Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow) - Chapter 318
The eighth week that Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo came to this “world”.
Just after a torrential thunderstorm, there was still the smell of rain washed in the sky. The Ji thrush came out of the tent, trot all the way, quickly across the camp, and found a pine tree soaring into the clouds. Climbed to the tree.
Ren Jianmo was sitting on a tree branch, holding a telescope looking into the distance.
Ji Lu turned over and sat next to him and asked:
“How’s it going?”
Ren Jianmo handed him the telescope, “Same as the morning.”
Ji Xiaoniao took the binoculars and carefully observed the situation of the enemy camp, frowning and frowning.
About half a month ago, they took 10,000 living corpses and 10,000 ghost soldiers in a fierce battle with the holy court’s garrison at a small ferry. After annihilating the enemy forces, they forcibly crossed the river and finally joined the court army.
Just before they settled down, the Holy Court Army across the river suddenly launched a fierce attack.
This group of invaders from across the sea have the current top-notch shipping technology in this “world”.
Since their boats can cross the oceans, the turbulent Huanghe sky can’t stop them.
The Holy Court Army spent three days connecting hundreds of huge boats with chains. The long boat array is like a giant snake entrenched on the Huanghe River. Looking down from a height, it almost covers a whole section. River channel.
Facing the imperial plot of the Holy Court Army that was about to make a desperate attempt to cross the river forcibly, the Imperial Resistance Army really didn’t know how to deal with it for a while.
Of course, they have thought of imitating the sages to create a series of fire ships, but in this era when there are no thermal weapons of mass destruction, the buildings of the Xiyi people are huge, and the rockets can’t even shoot the ship, let alone fire. To the deck.
In addition, it is the height of summer and the rainy season with abundant water vapor. It is even more difficult to attack with fire.
Of course, many strange men and strangers in the team tried their own methods to prevent the Holy Court Army from crossing the river. The two sides broke out several fierce conflicts with mutual casualties, but three days later, the iron tower boat formation finally took shape. A group of ordinary people crossed the river and landed and rushed to the main imperial force on the north bank.
So since the West Yi people invaded east, the largest battle, with the fiercest fighting situation, and the heaviest casualties began.
For a period of time at first, faced with the frenzied offensive of the Holy Court army, the forward of the imperial army was beaten with no strength to fight back. After the defeat, they fled for hundreds of miles, and waited until the remnants were gathered again and joined the Chinese army. , The deaths and injuries have exceeded half.
Fortunately, the terrain on the north shore is complex.
In the following many days, all soldiers of the imperial army, relying on their familiarity with the map, and the iron bones who would rather die than be a subjugated slave, just withstood waves of offensives from the invaders.
The so-called one blast, then decay, and exhaustion.
Three days, five days, one week…ten days, half a month.
The Holy Court is like a group of lions, ferocious and hungry.
The lions madly chased the wildebeest herd on the grassland. They were aggressive and powerful. They seemed to have a crushing advantage. But after running for a long time, they could not bite the throat of their prey. Instead, they were exhausted and exhausted. Also ran out of momentum.
It has been more than half a month since the Holy Court Army crossed the river.
Finally, starting three days ago, those Xiyi people no longer attacked the city every day, but instead occupied a mountain city, conquered the entire city’s civilians into slaves, cut logs on the spot, and built fortifications.
“……wrong.”
Ji Yu carefully studied what he saw through the telescope, “The thing they are building does not look like a fortification.”
Ren Jian silently nodded.
He agreed with Ji Shu’s idea.
“Yesterday I thought they were repairing things like observation decks or arrow towers.”
Ji Xiaoniao said:
“But today, it seems…is a high platform?”
“Yes.”
Ren Jian silently took back the telescope and confirmed it again:
“This style of things will not be of much use in the battle between the two armies. I think it is more like a religious building.”
“No way?”
Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows, his expression looked quite incredible.
“When is this? Did they spend so much effort just to build a place for prayer?”
He turned his gaze to the enemy camp more than ten kilometers away and touched his chin.
“And even if they really want to build, they should build a church? What does it mean to build a high platform on the mountainside?”
This question is too difficult to answer even after being re-elected.
In fact, it is not just Ji Shu and Ren Jianmo, many people in the barracks are paying attention to the progress of the construction of the high platform.
In the past two days, the Su Jiang Army has sent several batches of scouts-including some cultivators-to try to sneak into the enemy’s line to inquire about the next move of the opponent.
However, these people are like mud cows entering the sea, never going back.
As for the enemy soldiers who were captured on the battlefield, they didn’t know the purpose of that huge high platform after asking three questions.
At this time, the only one who could give them relevant information was the witch Elena.
