Chapter 122 Swords and Swords
At noon, the sun shines on the golden top of the Chenji Palace. Under the Yongchuan River in Wangcheng, the demon horse cavalry regiment is ready to go. Looking down from the front of the Chenji Palace, the golden iron horse on the square is full of momentum to swallow mountains and rivers.
Standing in the front of the team is the commander of the Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment, who is also a member of the Amber Dragon King's command. The body of the hedge ghost is a small mountain-sized green cow, and it is most appropriate to describe him as hard as he pulls up the mountain. Since the Amber Dragon King took over Dongyao, he has followed him from the bodyguard to rise step by step, and finally became the head of the largest cavalry regiment in Dongyao and even the demon world.
He is also extremely upright and brave in battle. The only shortcoming is that he is not very flexible, which also responds to the nature of cattle. Fortunately, the cavalry regiment is mainly used to be a pioneer, and there is no need to have too much wisdom.
This hedge ghost also has a quirk, that is, an almost blind worship of the Amber Dragon King. At that time, I heard that the Dragon King originally had a divine spirit, and was exiled to the demon world by the gods because he fell in love with a woman on earth, he was completely subdued by his legendary color and romantic atmosphere. So much so that he obeyed the words of the Amber Dragon King and would never allow anyone to question his resolution.
Last year, he came to Yongchuan, Wangcheng with the young master Qianqi, and took the team to do nothing under the city for several months. Although he insisted on training every day, it was still difficult to prevent the soldiers in the soldiers from becoming lax. He believed that this time as the pioneer army to solve the problem of Tucheng Qingyang was a good opportunity for the army to regroup.
As soon as the time of the expedition arrived, the golden phalanx gradually turned into a golden line along the tortuous mountain road in the direction of Tucheng Qingyang.
The remaining old soldiers of the demon clan are less than 1,000, while the demon horse cavalry regiment is a large army of 5,000 people, and the soldiers are in their prime. It is reasonable that they have an absolute advantage in terms of momentum and number.
But the art of war is exquisite. If you want to win the war, you have to rely on the right time, place and people. Not to mention the natural environment for the time being, the complex terrain of Tucheng Qingyang and the determination of the demon clan to unite to protect the last demon son should not be underestimated.
Qingyun didn't know how to know in advance that Wangcheng had sent a demon horse cavalry regiment, so he immediately sent someone to report to the red-eared demon spirit. Although the red-eared demon spirit was a little flustered after hearing it, it soon calmed down, and his eyes turned to his mind.
When he decided to protect the statue of the ape red demon to keep Kui alive, he divided the summoned demon warriors into seven teams, guarded seven layers, and distinguished them in seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple. He also appointed the seven people with the most combat experience as captains. At this moment, he quickly summoned the seven people to the palace where he temporarily lived, and began to discuss countermeasures.
"I just got the news that Wangcheng sent 5,000 demon-horse cavalry regiments to suppress our army. What do you think?" The red-eared demon asked directly.
"What? Does this mean that Wangcheng will completely declare war on our Tucheng Qingyang? The captain of the red team with a red belt on his arm asked.
"Ouyang Hongye, the fox, deliberately did not use the army under the royal city, but used Dongyao's cavalry regiment to make outsiders look at most the two cities competing between Dongyao and Qingyang." The red-eared demon gritted his teeth and said.
He admired Ouyang Hongye's scheming more and more. If anyone has an ally like him, he will get twice the result with half the effort. Unfortunately, he was destined to be his enemy from the beginning.
"It seems that we have to take out our secret weapons, right?" The captain of the blue team with a blue belt around his neck suggested.
The secret weapon in his mouth is the hundreds of giant cannons built to prevent foreign enemies from being invaded in the future when the ape red demon managed the earth city Qingyang. These artillery draws on the principles of Ming Dynasty artillery, but also has also made certain improvements.
The whole gun body and two wheels are made of pure copper. At the front end of the gun body tube, there is an opening with a diameter larger than the body tube. The gunpowder chamber is connected to the body tube and has an ignition hole with a lead. The chamber wall of the gunpowder chamber is slightly thicker than the body tube. This design is designed to withstand greater chamber pressure.
These guns have been secretly hidden in the underground of all floors of the city, and will never be used easily until last resort, and the captain of the Blue Team thinks that it may be the last resort moment.
"The artillery is extremely lethal, and the cannonball will definitely blow up as soon as it comes out. But at the beginning, our idea was to guard the Qiyin Gate and the Futu Hall to prevent the demon king fox from destroying the bronze statue. In this way, we would completely break with the royal city. Not only that, but we also offended such a powerful person as the Amber Dragon King. I think it's better to take a long-term perspective. The speaker is the captain of the Orange Team with an orange belt hanging on the top of the helmet, and he is also the old man who played the pipa before.
"Since we agreed to Qingyun's conditions, we have no way out! Qingyun is the father-killing enemy of the demon king fox, and also the enemy of the whole demon world. Do you think the king city will let us go now? The red-eared demon retorted with a little excitement. He was determined to save his son, even if he was doomed.
"I also agree to use the artillery and rely on the stepped terrain of Qingyang to place the artillery in a fan-shaped layer. It must be more difficult for them to break through our defense than to reach the sky." The captain of the blue team echoed. He was already a good fighter, and he was excited to think that he could fight with Dongyao's elite troops at this age.
"You shouted the most vigorously and said that it was for the last son of the demon. Why did you retreat now?" The captain of the purple team with a purple belt on his waist was also stirring up trouble, making fun of the captain of the orange team.
