Chapter 253: The cloud of doubts

10days ago traverse Novels 9
More than ten days have passed since the Yuanxiao Festival, but bright fireworks have risen in the night sky of the imperial capital, sending emergency signals to the headquarters command center of the Blood Clothing Guard in different combinations:

Tiantai Mountain encountered obstacles in attacking the mountain, the firearm battalion was attacked, the Ministry of Revenue was attacked, the Ministry of War was attacked, the Ministry of Works was attacked, and the Imperial Guard Headquarters was attacked...

With air superiority, the Dragon Warship launched a sudden attack on 36 important targets in the Imperial Capital City in less than an hour! I don’t know how many Dragon Warships were, and I don’t know how many Free Army participated in the attack. If this momentum continues, I’m afraid that the important targets in the entire Imperial Capital City will be attacked one after another!

Perhaps because Hua Yinghong was killed by a conspiracy on Mochou Island, the goddess of liberty Liu Yufei and the fairy of peach blossoms, Xue Xianxian lost their minds and launched an almost crazy revenge on many important targets in the imperial capital!

Liu Piaoxu received reports from various places, and was so depressed: The Flying Dragon Battleship was too cunning. Although the masters of the Blood Guard tracked the hiding place of the Flying Dragon Battleship troops in advance, they were unable to get close to the ten-mile warning range these days, and when the Free Army really launched an attack tonight, it was useless!

The spy sent to the mountainous area saw the flying dragon warship taking off from its hiding place and sent back the message in time. However, who could see the battleship Ah above the altitude of more than a thousand feet in the dark? With air superiority, the Freedom Guard can choose important targets at will to attack!

In places where the Tang army had few troops deployed, hundreds of free iron guards slid down the chain ropes directly. The cooperation between heaven and earth often solved the main battle within a quarter of an hour. Then, just like robbers entering the house to rob, killing what should be killed, taking what should be taken, burning what should be burning... Before a large number of blood-clothed guards and the Imperial Guards arrived for reinforcements, they left a corpse in a mess, climbing up the flying dragon warship and leaving!

Where the Tang army was strong and the masters gathered, the Free Iron Guard threw down some magic dragon blood bullets in the sky, causing a fire, and after shooting out a few rounds of arrow rain, they avoided them far away. It could make the Blood Guard who were acting in a fight with the Free Iron Guard so depressed that they wanted to die!

The Imperial Guard and the Blood Uniform Guard reinforced each place, and the news that was lost everywhere kept coming back, all of which were unsatisfactory.

The Blood Clothing Guard's intelligence personnel were in charge of contacting the palace and gathered directly outside the Qinzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace to ensure that the signals sent from various places could be reported to the emperor in the shortest time. Faced with this sudden chaos, the commander Li Junxin could not handle it. He had to mobilize all kinds of troops and various light and dark forces in the city at any time. Only Emperor Liu Piaoxu had this power, so the emperor simply issued an order directly!

The Imperial Guards were sent to protect the key targets all over the country. They were all necessary to protect. For example, let’s say the firearm battalion: Due to its remote location, the three thousand imperial guards and the three thousand guards were caught off guard by the Free Iron Guards. In less than two quarters of an hour, nearly a thousand people were lost. Forty dragon warships transported away more than two thousand top military craftsmen and important manufacturing equipment. That was the backbone of the research of new firearms and mastering the most advanced technology. The Empire suffered a heavy blow than the loss of a legion!

The inner city of the imperial capital is very wide, with a total area of ​​80 square kilometers within the 72-mile long city wall. In addition, there are also some important goals in the outer city. There are too many places to divide troops and prevent each place from being prepared. There are not enough people in each place. At least one imperial guard brigade of 3,000 people, plus thousands of guards, can we persist until the super master responsible for mobile reinforcements arrive when facing the attack of hundreds of people in the Free Iron Guard...

As important targets were attacked one after another, the 200,000 imperial guards in the imperial capital had to disperse and protect important targets, including the Knights, Bloody Guards, and the Great Insider Guards, and finally even the Imperial Guards who never easily dispatched, dispatched 40,000 people!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A strange sound was heard everywhere in the imperial capital. In addition to the roar of anti-aircraft artillery, there was also the sound of musket firing in the latest research results of the Firearms Battalion.

