Witch Wind

Chapter 121 Sisters United (Part )

Xing Tianli is not a qualified commander.

Of course, he wasn't.

In his previous life, he was a liberal arts student and a senior otaku monk; in this life, he was a poor, helpless little orphan who had been blind for more than ten years and had never attended a proper school.

He had never learned any serious moral articles, nor had he ever touched upon any major state affairs. As for those things like strategizing and deploying troops, he knew nothing about them - he was like a wild boar spirit that had gained some Taoist skills, becoming as strong as steel and invulnerable to swords and guns, and joyfully broke into a porcelain shop and began to dance the yangge happily!
Anyway, ordinary means can't hurt him.

As for how many unlucky people were smashed to pieces because of his dancing, and how many pots and pans were broken into pieces...what does it have to do with him, an "outsider"?
Therefore, after the Black Borneo coalition forces landed on Xilu Island, they saw that there were not many soldiers left in the territories of the major lords on Xilu Island, and they were captured by the armies of Qingshangang, Kutengyuan and others almost without any resistance. He suddenly felt bored, so he abandoned his army and left leisurely.

Xing Tianli didn't care how the Black Borneo coalition fought, robbed, and wreaked havoc on the Dongyun people's own territory.

He just told Xing Tianren and others to hold on to the new troops trained by the native young men and lead them towards Yunxiang Island. As for when they would arrive, Xing Tianli was not very concerned.

Anyway, as long as you can get there, it's fine.

After leaving such an extremely irresponsible order, Xing Tianli just walked away.

Well, not alone.

He took away Tom and Jerry, took away the Tata team, and took away Zhao Qingxuan who was clinging to him.

As soon as Zhao Qingqi left, the two old treacherous ministers Cai Jing and Tong Guan followed him happily; and the bloated and fat Prince Zhudiaochong, under Wei Zhongxian's painstaking persuasion, reluctantly followed with a group of elite Jinyiwei.

Well, plus Sophie and her dozen or so maids.

The composition is a bit complicated, but the number of people is not large, only about a hundred in total.

Dongyun Island has nearly a thousand large islands. Its huge territory is roughly circular, with four archipelagos on the four sides, with Yunxiang Island as the core in the middle, and there are also hundreds of large islands distributed around it.

The waterways between the Sifang Islands and the central islands where Yunxiang Island is located are extremely complex and the hydrological conditions are extremely dangerous. After years of surveys, the Dongyun authorities finally determined that there are only seven proper waterways of varying sizes from the western islands to Yunxiang Island.

There is only one main channel that can accommodate large ships of more than 1,000 tons, can pass through 24 hours a day, is not affected by the tide, and has no dangerous reefs. The Dayun Gate is like a golden gate and jade lock, tightly grasping the throat of this sea thoroughfare.

In the vast ocean, two large arc-shaped islands stand facing each other from north to south.

The two islands are like eyebrows, with similar shapes and sizes. From south to north, they are seven or eight hundred miles long.

Between the two islands, there is a steep cliff that is three to five hundred feet high. The mountain wall is like a screen, smooth and clean without a single blade of grass or tree. Between the two islands, there is a strait that is twenty miles wide at its widest point and only about ten miles at its narrowest point, with a total length of more than a hundred miles.

This strait has extremely deep waters, is calm all year round, and is very easy to navigate.

These two large arc-shaped islands are the "Dayun Gate". The strait in the middle is the Western Dongyun Islands, the only main channel leading to the central area of ​​the Dongyun Island Union.

Since the founding of the Dongyun Island Union, the Dongyun royal family has spent a lot of money on Dayun Gate and built extremely impressive fortifications here. After thousands of years of operation, there are now more than 10 million residents on the two large islands, and all the buildings on the islands are built to defend against attacks from the West.

In the history of Dongyun, Dayunmen has saved the destiny of Dongyun many times.

In those days, Emperor Chongzhen launched twelve consecutive punitive wars against Dongyun. In seven of them, the punitive fleet had already attacked Dayun Gate and conquered more than 200 islands in the west, but suffered heavy casualties here and was never able to advance a single step.

at night.

partly cloudy.

There was a crescent moon in the sky, but it was also covered by thick clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark.