"Good!" The captain of the Orange Team no longer worried after what he said. He gritted his teeth and answered, "Do as you say!" I'm going to risk it too!"
Several captains and the Red-eared Demon Spirit reached an agreement, and then returned to the floor they managed to arrange the artillery. The purple team is responsible for the top layer. This layer of artillery has the longest barrel and the longest firing distance. By analogy, each layer of artillery can effectively attack the city.
After Wangyue accidentally opened the logo in the seven-tone gate guarded by the Red Team, she wanted to find an opportunity to continue to look for other clues in the seven-tone gate elsewhere. As soon as he was about to leave, he caught the return of the captain of the Red Team. He gathered all the soldiers of the Red Team and explained to his soldiers how to place the artillery and their specific location.
Wangyue, who was mixed in it, knew the power of the artillery, thinking that no matter how powerful the demon horse cavalry regiment was, it was not their opponent. Although it is inconvenient for them to come forward, they can go out of the city to find several people in the intelligence group and ask them to intercept the cavalry to remind them of this change.
It's just that the warriors standing around are full of the demon clan. They want to walk away from under their eyes without being suspected. At this imminent moment, every minute of delay makes him scratch his heart and heart. In a hurry, he bowed his waist and covered his abdomen and pretended to be in a hurry. He ran to one side regardless.
There were bursts of sarcastic laughter behind them. They didn't expect that the most simple and stuffy gourd usually had a lazy donkey grinding. As soon as he asked them to prepare the artillery, he pretended to be lazy.
Wang Yue ran all the way to the secret passage when he entered the city. He saw that the entrance of the cave had been blocked by a big stone. He reached out and called out one of the moon shadow knives and pried the big stone aside, and then entered the cave and rushed out of the city.
The four people in the intelligence group were still lurking outside the city. Looking at Wangyue, who was wearing a demon armor from afar, they couldn't help but get nervous and opened their heads to prepare for the battle.
Unexpectedly, when the man came to him and took off his helmet, it turned out to be the moon. He said anxiously, "I don't know how the red-eared demon spirit knew that Wangcheng sent a demon horse cavalry regiment to Tucheng Qingyang. Now they are planning to pull out all the hidden artillery in the city to fight. Although I didn't see the gun with my own eyes, according to It is said that there are hundreds of vehicles. You quickly stop the cavalry regiment on the road, tell the head of the cavalry regiment about the artillery, and ask him to think about the countermeasures in advance.
"Okay!" After hearing this, Changfeng only left the old five shadow demon to guard the bones of Mole Xiaoqi, and he immediately took the scorpion and red lotus to meet the demon horse cavalry regiment.
In less than half a day, the artillery had been fanned from top to bottom as expected, and flags representing the color of their own teams were also erected on each floor. After the cavalry regiment from Wangcheng entered their range, if they wanted to move forward, they would ignite the fuse to blow up their armor.
At this time, the real stuffy gourd woke up and only felt that the back of his neck was painful and swollen. Just as he wanted to recall why he suddenly fainted to the ground, he found that the armor on his body was missing. At this time, he suddenly realized that it was the people of the king's city who sneaked into the city and attacked him.
He felt that he had to report to the captain immediately, so he walked in the direction of the emblem gate that he was responsible for guarding before, but he was shocked by the scene in front of him. Since these cannons were built 700 years ago, they have never been used. At this moment, the muzzles of hundreds of artillery guns rushing out of the city are really shocking.
"Duffocating gourd, why did you throw your helmet and come back at your convenience?" The companion who was in charge of the guard with him asked before, and his voice pulled him back to reality.
Where's the captain? I want to see the captain!" The stuffy gourd grabbed him and asked.
"Team... The team captain is over there!" The companion pointed to one side and answered, because he had never seen the stuffy gourd speak so loudly, which made him stammer.
After he explained that he was attacked and stolen his armor to the captain of the Red Team, the captain didn't think so. In his opinion, it would be better if the people of the royal city knew the existence of artillery. Maybe they would flee back in horror before they arrived at the city.
But he was worried about the change of the emblem, so he decided to check in the room where the change was hidden, but found that the gate had been opened. This means that the people in the royal city may have fully mastered the secret of the seven-tone gate, which worries him more than any demon horse cavalry regiment. He quickly ran to the royal palace in the upper city.
There was a pungent smell of medicine in the courtyard of Wangzi Palace. The red-eared magic spirit just boiled the elixir for his son Kui, and he took a bowl and brought it to his son's room.
Kui is no different from usual. He is lying asleep, with deep concave eyes and collapsed cheeks, which is heartbreaking. Even for more than 20 years, my son has always been like this, but the red-eared demon will still cry every time he sees it. He put the medicine aside, sat up with Kui in his arms, and then patted him on the face.
Kui opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw that it was his father, he closed it again, but his mouth opened slightly and waited for his father to feed the medicine.
The red-eared demon spirit scooped out a small mouth with a spoon and blew it into his son's mouth, then wiped the medicine overflowing from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then continued to feed him a second mouthful... He kept feeding the whole bowl of medicine.
As he hugged his son and lay down again, he sighed and said, "Kui, believe in your father, you will be saved!" Be sure to hold on a little longer. Your pain will end soon!"
Kui snorted from his mouth, responded to him, and then fell asleep again.
He pushed the door and walked back to his room, with an armor made of lizard scale hanging on the shelf facing the door. He stepped forward and stroked the sharp lizard scales on the armor, let it cut one of its fingers, and then stared at the bright red blood drops between his fingers and said to himself, "It's time for you to appear!"