The barrel of the musket is five feet long and contains gunpowder and iron bullets. The barrel is rifled. When used, it is pulled to drive the striker and ignites the gunpowder like a flint. The range of the bullet can reach up to 280 feet, which is enough to penetrate the standard armor of the Imperial Guard within a hundred steps!

In order to deal with the flying dragon warship, the Imperial Ordnance Department specially developed a special bullet with phosphorus. After hitting an object, it will produce a violent burning open fire. It is used to deal with the flying dragon warship in the sky. It is ten times more powerful than the secret magic fire flying crows of the Dragon Family!

However, artillery is easy to build, and it is difficult to make a musket. The barrel of a musket requires fine and thinness. Unlike artillery, which can use thickened gun walls to solve the possible blow-off problem. This requires high-quality steel and seamless steel pipe production technology and also requires powerful gunpowder to make powerful bullets. Since the invention of black gunpowder in Hualong Continent, it has been mostly used to make fireworks and firecrackers, transmit signals, etc., and has been in a stagnant state in the research of war firearms.

Stimulated by the incident of the Imperial Navy being defeated by pirates, the Blood Clothing Guard sent a large number of people to spy on Oppa. The top secret information of various countries in the US mainland vaguely knew that the war firearms of European and American countries had developed to a very developed level in recent decades! The Imperial military realized that the gunpowder invented by the Hualong people was spread to Oppa. After the US mainland, it developed a powerful firearm, but was not suppressed by the Jiuzhou seal like magic, and instead posed a great threat to the Hualong people.

After realizing the important role of firearms in war, the military of the Later Tang Empire also conducted research on reduced versions of artillery while drawing on advanced steelmaking technology and firearm technology from the United States. The Empire finally recently developed the rear-mounted smoothbore gun, but because the time was too short and the output was not large, it was only secretly equipped with a Divine Machine Battalion of the Imperial Guard, with only three thousand muskets in total!

Data obtained from the experiment: The bullets fired by the musket cannot penetrate the body protection true energy of the seventh level or above cultivation level, and also the special stainless steel armor. It seems to have extremely limited functions, but how many people in a huge army have the seventh level or above cultivation level? How many troops are wearing heavy armor? Moreover, every time a bullet is shot, it consumes a lot of true energy. If you get shot continuously, no one can afford it!

Just like ordinary bows and arrows, there is no big problem for martial arts masters who have strong body protection and strong true energy to be shot one or two arrows, but if they are shot continuously, hundreds of them will see if you die! Therefore, the appearance of this musket is really a powerful new war weapon!

However, even though such a powerful thing is done very well in keeping confidentiality, it seems that the Free Alliance has also known it: In addition to the whereabouts of the Dragon Battleship Battalion, the Flying Dragon Battleship Battalion will not be reduced to the range of the musket. The musketeers who were transferred to the target of the attack seemed to be emptied a gun to welcome the gift...!

As for the new anti-aircraft artillery developed, the range is about 2,000 meters, which is indeed a great threat to the Dragon Warship. But even if we work overtime day and night, the military can only use one hundred gates in its hands to deal with the attacks that the Free Army may launch on the Forbidden Palace and the Imperial City. Most anti-aircraft artillery is preferred to be deployed to protect the Forbidden Palace and the Imperial City. There are only one or two gates in other places.

The explosion of an anti-aircraft shell with a caliber of 100 mm is approximately equivalent to a holy-level master in the early or mid-stage Lingji launching an attack with all his strength. It does not have enough density, and even the sword energy swinged by the free iron guard on the airship cannot be broken, and it will be directly chopped or detonated!

If it weren't for the fact that the commander of the Great Inner Guard Zhang Lingzan, the senior spy of the Blood-Clothing Guard and the master sent by Emperor Liu Piaoxu personally stole from Swan Lake to watch, and witnessed Hua Yinghong's death tragically by the frozen world and frozen into ice chips, Liu Piaoxu would really suspect that this was the extremely cunning Hua Yinghong who was secretly manipulating all this. If it weren't for him, who could have deployed Liu Piaoxu well and the plan that had been going smoothly made a mess?

The Blood Clothing Guard and the Five Thousand Imperial Guards attack Jinxiu Garden, and the Great Nei Guards and the Five Thousand Imperial Guards attack the headquarters of the Knife Alliance!

