Chapter 192: Bombing the city, breaking the pass! (6K)

"General Pang, please get up quickly." Zhao Xing jumped twice and helped Pang Guangyao up, "With General’s help, I have a million troops."

Pang Guangyao listened to these words, and felt warm in his heart.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being an Heir-apparent of a big family, his words are so pleasant.

Unlike those princes of the Royal Court, each one is arrogant, looking at people with nostrils.

"Sinful General is ashamed, cannot afford the praise of the Heir-apparent," Pang Guangyao bowed, "I am just a mountain patrol envoy, not in a high position."

"The Heir-apparent sent someone to send a letter earlier, fearing that I could not help the Heir-apparent, and instead ruined your big event, so I delayed replying to the letter, please forgive me."

Zhao Xing didn't know what Xia Jing said to Pang Guangyao, but he could still draw cakes: "You have been wronged, General."

"A dignified sixth-rank expert, actually sent to this place to suffer, the Royal Court is simply blind!"

"However, General Pang has now surrendered to my Great Zhou, then he is a person of Great Zhou, the previous suffering and grievances will become the past!"

"I, Xia Jing, swear by the glory of the family, the previous promises, after taking the majestic pass, will be fulfilled one by one!"

"The grievances the General suffered in the Royal Court will not be repeated in the Great Zhou!"

"After taking the territory of the Fire Demon Clan, I can even let the General serve in his hometown, and will never let the General suffer any grievances!"

"If I violate this oath, I, Xia Jing, am not worthy of being a human son!"

Pang Guangyao was also used to being suppressed by the Royal Court, and now surrendering, hearing such a promise from an Heir-apparent with weight, he was moved to tears.

Swearing by the glory of the family, how much does he value Pang Guangyao?!

Immediately, he knelt down again with a plop.

"Pang Guangyao, willing to work for the Heir-apparent!"

The cake was drawn, and it had to be practical.

Zhao Xing gave Long Xiao and Chen Shijie a wink: "General Pang, you will first be a partial general in this mixed vanguard battalion, follow the brave captain under my command, and after the Fire Dragon Pass, I will ask the Military Realm to officially promote you."

"The end general obeys the order." Pang Guangyao immediately hugged his fist and took the order, he also knew that he was temporarily coming to surrender this time.

'Xia Jing' naturally couldn't have prepared any documents, appointments, etc.

Looking at the configuration next to 'Xia Jing' again, it is worthy of being a little Marquis of Great Zhou, with a seventh-rank sword cultivator accompanying, a sixth-rank military Agricultural Official accompanying, and a battle pet with strong bloodline.

He is a temporary surrender, and it is not bad to be a partial general, and things later will be discussed after making achievements.

In Zhiyou City, the east gate military camp where the Black Armor Army is stationed.

"Achoo~"

Xia Jing rubbed his nose, somewhat strangely putting down the military book in his hand.

"I have practiced to perfection, why did I suddenly sneeze?"

"Yuan Yang, Yuan Yang!"

Yuan Yang, this military doctor, is from the Black Armor Army, and there are many geniuses from the Ten Suns Grotto-Heaven around Xia Jing, and Yuan Yang is one of them.

"General, what’s the matter?" Before long, Yuan Yang replied outside the camp. Since Xia Jing conquered the hearts of the camps of the Black Armor Army, on formal occasions, Yuan Yang also changed his address to General Xia Jing.

"You come in and take a look for me, whether my body has any problems. The great battle is imminent, and there can be no hidden dangers," Xia Jing said.

"Yes." Yuan Yang then pushed open the camp, entered inside.

After coming in, after looking, listening, asking, and cutting, and checking Xia Jing after taking off his battle armor, Yuan Yang fell into thought.

"How is it?"

"No problem, your five elements of energy are still balanced, but the kidney fire is slightly prosperous," Yuan Yang shook his head, "You feel induction, it may also be caused by the tension before the battle."

Xia Jing heard this, and felt relieved: "That’s good."

Fighting Fire Dragon Pass, it is false to say that there is no tension at all.

Although Zhao Xing prepared fire-avoiding magic robes to cross the mountain, and he had a spy as an internal response, Fire Dragon Pass had never been broken before, and the name was there.

Xia Jing brought several camps to the east, and it was also a risky approach to act away from the main force of the Black Armor Army in the north.

Following the main force in the north, not to mention smooth sailing, at least there will be no big defeat.

But here, maybe you will lose the battle.

Yuan Yang urged Xia Jing to rest more and left the camp.

