Fulu Rubik's Cube

Chapter 880 Fire!fire!fire!
The seventh day of April in the third and fifth year of the lunar calendar.

The grass grows and the warbler flies, and everything recovers.

'North Bow City' is the third wall of the inner city.

The soldiers of "Suzaku Kingdom" in red battle armor and the sergeants of "Leaving Soul Mountain" in black heavy armor fought fiercely together.

On the top of the city, outside the city walls, and among the ruins, every inch of land with a radius of hundreds of miles is covered with red and black figures.

It's like two different oil-based paints poured into the water, mixing together like oil and water, but colliding, surging, and melting as clearly as the tide of the sea.

The scream of killing was earth-shattering.

Numerous magical auras completely disrupted the vitality of the heaven and earth for hundreds of miles nearby, and the sky filled with fire, lightning, ice and snow covered every corner of the battlefield.

All kinds of war equipment or throwing fireballs like meteorites hit the fronts of both sides, blowing up the black and red figures and flying them up.

Or shoot out giant crossbow arrows several feet long, piercing the soldiers of both sides who were fighting together into candied haws.

There are also thunder towers, windmills and other objects, or rolling out thunder and lightning to blow up the crowd on the ground into coke, or spinning a huge wind tornado to tear countless people into pieces.

The battles over the past few years have caused heavy casualties on both sides. Everyone has relatives, friends, and brothers who died in this battlefield like a flesh and blood mill.

Everyone on both sides is full of hatred and anger in their hearts. Every time they fight, even their respective commanders can hardly restrain their soldiers.

In the sky above the battlefield, black clouds were like ink, and red clouds were like fire, tumbling and rolling together.

This attack has been going on for seven days.

Seven days without rest, day and night.

'North Bow City' has completely become a huge meat grinder, a large number of soldiers die every second, and more soldiers are added from the rear.

At this time, the two sides had already gone crazy, they had no formation, no formation, no matter whether they were generals or soldiers, they only knew how to stab the opponent's body with the weapons in their hands desperately, and at the same time they were pierced by more weapons.

'North Bow City' is one of the four auxiliary cities of 'Suzaku Kingdom', with a permanent population of more than 300 million people.

Its size is no less than many first-tier cities in Zhang Ke's dream.

Together with the soldiers and horses of the northern battalions currently stationed in it, the total population of 'Northern Bow City' has exceeded 1000 million at this time.

Such a large number of soldiers and horses has far exceeded the maximum capacity that 'North Bow City' can carry, so as early as a few years ago, 'North Bow City' was constantly building walls and forts near the capital.

There are two advantages of doing this, one can place a large number of soldiers, and the other can also rely on these defensive buildings to ease the attack of 'Leaving Soul Mountain'.

Today's "Beigong City" has nine outer city walls and six inner city walls.

But after several years of fighting, the nine outer city walls have been completely destroyed, and even the six inner city walls have been attacked to the third.

And because of the lack of resources in the 'Suzaku Kingdom' in recent years, the follow-up camps were not built in time.

That is to say, once the army of 'Lihun Mountain' breaks through the six walls of the inner city, 'Northern Bow City' will fall to the enemy, and there will be no obstacles for its army to reach the national capital 'Yanwan City'.

And outside the city, on the vast land of Yimapingchuan, it can accommodate a million people to fight here.

On the fifth wall of the inner city of 'North Bow City', Shan Qiao, who lacked half of his cheek, looked solemnly at the stalemate battlefield.

Countless roads of black smoke rose from every corner of the dilapidated 'North Bow City'.

Countless fireballs exploded on the front city wall with loud roars, and the third wall of the inner city was damaged at a speed visible to the naked eye amidst the splash of rubble.

There are only a few people around Shan Qiao, except Shi Gandang, the commander of the three armies who lost his left arm, and the other six are all powerful inner court guards.

They are of little help on the battlefield, so they guard and protect them.

