Chapter 649 Are you two having an affair?
The sky was filled with wind and snow, and the flames flickered.
When the more than 100,000 soldiers crowded around the Immortal Pond looked up and saw dense black spots appearing in the night sky and gradually getting bigger, no one realized the seriousness of the problem.
They just thought that these were some huge rocks, so they quickly gathered into a formation and prepared to work together to fight against these falling rocks from the sky.
Although the internal energy of lower-third-grade warriors cannot be released externally, it can be added to weapons to unleash power far exceeding that of ordinary people.
And after simple practice, you can even use the formation to achieve the effect of "tricks forming a river".
“Zheng!”
“Zheng Zheng Zheng!!”
In an instant, the sound of golden swords resounded through the valley. Countless shields were raised high and stacked like dragon scales, forming shield walls that flashed gray light.
These shield walls are so strong that they can even withstand a full-force attack from a fourth-grade realm without breaking, let alone a mere falling rock.
From discovering the enemy attack, to arranging a counterattack, to forming a defensive formation, it has to be said that the quality of this vanguard army is indeed very high and their response speed is indeed very fast.
However, this time, they were harmed by the battlefield experience.
"Not a stone!"
"It's a barrel!"
Soon, when the five thousand large wooden barrels were only a few dozen feet away from the bottom of the valley, someone finally noticed something was wrong.
After discovering that what the Tengu Army dropped were actually wooden barrels, everyone felt a sense of uneasiness in their hearts, and the gray light of the shield wall instantly became thicker.
Not only did they not disperse, but they gathered even more closely, attempting to increase the defensive power of the shield wall again.
This reaction was almost subconscious.
Everyone crowded together, forming hundreds of large square formations at the bottom of the valley, ready to wait for the barrels to fall.
At this moment, they had no time to think about it, let alone guess what was in the bucket.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at the growing black shadow above their heads, until the Tengu pattern painted on it and the glowing fuse became clearly visible.
fuse?
Is it gunpowder? ?
For a moment, everyone's eyes became confused.
Gunpowder has very weak killing power and is rarely used on the battlefield. At most, it is used as a signal fire.
So the Tengu Army launched a sneak attack late at night just to show themselves a "fireworks show"? "Hahahaha!"
"This Tengu Army was once said to be so powerful, but now it seems nothing special!"
"That's right! I thought they had some powerful tricks!"
“.”
Bursts of laughter rang out in various military formations, filled with disdain.
Although such a large barrel can hold a lot of gunpowder, it can indeed kill many ordinary people.
But facing a warrior, even one of the lower third rank, the effect of this thing is really limited.
Therefore, when the tension in my heart dissipated, all that remained was sarcasm.
However, the ideas of military generals are much more meticulous than those of ordinary soldiers.
Some of them had frowned brows, some looked confused, and some even realized something and opened their mouths as if ready to shout.
However, when huge explosions like landslides sounded one after another, everything was irreversible.
"boom!!!!"
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”
“W-What is this?!”
"ah!!"
“.”
Rounds of "red suns" suddenly appeared at the bottom of the valley, submerging more than a hundred military formations and the gray shield walls in the hot and fierce red light.
The huge explosion hit the mountain wall and refracted, turning into a muffled "rumbling" sound, covering up all the wailing and roaring.
Five thousand barrels of black powder exploded almost at the same time, and the power generated was so great that the entire Tianshan Mountains seemed to tremble slightly.
In just a moment, the fairy pond that had never frozen all year round turned into a hell on earth, with fire burning fiercely and broken limbs and bodies everywhere.
It is still unknown how many people will die in this round of "bombing", but it is expected to be tens of thousands.
As for the "culprit" of all this. Chu Xianping narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though he was more than 200 feet in the air, he could still feel the rolling heat waves beneath him.
He had no intention of staying to count the results of the battle, nor did he intend to admire the tragic scene of the enemy trapped in the sea of fire.
He didn't even look down, but just turned his eagle head and uttered another word.
