Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 44 Cannonball
"Everyone from the Chen Kingdom, wait a moment. The arrangements for you to wait outside the city have been broken. I will wait for the real soldiers to come to the city tomorrow, and then I will learn the methods of everyone from the Chen Kingdom, haha!"

In the sky, among those few Jingguo practitioners, someone spoke loudly again, accompanied by the other party's laughter after the last sentence, they retreated quickly without hesitation.

"Jingguo thief, wherever you go, stay!"

The people on Chen Guo's side, who had already realized that they had been tricked, saw that Jing Guo's people were about to leave, how could they be willing to let the other party retreat so easily, they all shot to stop them without hesitation.

Facing the obstacles of Chen Guo's masters, several Jing Guo's practitioners seemed calm and unhurried, as if they didn't care about everyone's obstruction at all.

One of the Jingguo practitioners suddenly had a scale on his head, emitting a blue-purple light, and a majestic aura erupted from the scale in an instant, like a god descending.

Facing the scales, all the masters of Chen Guo stopped their movements to block them, and became alert instead, while the practitioners of Jing Guo had ripples in the space in front of them. Afterwards, the figures of several people moved strangely for a short distance, then turned and left casually.

Seeing a few people like this, although the experts of Chen Guo were a little afraid of that scale, they couldn't help but make a move at this time, but as soon as they attacked, the space in front of them rippled a layer, and then The figures of those Jingguo practitioners disappeared.

"It seems that whether it's calculations or tricks, Jing Guo is currently superior!"

Looking at this scene in the sky, Xu Jin couldn't help thinking so in her heart.

Today, several practitioners of Jing State launched an attack suddenly, with the purpose of clearing away the outer wall that Chen Guo arranged outside the city. Before the opponent came, they had already expected that the outer wall was Chen Guo's preparation for Jing Guo's attack. s method.

Therefore, they first launched a sudden attack on the outer wall to attract Chen Guo's experts on the outer wall, and then used magic methods to get out a large number of Jing Guo soldiers. In order to avoid being seen through, the Jing Guo soldiers in the front row, It took a little more thought.

As for the masters at the wall outside Chen, most of them are fighting with them at this time. Those who are in charge of the overall situation below pay attention to the situation on the battlefield. Naturally, it is difficult to find the problems of these soldiers of Jingguo. Hurry up, they only need to hide it for a while, then Chen Guo will naturally be fooled and launch the means prepared on the outer wall, and the purpose of these practitioners will be achieved.

Moreover, their actions not only cleared the obstruction of the outer wall, but also further damaged the morale of Chen Guo's side. Even the few masters of Chen Guo who fell from the sky had ugly faces at this time.

Several practitioners of Jingguo have already retreated, and the outer wall no longer exists at this time. Xu Jin looked at the original location of the outer wall, where a clear gully was left, more than ten meters around, and the ground was destroyed in a mess. It shows that Chen Guo's methods arranged on the outer wall are very powerful.

Although the outer wall is no longer there, Xu Jin and the others still have to stay here for the time being, and they will not be able to follow the arrangement until the Lord General of Feiyong City has other arrangements for them.

Xu Jin and the blood owl Taoist soldiers rested on the spot together. The few blood owl Taoist soldiers who were injured just now were re-treating their wounds. The group of ordinary soldiers assigned to them also rested around the blood owl Taoist soldiers.

Compared with the blood lord Taoist soldiers with very indifferent expressions on their faces, the expressions on the faces of the ordinary soldiers around them are much more frightened.

Xu Jin noticed the expressions of these people. He didn't say words of comfort or do other things. When facing life and death, words are powerless. Only strength can make people feel at ease. As for strength, Xu Jin He may not be able to protect himself, and he really can't do anything for these people.

About half an hour later, Xu Jin and others received new orders. As some people withdrew into the city, some people stayed behind and set up some fortifications outside the city.

After entering Feiyong City again, Xu Jin took the blood owl Taoist soldiers under his command and settled down in a few houses not far from the city wall for a short rest.

That night, Xu Jin did not continue to patrol at night. After all, the defense arrangements in Feiyong City were already very tight, and there was no need to insert them temporarily. The rest of the night.

However, for the vast majority of people this night, the rest is not very stable. After all, everyone already knows that after dawn, they may soon face Jing Guo's attack again.

Just after dawn in the morning, a group of ordinary soldiers came to find Xu Jin at the order of Yu Ji and asked Xu Jin to meet him.

After getting the order, Xu Jin didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately went to see Yu Ji. When Xu Jin saw Yu Ji, she found that she was not the only one who came, and there were many officers with low positions.

After all the people arrived, Yu Ji didn't exchange greetings with them, and directly stated the purpose of calling them here.

