Chapter 196: Capture the Fire Dragon Pass and determine the merits of the military world (6K)
As a formation base city, Yuanyue City did not consider the defense of the city itself when it was first established.
Its defense standards are not as good as Wang Ji's methods in City No. 92.
At least Wang Gong knew how to arrange several anti-escape formations under the city wall!
But there is no such thing in Yuanyue City.
Due to the confidence in the Fire Dragon Pass, Yuanyue City and other cities in the pass do not have anti-escape formations.
There are some mechanisms, but these mechanisms are not for resisting escape at all, but for extracting the power of the earth's veins.
Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie had prepared the firecracker arrangements yesterday.
The only difficulty is to be careful when escaping.
Because fifth-level firecrackers are really flammable and explosive, and Full Moon City is built on fire veins. If something goes wrong while sneaking, your own people will be in trouble.
"Set off!"
Chen Shijie gave the order.
One hundred magic evasion magicians and Sinong all headed towards Yuanyue City with a large number of firecrackers.
"Divine protection!"
Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and a large firecracker was enveloped in golden light and sank into the ground.
Then he shuttled underground carrying firecrackers.
Yuanyue City is as big as 25 football fields.
But there aren't actually that many parts to fry.
It is enough for the city lord's palace in Basda and the four judicial formations of Yuanyue City to be blown up.
The most important of them is the city lord's palace in Batha.
Because this is the core of Yuanyue City.
The formations distributed at the four corners of Yuan Yue City were blown up. These four nodes were destroyed. The defense formations in the southern section of Yuan Yue City and Huolong Pass were only cut off and could still be repaired.
But if the City Lord's Mansion is blown up, it will have to be completely rebuilt. As Pang Guangyao said, it will take three or four months to rebuild it.
This part can only be done by Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing.
Why?
Because no one else can fully utilize the power of firecrackers, and the magic circle under the city lord's mansion is relatively complicated.
When a hundred people were sneaking underground to the outside of the city, Chen Shijie sent an order to everyone through the earth's veins.
"The four groups of personnel retreated in unison after half an hour, and detonated five quarters of an hour later!"
"After half an hour, no matter whether the arrangements are in place or not, we have to retreat! Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Chen Shijie said: "The action starts from now on!"
Buzz~
After that, a hundred people dispersed in multiple directions at the bottom of the city.
Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie continued to sneak towards the city lord's mansion in the center.
They carry the largest amount.
The road to go through is also more complicated.
As the core of the formation, the City Lord's Mansion is pressed against the fire veins, and it is really difficult to sneak through it if it is weak.
Two quarters of an hour later, Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing stopped.
"We're here, ahead is the Fiery Dragon Formation."
In the earth vein in front, there is a dragon-shaped flame beating. The dragon's head is huge, its mouth is opened, and it is facing downwards.
Countless amounts of earth fire power were drawn into the dragon's head, and then transformed through the magic circle and transported to the small fortresses around Yuanyue City.
The small fortresses around Yuanyue City are equivalent to formation base transfer stations.
Finally, they gathered at Huolongguan City.
The Guancheng section is the most vulnerable part of the Flame Mountain Range, but after many complex formations have been superimposed, it has become the strongest pass.
"Split up, I'll start from the earthquake position, you start from... uh, I'll start from the southeast, you start from the southwest." Zhao Xing was halfway through, and then he remembered that Lao Chen didn't know the knowledge about Gongjia's magic circle.
He immediately changed his tune.
"Don't look down on people." Chen Shijie said, "Since I came back last time, I have been supplementing my basic knowledge of magic circles."
"The separation position is fire, and the exchange position is water. You asked me to start the layout from the southwest. Isn't the principle that the separation and exchange positions can maximize the power of the firecrackers?"
"When you set off firecrackers from the seismic position, don't you just want to use the power of the firecrackers to destroy the outlet of the Fire Dragon Formation, causing the ground fire to condense and eventually self-destruct?"
"Awesome!" Zhao Xing gave a thumbs up.
"What's so great? Who doesn't know how to learn? It's just a trivial matter." Chen Shijie said calmly: "While you were farming in Dongsang City, I was not idle either."
Although he said this, looking at Zhao Xing's stunned expression, Chen Shijie felt secretly happy.
I read at night for more than half a month, and finally I was quietly amazed by this guy. My efforts were not in vain!
Now that Lao Chen knows it, it will be more convenient.
Zhao Xing carefully rolled up the firecrackers and controlled the Octagonal Underground Palace to approach.
He and Chen Shijie each brought one hundred fifth-grade firecrackers, a total of one thousand four hundred firecrackers.