Xia Jing couldn't sleep at all.

"Tomorrow we will climb the Flame Mountain, and the day after tomorrow we will start attacking the city, I don't know how many people Ye Chongxian persuaded to surrender."

On September 14th, the Black Armor Army, Shenwei Army, and Zhenhai Army gathered in the military hall to discuss matters, mainly to distribute combat tasks.

Fire Dragon Pass stretches for thirty miles, enough for the army to set up a formation.

On the Shenwei Army side, it is mainly the two armies of Wen Shaoyang and Liao Rulong, totaling more than 70,000 people.

The Black Armor Army only has more than 15,000 people led by Xia Jing.

The more than 30,000 people led by Jiang Ming of the Zhenhai Army.

There are also fifteen armies of various sizes, but these armies have relatively few people, with more than 4,000 or 5,000, and fewer than 2,000 or 3,000. Most of the leaders are only seventh-rank, coming to the east, purely because they can't get the front combat sequence in the original army, so they want to try their luck here.

The Shenwei Army wants to break Fire Dragon Pass, meet with the Divine Thunder Army in the west, fight the Qinggang mining area together, and want to share a piece of meat behind others.

These fifteen partial armies, totaling 40,000 or 50,000 people. They also hold the same idea, they just want to mix a soup behind the Shenwei Army that has risen recently.

Among the three main armies, under Wen Shaoyang, there is a characteristic camp, the 'Great Halberd Camp.'

The characteristic camp under Liao Rulong is the Five Elements Camp. As for the Divine Machine Camp, Ninth Section Camp, etc., they are all conventional configurations, everyone has them.

However, since Zhao Xing was added, the Ninth Section Camp, which was originally Chen Shijie, also became a characteristic of the Liao Rulong department.

Under Xia Jing, there is a 2,000-person Black Armor Dragon Cavalry, because the Black Armor Army has three exotic beast cultivation bases, one of which is on Yalong Island in Pinghai Prefecture.

This place raises some mixed-race dragon species, and the mounts of the Hujiao Army are also produced from Yalong Island.

The two strong armies of the Ten Suns Grotto-Heaven have both won high rankings in the Military Realm Legion Grand Drill, occupying a place on Yalong Island.

Being able to ride a dragon is the foundation of a strong army.

So although Xia Jing only brought more than 15,000 people, he also had sixth-rank Agricultural Officials and priests to assist, and 2,000 dragon-blood exotic beasts, which can be said to be the strongest strength.

The Liao Rulong department and Wen Shaoyang department of the Shenwei Army combined can suppress him.

The characteristic of Jiang Ming of the Zhenhai Army is warships.

Great Zhou’s warships usually refer to air warships, and the quantity is generally relatively small.

Fifth-tier can be called warships, and flying boats are below fifth-tier.

The scale of warships means the scale of the 'Divine Machine Camp,' because the carrying capacity of siege equipment depends on how many warships there are.

Zhenhai Marquis Lan Hongming tried his best to let the two armies of the Zhenhai Army go ashore.

Li Que’s branch is plain.

But Jiang Ming carried a whole warship camp!

Because he increased the bet immediately after knowing that Zhao Xing had created the Earth Fire Lotus as a fire-avoiding magic robe.

Added a lot of warships and flying boats to Jiang Ming!

Just fifth-tier warships are 120!

Flying boats are over 5,000!

Only the Zhenhai Army can call warships a 'camp,' and the warships and flying boats of the Black Armor Army and Shenwei Army combined are not as many as the Zhenhai Army.

In addition, for other armies, warships are used for air flight.

But because Jiang Ming shoulders Lan Hongming’s expectation of making achievements, one-third of the warships transferred are water-air dual-use.

There are even three strange fifth-tier top-grade warships, named 'Five Elements Warships'!

Not only can they be used for water and air, but the warships can even travel underground.

The three Five Elements Warships, the flying boats configured, have many land flying boats, escape flying boats.

Zhao Xing agreed to cooperate at the beginning, and Lan Marquis did not let him down. In terms of warships, the Zhenhai Army gave great support.

After the warships were transferred, Jiang Ming’s waist was straightened, his walking brought wind, and his speaking became loud:

"Commandant Liao, my department’s warships can be transferred half out for the brothers of the Shenwei Army and Black Armor Army to use!"

"Our Divine Machine Camp of the Zhenhai Army can control the Five Elements Warships to escape underground and break the underground defense of Fire Dragon Pass."

"The underground aliens north of the pass and south of the pass can also be handed over to our Zhenhai Army to attack!"

