Nightwatcher
Chapter 785: Soldiers Approaching the City
When Xu Pingfeng saw the eldest son, he was stunned for a moment. Judging from the appearance alone, he didn't think he would give birth to such a monster, and this was definitely not his blood.
The humanoid creature fighting Baidi has a cluster of delicate flowers on its head, its body is covered with dark cracked bark, its limbs are wrapped around vines, and the vines are covered with tender green leaves.
Where is this person?
It's clearly a dryad!
If it wasn't for the Pagoda of the Buddha floating in the sky, the Sword of Zhen Guo held in his hand, and the mighty power of all beings, Xu Pingfeng would never have believed that the monster in front of him was Xu Qi'an.
Another point is that the breath he reveals has reached the peak of the second rank.
This is the case of putting aside the blessings of the power of all beings. Only the personal breath has reached the peak of the second-rank state, which is almost the same as Asuro.
Of course, the gap between the peak of the second grade and the first grade is still huge, but with the assistance of the Zhenguo Sword, the Pagoda of the Buddha, the power of all beings, and Gu techniques, Xu Qi'an reluctantly "survived" under Baidi's hands.
Xu Pingfeng finally understood why the Tribulation War did not end for a long time.
As the eldest son of the direct line, he is on par with Asuro, Jinlian and Zhao Shou with his own strength, making up for the lack of combat power.
With Wufu's toughness and endurance, even though Jia Luoshu and Baidi overwhelmed their opponents, it was difficult to kill them in a short time.
It's not that they are not strong enough, but a problem with the characteristics of the system.
"Yo, I'm rushing to Chuzhou in a hurry. It seems that the war in Yongzhou is not ideal."
The tree demon Xu Qi'an noticed the puppet's appearance, and looked over with a smile after cutting off the water thunder ball with a sword.
Baidi stopped and looked sideways at Xu Pingfeng.
It is naturally impossible for Jia Luoshu, Asuro and others not to notice that there is an extra bystander.
Just like Xu Pingfeng was eager to know the situation of the war in the northern border, they were also concerned about the situation in the Central Plains battlefield.
Don't beat people to death here, the city has been destroyed and people have died there.
Xu Pingfeng ignored the eldest son's provocation, and said to everyone:
"Yongzhou has been captured, and the Yunzhou army has marched towards the capital at this moment."
The puppet can't speak, it can only transmit sound. In addition, he deliberately chose to transmit voices to everyone, creating psychological pressure on Asuro and others.
A change in mentality will affect the state of responding to the enemy, and for Da Fengfang's Chaofan, a slight mistake may be the difference between life and death.
Gala Tree Bodhisattva breathed out:
"good!"
Baidi grinned, and was very satisfied with the progress of the Yunzhou Army. After laying down the Dafeng, the prisoner must die, and he can successfully refine the gatekeeper's spirit, paving the way for the subsequent catastrophe.
The hearts of Asuro and Daoist Jinlian sank, and it really was the ending they didn't want to see the most.
They immediately noticed that Xu Qi'an and Zhao Shou had relaxed expressions, without any seriousness.
Zhao Shou smiled and said:
"Wei Yuan has come back to life."
Asuro didn't know who Wei Yuan was, and the heaviness in his heart remained undiminished, but Daoist Jin Lian's expression relaxed and he smiled:
"Very good!"
On the battlefield of the Central Plains, where the combat power in the Transcendent Realm was roughly the same, with Wei Yuan in charge of the overall situation and strategizing, it was almost impossible for Dafeng to lose. Although Daoist Jin Lian didn't know what cards Wei Yuan would have, he was extremely confident in Wei Yuan.
The shadow of a famous tree.
When Jia Luoshu heard this, his slightly relaxed expression became serious again.
Asuro kept observing his opponent, caught the emotional changes before and after Gala Tree, and asked with some surprise:
"Who is Wei Yuan?"
He asked Zhao Shou and Taoist Jinlian.
Daoist Jinlian commented:
"He is good at coordinating and leading troops, and he has a good talent for cultivation."
Asuro frowned, and said to himself, that's it?
Zhao Shou added:
"He played chess with the supervisor and never lost."
Asuro was silent for a moment, and smiled slowly:
"very good!"
He dismissed all worries and worries in his heart.