The power of fifth-level firecrackers is calculated based on each section.
The power of a single fifth-level top-grade firecracker is enough to penetrate the defense of a fifth-level armor.
If we were to blow up the city lord's palace in other places, just relying on these 1,400 firecrackers would not be enough.
Because the location they are currently sneaking into is relatively deep, two hundred meters below.
Moreover, the foundation of the City Lord's Mansion is so solid that it is simply not enough to blow it up.
But this is the Full Moon City, itself built on a powder keg.
The fifth-level firecracker only needs to light this powder keg.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Xing summoned him and asked:
"Done?"
"It's still a little bit close." Chen Shijie was not so quick, "Please check it for me and see if there are any errors or omissions."
"Okay." Zhao Xing finished his work and immediately came to review the firecrackers placed by Chen Shijie.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and the agreed retreat time was approaching. Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie cross-checked twice.
After confirming that there was no problem, we immediately began to retreat.
After the two left, only firecrackers were left buried underground, wrapped in golden light.
Action personnel know how to do this.
Because this is not a spell at all, it just attaches vitality to the firecrackers and wraps them.
As long as it reaches the eighth level, its ability to control vitality can do this, and it will automatically dissipate after three quarters of an hour.
Without the vitality package, the firecrackers will soon explode in the hot underground.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie took the lead in arriving underground outside the city.
The remaining personnel returned to their positions one after another.
Another quarter of an hour later, one hundred operatives were completely present, and no one had any accidents.
"withdraw!"
Chen Shijie immediately gave the order.
It would detonate in only a quarter of an hour, and they had to stay away, otherwise they would be affected.
In the city lord's mansion, Batha woke up from her dream.
The two beauties from the Fire Demon Clan next to him also woke up.
"What's the matter, sir?"
Basda covered her head and said, "I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that I was dead."
Tiangang Disha's physical training, Basda, a sixth-grade warrior, has seven souls that are already very powerful.
The seven souls feed back the soul of life, and the soul of life can often interact with the soul of heaven and the soul of earth, and can get some precognitive responses.
These reactions are generally related to 'rebirth' and 'karma'.
Therefore, the more advanced warriors are, the harder it is for them to be attacked by surprise, because their vigilance will be very high.
"How could it be possible? We are in the Fire Dragon Pass..."
"Shut up!" Bathida pushed the beauty away irritably, quickly put on her clothes and opened the door, "Here comes someone!"
"City Lord!" Two guards immediately ran outside the door.
"Go and find the Hope mechanic. I want to go underground to check." Basda thought about it and decided to patrol the underground.
"In addition, send someone to Guanqiang to see if there are any enemy troops attacking the city."
"yes."
Soon, a fire demon tribesman with a unique appearance came over. He was carrying a machine box and was lame in one corner.
"Dear Lord of Basda, are you looking for me?"
"Hope, please inspect the underground magic circle with me." Basda said, "See if there are any problems."
"This..." Hope was stunned, why would Bathida think of such a thing?
Did he discover something?
"What's wrong?"
"Lord City Lord, it's just some small things." Hope looked stiff.
Basda noticed that Hope was hesitating, and immediately shouted, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
Under Basil's questioning, Hope had no choice but to tell the truth.
During routine maintenance last month, he removed several protective formations, including the anti-escape formation.
They also cut corners and replaced the base materials of the sixteen magic arrays with inferior ones.
In short, this guy is corrupt.
He thought he was discovered by Basil, so he immediately took the initiative to recruit him.
"You, you bastard!" The uneasiness in Basda's heart became more and more intense. He grabbed Hope's neck and said fiercely: "Take someone down quickly to check and make up what needs to be made up!"
"You bastards, the Earth Fire Lotus was stolen last month, how dare you be so careless!"
Hope said so, but in his heart he didn't care.
The Earth Fire Lotus was stolen, what does that have to do with my place?
Aren’t you also having fun all day long?
But he still quickly called someone, took Batha with him, and took a special passage to dive underground.
Not long after the dive, Basil's uneasiness became more intense.
But when we got there, this feeling of uneasiness reached its peak!
"Huh? What is that?"
Arriving underground, Basda immediately saw the faint golden light floating next to the underground magic circle.
People around Hope also looked over.
Seeing this, Hope suddenly felt like she was dead.
"That, that's..." Hope was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and her hands and feet were weak.
Bastard grabbed Hope, "You bastard, tell me clearly!"
The others screamed:
"Oh my god, that's a fifth-level firecracker!"
"So many, and they're about to explode!"
"Run away!"
