At the current distance, the Southern Barbarian Army, which only has long-range weapons such as crossbows, missiles, and vehicles, cannot harm the Jiuyou National Army. In addition, the Jiuyou National Army is fighting without declaring
, directly caught the Southern Barbarian army by surprise; this advantage was not small at all.
By the time the Southern Barbarians reacted, the sky thunder cannons were already tearing apart the city wall, and the poisonous fire cannons continued to illuminate the night sky. The power of the bombardment was earth-shattering, and the deafening sound of the cannons resounded throughout the sky.
All the vehicles and transponders on the northern city wall were destroyed one after another in the bombardment, and many towers and watchtowers collapsed. Broken beams and broken tiles fell to the ground, killing and injuring countless Southern Barbarian soldiers.
When the second round of bombardment ended, the air cavalry and flying troops also began the long-awaited air attack amidst the sound of loud horns.
The reggae with high morale were hovering in the night sky, taking deep breaths one after another, puffing up their bellies, aiming at the dock on the ground, and suddenly spitting out rapid-fire thunder and sky-piercing lightning. The agile Yumen and
The brave Houtou people guarded each other in pairs, soared into the sky until they were a hundred feet above the ground, then ignited the fire dragons in their hands or the sky-shattering thunder, and aimed at the fortress in Muli Mountain.
The air cavalry ignited the small cannons mounted on the left and right sides of the mounts, and at the same time, hundreds of fire unicorns breathed blazing flames from the air, igniting the mountain defense facilities one after another.
The tigers and eagles screamed and soared with their wings, and rushed towards the hillside with Qinyuan screaming loudly. The monsters riding on the backs of the eagles opened their hands with unicorn bows, and aimed at the bed erected on the hillside.
Crossbow, the Southern Barbarian army preparing to counterattack.
Each of the excellent bows of Jiuyou Kingdom is strictly analyzed according to the winter. The corners are cured in the spring and the tendons are cured in the summer. The materials are combined in the autumn, and the bow arms are placed in the bow box in the cold winter to finalize the shape.
A complex process that took two to three years to complete.
Moreover, the bow arms are all made of the upper layer of custard wood produced in Danshui County. The outer sides of the bow arms are pasted with round and moist unicorn tendons, and the inner sides of the bow arms are hung with horns that are not more than two feet long and five inches long.
Enhanced bow arm elasticity
At the same time, it made the bow wielder's arrows fly faster than the wind and hit objects deeper. Even if the southern barbarian army wore tough vine armor, they could not be defeated by the minnows whose arrow skills were extremely accurate.
Arrow pierces the heart.
Suddenly, under the rain of arrows from the sky, on the east and west slopes of Muliaguan, fires could be seen shooting into the sky and black smoke billowing. Wherever the flames passed, there were originally lush mulberry trees and unknown shrubs.
Everything turned into charred black. Heart-rending screams could be heard one after another, and hysterical sounds could be heard endlessly.
The scorching wind swept the scorching air waves, and the flames spread in all directions in the mountains. They surged like roaring waves, like poisonous snakes swallowing snake letters, spreading unscrupulously across the mountains and plains.
If the panic-stricken Southern Barbarian army only needs to slow down a step, they will be swept up in the layers of churning flames and disappear without a trace in the sea of fire.
If they were not burned to death by the flames, they would not necessarily be lucky. Five or six out of ten people died in the air raids. Either they were blown into pieces by the fire dragon water and thunder, or they were killed by the flying arrows of the minnows.
What's even more frightening is that the nightmare did not end, and what followed was the third round of shelling by the Jiuyou National Army.
After the enemy tower collapsed, Shahu, who was pinned down by broken bricks, tiles and beams, was very lucky. In addition to many bruises on his body, he also successfully escaped two rounds of shelling.
When he couldn't stop ringing in his ears, he struggled to overturn the beams and broken tiles on his body, slowly stood up from the ground and looked around, but he saw that the originally spectacular pass was already riddled with holes; flames were flying everywhere, and fire could be seen everywhere.
There were piles of rocks and broken wood, and under a bloody mess, human souls and bodies that were gradually turning into powder were lying everywhere.
