When 25 shells fell, there were 25 large craters and 25 flames in an instant, creating 25 death areas.
The explosion quickly disappeared, but the disaster had just begun. Flames and gunpowder smoke were rolling, but 25 'scars' appeared at the place where the explosion occurred. Three of them, in particular, were almost twenty meters in scope, and were obviously
It was more than twice as big as the others, and there were prostrate figures all around.
The diameter was twice as large, and the lethality was four times greater. After the explosion, dozens of people around him flew directly into the sky, and many of them looked like broken dolls. Within a radius of 100 meters, hundreds of soldiers were knocked down by the shock wave.
After 25 cannonballs fell, the entire Jinyang Kingdom army was stunned. The power and attack method of this artillery were shocking, unfamiliar and scary.
Especially for those newly redeemed prisoners, their fear of shells has almost penetrated into their bones.
At the moment when the shell exploded, even though they were far away from the shell, many people still screamed and ran wildly. Some screamed and squatted down with their heads in their hands, shivering; some even buried their heads in the soil.
, exposing her trembling butt.
Shell phobia, or shell shock, a condition stemming from the fear of shells and death, also appeared in the world for the first time.
Facing artillery shells, ordinary people will feel powerless, fearful, and trembling from the bottom of their hearts.
Not to mention others, even Sima Zhen felt a little trembling when he saw these cannonballs again. Especially when he saw that these cannonballs could penetrate two layers of defensive barriers and then explode, Sima Zhen's head was in a mess and he was extremely shocked!
He vaguely understood - the artillery technology of Qixia Country has improved again!
However, this was just the beginning. Once the artillery attacked, it did not stop; a moment later, 22 smaller artillery shells landed, once again penetrating the two layers of defensive barriers, taking away hundreds of lives and leaving tens of thousands of people dead.
Thousands of soldiers screamed.
Especially the more than 100,000 ransomed prisoners, most of whom screamed in fear. The scene was in chaos!
Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound in the distance, and Sima Zhen saw three particularly large "black spots" flying towards them like lightning, before they could react before they hit the ground.
In an instant, the ground shattered, flames rolled, and the area of hundreds of meters around each cannonball was filled with tragedy.
Sima Zhen took a deep breath and suppressed the fear and trembling in his heart. "All the teams dispersed and tried to hold up the third layer of defensive barrier. Those who are above the Golden Core stage, fight in the air and fight back!"
After all, the Kingdom of Jinyang has some foundation. A large number of masters rose into the sky, and even the war weapons on the flying platforms began to float and press towards the Kingdom of Qixia.
Zhao Huaiyun, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang, looked extremely ugly under the protection of many people - not only was he attacked, not just the artillery and the screams of the newly ransomed prisoners, but what made the prince angry was the calculation of the Kingdom of Qixia.
The distance between the two sides is now more than three kilometers, which means that the country of Qixia can attack with artillery unscrupulously, but its own attacks are beyond its reach.
The worst thing in war is this - your attacks cannot reach the enemy, but the enemy can suppress you and fight without being able to defend yourself.
Are you frustrated or angry?
But the worst was yet to come.
The third layer of defensive barrier is not going well. If you want to hold up the barrier, you need a formation base; the best formation base on the battlefield is the people themselves. In other words, if you want to hold up the defense, you need someone to be exposed.
under attack.
Under the attack of artillery shells, many soldiers have become confused. Now you ask them to risk their lives to prop up the defensive barrier. If they don't do it... don't think of using us as cannon fodder!
Finally, the masters finally took off, and they angrily rushed towards the Kingdom of Qixia. Dozens or hundreds of people formed a 'Ho Luo Formation', forming giants that were hundreds of meters tall, and they killed them back with overwhelming force.
However, the Qixia Kingdom was well prepared. Zhao Donghe from the Canglan Kingdom snorted and took the lead in killing them. They did not form a battle formation, but "iron buckets" each half a meter in size appeared in their hands.
These "iron barrels" were very rough, with deep scratches on the surface, and "fuses" on the iron barrels. Zhao Donghe and others lit the fuses, roared, and threw the heavy "iron barrels" out.
A layer of light of true energy enveloped the 'iron barrels', allowing them to fly far away quickly and safely, falling right next to the Ho Luo formation.
After throwing the iron bucket, Zhao Donghe and others screamed strangely and backed away, as if there was a life-seeking ghost behind them.
This strange behavior of the Qixia Kingdom alerted the masters of the Jinyang Kingdom; Diao Deshan, the leader, was even more shocked: "They are explosives. Cutting them off can reduce the power to the minimum!"
The flying sword flashed past, a large number of 'iron barrels' were cut off, and explosives filled the sky.
However, seeing their actions, Zhang Hao showed a mocking smile. If it was one or two 'bombs', of course they would be effective. But what if there were hundreds?
