Yan Ding said: "If that Luo Bingfeng came out now, it would be a bit bad."
There was no need for Song Zining to answer, the old man in the imperial family said: "No. He is not sure whether we have set a trap for him to lure him out of the city to ambush him. If I were him, I would never take such a senseless risk. In the city, at least there is the benefit of the holy mountain. Look!"
The old man in the imperial family flicked his finger, and countless crystal grains shot out from his fingertips, turning into countless flying snow in the distance. When some snowflakes fell, they were held in the air by invisible barriers and stopped falling. In the blink of an eye, a crystal barrier appeared in front of everyone, looking at the arc, it faintly enveloped the holy mountain.
"This is the holy mountain domain, and it seems to be stronger than our family thought."
At this moment, the place where the floating ship is staying is not far from the edge of the holy mountain. Seeing that the barrier is so close, someone changed his face and said, "If he suddenly rushes out and retreats with one blow, what should we do?"
Many people have the same worried look on their faces.
Song Zining laughed, and said, "Don't worry! Luo Bingfeng is a hero, he doesn't bother to sneak up on the weak, so as not to lose his reputation. Only I can do this kind of thing, haha!"
The person who had just spoken laughed a few times and took the opportunity to step down.
The elder Li's family frowned and said: "This holy mountain domain, it looks really not easy! If that Luo Bingfeng hides in the holy mountain wholeheartedly, I'm afraid it's really difficult. Seventh son, what can you do?"
Another family elder also said: "Yes, it seems that this holy mountain must be solved. Seventh Young Master, you charged so much money from our families, but you said it was for the settlement of the holy mountain. Don't tell us now There is no way."
Song Zining smiled slightly, and said, "The solution has already been found, and now, there is no need to hide it from everyone. Look, isn't that the solution to the Holy Mountain?"
Everyone looked in the direction Song Zining pointed, and saw rows of heavy artillery. Until now, a steady stream of cargo boxes have been brought in, and parts have been removed from them to assemble new heavy artillery on the spot.
"Heavy artillery?"
Everyone has seen these heavy artillery for a long time, but they don't take it seriously. Heavy artillery is flashy, and it is of little use against stronger soldiers, and it is almost useless against strong soldiers. They thought that Song Zining had brought these heavy artillery here just to demolish the city defenses, and they were still laughing at him for making a fuss out of a molehill. Although Chaocheng is solid, its defense system is not the same as that of the empire and Yongye's heavy city, so there is no need for so many heavy artillery.
"That's them. As for how to use them, we'll know when tomorrow dawns." Song Zining put it off again.
In the dead of night, the imperial army had assembled, and the entire camp was brightly lit, even more dazzling than Tingchao City. However, the camp was quiet, and the soldiers were resting, recharging their energy, and waiting for the general attack the next day. But the city defense army didn't dare to be careless for a moment, defending all night, lest they be attacked by surprise.
There are always warships floating in the sky, making it impossible for the city defense army to attack. Finally, at dawn, the soldiers of the empire walked out of the barracks energetically, but the city defense army on the city wall showed fatigue.
General Chengwei's eyes were bloodshot, obviously he didn't sleep well all night. He stared at the city, not letting go of his opponent's every move, and his hand on the wall was trembling slightly.
Suddenly a big hand stretched out beside him and pressed it on his hand, and then someone asked, "Are you afraid?"
The city defense general turned his head to look, hurriedly stood up straight, and said, "General Du!"
Du Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes were like lightning, and he asked again: "Are you afraid?"
The city defense general blushed and said, "All these years, when have you ever seen me afraid? I just can't figure out what they are going to do."
Du Yuan glanced down the city, frowned slightly, and then sneered, "It's flashy, I'm afraid he will do something! There are so many heavy artillery pieces, do you want to demolish the city? Ha, demolish it for him!"
"General Du, I'm afraid..." General Chengfang hesitated to speak.
At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled slightly, and a cloud of white smoke rose from the heavy artillery position in the distance. With a loud noise resounding through the sky, a heavy artillery began to test fire.
This is a correction shot, and there is nothing surprising about it. But when the shells flew across the air and the sharp whistle came faintly, Du Yuan's expression suddenly changed.
With his eyesight close to that of a god general, the heavy artillery shells can be said to be as slow as a snail, and the trajectory is clearly visible. This cannonball had a surprisingly long range, flying high over the city and falling towards the holy mountain.
Before he could think about it, Du Yuan let out an angry roar, soaring into the sky, blocking the trajectory of the shell like a meteor, and punching out, the shell exploded in the air.
General Chengwei looked shocked, and the other soldiers were also confused, not understanding why Du Yuan cared so much about a cannonball.
Listening outside Chaocheng, Song Zining opened his folding fan, and said with a sneer, "If you can stop one, can you still stop hundreds of rounds? I want to see if you have more force, or I have more shells. Come on, Send the order, all the heavy artillery is ready, and shoot three times in rapid succession!"
After a moment of silence, the earth-shattering roar of heavy artillery submerged everything, and rows of shells flew across the urban area of Tingchao City like locusts and flew towards the holy mountain.
Desperation appeared on Du Yuan's face, and he jumped into the sky again. Countless blue fire balls shot out from his body, covering a range of 100 meters in an instant. As long as the heavy artillery shell hits the fireball, it will explode immediately. Fireballs ignited in the air, which was spectacular.
