Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Military Situation Is Urgent
Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Military Situation Is Urgent
The summer wind carries a heat wave, which brings people not coolness but irritability.
On both sides of the wide, smooth road, the newborn rice is trying to absorb the nutrients from the rice fields and lay a good foundation for the autumn harvest.
On the straight road leading to the Iron Blood Xiongguan in Luoguang County, there was an endless stream of carriages, and all kinds of carriages pulling goods were slowly advancing towards the Iron Blood Xiongguan in an orderly manner.
Now the war has entered a stalemate, countless monsters die every day, and countless soldiers retire gloomily, even so, but the whole country is jubilant, as long as it is held.
Zhao Ergou spat at the mouth, staring at the south with some dissatisfaction.
The same surname as the royal family, but it has nothing to do with it, the young Zhao Ergou is just an ordinary rural baby, he is only fourteen years old this year because his hometown is under the Tianbing Cave, so after paying a sum of money to him in the Tianbing Cave, Zhao Ergou left his hometown and came to the Iron Blood Xiongguan.
scolded in his mouth, but he didn't have the slightest good impression of this Xiongguan Zhao Ergou who brought him money.
"Uncle, I just can't figure it out, why do you have to fight, and waste so many bows and arrows?" Zhao Ergou asked a disciple of the Heavenly Soldier Cave who was riding on a tall horse next to him.
Uncle Sun is a middle-aged man, and he has joined the Heavenly Soldier Cave with a few strengths, but his cultivation talent is not very good, and he is only a threefold cultivator of the body refining realm until now, just a small outer disciple, but in the eyes of Zhao Ergou, he is a big man.
took a puff of cigarette and enjoyed it beautifully, Uncle Sun knocked the cigarette stick on Zhao Ergou's head, of course, without the slightest malice.
Looking at Zhao Ergou covering his forehead, Uncle Sun smiled: "Why are you little doll asking so much? We can sell so many ordnance in the Heavenly Soldier Cave so that we can make money, and your village will only be tax-free for the next three years. ”
Speaking of tax exemption, Zhao Ergou showed a fascinated expression, if it can be tax-free, the family can save a lot of money, and he will be able to start a family in the coming year, that Xiaocui in the neighboring village, he has liked her for a long time.
Uncle Sun knocked back Zhao Ergou outside the iQue Domain with one shot.
"But Uncle Sun, I still don't understand. "Young people are resilient. Uncle Sun couldn't give an explanation, because he didn't know what to do.
Just like Zhao Ergou, the people of the Great Qi Kingdom today also have such questions, since they have blocked the demon beasts from the Iron and Blood Male Pass, why do they have to attack frantically every day? This is too laborious and costly.
Uncle Sun patted Zhao Ergou on the shoulder, "Don't think about this mess, after the goods are shipped this time, you will receive your salary, and I will recommend it to you when you get home." Would you like to join the Heavenly Soldier Cave?"
"Heavenly Soldier Cave?" Zhao Ergou looked at Uncle Sun with his eyes rolling brightly, "Uncle Sun, you're not joking with me, are you?"
Uncle Sun took another puff of his cigarette, "Don't doubt the promise of the martial artist. Catch the car well, the goods on the car are very important, don't make any mistakes. ”
Zhao Ergou looked at the carriage covered with black cloth and nodded cautiously.
On top of this are fifty military arrows. It's the iron arrow that is two meters long and is made of black iron all over its body, which is a consumable item of the Iron Blood Hero. Now those high-level beings in the Heavenly Soldier Cave do nothing every day to cast this kind of iron arrow, because this kind of iron arrow is too heavy, Zhao Ergou's truck can only pull fifty branches, and it is also used to pull the cart with the descendants of the Mang Niu and the descendants of ordinary buffaloes.
On this avenue, there are more than a hundred such carriages, which means that there are more than 5,000 iron arrows of this kind, and these iron arrows alone are enough to make the Heavenly Soldier Cave make a lot of money.
