I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 313 Water Tricks Attack the City (asking for monthly tickets)

As Sang Que and Qiao Ling approached the pass, a sharp arrow shot down from the city wall and stuck a few dozen meters in front of them.

"Stop whoever comes!"

Sang Que and Qiao Ling stopped and looked up at the city wall.

There was a brazier every ten meters on the city wall, and a row of guards holding longbows stood on it. There were also cannons mounted on the battlements between the guards, and the black muzzles were facing the open space below.

Right above the city gate, there was a man whose armor was different from the other guards. He was holding a monocular telescope and looking towards them.

Sang Que looked at the cannons carefully. They were all of relatively ancient style. She had never seen cannons in the cities when she was in Wangshan City or when she went to patrol the state. She thought that they must have been stored in warehouses before and only taken out when a real war broke out.

If the Xuan Dynasty has already used artillery on a large scale and will popularize muskets in the future, Mingyue Mountain must also be prepared.

It’s the right thing to do to come out and take a look. At least you’ll know what to prepare for next.

Qiao Ling cleared his throat and shouted to the city wall, "Nine Songs Bell Doctor, I have something important to tell you!"

The guard on the city wall saw Qiao Ling's mask clearly, and after staring at Sang Que next to him for a while, he did not let them enter the city directly, but let the guard down from the city wall.

The man came running over quickly with a big knife in hand, and stood five steps away, looking over with his head stretched out.

"Please don't be surprised, sir. Recently, there are many people pretending to be bell doctors to cheat and open the city gates. We have to be on guard. I wonder what important matter you have?"

Qiao Ling's lips were pursed under the mask, and he was somewhat speechless. He took a breath and said, "The Qianshou Army sent a scout team to sneak into the upper reaches of the Three Rivers to sacrifice human sacrifices to the water ghosts. If all goes well, the water ghosts will come to attack the city around the hour of Yin."

Hearing this, the guard's pupils trembled, "Please find a safe place to hide temporarily. If there are water ghosts attacking the city tonight, wait until we defeat them, and then invite you to enter the city."

After saying this, the guard remained alert, turned around and ran away.

Sang Que looked at Qiao Ling, "You just said that with your identity, it's not difficult to enter the city?"

Qiao Ling clenched his fists, "Can you blame me for this?"

In desperation, Sang Que summoned the sedan chair again and carried her and Qiao Ling to a small hill in the distance for temporary shelter.

Along the way, Sang Que collected some corpses, and she didn't know whether the Qianshou army could gather enough human sacrifices. When they approached the city pass, they didn't see any corpses in the river.

At four o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and a large mass of dark clouds rolled in, gathering right above the Sanchahe Pass. The clouds were thick and low, and blood-red lightning flashed silently.

Strong winds raged over the Three Rivers, like the howling of ghosts and wolves. Whirlpools appeared everywhere in the rivers, and corpses floated in the whirlpools, all of them human sacrifices.

Boom!

The storm came suddenly and only poured down above the city pass. In the rivers on three sides of the city, the water surface bulged strangely and huge black shadows quickly emerged from the bottom of the river.

boom!
The earth trembled, and arms made of pale rotten corpses rushed out from the river and slammed heavily on the ground.

The corpses were pale, greasy and swollen, with water plants from the river bottom entangled all over. Some were even covered with shellfish, and looked horrible.

They struggled to get up, with a rumbling sound coming from their mouths and large amounts of river water gushing out of their bodies, as they walked towards the city wall in front.

"put!"

A loud shout resounded through the night, and artillery fire rang out from the city walls, instantly blowing the corpses on the river bank to pieces.

The cinnabar in the shells formed a large red smoke. When the corpses touched the smoke, their skin was immediately burned black, slowing down their pace. The first wave of water ghosts and slaves were flattened by the artillery fire, but the river water on three sides fell into a violent state, like a wild horse running away, roaring and galloping, huge waves surged one after another, colliding with each other, splashing water several feet high, and constantly hitting the river bank.

The strong wind rolled up the bean-sized raindrops, which hit the river surface fiercely, stirring up layers of ripples. The waves roared, the earth trembled, and the turbid river water carried mud, branches and debris, rushing forward with an unstoppable momentum.