On the other side, Xu Pingfeng looked at the eldest son, and asked Baidi through voice transmission: "What's the situation with him?"
Baidi subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, with greed and longing in his eyes, "He has the spirit of the undead tree in his body. The undead tree is one of the ancient gods and demons. The great turmoil did not really obliterate the undead tree. In comparison, the undead body of the warrior is just a small way in front of the spirit of the undead tree."
Mu Nanzhi is the reincarnation of the flower god, and his spiritual energy lasts forever. From this point of view, the flower god's predecessor was the undead tree. Xu Qi'an and her double cultivated and grabbed the immortal tree's spiritual energy. No wonder he became stronger and stronger. Xu Pingfeng immediately understood The key to that.
The phenomenon of getting stronger and stronger is against common sense, climbing from the early stage of the second rank to the peak of the second rank has also exceeded the scope of explosive potential.
But if Xu Qi'an has the spirit of the undead tree in his body, through his special "intelligence", absorbing and refining it little by little during the battle, it can explain the phenomenon of getting stronger as he fights.
Bai Di laughed and said:
"Don't worry, there is not much spiritual energy left in his body. Except for the undead tree itself, any creature can only absorb part of the spiritual energy, and use a little bit less. I am sure to kill him before Luo Yuheng survives the four-phase tribulation. "
In this regard, it, which once swallowed part of the undead tree's torso, has a great say.
Only then Xu Pingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and a "heart" fell back into his stomach. As a long-time god and demon, Baidi has been in contact with the undead tree, and his judgment will definitely not be wrong.
When everyone stopped their flags and stopped their drums, the billowing sand and dust subsided at some point.
The earth mine calamity survived safely.
In the next second, the tumbling ink clouds in the sky intensified, and a "boom" lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a torrential rain, rain columns as thick as fingers slanted down, and the sky and the earth were full of misty rain and fog.
It was a blur.
Baidi looked at the figure blurred by the rain ahead, and said with a smile:
"Why do you think I am sure to kill you before the end of the Four Phase Tribulation? I am waiting for the Thunder Tribulation, here will be my home field!"
As the voice fell, a bolt of lightning fell from the tumbling clouds and struck at the broken corner of its head.
This is not a catastrophe, but a normal thunder and lightning, but it is partially contaminated with the breath of a catastrophe.
In the misty rain and mist, twisted lightning bolts centered on the horns and continuously scattered outward, like the tentacles of a squid.
The Baidi in the rain curtain is like the king who dominates this world.
the capital.
The gates of the city were wide open, and a train team drove into the capital along the official road, accompanied by pedestrians carrying packages and wealthy households in carriages.
At the gate of the city, the warlocks of the Sitianjian cooperated with the guards to interrogate and screen out the spies.
In the work of defense, it is an important part to strengthen the wall and clear the field.
There are two counties, Changle and Taikang, in the boundary of the capital city. In addition, there are more than a dozen small and large villages and towns.
Changle and Taikang each had 3,000 defenders, equipped with artillery beds and crossbows, and the two counties and the capital echoed each other at a distance.
But villages and towns have no conditions for defense.
In order to prevent the rebels from exploiting food, the imperial court decided to bring wealthy households and landlords in the villages and towns into the capital and collect corresponding city entry taxes. This is a good thing for the landlords to agree with.
It is definitely better to be blessed by paying part of the money and food than to be robbed by the rebels. The former only needs to pay part of the price, but the latter may be slaughtered.
At the top of the city, a large number of migrant workers are busy coming and going, either reinforcing the city wall, or carrying huge stones, rolling logs and other defensive weapons.
Artillery checks whether the implanted crossbows and artillery can be used normally. Different types of arms test different equipment.
The infantry ran wildly on the horse track in groups, doing seemingly meaningless drills such as "arriving at the duty area in the shortest time" and "getting familiar with the positions of different weapons as soon as possible".
With the active cooperation of officials, the defense work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Si Tianjian.
Sun Xuanji took Yuan Hufa to the base of the "Song Party" - the alchemy room. Twenty or thirty white-clothed warlocks were busy, some were making steel, some were forging iron, and some were making gunpowder.
Sun Xuanji looked left and right fiercely, then his expression relaxed slightly.
