Chapter 654: All Beings Are Equal in Front of Artillery
Ning Chen returned and ordered the army to withdraw!
Feng Qizhen asked curiously, "Why do we have to withdraw? She is alone, and so many of us rushed up and hacked her to death... Or we can capture her alive and keep her as a bed warmer for Ning Chen."
Everyone was shocked.
Ning Chen looked at him speechlessly, "Do you know what is in the box under her feet?"
"What?"
"Magic powder!"
Others had no idea... but Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen's faces changed drastically.
They had all experienced the magic powder case, and had seen what happened to people who were infected with magic powder?
This thing can turn a person into a ghost, and they will definitely die in the end.
Feng Qizhen was shocked, "Oh my god... This woman is so cruel!"
The army began to return along the same route.
Pan Yucheng tilted his head, "Are we going to retreat like this?"
"How is it possible?" Ning Chen sneered, "If we are stopped by a woman, wouldn't people laugh to death if it gets out?"
Pan Yucheng didn't ask any more questions, he knew Ning Chen must have an idea.
The army retreated more than ten miles.
Ning Chen ordered the army to stop.
It was impossible for the smoke to drift here from such a long distance.
Ning Chen looked at Yue Congyun and said, "Mobilize five artillery pieces and select two hundred Ning'an soldiers."
"Yes!"
Ning Chen asked people to prepare cloth and water, which would be used later.
He turned his head and looked at Qi Yuanzhong, "Brother Qi, I will lead people to clear the way in a while. Don't worry about the sound of gunfire. Just keep your troops still... Remember, you will meet me again in two hours."
"I obey your order!"
Everything was ready, and Ning Chen led the army to set off.
The scouts kept reporting.
Tan Tai Qingyue was still blocking the road.
......
Tan Tai Qingyue stood on a hill of boxes.
He didn't expect Ning Chen to come back again.
This time Ning Chen didn't ride a horse, and there were more than 200 people in the group.
Her cold eyes narrowed slightly, and she took out the fire starter.
Ning Chen looked at her and sneered.
"Tan Tai Qing Yue, I have said that no one can stop me... What you should do most now is to return to the capital of Xiliang immediately and persuade your king to write a letter of surrender and submit to me!"
Tan Tai Qing Yue did not speak, but blew the fire stick.
Ning Chen did not waste any more words and said in a deep voice: "Fire!"
Five cannons were pulled to the front and aimed at Tan Tai Qing Yue.
"Cover your ears!"
Ning Chen shouted.
In this canyon, the sound of cannons can deafen people.
Boom boom boom!!!
Five cannons fired at the same time.
The sound was like thunder, and the smoke was filled.
The shells were fired with a terrifying sound of breaking through the air.
For the first time, Tan Tai Qing Yue's cold eyes showed panic.
She dropped the fire stick and shot out backwards like lightning.
Boom!!!
The wooden box stained with tung oil suddenly caught fire.
But the next second, the pile of wooden boxes was destroyed by the shells.
But despite this, because the wooden boxes were stained with tung oil, the fairy powder was ignited and billowing smoke.
Due to the headwind, part of the smoke floated into the air, and part of it swept towards Ning Chen.
But Ning Chen was prepared.
He asked the soldiers to cover their mouths and noses with wet cloth and crawl on the ground.
The smoke floats up, lying on the ground, and there is a wet cloth covering the mouth and nose, so it’s not a big problem.
"Keep firing, and blast the place on fire!"
The sound of artillery sounded again.
The ground was hit with big pits, the soil splashed, and the burning wooden boxes were annihilated by the soil.
After a crazy bombardment, the ground was blasted with holes.
Ning Chen stopped the artillery.
Although the fire was extinguished, some places were still smoking.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Ning Chen took people forward to check.
There was white powder mixed in the soil on the ground.
Ning Chen had people bury all the white powder that could be seen.
The people were fine, but they were afraid that the war horses that caught up behind would accidentally lick it.
Tan Tai Qing Yue had disappeared!
Ning Chen sneered, what martial arts... In front of muskets and artillery, all beings are equal!
Even if it was Tan Tai Qing Yue, if she was hit by a cannonball, she would still be shattered to pieces.
After handling the scene, Ning Chen ordered to continue moving forward.
It took about half an hour.
"Report..."
The scout came running.
Because they were afraid that the horse would inhale the smoke of the fairy powder, the scout had to walk.
"Report to the prince, the woman in white has appeared again!"
Ning Chen's forehead was black.
This Tan Tai Qing Yue, it's really endless.
"Is she still alone?"
The scout said, "There is also a man in black clothes holding a flute."
Ning Chen frowned, "Next time, finish your words at once."
"Yes, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen asked, "How far is it from us?"
"Your Majesty, about three miles!"
Ning Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked up at the sky.
The sky had darkened.
The twilight in the canyon was even darker.
Damn...back and forth, I was blocked by this woman, Tan Tai Qing Yue, for another day.
Ning Chen thought for a moment, "Keep going!"
Before dawn, we must pass through the Xianlong Valley.
He had been delayed by Tan Tai Qing Yue for two days.
One more day of delay means that Xiliang Shengguang City will have one more preparation.
Ning Chen suspected that Tan Tai Qing Yue was not trying to stop him, but was buying time for Shengguang City to deploy troops.
He wanted to see what other tricks Tan Tai Qing Yue had.
Ning Chen led the army to continue forward.
In less than half an hour, Ning Chen saw Tan Tai Qing Yue.
Her white dress was very conspicuous in the dark night.
Ning Chen also knew the man in black next to Tan Tai Qing Yue, the guy who could control the wolf pack with the sound of the flute.
Could it be that Tan Tai Qing Yue wanted to use the same trick again and use the wolf pack to attack them?
Ning Chen sneered. Now that he had artillery, let alone the wolf pack... even the tiger pack would be useless.
But Ning Chen did not approach rashly.
He used a telescope to observe the surroundings of Tan Tai Qing Yue.
After observing for a long time, he didn't see anything special?
Just as he was about to put away the telescope, he suddenly moved to the cliff on the left.
Because it was too dark, he couldn't see clearly... but he found that the stone wall seemed to be moving.
Ning Chen subconsciously took a few steps forward.
This time he saw it clearly, and his face suddenly changed.
The stone wall was indeed moving.
Because the stone wall was actually full of bats.
These bats are all very big, densely packed in a large area, Ning Chen's scalp tingled.
Fuck!!!
Could this man playing the flute also control bats?
Ning Chen quietly retreated.
Pan Yucheng saw that Ning Chen's face was not right, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "The stone wall to the right of Tan Tai Qingyue is densely packed with bats. I don't know if they bite people?"
Pan Yucheng was shocked, "The man in black next to Tan Tai Qingyue can control the wolf pack, maybe he can also control the bats."
"Tan Tai Qingyue dared to wait for us here, it seems that she relies on those bats."
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. If these bats really attack people, it will be troublesome.
Cannons can't hit bats.
Muskets can, but the reloading speed is too slow.
These bats are densely packed, tens of thousands, if they really attack people, it will be really difficult to hit.
Ning Chen's eyes fell on the man in black beside Tan Tai Qing Yue, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Tan Tai Qing Yue relied not on bats, but on this man in black who could control bats.
As long as this man was dealt with, all problems would be solved.
Ning Chen's mouth curled up dangerously. He had already made up his mind and was ready to kill this man in black.
