The power of more than a dozen heavy cannons with a caliber of 200 mm was really devastating, and the coverage was also terrifying. It was as big as several football fields. It was difficult to avoid even if you wanted to hide.

After the shell fell and exploded violently, the harsh scream of the jellyfish came from the dazzling fire. In addition, the second-level stinging sea scorpion was shot blinded by one of its eyes and ran around everywhere, accidentally stepped into the range of the shelling.

After the violent explosion, the scorpion was already burnt black, and the flesh and blood in the body was roasted in the terrible high temperature.

And that hundred-eyed jellyfish is not as good as the stinger-armored sea scorpion in terms of defense! At least the stinger-armored sea scorpion has a solid layer of carapace on the surface, so at least one of the stinger-armored jellyfish has been barely preserved during the explosion, and the stinger-armored jellyfish was blown into pieces, and its residual limbs can be seen everywhere on the ground.

The remaining scorpions of the stinger armored sea scorpions saw that the two second-level beast generals in the lead were killed by artillery, and they immediately dispersed and had no intention of fighting any more.

However, the strength and difficulty of this hundred-eyed jellyfish left a deep impression on Zhang Tongtian, so he was not sure whether the other party was really dead, or whether these were illusions created by the other party.

"Old pig, go and see if the corpse is real?" Zhang Tongtian patted the iron-backed wild boar king and ordered him.

Then a man and a beast carefully approached a larger fragment of the hundred-eyed jellyfish.

After coming to the corpse fragments, Zhang Tongtian jumped off the pig's back, then pulled out the long sword from his waist, poked the corpse fragments, and found that it was indeed a physical touch, so he was sure that the hundred-eyed jellyfish had been killed.

"Tell the brothers on the battleship that this hundred-eyed jellyfish has been successfully killed and they can go to other places to support it!"

After Zhang Tongtian gave an order to his correspondent, he began to count the casualties of the troops. It turned out that his troops had suffered more than 500 casualties in this battle, which can be said to be the largest loss of war in his army in this period.

"General, then do we have to attack the Mudflat Town next?" After restraining the bodies of the dead, Zhang Tongtian's deputy general asked him.

His deputy general is also one of the group of veterans recruited by Su Li. His code name is A Dai. Because he usually acts a bit stupid, he got this nickname.

But in fact, this guy is very good at skill and has rich combat experience. He has seen all kinds of big scenes, so he was asked to serve as the deputy general and assist Zhang Tongtian in leading troops.

"Fight! Why don't you fight? The group of ferocious beasts just now probably came from the Mudti Town. Now the other party has been defeated by us and has completely lost the fighting spirit. When we attack at this time, we can definitely take down this town easily!" Facing Ah Dai's inquiry, Zhang Tongtian gritted his teeth and said with murderous intent. Zhang Tongtian had accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart. The Mudti Town just happened to be his target of venting.

So, after the army had packed up the battlefield, they set off again. This time they did not encounter any further attacks, and successfully arrived at the mudflat town after more than two hours.

Perhaps the enemy troops knew that they could not defend the town, so when Zhang Tongtian led his troops to arrive, he found that a raging fire had already been lit in the town, and it could be seen that the city was full of corpses of civilians.

Obviously, the enemy's strategy of scorched earth resistance was implemented. Before taking the initiative to withdraw, all the things that could be destroyed were burned down, and all the people who had no time to move were massacred.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Tongtian had nowhere to vent his depression in his chest, and in the end he could only cut down a small tree beside the road with one sword.

Although he knew that the hope was slim, Zhang Tongtian then sent troops to sneak into the city to put out the fire and search and rescue those who might still be alive.

After some search, the soldiers sent by Zhang Tongtian really found two children hidden inside in a water tank.

It seems that the enemy was walking too fast, otherwise after a closer search, you will definitely find these two children hidden in the water tank.

These two children, one boy and one girl, both looked only five or six years old. Facing Zhang Tongtian and others' large group of fully armed soldiers, their faces were full of fear.

In order to comfort the two obviously frightened children, Zhang Tongtian took out the bag on his waist, and finally took out two pieces of chocolate from it and handed it to the two children.

This thing can be said to be the exclusive supply for middle and senior officers of the Qinglong Empire, and ordinary soldiers cannot get it at all. After all, the Auranxing side has been almost destroyed and cannot provide too much material from there.

