The soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, making the encirclement lineup look a bit strange.
Smoke rose from the town, and riots were visible. General Sun assessed the situation, made a decision at the last moment, and suddenly shouted, "Kill!"
A wooden hammer was swung up and slammed down, bang! The sound of explosions sounded, and a steel spear whizzed away, as if giving a general order to attack.
The wooden hammers were swung one after another to hit the siege crossbow spring, and there was a dense and continuous sound of banging and blasting.
The steel spear that whizzed away flashed with cold light...
"Get out!" Lu Yuangang roared on the roof. His eyes flashed and he saw the first steel spear falling from the sky. With a "dong" sound, it cracked the stone floor and penetrated halfway into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a roar like a storm fell from the sky, and steel spears flashing with cold light came overwhelmingly.
This root can be poured into the thick city wall to facilitate the climbing of siege weapons, cracking rocks and cracking the ground, breaking tiles through the wall, covering the entire town with a devastating force.
There were loud crashes and shouts everywhere, people were dodging everywhere, and any greetings and orders were ineffective.
Someone was dazed and shook his head vigorously. Suddenly his body trembled and he fell to the ground with a steel spear pierced through his body.
There were also many monks who were dodging and knocking away the incoming steel spears, desperately looking for a suitable hiding place.
Some of the oil tanks hidden in the corners, some of which were set up by the centurion who had arrived earlier, were inevitably broken by steel spears. Suddenly, the fire oil overflowed, emitting a pungent smell.
The continuous black shadows came like waves of dark clouds, and the arrows came, dense as rain, even denser than the coverage of steel spears.
With an army of 200,000, countless archers drew their bows and fired arrows into the sky. They took turns firing arrows non-stop, maintaining a wave of continuous shooting.
The fire light came on, the rockets were ignited, and rockets flew towards the small town mixed with arrows. Some of them hit kerosene, and soon the town was ablaze.
When the fire broke out, the poisonous smoke in the town became thicker and thicker, and the raging flames also put people trying to hide with obstacles into trouble.
A cavalry appeared, rumbling and galloping, Luo Daan came back, and led three thousand heroic Wulie guards to appear again.
Appearing from the upwind direction, he came to the back of the besieging army and watched the encirclement and suppression offensive with cold eyes. Luo Daan, who was sitting on horseback, looked indifferent.
Zhuang Hong and Xia Lingpei were also among them. The mother and son naturally knew who the people in the town were.
Witnessing such a tragic scene, the mother and son looked horrified and unbelievable!
Lu Yuan, who was hiding behind a big tree, vomited blood and escaped from the front, but not from behind. After being poisoned, his reaction was slow and his hands and feet were weak. He was actually penetrated by a steel spear from the back and was nailed to the head. on the tree.
Hearing the constant screams, Lu Yuan, with his mouth full of blood, looked up to the sky and roared, "Shang Chaozong, I will never let you go even if I am a ghost!"
He screamed heartbreakingly, but he didn't expect that this was actually a trap. He never thought that Shang Chaozong would take such a big detour to kill Mr. Xiaoyue.
He never expected that even now, he couldn't figure out why!
The Heavenly Sword Talisman was revealed in his hand, and the powerful shadows of the Heavenly Sword burst out from the majestic energy, shattering the big tree in front of him to resist the rain of arrows.
The shadow of the Heavenly Sword disappeared. Just as Lu Yuan turned around with the steel spear stuck in his body, another steel spear came towards his chest, pinning him to the ground on the spot. The arrows like a downpour turned him into a hedgehog. Looking up to the sky and vomiting blood...
The siege crossbows stopped attacking, leaving only arrows that continued to create dark clouds that covered them continuously.
However, the siege crossbow did not stop its preparations for the attack. It was ready to adjust the angle of attack at any time. Once it found someone rushing out of the town, it would immediately shoot and strangle.
The monks holding weapons in the army looked at each other from time to time, but they didn't get any chance to make a move.
This all depends on adequate preparation. The poisonous smoke that was quietly set off in advance has basically turned the Xiaoyue Pavilion personnel in the town into soft-footed shrimps. Faced with such an offensive that does not spare arrows, it is very difficult to It's hard for anyone to break out.
As soon as it came out, it fell from the air and turned into a hedgehog and hit the ground.
There were also those who rushed out against the obstacles and rushed into the army, trying desperately to break out.
However, the archers in the formation were basically indifferent and allowed the intrusion to occur. There was no disorder in the shooting formation and they continued to maintain the rhythm of shooting.
This is not a new army. They are clearly veterans with strict military discipline and long-term training.
It can't be the new army. The matter is very important. Niu Youdao has already spoken. So for Shang Chaozong, whether the matter can be handled well this time is related to whether he can become the regent and whether he can control it. The military and political power of the entire Yan Kingdom!
To this end, Shang Chaozong basically mobilized the most elite troops among Nanzhou's troops, and assembled a large number of siege crossbows, as well as a large number of bows and arrows.
Nearly 70% of the 200,000 horses and horses are equipped with bows and arrows. Such a large-scale ordnance ratio is rare!
Shang Chaozong almost gave Luo Daan a death order. Meng Shanming also summoned his disciples and repeatedly emphasized that he could only succeed, and even used the word "no matter the cost".
As for the Xiaoyue Pavilion personnel who rushed into the army, some of the monks accompanying them jumped out to intercept them and joined forces to kill them.
Having turned into a soft-legged shrimp due to the poisonous smoke, it was already at the end of its strength to be able to rush here, and it was impossible to escape with only a few enemies.
The attack did not last long, less than half a stick of incense. The commander waved his hand and ordered the army to stop the attack.
The besieged town was in flames.
