Yanyan Island, Wuxin City.
Since the attack on Wuxin City that day failed, the Black Turbans on the opposite side became much quieter. They no longer insisted on capturing the city within a few days, but spread out and sent scouts to the upstream and downstream, from all directions. Slowly close and surround and monitor this mountain-facing city.
The defenders in the city were naturally aware, but their strength was originally less than the Black Turbans outside, and there were many mountains in the Yan Ray Continent, and they fought in the forest. Those agile Black Turbans were obviously more advantageous and more flexible. , so in the end, I can only watch, occasionally bombard some small strongholds with cannons in the city, or send a small group of elites to deal with the scouts on the west side of the road.
The two sides were in a stalemate for several days, the defenders were waiting for support, and the Black Turbans were also waiting for support.
It was like this until five days later, and finally there was a change.
A group of about 60 people came from the south, and even the defenders in the city could hear the heavy hoofs on the opposite bank in the distance.
"What's going on over there?" The team on the city wall was talking.
"Looking at the people who came from the south, could it be some kind of special expert?" Ordinary people usually think of this.
"Quick, take a closer look." Said, the team was looking at the soldiers on the watchtower.
"Yes!" The soldier began to fiddle with the copper telescope in front of him and turned to the distant camp.
Against the background of the dark woods, dozens of tall visitors rode black giant bulls and walked on the road by the river.
These people are tall and tall, about three to four meters, with dark skin but with a metallic luster, giving people the ultimate copper color, only a little dark gold can be seen, and they wear rough-style armor, shoulders and legs. Their belly is exposed, and their hair is mostly grey-blue.
When being spied on, one of them turned his head, only to see a flash in front of his eyes, and the soldier on the watchtower knelt on the ground with his eyes covered, rolling over and over.
"It hurts, ahhh!"
"Don't look at it." On the other side of the city wall, an old soldier came over.
"Those are the descendants of Lei Xia Ze's Thunder God. I don't think they can find more than 60 people. Haven't these people died out long ago?"
In ancient times, Lei Xia Ze lived a group of tall giant races, with dark skin like copper, good at using lightning, and giant snakes.
It is a pity that the number of such a powerful race has always been small. Then, with the advent of the Phoenix, the human race migrated and expanded in all directions from the coast of the Yellow Sea. In the blue thread of the road, they met this powerful local tribe.
The two sides fought several battles after meeting, and then the tribe's population dwindled, and then gradually declined.
Originally, there was a giant city in Lei Xia Ze, which gathered nearly a million people in the ancient times. After the war, the giant city sank into the swamp. After that, the descendants of these Thunder God tribes gradually disappeared and became less and less. Most of them are mixed blood, not as powerful and special as their ancestors.
After solving the prying eyes of the defenders on the city wall, the group of more than 60 people walked into the camp of the Black Turbans. They didn't even look at the wooden fence beside them. They looked at the soldiers around them like fragile chickens.
"That's it, Huang Gu." The black-clothed young man walking at the front got off his horse and spoke to the tall figure behind him.
"Yeah." His voice was rough, then turned around and made a gesture to the clansmen behind him.
Afterwards, these people got down from the huge black cow and sat cross-legged on the ground to rest without speaking much. Only from the occasional electric sparks that appeared on their bodies could they realize that they were refining their magic power and practicing.
Wu Xingkui opened the curtain and walked into the large tent in the center, while Huang Gu, who was behind, also bent down and walked into the tent with his head lowered. Fortunately, the height inside was sufficient, so he didn't need to keep his waist down, it was always too high. Everyone in the tent had to look up at this tall descendant of Thor.
"Everyone, this is my eldest brother Huang Gu." Wu Xingkui introduced to everyone, and then there was an intermittent welcome sound in the big tent.
Obviously, although this man is powerful, it also makes many people in the big tent fear.
Fortunately, this descendant of the Thunder God named Huang Ku has a very calm personality, and it was only slowly that everyone felt relieved.
After that, the topic turned to the main issue to be faced now, that is, how to capture the city on the other side of the river.
"Prepare me with a large shield, and then five thousand people will follow me." After the discussion, Huang Gu slowly opened his mouth and narrated it in a straightforward manner, as if breaking a branch on the roadside tonight.
