Chapter 228 The Power of Industry

Seeing the tens of thousands of disciples of Nine Yang Sect rush out like a storm, Zhang Hao, and even the entire Qixia Kingdom Army, became nervous.

This, after all, is Nine Suns Sect! In the same history, there are almost three times as many super sects as Qixia Kingdom.

Different from the Legion, the disciples of the Nine Suns Sect have a higher cultivation level on average, and they are familiar with the terrain here. In this mountainous environment, they formed flexible combat groups in groups of three or five, or in groups of a dozen or so.

They are fast, agile, and sharp in attack. The left-wing legion was the first to contact the disciples of Jiuyangzong. As soon as I came into contact with it, I suffered a loss.

These Nine Yang Sect disciples have powerful talisman seals and precious talisman treasures in their hands. They formed large and small battle formations, like sharp knives, instantly cut through the defense of the legion, and broke into the legion following the weakness of the defensive barrier.

At this time, the battle in the sky is still going on. The new head teacher Guang Yuanzi led more than seventy people to push the Earth Shade Soul Punishment Formation to the extreme, a purple-black light surged, and a moment later, a tiger head with a height of one hundred feet roared in the void.

Purple-black ripples spread, and the vegetation withered and the rocks rotted where they passed. The ripples swept across, and the disciples of the Nine Yang Sect immediately rushed forward and broke into the army.

Once these disciples broke into the interior, the Qixia Kingdom's army began to collapse on a small scale. It must be admitted that Zongmen disciples are obviously stronger than the army if they fight alone.

After all, Zongmen disciples have accepted orthodox and complete practice; while the army is mostly recruited from ordinary people, and the army can only provide some popular practice and guidance.

Zongmen disciples can practice with one heart and one mind; but the army cannot.

Zongmen disciples are rich in resources, and each disciple is carefully selected. And the army has few resources, and it is even more impossible to select soldiers carefully-it looks almost enough.

Therefore, when fighting alone or in a small-scale battle, the sect disciples fight against the army.

But the army is not a soft persimmon, the 100,000 legions of Qixia Kingdom have just retreated from the battlefield. Under the command of Su Jianzhong, the Legion quickly made changes.

But seeing the legion suddenly dispersed, every group of thirty or so people formed a circled battle formation one by one, the soldiers were back to back, with their swords facing outward. Each group formed a larger battle formation.

Although the terrain was undulating, the Legion's line quickly stabilized.

However, such dispersion made it impossible for the legion to maintain the 'Mysterious Turtle Formation'. Su Jianzhong roared angrily, and asked the masters in the sky to push the "Tiangang Thunder Technique" to the extreme, blocking the attack of the Earth Sha Soul Slaying Formation.

But for the time being, the overall environment is not too good for the Qixia Kingdom Legion!

Liu Xinyu frowned slightly, and suddenly turned to look at Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, what do you think should be done now?"

Zhang Hao calmed down instantly, his mind tumbling rapidly. Zhang Hao dimly realized that this might be an opportunity, and he needed to seize this opportunity, seize the opportunity, seize it...

Have!

Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly brightened: "Your Highness, I don't know if you have heard such a sentence: The cultivation level is not enough to make up for it with magic weapons?"

Liu Xinyu rolled her eyes slightly: "Of course! Even ordinary people know this sentence!"

Zhang Hao smiled slightly, his cultivation base was not enough to make up for it, and it almost became a "folk song". But Zhang Hao mentioned this with a purpose, "Your Highness, now we have a brand new 'magic weapon'. That is... weapons and armor made of steel!"

Liu Xinyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately ordered that Liu Jingming, the governor of Ninghe County, who is also the city lord, go to battle—it's time to test it in actual combat.

Liu Jingming was in charge of the 10,000 elite Wu Fanghai brought to Ninghe County at the beginning, and they have completely changed their outfits. Even among the tens of thousands of troops in Ninghe County, a large number of them were equipped with steel shields and weapons.

Also, there are hundreds of brand new cloud piercing crossbows made of steel; as for crossbow bolts, there are tens of thousands. Compared with cannons, the manufacture of bows and crossbows is much simpler. It is enough for the Zhang family to provide the basic profiles, and the Artifact Refining Guild is responsible for the rest.

The crossbow bolt is simpler, the whole body is cast with ordinary black iron, and the arrow part dipped in a layer of molten steel is enough. As for the addition of formations, etc., it was completely handed over to the Artifact Refining Guild.

In addition, the more than 10,000 elites of the Dayang Group were all armed to the teeth with steel.

