The pungent smell of fire oil spread with the wind in the rain; the Luzhai trench that Fengdu Army had carefully laid out before was now in vain.
Obviously, Xiong Guojun used fierce fire oil as a combustion accelerant.
Not only the soldiers in the Fengdu Army did not expect that the Xiong Army could counterattack so quickly, but even Ji Meng was surprised by the speed of their revenge.
More and more Xiong cavalry rushed out from the darkness after the storm, rampaging through the Fengdu Army's camp, cutting down tents and burning them whenever possible. They were so fierce that they were unstoppable. In just a moment, the west side of the camp was already covered with fire. The place was drowned in thick smoke and flames, and screams continued as flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Stationed to the west of the camp is the right army of the Fengdu Army, whose combat power is second only to the Chinese army stationed around Ji Meng's tent. However, under the sudden attack of the Xiong Kingdom's cavalry, in a moment, this once brave and skilled army The right army of Fengdu Army had lost the courage to resist, leaving only panic and panic.
No matter how strong the wind and rain are, it can't wash away the increasingly pungent smell of blood, nor can it extinguish the increasingly fierce flames in the camp to the west. It can't wash away Ji Meng, who is standing in the rain, with his dragon-headed face getting more and more fierce. Increasing anger.
Ji Meng, who was standing far away, gritted his teeth for a while. Only in this way could he temporarily relieve the itching he felt.
"Assemble the sergeants from the left and rear camps of the Central Army and kill them immediately!" Ji Meng trembled all over; in his clenched fists, sharp bird claws curled up like human hands, letting his fingertips dig into the skin of his palms: " The soldiers of the right army and the front battalion of the front army will detour from the north and outflank the enemy!"
Ji Meng gave the order to the deputy general in an almost roaring tone.
The lieutenant did not dare to neglect and hurriedly responded.
The battle to the west of the camp continued, with Xiong Guojun becoming more and more courageous as they fought. The wind and rain made most of the firearms that Fengdu Army relied on in the past ineffective. Although the remaining ghost cannons were waterproof, the soldiers and horses of both sides were mixed together and became a mess. , it can be said that there is me among you, and you among me, Ji Meng did not dare to order the artillery battalion to come to support.
For a time, the Fengdu Army fell into a disadvantageous situation of being stretched thin, and the eighty Kui skin drums made of Kui cowhide in the Xiong Kingdom army were at this time made by the drummers of the Xiong Kingdom using the bones of thunder beasts. The drumsticks struck in unison, making a rumbling sound that covered the thunder in the sky and shook the earth. It shook the world and made the Fengdu army tremble.
The mounts of the Xiong Kingdom's cavalry were in high spirits to the sound of drums, the bears roared under the thick smoke, and the wolves and leopards roared in the firelight. The riders waved their swords and bows, chasing the fleeing Fengdu army.
At the same time, a loud and urgent horn sounded near the central tent of the Fengdu Army. Thousands of air cavalry rose from the ground to the sky, leaped westward in the rain, and killed the menacing Youxiong Army.
Followed closely were the Fengdu infantry who were neatly dressed and holding long and sharp fine steel swords that were as clean as fresh. Their equipment was made of the same fine steel that Xiao Shizhu paid tribute to Emperor Fengdu seven or eight years ago. finished weapon.
The air cavalry roared to attack, and the infantry formed a square formation and marched arrogantly, heading towards the west with their heads high and their chests high.
Seeing that the Fengdu Army quickly organized a counterattack, the drumming of the Xiongguo Army suddenly stopped, and the cavalry scattered in various places began to gather quickly, and then retreated in an orderly manner outside the military camp.
At this moment, there was a roar deep in the black clouds in the sky, and hundreds of fireballs the size of millstones emerged from the clouds one after another amid the thunder and lightning, falling from the sky with blazing flames. But in the center of the fireballs, there was a flickering light. Dazzling flashes of lightning.
"Thunder and Fire!" Ji Meng was suddenly horrified when he looked up at the red sky. With just one glance, he recognized that this was the art of ghosts and gods practiced by the female demon.
When fighting in the human world, the female slave relied on this move to allow the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan to defeat the overwhelming Chi You army.