"What?!"
Basil turned his head and looked over.
I saw the first golden ball of light extinguished.
"Bang!"
The strong explosion sound immediately exploded the surrounding rocks.
"Huh~" A corner of the faucet that was sucking in the earth fire was suddenly blown open.
Then came the second, third, fourth... Thousands of golden lights went out.
"Boom boom boom!"
A blazing light appeared in front of Batha's eyes.
Afterwards, his consciousness completely fell into darkness.
Pang Guangyao stood in the mountain forest, looking at the Yuanyue City in the distance.
He knew very little about Sinong, and he had no idea what this specialty and Dazhou's firecrackers were.
He only knew that 'Xia Jing' took a hundred people to Yuanyue City, but the army stayed here.
"Isn't it a bit overwhelming?"
"Just a hundred people want to take over Yuanyue City?"
"In order to prevent the news from leaking, shouldn't all three thousand people be killed together to minimize the leakage of the news?"
"Is he Xia Jing?"
Pang Guangyao was full of doubts.
But at this moment, 'Xia Jing' ran back with someone else.
"Prince..." Pang Guangyao couldn't help but ask.
"The entire army is ordered to retreat! Retreat!"
Chen Shijie roared angrily!
But at this time, the earth shook.
"Boom~"
"Boom, boom, boom~"
"Sift sieve sieve~" The trees in the mountain forest also kept shaking.
The ground began to shake violently, and Pang Guangyao watched the soil in the distance arch up into a small hill.
"Kakaka~" Not far away, a crack that spanned several kilometers suddenly appeared.
"What's going on?" Pang Guangyao's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly flew up.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a scene he would never forget.
"boom!"
The Yuanyue City in the distance started to fly!
Yes, it flew.
It suddenly rose hundreds of meters higher!
Like a city on fire!
The entire city flew hundreds of meters into the air in an instant, and then Pang Guangyao watched helplessly as it disintegrated and disappeared completely in an instant.
It has completely disappeared, with no residue at all!
Until then, a dazzling light burst out from the original location of Yuanyue City.
The blazing light even made Pang Guangyao subconsciously raise his hands to shield his eyes.
The shock wave is visible to the naked eye and sweeps in all directions.
A mushroom cloud rose, the ground seemed to be boiling, and the soil on the ground swept away like waves.
"What?!" Pang Guangyao was startled, and immediately retreated back, raising his body at the same time.
"boom!"
Until a shock wave swept through the mountain forest.
Only then did Pang Guangyao hear a loud noise.
"Zizzizi~"
"Boom~"
"Crackling~"
At this time, Pang Guangyao saw that the mountains and forests below were swept away by the shock wave.
The shock wave was filled with flames, and in an instant, the forest was ignited.
The sounds of burning, explosions, commands, and many other sounds were mixed together.
Pang Guangyao followed 'Xia Jing' to retreat in a daze.
There are three assembled simple airships in the Pioneer Camp, each of which can hold a thousand people.
At this time, the three flying boats were like candles in the wind, swaying in the wind.
Before it could fly very far, it fell hard to the ground again.
Fortunately, this distance is far enough, and the power of the shock wave has also weakened a lot.
The flying boat did not disintegrate.
Pang Guangyao flew to the side of 'Xia Jing' and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, what happened!"
"Yuanyue City, why, why is it gone?"
Zhao Xing looked at the Yuanyue City disappearing in the distance. He was panicking just now, but at this time he still said calmly: "As you can see, of course we blew it up."
"Exploded?" Pang Guangyao couldn't understand Zhao Xing's words at all.
How could a government city covering an area of 100,000 acres be bombed?
Chen Shijie looked ahead with lingering fear.
"Yes, we need to test the use of firecrackers in different regions in the future. The amount this time is too large."
The effect of the firecrackers this time was extraordinary!
First, the firecrackers trained by Zhao Xing are all fifth-level firecrackers, and the overall grade is better than those used by Chen Shijie before. Most of them are fifth-level top-grade firecrackers, top-grade firecrackers, and a few are middle-low-grade.
The second is that Yuanyue City is located on the fire vein and itself is absorbing the power of earth fire.
Third, because of Hope and others' cutting corners, the power of the firecrackers was not blocked by its own defensive array and was fully unleashed.
Expect the enemy to be lenient. When Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing made their plans, they both thought too strongly about the Full Moon City.
So there were lots of firecrackers.
The combination of many factors has resulted in the current effect.
Yuan Yue City, as well as dozens of surrounding fortresses, were all wiped out in this wave of explosions.
Not to mention the people, even the stones melted.
