloud and carried everyone down.
After everyone fell to the ground, Satsuki immediately organized everyone to stay away from the landing area of the balloon. In the sky, the balloon gradually descended again as the hydrogen gas was released. But it's not too fast, and it's drifting away with the wind.
Satsuki looked nervously at the hydrogen balloon, but Ming Xuozi and many soldiers looked at the misty area. At this time, the fog area was already gloomy, with lightning and thunder and clouds above. Already raindrops are falling.
Suddenly, there was an explosion, lightning and thunder, and it rained heavily in the misty area.
And just then, the first hydrogen balloon was about to land. But at the moment when the balloon basket was less than ten meters close to the ground, the negative charge carried by the balloon and the positive charge of the earth attracted each other, and a small but dazzling lightning appeared instantly, and the lightning directly penetrated the gondola and the airbag.
"......Boom" exploded, and a flame exploded. The gondola, as well as the air sac about ten meters or so in the lower half of the balloon, were instantly extinguished, and a ball of flames rolled over. And this is just the beginning, the rest of the balloon, there are constantly violent explosions.
Because the balloon was more than 50 meters high, this flame exploded three times in succession, and the entire balloon turned into a ball of flames of more than 100 meters.
The air folded, the ground was overturned, and everyone felt the sky and the earth shaking.
Ming Xuozi, Hongyunzi, and countless others were stunned and sweated coldly...... They just took this thing to heaven!
But that's just the beginning. The next moment, another balloon exploded.
In addition, the hydrogen storage tank in the first balloon gondola also began to explode. These explosions were more violent than 460 mm shells. The flames rushed up several hundred meters into the air, and a large amount of hydrogen gas was sprayed around, causing a secondary explosion in the surrounding air.
The dull shock wave spread wildly, and it actually formed the effect of a thermobaric bomb, and some of the ones who were close and had low cultivation turned pale in an instant, and they had already suffered internal injuries.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue shouted to everyone to leave here, at least more than a kilometer.
The sky-high balloon kept falling and exploding. At first, a few of them were still attracted to the ground, but after only six balloons exploded, there seemed to be a faint floating flame in the air - it was the large amount of hydrogen emitted before, especially the hydrogen storage tank in the gondola.
In the next moment, all the remaining hydrogen balloons exploded, and the world was turned upside down in an instant, and the shock wave scared Ming Xuzi a kilometer away.
Unlike the explosion of artillery shells, the explosion of hydrogen balloons is in mid-air, and twenty hydrogen balloons explode one after another, which is almost equivalent to twenty super thermobaric bombs. A 'burning cloud' rose in the sky, this time it was really a 'burning cloud', tumbling and rushing up to a thousand meters in the air, a gorgeous - but at this time, I am afraid that no one thinks this thing is gorgeous, and the horror is almost the same.
Compared to gunsmoke, the flame and smoke clouds (water vapor) burned by hydrogen are much purer.
The frantic explosion caused a strong wind and flew sand and rocks. Ming Xuozi had a little hard to hold up the protective enchantment, he was amazed by the madness of the explosion in front of him, but he also felt a burst of fear - just now, we did a good death, and we took this thing to the sky!
What about Xiao Yue, the little girl's eyes rolled, and suddenly she cried, squatted down and cried, "All the balloons are over, Miss will kill me." Whining......
The balloons that Miss had prepared for a year were ready to be used when they got married, and now they are all gone, all gone, woo...... Miss, I'm sorry for you......"
The little girl crying is called a sad heart, that is the sadness of the hearer, and the cry of the listener.
Looking at the flames that quickly disappeared in front of him, looking at the debris of the burning balloons floating in the sky, and then looking at the crying Xiaoyue, he suddenly had a feeling of great guilt:
Look, in order to support the Xuanzhen Sect, the Dayang Group has even taken out the things that are ready to get married! What is the bottom of the box, this is it!
So the question is, how should the Xuanzhen Sect compensate?
Before this, Ming Xuozi really hadn't considered the price of the 'hot air balloon', and always felt that it was just some mundane things, and it was not a spiritual treasure magic weapon, so it shouldn't be worth much. But by this time his mindset had changed.
This thing costs ...... Definitely not low!
Listen, the young lady has been preparing for a year! Also, this thing can fly above the aura layer, and it can also deal with the defense line that the Loose Sect has arranged at any cost.
I turned my head to look at the 'fog zone' next to it, only to see heavy rain, and the fog faded at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the heavy rain, some terrain has also changed, which in turn affects the play of the formation. Already in some areas, the formation has begun to tremble, which is a manifestation that has reached the limit.
Seeing that Xiao Yue was still crying, Ming Xuozi glanced at Master Hongyunzi, who was looking at the flames in front of him and the heavy rain next to him.
The corners of Ming Xuozi's mouth twitched, and he could only squat down, "Xiaoyue, what do you need to build this balloon?"
"Woo...... Top Demon Silk ...... Woo...... It is necessary to build a foundation-level demon silk, and at least mix a Jindan-level demon silk woven silk...... in order to bear the pressure of the balloon.
For the sake of the balloon, the young lady almost bought all the demon silk in the west of the Turbulent Continent and the western part of the Fertile Continent, which was barely enough.
Whining...... Senior, what should I do......
Miss will beat me to death...... Woohoo......"
So what do I do...... If Zhang Hao is here, Ming Xuozi will definitely slap him, what is the big man crying - okay, Zhang Hao won't cry, but he will cry poor, Ming Xuozi promises a little compensation is enough. But in the face of a crying little girl, Ming Xuozi's transformation period is also helpless!
After a while, Ming Xuozi inadvertently promised countless conditions, and Xiao Yue raised her pear blossom and rainy face, and asked expectantly: "Senior, can you really find the silk that made 50 balloons?"