Yuan Hufa spoke out his heart just right for him:
"Fortunately, Junior Sister Zhong is not here. How dare these idiots who only know how to do alchemy experiments make explosives in the building?"
As if the mute button was pressed, the alchemy room was suddenly quiet, and the white-clothed warlocks silently stopped their work and looked over with expressionless faces.
The corner of Sun Xuanji's mouth twitched slightly.
Song Qing on the side shrugged:
"Don't worry, I have greeted Junior Sister Zhong, she will not leave the ground during this time."
Sun Xuanji nodded, pretending that the incident just now was over.
Yuan Hufa stared at Song Qing, and said involuntarily:
"This dumb man, he's been slandering us every day, bah!"
Song Qing's face froze suddenly.
Brothers Sun Xuanji and Song Qing stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, one took out the wooden shackle, and the other pulled out the machete
Yuan Hufa, who was wearing a wooden shackle, was forced to stand in the corridor. Song Qing took out a two-finger-high dish-shaped metal cake and said:
"This is my new weapon."
Sun Xuanji didn't speak, and examined the disc-shaped metal, waiting for Song Qing's explanation.
"It's not less powerful than a cannonball, but it's not used for firing, but buried in the ground." Song Qing pointed to the protrusion on the surface of the metal cake, and said:
"There is a flint here, as soon as you step on it, the flint will rub, ignite the wire, and with a bang, people and horses will be smashed. Sixth-rank copper-skinned iron bones can only be hit twice at most. If a fourth-rank martial artist dares to step on it all the way, Also fell apart.
"By the way, I also filled it with a large amount of white phosphorus. Once it sticks to people, it will be like tarsal maggots, which cannot be extinguished and will never die.
"It's a pity that white phosphorus can only be used in winter, and now it's cold, so don't worry about it spontaneously igniting.
"This thing is called "Landmine". It's named after Mr. Xu."
He has been researching how to make landmines recently, inspired by a book called "Firearms Encyclopedia" given by Xu Qi'an.
According to Xu Yinluo, this was his painstaking work (he was so entangled by these alchemists that he had no choice but to scribble and scribble), and it recorded some unconstrained weapons, such as tanks, fighter jets, grenades, landmines, Nukes etc.
Song Qing was amazed at Mr. Xu's wonderful idea, but the description of the weapon in it was too crude.
Tank—an iron-clad carriage with a built-in cannon.
Grenade - a cannonball.
Landmine - Explosives buried in the ground.
Nuke - The Art of Boiling Water.
Song Qing researched and researched, and found that landmines are the most reliable and most worthy of research weapons, which are very suitable for Dafeng's current situation-defending the city.
Tanks are of little significance, they are expensive at first glance, and when encountering masters, most of them will be destroyed with one blow.
If grenades can be fired with artillery, why throw them by hand?
As for the nuclear bomb, Song Qing didn't understand the relationship between weapons and boiling water.
Sun Xuanji's eyes lit up, and he said concisely:
"quantity!"
"Currently there are only 8,000 pieces, and they are all in the warehouse at the end of the corridor. Please trouble Brother Sun to bring them to the city defense army." Song Qing said.
This is the limit of what he can do as an alchemist, and it is also his revenge against the Yunzhou Army.
On the flat and wide outskirts of the city, an army of 70,000 people marched mightily towards the capital, and the flag of Yunzhou fluttered fiercely in the strong wind.
In this 70,000-strong army, there are only about 30,000 real armored soldiers, and the rest are composed of militias and miscellaneous troops.
Both of them are composed of civilians captured in Yongzhou. The militiamen complexly escorted military supplies such as grain, artillery, etc., and were also responsible for filling roads, lighting fires and cooking.
The miscellaneous troops were young and strong selected from the militia, each equipped with a sword, and rushed to the battlefield in a hurry.
There will be no shortage of such military branches, whether it is the Yunzhou Army or the Dafeng Army.
But the elite troops, the two sides are fighting less and less.
Qi Guangbo sat on the back of his horse, looking at the majestic city at the end of the horizon, let out a long breath:
"The capital is finally here!"
Behind him are Ji Xuan, Yang Chuannan, Ge Wenxuan and other capable generals.
Hearing this, Ji Xuan and others were filled with emotion.