The cold wind from the north howled, and suddenly, snow particles fell unreasonably. The sparse snow particles greeted the sky impatiently, and the cold wind blew through the sky, turning into snowflakes the size of a baby's palm and hitting them all over.

In the heavy snow, a pure white wooden sailboat silently approached Dayunmen.

In the middle of the night, off the west coast of Dayunmen, dozens of scattered islands were brightly lit, with densely packed tents all over the mountains and fields, and torches everywhere, making the camp as bright as day. The low roar of diesel generators could be heard from afar, and the bright lights of searchlights were sweeping wildly towards the sea.

Dozens of ironclad ships were lined up on the sea, and every half a quarter of an hour, they fired at Dayunmen. Along with the dull sound of explosions, balls of fire exploded on the beach of Dayunmen, and heat waves rolled up, blowing up countless soil and rocks.

When Xing Tianli and others arrived, dozens of wooden boats quietly docked on the west beach of Dayunmen South Island. With a shout, more than 2,000 Dongyun soldiers jumped off the sailboats, rushed into the cold sea, and quickly landed on the beach.

Amid roars, dense gunfire rang out in the jungle at the edge of the beach.

The charging Dongyun soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground, and small-caliber shells fell like raindrops, raising waves of earth on the beach and blowing away three or five unlucky Dongyun soldiers from time to time.

The warships on the sea quickly locked onto the firing points in the jungle and bombarded the area where the gunfire and artillery fire came from.

Flames shot up into the sky in the jungle, screams continued, and the firepower density decreased rapidly.

The Dongyun soldiers who landed on the beach cheered and rushed into the jungle, and then there was no movement.

Xing Tianli and others stood at the bow, staring at this sudden beach landing battle in amazement. Tong Guan tore his beard hard and kept hitting his head with his fist: "Am I getting old and confused? Or am I out of date? Although the equipment used by the soldiers has changed in today's world, it is still hard to drive soldiers into the jungle in the dark night..."

Tong Guan asked blankly: "Is this, to commit suicide?"

Cai Jing kept stroking his long beard and blinking his eyes. He didn't know how to march and fight, and he had no interest in learning it. Tong Guan, who was made a king for his military merits, said he didn't know, so he naturally wouldn't speak out and show his weakness.

Wei Zhongxian said indifferently: "Well, let's not talk about anything else, these guys have the spirit of elite soldiers. Let's not talk about how they fight, at least they dare to fight. Well, soldiers who dare to fight, dare to charge, and dare to die are good soldiers!"

Xing Tianli said quietly, "Not only do they dare to fight, charge, and die, they even dare to disembowel themselves. According to you, aren't these peerless warriors?"

Wei Zhongxian's eyes bulged out and he was speechless.

Xing Tianli once again offered up the Tongtian Yuling Banner, and the wind blew coldly, and a thick fog like milk appeared on the sea surface, flowing along the sea surface. The mist covered an area of ​​more than ten miles, and also covered several nearby reefs that were exposed above the sea surface.

Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Wei Zhongxian's eyes all twitched.

In the last days of the Dharma, all of these great celestial beings were careful to restrain their auras and preserve their lives, not daring to waste any of their magical powers. If it wasn't a life-threatening situation, even if you spit on their faces, they would just swallow their anger and would never fight with anyone over such a small matter.

What did they see?
Xing Tianli actually took out a treasure with a solemn and terrifying aura, which was even more unpredictable than the heavenly weapons in their hands. In this Dharma Ending Age, he actually activated a "formation" covering an area of ​​more than ten miles?
The old guys were extremely envious and jealous.

They didn't think of anything else - they couldn't have imagined that Xing Tianli actually possessed the fundamental method that allowed him to practice freely in the Dharma Ending Age - didn't this completely subvert the concept of 'Dharma Ending Age'?

They just thought that there was a terrible big force behind Xing Tianli, and that big force gave Xing Tianli enough resources, enough to squander his magic power even in the Dharma Ending Age. For example, dozens of kilograms of elixirs and immortal pills, for example, hundreds of thousand-year-old spiritual medicines and the like.

