On this day of fierce fighting, the two Chang'an warships floating in the sky in front of Mulu City were fully fired, pressing down on the soldiers of the Dashi Guards in the city with French cannons and bed crossbows.
The French cannon was developed by the craftsman of the Tang Dynasty. It is a more powerful magic weapon than the bed crossbow, so it consumes more resources. It is only equipped in the army of pure qi training monks. The Spike Army, Tiger Guard Army, and Habayashi Army each have a hundred or so. The number of French guns carried by a Chang'an ship is equal to the number of equipment of the first army, so the destructive power is huge.
The originally solid defenses of Mulu City were severely damaged by the continuous attacks of the Tiger Guards and Habayashi Army, but now they are being bombarded from the air by two Changan ships. Naturally, it is difficult to support it. Destroyed.
"If things go on like this, whether Mulu City can be defended tomorrow is unknown, and if Mulu City is broken early, it will be difficult for the entire defense line to last for a month and a half as expected." When patrolling the city defense, Xi Luchi looked worried, Mullen, who was walking in front, also had a gloomy expression.
"Don't worry too much. I will continue to fight tomorrow to contain the Tang Army's Chang'an ship. In any case, Mulu City cannot be breached so early!" Mu Lun made up his mind. He was seriously injured today, and it stands to reason that he should not continue to play, but the situation is such that he must take a big risk to play with injuries.
Xi Luchi's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "The Tang Army's Chang'an ship is very powerful. If the Caliphate fights again, what if there is something..."
Mu Lun waved his hand to interrupt the other party, "Although the Chang'an ship is powerful, I have observed it for a day today, and I am not without experience. Tomorrow I will take the priests to battle. As long as the tactics are proper, holding down a Chang'an ship is not a problem.
"Today, the army has reached the edge of the cliff, and the defense line of Mulu City must be held for a month and a half!"
Seeing that Ma Lun had made up his mind, Xi Luchi knew that it would be useless to talk more, so he could only bow his head and accept orders. At the same time, he also made up his mind that he must protect Mu Lun in the battle tomorrow, and even if he dies in battle, he will not let the other party be in danger.
"I received news from Nisa City today that Garriji successfully ambushed and killed nearly 300 monks from the Tang Dynasty through the plan of 'leading the snake out of the hole'. A few people from the other side escaped, and the Overwatch Council is hunting them down." After discussing the current battle situation, Xi Luchi Report the implementation of the call-up order as usual.
Marlon nodded slightly, "The strategy of the Great Temple is good, and it is well implemented, and it is not surprising that this result can be achieved.
"The meticulous power of the Tang Dynasty in our country is indeed shocking. The mere city of Nissa can gather nearly 300 elite monks capable of fighting. If they are not targeted this time, I am afraid that the recruitment will be greatly damaged. The order will affect the entire battle situation.”
Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and asked Xi Luchi: "How is the situation in other places? The plan of 'leading the snake out of the hole' is only successful in Nissa City?"
"Nisa City is close, so there must be movement first, and it is inevitable that the news will be the first to come. I believe that the situation in other places will come later." Xi Luchi explained.
Ma Lun nodded, looking at the brightly lit camp of the Tang army not far outside the city, his eyes flickered, and he said in a complicated tone: "Since the beginning of this battle, all kinds of fresh magic weapons in the Tang army have been appearing continuously. If there were no such things , How could the war be fought like this? Li Ye, how come there are so many wonderful ideas?"
Xi Luchi couldn't answer this question, and Marlon didn't want to answer it.
I hope he will answer.
Sighing, Ma Lun said slowly: "In any case, as long as the follow-up monks and supplies are in place on time, this war will mean a greater loss to us, and the victory belongs to us. Although the Tang army is strong, it will take a long time to conquer thousands of miles. It’s still too arrogant to seek profit.”
Xi Luchi quickly answered, "The conscripted monks and supplies will definitely arrive smoothly!"
The next day, the battle continued as usual. The difference is that because of the addition of the Chang'an ship, the Dashi Guards in Mulu City are even more disadvantaged.
Mu Lun led a group of elite monks, took advantage of his speed, and encircled several sides. He paid a high price, and finally entangled a Chang'an ship. His cultivation strength is still unstoppable, and with the cooperation of a master, he is naturally like a fish in water.
However, he was only able to entangle a Chang'an ship, and he was unable to board to seize the ship. Ordinary Dashi monks could not break through the Datang Daoists who guarded the Chang'an ship, and could not cooperate with him.
Although King Qi and Young Master Si Ming suffered heavy injuries yesterday, they have recovered a lot today and have not lost their combat power. They are now sitting on the Chang'an ship. If Mullen advances alone, he will not be able to get cheap in front of them and the French artillery of the Chang'an ship.
The other Chang'an ship, although it was also taken care of by the Dashi monk, was basically not affected. Under the salvo of French cannons and bed crossbows, the other party did not dare to approach it at all. In the end, it hovered outside Mulu City, continuously bombarding the city defense fortifications and the guard monks in the city.