"The shield... It may be difficult to temporarily build it now, but you can use the rivets on the wood to tie other shields together. I don't know if Lord Arakuu can accept it."
"Can."
"That's good." Then everyone discussed the issue of siege.
"Is 5,000 people a little short? Last time we attacked with a total of 30,000 people before and after, and we still lost."
Huang Gu shook his head and looked down at the people below, "Five thousand elite soldiers are enough, any more will be damaged by firearms."
Too crowded is really bad for firearms. Everyone nodded thoughtfully, but after thinking about it, the defenders in the city were better than them in terms of discipline, equipment and training. Can they really be defeated without an advantage in numbers
"The former army is five thousand, and we will look at the situation and support in the future. What do you think?" This should be safer, everyone thought so.
"Can."
After some details were finished, it was completely dark outside. By the time everyone in the tent walked out, the fire had already started to cook outside.
Hundreds of huge iron pots were cooking food in the camp on the river bank to supply the black turban army of about 130,000. Many soldiers danced and sang around the fire. dull and depressing.
Different from the soldiers of the Plantagenet Dynasty, most of these black turban warriors came from the mountains and rivers and waters of the seven continents. They were not soldiers who had been trained for a long time, so they also retained many customs and habits within the tribe. They could speak the local language with an accent. , and then use strange-shaped musical instruments to relieve irritability. Although it lacks the uniformity of the dynasty, it also has the unrestrained beauty of the ancient times.
Many of these Black Turbans are still smeared with white or red and black paint on their faces, similar to war patterns and some kind of prayer. Some forms still remain.
When walking into this hot night camp, Huang Gu's tall figure immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the descendants of Thor who were sitting cross-legged outside also stood up.
"Let's rest here tonight and wait for someone to arrange a place for us to live."
"Yes, Chief!" They answered neatly and unanimously, surprising many people in the camp, and some even prepared to gather around to watch, but fortunately, it was a barracks, and there were some rules, so they didn't walk around at will.
Afterwards, Wu Xingkui brought Huang Gu and a group of middle and high-level soldiers around a huge bonfire and had dinner.
Beast meat and grilled fish are strung on thick wooden sticks, and they are roasted beside the fire. A small low table is placed in front of each person, and then soldiers will fill the pot with rice. Put it on the table, and then put down a small pot of rice wine, and the fragrance of Dandan wafts out.
This kind of alcohol is not high, and it will not be too drunk to drink. In addition, the resistance of the extraordinary is not low, so it is also considered a ration in the army.
"Come on, let's toast Lord Huanggu first." Soon after the opening ceremony, someone toasted the tall figure sitting on the ground.
In response, Huang Gu just shook his head, "I don't drink alcohol."
After speaking, he directly stretched out his hand and pointed to the fire, and soon a soldier brought the roasted animal meat.
After that, the general held the barbecue and ate it one bite at a time. He also ate a lot of rice by the way, and then asked someone for tea to relieve his tiredness.
Seeing that he was one-of-a-kind, introverted and less talkative, everyone gradually stopped bothering the general and turned to other things.
"The father-in-law of King Huainan, the Wang family of Dongshan mobilized a lot of ships in the Yellow Sea to go to Hedaizhou to support King Huainan. The Beifu army was not good at water warfare, and many people were blocked by the riverside."
"This King Huainan is really lucky, and the emperor really found a good marriage for him back then." Many people sighed with emotion.
"The Wang family of Dongshan has produced many capable people in all dynasties, and has operated the four continents of Yunmen for hundreds of years. It has a profound background. It is estimated that it can be compared with some big door-to-door sects. With their full support, the king of Huainan wants people, money and money, and food reserves. Sufficient, rear stability."
"In this way, King Dai is really not as good as King Huainan. Since the attack on Luojing was defeated and returned, I haven't heard any news."
"Dai Wang made good friends with many noble families in Luojing in the early years. Unfortunately, the new king took Luojing first, and it is not easy for those families to continue to stand on Dai Wang's side."
"It's good to lose! Hahaha, that's not a bullshit Dai Wang, he still wants to be called the king and ascend the throne, which is laughing at the world."