Huge arms formed by corpses once again rushed out of the river and slammed heavily on the ground. This time they were much closer to the city wall than the last time.

Boom boom boom!
The artillery fire roared again, continuously bombarding the gathered corpses. After the corpses were shattered, they instantly turned into water, gathered together and flowed towards the city wall.

At the same time, torrential rain formed puddles on the city walls and everywhere in the city. Pale and swollen corpses crawled out of the puddles and attacked the nearby soldiers.

The soldiers had red scarves wrapped around their heads, and Bagua mirrors were embedded on the chest and back of their armor. They used peach wood spears carved with runes to resist the corpses.

On the battlefield, the morale and murderous intent of the soldiers and generals gathered into an evil spirit that could kill ghosts, rising into the sky, unstoppable.

Amid the shouts of everyone, the soldiers thrust their spears, and the corpses exploded into water. The fighting continued in the heavy rain.

At the beginning, the defenders of Sanchahe Pass still had the upper hand, but the water ghosts kept coming and could not be killed completely, and the soldiers were just wasting their energy.

As the water level of the river rose higher and closer to the city wall, another huge arm rushed out of the river and slammed hard into the eastern city wall.

With a loud bang, the guards and cannons on the battlements were knocked away, and terrible cracks spread on the city wall. Just one more heavy blow and the wall would surely collapse.

On the city wall, the exhausted soldiers were accidentally hugged by the corpses and quickly dragged into the pool of water at their feet, where they drowned.

The rain clouds above our heads were growing thicker and lower, and the rain was pouring down heavily. If this continued, the entire Sanchahe Pass would be engulfed by the flood.

Qiao Ling stood on a small hill in the distance that was not affected and clenched her fists nervously. She could save people, she could even bring the dead back to life, but facing the situation before her, she was powerless.

Just as Qiao Ling was about to ask Sang Que to do something, Sang Que pulled out the scroll behind him and shook Xia Chan and Xuan Yu out of it.

The summer cicada cried "ouch" and fell to the ground, eating a mouthful of grass.

Sang Que said quickly, "Xiao Chan, come with me to kill the water ghost! Xuan Yu, you stay here."

After saying that, Sang Que nodded to Qiao Ling, grabbed Xia Chan's arm, and the two ran towards the battlefield. Just now, Sang Que had been observing and thinking about how to drive away the water ghost, and now there was a way that could be tried.

Braving the heavy rain, Sang Que and Xia Chan teleported directly to the gate tower of the front city gate. The guards who were fighting below were suddenly shocked when they saw the two of them.

Sang Que ignored him and instructed Xiao Chan, "Use your hair to fix the three walls and resist the heavy blows from the water ghosts in the river. The walls cannot fall down, otherwise the river water will flood in and everyone will die!"

Xia Chan nodded seriously, and the thick black hair draped behind her immediately spread wildly along the city tower at her feet to the three walls. Like a black river, it quickly covered the outside of the city wall. The outer layer woven into a net, and the inner layer pierced into the cracks in the city wall, and took root like a tree root.

There were things in the bricks to prevent evil spirits, which burned Xia Chan's hair. She frowned in pain, tightly grasped the corner of her skirt, and puffed out her cheeks to persist. Even after her hair was burned, she continued to give birth.

She is now a ghost-level ghost, and the quantity and strength of her hair have been comprehensively improved, so it can resist the damage of city bricks.

A huge arm stretched out from the river on three sides again and hit Xia Chan's hair hard. Xia Chan groaned but did not retreat. When her hair touched the huge arm full of corpses, it immediately entangled itself around it.

Using the method Sang Que taught her, she invaded the corpses and destroyed the structure of the corpses and the giant arms from the inside, making them unable to continue.

This step requires very delicate and complicated operations. Qiao Ling also taught Xia Chan a lot during this period, and Xia Chan did it with ease.

In the eyes of others, they only saw the huge corpse's arm slapping the black hair, causing the black hair to sink and bounce inward, and all the corpses exploded into water.

The soldiers fighting on the city wall were stunned by this scene.