Except for the two, all other generals who can fight have been enriched in various fronts.

Shi Gandang looked at the soldiers of both sides who were strangling together in front of him. With his rich experience in war, he found that even though he had the advantage of defending the city, his own side still showed signs of decline.

In terms of individual strength alone, although there is an improvement in the "Wullish Warrior Practice Method", there is still a big gap with the soldiers of the "Lihun Mountain" who have been urged by special secret methods.

This gap is not too prominent in the formation of wars, but after seven days and seven nights of endless wars, especially in this chaotic state of battle, this disadvantage is infinitely magnified.

Every two soldiers from 'Leaving Soul Mountain' can kill three or more soldiers from 'Suzaku Kingdom'.

Even if reinforcements from the rear continued to enter the battlefield, it still failed to change the situation.

This is a general trend, and it is difficult to reverse it manually.

Just like two armies fighting, when one side cannot bear the pressure and is defeated, even if the army god is alive, he can only flee.

A few months ago, Shi Gandang was severely wounded by the wizard of "Leaving Soul Mountain" with a secret method, causing his left arm to be ablated. Now there is still a cold force in his body that absorbs his vitality like a sponge.

Shan Qiao was in a similar situation to him, the terrible curse secret technique of 'Leaving Soul Mountain' could not be avoided and resisted at all, if he was not strong enough and had the blessing of the fortune of the country, he would have been cursed to take his life long ago.

But despite this, Shan Qiao also suffered a lot of damage. His left half of his face was melted away. He was able to survive such a severe injury because he had cultivated to the eighth level of the "Three Meridians and Seven Wheels Contemplation Thought".

However, his injury was not fruitless. The wizard of the 'Lihun Mountain' who cast a spell and cursed by the fate of the country he protected had lost nearly 800 people at one time.

The cultivation of wizards is extremely difficult, and such losses made the head coach of 'Leaving Soul Mountain' heartbroken.

In view of the fact that the mountains had little effect on the battle situation, the high-level officials of 'Leaving Soul Mountain' decided not to curse it after further discussion. It was really difficult to bear such a huge loss again.

Shi Gandang turned his head to the mountain and said:
"Mr. Qiao, many citizens have come from all directions in the past few days, and it is rumored that the new monarch has recruited a large number of soldiers.

Why don't you let me preside over the battle here, and ask Mr. Qiao to send reinforcements when he returns home. "

Shan Qiao understood Shi Gandang's intention, slowly shook his head and said:
"If Gu retreats, the morale of the soldiers will collapse in an instant, and the city will no longer be able to survive.

What's more, with the capital behind you, where else can you retreat?
Even if I die here, future generations will not be able to ridicule my Shan clan for being greedy for life and afraid of death. "

Shi Gandang raised his eyes slightly, looked at the big golden vermilion bird banner symbolizing the monarch behind Shan Qiao, and secretly sighed in his heart, he knew Shan Qiao would not listen to persuasion.

Just as he was about to speak, a huge roar sounded in front of him.

"Boom--"

Then there were countless heart-piercing shouts on the battlefield.

"The city wall has collapsed!!!"

This shout was full of despair, grief and helplessness!

At the same time, there were strange cheers one after another all over the battlefield.

This is the soldiers of 'Leaving Soul Mountain' shouting.

The third wall of the inner city is logically not the last line of defense of the 'Suzaku Kingdom', but this line of defense entrusts the belief of countless soldiers of the 'Suzaku Kingdom'.

The line of defense that had endured for seven days and nights with countless casualties was destroyed at this moment, like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The faith of countless soldiers of the "Suzaku Kingdom" also disintegrated with the collapse of the city wall.

The soldiers of the 'Suzaku Kingdom' lost their fighting spirit, and countless soldiers turned their heads and fled to the rear, even if they turned their backs to the enemy, they didn't care.

The battle is over!

Shan Qiao and Shi Gandang's complexions turned gray in an instant.

