Chapter 224: Rage
25 shells fell, and in an instant, there were 25 large craters and 25 flames, bringing 25 death zones.
The explosion quickly disappeared, but the catastrophe had just begun, with flames and smoke billowing, and 25 'scars' appeared at the place of the explosion. In particular, three of them had a range of almost twenty meters, which was obviously more than twice as large as the others, and there were prostrate figures all around.
The diameter is twice as large, and the lethality is four times greater. After the explosion, dozens of people flew directly into the sky, and many of them directly took on the posture of broken dolls. Within a radius of 100 meters, hundreds of soldiers were brought down by the shock wave.
25 shells went down, and the army of the entire Jinyang country was stunned. The power and attack of this artillery is shocking, strange and terrifying.
Especially those prisoners who had just been ransomed, whose fear of shells had almost gone deep into their bones.
At the moment when the shell exploded, even though they were far away from the shell, there were still many people screaming and running wildly, some screaming and squatting with their heads in their hands, shivering, and even burying their heads in the dirt, revealing their trembling buttocks.
Cannonballphobia, or cannonball shock, a symptom that arises from the fear of cannonballs and death, also appeared for the first time in the world.
In the face of cannonballs, ordinary people will feel powerless, fearful, and trembling from the bottom of their hearts.
Not to mention others, even Sima Zhen was a little trembling when he saw these shells again. Especially seeing that these shells could explode after penetrating two layers of defensive barriers, Sima Zhen's head was even more confused and shocked!
He vaguely understood that the artillery technology of the country of Qixia had improved again!
However, this was only the beginning, and the artillery attack did not stop as soon as it was attacked, and a few moments later, 22 smaller shells fell, once again piercing the two layers of defense, taking hundreds of lives and making thousands of soldiers scream.
Especially the more than 100,000 captives who were ransomed, most of whom screamed in fear. There was chaos at the scene!
Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound in the distance, and Sima Zhen saw three particularly large "black dots" flying like lightning, and smashed to the ground before he could react.
In an instant, the earth shattered, the flames rolled, and the radius of each shell was hundreds of meters, and it was miserable.
Sima Zhen took a deep breath and suppressed the fear and trembling in his heart, "All the teams scattered and tried to hold up the third layer of defensive enchantment. Above the Jindan period, take off to fight and kill back!"
After all, the country of Jinyang has some background, a large number of masters rose into the air, and even the war weapons of those flying platforms began to float and press in the direction of the country of Qixia.
Zhao Huaiyun, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang under many protections, had an extremely ugly face - not only was he attacked, not only the screams of the artillery and the newly ransomed captives, but also the calculations of the Kingdom of Qixia that made the prince angry.
The distance between the two sides is now more than three kilometers, which means that the country of Qixia can attack with artillery with impunity, but the attack on its own side is beyond the reach of the whip.
There's nothing worse about a war than this - your attacks can't reach the enemy, and the enemy can hold you down and can't defend against it.
Grievance no, anger no?
But the worst is yet to come.
The third layer of defensive enchantment didn't go well. If you want to hold up the barrier, you need to have a formation base, and the best formation base on the battlefield is the people themselves. In other words, if you want to stand up for defense, you need to be exposed to attack.
Under the attack of cannonballs, many soldiers are already in disarray, and now you ask them to risk their lives to prop up the defensive barrier, and they don't do it...... Don't try to use us as cannon fodder!
Finally, the masters finally vacated, and they angrily pounced on the country of Qixia. Dozens of people, hundreds of people formed a 'He Luo Great Array', forming giants of hundreds of meters, and killed them in a state of destruction and decay.
But the country of Qixia had already prepared, and Zhao Donghe of the country of Canglan snorted coldly and took the lead in killing the past. They did not form a battle formation, but "iron buckets" of half a meter size appeared in their hands.
These "iron buckets" are very rough, with deep notches on the surface, and there are 'fuses' on the iron buckets. Zhao Donghyuk and the others lit the fuse, and threw the heavy 'iron bucket' out with a roar.
A layer of True Yuan light enveloped the 'Iron Buckets', allowing these Iron Buckets to fly out quickly and safely, just falling next to He Luo's Great Array.
After throwing out the iron bucket, Zhao Donghyuk and the others screamed and retreated, as if there was some life-seeking ghost behind them.
The strange behavior of the country of Qixia made the masters of the country of Jinyang vigilant, and Diao Deshan, who took the lead, was even more shocked: "It's explosives, cut them off, and the power can be minimized!"
The flying sword flashed, a large number of 'iron buckets' were cut off, and explosives were scattered all over the sky.
However, seeing their actions, the corners of Zhang Hao's mouth showed a little mocking smile. If it's one or two 'bombs', they certainly do it effectively. But what if it's a few hundred?
Just now, Zhao Donghe and the others threw out more than 400 bombs in one go! Now the gunpowder is sprinkled all over the void, and only half of the bombs that have been destroyed.