Not only that, in addition to these iron arrows, the Heavenly Soldiers Cave also brought some other ordnance, the Elixir Mountain also brought a large number of healing medicines and the extremely powerful gunpowder, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Offering Pavilion, and the Imperial Family of the Great Qi Kingdom all sent a large number of disciples here to help.
There are countless of those large and small forces.
Along the way, there was a chat with Uncle Sun, and the iron-blooded Xiongguan finally entered Zhao Ergou's sight.
"Wow. Zhao Ergou opened his mouth wide, when had he ever seen such a magnificent building from a small mountain village, even if it was the headquarters of the Heavenly Soldier Cave that he had seen by chance.
Uncle Sun looked at the stunned Zhao Ergou and smiled proudly, "How is it, I've never seen such a majestic building, right?" Uncle Sun had a similar expression when he first came, but now he pretended to be a person who had come over and teased Zhao Ergou.
"Uncle Sun, I want to be a soldier here, work here, and I will definitely have more face when I go back. ”
Unceremoniously was a slap, "You kid don't want to be a soldier here, Lao Tzu is from the same village as you, if something happens to you, how can I explain to your father, do you know how many soldiers die every day in Ludao, join the army?
Zhao Ergou was stunned by a slap, and the thoughts that had just sprung up in his heart were slapped away by Uncle Sun.
But in an instant, Zhao Ergou didn't want to do this, he had already reached the Iron and Blood Male Pass, which meant that he could get his salary, a full five silver coins, enough for the family's expenses for a year, this is just one time, if you luck it a few more times? Zhao Ergou already hoped that the war would never end at this time.
The carriage had already come to the bottom of the Iron Blood Xiong Pass, but it did not move forward for a long time, looking at the black and shiny Iron Blood Xiong Pass, Zhao Ergou felt extremely irritable, and he couldn't stay in the car for a moment.
Uncle Sun threw the water bag to Zhao Ergou, "Boy, bear with it! The Iron Blood Xiongguan is so big, and there are too many goods transported, I waited for an hour to arrive at us last time, but the bow and arrow are urgently needed items, and they will definitely arrive at us soon." ”
Wait, wait, listen, listen to the roars of the soldiers outside the gate and the roars of the demon beasts, no, there is also a roar.
Zhao Ergou's legs were weak, and he felt that all the blood rushed to his head, and his head was a little stuffy.
Uncle Sun let Zhao Ergou lie on the ground, so cool and cool, he was just a little calf, and he believed that he would be much better after a while.
After waiting for nearly an hour, a soldier who looked like a middle-level officer walked over, "You are sending ordnance, from the Heavenly Soldier Cave?"
"Yes. We are. Uncle Sun hurriedly stepped forward, the leader of the team this time was Uncle Sun, the existence of the triple body refining realm was enough to solve all the problems, all the way was a great road, and no one would cause trouble.
The mid-level officer stared at Uncle Sun for a moment, then turned away, "Okay! You guys come with me, damn it, the consumption of munitions is too great, and you vampires have taken such a big advantage." ”
Uncle Sun didn't say anything. Just hehe smiled and asked the convoy behind to follow.
Zhao Ergou, who was lying on Uncle Sun's horse, felt that his brain was getting more and more mixed, and his whole body was uncomfortable, as if something bad was about to happen.
At this moment, Zhao Ergou, who barely raised his head, felt that some black shadow fell from the sky, and then this black shadow smashed hard in front, Uncle Sun, the middle-level officer and some people around were instantly overwhelmed by the black shadow, and the people around them screamed, trampled on each other, and became a mess.
Zhao Ergou was knocked off his horse. He fell heavily to the ground, looking at the swaying crowd in front of him, "It turned out to be a boulder!"
A few hours ago, at the top of the Iron Blood.
General Cheng is still sitting at the front of Xiongguan with a big move. This position can clearly see all the scenes of the demon beast attacking the city in front, the original King Yuanfeng, and now Zhang Yuanfeng is sitting side by side with General Cheng with a black mask.