Although Elena is a Xiyi with red hair and green eyes, but for more than half a month, after she has frequently demonstrated the value of her divination ability, the girl has become a big treasure in the barracks. The Su Jiang army has gone everywhere. Want to pick her up together.
Jelena did a fortune telling yesterday.
There are two important pieces of information she seized-one, the leader of the Eastern Expedition, the Saint Lancelot is in the mountain city less than 20 kilometers away from them; the second, the Saint Army is building Is a very important thing.
It’s just, what exactly is that high platform?
Whenever Jelena wanted to use her power deeper, she would be obscured by an invisible barrier, completely unable to penetrate.
Ji Tuan even considered whether or not to dive into the mountain city by himself. It would be better if he could kill the enemy’s legendary Saint Lancelot by the way.
It’s a pity that he hadn’t had time to plan carefully before this idea was rejected by Ren Jianmo.
With the Saints sitting in town, the enemy’s defenses are naturally unusually strong.
Let’s not talk about how tightly the city’s defenses are. The 300,000 troops who cannot enter the city are now stationed outside the city. The campsites enclose the mountain city in an iron bucket and are airtight. You can still see the blessings of the Holy Light. The perspective eyes hovering outside the city are trickier than unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
Although the current Ji Xiaoniao is already very powerful, he does not have the ability to fly into the sky and stealthily.
“By the way, let’s go back.”
Ji Yu pulled Ren Jianmo’s hand.
“General Su seems to have something to discuss with everyone.”
So the two put their binoculars away, jumped off the pine tree, and returned to the barracks together.
After dinner, all the powerful characters in Su Jiang’s army were invited to his Chinese army tent and held a combat meeting.
Su Jiangjun was a burly man in his early forties. His ancestors were of grassland nomadic ancestry, so his appearance was a bit of a foreign race, with high brow bones, deep eye sockets, and slightly eagle-like hooks on his nose, making him quite handsome.
It’s just that the exhaustion of this period of time has made him exhausted, his temples are stained with frost, and the brows are left with two deep folds due to long-term frowning, which looks more than ten years older than his real age. age.
There are 50,000 cavalry under the Su Jiang Army.
As the vanguard of the War of Resistance, their casualties were naturally the heaviest.
From the beginning to the present, the generals and soldiers under his leadership have almost changed from general to soldier, and the three thousand guards have died so that only a few hundred people remain.
Now in the tent of the Su Jiang Army, there are a dozen generals sitting on the left hand side, and on the right hand side are all gangsters dressed up in various costumes.
Ji Lu and Ren Jian arrived late in silence.
After entering the tent, the two did not squeeze forward, but quietly came to the last seat and sat behind a few sword immortals.
Su Jiangjun saw that the people were almost there, so he skipped all unnecessary greetings and opening remarks, and went straight to the point.
“Miss Irina did another divination today.”
Su Jiangjun raised his hand and compared to the red-haired witch sitting behind him.
“She told me a terrible result.”
The people in the camp had already been very familiar with Elena, and no one had questioned her abilities. At this time, they all looked solemn and attentively waited to hear the specific content of the prophecy.
Jelena approached a young man dressed as a scribe and muttered a few words.
That young man was an aide of the Su Jiang Army and one of the few translators in the barracks who could speak Spanish. At this time, he hurriedly conveyed the witch’s prophecy to everyone in the camp.
“Miss Irina said that the enemy will start a general offensive early in the morning.”
The scribe’s face was a little pale, but he still tried his best to make his voice sound calmer:
“Moreover, what is different from the past is…”
He paused, trying to translate the meaning of the word more accurately:
“They brought something huge and unparalleled. It is the key to the future.”
“What’s the meaning?”
The Second Young Master of Dong’s family, who was sitting closest to Su Jiangjun, immediately yelled.
The zombie soldiers controlled by Dong Jing are now the core combat power in the army. In the barracks, in addition to the Su Jiang army, he is the most powerful and has the highest status. Naturally, he is extraordinarily courteous and speaks a lot.
“What is’huge and incomparable thing’?”
That day, the second young master of the Dong family had seen Tiesuo Lianzhou and a million army crossing the river with his own eyes.
It’s just that this is land, and there are no big rivers that can accommodate buildings and boats. Even if they really have some big killers, they can’t be pulled over with a horse, cart, or cart, right?
Obviously others have the same question.
Everyone focused on Jelena, waiting for the alien witch to analyze her prophecy.
But the red-haired girl just shook her head and said sorry.
After all, Jelena is just a witch who worships darkness. She is naturally restrained by the Holy Light. Divination until these two pieces of information are her limit. If she reluctantly wants to snoop on the details, to her, it is like trying to reach out and take out a burning piece. Like a charcoal fire, the soul hurts like a raging fire.