Trouble!
Sure enough, after the third inner city wall was destroyed, the army of 'Lihun Mountain' only took an hour to destroy the fourth inner city wall.

The endless wave of black soldiers rushed towards the fifth city wall.

The army of 'Lihun Mountain' looked excited, and their high fighting spirit made the black clouds over the battlefield smudge the sky like ink.

In contrast, there are scattered red clouds flying away.

The loud shouts shook the sky, and countless soldiers of the 'Suzaku Kingdom' fled in panic.

The trend is over!

Shan Qiao closed his one eye in pain, once the 'Northern Bow City' was captured, its army would be able to rush to the base of the 'Yanwan City' like a broken bamboo.

But 'Yanwan City' is a basically undefended city.

Thinking of the imminent massacre of tens of millions of people in the city, Shan Qiao's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Pulling out the long sword around his waist in resentment, he said in a deep voice:
"Shi Qing, follow the solitary charge!"

Shi Gandang's remaining right hand trembled, a light blue Zhangba spear held high above his head, and he replied loudly:

"Here—!"

The six inner court guards beside him also raised their weapons one by one, ready to fight to the death.

But at this moment, the army of 'Lihun Mountain' rushing towards the city wall here like a tide suddenly stopped for a moment.

After a few breaths, the endless army of 'Lihun Mountain' under the city continued to rush towards the city wall under the orders of countless generals, but it lost the unstoppable and decisive momentum just now.

Seeing this scene, Shan Qiao and Shi Gandang couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

'Why? '

The mountain's one-eyed eyes bloomed with azure light, and they could see the expressions of the enemy soldiers below the city.

I saw countless black armored soldiers looking at their direction with suspicious expressions, and kept uttering a single word from their mouths.

'fire! '

After more than ten years of fighting with 'Lihun Mountain', the two sides can already understand each other's language.

Shan Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

At the end of the line of sight visible to one eye, there is a red line separating the sky and the earth, which looks like a wildfire on the mountains in autumn.

'what is that? '

The one-eye on the mountain was shimmering, constantly bringing the distant scene closer, but when he saw the origin of the red line, he couldn't help being a little dazed.

Shi Gandang didn't awaken the similar supernatural power of 'eyes of heaven', although he also saw visions in the distance, but he didn't know what it was.

Seeing Shan Qiao's dazed expression, he asked:
"Qiao Jun, what is that fire-like vision? Is there a turning point in the war?"

Shan Qiao came back to his senses, and asked Shi Gandang in disbelief:

"Shi Qing, does the new monarch always wear a mask?"

It's no wonder that Shan Qiao doesn't know the root of everything. Shan Qiao has practiced in the ancestral temple for many years and basically doesn't know anything about it. This time, he came to the northern line in a hurry to support.

Regarding Wanxiang, he only knew that this woman was brought in by his grandson Shan Yin's wife before entering the palace, and another impression was that this woman had the title of "Valkyrie".

Shi Gandang nodded and said:
"The appearance of the new monarch is not majestic enough, so he has always covered his face with a ghostly face."

A trace of worry flashed in Shan Qiao's one-eyed eyes, and he muttered to himself:
"Trouble!"

At this time, the army of 'Lihun Mountain' was continuously attacking the fifth city wall.

However, due to the influence of the ever-approaching red line in the distance, the offensive was not sufficient, and the soldiers of the 'Suzaku Kingdom' finally maintained the line of defense by virtue of their geographical advantage.

The red line in the distance moves so fast that it can be described as lightning fast.

In less than an hour, the red line was already in sight of both warring parties.

At this moment, all the people suddenly realized that what rolled over was not a red line at all, but a cloud condensed by the military power.

A black armored soldier looked at the fire cloud that directly dyed the sky red in the distance, and then looked at the black cloud condensed above his and others' heads. The size of the two can be described by a lake and a sea.