Dugu Junjie handed over the command of the artillery to Zhang Han, and led the elite of the Dayang Group to charge into the battle. Zhang Han continued the previous attack-the artillery was completely aimed at the high-altitude Disha Soul Slaying Formation. At this time, the shells of the artillery have been replaced with delayed air-burst shells.

During this period of time, the artillery had already attacked the Disha Soul Punishing Formation three times. Although they were neutralized each time, everyone firmly believed that if the Disha Soul Punishing Formation wanted to offset the power of the artillery, a considerable price had to be paid.

In fact, Guang Yuanzi was very annoyed right now. The attack distance of the artillery, even in terms of vertical height, was more than three kilometers—it could easily hit them. Every artillery attack can bring huge damage to everyone.

Inside the formation that outsiders could not see, traces of blood flowed from the corners of the mouths of Guang Yuanzi and others, and the armor on many people's bodies had already ruptured. Especially the sharp and strong shrapnel of the cannonball, which can cut even magic weapons.

Even Guang Yuanzi himself had a piece of shrapnel piercing through the armor on his thigh, almost cutting to the bone. Although the wound was blocked with true essence, but...it hurts! The shrapnel was so powerful that the flesh and blood on the thigh almost became a paste.

Moreover, compared with the attack distance of the artillery, the effective distance of the Disha Soul Punishing Formation is only three to four kilometers. Now three kilometers away from the Qixia Kingdom Army, the lethality of the formation has been reduced a lot.

While struggling, another wave of shells flew in. Seeing this, Guang Yuanzi finally had to roar angrily: "Withdraw!"

There is no way, if we don't withdraw, everyone will stay here; some of the early Nascent Souls in the formation can no longer hold on.

Fighting against the next wave of artillery again, Guang Yuanzi and others hurriedly retreated. But they still dragged the masters from Qixia Kingdom to prevent these masters from attacking ordinary disciples of Nine Suns Sect.

However, without the attack from the sky, the army of Qixia Kingdom has undergone new changes.

More than 20,000 steel legions suddenly appeared in front of the formation; the artillery also began to turn its muzzle, and launched an attack on the disciples of Jiuyangzong. Although the disciples of the Nine Suns Sect had dispersed, the overall situation was still quite crowded in this limited terrain.

The 25 cannons turned into killing machines, and every time they go down, they can clear the space of three or two hundred meters. After two attacks, the disciples of Jiuyangzong were terrified.

In the face of something like artillery, traditional methods such as defense, evasion, and attack instead of defense are all pale and powerless.

If the opponent is alone, he can fight back desperately once, surviving death, and forcing the opponent to return to defense. But in the face of shells, how to fight back? Honestly next to each other!

At the same time, more than 20,000 steel-armed legions appeared on the front line, fighting hand-to-hand with the disciples of Jiuyangzong.

In an instant, the disciples of Nine Suns Sect screamed in agony.

These steel legions do not defend at all, they trust 100% in the armor on their bodies. Talisman seals, talisman treasures, magic weapons, and magic attacks fell, but they couldn't break through the defense of the steel armor.

However, the elites who were mostly behind the armor raised their knives and cut off the disciples of the Nine Yang Sect who had just attacked and had no time to recover.

Leave the defense to the armor and attack with all your strength! These are the elites of the army, and the weapons in their hands are all forged from steel.

The armor on the disciples of Nine Yang Sect was damaged and their shields were pierced under the attack of steel weapons.

Often the first strike breaks the defense, and the second strike hurts life!

This is a strangulation of steel, which is also the power of industry.

Artillery is a product of industry.

Steel weapons and armor are also products of industry.

Nine Yang Sect originally had a strong advantage, but under the attack of these two industrial weapons, its morale was quickly shaken.

The cannons exploded, and each volley of 25 cannons would create a no-man's land; hideous 'scars' appeared among the tens of thousands of disciples of the Nine Suns Sect, and each volley represented hundreds, or even hundreds of thousands of disciples. Casualties of disciples.

Although the battle formation of a small team is flexible, it cannot stop the power of artillery!

There are also more than 20,000 elites who are armed to the teeth. They formed a knife formation, and they rushed into the disciples of Nine Yang Sect like spiral saw blades.

Suddenly, a faint bell rang from behind the Nine Suns Sect.

"It's a signal to retreat!" Someone beside Liu Xinyu said.

Zhang Hao suddenly said: "I suggest: Extend the artillery to block the retreat of the disciples of the Nine Suns Sect! The army is approaching and try to drive the disciples of the Nine Suns Sect together. Those bombs are ready to use."

Liu Xinyu adopted Zhang Hao's opinion, and a big strangulation kicked off!
