Chronicles of Celestial Origins

As time went by, until nightfall, suddenly, there was an earth-shaking rumbling sound, and many warships and chariots burst into light, illuminating thousands of miles around like daylight. As the lights of various colors flickered, more than a thousand warships and chariots soared into the sky. Get up and drive towards the city outline.

Not long after, when they arrived at the West City, the third column changed its position and the warship landed directly on the city wall.

The remaining three columns and warships were all stationary on the city wall.

On the Mingyue Fengling ship, everyone gathered in formation on the deck. Bai Jintang and others came out and said: "The legion's order requires our column to be responsible for the defense of the city wall and cooperate with the other three columns to prevent the Mubei demon from entering the city. We The alliance is responsible for the defense of the city from the sixth level to the seventh level for two thousand miles."

"Now I distribute the tasks. The first brigade is responsible for the position of the first two hundred miles of the sixth level of the city wall. The second brigade is responsible for the position of the sixth level between two hundred and four hundred miles. By analogy, the defense of the two thousand miles of the city wall is divided into Ten paragraphs.”

"Due to the heavy casualties suffered by our headquarters in the past, the First Brigade and the Third Brigade, the Fourth Brigade and the Seventh Brigade, and the Eighth Brigade and the Ninth Brigade merged. Therefore, the defense of the three vacancies will be directly under the responsibility of the alliance."

The "original Feiyang" directly took over the defense of the Third Brigade, the "former Goshawk" directly took over the defense of the Seventh Brigade, and the original "Mingyue" directly took over the defense of the Ninth Brigade.

"You should return to your positions immediately and take over the defense arrangements."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, and everyone turned into light and fled.

Tang Ning followed Yan Min and others to a stone palace on the left side of the city wall. Along with them were monks from various teams directly under the original Feiyang, a total of about fifty people.

The leader was a man with a chin and a tiger beard, who was directly under the captain of the fourth team. His surname was Li Mingkuan, and he was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Everyone stopped in front of the palace. Li Kuan, the captains of each team, the supervisor, and the deputy team entered the palace.

Tang Ning and others stood outside. Outside the city was still shrouded in yellow smoke, making it difficult to see what was real.

On the city wall, there are rows of huge cannons displayed, with a faint light flowing around them, and the muzzles of the cannons are pointed out of the city.

If he had seen this scene decades ago, he would have been shocked. But now that he has experienced these major battles, in his eyes, although the giant cannon in front of him is not broken, it is definitely not broken. Not a rare thing.

Behind each giant cannon is a mechanical giant hand that guides it. Next to the mechanical giant hand are three monks who are responsible for guarding, filling and firing the cannonballs.

These monks have low cultivation levels, and most of them are disciples of the sect that Qinghai moved to the interior of Qingzhou.

After more than a hundred sects in Qinghai were introduced to Fenghua City, monks of Jindan and above were absorbed into the ranks of various legions, while foundation-building and Qi-refining monks were all assigned to build defense fortifications on the Qinghai Islands.

Most of the many altar formations on the island, including this majestic city outline, were built by them.

A few years ago, Cangyun Island was besieged by several columns of the Mubei Allied Forces' leading troops for more than ten days. Although they were rescued, many of the formations inside were damaged. Therefore, Tang Ning and others rebuilt the formation altar and carved talismans some time ago. .

About a moment after the incense was poured, Li Kuan, Yan Min and others came out and arranged for everyone to take over the defense of the city wall.

Tang Ning was assigned to a huge cannon with flowing black light. This cannon was seven to eight feet in circumference, about ten feet high, and four to five feet wide. It stood on the east and west sides of the city wall. It was the fourth-order spiritual weapon Magnet Cannon. .

"Uncle Tang." Tang Ning suddenly landed in front of the cannon and heard a voice as clear as a wind chime.

He was confused and turned around to look, only to see a slightly thin woman with a weak face looking at him in surprise and joy.

This woman is none other than Yang Yunzhi, a disciple of the Sili Department of the original Qian Yizong. The other two are also disciples of the original Qian Yizong.

One person was tall and tall, and he was Zhang Han, a disciple of the Zhenfu Department.

The other person, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is Zheng Chaoshan, an inspector.

The three of them couldn't hide the surprise on their faces, and they quickly stepped forward and bowed.

After the Qian Yizong migrated, everyone wandered separately, divided into different teams, and stationed on various islands. At this time of crisis, being able to meet again was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Tang Ning was filled with surprise when she saw these three people. It was like a wanderer meeting relatives in his hometown: "No need to be polite, why are you waiting here?"

"Back to Uncle Master, the disciples were transported directly to this island by warships after following the sect to Fenghua City in Qingzhou. They have been preparing defense fortifications on the island over the years." Zhang Han said.

"I see." Tangning nodded and said, "Besides you, are there any other disciples of our sect on this island?"

Zhang Han replied: "A total of fifty people like us were assigned to this island. In the past few years, we have been living peacefully. We only built fortifications on the island every day. Until a few years ago, the Mubei demon invaded, and many disciples of our sect were There were only thirty-six people left in the disaster."