Ming Xuzi gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes!"
"Thank you, senior!" Xiao Yue Yingying stood up and bowed in thanks. Then he wiped a handful of tears, continued to sob, and left with his men.
When she returned to the train, Xiao Yue suddenly stopped crying and shouted excitedly, "Ha, fifty balloons of silk." How many balloons did I report...... It seems to be four tons of silk. Oops...... In the future, when Ming Xuzi's seniors find out, will they beat me?"
A few girls next to him also chattered excitedly, "I will definitely beat you, I will kill you!"
............
In the rear, Hongyunzi watched Xiaoyue and the others leave, and said helplessly to Ming Xuozi, "Silly apprentice, that little girl is acting." ”
"I know!" Ming Xuzi spread his hands helplessly, "Then what can I do to beat her? Besides, we have finally solved such a thorny difficulty, and those silks will be regarded as the mercenary money this time."
It's just some silk, although it is precious, but it is just silk. But the balloon is said to be a hot air balloon, but I don't think it's easy. I'm afraid this thing is not cheap.
Although the silk of 200 tons of demon silkworms is more valuable, it is an excellent material for making soft armor, but it is still valuable. There is no place to buy a hot air balloon if you have money.
What's more, we have broken through the defenses of the Loose Faction. I'm afraid that the Loose Sect has vomited blood for this defense. A defensive zone 6,000 kilometers long and 300 kilometers wide, tsk......"
Hongyunzi smiled helplessly, "Yes." ”
It rained heavily for a whole day, and by noon the next day, the sky was destitute, and hundreds of rainbows had hung over the foggy area before.
However, on the side of the free faction, the mood is not beautiful!
They don't know what happened for the time being, only that yesterday there was lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down, and then the fog area that their family had built at countless costs collapsed.
Heavy rain caused landslides and terrain changes, and a large number of formations were affected by the terrain changes.
Maybe one or two places don't have a big impact, but the whole area is greatly affected. The formations that were once connected together are now divided into isolated islands.
Some of the Mist Formations are still functional, recovering some of the Mist Zones, but many more have been destroyed.
Of course, there are also formations such as the Lost Trace Array, which makes this place full of illusion and uncertainty.
The fog defense was broken, and the war between the two sides broke out again!
In the afternoon of the same day, the Xuanzhen Sect opened the way with artillery, forcibly tore up a large area of the formation, and began to assault.
On the other side, after the initial panic on the side of the Carefree faction, they also immediately set a strategy: they can't let the Carefree faction cross the defense line!
Although the Misty Zone is currently damaged, it is not completely destroyed, and there are still a large number of places that are barely usable. The Loose Sect must use these remaining formations and other methods to block the Xuanzhen Sect. Once the Xuanzhen Sect crosses the defense line, this defense line will become the Xuanzhen Sect.
By this time of the war, there was no way back for the freelancers.
Moreover, the formation here is chaotic, which can greatly weaken the power of the Xuanzhen Sect's artillery, and a large number of formation remnants also seriously affect the aiming of the artillery. Let everyone only fight in close quarters.
The armies of both sides advance into the Misty Zone, and a decisive battle that shocks the whole world unfolds here.
Two days later, Gu Xingdong stood on the top of a hill and looked at the fog-shrouded area ahead, where a part of the enemy army was hidden, but the location was unclear and the number of people was unknown.
An elite group of 1,000 people from the Northern Tang Kingdom entered and searched for nothing but came out, and then a team of 300 people entered and tried to occupy the place, but never came out again.
Gu Xingdong visually measured the distance and the scope of the fog area, commanded 50 artillery salves of different calibers, and then let his army, a team of 1,000 people, advance under the cover of artillery.
After a while, the sound of battle erupted in the fog area. But because of the cover of artillery, the enemy quickly retreated.
However, in the evening, a formation next to it was suddenly repaired, the fog area was more than doubled, and the elite of the Loose Sect attacked brazenly. Gu Xingdong's men were defeated, and less than 400 people fled back with 1,000 people.
Then Gu Xingdong angrily commanded the artillery to carry out a retaliatory carpet bombardment. This time, he personally led 3,000 elites into the battle, and he has been killing through the mist formation, killing more than 2,000 enemies.
However, such a war is only a corner of the battlefield.
At this time, the two legions were completely staggered and mixed, and the two sides were fighting in every corner.
Because of the continuous changes, the formations here have been out of the control of the Xiaoyao faction, but the Xiaoyao faction is familiar with the formations and so on here after all, and they can repair and continue to use them.
But the Xuanzhen Sect is not good at stubble. The Xuanzhen Sect has artillery far more than the Easy Sect, and the firing range is even longer, and every attack is an artillery opening.
In addition, there are mortars, sniper rifles, etc., and every time the Loose Faction attacks, they need to leave a corpse behind.
On the third day of the war, reinforcements suddenly arrived from the Loose Legion - more than 500 suspended and fully enclosed armored fighting vehicles arrived. These war machines, which were built by combining science and industry with traditional war weapons, caused huge casualties to the Xuanzhen Sect as soon as they appeared.
More than 500 armored vehicles were all powered by high-grade spirit stones. Although the consumption is heart-wrenching, the results are brilliant. The offensive of the Xuanzhen Sect was contained.
War, the beginning of the transition to mechanization!
In the evening of the same day, the Xuanzhen Sect coalition forces, which had been advancing continuously, stopped advancing or even retreated for the first time. And they left behind a large number of corpses, as well as weapons and baggage.
Among them, there are more than 2,000 people under Gu Xingdong, as well as more than 60 artillery pieces and thousands of shells. There are even sniper rifles and bullets, as well as binoculars.
And the legions of the freelance faction, under the cover of chariots, continued to break through.