Just when Ji Meng's eyes widened in horror, he heard a sharp sound piercing the air, and three fireballs rushed down with a "rumbling" and crashed into the Fengdu Army's military camp.
The flames were like poisonous snakes, spreading from the broken fireball to the surroundings; thunder and lightning and broken arms and limbs made sizzling sounds, and as the burning flames splashed and flew across the air, a wailing sound erupted in the Fengdu Army camp.
The night wind was scorching hot, and the heavy rain suddenly stopped. The flames were rising in the Fengdu military camp. The surviving Fengdu soldiers were thirsty and sweating all over their bodies. They were suffering from exhaustion due to the burning flames.
.
In the sky, the remaining fireballs were still slowly falling, and the sky and the earth were already red, without any other color.
On the ground, Ji Meng had raised his arms and pointed directly at the sky, with his palms facing the sky above his head.
A moment later, there was a rumble of thunder in the sky. Immediately afterwards, streaks of lightning pierced the sky like sharp swords, bringing raindrops as big as soybeans, and howling winds fell from the sky, hitting the ground with crackling sounds.
.
Whether it was in the air or on the ground, it was instantly shrouded in a mysterious veil composed of thousands of fine raindrops. The flames on the ground suddenly dimmed, and the fireball in the air was drenched by the rain and gradually shrank.
The Fengdu army, which had been forced to retreat by the fierce flames, burst into cheers; but Ji Meng, who was using the violent storm, looked pale and his facial features were distorted.
Suddenly, heavy rain fell from the sky, causing the soul energy in his body to drop rapidly. Ji Meng still persisted, standing proudly on the spot and straightening his back.
The wind and rain in the sky became stronger, with thunder and lightning, and the increasingly dense rainstorm formed curtains of water between the sky and the earth, blurring all the surrounding scenery. The strong wind blew everything on the ground tossing and turning, but Ji Meng was like a strong pine in the wind, as stable as Mount Tai.
Standing in the storm.
The Fengdu Army stabilized their position, took the opportunity to move forward against the wind, and caught up with the Xiong Guojun who had just withdrawn from the camp.
The unyielding souls with ferocious faces were like two dark and angry waves, suddenly colliding together; soldiers on both sides waved their bloody swords without giving in, letting out bursts of deep howls and launching a primitive fight, with a tragic atmosphere.
Spreading out in the wind and rain...
At dawn, the overcast sun rising in the west breaks through the darkness of the night, bringing the light of a new day to the underworld.
The ocher-yellow Langya Mountain rises abruptly from the plain, bathed in the blood-colored light of the overcast sun. On the cliffs of the mountain, there are forts and city walls built with huge bricks and stones, forming a majestic and imposing building.
A pass built on the mountain.
Surrounded by flat plains, Langya Mountain naturally stands out, but it has also become a key location of the place.
Ten days ago at night, Xuanshui led his troops to capture this place. Although Xuanshui's capture of this place did not cause much damage, Xuanshui, who had already received a tip that King Taishan might go south, did not strike while the iron was hot and move forward.
They came here to stick to Langya Mountain. They were either building towers or digging trenches under the mountain all day long.
In just ten days, Langya Pass was even more impregnable than before. Food and grass were also constantly sent from Qingmu County and stored in the pass. In addition to the food stored by the Xiazhou National Army here before, the food in Langya Pass was enough for this place.
The Jiuyou National Army and the surrendered soldiers have been eating for a month.
But the good times did not last long. Just yesterday, King Taishan, who was supposed to be negotiating with Shebishi in the north, suddenly led a hundred thousand Fengdu troops southward and attacked Langya Pass. Following closely behind him, there were three hundred thousand Xia
State Army.
In the middle of the night, 100,000 Fengdu troops had completed the encirclement at the foot of the mountain, completely surrounding Langya Mountain, which was not too high. The Xiazhou State army was on the periphery, guarding the traffic arteries near Langya Mountain.
, hindering Jiuyou Kingdom's support to Langya Mountain, making Langya Pass an isolated and helpless island among thousands of troops.
