Chapter 462: The Power of the Vermillion Bird

Most of the Ganzhou army saw this scene.

But they could not understand what it meant.

Only in the camp where the formation was set up could people clearly see the scene of the sword.

A deep dent appeared on the ground, and the tent affected by the sword light was split into two. There were only a few charred fragments left where Luo Bairen was originally, and it was difficult to distinguish its original appearance.

The momentum of this sword shocked the whole audience!

The remaining alchemists hesitated for a moment and turned to flee. Most of them were only below the level of the Taoist priests, and had no practical experience at all. The fear of Bairen's death alone was enough to destroy their will. Escape was the only thing they could think of at this moment.

If they lost this battle, they would have a chance to start over, but if they died, they would have nothing!

They were alchemists, how could they be buried in such a remote and shabby place?

Luo Qingqing did not chase immediately, but dismantled the dragon scales and slashed at the pillars that were no longer guarded.

The magic weapon was broken, and the formation lost its effectiveness instantly.

Olina felt her body lighten instantly.

"Go help Her Royal Highness the Princess, I'll take care of Nai Qing!" Luo gently shouted at the Dragon Girl.

The latter flew up again with her head held high, her heart full of indignation! The scars on her body were nothing to a dragon. Olina was ashamed that she had once again fallen into the hands of the Privy Council. If she was the only dragon, it would be fine, but there was a comparison on the battlefield!

Everything is afraid of comparison.

Compared with Chi's agile flying posture, she seemed a little too honest.

What's more, Chi has always regarded himself as a real dragon, and it seems that she can't be considered a dragon even though she has wings. Under resentment, Olina vented her anger on the enemies who blocked Ning Wanjun.

She pulled up the altitude and dived down again, aiming at the crossbow machine and copper cannon placed on the high slope and sprayed rolling flames!

These defenseless long-range strike positions suddenly exploded.

Gunpowder barrels exploded one after another, lifting the surrounding cannon barrels and soldiers into the sky; the wooden crossbows carbonized and disintegrated in the flames, and the water tanks prepared in advance in the positions were simply unable to cope with the rapidly spreading fire. In less than half an hour, two attack positions had collapsed.

Without the suppression of long-range crossbows and projectiles, the "bridge-building" troops advanced much faster. In order to avoid the diversion of the river, Qian Zhi and others deliberately raised the ice surface by several feet to form a slender arch so that the water could pass under the arch.

When the ice bridge completely connected the east and west banks, Ning Wanjun was the first to rush to the river beach.

On the opposite side, a dark crowd gradually gathered from the top of the river bank, and countless flags were connected together, looking like a copper wall.

If the previous recovery of various places in Shenzhou was a small fight, this was the first field battle faced by the Jinxia Army, and it was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. When ordinary people saw this posture, shaking hands and feet and breathing rapidly were all mild, and being able to stand up straight was already very good.

Unfortunately, the vanguard was none other than the former Leizhou border troops. They had fought bloody battles with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and they no longer considered the number of people as the only key to victory or defeat.

"You don't want to give up the river beach?" Ning Wanjun threw down the steel shield - although this thing has outstanding defensive power, it will slow down her charge speed.

"It is a reasonable choice to attack halfway across the river." Qiuyue followed the princess closely. If Her Royal Highness threw down the shield, she would be Her Royal Highness's strong shield. "This beach can't accommodate many people. As long as we can be pushed back to the shore, the soldiers still crossing the river will be in chaos."

"It's a good plan, but we have to see who the opponent is." Ning Wanjun pushed the joystick and pointed Suzaku's axe gun straight ahead, "Let's go."

"Yes!"

At this moment, a rustling sound came from the distance, and a dense rain of arrows was thrown out from the enemy's ranks, flying towards the river like locusts.

Ning Wanjun's choice was not to pick up the big shield again, but to control Zhuque to take a big step forward!

More than 20 Xuanwu followed behind, raising their shields above their heads, forming a mobile shelter.

The army that crossed the river first was the same. Facing the rain of arrows covering the sky, no one chose to retreat, and they charged behind the mechanical beasts!

Unlike the Ganzhou Army, the weapons in these people's hands were all pneumatic rifles. They did not need to get close to the enemy to fight. The moment they stepped on the river bank, the counterattack began.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the mechanical beasts and the ice wall of the living dead, and the rest fell into the crowd - but in addition to weapons, the Jinxia Army also made considerable improvements in defense. Every soldier wore cloth armor with iron sheets and a stamped iron helmet on his head. They benefited from the increase in mineral production after the Baisha Mine was put into the Tiandongyi mining, as well as the leap-forward progress in smelting technology. Although these armors are far inferior to plate armor and only protect important parts, as long as you are not too unlucky, it is not a big problem to block arrows.

The situation on the Ganzhou Army side is completely opposite. They only have sword and shield soldiers and cavalry wearing armor, and the spearmen and archers are only wearing cloth clothes. Facing the air rifles, they are almost knocked down at a distance of less than 200 feet. Before the two armies came into contact, the soldiers in the front row fell down inexplicably, and the people behind just filled the vacancies and followed suit. This kind of confused battle damage caused a certain fluctuation in the front line, and the originally neat queue shook like water waves.

What really tore the defense line was the bright red mechanical beast.

The central army that had been mobilized had just time to launch a round of arrow rain, and Ning Wanjun had already reached the top of the slope. The spear pole that was as thick as an arm swept left and right. Those who touched it were no different from paper. Some had broken bones and fell to the ground, and some had their organs burst. The soldiers found that the long spears in their hands that were used to deal with the cavalry were useless in front of the mechanical beasts. When the two collided, the huge impact force first affected the gunmen - they screamed and scattered, and then were run over by the mechanical beasts!

"Hold on, don't retreat! Those who retreat without permission will be killed!" Qi Duming shouted on horseback, but he couldn't stand the gap in the line being torn bigger and bigger.

There were only more than 20 mechanical beasts, and the momentum of the attack on the square formation was even more amazing than that of a thousand heavy cavalry. The vanguard of the Jinxia Army was not known for its speed. Because of this, the situation that the pressure could be greatly relieved after blocking the first wave of cavalry attacks disappeared without a trace on the mechanical beasts. Every step forward of these black monsters seemed to be extremely solid, slow, but unstoppable.

Ning Wanjun uses an axe gun, and close combat is her best way of fighting, but other mechanical beasts are not like this - this batch of improved Xuanwu are equipped with shield gun modules, with a large steel shield on one side and a heavy-duty air rifle on the other. When the weight is no longer a combat defect, the design of the gun has become more imaginative: the caliber is increased, the pressure of the gas tank is increased, the magazine capacity is doubled, and it is directly equipped with a compressor. The air sensor can complete the operations of shooting, compressing gas, and changing bullets with just a move of the finger, and the power of the air rifle has also been improved by several levels.

As for the disadvantages, I am afraid that the only problem left is that the gun is set on the side of the Xuanwu, which is not convenient for the driver to aim and shoot. However, when these bipedal monsters rushed into the enemy camp, this disadvantage no longer existed.