It can be seen that even the people who cut Lei Qizhou did not have a good impression of King Dai. The death of Ying Li Xing, the head of Xuanyi Palace in the early years, was inseparable from this King Dai, and now the newly established ones are: In the Xin Kingdom, many officials came from the Xuanyi Palace, so naturally they hated this King Dai.
After listening to other people chatting, Wu Xingkui sat down beside Huang Gu with a jug and barbecue.
"It should be difficult to bring eldest brother here this time." He spoke first.
"It's okay." Huang Gu shook his head and continued to eat meat.
"That year, I just ran out of home and participated in Lei Xiaze's competition. I was very excited and proud. Later, I was very happy to meet Brother Huanggu and that kid Ying Canxiao, oh yes, so did Sister Nanlian, but I haven't seen her and Jialan for many years." He talked about the past while drinking.
"This kid Ying Canxiao was originally the grandson of the head of the Xuanyi Palace, but instead of going to the Xuanyi Palace, he bowed down to the Yanxing Gate instead, making all the elders of the Xuanyi Palace very angry, haha." He laughed a few times.
"But now, this kid should be the best among us."
"One of the cores of Hanshan Yanxingmen, leading several floating giant boats to wander in the North Sea, traveling to and from the country of the northern elves, I feel that if I run to find him now, it will make people feel a little high." He put down the jug and shook his head. .
"No, Ying Canxiao is not that kind of person." On the contrary, Huang Gu, who has always been taciturn, commented.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Wu Xingkui was slightly drunk, his eyes half-opened.
"He will do it, and he will not break his promise easily."
"It turns out that eldest brother has such an image in his heart, so it seems that I am used to joking with him when drinking with him." Wu Xingkui leaned on the wooden table beside him, his eyes half-opened looking at the bonfire in front of him.
"After I left Lei Xiaze, I went to Luojing, which is very prosperous. It was a luxury scene that I read in books when I was a child."
"It's a pity that Luojing is not a place where people like me can make their mark. There are too many geniuses and experts. Just in the few years I was in Jixia Academy, I met five or six geniuses of the same age as me. "
"And he's M. Their family background is better. Some have a good marriage at a young age. I am envious and ashamed."
"I can also take the name of a talented strategist in the seven continents of Gulei, and go to other places, nothing." He laughed at himself again.
"What kind of genius? It's just a remote hometown, and everyone doesn't know much about it, hahahaha..." He took another sip of suffocating wine, as if to vent his frustration over the years.
At this time, a thick palm was pressed on Wu Xingkui's shoulder, and the heavy touch made the drunk man a bit sober. He opened his eyes and looked at the tall figure beside him.
I don't know when, Huang Gu has finished eating the barbecue in front of him, and behind his tall figure is the star fire in the sky, just looking at the drunk Wu Xingkui, let the latter gradually sober up.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you and take down Wuxin City on the other side." After he said this, he stood up and disappeared into the lively night.
"Tomorrow..." Wu Xingkui continued to pour the remaining wine in the pot into his mouth, and then finished drinking it.
After that, he threw down the jug, then supported the person next to him, and swayed to the resting place.
The next day, the sky was fine.
When the light just shone on the top of the city, the river bank launched an attack here. First, a group of powerful supernatural beings stepped on the water and nailed the iron rope to the river bank.
Afterwards, the following soldiers quickly filled the iron rope with bamboo rafts and wooden boards, and the tide-like soldiers rushed towards the opposite bank with their shields up. Among the shouting black-clothed soldiers, the giant at the head attracted everyone's attention.
Huang Gu held a huge shield with twelve shields stacked on top of him with rivets in front of him, and then strode straight across the river. The pace seemed not in a hurry, but it was extraordinarily fast, so that the soldiers at the head of the city only shot a few rounds. I saw him come ashore.
"Release!" The defenders on the city wall shouted, and then one after another, howling rockets dragged long flame tails through the air and shot at the dark-skinned descendant of Thor.
Successive explosions and flames rose on the shield, and the steel shield covered by the huge wooden board was blown up, but these could not stop the tall giant from moving forward except for the shield to shake slightly.
Soon he was under the city wall, and by this time the soldiers at the head of the city were able to shoot the general over the upper edge of the shield.