The top of the entire Xiongguan is busy, up to a kilometer. At the top, which was also fifty meters wide, were still the giant crossbow arrows, behind which were a group of soldiers holding small bottles, and behind them were a dense crowd of archers. Behind the most lull are more than a dozen trebuchets tens of meters high, which is now the deployment of troops at the top of the Iron and Blood Hero.
Giant crossbow arrows are frantically one-on-one fixed-point attacks on those giant monsters; every time they are too busy, the soldiers behind will come forward and throw the bottle down, the huge roar and flames are endless, and the monsters under the gate are killed and injured countless times; those archers are thrown at forty-five degrees, and all the birds can't escape the arrows in the sky, after all, there are very few birds that can fly more than a kilometer, even among the monster beasts and birds; as for the trebuchet behind the most ugly, it is just an ornament.
General Cheng calmly, looking at Zhang Yuanfeng with a mask, a little dissatisfied, "Yuanfeng, tell me, the one up and down the Guannai who doesn't know how to say that you are the king of Yuanfeng, why do you want to do this thing of covering your ears and stealing the bell?"
Zhang Yuanfeng was wearing a mask, so no one knew his expression, "That's what I said, but I still can't embarrass you." ”
patted Zhang Yuanfeng on the shoulder, "I didn't waste it that day, I saved your life, but I can't give that promise, and your dream of building a country is shattered." ”
"It's nothing, if it weren't for meeting your emperor, I wouldn't know that your Great Qi Kingdom actually had such a plan, thinking that our 'Six Kings of the Central Domain' were six ants in your eyes, it's really ridiculous!"
General Cheng stood up, "Why bother saying these frustrating words, since Your Majesty has told you this, it is to treat you as one of us, and when the demon beast retreats, even if it can't be restored, it is more than enough to be the head of a county, and that county is not much smaller than your Yuanfeng country." ”
The two of them walked to the front, lying on the battlements, watching the countless demon beasts attack.
At the forefront, there are still countless beasts attacking.
General Cheng spat a mouthful of phlegm down, "Damn, it seems that the demon beasts want to use these beasts to level the square in front of them, so that they can come up, they really think that this is the previous city wall?"
"Anyway, it caused us a bit of a problem, and at least the trebuchets were just a decoration. Zhang Yuanfeng's voice became a little strange because of the mask, but General Cheng still heard his words clearly.
General Cheng shook his head helplessly, "This is also a helpless thing, we can burn all the beasts, but we can't burn the stones, although the use of trebuchets can give them a heavy blow, but it also causes great convenience to the demon beasts." ”
The two of them stared closely at the Demon Beast King of the Spirit Transformation Realm at the front.
Chiyan Mu Hu, the Demon Beast King of the Spirit Realm, is a much stronger existence than the big black bear, and the cultivation of the triple peak of the Spirit Realm is one step away from advancing to the middle level of the Spirit Realm, even if the strength of General Cheng and Zhang Yuanfeng cannot fight against the existence, fortunately, this Demon Beast King did not take the initiative to make a move, otherwise General Cheng would really have to ask for help from the rear.
Red all over. The Chiyan Mouhu, who was ten meters long and three meters high, exuded the aura of his whole body majestically, and when General Cheng and Zhang Yuanfeng looked at it, it also looked at these two people, and this indifferent look made the two shiver.
General Cheng and Zhang Yuanfeng smiled bitterly, unlike the big black bear, the wisdom of this Chiyan Mouhu is not low, and it is absolutely impossible to get rid of it as easily as last time.
Chiyan Muhu, the Demon Beast King of the Spirit Realm in the vast mountain range, his territory is next to the Qingyan Lion. Since the death of the Qingyan Lion, he has occupied its territory, and his strength has developed considerably, and he has been in retreat, hoping to break through to the middle level of the Transformation Spirit Realm.
But a month ago, the big black bear that was recognized as the stupidest was killed by humans, and under the order of the king, Chiyan Muhu stopped cultivating and came to this human Xiongguan.
A month has passed. There were countless casualties on the demon beast side, although there were also heavy casualties on the human side, but there was no progress at all, and Chiyan Muhu was not in a hurry at all. In the depths of the vast mountain range, the number of demon beasts and beasts is too large for ordinary people to imagine, and it is not distressing to die these beasts and demon beasts at all.