Zhang Hao's eyes narrowed.
In the next moment, a sun suddenly appeared in the sky, and it was a 'super sun' with a diameter of five or six hundred meters. It doesn't matter if it's an intact bomb or a spilled explosive, it's detonated almost simultaneously.
More than 400 bombs, less than 20 tons of explosives!
So it's no wonder that Zhao Donghe and others screamed and fled for their lives - they had seen the scene of the explosion in Yunhaiguan, which was 50 tons of explosives, but it was buried in the ground. And now twenty tons, in mid-air, there are also a large number of shell shells.
Several defensive enchantments had already risen on the side of the country of Qixia, and Zhao Donghe and the others almost pinched the tail of the explosion and rushed into the enchantment.
The explosion was so violent that the whole sky was folded, and there were mixed ripples everywhere.
On the ground directly below the explosion, a violent wind suddenly rose, flying sand and rocks, the earth and rocks were crushed, and layers of uncovered were revealed, and the tumbling sand and wind spread in all directions like the inverted waves of the sea.
The sky rumbled, and after the brilliant flames, a hideous, black-red, tumbling cloud tumbled and rose, gradually taking on the shape of a twisted mushroom cloud.
Mushroom clouds are the result of high temperatures, cooling, and deceleration after rising, as long as the energy is strong enough, mushroom clouds can be formed.
But there is one thing, no matter which means form the mushroom cloud, it represents death!
The soldiers on the side of the country of Qixia were also a little panicked, and the tumbling mud and sand were more than 100 meters high and spread for nearly 2,000 meters, rushing like a city wall.
But before the storm came, the first layer of defensive enchantment trembled under the shock wave, and after only a few breaths, it gradually broke, and the magic weapons placed on the ground were uprooted because the ground was loose.
Compared with the hasty preparations of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the Kingdom of Qixia is fully prepared, and the front three layers of defensive enchantments are completely arranged with magic weapons.
The first two layers of defensive enchantments shattered one after another, and the storm rushed in.
There were even some shrapnel that pierced through the layers of defensive barriers, bringing some additional panic to the Qixia Country's side.
Liu Xinyu, Zhang Hao and others stood on the top of the mountain without moving, quietly watching the 'mud storm' rolling in, the shock wave of the explosion, the loud noise, the infrasound wave, and the trembling of the earth, making Zhang Hao only feel as if he was standing on the waves. But Zhang Hao smiled and quietly watched the smoke billowing in the sky.
This is the power of industry, but also the power of Zhang Hao!
Liu Xinyu also watched quietly, and about half a minute later, Liu Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The aftermath of the explosion began to wane, and the last layer of defensive enchantment on the side of the Land of Qixia was almost unable to hold on.
The earth began to fall, the smoke of gunpowder in the sky began to dissipate, some broken bodies fell from the sky, and even more broken weapons of war tumbled and smashed to the ground.
Liu Xinyu suddenly ordered: "Artillery attack, the target is 5 kilometers." Masters bypassed the sides of the artillery and attacked the enemy. Try your best to capture the prince of the country of Jinyang and his party!
Great army, attack!"
The crazy explosions and the cannonballs that could penetrate the defensive barrier had already made the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang like a frightened bird. The rout, began.
Although Sima Zhen was angry, he still reluctantly gathered more than 3,000 elite rearguards, and then let the prince and his party retreat quickly. Now was not the time to hesitate, Sima Zhen sent the prince away almost in a reprimanding tone, while he led a few elites to break the queen and did his best to gather the army.
Now Sima Zhen no longer expects victory, he just wants to bring back the elite of the 100,000 army who came over this time. As for the prisoners exchanged this time, he felt that he couldn't bring them back!
Suddenly, a figure with blurred flesh and blood rushed in front of Sima Zhen, this person could hardly see the complete flesh and skin on his body, but through the tattered clothes and decorations, body shape, and the breath of the primordial spirit, Sima Zhen still recognized - this is Diao Deshan!
Diao Deshan actually rushed out of the explosion just now. But the state is also not good, not to mention the flesh and blood on his body, and it is full of shrapnel.
Sima Zhen immediately gave Diao Deshan a large amount of pills, and then asked the guards to carry Diao Deshan and flee for their lives quickly.
Before leaving, Diao Deshan shouted weakly but angrily: "Kill the remaining tens of thousands of captives in the country of Qixia, kill them all, kill them all!"
Sima Zhen nodded, but after Diao Deshan left, Sima Zhen didn't do that - if he really wanted to kill all these captives, who knows what the country of Qixia could do.
But Sima Zhen let those captives of the country of Qixia stand in front of the army. With such means, the army was finally given a respite.