"We have nothing else, just many ships!"

"According to the intelligence, my department can at least paralyze the underground defense mechanisms and magic arrays of the twenty miles north and south of Fire Dragon Pass for more than three hours!"

Jiang Ming said loudly: "The brothers on the ground don't have to worry about falling into a pit while fighting, or being overcast by the mechanisms of the Fire Demon Clan."

"Good, good." Liao Rulong bowed and smiled, "Then I will trouble Commandant Jiang."

"With the help of Commandant Jiang’s warship camp, we will definitely be able to take this pass!" Xia Jing also flattered.

The feng shui turns, Jiang Ming has also been upgraded to Commandant Jiang at this moment, not 'that someone.'

No way, the Zhenhai Army only went ashore with two partial armies, unlike the Shenwei Army and Black Armor Army, Xia Jing, Wen Shaoyang, and Liao Rulong departments are only a part of it.

The Shenwei Army and Black Armor Army are not only fighting the Fire Demon Clan territory of the Jin Yu Royal Court, but also have army deployments in other war zones, facing the Holy Spirit Royal Court, Purple Dragon Royal Court, and Flame Light Royal Court.

The Jiang Ming department is the only seedling of the Zhenhai Army on shore. Whether they can make achievements depends on this army. Lan Hongming mobilized resources and bet on this army.

"Tonight our three armies will unite and dispatch a total of 18,000 people to cross the Flame Mountain."

"Respectively seize the south and north of Fire Dragon Pass, a total of four castles, the purpose is to destroy the pass defense array."

"As long as one place is broken, the army outside can attack!" Liao Rulong said, "In order to create conditions for the lurking troops, the three armies will attack at the xu-hour tomorrow!"

"The thunder in the wind layer is the signal!"

Starting from the noon of September 14th, a total of 15,000 people crossed the Flame Mountain. Because Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie had already brought 3,000 people in a day early, it was actually 18,000 people.

Xia Jing brought a team of 4,000 people and crossed from a place in the Flame Mountain called [Guan Shan North].

As for the command of the Black Armor Army, it was temporarily handed over to Assistant Regional Commander Jin Guang.

In the Shenwei Army, Liao Rulong sent Yu Ziqi as the Battalion General, leading 5,000 people to cross the Flame Mountain from [Guan Shan South].

The Wen Shaoyang department sent 'Fei Liangxun', leading 6,000 people to cross from [Fire Pass Tail].

As for the Zhenhai Army, they did not participate in the sneak attack and joined the main force attacking the front of the pass outside the pass.

Time back to the chen-hour of September 14th.

With Pang Guangyao, a leading party, Zhao Xing, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, Gao Jue, Xu Quan, Zhang Ying and others, leading 3,000 people, had already crossed the Fire Dragon Mountain range and quietly arrived at a forest outside the pass.

With the Five Elements Fog Concealment high-tier spell as the cover for the 3,000-person army, they quietly left the patrol area of the Flame Mountain range and arrived at a forest outside a pass city.

"Heir-apparent, ahead is the 'Full Moon City Pass' of Fire Dragon Pass." Pang Guangyao said: "It is one of the array bases of Fire Dragon Pass."

"Twenty miles in radius, there are twenty-one cities of various sizes, but others are just pass defense forts. Only Full Moon City, it is built on the fire vein and is one of the main array bases of the pass defense array of Fire Dragon Pass." "It was destroyed, the pass defense magic array twenty miles south of Fire Dragon Pass, all have to be paralyzed. Even if there is a backup array running, the power will be weakened by more than 60%. Many aliens under the ground will even be suffocated."

"Even if it is rushed to repair, it will take at least four hours."

"And Full Moon City is destroyed, reconstruction will take more than four hours. According to the efficiency of the Fire Demon Clan, it will take three or four months," Pang Guangyao said with a slight sarcasm.

Zhao Xing naturally knew the importance of Full Moon City.

Full Moon City, the whole is a mechanism city!

Why is Fire Dragon Pass called a majestic pass?

Other array bases, such as the Water Clear and Far Array he let Wang Ji engage in Yuncheng, have 81 array bases.

Each array base is about a hundred tons, which can be transported by flying boat, and can be easily lifted by the Dragon Gate Triple Crane, and can be lifted up in the river.

But the array bases of Fire Dragon Pass, the smallest are castles occupying four or five hundred acres.

Not only can they live, but they are also a magic array themselves.

Like Full Moon City, it occupies 100,000 acres!