"Return!"
An hour later, we looked at the South Peak and the Mountain God Temple.
When the "dark clouds" on the horizon rolled in in the wind and snow, and then slowly fell on a large open space in front of the temple, Wei Changtian, who had been waiting for a long time, was the first to greet them.
"Brother Chu, how is it?"
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission."
Chu Xianping nodded slightly, turned over and jumped off the eagle demon.
The five thousand Tengu soldiers behind him immediately got off the monster, formed into small teams and quickly ran into the mountain temple.
Under the cover of "guarding the teleportation array", the mountain temple was actually turned into a transit point for the "bombing mission".
Precisely because the matter of the teleportation array was no longer a secret, this move was able to deceive the enemy's spies who had infiltrated Liangzhou City, so that they never noticed anything was wrong.
As for what these Tengu soldiers are going to do by running into the mountain temple, who says there can't be a "second round of bombing"?
"good!"
On the other side, Wei Changtian patted Chu Xianping's shoulder heavily and said, "You don't need to go the second time, right?"
"Don't worry, sir. I will pay more attention."
Chu Xianping shook his head: "These two surprise attacks are related to the negotiation plan, and there can be no mistakes. If I don't go, I will always be worried."
"Okay, then be careful."
Nodding slightly, Wei Changtian did not persuade him any further. He just cast his gaze towards the Tengu soldier who was walking out not far away with another gunpowder barrel in his arms.
There are a total of eight thousand barrels, five thousand of which have just been exploded, and there are still three thousand left for the second round.
I guess they never thought that they would launch another round. After two rounds, although the black gunpowder weapon was undoubtedly exposed, the results achieved and the strategic significance brought about by it were extraordinary.
According to Chu Xianping's previous estimate, if these 8,000 barrels of black gunpowder were dropped, the other side would suffer at least a hundred thousand casualties.
So it's basically one barrel of gunpowder for ten lower third-rank soldiers.
Wei Changtian didn't know whether the lethality was high or not, but the loss of 100,000 people in one night would definitely make Yan Huaiqing sleepless all night.
By then. Standing side by side with Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian thought about the future while watching the soldiers tie wooden barrels to the monsters, and then carefully cover them with black cloth to protect them from rain and snow.
The departure time for the second round of air strikes was set at 3:30 pm, and there was less than a quarter of an hour left.
Wei Changtian was just about to say something to Chu Xianping, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Li Zimu, who had been following them with a look of wanting to say something but was hesitant.
"What's wrong? What do you want to say?"
Turning his head, Wei Changtian asked casually.
Li Zimu's answer was far beyond his expectations.
"Sir, I want to go with Master Chu to have a look."
"What?"
Wei Changtian was stunned, his face full of surprise: "What are you going to do? Besides, you have never practiced, how can you ride these monsters?"
“I just want to see the battle scene”
Li Zimu lowered his head in embarrassment: "As for how to go, I can just follow any soldier and ride on a monster beast."
“.”
With his brows slightly furrowed, Wei Changtian was just about to scold Li Zimu angrily, "Aren't you going to watch a show?"
However, when he saw Chu Xianping's eyes, the words that were about to come out of his mouth stopped immediately.
Although it seems unlikely, why do these two seem to be a little ambiguous? ? ? "Well, Brother Chu, you can handle this matter."
"I'm tired. I'm going to go back and rest."
"Yes, Sir, take care!"
"Sir, take care."
Chu Xianping and Li Zimu responded one after another, and watched Wei Changtian walk into the mountain temple without looking back.
Then, Li Zimu moved closer to Chu Xianping, lowered his head and whispered:
"Mr. Chu, is it possible?"
"If you must go, then ride on the same beast with me."
Chu Xianping's face turned red. He didn't dare to look at Li Zimu. He just pretended to be calm and replied, "But you must follow my arrangements in everything."
"Uh-huh!"
Li Zimu nodded hurriedly: "I'll listen to you!"
"Well, that's good."
“.”