Due to the barrier of the city wall, the army of 'Lihun Mountain' couldn't see what was under the fire cloud, but the commotion was inevitably born.

As the fire clouds in the sky continue to surge forward, look up and look up, everything that the eyes can see is shrouded and covered by the fire clouds.

And as the fire cloud approached quickly, the ground began to tremble rhythmically, and at the same time, there was a sound of thunder.

"Boom-rumble--"

Shan Qiao and the others stood on the city wall. Looking from their position, they could see endless red armored soldiers moving rapidly under the fire cloud.

The soldiers in front were already approaching the 'Northern Bow City', but the soldiers in the rear were still out of sight.

"Is there still so many soldiers in this country that can be mobilized?

This... I'm afraid there are nearly ten million people, right? "

Shi Gandang stared straight at the army of the 'Suzaku Kingdom' that was approaching, and couldn't help asking questions.

Shan Qiao looked at it carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Among these soldiers, half of the armor is not standard, just wrapped in a red robe.

Judging from their actions, they also lack specific military literacy, and these people seem to be just some ordinary people. "

Shi Gandang looked at the front of the team, where countless metal puppets were advancing neatly and quickly.

"Hey, these metal puppets seem to be unique to the 'Kingdom of Luo', how could they be dispatched by this country?"

While the two were talking, a red light suddenly flashed at the front of the military column in the distance, and a royal chariot with nine horses flew up from the ground.

The nine one-horned white horses pulling the cart are as pure and flawless as elves descending from heaven.

The nine horses' hooves generate red cloud patterns on their own, allowing the one-horned white horse to walk in the air.

Shi Gandang looked at the nine-horse king's chariot rising into the sky, and cried out:

"Isn't this the king's chariot?"

The Nine Horse King's chariot is for the exclusive use of the monarch. Although Shan Qiao was once the monarch, after he abdicated, he could only keep a golden Suzaku flag to show his identity, but the king's chariot was not eligible to use it.

There is only one reason for the sudden appearance of the king's chariot at this moment.

The new king of Vientiane came to the northern line in person!

It was only when Shan Qiao discovered this that he was worried. At this time, there are two generations of monarchs here. Once the monarch falls here, it will cause a fatal blow to the hearts of the people of the 'Suzaku Kingdom'.

Vientiane stands in the royal chariot, behind it stands a golden banner representing the status of the monarch, and a huge golden Suzaku flag flutters in the wind.

Nine horses galloped through the air, and soon came to the sky above the fifth city wall.

Whether it was on the city wall or on the battlefield below, all the soldiers of the 'Suzaku Kingdom' looked at the nine-horse king's chariot standing in the air in disbelief.

"Oh my god, the royal chariot of nine horses, could it be that His Majesty has come down!"

"Why did His Majesty come to the Northern Front in person?"

"This place is so dangerous, why did His Majesty come here!"

"Your Majesty, get out of here!"

"."

Countless people shouted loudly, hoping that the King of Vientiane could leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

And the army of 'Lihun Mountain' also saw the big golden banner on the city wall representing the monarch.

This is not the outdated monarch of the mountain, but the ruler of a country in his rightful place.

"Charge! Charge up and kill her!"

"Capture the enemy king alive and quell the war!"

Countless black armored soldiers, instigated by many generals, desperately attacked the city.

One side charged to the death, and the other side desperately defended, and the battle became fierce in an instant.

Shan Qiao looked up at the nine horse king's chariot above his head, he didn't know why it could fly, but he still shouted in a deep voice:
"Vientiane, quickly return to the capital to organize defense."

Wearing a ferocious ghost mask, Wan Xiang looked down at Shan Qiao, ignored his words, and turned to look at the stalemate battlefield below.

After a little effort, Suzaku Battalion came under the city wall first.

The reason why it took so long to arrive at the 'North Bow City' was because there was a delay in receiving the East Tenth Battalion.