"Oh? Where are they now?"

"We are assigned to many teams, and we usually gather together to discuss matters. In addition to the three of us in the seventh team, there are also junior brothers Xu Qiyuan and junior brother Yan Song in the sixth team. The remaining dozens of disciples are in different teams."

"It's time to get together more!" Tang Ning said with some emotion: "Now that our sect is scattered and scattered in all directions, you disciples who are scattered outside should unite sincerely. In this situation, no one can care about anyone. We can only rely on It’s up to you.”

"Uncle Tang, how did you come to this island? Are there any other uncles?" Yang Yunzhi asked.

"I am currently affiliated with the Fourth Legion and came here with them. Apart from me, there should be no one else in this sect."

"Uncle Master, since you are here, I would like to ask you to organize a meeting and summon all the disciples on this island?" Zheng Chao said.

"Okay! If we can successfully survive this disaster."

When the three of them heard this, their expressions darkened, and the atmosphere instantly changed from joyful and joyful to a bit depressing and heavy.

At this moment, only a loud roar was heard, and outside the city, several rays of light rose into the sky, and the yellow smoke in the sky disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Looking around, the collapsed formation altar, the broken formation hub, and the broken formation flag were all in a mess.

The army of demons and demons surged toward the city walls with their crows covering the sky and the sun.

In the city, many warships and chariots rose into the air, crossed over the city walls, and headed towards the incoming demon army.

Thousands of warships and chariots lined up in the city, forming a solid defense line outside the city.

The army of monsters and beasts came overwhelmingly, and the warships and chariots of the Mubei Allied Forces on both sides also came up and fired at the warships and cannons in front of the formation.

Cannonballs were flying in the sky, and Xuanmen's fourth, fifth, and sixth columns were divided into three groups.

The fourth column was on the left, facing the left column of the Mubei Allied Forces.

The sixth column is located on the right, facing the right side of the Mubei Allied Forces.

The artillery shells from both sides flew together, and from time to time warships and chariots were sunk and destroyed. The reason why they had to fight head-on was to prevent the Mubei coalition's warships and chariots from going too deep and the cannonballs directly attacking the city walls. Therefore, it was necessary Block them thousands of miles away from the city walls.

The fifth column was located in the center, with warships and chariots lined up in a row, blocking the attack of the monster army. The warships and chariots fired shells, and huge airflow clouds rose in the sky.

There are thousands of giant cannons displayed on the city walls. Except for a small number of fifth-order Kunxuan cannons and dozens of sixth-order Tianling cannons, most of them are fourth-order magnetic element cannons.

The maximum range of the magnetic element cannon is between two and three hundred miles. Therefore, the warships of the fifth column can only avoid accidental damage by the cannonballs behind them if they are lined up in two rows, north and south.

Otherwise, the warships and chariots stretched for hundreds of miles, and the cannonballs on the city walls did not hit the enemy, but instead destroyed their own warships.

All the muzzles on the city wall have been adjusted to their extreme height. The cannonballs fired at this angle can reach the farthest range and avoid the warships and chariots outside the city wall.

As for whether it can hit the enemy, you don't have to worry at all. The monster beasts are huge and numerous. They are overwhelming like a moving mountain range.

As long as the cannonball is launched into the corresponding area, it will definitely cause certain damage to the monsters in the area.

Due to the limited range of the magnetic element cannon, the cannonballs can only be fired after the monster army has attacked two hundred miles away from the city walls.

But this does not mean that the army of monster beasts has to get closer than two hundred miles before attacking. Because the Kunxuan Cannon and Tianling Cannon have a range far beyond that of the Magnet Cannon, they can take the lead in attacking the oncoming Mubei monster army.

The heavy artillery mounted on the warships and chariots outside the city can also attack monsters at longer distances.

The magnetic element cannon only needs to wait for the monster army to approach the city wall before firing the shells.

As time goes by, the Xuanmen and Mubei coalition forces outside the city have entered a fever pitch, with lights of various colors rising into the sky. Many warships and chariots have fired cannonballs, and countless monsters have been wiped out by the cannonball attacks.

There was blood flowing in the air, and broken limbs were everywhere on the ground.

The army of demonic beasts fell down row after row under the attack of artillery shells, blood spilled in the sky, and their bodies turned into flesh and mud. However, they were still brave enough to attack one after another without fear of death.

Seeing that Mubei's army of monsters was getting closer and closer, everyone on the city walls held their breath and stared at the army of monsters that was coming to cover the sky and the sun.

Suddenly, brilliant blue fireworks bloomed over the city walls.

"Launch." Tangning shouted when she saw this.

Zhang Han pulled the slot handle with his giant mechanical hand, adjusted the angle of the cannon, and raised the muzzle high.

Zheng Chaozhao slapped the groove of the spiritual weapon, and the entire cannon burst into black light, making a loud bang. The whole body of the cannon trembled, and a black cannonball shot out from the muzzle, turning into a mysterious light. Leap in an arc, crossing the warships and chariots in front, and falling into the army of monsters.

