Heavenly Dao Formula

...

Looking at the black army that surrounded him, Yuan Jiu's face turned ashen.

"What about the reinforcements that King Dongsheng promised? How long will it take for them to arrive at Bumi Mansion?"

"It should be soon, my lord," the staff officer beside him wiped his sweat, "The former army passed through Shangma City yesterday, and they will definitely arrive before sunset today. But you, you should go back to the camp first. It's becoming very dangerous..."

"This is the harbor." He said with a sullen face.

"My lord?" The staff officer couldn't understand for a moment.

"You are not invincible, are you?" Yuan Jiu said with a cold face, "It is impossible for the enemy to really besiege this city, but because of this, I must stand in everyone's sight."

This is the ancestral motto of the Yuanjiu family.

The back road that is too easy to get is also the dead end that ruins everything.

If he left the city wall, rumors would spread that he had already boarded a boat and fled because the soldiers would not last long. At that time, morale will collapse, and the city will be handed over to others. Even if he survived, he lost all his century-old family property, what face would he have to meet his ancestors?

Sending his own child to Shanghai is already the limit of what he can do.

"I'd like to see if Dongfang's mechanism beast is really as difficult to deal with as described." Yuan Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Let the artillerymen prepare!"

Anyway, Bumi Mansion is bigger than the cities captured by the enemy before, and he doesn't believe that the opponent can break through the city gate within a day.

When King Dongsheng's cavalry arrived, he would be able to cooperate with the opponent to launch a counterattack and completely annihilate these peasant troops who didn't even have horses in the outskirts.

That's right, they are just a bunch of rough and lowly peasants!

Let these people become soldiers who made meritorious deeds on the battlefield, it is simply ridiculous!

What's even more exaggerated is that Yuanjiu Shidi also heard that Queen Yama is engaged in land redistribution, looting all the farmland belonging to the aristocratic family, and then distributing it to those farmers who are willing to cultivate the land without taking a penny, as long as they pay on time A certain amount of food is enough. This kind of behavior has undoubtedly crossed the bottom line that the aristocratic family can accept. Originally, the princes of Dongsheng still had a sense of dispensation for the Queen of Yama, and even thought that it would be okay to confess her, but now the other party only has One kind of ending is to go into hell completely, so that she will never be reborn forever.

All the nobles and samurai in Bumi Mansion knew that no matter what, this enemy army should not be allowed to enter the city!

When the mechanism beast approached the city within three hundred steps, the iron barrel cannon erected on the city wall fired first.

Accompanied by a series of shocking roars, the iron ball escaped and flew towards the enemy's front line——

However, the opponent suddenly accelerated, changed his previous strategy of advancing steadily, and galloped forward in three steps at a time. Artillery is good for killing densely packed siege soldiers, but it is completely inaccurate in the face of such fast-moving targets. None of the first shots hit, and all the projectiles smashed into the soil.

"kill------!"

At the same time, high-pitched shouts broke out in the May Army.

The sound was overwhelming for a while, and the defenders on the city wall couldn't help but tremble with fear.

The distance of 300 steps was broken in less than a few tens of breaths, and the organ beast rushing to the front raised the multi-barreled air rifles on both sides, and began to pour firepower at the top of the city!

In an instant, projectiles rained down on the brick wall, stirring up a hazy cloud of dust.

"Don't retreat, put on the explosive talisman, and fight back!"

The generals of the defending army roared with all their might, and the soldiers also tried to fight back with bows and crossbows, but they had no experience in resisting fire suppression at all. They just raised their bodies to shoot arrows as usual, but they were shot down by bullets, and the activated explosive charms reversed. It exploded on the city wall, blasting the surrounding officers and soldiers to pieces!

"My lord, get down quickly, it's not safe here!" the staff officer leaned over and shouted.

"I'm right here in the city! No one is allowed to leave!" Yuan Jiu remained unmoved while leaning on his samurai sword, "I will never die at the hands of these mobs!"

"We can't let them continue fighting like this," an adjutant yelled, "Where is the Ninja Team? It's time for them to go out!"

As soon as the words fell, a dozen or so figures in black jumped down from the city wall and ran towards the organ beast like ghosts.

The latter reacted quite quickly, and immediately aimed one side of the gun at the ninja.

The bullet rain overturned several people in an instant, but some of them rushed to the organ beast.

These people themselves carried explosive charms.

A few pillars of dazzling fire suddenly shot up into the sky!

Four or five organ beasts seemed to be silent, but the smoke dissipated. Yuan Jiu and the others were astonished to discover that such a rapid explosion only destroyed the outer armor of the organ beast, and the vines arranged in layers inside resisted the explosion like a barrier. The shock brought by the character!

At this time, the organ beasts of the second phalanx had also arrived. They erected their shields and formed a solid wall with both offensive and defensive capabilities. At this moment, no matter whether it was artillery or explosive arrows, it would be difficult for the evil horse army to retreat half a step.

On the contrary, the artillery of the evil horse army began to bombard, and there was no need to measure the ballistic trajectory at a distance of 100 paces, and the shotgun could be sent to the top of the city wall only by direct aiming. The warheads triggered by this delay are like grenades, which will explode after landing, and their lethality is more than one level higher than the iron barrel guns of the Bumi Mansion defenders.

Then the siege-type Xuanwu directly crossed the front line, and stepped forward to hit the city gate. Although the soldiers above braved the hail of bullets and threw hot oil and rocks, they were all bounced off by the giant shield, and could hardly exert their due effect. Xuanwu, on the other hand, used its own weight and detachable battering hammer to collapse the city gate within a few hits.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle, there was a gap in Bumi Mansion's defense.

He was dumbfounded for a long time.

Although he had heard the rhetoric of the retreating rogues in other cities, it was a completely different experience to actually see it with his own eyes.

This kind of battle that no longer relies on personal bravery and the ability of the spirit is completely beyond his understanding of war.

Those rogues were not bragging about their enemies, the facts were even more astonishing than he expected!

Even if you don't want to, now is the time to send out the guards.

While he was gritting his teeth and waiting to give an order, a loud voice suddenly came from the north of the field.

For a long time, he poked his head out from behind the wall, and saw a group of dark figures running towards the city.

Reinforcements... finally arrived!

"Is that the reinforcements of King Dongsheng?" Wu Yueyao frowned, raised his binoculars and looked north.

"It's indeed Dongsheng warrior...but it doesn't look like it..." Ninghong looked at it for a moment, "Why do you feel that they are running for their lives instead of charging our army?"

Indeed, May also noticed this. The terrain here is open, and the enemy has no shortage of horses, no matter how you think about it, you should use cavalry to charge first.

But these people couldn't even see a horse.

And many soldiers didn't even draw their weapons.

"Wait... the sea, the sea!" Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Master Wuyue, look in the direction of the sea!"

May Yao turned the lookout.

I saw a dense sail shadow on the gray sea.