The commanding general, General Sun, waved his hand again, and thousands of monks from all around stepped out, covering their mouths and noses with wet towels, and rushed towards the burning town, extinguishing the fire and searching for survivors and lurkers who might have escaped underground!
Part of the army began to advance forward. Swordsmen, spearmen, and archers worked together in groups of ten to clear out the approaching troops inch by inch.
Regardless of whether he was alive or dead, he was still breathing, even if he saw the body lying on the ground, he would hit him again.
When encountering the jumping one, the archer immediately shot an arrow.
When they encountered someone standing up unsteadily, the spearmen immediately joined forces to assassinate him repeatedly, never letting anyone go.
One person was about to struggle to get up, but a soldier rushed forward and cut off the other person's head with a knife. He also muttered and cursed, "I have never fought such a battle, and I have never seen such a stupid person. See The army is coming, but it’s really strange that they can still gather together for us to surround and annihilate them!”
As a soldier below, I don't know the layout behind the scenes, or even who I am participating in the encirclement and suppression. It is not surprising that I feel strange.
Even for some generals who participated in the encirclement and suppression, it was incredible.
If Xiaoyue Pavilion brings someone with rich battlefield experience like Luo Zhao this time, I'm afraid the situation will change.
A person like Luo Zhao will instinctively observe when he sees a large army of soldiers and horses. He will find something wrong with the ratio of bows and arrows in the army. He will also be alert to whether the environment around the town is suitable for a large army to besiege.
But the people in Xiaoyue Pavilion didn't notice anything unusual from beginning to end. It wasn't until they were besieged that they realized they had fallen into a trap.
Zhuang Hong's mother and son looked at this scene of massacre from a distance, their eyes full of fear and shuddering, not knowing what was waiting for them.
The fire in the town was extinguished. The army repeatedly pulled the net back and forth, and all the corpses were treated with last-ditch attacks!
massacre! A true massacre, leaving no one alive!
The soldiers who participated in the war were relatively good and didn't think anything was wrong. Isn't it normal for people to die in war
On the contrary, the monks who participated in the war felt a little shuddered when they saw the corpses on the ground. Thousands of people in Xiaoyue Pavilion were slaughtered by a secular army in such a short period of time
The next step is to clean the battlefield, recover arrows and steel spears, and pull back the damaged ones for craftsmen to repair.
After meeting with the monks and confirming that there was basically no fish that had slipped through the net, General Sun carried Lu Yuan's head and ran to Luo Da'an on a fast horse, presented the head to Luo Da'an, and officially returned to life. The combat mission was successfully completed!
Seeing Lu Yuan's head, Zhuang Hong's mother and son were extremely frightened.
After Luo Daan made arrangements for his men and horses, he turned his mount and was about to lead his men away.
Xia Lingpei suddenly shouted, "General Luo, my teacher is the Taoist Master of Thatched Cottage..." When he said this, the second half of the sentence was obviously lacking in confidence.
I said this now to protect myself, because I knew the teacher's influence on Nanzhou's forces, and I hoped this life-saving straw would be useful.
Luo Da'an reined in his mount and stared at him, "If it weren't for Master Dao's face during his lifetime, and if it weren't for the fact that you were his student, do you think you mother and son could still be here? Don't be afraid, someone will send you there. From Nanzhou." After saying that, he rode away.
He didn't know that Niu Youdao meant this action, nor did he know that Niu Youdao was still alive.
The mother and son looked at each other, and then they realized the reason why they were taken out of the town. It turned out that their status as Taoist students saved the lives of mother and son. Otherwise, mother and son would have died in that small town.
Want to be sent to Nanzhou? Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a lingering fear.
Before the mother and son were sent away, they looked back from time to time to look at the ruined town. The same thought came to mind, is Xiaoyue Pavilion over like this
It is impossible to say that there is not a single fish that has slipped through the net. The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. There are still some eyes and ears arranged by Xiaoyue Pavilion in various places in the world, but those at the bottom cannot become the climate. Xiaoyue Pavilion is completely destroyed. Erased from the spiritual world.
The Qin State was truly and completely wiped clean from the world.
…
"Okay! Da'an did a beautiful job this time, with careful planning, boldness and carefulness, and decisive actions. He is worthy of being a disciple of Commander Meng. He has quite the demeanor of Commander Meng and lives up to my king's high expectations!"
In Nanzhou Yingwu Hall, after receiving a detailed battle report, it was confirmed that Luo Daan had successfully completed the mission. Shang Chaozong was delighted and praised, and the fear of accidents finally let go.
Lan Ruoting stroked his beard, nodded and said with a smile: "You did a great job indeed. This time, Da'an will probably become famous all over the world!"
"Alas!" Meng Shanming sighed, "A arrogant soldier will be defeated. If he encounters a master, he will suffer a loss sooner or later! I hope he will be defeated a few times before he suffers a big loss."
He has captured the arrogance in Luo Daan's bones from Luo Daan's action this time. He must have stayed with the top management of Nanzhou for a long time. Everyone in Nanzhou has to give some face, and there is no food on the battlefield. What a loss.
For Meng Shanming, capturing Qin was just a matter of smooth sailing, and annihilating Xiaoyue Pavilion meant being prepared. The big framework had been set up for Luo Daan, and these were not really tough battles at all. . If fame because of this fuels arrogance, it's really not a good thing.
Lan Ruoting was thoughtful and seemed to understand what he meant.
Shang Chaozong was in a good mood, "Shuai Meng is too demanding. It is already rare for him to have such ability at his age."
Meng Shanming didn't want to say anything more, so he changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, you can return to the Dao Master."
"Yeah!" Shang Chaozong nodded.
PS: Thanks to "Master Xiao" for the little red flower encouragement.