In an instant, thousands of cannons fired from the city walls, and the overwhelming cannonballs surged like a tidal wave like an army of monsters.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, huge airflow clouds rose up, dozens of spaces were torn apart, black holes spread, and space ripples rolled like huge waves.

In the center of the explosion of the cannonball, many monsters were swallowed up by the torn space in the blink of an eye.

The charging monster was affected by the aftershock of the cannonball, and its huge body quickly shriveled up and fell straight down.

Like stacked stone bricks, the monster army fell down row by row, and the scene was very heroic.

The demonic beasts in the rear were almost stepping on the bodies of the demonic beasts in front of them. The army of demonic beasts rushed forward and backward, and finally came into contact with the monks guarding the warships and chariots.

Many magical powers appeared in mid-air. The residual power of the cannonballs, the magical powers of the monsters and the monks' spells were intertwined. Many spaces were submerged, countless corpses of monsters rustled down, and many warships and chariots were destroyed.

On the city wall, the loud rumbling sound shook the earth, and thousands of giant cannons were still firing shells, attacking the follow-up group of monsters.

The shells fired by thousands of magnetic cannons in one round were enough to flood the area for hundreds of miles. A large number of demonic beasts died in the area, and only a few were able to break out of the torn space.

Although the monster army was fearless and fearless, their leading army was intercepted by monks on warships and chariots, and the following army was overwhelmed by cannonballs, resulting in a disconnect between the front and rear.

On top of the city, cannonballs were fired continuously. Yang Yunzhi and Zheng Chaoshan kept running back and forth, filling the cannonballs from the stone boxes into the cannons.

Tang Ning directed three people to fill the cannon, fire the shells and clean the barrel.

The magnetic element cannon burst into light, and the shells shot out like meteors.

Two to three hundred miles away from the city walls, in a narrow land thousands of miles long from north to south, the space was torn apart by cannonballs, and a huge black hole swallowed everything. The torn space was tens of miles in front and back, and hundreds of miles long in north and south.

Countless monsters were devoured. Under the fierce attack of the cannonballs, the attack of the monster army finally slowed down. They attacked the troops surrounding the warships and chariots, and were gradually eliminated by the monks. Behind them were dozens of miles long and wide. A huge black hole hundreds of miles across.

The torn space prevented the monster army from effectively supporting the front team. After suffering heavy casualties, the monster army's attack finally stopped temporarily.

As soon as the attack of the monster army stopped, the Mubei coalition forces on the left and right sides also gradually retreated backwards. The giant cannons on the city wall naturally stopped attacking, and both sides ushered in a brief period of tranquility.

Outside the city walls is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The corpses of monsters on the ground are piled up like a mountain, layer upon layer. The scarlet blood gathers into a small river and flows slowly, and a fishy smell hits your nostrils.

Many warships and chariots were also damaged on Xuanmen's side. In the fifth column alone, at least hundreds of chariots and fleets crashed.

The two sides faced each other at a distance, and the Mubei coalition troops continued to gather, apparently adjusting their strength and preparing for the next wave of attacks.

The reason why Xuanmen was able to repulse the first wave of attacks by the Mubei Allied Forces was because when the Mubei Allied Forces attacked the formation, the Fourth Army transferred a large number of elite monks into the formation, causing heavy damage to the Mubei Allied Forces within the formation. .

Many high-level monks from Mubei were killed, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Coupled with the thousands of giant cannons displayed on the city walls, they were able to repel the Mubei coalition forces.

On the city wall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Mubei army retreating.

Tang Ning held a dark green tube more than ten feet long in his hand. He put it flushly into the cannon's filling port and pushed the upper slot of the tube to the top. He only heard a buzzing sound inside the barrel, and a long dark green tube was heard. The tube's light burst out and shook violently.

From the muzzle, countless black iron filings flew out. The whole process lasted for more than a hundred breaths. Countless black iron filings flew out from the inside, some even reaching the size of a fist.

These are the remains of cannonballs remaining in the barrel. If not cleaned in time, once the muzzle is blocked, the cannonballs cannot be fired and will directly explode the cannon and injure people around it.

According to the rules, the muzzle must be cleaned every time a Shimei cannonball is fired.

As the handle of the hole slot was reset, the light of the long green tube gradually extinguished. Tangning took it out of the cannon, put it in the stone box beside him, and asked, "How many more cannonballs are there?"

Yang Yunzhi replied: "There are still twenty-seven rounds."

Tang Ning nodded without saying anything. Each cannon on the city wall fired 40 rounds of shells.

Obviously, the senior leadership of the legion also believed that it was impossible to defend the city wall with these giant cannons alone. Therefore, they did not fire multiple artillery shells. They only hoped to use up the number of artillery shells and cause as much damage to the Mubei coalition forces as possible before evacuating. Otherwise, at least one would be issued. The number of hundred rounds of artillery shells, this is the standard number of artillery shells.
