Chapter 485
As the firelight rose on the city wall, a white Qi suddenly rose above Little Wei Yuan's head.
The original war plan in Human Fireworks was completely overturned by this explosion, and began to be deduced from the beginning. All immortal plant nodes were activated, and the troops serving as the third and fourth tiers of reserves were pulled back to the camp and began to sleep on the spot.
Before the new plan was generated, everything could only rely on oneself.
At this time, the defenders of the city were all elite troops, and the officers were used to seeing their own side bombard the opponent, and it was the first time they were bombarded by the opponent. However, they reacted quickly and let the soldiers find cover on the spot.
Bao Yun also reacted extremely quickly and immediately ordered the heavy-armored infantry to carry giant shields and climb the city. The heavy-armored infantry braved the impact of the explosion and the flames to climb the city wall, and then each person covered an archer, holding the heavy shield above their heads to block the explosive arrows falling from the sky. They were all extremely robust, and even if the explosive arrows exploded directly on the shield surface, half of them could forcibly hold on.
Little Wei Yuan's figure flashed, and he had already appeared on the city wall, waving a water curtain of dozens of zhang to block the incoming explosive arrows. The heavy arrows shot into the water curtain like falling into a mud swamp and exploded one after another. Little Wei Yuan's figure constantly flickered, waving pieces of water curtain, blocking half of the explosive arrows by his own strength, and the pressure on the defenders was greatly reduced.
The Dao Foundation officers followed suit, using various defensive Dao techniques to intercept. Little Wei Yuan casually took a Shaman explosive arrow, wiped away the magic power of the detonation, and then took it apart to look. The small barrel on the arrow body was filled with black gunpowder, about three jin.
Little Wei Yuan took seven or eight more explosive arrows, wiped away the detonation magic power, and put them into his storage magic treasure.
Little Wei Yuan personally took action, which finally stabilized the situation. But at this time, the Shaman vanguard had already rushed to a hundred zhang away, beginning to sprint and accelerate.
The short-barreled cannons on the city wall roared again, but the cannon fire was much sparser. Many short-barreled cannons had been blown up just now, and the gunners were also mostly injured.
The fighting will of the defenders on the city wall was still firm, and they kept shooting. The Shaman soldiers in the front row kept falling in the barrage of bullets, but they were clearly more resistant to beating than before. Little Wei Yuan discovered that many Shaman soldiers would only fall to the ground after being hit by two or three bullets.
After adopting the new gunpowder, the design power of the Azure Void firearm was to be able to kill a Shaman infantryman with one shot. Could it be that the Shaman tribe that came this time were all elites? But their body shapes didn't look like it.
At this time, there was no time to think, and Little Wei Yuan immediately deployed 20 Dao Foundation warriors all over the city wall, and they swept with flying sword guns, which barely suppressed the Shaman tribe's momentum of charging.
Taking advantage of the time Little Wei Yuan won back, Bao Yun immediately sent the second batch of troops to climb the city to reinforce, and at the same time withdrew the wounded soldiers on the city wall and sent them to the medical center in the rear. The damaged short-barreled cannons were pushed directly off the city wall to make room for the newly transported cannons.
The Shaman vanguard finally rushed to the foot of the city and began to climb. The directional flying sword mines added to the city wall were triggered, and hundreds of dense flying swords instantly roared toward the Shaman tribe attacking the city below, creating gaps in their army formation.
The third wave of heavy-armored sword and shield soldiers dispatched by Bao Yun just climbed the city wall at this time, and began to fight with the Shaman soldiers who had climbed the city wall. And under their cover, the archers on the city wall still desperately shot at the Shaman tribe below the city, harvesting their lives.
After close-range fighting, Little Wei Yuan confirmed again that these were ordinary Shaman soldiers, but their physical defense had been greatly enhanced, and compared to the past, they were simply two different types of troops. Fortunately, these Shaman tribes had increased defense, but they had also become somewhat clumsy, and their strength was still the same as in the past.
