Heavenly Dao Formula

Yama Island, the eastern suburb of Bumi Prefecture.

This is the second largest city occupied by Dongsheng, and it is also the closest good port of the island country to the mainland.

Now it has been surrounded by the army of the evil horse queen. Thirty thousand troops converged from all sides, blocking the way to break out of the encirclement on the east, south and north sides of it.

Wu Yueyao changed her previous costume of the great witch, and put on the same armor as the soldiers, rode to the front line of the team on horseback, and personally commanded the battle. In fact, she was neither good at battle nor understood the art of war, but she knew that as long as she appeared in front of everyone, it would be the biggest boost to morale.

She could confirm this from the focused eyes of the soldiers.

Today is a cloudy day, and the sea breeze continues unabated after passing over the city walls. Hundreds of flags of the army are fluttering in the wind, and there is a slightly salty smell in the air, which reminds Wu Yueyao of Jinxia City .

"I didn't expect...we were able to hit here in one go." Ningqing patted the horse's head and said with emotion in a low voice.

Ever since Jinxia cut off the private salt trade with Dongsheng and started to support Queen Yama, the enemy's offensive slowed down significantly. Nearly 60% of the territory, the queen occupies 40%, and no one can do anything for a while.

Most agree that such a confrontation will continue for a long time.

It is even possible that the island is completely divided into two because of this stalemate.

But the actual situation has changed beyond everyone's expectations.

After Wu Yueyao launched a coup d'etat, she eliminated the princes who opposed her with overwhelming force, and established an official government imitating the structure of the Bureau of Affairs in the territories of these princes. Theoretically, if these measures are to be implemented in an area that has been cultivated by a big family for many years, they will inevitably encounter great resistance, but Wu Yueyao grasped the core of the problem, not only using thunder to uproot the family's forces, It also brought back a group of grassroots preparatory officials who had received education from the Bureau of Affairs from Jinxia.

These people were originally from the Yama country, and they were the first batch of migrants to accept the immigration policy. Wu Yueyao had to ask Princess Guangping for a long time before "borrowing" them back temporarily. A group of local people controlled the political situation, coupled with a series of policies to benefit the people promulgated by the new government, such as the abolition of serfdom, tax reduction for residents, low-price subsidies for agricultural products, etc., instantly gained great popularity among the people.

If the life of the common people at the bottom of the Qi State is still alive, the evil horse is much more miserable. Under the oppression of the big landlords and the big family, the bottom people are completely tied up in the fields, and the output is plundered every year. , the remaining food is only enough to feed the family, and is essentially no different from slaves. They also have no way to stand up by being samurai or studying - in Yama Island, even buying an iron knife has status requirements, even when Queen Chiba's situation is in jeopardy, these princes are unwilling to control themselves The serfs contributed and organized into battle-ready soldiers.

Therefore, the changes brought about by Wu Yueyao are shocking.

These low-level people chose to stand by the new government with the simplest emotions. With manpower, sufficient equipment, and money, May quickly pulled up a civilian army without any noble families, and those princes who tried to overthrow the great witch were defeated by air rifles and basalt beasts. In less than a month, Wuyueyao completely seized the power center of Izhafu, while Chiba retreated to the second line.

In the next few months, this civilian army grew stronger and marched westward with May's will, piercing through several princely cities one after another, tearing a gap in Dongsheng's territory.

The confrontational situation was unexpectedly broken.

Now as long as they take Bumi Mansion again, the territory they occupy will become five or five times that of Dongsheng. But what the staff members valued more was not the size of the territory, but the special location of Bumi Mansion. If they can get the port on the west coast, the route with Jinxia City will be greatly shortened, and the evil horse can also obtain various resources from across the sea at any time, and it is basically invincible.

"Yeah..." Ning Hong muttered, "I used to think that Dongsheng was so scary, and we had no power to fight against the Samurai Musketeers, but now I think they are nothing more than that."

It's not just about weapons.

Wu Yueyao could feel this.

The army she commands now possesses an incomparable vitality compared to the past. Even if the air tanks of the air rifles were empty, the soldiers dared to insert bayonets and rush towards those samurai whose status was much higher than theirs.

These people are fighting with hope.

— They hope that their offspring will never have to be slaves, and that their offspring can live a better life.

The more places they occupy, the firmer everyone's thoughts will be.

"My lord, the agreed time has come." Arima Keiichiro reported to May Haruka. He was the first person to follow May to the east to find help. He was originally just a servant of the guards. After some experience in the Jinxia Army, he is now the commander of the Chinese army.

May nodded slightly.

She looked at the city in the distance - above the east gate, Wu Yue could vaguely see a group of people in fine clothes also looking at this side. There is no doubt that it must include the princes who are in charge of this place, Yuanjiu Shidi. I heard that when An used evil methods to seal off the sea, he made a lot of efforts. He not only searched for magical medicinal materials, but also looted the surrounding villages, and sent people to An's hands as raw materials for blood sacrifices.

This person might not have imagined that one day he would be forced to be in a desperate situation with his back to the sea.

May has already figured out how to deal with him.

She would throw these people into the sea with her own hands, to be with the innocents they had slaughtered, and even if this could not comfort the dead, at least it could comfort the descendants who were still alive.

"Blow the trumpet and beat the drum." Wu Yue waved his hand, "Order all the ministries to launch the siege as planned!"

"yes!"

"woo woo woo woo--------------------"

The sound of the horn suddenly resounded through the countryside.

Ningqing was the first to rush out of the phalanx on horseback, and ran towards the east wall of Bumi Mansion. Behind her were fifteen basalt-type mechanism beasts—these second-generation mechanism beasts were equipped with more flexible joints and more powerful weapons. The organ beasts are like a sentry tower full of crossbowmen. Every time before when the city was attacked, the troops that rushed to the forefront and suppressed the shooters on the wall were precisely the vanguard army of mechanism beasts!

A little behind is the first generation of heavy-duty mechanism beasts. Although they are also called Xuanwu by the Jinxia Machine Building Bureau, the evil horse people prefer to call them monster cars. First of all, most of the monsters driving this kind of mechanical beast are monsters, and secondly, it is the main force for carrying luggage on the marching road, and it is easier to use than a horse-drawn cart. This batch of mechanism beasts, Jinxia, ​​provided nearly fifty units. In addition to the standard large shields, they also carried artillery ammunition, siege mallets, siege ladders and other equipment, and they were the backbone responsible for breaking the door.

Finally, there is an infantry formation that keeps a certain distance and advances slowly. Due to shipping problems, they couldn't do one shot per person like the Jinxia Army. They claimed to be an army of 30,000, but in fact there were only two to three thousand people with guns. Others still mainly used spears and iron-headed guns. However, in the previous battles, they have already proved themselves, whether they are facing noble warriors or the evil spirits summoned by the An family, they have the courage to fight to the end.