Such cities, there are 49 in Fire Dragon Pass.

With cities and castles as arrays, they continuously extract the power of fire veins and provide them to the magic array in front of Fire Dragon Pass.

Wanting to take it down is simply impossible, just a fifth-tier 'Fire Dragon Array' cannot be passed.

Think about the scene when they crossed the Flame Mountain, fully prepared, and still be burned to death by the strange ground fire sprayed out unintentionally.

And in Fire Dragon Pass, these ground fires are controllable, and can even form dragon-shaped flames, controlling attacks on enemy troops.

The barbarian troops guarding Fire Dragon Pass, truly counted as combat personnel, are about 30,000 or 40,000, but these 30,000 or 40,000 people guard, as long as there is no problem inside, in the war of the highest sixth rank, it is useless for millions of people to come.

"The city lord of Full Moon City, named 'Badas', is Yue Haisheng’s nephew." Pang Guangyao continued to introduce, "It’s just a Heavenly Gang early stage."

"No other sixth rank?" Chen Shijie asked.

"No." Pang Guangyao shook his head, "The Earth Evil perfection has two or three hundred people, all of them are Basida’s guards."

"This configuration sounds a bit unreasonable." Long Xiao said, "Such a heavy city, how can there be only one sixth rank?"

"Because he is Yue Haisheng’s nephew, one more sixth rank, this benefit is not enough for his nephew to share." Pang Guangyao mocked, "Earth Fire Lotuses in the lava cave, fire crystals in the Guan Shan mining area, heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Full Moon forest area, which one is not a treasure land? Leave oil when passing through!"

Chen Shijie shook his head, Pang Guangyao, such a powerful Heavenly Gang Realm, can only be sent here to be a mountain patrol envoy. And Basida, such a Heavenly Gang early stage, guards Full Moon City.

Using people like this, no matter how majestic the pass is, there will be a day of breaking sooner or later.

"Whether it is Basida or others, there is no difference." Zhao Xing smiled, "If Fire Dragon Pass can't stop it, another hundred Basidas will have the same effect."

"General Pang, do you have any feelings for this Basida?"

Pang Guangyao shook his head: "He and his uncle have humiliated me many times, I wish I could eat... cut him."

Zhao Xing said: "After breaking the city, he will be handed over to you to deal with, but you are now a general of my Great Zhou, do you understand what I mean."

"The end general understands." Pang Guangyao nodded, he is not really wanting to eat people.

"How long will it take to change clothes?" Zhao Xing asked Old Chen again.

After crossing the Flame Mountain, naturally, you can't wear fire-avoiding magic robes to fight. The main role of the magic robe is to avoid fire. In other aspects, it is average and cannot withstand a few cuts of fourth-tier divine weapons.

The fire-avoiding magic robes were all made one size larger, mainly for wearing armor inside, and some baggage was brought by them.

For example, the Agricultural Official’s bamboo box, and a small part of the siege weapons, were dismantled into parts and placed in vehicles made of Earth Fire Lotuses.

"Changed long ago." Chen Shijie said, "Now the soldiers are resting."

"How much time do we have?" Long Xiao asked.

Zhao Xing took out the almanac and looked: "It’s less than the mao-hour now, and there are two and a half days left before the agreed time to seize the pass."

This Liao Rulong is very cunning, he let the Shenwei Army’s 3,000 people come over first, just to have enough time to prepare.

Zhao Xing and they have already come over, Xia Jing and they haven't set off yet.

Waiting for them to come over, it is already tomorrow.

The army fighting outside the pass and sending signals must be the night after tomorrow.

So Zhao Xing’s team has enough time to prepare.

If it goes well, after finishing Full Moon City, they can free up their hands to fight elsewhere.

Do more things, and get more military merit.

"Let the two teams of Agricultural Officials take turns farming, remember, don't make too much noise." Chen Shijie ordered.

Although there is fog concealment interference, to be on the safe side, he still let the military Agricultural Officials in the vanguard battalion collect a little bit of planting.

Free up time, one is to let the soldiers rest more fully, and the other is to prepare for the Agricultural Officials.

Prepare what? Siege equipment materials can be planted, food can be planted, and even weapon materials can be planted, too many, too many.

They are stuck between Full Moon City and the Flame Mountain range, the environment is not too harsh, at least they can plant some fire-attribute food.

Zhao Xing naturally started planting, he knows the high-tier methods of the Benwo School, at this time, he is the main auxiliary source for the 3,000 people in the vanguard battalion, whether it is food or tools, high-end materials are mainly provided by him.