Although the Shaman soldiers were ferocious, they were no match for these heavy-armored infantry in the Body Forging Realm sent by Bao Yun, and in the blink of an eye, they were killed and scattered, and it looked like they were about to be driven off the city.
But at this time, Little Wei Yuan's face had already begun to darken.
On the city wall, an Azure Void soldier rushed out of the city tower and hit a Shaman soldier at close range.
That Shaman's body had an extra blood hole, but it was not shot through; it hugged a human beside it and dragged him to roll down the city wall together, and in an instant, that human soldier disappeared into the Shaman ocean.
In the City Master's Mansion, Bao Yun kept ordering: "The 9th and 10th battalions of the front army climb the city! After climbing the city, withdraw the seriously wounded."
But what rushed out from the shelters in the city were not the elite 9th and 10th battalions, but 2,000 ordinary soldiers, half of whom had not even reached the Blood Merging Realm.
These two battalions were not the elite front army or middle army, nor were they the standing left army or right army, but the most ordinary troops, both military and agricultural, without special battalion numbers. These two battalions of soldiers were dispatched, and it was simply not an order given by Bao Yun.
A look of surprise and confusion flashed across Bao Yun's face, but in the blink of an eye, she understood something. The generals looked at the two Dao Foundation warriors who had been silent all along, and they also understood that this was Little Wei Yuan beginning to intervene in the command.
Two more battalions of ordinary soldiers rushed out of the city, totaling 4,000, rushing toward the city wall in the midst of the fierce battle. Once ordinary troops were used, it meant that the "Moment of All Living Beings" was to be activated. Now the battle had just begun, and the pressure was already to this extent?
In the Shaman army, thousands of archers kept volleying explosive arrows, most of them shooting at the city wall, and some shooting into the city. Little Wei Yuan also couldn't care about the arrows shooting into the city and could only intercept the explosive arrows falling toward the city wall as much as possible. At this time, 4,000 ordinary soldiers climbed the city, Little Wei Yuan activated the "Moment of All Living Beings," an invisible force descended from the sky, all the soldiers' strength suddenly skyrocketed, and a large number of Dao Foundation soldiers suddenly appeared.
The Shaman soldiers on the city were killed clean in the blink of an eye, and then the defenders began to desperately pour a barrage of bullets at the Shaman army gathered below, and the remaining few short-barreled cannons showed great power, almost one shot could take away a hundred enemies.
A strange horn suddenly sounded in the Shaman army, and the Shaman soldiers on the front line retreated like a tide, retreating two li in one breath, and then presented a scattered formation, shielding with shields, and remained motionless.
Little Wei Yuan frowned tightly; this was to wait for the "Moment of All Living Beings" to pass!
The short-barreled cannons were still bombarding constantly, but at this time, the Shaman army formation was relatively scattered, and one shot could only take away twenty or thirty.
The Shaman giant beasts began to throw leather balls filled with black water again, and at the same time, the archers continuously shot explosive arrows. The Blood Curse in the air also did not stop.
Little Wei Yuan had to close the "Moment of All Living Beings," and then the Shaman tribe attacked the city again.
And this time, another giant beast appeared in the Shaman army formation; it was fully two zhang tall, like a small building, supporting its body with eight short legs, like an ancient giant crocodile. Its body was covered with small armored beasts the size of a tabletop, and each armored beast was covered with copper-colored scales.
The giant beast was very fast, running like a moving small mountain, and the Shaman soldiers on the road who couldn't dodge in time were either knocked away or trampled to death.
Little Wei Yuan immediately ordered the frontline to concentrate on attacking this giant beast, but the bullets hit the small armored beasts, and nearly half were directly bounced off, and those that could pierce the scales could only leave a bloody wound. Those small armored beasts seemed to not know pain at all, and still clung to it motionless.
On the side of the city tower, a short-barreled cannon turned its muzzle and aimed at this giant beast. With a loud bang, several small armored beasts were blown away, finally leaving a wound on the giant beast.
Reading the original text!