If he hadn't been running fast and noticed something was wrong, I'm afraid one of his own people would have had to account for something in this explosion.
"Yeah, I'll have to do it less in the future." Zhao Xing also agreed.
This time, the two people's phobia of lack of firepower was cured directly.
In the future, we will still have to allocate rations.
"Prince, who are you?" Pang Guangyao couldn't help but said. He looked at Zhao Xing at this moment as if he were looking at a devil.
In the blink of an eye, the full moon city disappeared, which even made Pang Guangyao feel scared.
What kind of person did you follow?
"Now that things have happened, I don't need to hide it from you anymore." Zhao Xing clapped his hands and stood up, "The person standing in front of you is Zhao Xing, the ninth commander of the Divine Power Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who belongs to the ninth division of the Divine Power Army.
Lieutenant Commander Liao Rulong commanded the Jiujie Camp."
"Shenwei Army?" Pang Guangyao was dumbfounded. He really got into the wrong car!
"But there's one thing I didn't lie to you. Xia Jing and I do have a connection. He is my life-and-death friend. We trained together in Shiyang Cave, and this time the two armies are fighting side by side."
"What I promised you is equivalent to what Xia Jing promised you. Is the tauren who delivers the letter to you named Ye Chongxian?"
Pang Guangyao nodded.
He does know Ye Chongxian's real name.
"That's it." Zhao Xing looked at the thunder in the strong wind layer on the horizon and showed a smile. He walked over and patted Pang Guangyao on the shoulder, "General Pang, the army will break through the barrier soon. Can you confirm this?"
The title of General Zhou depends on you."
On September 16, the Shenwei Army, Xuanjia Army, and Zhenhai Army approached Huolong Pass.
I thought that these Zhou troops were here to die. At this moment, in the southern section of Huolong Pass, there was a sudden explosion that shook the world.
The magic circle suddenly became ineffective for four hours!
Liao Rulong's troops drove the dragon head tower boat directly through the pass, and 5,000 people boarded the thousand-meter-high Huolong Pass.
The main defender of the city, Yue Haisheng, hurried to the city to supervise the battle, led ten thousand barbarians to try to exterminate the enemy troops, and ordered people to rush to repair the magic formations inside and outside the pass.
The two sides fought fiercely for less than two quarters of an hour.
Immediately afterwards, the formations in the northern part of Guanshan and the Guankou section failed one after another.
The effectiveness of the entire defensive formation has been reduced to its lowest effectiveness in the past two hundred years.
Hundreds of warships from the Zhenhai Navy sailed to the top of Huolong Pass without any hindrance.
Dark flame warship, three-leaf warship, dragon head tower ship...
The God-Destroying Crossbow, the Soul-Destroying Crossbow Cart, the Soul-Returning Cart, the Heavy Water Catapult, the Tianluo Throwing Formation... the pinnacle craftsmanship of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the intensive bombing defense formation.
The barrier became dim and dull, and in just a short moment, the defensive formation of Huolong Pass was completely defeated.
The Euphorbia battalion of Wen Shaoyang's tribe and the Longqi battalion of Xuanjia army followed Liao Rulong's tribe and boarded the pass one after another.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yue Haisheng led the remaining troops to escape from Huolong Pass, and the banner of the Great Zhou was erected in Huolong Pass, which stretched for nearly forty miles.
Due to the disparity in numbers and force, this majestic pass that had stood for thousands of years was destroyed in just one afternoon.
September 16th and 17th, these two days are completely the time for the three armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty to reap their military exploits.
After the pass was broken, the Fire Demon Clan's defenders turned into walking warriors.
No matter in terms of numbers or strength, they are simply not comparable to Zhou's army.
"Pfft~"
Purple fingers pierced the head of a seventh-level barbarian general, and the lightning burned his entire body.
"Plop~" The seventh-level barbarian general and the spear he was holding suddenly fell to the ground.
"Drink! Ho!"
On the ground, a phalanx holding a three-meter-long halberd was moving rapidly below.
When the corpse fell from a height of 200 meters and reached 100 meters, it was suddenly torn apart by a thousand-meter-long bloody spurge in the air and turned into powder.
"It's Lin Ze, the captain under Wen Shaoyang."
"The Euphorbia Soldier Battalion is composed of all eighth-level warriors. They are in a battle formation of Qi and Blood, and the Euphorbia Soldiers are like a forest." Zhao Xing just finished chasing down a barbarian soldier and saw the Euphorbia Warrior Camp below.
One hundred meters above the Euphorbia phalanx, in addition to a bloody spurge, there was also a phantom military flag two hundred meters above.
