Chapter 139: Crossing the River
Since the two met, Pang Xie rushed to Jiangnan with the Ruyi monk.
Along the way, while walking and watching, he also saw many bloody methods of the Guiyi Sect, which was full of people, which was common, and it was not uncommon to kill people.
The whole city was slaughtered one after another, and after walking for dozens of miles in a row, not a single family could be seen.
The white bones are in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!
Pang Xie saw it in his eyes, couldn't hold back the anger in his chest, and several times out of righteous indignation, he opened his mouth and spit out the Yuan Tu Sword, killing the army under the Guiyi Sect, all the way south, killing more than a thousand people before and after.
His killing, not only did the Guiyi religious followers be frightened, but even the Ruyi monks were frightened.
But because the Yuan Tu Sword is very weird, not only killing, but also sucking blood, a sword past, not only the corpse is divided into two, but also turned into a dry corpse, and the end is extremely terrifying.
The Ruyi monk secretly beat the drum in his heart, and felt more and more that this East China Sea qi practitioner Pang Xie was not like a good road, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad to take him to Jiangnan.
However, the Ruyi monk thought about it again, the situation had collapsed like this, and it was said that he brought a killing god, even if he brought an evil god, it was just the difference between early death and late death.
Although the six states in the south of the Yangtze River are still holding on, whether it is the court members or the folk warriors, they are not optimistic about the situation in front of them, otherwise, several patriarchs of the King Kong Temple will not send Ruyi monks to risk coming to the ancestral court to take away the relics, wouldn't it be much better to fight back openly?
According to the Ruyi monks, several patriarchs of the King Kong Temple have faintly given birth to the idea of crossing the sea south and taking refuge in the South China Sea countries, and there is not only one King Kong Temple who has this idea, many sects have been preparing in secret.
Pang Xie and Ruyi Monk's feet were not slow, plus Pang Xie was strong, and he pushed all the way through, and did not take the slightest detour, but in a little more than two days, he rushed from the north of Qingzhou Mansion City to a place not far from Jiangdong Baishi City.
"Pang Xianchang, twenty or thirty miles ahead, it is the place where the two armies are facing each other, and now His Majesty Li Ke personally led the army to hold on to Baishi City, and several elders of the Guiyi Sect led the sect to set up a large camp in Jiangbei, and sent troops day and night to attack Baishi City, trying to strangle the last bit of strength of the imperial court. Ruyi monk said.
"It is not easy for the imperial court to hold on. Ponsie nodded and said.
The martial arts of this world are not too strong, and the cultivation is almost non-existent, and the overall strength is mediocre. On the contrary, the members of the Guiyi Sect have steam guns and steam ships, and they are close to a modern army, and they are by no means able to be stopped by the imperial court in the mountain and sea realm.
"The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero. ”
The Ruyi monk straightened his clothes and said: "Since the return to the sect to poison the world, many high-ranking hermits have been invested in the imperial court, among which there is a Gu Daoren, who really has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and the court can survive to this day, and it is all the credit of this Gu Daoist. Ruyi monk said.
"Gu Daoren, what's his name?" Pang Xie's heart suddenly moved.
"Gu Jiuxiao. Ruyi monk said.
Pang Xie was stunned when he heard this, and didn't say anything more, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two of them continued onward, but in less than half an hour, they rushed to the edge of the river and came to the top of a hill.
This hill has an excellent location, standing here, whether it is Baishi City on the other side of the river, or the Guiyi Sect camp in the north of the river, all of them can be seen clearly and clearly.
If it was an ordinary battle, the commander of the army would definitely send someone to occupy this hill, but now Jiangbei is stationed in the Holy See of the Guiyi Sect, although these people are strong in combat, they are not very skilled in marching and fighting, so they did not send people to occupy it.
Pang Xie came to the top of the hill and looked into the river from a distance, only to see more than a dozen steamships shuttling back and forth on the river, and then he heard the sound of "boom, boom" in the river.
On the fore and aft decks of the steamship, there were several brass machines the size of houses that looked extremely complicated, and according to the monk Ruyi, these brass mechanisms were the steam cannons developed by Guiyizong.
The steam cannon is extremely powerful, and each cannonball has the power of a thousand jun, that is, the ancient male city of Baishi City, the city is high and deep, so it can barely be blocked, if it is replaced by an ordinary small city, I am afraid that only a few cannons can collapse the city wall.
Boom, boom, boom
In a matter of moments, more than a dozen steam ships fired dozens of shells, most of which hit the city wall, and the city wall shook the sky with a loud sound, and it was faintly seen that a lot of city bricks had fallen, and even soldiers fell from the city because of their unstable footing.
Bang!
After the steam cannon was fired, Pang Xie was surprised to find that from the south of the Yangtze River, on several hills near Baishi City, there was actually the sound of cannons.
With the rumbling of cannons, a burst of gunpowder smoke gradually spread, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the flickering of fire could be faintly seen.
"What is this?" Pang Xie couldn't help but be stunned.
"This is Gu Jiuxiao, the weapon developed by Gu Daochang, the name is artillery, it uses something called gunpowder, it can also fire cannonballs, it is so powerful, it is not under the steam cannon, but unfortunately the gunpowder is extremely difficult to make, and the weight of the gun itself is too large, it can't be easily moved, and it is not as flexible as a steam ship. The monk shook his head and sighed.
Pang Xie didn't speak, but his eyes flickered slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
The artillery on the river came and went, and the fighting was not fierce, but although the weapons were sharp, the people who operated the weapons were of average level, and the two sides combined fired hundreds of shells, although the White Rock City was still standing, and none of the steamships on the river were destroyed.
"Okay, we've seen enough, it's time to cross the river. Pang Xie looked at it for a while, and suddenly said to the Ruyi monk.
"Huh?" Ruyi Monk was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Obey, the poor monk will contact the spies planted here and prepare for the boat to cross the river." ”
"That doesn't have to be. ”
Pang Xie shook his head and strode towards the river, the wishful monk was stunned, but he didn't know why, and he was worried about being discovered, so he had to follow worriedly.
The effort was not great, and the two of them came to the north bank of the river, which was only a few miles away from the camp of the Guiyi Sect.
"What people!"
As soon as the two came to the shore, they were discovered by the scouts, who straddled their horses and came to intercept them.
Ruyi Monk's face changed slightly, in the past, the army of the Guiyi Sect that he and Pang Xie encountered, as few as a few dozens, as many as hundreds, and at most no more than a few hundred, Pang Xie could deal with it calmly.
But today, the two of them came to the edge of the Guiyi Sect camp, in the big camp, at least hundreds of thousands of horses, even if they were slaughtered with their heads upright, I am afraid that they would not be able to kill them endlessly!
Pang Xie ignored it, grabbed it backwards with his backhand, ignored these scouts, held the elbow of the Ruyi monk, and then stepped forward, walking in the void, step by step towards the river.
Suddenly, seven or eight scouts, even men and horses, were all stunned, and they opened their mouths wide one by one, unable to speak to Pang Xie.
Pang Xie was unaware of this, and continued to hold the Ruyi monk and walked towards the top of the river, step by step, stepping in the air, not slow, as steady as Mount Tai, as steady as walking on a stone road.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already walked to the heart of the river.
When the two of them had just crossed the void, the sergeants on both sides of the river had not yet noticed.
When the two of them walked into the heart of the river, the north and south of the river, whether it was the disciples of the Guiyi Sect or the people of the imperial court, they all saw this unbelievable scene.
This scene was too bizarre, and the moment they saw the two of them, the entire battlefield actually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Pang Xie and Ruyi Monk.
