Chapter 129 Special Envoy of the Privy Council
Although this kind of rolling stone looks no different from ordinary rolling stones, its internal structure is completely different.
As long as this kind of kerosene flare falls on the ground, it will explode instantly.
The large amount of kerosene inside will instantly ignite the entire nearby area, which will not only cause considerable damage to Taotie, but also allow the view of the valley below.
But at this moment, when the trebuchets on the city tower fired kerosene bombs one after another.
The third-level dead soldiers who were leaders on the city tower soon saw that there were a large number of gluttonous beast soldiers dormant and moving forward in the valley.
Seeing this scene, the dead archers on the city wall who were responsible for setting up defenses bent their bows and arrows in an instant, and accurately shot the sharp arrows into the armpits of the gluttonous beast soldiers in the valley.
Just a wave of arrows fell, and thousands of gluttonous beast soldiers were immediately killed in the valley.
An hour later, as a large number of arrows and kerosene bombs fell, the entire valley became a sea of fire.
The Taotie army, which originally planned to attack the city at night, had no choice but to retreat.
After all the gluttonous army retreated, the night became calm again.
The next morning, at the southern gate of the Great Wall, the special envoy from Bianliang also arrived outside the city.
"I am the special envoy of the Privy Council. Please open the city gate quickly."
"Lord General, below are the people sent by the imperial court." Above the city tower, a gate guard from the Shadowless Forbidden Army said to a dead soldier.
"Let them in!"
"Yes, Lord General!"
Nowadays, a small group of dead soldiers are stationed at every gate of the entire Great Wall.
Although the number of people is small, the soldiers and guards responsible for guarding the city gates, such as the Shadowless Forbidden Army, will first ask the leaders of these dead soldiers whether to open the city gate.
Because all the soldiers of the Shadowless Forbidden Army know that these dead soldiers are all heavenly soldiers and generals from heaven.
Such a noble existence can actually be compared with the princes, ministers and emperors in the mortal world.
Soon, when the city gate opened, the special envoy of the Privy Council who came from Bianliang immediately felt that pairs of eyes all around were staring at them at all times.
It seemed that as long as they made any movement, these soldiers would capture them all in an instant.
A moment later, in a large hall in the city, Shao Xingwu, the commander of the Shadowless Forbidden Army, met with the special envoy of the Privy Council.
"Master Shen!"
"General Shao, I'm here to verify the affairs of the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals. Where are your Divine Generals here?"
"Lord Shen, please be careful in saying that many divine generals and His Majesty the Holy Emperor descended from heaven to help ordinary people like us destroy the gluttonous ferocious beasts, and we should not criticize ourselves."
"General Shao, are you sure you are not kidding? Are there really so-called heavenly soldiers and divine generals? What kind of holy emperors are there? If there are, why haven't I seen any of them?"
"Master Shen, many divine generals are stationed in the city tower to prevent Taotie from attacking the city. If Master Shen continues to criticize himself, then I will have no choice but to see the guests away."
In fact, Shao Xingwu didn't know how the imperial court knew the news, because he did not send anyone to report the relevant news to the imperial court.
Now that the imperial court has sent people, Shao Xingwu felt that there should be spies from the imperial court within his Shadowless Forbidden Army.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain how the imperial court learned about these situations within the Shadowless Forbidden Army.
At the moment, what Shao Xingwu is concerned about is not the trivial matters of the court at all, but how to cooperate with dead men like Li Yang to completely eliminate Taotie.
Faced with Shao Xingwu's tough attitude, the special envoy immediately calmed down.
"I am being rude. Please don't blame me, General Shao. I am also carrying an order from the court and have come to your Shadowless Forbidden Army to verify this matter. I have no other intentions."
"If this is just the case, then I can only tell Mr. Shen that all of this is real!"
"Then General Shao, can you recommend me to meet this divine general and the Holy Emperor?"
"I'm sorry, Master Shen. His Majesty the Divine General and the Holy Emperor have already issued orders that no one is allowed to board the tower at will during the war preparation period."
"Because the defense of the entire Great Wall has now been taken over by many divine generals, we and all the officers of the Shadowless Forbidden Army are only preparing for war."
"Not even a possibility?"
"No!"
"Okay, then I can stay in the city for a while!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Shen, this is the war preparation period of our Shadowless Forbidden Army. No soldiers who are not my Shadowless Forbidden Army can stay overnight!"
"you……"
"Come here, take Master Shen out of the city."
Shao Xingwu immediately issued an eviction order.
It was an urgent period to resist the Taotie. Everywhere in the city was working non-stop to produce various military equipment. He had no time to worry about whether he would offend any ministers of the DPRK.
This little episode passed quickly, and in the early morning two days later, the entire Great Wall was filled with fog.
All the dead warrior generals responsible for defending the city are always on alert.
Because of such weather, if the Taotie army takes the opportunity to attack the city, it will be very disadvantageous for them to defend the city.
Sure enough, as the sky gradually became brighter.
There were also bursts of movement in the valley.
"Rolling rocks, kerosene bombs and archers are ready, the Taotie army has begun to approach."
Although the vast white fog blocks the view of the entire valley, these third-level dead soldiers have excellent hearing.
As the noise in the valley became louder and louder, they could also tell that there was a large army of gluttons below the valley slowly approaching the city wall.
Just like that, another battle to attack and defend the city began.
However, after it lasted for an hour, the Taotie army probably realized that they could not take the opportunity to break through the city wall, so they did not continue to attack the city and retreated again.
It was not until the 10th day that hot air balloons were mass-produced.
There are now a full 100 hot air balloons.
According to the standard of one hot air balloon transporting ten dead soldiers, one hundred hot air balloons can carry 1,000 dead soldiers, or an equivalent number of black powder bombs.
"Qin Zhan, sent a reconnaissance team to the depths of the valley to investigate. Taotie has not been attacking the city in the past few days. Could it be that he found other places to break through the Great Wall?"
"Yes, Master!"
Soon, the two hot air balloons on the tower were lit.
An hour later, the two hot air balloons slowly floated over the mountain with a green halo where Taotie's lair was located.
In the city, Li Yang also saw this strange mountain clearly from the perspective of a dead soldier.
At this moment, under the foot of this mountain, at the end of the valley, there is a huge cave.
There are also many gluttonous beast soldiers scattered around the cave.
"It seems that I have overthought it. With the terrain of the nearby mountains, it is simply impossible for these gluttons to dig an underground passage to the outside world from the area where their lair is located."
Chapter completed!
