Chapter 69: The End of the Holy War (I)
There was the sound of wings skimming across the sky. Rows of herringbone falcons flew in from the north, the blood-red morning sun shining on them, reflecting a red shimmer.
Lan Tai raised his hand to cover his forehead, looked at those wind falcons, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Very good, very good." It came quite in time, I just need them to launch the first wave of attacks, so that the soldiers can watch the destruction of the Demon Hall with their own eyes, and boost the morale of the soldiers to the peak!"
Wu Peng looked at those wind falcons and sighed: "I'm afraid I can't capture that demon girl alive!"
Lan Tai turned his head to look at him: "The marshal is interested in the demon girl?"
Wu Peng: "Wei Chen thinks that if he is captured alive and interrogated by His Majesty in person, it will be more praised by the world. ”
Lan Tai laughed. He raised his right hand, stared at the Divine Moon Temple above the Heavenly City, and waved his hand violently: "Beat the drum, sound the trumpet, attack!"
For this big battle, Lan Tai prepared two hundred cowhide drums and concentrated them in the main formation of the Chinese army, that is, not far from him. At that moment, the two hundred cowhide drums were violently beaten by two hundred strong men, and the drum sound was deafening in an instant, and all sounds were covered.
With the sound of the drums, the wind falcons in the air immediately picked up their speed and flew towards the Divine Moon Temple. The infantry on the ground shouted loudly, holding their shields aloof and trotting forward, the crossbowmen advanced and began to fire volleys at the city, and all kinds of siege equipment also moved slowly, like black beasts rushing towards the heavenly city.
The defenders of the Holy Capital at the head of the city immediately returned fire. At the sound of the trumpet, the crossbows and trebuchets lined up at the head of the city were thrown down the city, and the crossbowmen stood behind the battlements and shot arrows sideways at the bottom of the city. For a time, there was a loud shout from the city to the city, the feathered arrows in the air were as dense as flying locusts, and countless flaming fireball rockets pierced the morning air and fell into the crowd, bringing pieces of dead and wounded, igniting the flames of death - what a great battle!
Although the Shenyue Temple was quite far away, the Wind Falcon flew the fastest, and the Fei Lian Wing, which was in front of the main attack knife, had already flown to the periphery and began to climb to the height, looking for a bomb dropping point. Lan Tai and Wu Peng both stared closely at the wind falcon that hit the head, one with a satisfied face and the other with a complicated expression.
The Seven Star Wing of the Kamikaze Battalion was all dispatched, the Fei Lian Wing had already arrived at the attack point, and the Broken Army Wing behind had just flown over the Chinese army's position. Lan Tai laughed and said in a voice that he couldn't even hear: "Kill!
At this moment, he suddenly felt something strange, subconsciously looked up, couldn't help but be surprised, and shouted, "What's going on?"
Among the wind falcons flying through the air, two of them suddenly lowered their altitude sharply, opened their bellies, and threw two big black guys towards the main position of the Chinese army!
Of course Lantai recognized what it was...... It was a new weapon that killed countless soldiers of the Holy Capital in this southern expedition and made great contributions to the siege of the city - Stone Breaker!
He had never thought of tasting the taste of the earth-shattering, let alone that the Wind Falcon, which was loyal to him, would throw this thing at the Emperor of the Empire!
Frightened, Lan Tai scolded while urging the horse to run quickly, and by the way, he called Wu Peng next to him: "Run, run! mutiny!"
Although the sound of the two hundred cowhide drums obscured all sounds, Wu Peng still felt something strange, and he also looked up to see the earth-shattering stone falling from the sky. His face changed slightly, and he immediately urged his horses and rushed forward.
In desperation, they didn't think about anything else...... They were heavily guarded, and there were Imperial soldiers everywhere. The horses had barely run a few steps before they collided with the Imperial soldiers in front of them, and immediately rolled over, and the men shouted that the horses were neighing, and they were in a mess.
The two onslaughts that fell from the sky did not stop because of the chaos here, on the contrary, they fell faster and faster. Just a moment later, the two big swarthy guys landed on the main position of the Chinese army, and there was a big explosion like the sky and the earth collapsed.
One landed on the side of the cowhide drum, and at least a dozen cowhide drums and dozens of strong men were lifted up in an instant, and the other landed quite accurately on the position where Lan Tai was standing before, blasting the Imperial Forest Army who was still there into a bloody and bloody air, and the dust and sand that were blown up flew out in all directions, landing on the nearby soldiers.
Seeing the change here, everyone was taken aback, and they all moved, you pushed me, and the formation was chaotic in an instant.
However, the strong men who beat the drums had received an order that they were not allowed to stop unless His Majesty the Emperor called them to stop, and that they must continue to beat the drums. Therefore, those strong men who were not blown up were still shaking their arms desperately, but they were beating the drums violently.