As the giant beast continued to rush forward, various Dao techniques fell on it. But the small armored beasts had extremely strong resistance to the Five Elements Dao techniques, and the Dao Foundation Dao techniques could almost not kill them. Little Wei Yuan deployed four Dao Foundation warriors on the city tower to cast Water Blade techniques, but each only cut open a small armored beast, and the giant beast had already rushed to the foot of the city.
With a loud bang, the giant beast slammed into the city tower, and the short and wide city tower shook violently. A feeling of extreme heat suddenly appeared in the giant beast's body, and even Little Wei Yuan felt danger in an instant, retreating while pulling away more than a dozen Dao Foundation officers, and ordered all other officers on the city tower to escape.
A huge, scorching fireball appeared, even larger than the entire city tower. It rose slowly, first appearing a circle of cloud rings, then the color of the fireball constantly changed during the ascent, from red to black, from black to gray, then excited a circle of cloud rings, and finally turned into a cloud like a mushroom.
The fireball was like a rising blood-colored sun, and under its reflection, the city tower disintegrated, countless tiny human figures were thrown into mid-air, and many figures were flying away to escape.
But at the moment when the world was silent, their movements were incomparably slow, much slower than the rising fireball. Suddenly, they were as if they had been pushed hard, suddenly accelerating, and some directly hit the ground or the wall, exploding into a piece of blood and filth!
As the fireball disappeared and turned into a huge mushroom cloud, the original city tower was left with only a section of ruins on the ground, the city walls at both ends collapsed for more than ten zhang, and all the human and Shaman soldiers within dozens of zhang disappeared, leaving only a shallow pit of a hundred zhang in size on the ground.
Little Wei Yuan's face was livid; the giant beast was actually filled with gunpowder!
No wonder there was no magic power fluctuation, and the aura was not strong. Little Wei Yuan originally thought it was a disguise, but he didn't expect it was really not a high-level war beast, just responsible for moving the gunpowder to the foot of the city. Those armored beasts were specialized defensive war beasts, clearly not knowing fear or pain.
The Shaman tribe's methods were extremely ruthless; in order not to let the defenders on the city escape, they did not stop attacking the city. So this explosion of the giant beast not only killed thousands of human defenders but also caused tens of thousands of Shaman tribes to be buried with them.
At this point, a huge gap nearly thirty zhang wide had appeared on the front of Ding'an City, and the subsequent Shaman soldiers rushed toward the gap like a tide.
At this point in the war, Little Wei Yuan could no longer hold back, ordering all the soldiers in the city to move out and set up a formation behind the gap, and then pull the spare short-barreled cannons onto the roof to bombard the gap.
The Dragon Wing heavy cavalry outside the city moved out, Little Wei Yuan flew over to join them, and began to attack the Shaman army's flank.
Dozens of long cylinders were suddenly shot from the rear of Ding'an City. The cylinders were slender, the front end was sharpened, the tail was constantly spraying fire, and the speed was extremely fast, falling toward the Shaman middle army!
These cylinders were too fast, and the Great Shamans were caught off guard for a while, not intercepting many, most of them falling into the middle army, and then there was a violent explosion! As fireballs rose one after another, although there was no mushroom cloud, they turned the surrounding dozens of zhang area into a dead zone!
Each of these cylinders was filled with hundreds of jin of gunpowder, and the power of the Azure Void's new gunpowder was three times that of black gunpowder, and the power after the explosion was extremely great. Within fifty zhang, ordinary Shaman soldiers without cover would be shocked to death even if they were not killed by fragments. Within a hundred zhang, there was a possibility of serious injury.
These cylinders were all guided by the cultivators' spiritual sense, and the landing points were all in the dense area of archers, so one round of bombing took away nearly two hundred Shaman archers.
There were also a dozen or so flying toward the rear altar, and seeing that they encountered countless Shaman techniques, the first few suddenly exploded in mid-air, and the terrifying power dispersed the Shaman techniques, allowing the subsequent cylinders to break through and continue flying forward. In the end, three landed on the altar, blowing the entire altar down; except for three Great Shamans who escaped, the remaining hundred Shaman scholars, hundreds of nobles, and thousands of guards and servants were all reincarnated.