But Du Yuan tried his best, but he could only intercept shells with a circumference of 100 meters, but the holy mountain was so big, most of the shells missed. The city defense general also saw that something was wrong, and roared to order his subordinates to intercept, but although those officers were not afraid of heavy artillery bombardment, the difficulty of interception was more than twice that of defense? All the soldiers shot with all their strength, but only stopped half of them, and half of the shells still smashed hard on the holy mountain.
All of a sudden, the earth shook and the mountains shook.
Du Yuan stopped in the air, watching the fireworks constantly rising from the holy mountain, despair flashed across his face. He swayed, and suddenly fell to the ground. The interception just now had almost exhausted all his force.
The city defense general was shocked, flew over, helped Du Yuan up, and shouted: "General, general!"
Du Yuan opened his eyes, barely raised his breath, and said, "Do they have more shells...?"
"This..." the city defense general didn't know whether to say it or not.
Du Yuan opened his eyes angrily, and shouted, "Say!"
The city defense general gritted his teeth: "There are still many, very many."
When Du Yuan heard this, his eyes were lost for a while, as if all the strength in his body was gone, his lips moved, but he couldn't speak. He reached out to support the shoulder of the city defense general, struggled to stand up, and said in a deep voice, "Help me, go, Holy Mountain."
"That's useless!" the city defense general said.
"Take me there!" Du Yuan insisted.
At this moment, the feet of the two of them shook slightly again, and a heavy artillery shell flew through the air, leaving another crater on the holy mountain.
It would not be a surprise if the bombardment continued. On the contrary, it was a shell that flew, which seemed strange.
Inside the floating ship, Song Zining ordered: "Continue to calibrate the gun, and wait for my order. By the way, bring that person up."
After a while, the guards brought in a handsome young man with a fair complexion. He bowed his head and bowed, and when he saw Song Zining, he wanted to throw himself to the ground as a salute.
Song Zining raised his folding fan lightly, and a gentle force supported the young man, saying, "Don't kneel, I can't stand it."
The young man hurriedly said: "Seventh Young Master, you can't bear it, who else can bear it?"
Song Zining was unmoved, and said calmly: "The information you brought this time seems to be pretty good. If you win this battle, maybe your official position will be fulfilled."
The young man was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Qi, for cultivating it!"
Song Zining seemed to ask casually: "I remember you also said that this Du Yuan seems to have a very close relationship with that... madam?"
The young man hurriedly said: "Perhaps she should be called Miss. As far as I know, although Miss Nan has been with the city lord for some time, she seems to have never crossed the line."
Song Zining raised his eyebrows, as if he was very interested in this. After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "I heard that Du Yuan treated you well, why did you join us?"
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Treat me well? Hmph, I'm his adoptive son in name, but I've been a cow and horse for him since I was a child. I don't do my best. But that old guy just refuses to pass on his unique knowledge to him. Give it to me, leave all good things to his son! Such a person, why should I do with him? Only a master like you, Qi Shao, is worthy of my following... "
Song Zining quickly stopped him, "Okay, I understand. You go down first!"
When the young man left, Song Zining paced back and forth, whispering to himself, "No boundaries, no boundaries..."
After a while, Song Zining suddenly stopped, and said with a sneer, "Who am I? It turns out to be the remnant of Mingyue Qinxinliu! Hmph, let me know your origin, do you still want to escape?"
Song Zining pushed open the cabin door, strode into the command room, and said, "Send the order, prepare all the heavy artillery, and set fire to the holy mountain until the shells are all gone!"
The messenger left in a hurry, Song Zining said again: "Prepare me armor and gun!"
All the soldiers were shocked and said one after another: "Seventh Young Master, are you going to fight now?"
Song Zining nodded, and said: "It won't be long before Luo Bingfeng will come out. Send the order, the battleship moves forward, and the battle flag is raised!"
The flagship in the sky released a large cloud of steam, and the desolate and distant sound of the horn echoed over Tingchao City. Hearing the battle horn, the camp below began to boil, the gate opened, and groups of soldiers, under the cover of chariots and trucks with steel plates, began to slowly approach Tingchao City.
The sound of the battle horn was quickly drowned out by the roar of the heavy artillery, and countless shells roared into Tingchao City and smashed into the holy mountain. In a blink of an eye, the holy mountain was engulfed in thick smoke and fire, and shells roared down like a meteor shower.
In the sky, the hovering warships started slowly, pressing forward like giant hunting beasts. The line of fire also moved up the city wall with the movement of the battleship, and in a blink of an eye, the city wall of Tingchao City was submerged in a sea of flames. The fierce firepower of the regular warships of the empire was unprecedented in the East China Sea. The city defense turret was destroyed almost immediately, and the defenders were also blown up without any power to fight back.
In the air, there were still three battleships hovering unmoved. They are the flagships of the Imperial Family, Family Alliance and Song Zining respectively.
In the flagship of the Family Alliance, the elders of the Li family frowned as they looked at the holy mountain shrouded in fireworks. The person next to him finally couldn't bear it, and asked his doubts: "Isn't this just blowing up a barren mountain? What's the use? Can it really blow up the mountain?"