Just now, Zhao Donghe and others threw more than 400 bombs at one go! Now the gunpowder is filling the void, and only half of the bombs have been destroyed.
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes.
The next moment, a sun suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a 'super sun' with a diameter of five to six hundred meters. Regardless of whether it was a intact bomb or a spilled explosive, it was detonated almost at the same time.
More than 400 bombs, no more than 20 tons of explosives!
So it's no wonder that Zhao Donghe and others screamed for their lives - they had seen the explosion at Yunhaiguan. That time it was 50 tons of explosives, but they were buried underground. Now it's twenty tons, in mid-air, and there are
A large number of artillery shell casings.
Several defensive barriers had already been raised in Qixia Kingdom, and Zhao Donghe and others rushed into the barriers almost grabbing the tail of the explosion.
The violent explosion caused the entire sky to wrinkle, and there were mixed ripples everywhere.
On the ground directly below the explosion, strong winds suddenly arose, flying sand and rocks. The rocks on the earth were crushed and then uncovered layer by layer. The rolling sand and strong wind spread in all directions like the rewinding waves.
The sky rumbled, and after the brilliant flames, a ferocious, black-red, billowing cloud rolled and rose, gradually taking on the shape of a twisted mushroom cloud.
Mushroom clouds are the result of high temperatures rising and cooling and deceleration after rising. As long as the energy is strong enough, mushroom clouds can be formed.
But one thing is, no matter what method is used to form the mushroom cloud, it represents death!
The soldiers on the Qixia Kingdom side were also a little panicked. The rolling sand was more than 100 meters high and spread nearly 2,000 meters, rushing towards them like a city wall.
But before the storm came, the first layer of defensive barrier was trembling under the shock wave. It could not hold on for more than a few breaths before it gradually broke down. The magic weapons placed on the ground were uprooted due to the loosening of the ground.
Compared with the hurried preparations of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the Kingdom of Qixia is fully prepared. The first three layers of defensive barriers are completely arranged with magic weapons.
The first two layers of defensive barriers were shattered one after another, and the storm came violently.
Some shrapnel penetrated the layers of defensive barriers, causing some extra panic to the Qixia Kingdom.
Liu Xinyu, Zhang Hao and others stood motionless on the top of the mountain, quietly watching the 'soil storm' rolling in. The shock waves, loud noises, infrasound waves, and the trembling of the earth made Zhang Hao feel as if he was standing on
On the wave. But Zhang Hao was smiling and quietly watching the smoke billowing in the sky.
This is the power of industry and Zhang Hao’s power!
Liu Xinyu also watched quietly. After about half a minute, Liu Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The aftermath of the explosion began to weaken, and the last layer of defensive barrier on the Qixia Kingdom was almost unable to hold up.
The soil began to fall, and the smoke from the sky began to dissipate. Some broken bodies fell from the sky, and even broken war instruments rolled and hit the ground.
Liu Xinyu suddenly ordered: "Artillery attack, target 5 kilometers. Experts will bypass the artillery on both sides and attack the enemy. Try your best to capture the prince of Jinyang Kingdom and his party!"
Army, attack!"
The crazy explosions and the artillery shells that could penetrate the defensive barrier had already frightened the Jinyang Army. The rout had begun.
Although Sima Zhen was angry, he still reluctantly gathered more than 3,000 elite troops to retreat, and then asked the prince and his party to retreat quickly. Now was not the time to hesitate. Sima Zhen sent the prince away almost in a reprimanding tone, while he led a few elite troops to retreat, and
Try your best to gather the army.
Now Sima Zhen no longer expects victory. He just wants to bring back the elite of the 100,000-strong army who came this time. As for the prisoners exchanged this time, he feels - he can no longer take them back!
Suddenly, a bloody figure rushed in front of Sima Zhen. Almost no intact flesh could be seen on this person's body, but through the torn clothes and decorations, his body shape, and the aura of his soul, Sima Zhen still recognized it - this was
Diao Deshan!
Diao Deshan actually rushed out of the explosion just now. But his condition was also very bad. Not only was his body covered in blood and flesh, but it was also filled with shrapnel.
Sima Zhen immediately gave Diao Deshan a large amount of pills, and then asked the guards to carry Diao Deshan on their backs and run away quickly.
Before leaving, Diao Deshan shouted weakly but angrily: "Kill all the remaining tens of thousands of prisoners in Qixia Kingdom, kill them all, kill them all!"
Sima Zhen nodded, but after Diao Deshan left, Sima Zhen did not do that - if he really wanted to kill all these prisoners, who knows what the country of Qixia could do.
But Sima Zhen let the prisoners from the Qixia Kingdom stand in front of the army. Using this method, he finally gave the army a chance to breathe.