Boom! Metal collisions and sparks sounded on his shoulders, but unfortunately he still couldn't break the defense. The descendants of Thor seemed to be extraordinarily tough after training to the highest stage. Their bodies were made of gold and iron, heavy and hard. Those iron hands waved their shields. It hit the city wall directly, and a wave of shaking came from below, and the soldiers at the head of the city were almost unsteady.
Then there was another heavy crash, knocking on the city gate, and the loud noise could be heard throughout the city, making the people and soldiers in the city panic and uneasy.
"Quick, send someone to stop him! Team Mo Dao, come on!"
A dozen or so heavy armored sergeants holding high Mo Dao jumped from the city head, the heavy and sharp Mo Dao straight down, smashed the shield directly, and in a burst of smoke, Mo Dao sergeant who was slightly smaller than the giant surrounded him. At the side of Huang Ku, he swung his sword to attack.
"clang-"
There was a long trembling sound of metal impact on Mo Daoyu Zai's body, and then left a white mark. Seeing that he was surrounded, Huang Gu'er turned around, he untied the thick iron rope wrapped around him, and swept away directly. Come.
The sergeant Mo Dao, who was hit, vomited blood even though he was wearing three layers of heavy armor. He took a few steps back, the armor on his body disintegrated layer by layer, and fell to the side, drowned by the black turban soldiers who rushed forward like a flood.
The sound of firearms shooting was endless, but with the tall descendants of Thor fighting in the front line, the Black Turbans behind them were also extraordinarily heroic.
The huge electric current of Zila flashed in the sky, and the descendants of the god of thunder who followed Huang Ku moved forward with their palms, and the thick electric current flowed between their hands, and then rushed out and shot towards the city head, sweeping them one by one, directly smashing the city head. Those ordinary soldiers cleaned up, and the smell of all kinds of burnt lakes sounded in the city head.
Without the interference of firearms, more ladders were quickly erected under the city wall, and soon with a loud bang, the city gate collapsed, and many Black Turbans also followed Huang Gu into the city.
The defenders in Wuxin City did not expect that this battle would be defeated so quickly. The support behind them had not caught up with the city's head, and the city gate and city walls had already fallen, and now even the elite Modao team and Firearms Battalion still exist. , but in the face of the black turban army pouring into the city like a tide, it is already gone.
Without a suitable battlefield and no place to defend, the Black Turbans with a huge advantage in numbers shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, quickly encircling and attacking the scattered soldiers in the city that had not yet gathered.
"It's over." Du Wei stood on the tower and looked at the chaotic scene below, his voice was low.
"Hit the flag and tell the other party that we surrender. I just hope that they will treat the people in the city kindly."
"Sir!" The general on the side was excited and puzzled.
Although the defense of the city failed, but now there is no room for resistance, in case reinforcements come.
"Don't hold on, this Plantagenet Dynasty, alas..."
"It's over, that's it." Although he wanted to say something, the captain finally shook his head.
The flag at the head of the city was slowly lowered. At noon, the screams of killing in the city gradually stopped. When the afternoon sunset came, it finally became quiet and stabilized.
A group of black turban troops patrolled the street, and Wu Xingkui and the others slowly stepped into the palace of the government in the city.
"Our army has finally won a city. This is a great contribution to the Honourable Desolation." After everyone gradually calmed down, they turned to look at the big man who walked in slowly at the entrance of the main hall. There was still blood and dust on his body, and there was still a hole in his chest. He was holding a half-length Mo Dao, but looking at his gentle footsteps, it didn't seem to be greatly affected.
"Fortunately not to be humiliated." His expression remained unchanged, his eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and the aura of shock on his body had not yet completely dissipated.
"Although the city has been acquired, it still needs to be managed in the future. I won't, Wu Xingkui can." His words were straightforward, as if stating the facts.
After everyone listened, their eyes also turned to the side of the main hall, the black-clothed boy who was stroking the red pillar.
They all looked at each other, then bowed and cupped their hands together.
"Please also ask Master Wu to take your place." The voices were unanimous, echoing in this empty hall.
Although he didn't look back, the trembling of that finger betrayed Wu Xingkui's unbearable excitement. He retracted his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and then turned to open it.
"I will live up to the lords." He also bent down and saluted the crowd in front of him.
