Heavenly Dao Formula

"That's... the West Pole warship?" Nina Hong asked in surprise.

The tall ship sides, the eye-catching towers at the tail, and the three mainsail masts are all the characteristics of ships in the West Pole—she had seen similar ships when Natalin was building a port in the northeast of Yama.

"No, the flag they hang is the seven-star flag!" Wu Yue frowned, "As far as I know, this is the emblem only used by the Seven-Star Privy Council."

"Seven Stars... the Privy Council?"

"You mean, they are from the mainland?"

"Is this fleet related to Jinxia City?"

Everyone was talking for a while.

"No," Wuyue clenched her fists, "the ones who come here have absolutely no good intentions! This group of people—— are Jinxia's enemies!"

Except for the group of people who followed him and honed in Jinxia, ​​Yama Island knows little about the changes in the mainland. Most people don't know the relationship between the court and the Privy Council, and they don't know that the seven-star alchemist has fought against Jinxia City. Meet each other, the situation is the same as fire and water. Their arrival must not be good news for Yamaguchi.

Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, clusters of red flames flickered in the fleet.

"They are bombarding King Dongsheng's army!" Nina Hong exclaimed.

With the explosion and thick smoke brought by the shells landing, the soldiers who were already fleeing ran faster. They rushed to the north wall of Bumi Mansion in a panic, even ignoring the encircling defense line of Princess Yama in the middle.

Now Wu Yueyao knew why these reinforcements didn't even have a horse.

It is necessary to pass through a narrow mountain road from the north to Bumi. They may have been attacked by sea ships in the middle of the march, and they suddenly collapsed. When the horses were frightened, they were far more difficult to control than people. On horseback, there is a high probability that they will be taken off the cliff together by panicked horses.

Now these people are not so much reinforcements as a group of driven lambs.

In addition, Wuyue also noticed that the enemy's artillery was extremely fierce, in stark contrast to the iron barrel artillery at the top of Bumi Prefecture. Every time a fire is fired, it will set off a round of flames in the defeated army. The latter has long been frightened. It is better to lie prone on the spot or retreat to the hinterland of the countryside, but no one thinks of doing so.

At this moment, the fleet that was already close to the edge of the beach dropped anchor.

The opponent does not seem to have any intention of directly attacking the harbor.

Then many soldiers in armor slid down from the hanging ladder on the ship and fell directly into the sea water—what is astonishing is that they did not sink into the sea like stones, but ran directly on the sea surface! It was as if what they were stepping on was not sea water, but soft blue sand!

"No, these people are coming for us!" Wu Yueyao's heart sank, and he saw this group of fresh troops rushing down from the north, colliding with the right wing of the encirclement. Since that was not where the main force of the siege was, there were no organ beasts stationed there, and only an infantry of about 10,000 people was used to block the north gate of Bumi Mansion to prevent the troops inside the city from breaking out from the encirclement to the north.

The commanding officer on the right also responded quickly, adjusting Bingfeng to face the incoming enemy head-on, but Wu Yue felt the huge gap in strength between the two sides as soon as they fought.

This group of armored soldiers is undoubtedly the elite of the elite. The bamboo spears and iron swords used by their troops are almost vulnerable to the opponent's fine iron armor, and even the air rifles have no obvious effect. Moreover, the enemy obviously invested several alchemists, one of them was a man in green clothes who was particularly conspicuous. He seemed to be strolling on the battlefield, setting off bloody storms wherever he went. Most of the fighters couldn't even get close to him, and their limbs would break if they got close to him a little bit. The scene looked very strange.

"Is that a monster?"

"Bastard, why can't the rifle team knock him down!?"

There was a commotion in the Chinese army.

An idea popped up in Wuyue's mind: high-ranking alchemist. When she was in Jinxia, ​​she had seen the horror of these people who were named Qingjian and Yuyi who were sensitive to Qi. Their abilities are often difficult to measure with common sense, and sometimes one person can resist an army. It is true that they are also flesh and blood, and they also have their own weaknesses. If the 30,000 army puts all their strength into it, they may be able to defeat each other, but that price is unacceptable to Wu Yueyao.

She made a judgment based on instinct, "Pass my order, let the Xuanwu troops support the right wing and cut off the rear, the central army and the left wing will retreat immediately, and give up this siege battle!"

"My lord, but... we are about to invade the city!" Arima Keiichiro said rather unwillingly.

"Retreat is the right choice." Nina Hong agreed, "The opponent has warships and artillery. Even if we capture Bumi City, we can only be passively beaten. What's more, the enemy has alchemists in command, and we can't take advantage of it even in street fighting. These 30,000 people are the hole cards in the hands of His Highness May, and they must not be lost here!"

She knew very well in her heart that the lord's actions had annoyed many aristocrats. The reason why they did not dare to act rashly was because the lord held the power that could easily destroy them. If the damage is too large, it is still a trivial matter to be unable to continue to expand the territory, and the fire in the rear is what Wu Yue fears most.

With the change of semaphore and the sound of gold ringing, the army began to retreat eastward. The Xuanwu troops led by Ning Qing turned around and intercepted the uninvited guests rushing onto the beach.

"Crush them!"

Nagino raised the green dragon saber and slashed at the Seven Star soldier who was closest to him.

Compared with the air rifle, she still prefers this steel broadsword made and gifted by Jinxia Machine Building Bureau. The ghost's origin endows it with a strong physique, and this heavy weapon can often perform well under her control. Because of the impact of Xuanwu mechanism beast.

The soldiers who tried to stop her were horrified to find that the swords in their hands were no match for one round, even if they were holding a small shield, they would be cut in half by the whistling long sword!

Xuanwu, who was following behind, took the opportunity to open fire. The firepower density and projectile power of the large-caliber multi-barreled air rifle were not at the same level as the individual rifle. A blood mist instantly rose in the phalanx of the Seven Star Troops, and the originally anxious battlefield also followed. They were killed and separated in two.

"Let's go!" Nina Qing yelled at the right-wing troops, "We'll break the rear here!"

"Yes...!" The generals led their subordinates out of the field one after another, and the Seven Star Army followed them again, as if they did not intend to let them go easily.

At this time, the figure of the man in Tsing Yi appeared in Nagino's field of vision.

Even after killing dozens of people and messing up the right-wing line of defense, he was still in perfect condition, and there was not even a trace of blood on the hem of his robe.

Looking at each other, Nagino felt a strong sense of oppression.

This person reminded her of Xia Fan - both of them looked like Mr. Pianpian, but when she got along with the former, she felt soft and relaxed, while the latter just looked at each other, and she felt chills in her heart.

There was no trace of pity for the living in his eyes.

——It doesn’t matter whether it’s May’s troops or Qixing’s soldiers, it’s the same for him.