The fingers of the three old treacherous ministers were trembling - knowing that you were born in the Da Xia Wu family, does that mean the Da Xia Wu family can be so unreasonable?

Although, everyone knows that among the three ancient families, Yu, Xia and Shang came the earliest and occupied the best ancestral lands. Even in the Dharma Ending Age, the situation of these three families is the most prosperous among all the families... No matter how prosperous you are, you can't let a young generation waste it like this, right?

The wind was blowing and the gray fog was rolling. A few people with enough cultivation saw that in the gray fog, there were ghosts with murderous spirits and blood all over their bodies. They cried and flew out from the jungle, flew for dozens of miles, and were directly swallowed by the Tongtian Yuling Banner.

About quarter of an hour later, dozens of wooden boats slowly approached another beach.

Nearly two thousand Dongyun soldiers roared and rushed to the beach. Gunfire rang out in the jungle, and warships on the sea bombarded the jungle. All the Dongyun soldiers who rushed to the beach were killed or wounded, and their souls were all sucked into the Tongtian Yuling Banner.

For the entire night, the two islands north and south of Dayunmen did not stop.

Small groups of soldiers kept rushing to the beach, launching desperate charges, and then died on the way.

Its daybreak.

The snow got heavier too.

On the west side of Dayun Gate, on dozens of islands of different sizes, high-pitched horn sounds were heard one after another. Smoke rose from cooking fires, and the aroma of rice filled the air. The Dongyun soldiers started cooking, and after a hearty meal, they boarded large and small ships, roaring and shouting at the shouts of their lords.

More than three thousand wooden boats, each carrying thirty to fifty soldiers, headed straight for the South Island.

On the west coastline of the two islands of Dayunmen, there are only three beaches in the south and four or seven in the north that are suitable for landing, with a total length of only two to three hundred miles. These three thousand wooden boats gathered together and headed straight for the most complex section of the south island in the middle, which has many hills and a total length of 40 miles of beach.

In the jungle, dozens of artillery positions roared in unison.

Dense shells fell on the sea, causing water columns to rise into the sky. From time to time, sailboats were overturned by explosions, and the Dongyun soldiers on the boats were either killed on the spot or sank to the bottom of the sea after fainting. Those who were lucky enough to survive swam desperately towards the beach holding on to the wooden planks.

These Dongyun soldiers had no idea what kind of motivation their lord had given them, but they were like crazy, driving their sailboats, taking advantage of the northwest wind, and rushing to the shallow water of the beach at an extremely fast speed.

Large groups of Dongyun soldiers jumped off the wooden boats and waded onto the beach.

The brutal beach landing battle unfolded. In the hills, thousands of firing holes of various sizes in reinforced concrete bunkers spewed out flames at the same time. Accompanied by dense gunfire, large groups of Dongyun soldiers fell to the ground with screams, covered in blood in the sea and on the beach.

In the rear, hundreds of Allied warships roared in unison.

Shells from large-caliber naval guns kept falling, like a giant can opener, hammer after hammer, hitting one bunker after another. However, the Dongyun people had spent a lot of money on the fortifications of Dayunmen. These bunkers were made of extremely solid materials, and were covered with a layer of soil that was more than ten meters or even dozens of meters thick. No matter how hard the naval guns bombarded them, few of the bunkers were destroyed.

More and more Dongyun soldiers rushed onto the beach under the hail of bullets. They crawled on the ground, using the rugged and complex terrain for cover, and like wriggling insects, they kept crawling towards the bunker that was madly spewing flames.

Many Dongyun soldiers carried large and small bags of explosives on their backs. They wanted to rely on manpower to blow up the bunkers that the naval guns were powerless to defend against.

However, in front of these bunkers, extremely deep trenches were dug and densely packed with at least a dozen barbed wires.

These Dongyun soldiers rushed to a place only a dozen feet away from the bunker, but were blocked by the ditch and barbed wire. They were exposed to the guns of the Dongyun soldiers in the bunker. Amid the strange laughter of the Dongyun soldiers, the dense rain of bullets smashed them to pieces. The bullets even detonated the explosive packs, and there were continuous bursts of fire.

The war was extremely brutal.

It was so tragic that in just half an hour, the Tongtian Yuling Banner devoured more than 30,000 ghosts.