Sima Zhen's military talent was finally brought into play, and part of the team returned to order and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
But Young Master Zhang Hao saw Sima Zhen's side at a glance, and beckoned three new, 300 mm guns: "Do you see that person, fire there." If this person can be defeated, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the side of the Jinyang Kingdom will be paralyzed. ”
"I'm coming!" Feng Zhiling suddenly jumped out, Senior Brother Feng's hands had been itchy for a long time.
"Don't make trouble!" Dugu Junjie pulled Feng Zhiling aside. What happened to the Yuan Infant Period, while standing up.
Feng Zhiling came up angrily: "You're not afraid that I will beat you!"
Zhang Hao sighed, and hurriedly stepped forward to 'persuade': "Senior brother, you can open a cannon if you want, but a cannon is worth ten kilograms of special dark iron for alchemy. If the senior brother doesn't mind, you can pay first, then open the gun, and play casually. ”
"Forehead......" Feng Zhiling suddenly covered his storage ring and retreated vigilantly, "What I ate, don't want to get it again!"
Zhang Hao: ......
Dugu Junjie pursed his lips and continued to direct the artillery attack.
The oversized armor-piercing shells smashed at Sima Zhen in three waves, and in one minute, five waves and 15 extra-large shells were smashed.
Thanks to the Cultivator's abilities, the firing speed of the cannon has been increased a lot. It's that Sima Zhen has suffered a lot. He kept dodging, and the masters of the country of perched xia in the sky also pressed over. The few armies that the country of Jinyang had barely organized, collapsed again.
A big explosion just now has already caused heavy casualties to the masters of the Kingdom of Jinyang, and they can't deal with the masters of the Kingdom of Qixia. At the moment, there is no hope at all.
No, Sima Zhen could only retreat in embarrassment with a few masters. As for the army...... I can't take care of it anymore!
The battle gradually came to an end, and the masters of the country of Qixia pursued for dozens of kilometers before returning; the country of Jinyang was not stupid after all, most of the high-level and many elites ran away; but not many of them ran away, and the total number of people did not exceed three thousand.
And the more than 100,000 troops and more than 100,000 captives brought by the Kingdom of Jinyang this time were all swallowed by the Kingdom of Qixia. All captives have been sealed, and what awaits them will be 'compulsory labor'.
In addition, the seized baggage, as well as the elixirs extorted earlier, are all huge figures.
Liu Xinyu stood on the hill, the corners of his mouth slowly curled, and suddenly turned his head and asked Zhang Hao next to him: "Zhang Hao, what do you think we should do next?"
Zhang Hao said without hesitation: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside!"
Liu Xinyu nodded slowly, with approval in his eyes: "This time there is a big defeat, and the country of Jinyang will not be able to slow down for at least ten days." Just take the opportunity to deal with the Jiuyang Sect.
The order was issued that Wu Fanghai continued to garrison the border of Guangling County and build a defensive line, and Jianwu County and Wuyang County in the north gave up.
Gu Xingdong continued to garrison Huaishan Pass and prepared to attack.
The military department is still in Tiegan, you lead 10,000 ordinary soldiers, take the soldiers who have just redeemed the country of Qixia, and retreat with all the captives. The captives were all arranged in ...... All of them are arranged to be mined in Ninghe County to support the development of the Xuaniron industry in Ninghe County.
The rest of the army, handed over to Su Jianzhong, advanced towards Jiuyang Sect. ”
The army did not hesitate to turn around, and Liu Xinyu's resolute and resolute personality caught Jiuyang Sect off guard. It was only after the army arrived at the Jiuyang Sect that the Jiuyang Sect reacted.
Or the Jiuyang Sect, which has been arrogant for thousands of years, didn't expect Liu Xinyu to have such guts.
The Great Elder of the Jiuyang Sect, Qing Hongzi, appeared angrily and rebuked Liu Xinyu: "Little girl, do you want to be an enemy of the Jiuyang Sect?"
Liu Xinyu smiled, and his smile was full of mockery: "This is ...... It's ridiculous! It's the most ridiculous joke this king has ever heard!"
In the void, a figure slowly emerged, it was the Emperor Liu Dingshan.
Seeing Liu Dingshan appear, Qing Hongzi snorted coldly: "Liu Dingshan, now the Jiuyang Sect has not made a move, and we are just trying to protect ourselves." You can think about it, once you go to war, you will bear the consequences!"
Liu Dingshan was indifferent: "Is there any consequence, what else can there be! Anyway, my son is dead, my grandson is also dead, and there is only one granddaughter left." What other consequences do you say!"
The faint words contained boundless anger and murderous intent.
Liu Xinyu doesn't talk nonsense at all, time is limited, and it can't be wasted. After Liu Dingshan finished speaking, Liu Xinyu ordered with a cold face: "Bombard Jiuyang Sect!" Artillery and master cover, explosives team buries explosives!"
Today, this king wants to erase this mountain gate of the Jiuyang Sect from the map!"