The ground fire is vigorous, the most suitable to plant, of course, is firecrackers.

Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie each carried a box, peeled off the Earth Fire Lotus leaves on the outside of the box, and took out firecracker seedlings from it.

"How many are still alive?" Chen Shijie asked.

"I still have 50% alive here, what about you?"

"I have about the same in this box," Chen Shijie said, "Fifth-tier firecracker seedlings, carrying them across the Flame Mountain, it’s not bad to have 50% alive."

People died dozens, not to mention seedlings.

But more than half are still alive, which is very good.

Planting fifth-tier firecrackers has many benefits.

Old Chen knows escape methods, Zhao Xing also knows escape methods, among the 3,000 people, there are many sorcerers in the Five Elements Camp.

At least a hundred people know escape methods.

Full Moon City is not outside the pass, the Fire Demon Clan people have to go in and out, and there are people living in it.

Naturally, it is impossible to be like outside the pass, with people guarding dozens of miles underground, and lethal magic arrays and mechanisms.

The interior of the majestic pass is always very fragile, and sneaking over will be very simple.

As long as there are enough firecrackers, burying some in Full Moon City, without doing it yourself, the firecrackers are enough to send Basida to heaven.

"Start!"

Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie each led a team of Agricultural Officials and started planting fifth-tier firecrackers in the forest.

Because the firecrackers are already fifth-tier.

So there is no need to cast Instant Origin.

Instead, spells like Wilderness Condensation Method and Wild Growth are more suitable for cultivation.

The Heavenly Time Method is forbidden, because Zhao Xing has already cast Five Elements Fog Concealment, hiding this forest area, if other Agricultural Officials cast the Heavenly Time Method, they might be discovered.

The Earthly Benefit Method can be used, Earth Hidden Return Origin and Earth Palace Method are all used, one is used to gather vital energy, and the other is used to adjust the intensity of the fire vein.

"Chi chi chi~"

The firecrackers grew at an amazing speed, and soon a bamboo forest grew out.

Waiting to enter the growth period.

Zhao Xing immediately cast two other spells.

"Hundred-Mile Analysis Technique!"

Compared with Instant Origin, the mid-tier Hundred-Mile Analysis Technique only makes the firecrackers grow better, but does not break the original rank.

"Nine Dragons Folding Method!"

Immediately after, Zhao Xing cast another Benwo spell.

The branches of the firecrackers fell off rapidly, and the top four sections of all firecrackers withered and cracked.

Its nutrients poured back, pouring into the bamboo sections below.

The fiery red bamboo forest suddenly became bare.

"Benwo School’s small four methods, you have learned them all?" Chen Shijie watched from not far away, he was still waiting for the time to mature, and Zhao Xing had already matured a batch here.

"Well, if you want to learn, learn a basket, the spells of the Benwo School are complementary," Zhao Xing said casually.

"..." Chen Shijie didn't know what to say.

Who doesn't know they are complementary?

The problem is to have the energy and talent to learn!

He saw Zhao Xing’s Benwo School four methods, all of which were mid-tier perfection.

In addition, there is a high-tier method Instant Origin.

"What kind of monster did I bring out from Gucheng." Chen Shijie suspected that Gucheng was made into some kind of blessed land by Cao Xi.

Pang Guangyao also looked very puzzled, isn't it said that the Heir-apparent is a warrior? How can he still farm?

Farming, shouldn't this be the work of the Agricultural Officials of Great Zhou? In the south, only sorcerers will do this kind of work!

Is this person really the Heir-apparent Xia Jing?

Pang Guangyao vaguely felt that he got on the wrong car.

Worshipped the wrong person.

However, at this time, he was next to Long Xiao and the mountain cat, and even if he had doubts, he didn't dare to ask more.

He had already killed a mountain patrol envoy and completely got on the thief ship of the Great Zhou. Even if he wanted to get off the ship at this time, it was impossible.

Just wait for Fire Dragon Pass to be taken down.

Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Today is the day agreed upon for the three armies to attack the city and break the pass.

"Time is almost up, right?" Chen Shijie stood on the top of a big tree, looking at the wind layer. "It’s still an hour away from the xu-hour, but it’s almost there, we are in the south section of the pass, calculate the time, it should have started outside."

"I think so too." Zhao Xing grinned: "Since that’s the case, let’s prepare to bomb the city! Send Basida to heaven!"

"I think so too." Zhao Xing bared his white teeth: "In that case, let's prepare to blow up the city! Send Bastard to the sky!"