The Nangong family has been transferring assets these days and gathering a large number of people to return to Jinxiu Garden. How could Emperor Liu Piaoxu not know? He turned a blind eye and ignored it. He wanted to wait until Hua Yinghong opened the treasure of the divine work before calculating the accounts together, and then take action!

Now that the situation is chaotic, Liu Piaoxu can only choose the Nangong Family and the Headquarters of the Dao Alliance to fight back, and only then can he turn passive into activeness and bind the elusive dragon warships and free iron guards!

It was not yet time for the Dragon Guard to be dispatched, because the Free Iron Guard had the most important target that had not attacked the Forbidden City Palace!

Liu Piaoxu would never believe that the goddess of liberty, Liu Yufei and Taohua Fairy, Xue Xianxian would let go of the palace. Previously, the battle in the imperial capital was definitely to mobilize the imperial guards and the guards who guarded the palace. The ultimate goal was to make a fatal blow to the palace!

In the long night, everyone is trying their best to make plans and have their own plans to see who can laugh to the end!

Aerial height of more than 3,000 meters above the Imperial City, two hundred dragon warships floating quietly, waiting for the Liberty One airship to issue the final total attack order.

Report! Most of the attacks everywhere have been successful, and Jinxiuyuan and the headquarters of the Dao Alliance were attacked!

On the battleship of Liberty One, the Freedom Guard, who is responsible for signal contact, reported to the Marshal's special cabin in the waiting room.

Sister Xian, the battle tonight is extremely dangerous, so be careful,

Hua Yinghong, who seemed to have died on Mochou Island, appeared alive in the Marshal's cabin at this time, and said softly to Xue Xianxian, who was so beautiful that she couldn't even make a living in her arms: Just hold on the ground for a while, Sister Xian must withdraw at night according to the plan. Don't force it. I don't want you to be hurt at all.

Xuexian's soft and charming lips gently kissed Huayinghong's warm lips, saying: Don't worry, Sister Xian and two aunts have the power to protect themselves, but you and Fei'er should be more careful. The masters who peek at the wordless heavenly book and the treasures of the divine worker gathered together, and the Dragon Guard has not yet appeared, so it may be more dangerous to get treasures underground.

Liu Piaoxu was so calm that he was not very upset, except for the Shenyi Camp, but this kind of uproar did not force out his last ace Dragon Guard. Hua Yinghong said: This old fox is really not easy to deal with.

Hua Yinghong never wants to fight unprepared battles, and even if he wants to fight a decisive battle, he never wants to take risks. In order to prepare for a decisive battle with Ximen Jie, Hua Yinghong sneaked to Mochou Island in advance to check the terrain of the entire island to prevent those who are ill-hearted to lurk on the island to make trouble. Secondly, he used the earth escape technique and the true energy of the broken fire to penetrate several straight traps that were more than ten meters deep, allowing only one person to fall down. He built a rack with a wooden stick and piled up some rocks in order to deal with the powerful "freezing world". He took the opportunity to kill and paralyze all parties to help secretly command the treasure collection operation.

When Ximen Jie used his ultimate move to freeze the world, Hua Yinghong used the heavy true qi sword curtain to block the huge ice sword for a moment. In fact, he took the opportunity to roll into the rocks, break the trap and use the technique of earth escape to escape into a deep hole that had been made in advance.

As for the black shadow suddenly jumped up in the air and was frozen into ice chips, a dummy who was prepared in advance was also prepared in the same way as Hua Yinghong, and used the puppet technique of searching Tokugawa and Jiao to make an attempt to escape and die unexpectedly!

Such a golden plan to escape from the shell, and the young master of the Divine Sword at that time, Ximen Jie did take action without mercy. Two killers who pretended to be free guards happened to catch up. By all coincidences, I believe that Hua Yinghong's death temporarily deceived many masters watching the battle!

If Liu Piaoxu is not cunning, how could he succeed in seizing the throne from his father? Liu Yufei nipped her silver teeth aside and said hatefully: The father was originally a promising king, but because Liu Piaoxu's old fox was designed step by step, it led to the betrayal of the relatives and separation of relatives. The five kings divided the Tang Dynasty.

I guess it was because I recalled the situation ten years ago, Liu Yufei had a look of excitement on her pretty face that was so shattered.