Sima Zhen's military talent finally came into play, and some of the troops restored order and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
But Master Zhang Hao saw Sima Zhen at a glance and called out to three new 300mm caliber artillery: "See that person? Fire over there. If you can kill this person, the Kingdom of Jinyang will
The hundreds of thousands of troops on the border will be paralyzed."
"I'm coming!" Feng Zhiling suddenly jumped out. Senior Brother Feng's hands had been itching for a long time.
"Don't make trouble!" Dugu Junjie pulled Feng Zhiling aside. What happened to the Nascent Soul Stage? He stood there.
Feng Zhiling became angry and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll beat you up?"
Zhang Hao sighed and hurriedly stepped forward to break up the fight: "Senior brother, you can fire the cannon if you want, but one cannon is worth ten kilograms of black iron specially used for alchemy. If senior brother doesn't mind, you can pay first and fire the cannon later, and you can play as you like.
"
"Uh..." Feng Zhiling suddenly covered his storage ring and backed away cautiously, "Don't ever get the food I ate again!"
Zhang Hao:......
Dugu Junjie curled his lips and continued to direct the artillery attack.
Three oversized armor-piercing shells hit Sima Zhen in waves; five waves, 15 extra-large artillery shells, were hit in one minute.
Thanks to the ability of cultivators, the firing speed of artillery has increased a lot. Even Sima Zhen suffered a lot. He kept dodging, and the masters from Qixia Kingdom in the sky also pressed over. Jinyang Kingdom reluctantly organized a few
An army collapsed again.
The big explosion just now caused heavy casualties to the masters of the Kingdom of Jinyang, and they were unable to deal with the masters of the Kingdom of Qixia. It was completely hopeless now.
Unable to do so, Sima Zhen could only retreat in embarrassment with a few masters. As for the army... he couldn't care anymore!
The battle gradually came to an end. The masters of the Qixia Kingdom returned after chasing for dozens of kilometers. The Jinyang Kingdom was not stupid after all. Most of the senior officials and many elites ran away; but not many ran away.
, the total number does not exceed 3,000 people.
The more than 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of prisoners brought by the Kingdom of Jinyang this time were all swallowed up by the Kingdom of Qixia. All the captives have been sealed, and what awaits them will be 'voluntary labor'.
Also, the baggage seized and the elixirs extorted previously are all a huge number.
Liu Xinyu stood on the hill, the corners of her mouth slowly raised, and suddenly turned to ask Zhang Hao next to her: "Zhang Hao, what do you think we should do next?"
Zhang Hao said without hesitation: "In order to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down the inside! Jiuyang Sect!"
Liu Xinyu nodded slowly, with approval in his eyes: "This is a big defeat, and the Kingdom of Jinyang will not be able to recover for at least ten days. It is just a good opportunity to deal with the Jiuyang Sect.
After the order was sent, Wu Fanghai continued to garrison the border of Guangling County and build a defensive line, while Jianwu County and Wuyang County in the north gave up.
Gu Xingdong continued to garrison Huaishan Pass and was ready to attack.
Yu Tiegan, Minister of the Ministry of War, take 10,000 ordinary soldiers, take the newly redeemed warriors from Qixia Kingdom, and escort all the prisoners to retreat. The prisoners are all arranged... all arranged to mine in Ninghe County! Support Ninghe
The development of black iron industry in the county.
The rest of the army will be put in charge of Su Jianzhong and advance towards Jiuyang Sect."
The army turned around without hesitation. Liu Xinyu's thunderous and resolute character made Jiuyang Sect unable to guard against it. Only after the army arrived at Jiuyang Sect did everyone in Jiuyang Sect react.
In other words, the Jiuyang Sect, which has been arrogant for thousands of years, never thought that Liu Xinyu would have such courage.
Qing Hongzi, the great elder of Jiuyang Sect, appeared angrily and scolded Liu Xinyu: "Little girl, do you want to be the enemy of Jiuyang Sect?"
Liu Xinyu smiled, full of ridicule: "This is... so ridiculous! This is the most ridiculous joke I have ever heard!"
In the void, a figure slowly emerged, it was the Supreme Emperor Liu Dingshan.
Seeing Liu Dingshan appear, Qing Hongzi snorted coldly: "Liu Dingshan, Jiuyang Sect has not taken action yet, we are just trying to protect ourselves. You have to think about it, once a war starts, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Liu Dingshan said calmly: "What consequences? What other consequences can there be! Anyway, my son is dead, my grandson is also dead, and only a granddaughter is left. What other consequences can you think of!"
The light words contained boundless anger and murderous intent.
Liu Xinyu didn't talk nonsense at all. Time is limited and cannot be wasted. After Liu Dingshan finished speaking, Liu Xinyu gave the order with a stern face: "Bombard the Jiuyang Sect! Cover with artillery and experts, and the explosives team will bury the explosives!
Today, I will erase the mountain gate of Jiuyang Sect from the map!"