"Yesterday, the Jingguo thieves came to attack, and it was already stated that today they will officially attack. The defenses in Feiyong City have been properly arranged at this time. I called you here to tell you the next tasks. Wait until the Jingguo thieves officially attack. When you need to perform your duties, you must not be confused!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Ji began to assign tasks to everyone present. Among the officers present, many of them were ordinary soldiers, so most of the tasks they were responsible for were related to logistics. In charge of controlling and fighting some defensive equipment, when it was Xu Jin's turn, Yu Ji said to Xu Jin very seriously.

"You wait for the blood owl Taoist soldiers, and you will also participate in city defense next. Considering your unique blood owl technique, I specially assigned ten specially refined cannonballs for you to control. I hope you can exert their power!"

"Yes!"

When Xu Jin heard the words, she immediately stood up and responded.

After the order was finished, Yu Ji asked everyone to go back to prepare. Xu Jin didn't go back directly, but first went to see the ten artillery crossbows assigned to them.

The ten guns and crossbows had been placed on the city wall at this time. After Xu Jin climbed to the top of the city, he quickly found the ten guns and crossbows erected on the city wall in one place.

Seeing these ten crossbows for the first time, Xu Jin couldn't help but focus his eyes slightly. He saw the ten crossbows in front of him. The body of each crossbow was about five meters long, and the material looked like It is some kind of metal, and it is obvious that there are some runes on the surface. The material of the crossbow string cannot be seen, but it feels very tough.

Under the crossbow body of each pair of crossbows, in addition to connecting the brackets, there are also some other components connected to fix them on the city wall. Xu Jin went forward to move them and found the range of movement of these crossbows It is extremely flexible and can be rotated at a large angle, which also means that the range that can be attacked is also large.

Xu Jin picked up another arrow from the side, put it in her hand and looked at it carefully. The arrows used in these crossbows are each nearly two meters long, and they are as thick as an arm, so they hold a lot of weight in their hands.

Runes were also engraved on the wooden arrow shafts, and the material did not seem to be ordinary wood. What surprised Xu Jin was that the arrowheads of these rough arrows were actually made of jade, and the material felt a little fragile, as if These arrows can be broken easily.

However, Xu Jin found that there seemed to be something sealed inside these jade arrowheads. Although Xu Jin didn't know what it was, she guessed that what was inside might be the most lethal thing of this crossbow.

It is a pity that the number of these crossbow bolts is not very large. Each cannon crossbow is only equipped with ten crossbow bolts.

After seeing the ten crossbows, Xu Jin quickly brought all the blood lord Taoist soldiers over. After all, Jing Guo might be coming to attack today. They need to be familiar with the operation of the ten crossbows in advance.

It didn't take long before all the blood lord soldiers came to the top of the city and became familiar with the operation of these ten crossbows. The operation of these crossbows is actually very simple, no different from ordinary crossbows. The only difference may be the control When you need to inject mana into it, especially when you draw the bowstring, if you don't inject mana, it is very difficult to draw the bowstring.

Xu Jin tried it out on her own. Without using mana, she exerted all her strength, and managed to wind the cannon.

After getting familiar with the operation of the artillery crossbow, Xu Jin and others waited on the city wall, and the time passed slowly, and soon it was dusk.

"Could it be that Jing Guo tricked him again?"

Looking at the sunset that was about to set in the distance, Xu Jin who was standing on the top of the city couldn't help thinking in his heart, and many people in Chen Guo had the same thought.

The practitioners from the Jing Kingdom yesterday said they were going to attack today, but from morning to dusk, there was no movement from Jing Guo's side. Xu Jin stood on the top of the wall, and did not find any Jing Guo's men approaching. Chen Guo The crowd stood guard for a day as if they were facing an enemy, but in the end they got nothing.

Some ordinary soldiers of the Chen State, under the stress of the day, were already a little tired at this time, and a slack thought was born in their hearts, thinking that Jing Guo might not attack today.

The officers on Chen Guo's side also noticed this situation. Xu Jin glanced over the city, and he found that some soldiers not far from him had already started to rotate.

Soon, the sunset in the sky completely set, and the surrounding sky gradually darkened. After a while, the night really fell.

At this time, most of the people on Chen Guo's side felt a little annoyed in their hearts, and they were played by Jing Guo's people again throughout the whole day.

However, there was still a small group of people who did not let down their vigilance as night fell, but became more vigilant, including Xu Jin.

I don't know if it's because of the comprehension of the artistic conception of killing. As night fell, Xu Jin standing on the top of the city had a strange feeling in his heart. This feeling made Xu Jin feel that a big battle was approaching .