With the cooperation of the Chang'an ship, the Huwei Army and the Habayashi Army invaded Mulu City for the first time, and started a brutal street battle with the guards in the city. The monks from the front teams of the two sides were mixed together, and the fight was inextricable, while the soldiers of the rear guards, who had no opponents in front of them, were bombed by the Chang'an ship in the air, and suffered heavy losses. It can be described as miserable.
In such an extremely unfavorable situation, the guards can still persist in fighting, which can be regarded as a strong military spirit.
In the next two days, the guards lost more than half of their soldiers, and the defense of Mulu City became even more difficult. Mu Lun himself was also seriously injured in the battle against the Chang'an ship. What is a little more exciting is that news came from several cities one after another, and they all thwarted the actions of the Tang Dynasty's spy through the plan of "leading the snake out of the hole".

A steady stream of monks and supplies are approaching the second line of defense. The soldiers of the Great Food are finally looking forward to it, and they are all hoping to retreat to the back as soon as possible.
Because of the huge pressure that Mulu City was under, Mu Lun kept strictly ordering the monks who were rushing over to speed up, asking them to march day and night. Right now, the secret work of the Tang Dynasty has been hit hard, and the threat has been lost. The security of the monks and materials that have been recruited has been greatly improved.
If the defense line of Mulu City was breached, the second line of defense was not established, and the strategic depth was not formed, causing the Tang army to drive straight in, it would be a real disaster.
...
It was day and night, it was raining heavily, and the surrounding fields were as dark as ink. After a long march, the team that set out from Nisa City stopped in a valley to take a rest.
Although the military order is to rush on the road day and night, the monks still need to eat, drink and scatter, and it is impossible to take a breath. The livestock in the supply camp were also very tired after pulling a huge amount of supplies, and needed to rest from time to time.
The high priest in charge, Galiji, was in a good mood.
He has been on the road for several days, for someone with his cultivation
As far as existence is concerned, it is nothing at all. Seeing that he was about to enter the eastern war zone, Garrigi became anxious and planned to show his face in front of Mullen this time.
In less than half an hour, Garrigi ordered the team to continue on their way, and the originally quiet team immediately became noisy again. All kinds of shouts, actions, complaints, and the sounds of livestock combined together, making this rainy night particularly irritable.
Soon, Garriji noticed that in front of a forest, there were dozens of monks making loud noises, as if they were arguing with each other, the voices were very loud. In a blink of an eye, there was a flash of inspiration, the sound of an explosion, followed by roars, screams, and the sound of drawing a knife out of its sheath was clear and piercing, and dozens of people fought together in an instant.
The area of influence of the cultivator's spell was not small, and the riot expanded within a short time, hundreds of people were involved, and the scene seemed to be out of control for a while. The people around quickly dodged, and the monks of the Great Temple who maintained order quickly stepped forward, so that the melee did not spread to more people.
"What's going on?" Galighi flew to the scene of the incident with a dark face.
The scene was extremely chaotic. A group of monks from Nissa City were fighting with another group of monks, and some people were in conflict with the team's manager, the monks of the Great Temple. They were very angry with each other, and their moves were all killing moves. Twenty or thirty people had already fallen on the ground, and bloodstains spread in the muddy water, winding like snakes under the light of the torches.
"Reporting to the high priest, the specific situation is not clear, but it seems to be a group of troublemakers who dislike the tiring work of pulling carts..." A monk hurried over to answer. There are still several monks holding whips and wearing the costumes of the Great Temple lying on the ground. This situation is not difficult to guess.
Galliji scowled.
The team carried a lot of supplies, and the livestock were not enough. Many monks were sent to pull carts. In order to speed up the journey, it was inevitable that they would not have enough rest. It was not surprising that there were complaints. But to the extent of killing people by hand, this violates military discipline and should not be done.
Before Garrigi personally gave the order, many monks from the Great Temple nearby came over, isolated the conflicting crowd, and prepared to kill and suppress the troublemakers.
At this moment, there was an even more uproar from elsewhere. The exclamation, screams and curses of the crowd were extremely loud. When Garrigi turned his head, he saw a large group of flames rising into the sky, as if something had been burned .
"High priest, several trucks pulling kerosene caught fire for some reason, and there was an explosion. The kerosene burned many people. We are dealing with it!" A big monk rushed to report.
Garriji was furious, kerosene is a highly regulated material, it is indestructible when exposed to water, and it is extremely effective in defending the city. How could it suddenly explode and be set on fire
"Who is managing the kerosene? Bring it here!" Galiji was annoyed. Although it may be troublesome to hurry up, but the sudden explosion of kerosene is still too abnormal for monks to kill people at every turn, and the impact will not be small. If it cannot be controlled quickly, it will cause greater chaos and delay the speed of the team.
"Yes, this subordinate..." The big monk who came to report leaned over and said this, and suddenly pulled out a short blade from his sleeve, and when there was no time to go, stabbed Jiali Ji's chest like lightning!
Garrigi never expected this kind of change. He was paying attention to the chaotic place when he was annoyed. He never expected that the big monk who came to report to him, his subordinates, would suddenly attack him. !