Even though there were quite a few soldiers who survived, they all ended up with bruises all over their bodies.
After a brief moment of shock and anger, Shi Hu, who had experienced hundreds of battles, picked up the horn lying quietly in the ruins and blew a sonorous and powerful charge order.
At this moment, Muliduan Pass, with its tall city walls and solid enemy towers, could no longer serve as a barrier for the Southern Barbarians to save their lives. The only way to survive was to break out of the pass and charge down from a high position to still have a slight chance of victory.
In addition, there are countless jagged rocks and large and small stone walls on both sides of the ancient road outside the pass. They stand on the hillside in various directions, which can be used as a barrier to avoid the artillery bombardment of the Jiuyou National Army when the Nanman National Army charges.
Moreover, once the army moves, it can still gain a chance of survival under the intensive artillery fire of the Jiuyou National Army.
Thinking of this, Shaohu blew the horn even harder.
The southern barbarian troops who heard the attack horn recovered from their panic; they were stunned for a moment, and then after hearing that the horn was indeed the sound of an attack, the ghost blood flowing in their bodies immediately began to boil.
In Xuanyan Continent, many of the Southern Barbarian troops who are usually tough are known throughout the world for their bravery and prowess in battle. When not fighting, they are all simple and hospitable, and there is really no sign of their ferocity. But once the battle clarion call comes,
When the sound sounded, they must be filled with bloodthirsty desire and rush forward without retreating.
The farthest one is the disastrous defeat at Chongshan Pass in Jiuyou Kingdom five years ago, and the most recent one is the fierce battle outside Guiwei Pass for a month not long ago. These are the best proof of the bravery and skill of the Southern Barbarian Army.
"Go, my warriors, your waist knives are thirsty, they are eager to drink the enemy's blood!" During the roar of artillery fire, dust flew down, and Shihu's eyes were red with murderous look on his face. He hung the horn on his waist.
, he smoothly pulled out the sword from his waist that was curved and had an oblique tip, resembling a crescent moon, and pointed angrily at the foot of the mountain.
The acrid smoke billowed, and the scorching flames surged.
When the world-shaking cry from Shehu fell to the ground, all the surviving Southern Barbarian troops became excited in unison. Like bloodthirsty beasts, they roared to the sky with a cold and fierce light in their eyes. Then they ignored the bleeding and pain in their bodies.
, one after another drew out their sabers, followed the gaps and collapsed areas on the pass, jumped lightly and nimbly, and stood under the city wall.
"Seeking death!" With the firelight rising all over the mountain, after seeing the Southern Barbarian army pouring out of the pass like a tide, the ghost man squeezed out the word "cold" between his teeth, and then waved the command flag in his hand.
A moment later, the sound of war drums sounded like raindrops in the formation of the Jiuyou National Army.
The large artillery stopped firing, but the small cannons that had already raised their heads and had the muzzle of a crouching tiger with fangs like a ghost began to reload their ammunition.
Under the vast night, there was a strong wind howling; the sound of the wind was filled with the shouts of killing from the southern barbarian army.
In just a moment, all the small artillery pieces of the Jiuyou National Army had been loaded. A series of "booms" followed, and firelight shot out as the ground trembled. The round-shaped cannonballs whizzed and flew, streaking across the sky.
After breaking through the night sky, it suddenly fell to the ground and exploded among the Southern Barbarian troops all over the mountains and plains. In the dazzling flames, air waves continued to rise, dust and gravel flew endlessly, and countless Southern Barbarian troops were suddenly blown into pieces.
Even so, they rushed down the mountain under the sound of horns. It seemed that under the soul-stirring horn sounds, non-stop fighting became their only remaining instinct.
But in the face of the menacing Southern Barbarian Army, every Jiuyou National Army remained unfazed; firstly, they have advanced equipment and large numbers. Secondly, they have continued the training that Xiao Shizhu developed for the former Xiao Family Army.
policy.
In addition to the required training subjects that must not be missed, all the Jiuyou National Army will be divided into groups every day, and they will all be divided into two ghosts to fight. The winner can get a reward of five copper coins, and the loser cannot.