Seeing that the chaotic soldiers were blocking their way to escape, Lan Tai shouted at them to get out of the way, but the deafening drumming drowned out all sounds, and the soldiers could not hear his orders, even if the Guards came and drove them away. Shocked and angry, he shouted, "Stop the drums, stop the drums!"
Pity...... His shouts were still drowned out by the drums, and the soldiers still couldn't hear them!
After all, Wu Peng was a scheming man who was accustomed to wind and waves, and when he saw this, he puffed up his anger and shouted: "The drummer obeys the order! Stop beating the drums immediately! The soldiers immediately make way for Your Majesty!"
After all, he was a Heaven Rank powerhouse, and his shouting was much stronger than Lan Tai's, and the drummers finally heard his shout and slowly stopped beating the drums.
Wu Peng gave another order, ordering the nearby soldiers to get out of the way, and immediately summoned the crossbowmen to come over and prepare to fire arrows into the air.
It was only at this time that he remembered one thing - the empire has always been invincible when it uses such a powerful aerial weapon, but he has never considered it, what if these wind falcons turn around and hit their own people?
The bow may be able to shoot at the Wind Falcon, but it cannot penetrate the shell to kill the people inside, and some of the arrows in these Wind Falcons are not a big deal, and they can still continue to attack. Only the rocket has the hope of igniting the shell and burning these falcons, but if the rocket misses and falls on the position of the own army, it will also be a mess.
Even the Imperial Army itself did not have a powerful enough crossbow to shoot down these flying things with accuracy and power!
※※※
The two "mutinous" wind falcons were of course midnight and them.
After coming out of Lingyue Village, Ling Ye said to the three of them: "It took half a month when we came, and it will take half a month to return now." With the strength of the Imperial Army, it will be able to reach the foot of the Heavenly City in almost a month. If we rush over, it may not be useful to enter the city, and it may not be useful to enter the city, and it is meaningless. ”
"So what do you say?"
Ling Ye stretched out his hand and pointed to the north and said, "I have read the battle report and know that the most powerful weapon of the empire is the wind falcon of the kamikaze battalion. These things fly fast, and they fly high in the sky, condescendingly throwing those black bumps, which can cause large swaths of damage. Attacking the Heavenly City, they will definitely use the Wind Falcon to attack the Divine Moon Temple, and we will start from here! At the very least, it is much faster to ride the Wind Falcon back than to ride a horse!"
Xiao Yao smiled: "Especially, hitting them with their hardest weapon in turn is the most refreshing!"
Que Wan'er said: "It's good, but it's ...... Where are you going to get it?"
Leng Ruoshuang said: "I followed the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Army, and I knew that the Wind Falcon had to be launched from the cliff, and although it could fly far, it was still limited, and the round trip could only be more than a thousand kilometers. Now that the Imperial Army's battle line has moved south, if you want to use the Wind Falcon to attack the Shenyue Temple, you must move the Kamikaze Camp to the south, and you must find a suitable place to place the Wind Falcon. ”
Ling Ye thought for a moment and said, "I think I can probably guess where they will put the Wind Falcon!" If so, let's not be polite and snatch the two Wind Falcons!"
※※※
Day and night, the four of them rushed to the outskirts of Wanzhou, where the kamikaze camp was stationed, and infiltrated the camp in the dark to steal the wind falcon.
It just so happened that Midnight overheard an order from the kamikaze camp to arrive at the Celestial City at sunrise and launch an attack. Ling Ye thought about it for a while, and he already had a plan in his heart.
Taking two Wind Falcon is not a difficult task, and it is not enough to shake the enemy. If you really want to make the other person shake, you have to do something to make their jaws drop!
He told the three of them what he was thinking about. Everyone discussed it again, determined the details, and then took advantage of the night to act, ready to surprise Lan Tai and Wu Peng!
※※※
Wu Peng finally ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, and the two wind falcons in the air swooped down towards this side again, and the screaming sound pierced everyone's eardrums and made them tremble. Everyone looked at the two falcons, and they all wanted to run for their lives.
Those two black bumps...... It's not fun!
The other Wind Falcon of the Broken Army Wing had also discovered the problem at this time, but they didn't know what to do for a while. Although they also had an earth-shattering attack installed in their belly, it was used against the people on the ground, and they had no way to deal with the same things flying in the sky, and they had no way to stop the riots, so they could only follow behind in anger and shout.
But how could they hear it in the middle of the night, and even if they did, how could they pay attention to it?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lan Tai urged the horses to flee again. But his speed was too slow compared to the midnight flying in the sky. With so many guards around him, it's hard not to see him.
Ling Ye chased after him steadily, with a sneer on his face: "If you want to destroy my holy capital, then I will destroy you first!"
Judging the approximate distance, Midnight pulled the throwing switch. A huge black bump whistled down from the sky and swayed towards Lantai's side.
Lan Tai watched, his eyes were full of terror, he opened his mouth wide, and let out an extremely unwilling scream: "Ahhhh