Seeing the two children holding the chocolate wrapped in oil paper at a loss, Zhang Tongtian took out another piece of chocolate, opened the oil paper in front of the two children, and then took the chocolate and took a big bite.

After watching Zhang Tongtian's demonstration, the two children followed suit and opened the oil paper, took out the chocolate from it, and smelled the tempting fragrance emitted by the chocolate. The two children could not resist their appetite and immediately took a big bite at him.

After actually eating the chocolate into his mouth, the two children immediately smiled. After all, for these human civilians who were extremely miserably squeezed by the ferocious beasts, this sweet food is really an extremely luxurious thing. Many human civilians from Xuangu Continent may have never eaten a candy in their entire lives, so when they suddenly ate the delicious candy like chocolate, they naturally smiled.

After finishing a large piece of chocolate in a few bites, the two children looked at Zhang Tongtian again, but Zhang Tongtian only had a few chocolates on him. This was because he didn't like eating this thing so much that he saved.

After giving the chocolate that he had bitten into his hand to the two children, Zhang Tongtian flipped it out again in his bag and finally took out a large piece of jerky.

"This is my snack for the old pig, please put it back!" After seeing this piece of jerky meat, the iron-backed wild boar king immediately warned Zhang Tongtian with his divine thoughts.

"Isn't it just a piece of jerky meat? You're too stingy. I'll give you ten yuan when I go back!" Zhang Tongtian comforted the iron-backed wild boar king, then pulled out a dagger from his waist, cut the jerky into thin pieces of meat, and distributed it to two children.

This time, Zhang Tongtian didn't need to demonstrate, and the two children knew that this was a good thing, so they immediately stuffed it into their mouths after the meat slices were produced.

As a result, after chewing for a few times, both children were so spicy that they kept smoking. It turned out that the piece of jerky meat from the Ironback Wild Boar King had a spicy flavor. When making it, a spice unique to the Xuangu Continent was added. In addition to enhancing the aroma of the jerky meat, this spice will also greatly increase its spicyness.

Two children who had never eaten this spicy food suddenly couldn't adapt to such spicy food.

However, although his face turned red and even tears came out, the two children were reluctant to spit out the meat they had eaten. After all, for them, this meat was a good thing that was difficult to eat in their usual places and could not be wasted.

Moreover, as they were spicy, the two of them slowly tasted the unique taste of this jerky. Although their tongues were so spicy that they were almost completely numb, they were still taking the cut pieces of meat from Zhang Tongtian and quickly stuffing them into their mouths.

"Eat slowly! You're all spicy! Come on, drink some water first!" Zhang Tongtian looked at the two children's faces red when he was pulled, smiled and took off the kettle around his waist and handed it to the two of them.

The boy among the two children took the initiative to take the kettle, opened the lid and took a big sip, and quickly handed it to the girl beside him.

"General, His Majesty the Emperor sent a telegram, ordering our army to return immediately!"

Just as Zhang Tongtian was feeding the two children with great interest, the communication soldier suddenly ran to him and handed him the latest telegram.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Tongtian immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and did not delay any further. He immediately led the army back.

As for the two children, they naturally put them on the back of the Iron-Backed Wild Boar King and carried them away together. Anyway, the Iron-Backed Wild Boar King is huge and has a body of more than fifty meters long. It is more than enough to carry two more children.

The reason why Guo Dafu suddenly rushed to summon various troops to return was because several troops were ambushed by the enemy halfway and suffered heavy losses. Among them, the troops led by Gongsun Lie were besieged by an army of about 100,000 beasts led by more than a dozen beast generals. Gongsun Lie was also tough. In order not to let Guo Dafu down, he faced the siege of the enemy that was several times higher than his own. He was finally "dead" on the spot. At this time, he was probably resurrected by the Holy Tree King.

Due to Gongsun Lie's desperate battle, most of the 20,000 troops led by him successfully broke through, only losing more than 3,000 troops.

But no matter what, the loss of today is greater than the losses of so many days before.

Guo Dafu speculated that the reason why the enemy suddenly started a counterattack was probably because the cities he captured and territories he occupied during this period were too large, which exceeded the expectations of the Sea Dragon Emperor, so the opponent launched this wave of counterattack, which made Guo Dafu stop when he was about to get better.