Wanxiang observed the situation on the battlefield, and suddenly said:

"Open the gates!"

Its clear and clear voice hit each other like jade, leisurely passed to the ears of Shan Qiao and others.

Shan Qiao exclaimed in disbelief:
"What did you say?"

The 'Suzaku Kingdom' was able to resist the attack of the army of 'Lihun Mountain', relying on this city wall, and Vientiane's orders were so incredible that no one obeyed them for a while.

Vientiane waited for a while, seeing that no one was moving, with one right hand, a [12 Yuanchen Fazhu] with twelve nodes appeared in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Wanxiang held the Yuanchen Pillar with one hand and stabbed it from top to bottom.

【12th Yuanchen Pillar】Grows rapidly at the moment when Vientiane is shot.

In just a few seconds, the five-foot-long pillar became a hundred feet long and hit the city gate heavily.

"boom--!"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering loud bang, the ground for miles around trembled violently.

The rocks collapsed, and the bursting flames flew all over the sky. The six-foot-high city gate disappeared without a trace, and only a huge hole appeared in front of it.

Wanxiang put away the [12 Yuanchen Pillar], and with a flick of a finger, a little flame mark was printed somewhere outside the city, and said softly:

"fire!"

Feng Xinglu pointed at the long knife in his hand, and shouted sharply:
"fire-!"

The sergeant of the 'Suzaku Battalion' kept shouting:
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

After three breaks, the 50 soldiers of the Suzaku Battalion all raised their bows and set up their arrows to shoot upwards.

"Peng--!"

In an instant, countless lines of fire flew up from the camp, and followed a complete arc to fall outside the city.

With the guidance of Vientiane's logo, hundreds of thousands of arrows flew towards the target accurately.

At this time, some of the black armored soldiers who were fighting with the 'Suzaku Kingdom' outside the city suddenly noticed a red cloud appearing above their heads, and they couldn't help but stare intently.

Usually, people use the term "Arrows Raining Down" to describe the density of arrows flying.

But at this moment, in the eyes of the black armored soldiers, there was no rain of arrows at all, only a raging sea of ​​flames flew over their heads.

When they looked back, they saw that their own army, hundreds of feet away, had been shot through by countless rockets, and quickly burned into coke, and a huge area was emptied.

Wan Xiang reached out and patted the armrest of the royal chariot, and the nine horses neighed and flew downward with the royal chariot.

At the same time, rows of red-robed soldiers rushed out of the city quickly.

As on countless previous occasions, Vientiane was still the first to charge the enemy.

And behind her, the 'Suzaku Battalion' continuously shot arrows, covering Vientiane's body.

The city gate was so big that it didn't allow the army to pass through quickly. The puppet army found a way and jumped directly from the fifteen-foot-high city wall.

The special composition prevents them from receiving major damage at all.

After the puppet army landed, they opened rope nets one by one, and other soldiers of the East Tenth Battalion jumped off the city wall one after another.

During this period, Vientiane did not wait for the follow-up support of its own soldiers, but drove the nine-horse king's chariot into the enemy army.

The golden red flames protected the king's chariot, and two tens of feet long flaming Suzaku wings swung in front of him like brooms. With each sweep, hundreds of black armored soldiers were ignited into torches.

When the third battalion of the East Tenth Battalion entered the battlefield, the real offensive began.

With Feng Xinglu's loud cry, the sea of ​​flames appeared again.

The rockets above the head flew in wave after wave, just like the tide surging in waves at high tide.

It's just that every time the sea of ​​flames swelled, thousands of black armored soldiers would be reduced to ashes by 'Nanming Lihuo'.

Even if there is a powerful general from the 'Lihun Mountain' who survived the rocket damage through special means, he will suffer targeted blows from the masters of the 'Suzaku Battalion' afterwards.

A burst of flames killed a black-armored general on the spot.

Vientiane led the forward three battalions to rush towards the camp of the 'Lihun Mountain' army.