Treat the injury in time, but first suffer the punishment of five army sticks.
Although such training is barbaric and unkind, it allows each individual soldier of the Jiuyou National Army to fight once a day, greatly improving the combat effectiveness of the sergeants.
When the first group of Southern Barbarians who rushed down the hillside and approached the Jiuyou Kingdom's vanguard approached, the row of Jiuyou Kingdom infantrymen standing at the front of the military formation shouted loudly: "Ha!" and leveled their spears one after another.
Stretch out and shrink back.
The two rows of gun soldiers following closely behind had already pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang!" Amidst the bursts of gunfire, red muskets shot out from the dark muzzle at a speed that was blinding.
In the hands of the Jiuyou Army, Lai Yueqi modified the Thunder Gun and the Continuous Gun based on the books left by the ancient gods. They are almost the same as the firearms in the world. They use the technology of sub-guns and firing pins to fire. Not only can they fire continuously,
It can also greatly increase the rate of fire and power, while reducing the disadvantages of misfiring or exploding the barrel.
The most vicious thing is that Lai Yueqi and Xiao Shizhu learned from Guijingguijing that she requires all the weapons supervisors under her to make the warheads and shrapnel of each musket made of soul-breaking iron. No matter who you are.
Human souls and demonic souls will die with just one shot.
I saw the Southern Barbarian Army rushing at the front. Under the crazy shooting of the Nine Nether Army, its body suddenly twitched amid the loud gunfire, and then fell to the ground dead.
In the blink of an eye, the Southern Barbarian Army lost thousands more sergeants.
Occasionally, some were lucky enough not to be shot. When they rushed to the front, they were pierced by the sharp spears made of star marrow steel by the shield-bearing infantry at the front, and ended up either dead or injured.
.
The first platoon of artillerymen following the infantry once again calmly reloaded and opened fire, killing the Southern Barbarian troops who were still rushing down the hillside.
But even so, the Southern Barbarians did not stop their charge. They charged forward one after another, trying to use their flesh and blood to break through the Nine Nether Army's formation.
Suddenly, the drums and horns of the Jiuyou Army sounded again, and the military flags were fluttering in the wind. The cavalry, who were waiting on both wings, could not wait. Following Xuanshui who was the first to rush out, they rushed towards the Nanman Army with swords and spears.
.
The Hundred Fantasy Butterflies, which had not moved for a long time, also flapped their wings and flew forward, circling and circling over the heads of the Southern Barbarians, aiming at the targets on the ground. They all opened their bows and fired furiously.
Shehu stood silently on the city wall riddled with holes, looking down at his men who were sent to their deaths one after another. He was so angry that his whole body trembled, and his eyes almost wanted to spit fire.
"Blow the retreat horn." After a moment, he suddenly turned around and said urgently to the guards behind him: "Quickly release the mountain spiders in the dungeon!".
The guard hurriedly took the order and left; when his figure disappeared on the city wall, there were waves of low horn sounds from within the wall.
The Southern Barbarian troops, who had been beaten to pieces but were still fighting fiercely with the Jiuyou Army, heard the sound of the horns. They all turned their heads and glanced at their comrades who were still on the hillside and had not yet come down. They raised the corners of their mouths and smiled slightly, with a look in their eyes.
A touch of determination and fearlessness.
Xuanshui, who had participated in the battle of Linglong City, suddenly felt that the look in his eyes was very familiar. But before he could think about it, the surrounded southern barbarian troops suddenly went crazy and attacked without retreating. They danced the weapons in their hands tightly.
Kill them suddenly.
Xuan Shui's heart froze, and he suddenly remembered that this was exactly the same look in the eyes of the Ghost King's army who were trapped on the bridge in front of Linglong City that day. At that moment, he did not dare to be distracted anymore and devoted himself to the fight with full concentration.
When the Southern Barbarian troops who had not yet descended the mountain had almost retreated to the pass, dozens of boulders at the foot of the mountain suddenly made a rumbling sound and rolled forward at the same time, revealing rocks the size of millstones, filled with fishy wind.
The dark entrance.
Immediately afterwards, in the darkness behind the cave entrance, green light flickered from the starting point. (To be continued)