Fei'er, after tonight, even if the old fox survives the disaster, he probably can't sleep well. Hua Yinghong hugged Liu Yufei's slender waist and comforted her in harmony, but sang to the outside: I'll order all departments to start the treasure hunt!

Chih!

A fireworks signal arrow shot down the dragon battleship, blooming into beautiful seven-color fireworks at an altitude of about a thousand meters.

Suddenly, in Zhongdu City, various fireworks signals in the air came and went one after another after another after another, disturbing the design of the visual line, Hua Yinghong's long-term treasure hunting finally began!

Tiantai Mountain was in a mess. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the sound of swords and guns fighting, the sound of true energy explosions, the sound of roars and musket firing...

The Imperial Guard Shenyi Camp is a secretly trained army. The Later Tang Empire is worthy of its comprehensive strength and ranks first among the countries in the Hualong Continent. It can be seen only from the newly built Shenyi Camp:

Each soldier of the Divine Wing Battalion is a master selected from the imperial guards, equipped with a new style of the newly developed Flying Divine Wing, which is similar to the improved Flying Divine Clothes of the Grassland Alliance. The two steel-boned iron wings that are spread out are ten feet long, supplemented by a light mechanism, and can easily retract and retract, allowing a fully armed soldier to fly up to about two hundred meters. When she is freely sliding in the air, she can also use a bow or musket to attack the target for a long range!

The Dragon Warship of the Free Army is indeed powerful, but its weakness is also very obvious: Compared with its huge body, the Dragon Warship's flight speed in the air is still too slow, and it will explode and ignite when it encounters fire. The maximum height of the God-winged Warship is more than 200 meters. Then it shoots up with a musket, which can pose a fatal threat to the Dragon Warship of the Aerial Warship of more than 1,000 meters! The God-winged Warship can also use the method of sliding in the air and leveraging each other to rise by hundreds of meters alternately, which is even more threatening!

If the Feilong warship stays at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters and does not sink, it will definitely not be able to accurately attack the targets on the ground, and may even cause accidental injuries. The effect will naturally be greatly reduced. Later, the Tang army imitated the Feitian Divine Clothes and developed the Feitian Divine Wings, which is indeed one of the powerful tools to deal with the Feilong warships.

Fifty flying dragon warships that appeared on Tiantai Mountain initially made a wonderful contribution, and one magic dragon blood bullet destroyed all the red cannons that bombarded the Buddha Sect. After a thousand Later Tang army god-winged warriors arrived for reinforcements, they caught them off guard and had poor protection. Sixteen flying dragon warships were actually hit by dense muskets, igniting hydrogen, and soon turned into burning flames. More than 300 free iron guards on the boat opened a small umbrella and landed on the ground. With the help of the complex mountain terrain and the escape technique that had not been practiced for a long time, they fought with the Blood Guards and the Imperial Guards on the Tiantai Mountain!

The remaining thirty-four warships fired the Sun Arrow and fought back against the Divine Wings warrior while rising upwards and quickly escaped from the attack height of the musket. They shot the Sun Arrow and suppressed the Divine Wings warriors to fly to the top of Tiantai Mountain to buy time for the disciples of the Buddhist sect to escape.

Ah! Ah! Ah! ……

A series of screams kept ringing, many Divine Winged Warriors who were eager to attack the mountain were shot by the powerful arrows shot from above, lost their motivation to fly, and fell heavily to the ground, directly falling into a terrible pool of meat paste!

withdraw!

In the darkness, the free guards who were forced to land were mostly escaped from the entanglement of the Blood Guards, Imperial Guards, and Traitors of the Buddha Sect, and retreated to the depths of Tiantai Mountain under the cover of the Dragon Warship.

At this time, Fawu, Faxin and the Great Fool Monk led hundreds of escaped disciples of the Buddhist sect to hide in the mountains...

Rumble! Rumble!

A roar of thunder suddenly sounded in a manor in the southwest area of ​​Zhongdu City. The vitality of heaven and earth fluctuated strangely, the wind stormed, and the sound was swelling. A colorful light as thick as a bucket rose into the sky and shot straight into the sky!

Is such a strange phenomenon visible to almost the entire imperial capital? Could it be that the worldly treasure of the wordless heavenly book was born?