After attacking for several hours, General Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. "It looks like the monster is going to retreat. ”
Before Zhang Yuanfeng could respond, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
"Boom", "boom". "Boom", "Boom", "Boom"
The soldiers on the gate began to shake, thinking that there had been an earthquake, General Cheng held on to the wall battlements, staring at the front tightly, he had some signs, it seemed that something bad was about to happen.
Behind Chiyan Muhu, a giant elephant with a body length of more than 100 meters, a height of 50 meters, and a thick hair all over its body walked over, and every time he stepped down, a pit appeared on the ground, and two huge tusks drew two long marks on the ground. The Red Flame Mu Tiger was a baby-sized existence by its side.
Behind this giant elephant, there were five giant elephants with a body length of sixty or seventy meters followed, although they were not as large as the giant elephant in front, but they were enough to shock people.
"One Spirit Realm Mammoth Giant Elephant, five High-level Mammoth Giant Elephants of the Body Refining Realm. God, are you kidding?" instantly sobered up from the turbidity, "Giant crossbow arrows, gunpowder, archers, shoot me, don't save, shoot me." General Cheng roared at the gate, and the sound spread throughout the pass.
Countless iron arrows pierced the mammoth's body, and the gunpowder made a loud roar on their bodies, and the arrows pierced the mammoth's eyes, nose and other vulnerable parts desperately.
Ignoring it, the six mammoth giant elephants came to a place no more than a hundred meters away from the wall under the cover of countless demon beasts.
The mammoth giant elephant demon beast king rolled up a boulder on the ground, shook his head, and the giant stone formed a beautiful parabola, and fell on the top of the thousand-meter-high city wall, and the boulder rolled all the way, General Cheng and Zhang Yuanfeng immediately ran to both sides.
The boulder overwhelmed the archers behind it, crashed into a trebuchet, and fell behind the most Lu in Xiongguan and smashed down, as for what casualties were caused, General Cheng didn't know how to do it.
The other mammoth giants also rolled up the boulder, but unfortunately the strength was not as great as the mammoth giant elephant demon beast king, the boulder smashed on the wall, making a roar, and the soldiers on the closed archery were immediately lost, and countless demon beasts took advantage of this kung fu to rush to the bottom of the city wall.
"All the giant crossbow arrows, aimed at the mammoth giant elephant demon beast, all the gunpowder aimed at the demon beast under the city, the archers are throwing forty-five, keep it for me, you must hold it for me. ”
General Cheng and Zhang Yuanfeng controlled a giant crossbow arrow, and the two iron arrows pierced the nose of the mammoth giant elephant demon beast king, and the mammoth giant elephant demon beast king who was rolling up the boulder howled, dropped the entangled boulder, and launched a full force to crash towards the city wall.
General Cheng and Zhang Yuanfeng frantically controlled the giant crossbow arrows, and one by one the iron arrows shot at the mammoth giant elephant demon beast king as if they didn't want money.
"Snakes, there are snakes. The soldiers on both sides of the Iron Blood Xiongguan who were close to the mountain range exclaimed, only to see countless giant snakes crawling wildly along the intersection between the Xiongguan and the mountain range, and a giant snake that obviously exuded the breath of the demon beast king of the Spirit Realm spit snake letters, staring at General Cheng and Zhang Yuanfeng tightly.
"Golden Scale Python, God, are you kidding?" General Cheng let out a groan.
The Red Flame Tiger let out a roar of rage, and countless beasts and demon beasts ran out from behind it, and rushed towards the Iron Blood Male Pass under the leadership of the Red Flame Tiger.
A crimson signal smoke rose from the top of the pass, and all the soldiers below stopped resting and rushed to the top of the pass in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the commander.
In a small courtyard in General Cheng's mansion, three larks were released and flew in the direction of Xi City, and a group of soldiers on fast horses and carrying emergency military information on their backs also headed towards Xi City. (To be continued......)
