Chapter 91 The evil siege of the city (seeking for further reading)
"My Excellency, Deputy Si Zhengyue Buqun of the Dangmo Department!" Since he was disgusted in his heart, Yue Buqun's response would naturally not be deliberately tactful.
Yue Buqun has long since passed the 'mature and steady' stage, and now he just wants to live his own life.
In one sentence, he not only announced his family status, but also told Liu Daxia that they were not from the same place.
The Dang Mo Division is similar to the Jin Yi Guards. They are both independent from the Six Divisions. From the perspective of the orthodox civil and military system, they are both aliens.
Of course, at least currently, Dang Mo Si does not attract as much hatred as Jin Yiwei. This is related to his authority.
However, if the Ming Dynasty does not fall, it will only be a matter of time with the development of the Demon Division and the proliferation of power, making the six tribes jealous and even more hated than the Jinyiwei.
The Demonic Division only has the power to "coordinate all evil things", and with the proliferation of evil, there will be too much room for manipulation in the future. In addition, it is a violent department, and it will essentially become the old rules of the past.
of destroyers.
No matter what kind of person Liu Daxia was, his political talent as an official was definitely not low.
So after hearing that Yue Buqun announced his family status, the original enthusiasm became much colder.
Looking at Liu Daxia, who was still smiling on the surface but no longer showing any deep acquaintance in his eyes, Yue Buqun became more certain of his judgment.
On the other hand, the little boy who was following Liu Daxia kept looking at Yue Buqun with curiosity and admiration, and his excited expression showed no pretense at all.
"It turned out to be Yue Sizheng. I would like to thank Yue Sizheng for the rescue this time. Liu is deeply grateful. I will be rewarded if I tie a grass ring in the future." Liu Daxia said.
"That's it for now. Yue has something important to do, so I'll take the first step." Yue Buqun refused to be polite to him on the surface.
"Ambassador Liu, farewell!" he said and whistled.
The horse that had just been let go ran back quickly after hearing the whistle.
Yue Buqun got on his horse and rode towards the capital.
At the same time, except for Sizheng and Zhang Tianshi, all other officials from the Dangmo Division in the capital were sitting in the courtyard. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the seismometer in the courtyard.
This seismometer is modeled after Zhang Heng's seismometer. It is made of copper and has a diameter of eight feet. It is shaped like a wine bottle, has a closed lid and is decorated with turtles, birds and animals.
There is a capital pillar in the bottle, and there are eight roads running beside it, which are used to control the movement. Outside, there are dragons in all directions. The first one is a copper pill, which is carried by a toad.
The earth shakes the bottle, so the dragon spits out pills, and the toad opens its mouth to receive them.
Weixie, especially those with weird shapes, mostly have huge bodies and must make movement when they move. Using a seismometer to measure weird monsters is one of the methods that Dang Mosi came up with.
In addition, there are many similar measurement methods, so I won’t list them all here.
A Taoist man was sitting on the side of the seismograph, holding the Heavenly Disk in his hand, constantly observing the weather and terrain changes, and adjusting the alignment of the symbols on the Heavenly Disk according to various factors. It was not clear whether it was useful or not, but it looked like it was indeed
Presentable and convincing.
Yang Buhui and Ning Zhong represented Yue Buqun, sitting on the left and right sides of the vacant first place respectively.
In contrast, Ning Zhong made many subtle movements, which fully demonstrated her inner peace.
But Yang Buhui only did one thing, sharpen his knife.
Click!
There was a sound of a machine, and copper pills were spit out from the dragon's mouth in the east.
Everyone was shocked.
Immediately, someone stood in the courtyard and raised flags.
On the watchtower not far away, the drummer who received the signal began to beat the drum according to the prescribed rhythm.
All the gates in the four directions of the capital were closed, and all the defenders were holding weapons tightly, guarding the forts, heavy crossbows, and catapults, ready to attack at any time.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths... enough time for a stick of incense has passed.
The announced attack did not come as promised.
At this moment, the sky turned completely dark.
There is no moon tonight, and even the stars are sparse.
Therefore, the darkness is also extremely gloomy, as if it wants to swallow up all the light in this boundless darkness.
A large number of torches and fire racks were lit on the city wall. Everyone's eyes widened, not daring to relax for a moment. They locked their eyes on the dark and unknown place, reaching the limit of their eyesight and the limit of the firelight.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the entire city wall seemed to be shaking.
A monster with a spiral drill bit on its head, resembling a giant mole, but covered in bone armor with bloodshot eyeballs in the gaps between the bone armor, emerged from under the city wall.
It obviously planned to burrow directly into the ground and sneak into the capital, but it suffered a big loss.
Under the four walls of the capital, they have been watered with iron juice and reinforced repeatedly. The city walls are connected to the root-like network formed by the solidification of the iron juice underground, which is not easy to exploit.
"The evil is coming! Soldiers, shoot!" On the east wall, the commanding general waved his sword and shouted.
In an instant, catapults, ballistas, and artillery were all used, but not all at once, but in a controlled and regular manner.
Among them, artillery has the lowest usage rate.
Artillery has been used on the battlefield during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but due to technical reasons, its use is not mature, and there will be various risks in use if it is not done properly.
Therefore, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to use this thing much.
Of course, even if only the catapults and ballistas were functioning, it would still be enough to drink up the evil spirit.
Although he has bone armor, it is not an armor that completely covers the whole body and can effectively resist force.
Facing the heavy blows from a large number of stones, cracks first appeared in the bone armor on Mole Guixie's body.
Compared with the internal strength and brute force of ordinary warriors, these siege and defense equipment created by human wisdom are truly great weapons.
The bone armor on Mole Guixie's body was broken.
The sharp arrows fired from the crossbow were densely packed and pierced through the cracks in the bone armor.
Some sharp arrows are designed as hollow tubes, which are wrapped with a large amount of fire oil.
As fire-igniting arrows shot out, the mole's evil body was instantly ignited.
This strange and evil head made a shocking and ear-piercing scream while being burned by the fire.
Its cry sounds more like a baby's cry, but the sound is too loud. Not only does it not make people feel pity, but it makes people feel noisy, harsh, and even scary.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of war drums echoed on the city walls.
The sound of drums effectively dispelled the fear of the soldiers and made everyone excited.
Mole Guixie was surrounded by fire and turned into a huge fireball, scurrying under the city, making its final struggle.
When the mole fell down.
Every eyeball on its body is closed.
Amidst the crackling sound of burning, a strange burning smell spread up the city wall.
The soldiers who smelled the strange smell fell to the ground one after another.
"Its body will be highly toxic when burned!"
"Hurry up and use the water dragon to remove the poison." Someone shouted, but the effect was not good.
The poison spread very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half of the city wall lost its resistance.
This mole is so evil that he was originally sent to die.
When its body is burned, it emits a highly toxic smell.
Once this smell drifts up the city wall, or even into the city, the damage and impact it will cause will be difficult to estimate.