King Taishan, who has fought for the Northern Yin Dynasty all his life, also knows the importance of this place. It is the east gate of Xiazhou Kingdom. Once it is firmly controlled by the Jiuyou National Army, the Jiuyou National Army can attack Xiazhou Kingdom.
All towns in the east, cut off some of his supplies, and then retreat to guard the various places west of Aoki County.
In the eyes of King Taishan, this mountain was no longer just a mountain, but also a nail pierced into the sole of his foot, causing him unbearable pain.
It happened that a large number of fire dragon guns had arrived in Dongyi Continent at this time; although a few of them were sunk by Gonggong's gunmen and ships when they were at sea, there were still 20,000 fire dragon guns distributed to King Taishan.
, two million rounds of fire bombs are still enough for him to equip twenty ghost soldiers.
Moreover, he also brought fifty ghost cannons from the northern battlefield.
Little did they know that Xuan Shui's purpose of sticking to this place was to use himself as a magnet to attract him, King Taishan, and then eliminate his main force here.
In other words, the Northern Yin Dynasty no longer has a foundation in Dongyi Continent, and the Jiuyou Kingdom can monopolize this continent. King Taishan never dreamed that this would be the last battle in his life.
The brutality was also the most intense in King Taishan's battle career.
Xuan Shui stood on the watchtower in the middle of the fort on the top of the mountain. He leaned on the railing and looked at the densely packed Fengdu army at the foot of the mountain. He couldn't help but frown. The number of enemy troops was ten times that of his troops, and they were also equipped with firearms. His intuition told Xuan Shui
The battle against water is not an easy one.
But Xuanshui, who was already a battle-hardened ghost general, was not afraid. At the same time, he was also a little excited. There were many ghost generals in Jiuyou Kingdom who were good at fighting, but only a few ghosts had ever fought against the Fengdu Army head-on.
When the battle to defend Shuoyue Island started, he was fighting fiercely with Du Ziren's army in Nanman, and missed the opportunity to fight against the Fengdu army, which was arrogant in the underworld.
This time, God put an opportunity in front of him, and although he was calm and composed, he couldn't help but feel a touch of excitement deep in his heart.
"The Northern Yin Dynasty has spent a lot of money." Zhu Hai walked to him and stood next to him, overlooking the flags covering the sky at the foot of the mountain, and the Fengdu Army with as many sergeants as a swarm of ants, and sighed leisurely: "It actually opened the door
Such a huge formation.”
"What's this? I think back when I was fighting in the Southern Barbarians, Du Ziren's army would always have hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers when they went into battle. The wind was miserable, the clouds were thick, and the ghosts were full of ghosts. That was spectacular." Xuan Shui smiled indifferently.
He said with satisfaction: "Let the army calibrate its artillery and be ready to attack at any time!".
After a pause, Xuanshui warned again: "But without my order, any sergeant other than the Feitian Army and the Air Cavalry are not allowed to leave the seclusion to fight for the time being.".
"No!" Zhu Hai clasped his fists and saluted, then turned around and strode away.
Just a moment after Zhu Hai left, the Fengdu army at the foot of the mountain had already formed its formation. Their infantry were in front and divided into two columns. Those in front squatted down while those behind stood up. The artillery that followed also slowly raised its head.
He raised his muzzle and pointed directly at the watchtowers and turrets on the mountain.
"The Poison Fire Cannons are at their positions, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Cannons are aimed at the enemy." Xuan Shui turned his head and gave orders to the flag bearers and fungi who were following him.
This Nine Heavens Thunder Cannon is a new type of artillery of the Jiuyou Army. It is an improved firearm based on the small Sky Thunder Cannon. The barrels of nine small Sky Thunder Cannons are stacked into three rows and mounted on the artillery cart. It can fire nine rounds at a time.
It was named after firing cannonballs.
The falling star cannon that is about to arrive is also made from this prototype.
Just when Xuanshui finished speaking, the musketeers of Fengdu Army had already started fighting without declaring it.
The sound of gunshots shook the sky and the earth. Fireballs shot out from the muzzle of the gun and suddenly hit the wall on the mountain. The muzzle burst out with red flames. (To be continued)