It has been more than three months since the uprising, and the Yunzhou army has pushed the front line from south to north, leaving countless corpses of comrades and enemies along the way.
Since ancient times, under the throne, there are piles of bones, and the king's picture of hegemony is painted by the blood of the common people.
Qi Guangbo clamped the horse's belly, let the horse run forward for a short distance, then turned the horse's head, facing the army, and said loudly:
"It has been more than three months since the king's division left Yunzhou. All the soldiers set out with the commander. They stepped on the Central Plains and occupied Qingzhou and Yongzhou successively. Now that the army is approaching the capital, victory is in sight. If we take this city, the Central Plains will be in our pocket. .
"It's the present day to confer kings and worship ministers. Whoever rushes to the top of the city first will be rewarded with a thousand taels, and ten thousand households will be made marquises."
"Roar!"
Tens of thousands of people roared in unison, and the sound waves were like sea tides, which was spectacular.
Boom boom boom!
The drums sounded like thunder, and the army set off, rushing towards the capital.
Half an hour ago, Haoqi Building.
On the observatory on the seventh floor, Wei Yuan, dressed in green and with white temples, stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the four golden gongs, silver gongs and copper gongs downstairs.
There are three hundred people.
Wei Yuan spoke softly and calmly:
"After today, those who survived will be promoted to a higher level and rewarded with a thousand taels.
"If anyone dies, I will personally carry the coffin!"
The watchman's blood rushed straight to his head, his eyes were blazing, and he roared:
"I am willing to go through fire and water for Wei Gong, and I will die!"
zzz!
The thunderbolt, as thick as an arm, twisted and slashed across the air, whipping out two streaks of scorched black on the ground, and the rainwater in the corresponding area evaporated instantly.
Xu Qi'an's figure emerged from the shadow of a rock twenty feet away on the right.
Puff puff puff. As soon as he appeared, the rain above his head turned into a rain of arrows and a barrage of bullets, covering him instantly, leaving shallow pits on his body surface.
As a natural water spirit, in the environment of ocean and heavy rain, Baidi's strength has increased a lot. The most obvious change is that he does not need to cast mana to absorb water spirit from the air.
The overwhelming rainwater is like an extension of its limbs, turning it into its own use at any time to control the enemy.
It hurt so much Xu Qi'an grinned his teeth, he didn't distract himself from resisting the overwhelming attacks, and disappeared into the shadows again.
boom!
The stone he used to jump from the shadow was crushed by the distorted lightning the next moment.
The two horns on the top of Baidi's head kept releasing thunder and lightning with fangs and claws, and the "sizzling" sound made the scalp numb.
Xu Qi'an either used the shadow to jump, or ran at high speed, sprinted sideways, and rolled over to avoid the terrifying lightning strike.
But it was hard for him to avoid the rain that was pouring down one after another. The air barrier couldn't stop Baidi's water magic, and he sacrificed the Buddha Pagoda. With the natural hardness of the magic weapon, he could withstand a few waves of rain.
During this process, Bai Di chased Xu Qi'an and bit him, making him fall into an environment like "enemies from all over the world".
As time passed by, Xu Qi'an's injuries became more and more serious.
He was completely suppressed, all he could do was dodge, it seemed that he didn't even have the power to fight back.
Crashing. The stagnant water swirls and rises, rolling up mud and gravel, forming a huge waterspout.
Baidi closed his eyes, stopped taking over the picture, and moved his ears slightly to catch all the sounds around him.
In its perception, the world is dark, and the raindrops create ripples in the darkness, each ripple outlines a sound source, and finally feeds back the real world to its mind.
In such a world, any disturbance will be infinitely magnified.
This is the innate supernatural power of Baidi's body.
Found it. Baidi opened his eyes violently, his azure pupils stared at a certain place, and the waterspout slammed into him ferociously.
The figure of Xu Qi'an happened to appear at the place where Baidi gazed.
Just as Xu Qi'an emerged from the state of jumping from the shadows, he suddenly felt his feet tightened, his ankles were entangled by two tentacles made of rainwater, and facing him was a waterspout wrapped in mud and gravel that struck with the force of a thunderbolt.
Too bad his heart sank.
Xu Pingfeng, who was watching from a distance, stood with his hands behind his back, with a relaxed posture.