Xing Tianli, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wei Zhongxian and others, as long as their cultivation level was high enough and their strength was strong enough to see these ghosts, all raised their heads and watched the dense ghosts roaring and being swallowed by the Tongtian Yuling Banner.

In the end, even Tong Guan, the old monster who once led troops into battle, couldn't help but tremble.

"These weapons are so vicious. In just half an hour, they killed more than 30,000 soldiers. God, when we were in charge of the army, we fought in all directions. With 30,000 elite soldiers, how many days would it take to have such a large number of casualties?"

At the bow of the sailboat, Sophie had quickly built a small altar using ready-made parts.

The main body of the altar is made of pure silver, decorated with a large number of gold parts, and inlaid with large pieces of crystal, as well as hundreds of high-quality rubies, sapphires, diamonds, tourmalines and other items.

Sophie knelt in front of the altar, chanting the spell quickly in a language as beautiful as a bird's chirping.

A faint glow was surging across the entire altar.

With a brilliant smile, Sophie pointed fiercely at the bloody landing battlefield and said, "Supreme Lord, this is what your believers offer to you..."

The next moment, Sophie spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing half of the altar red.

Sophie's eyes twitched. She cursed hysterically and looked in the direction of the small island covered with tents with extreme anger: "Shameless and despicable bitch, she actually held a sacrificial ceremony in advance, and all these dead soldiers were counted on her head?"

Sophie's pretty face turned pale, and she looked at Xing Tianli angrily: "Respected sir, that damned bitch Maso set up the altar first. She has already designated that all the sacrifices in this war will be used to please the Supreme Lord."

"If I cannot destroy her sacrificial rituals, then, humble Suphie, I cannot fulfill your command."

Sophie looked at Xing Tianli pitifully.

Xing Tianli nodded thoughtfully: "Then, how do we disrupt her ceremony? Kill her?"

Sophie's pupils suddenly shrank, and her eyes brightened fiercely. Then, her eyes suddenly dimmed and she sighed: "Is it possible? If, it is possible. But, it is impossible. How is it possible? Well, you don't need to do anything to her. You just need to find her altar, destroy it, and then make it impossible for her to hold the second ceremony for a while."

Sophie smiled charmingly: "It will only take a short while for me to take your place. Lord, the ceremonies for believers are absolutely fair!"

Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Wei Zhongxian stood aside with shining eyes.

Obviously, they were very curious about the so-called ceremony of Sophie, and they were even more curious about the so-called master in Sophie's mouth. However, none of the three old guys said anything. They stood with their hands behind their backs as if nothing had happened, watching quietly, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

Zhu Diao Chong, who was forced to stand on the deck and blow the cold wind with everyone else, sneezed and glanced at Sophie with disdain: "Master Xingtian, this woman has almond eyes, peach cheeks, and a charming look. She is a typical foxy woman. In history, Bao Si and Daji are no more like this. She is a disaster to the country and the people. This is a typical example!"

"You can play with a woman like this for two days, that's fine. When you're done, throw her a handful of change and send her packing. If you keep her around, you're courting death!"

Sophie's face turned black with anger.

'Almond eyes and rosy cheeks', this is a good word, she accepted it.

But "Meishi Shi Yan Xing"? There are also Bao Si, Daji and the like... Although she lives in Black Borneo, as the main target of their tribe's strategy, the Great Yu Dynasty, Sophie has a comprehensive understanding of the customs and historical allusions of the Great Yu Dynasty.

She has read almost all the books available on the market in Dayu Dynasty.

Bao Si and Daji do not have a good reputation!

Sophie looked at Zhu Diaochong sideways. She didn't say anything, but just silently kept a record of him.

Xing Tianli looked at Zhu Diao Chong in surprise. He could not believe that this fat and bloated Prince Zhu Ming, who devoted himself to playing with insects, had such insight? He actually knew that Sophie was not a good person!
"Don't worry, I still have some integrity."

Xing Tianli laughed loudly and waved his sleeves. A cloud of water rose up from the flat ground into the sky. He stepped on the cloud and rushed up to a height of several miles. He blended into the thick clouds in the sky and headed straight for the dozen or so islands.