"The fighting spirit flag of the Shenwei Army." Zhao Xing looked at the flag. "This fighting spirit flag is similar to my solar term order."
"However, my solar terms order replaces the solar terms of heaven and earth, but this war spirit flag forms the realm of war spirits."
"Under the cover of this military flag, the willpower and soul of all warriors have been greatly improved."
"As the will and life soul increase, its combat effectiveness will also increase, and it will always be at its peak."
"However, the real bonus is the battle formation below."
Zhao Xing took a closer look at the Euphorbia phalanx led by Lin Ze.
This bloody spurge is completely made of condensed Qi and blood.
There seemed to be invisible pillars of light connecting a thousand eighth-grade Euphorbia warriors below.
The largest bloody light beam enveloped Lin Ze.
"When the qi-blood battle formation of the Euphorbia warriors is formed, Lin Ze, a captain of the seventh rank, will have the combat power of the sixth rank."
"In addition, Lin Ze does not need to pass orders through other means. Its fighting thoughts will be instantly transmitted to the minds of a thousand Euphorbia warriors."
"One thousand and one hundred people, just like one body!"
"Any soldier who is injured can recover from the injury with the Bloody Euphorbia, because the injuries are evenly distributed."
"The same goes for the recovery of vitality. The bloody spurge will continue to seize the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth, and even the vitality of life." Zhao Xing felt the surge of energy and blood, and a pulling force came from below, and he couldn't help but straighten up a little.
.
"Lin Ze's Euphorbia Soldier Battalion has reached the fifth level of battle formation. The bloody Euphorbia can break through all kinds of magic."
"Suppose I encounter this kind of battle formation. Except for the high-level magic of Soaring Snake Transformation, which can reach level 6, it is impossible for the other high-level magic to seriously injure him, and he has to be defeated by his thousands of people.
His martial arts will impacted his mind."
"If you practice this kind of battle formation to level five, it will be very effective against the Master's team." Zhao Xing secretly thought.
At this time, what the Euphorbia battalion phalanx was chasing was a group of fire demon warlocks.
Occasionally a group of sorcerers will try to fight back with spells.
However, any spell that comes within the range covered by the battle spirit flag will first be weakened by 30%.
Immediately afterwards, it was weakened by 70% by the 'bloody spurge' in the sky.
Falling into the Euphorbia phalanx was almost painless.
Because this is Wen Shaoyang's most elite Euphorbia warrior battalion, the fifth-level blood energy battle formation needs to be honed over a long period of time. The soldiers and soldiers must be one, and the exercises and martial arts must be exactly the same to achieve this effect.
Zhao Xing has not seen such an elite Euphorbia battalion for a long time.
"Zhao Xing, what are you doing?" A familiar voice came. Zhao Xing turned around and saw that it was Xia Jing who was riding a flying dragon.
His black armored dragon cavalry battalion was also chasing and killing the deserters.
"If you don't gain military exploits at this time, what are you waiting for?" Xia Jing said, "Hurry up and chop off your head. Now the three armies have launched judicial Yin Shen patrols and mirage bead records."
"No one of the heads cut off at this time will be missed."
"Got it!" Zhao Xing smiled, and immediately Tengyun chased him in one direction.
On September 19, after the Huolong Pass was destroyed, the pursuit of the barbarians came to an end.
There were only tens of thousands of people in the first place, which was not enough to kill everyone in Dazhou.
Zhao Xing also participated in this kind of merit hunting, but there are unwritten rules in the army. At this time, senior generals will not compete with low-level soldiers for merit.
A free pursuit battle like this is a period of pure achievement. Zhao Xing is at the seventh level, so he has to kill the seventh-level enemies, unless he is surrounded by a group of eighth-level enemies and has no choice but to do so.
Otherwise, it would be too unkind if all the military exploits belong to the senior generals and the subordinates have no military exploits at all.
The evening of September 20th.
The Battle of Huolong Pass came to an end, and the news spread, causing a sensation in the entire Pingman War Zone.
No one expected that the eastern front, which had always been considered the least likely to achieve a breakthrough, would achieve such great results.
The Fire Dragon Pass, which had stood for thousands of years, was actually killed by the Shenwei Army.
The news swept across the entire war zone quickly like the wind.
Its influence began to ferment in different places, not only the Great Zhou Dynasty but also the Golden Feather Royal Court...
At this time, Zhao Xing, Xia Jing, Wen Shaoyang, Liao Rulong, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao and others gathered in a castle in Huolongguan.
Because the military merit judgment has arrived.
