"That's the West Pole warship?" Nagi Hong said in surprise.
The towering side of the ship, the eye-catching tower at the stern, and the three mainsail masts are all characteristics of the West Pole ship. When Natatin built the port northeast of Yama, she had seen similar ships before.
"No, the flag they are flying is the Seven-Star Flag!" Wuyue frowned, "As far as I know, this is the emblem only used by the Seven-Star Privy Council."
"Seven Star Privy Council?"
"You mean, they are from the mainland?"
"Is this fleet related to Jinxia City?"
Everyone was talking about it for a while.
"No," Wuyue clenched her fists, "There is absolutely no good intention among those who come here! These people are Jin Xia's enemies!"
Except for the group of people who had followed him in Jinxia, the people on Yama Island knew very little about the changes in the mainland. Most people did not know the relationship between the court and the Privy Council, nor did they know that the Seven-Star Alchemist was already at war with Jinxia City. When they meet, they have the same potential as water and fire. Their arrival must not be good news for Yamaguo.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, red fire flashed across the fleet.
"They are shelling King Dongsheng's army!" Nagi Hong exclaimed.
With the explosion and thick smoke caused by the falling shells, the soldiers who were already in retreat ran faster. They rushed towards the northern wall of Fumi Mansion in a panic, not even caring about the encircling defense line of Princess Yama in the middle.
Now May Yao knows why these reinforcements don't even have horses.
Rushing from the north to Fumi, they needed to pass through a narrow mountain road. They were probably attacked by a sea ship during the march, and they immediately fell into a collapse. Horses are far more difficult to control when frightened than people. At this time, they still insisted on riding. On horseback, there is a high probability that the panicked horses will lead them down the cliff together.
Nowadays, these people are not so much reinforcements as they are a group of driven lambs.
In addition, May also noticed that the enemy's artillery was extremely fierce, which was in sharp contrast to the iron barrel cannons at the top of Fumifu City. Every time a fire was fired, it would set off a ball of flames in the defeated army. The latter had long been frightened out of their courage. It was obvious that lying prone on the spot or retreating to the hinterland of the countryside would be a better choice, but no one thought of doing so.
At this moment, the fleet, which was already near the edge of the beach, dropped its anchor.
The other party did not seem to have any intention of directly attacking the harbor.
Then many soldiers wearing armor slid down the ladder on the ship and fell directly into the sea. What was shocking was that they did not sink into the sea like stones, but ran directly on the sea! It seemed as if what they were stepping on was not sea water, but soft blue sand!
"No, these people are coming for us!" Wuyue Yao's heart sank as he saw this group of fresh troops rushing down from the north and colliding with the right wing of the encirclement. Since that side was not where the main force of the siege was, there were no machine beasts stationed there. Only a group of about 10,000 infantrymen were used to block the north gate of Fumi Mansion to prevent the troops inside the city from breaking through to the north.
The commanding officer on the right wing also responded quickly and adjusted his troops to face the incoming enemy head-on. However, as soon as the battle began, May felt the huge gap in strength between the two sides.
This group of armored soldiers is undoubtedly the elite of the elite. The bamboo spears and iron swords used by their own troops are almost vulnerable to the opponent's fine iron armor. Even the air rifles have no obvious effect. Moreover, the enemy obviously invested several alchemists, among whom a man in green clothes was particularly conspicuous. He seemed to be strolling on the battlefield, causing a bloody storm wherever he went. Most of the soldiers couldn't even get close to him, and their hands and feet would break if they came even a little bit closer. The scene looked particularly weird.
"Is that a monster?"
"Damn it, why can't the rifle team take him down!?"
There was a burst of excitement among the Chinese army.
An idea popped into Wu Yue's mind: high-level alchemist. When she was in Jinxia, she had seen the horror of these Qi-sensing people with the names of Qingjian and Yuyi. Their abilities are often difficult to measure with common sense, and sometimes one person can withstand an army. It is true that they are also made of flesh and blood, and they also have their own weaknesses. If the 30,000-strong army uses all their strength, they may be able to defeat the opponent, but that price is something Wuyueyao cannot accept.
She made a judgment based on instinct, "Pass my order to have the Xuanwu troops support the right wing and cut off the rear. The center army and the left wing will retreat immediately and give up this siege!"
"Sir, we are about to attack the city!" Keiichiro Arima said unwillingly.
"Retreating is the right choice." Nai Hong agreed, "The opponent has warships and artillery. Even if we capture Bumi City, we can only be beaten passively. What's more, the enemy has alchemists stationed there, so we can't take advantage even in street fighting. . These 30,000 people are the trump card in the hands of His Highness May, and we must not lose them all here!"
She knew very well that her lord's actions had offended many aristocratic families. The reason why they did not dare to act rashly was because the lord held the power in his hand that could easily destroy them. If the damage is too great and the territory cannot be expanded, it will be a trivial matter. A fire in the rear is the most feared thing in May.
With the changing of flags and the ringing of gold, the army began to retreat eastward. The Xuanwu troops led by Xue Qing changed direction and intercepted these uninvited guests who washed up on the beach.
"Crush them!"
Xue Qing raised the Qinglong sword and killed the seven-star soldier closest to him.
Compared with the air rifle, she still prefers this steel sword made and gifted by Jinxia Machinery Bureau. The ghost's origin has given it a powerful physique, and this heavy weapon can often perform well under her control. Yu Xuanwu Machine Beast's impact.
The soldier who tried to stop her was horrified to find that the sword in his hand was no match for one round. Even if he was holding a small shield, he would be split in half by the roaring long sword!
Xuanwu, who was following behind, took the opportunity to open fire. The firepower density and projectile power of the large-caliber rotary air rifle were not at the same level as those of individual rifles. A blood mist instantly rose up in the square formation of the Seven-Star Army, and the originally anxious battlefield also followed. Their attack separated them in two.
"Hurry up!" Xue Qing shouted towards the right-wing troops, "We will cut off the rear here!"
"Yes!" The generals took their men out of the countryside one after another, and the Seven-Star Army followed them again, seemingly not intending to let them go easily.
At this time, the figure of the man in green appeared in Xue Qing's field of vision.
Even after killing dozens of people and disrupting the right-wing defense line, he was still in good condition, and there was not even a trace of blood on the corner of his robe.
Looking at the other party, Xue Qing felt a strong sense of oppression.
This person reminded her of Xia Fan, both of whom looked like handsome young men, but when she got along with the former, she would feel soft and relaxed, while the latter felt chilled just by looking at each other.
There was no trace of pity for the living in his eyes.
Whether it is the troops of May or the soldiers of Qixing, it is the same to him.
