On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

When Lin Zhen led the remaining troops out of the valley, the scene before them was even more depressing.

In the open area outside the valley, a strict Nan Chu army formation has been formed!

There were thousands of people, swords and spears like a forest, flags fluttering. On the high platform of the central army, Gu Beichen, wearing a purple robe and a mask, stood with his hands behind his back. His cold gaze penetrated the smoke and dust and fell on the embarrassed Lin Zhen.

In front of the army, dozens of huge counterweight catapults have been loaded, and the burning kerosene tanks crackle in the cold wind!

Further away, there are several heavy crossbows with more complex structures, equipped with metal rails and winches!

The crossbow arrow is as thick as a child's arm, and the arrow head is flashing with a faint blue light!

"Lin Zhen," Gu Beichen's cold voice came through the copper megaphone, clear and piercing. "How is the scenery of Yinshan? Are you satisfied with this 'elaborate burial'?"

Lin Zhen wiped the dust off his face. His armor was damaged, but he still stood straight with a gleam of lightning in his eyes. "Gu Beichen! You're such a coward! You only know how to use despicable tricks!"

"Despicable?" Gu Beichen's voice was filled with sarcasm. "The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit! How can we allow others to get their hands on the secret of the Burning Sky Thunder? Today, this Broken Soul Valley is the burial place of you, Master Lin!"

He slowly raised his hand!

"Trebuckle! Fire!"

"Crack—bang!" The huge counterweight fell! The burning kerosene tank streaked across the sky like a meteor!

Smash it hard at the valley entrance!

"Bed crossbow! Shoot!"

"Bang-bang-bang!" The bowstring sounded like thunder, and the thick poisonous crossbow tore through the air and shot directly at Lin Zhen's central army.

"Shield formation!" Mao Mengji roared!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Kerosene tanks fell, flames soared into the sky, poison crossbows pierced through the tower shields, and the soldiers fell down with screams!

"Shenjiying! Suppress!" Chengxuan shouted.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The muskets fired in unison, suppressing the archers of Nanchu.

"Cavalry! Outflank from both wings! Destroy the catapults!" Lin Zhen pointed his golden sword forward.

“Kill!” The heavy cavalry of the Jinwu Guards roared and charged forward, their iron hooves crushing the ice and snow.

"Hmph, a trapped beast still fights!" Gu Beichen sneered, "Change the formation, spears, barricades, and crossbows."

The Nanchu army's formation changed rapidly, with densely packed spears and chevaux de frise erected in the front row, and archers in the back row rained arrows down!

"Puff puff puff--" The charging cavalry was like hitting steel thorns, and the men and horses fell to the ground in an extremely tragic manner.

"Lin Zhen, you can't escape today!" Gu Beichen said in an icy voice, "This place... is the final sound of Beiyan's thunder!"

Lin Zhen looked at the soldiers fighting bloody battles, the explosions and collapses that continued in the valley, and Gu Beichen's cold bronze mask. The cold light in his eyes condensed like substance.

He suddenly pulled out the parchment sketch from his arms... and the fragments of the formula that Mao Mengji brought back!

"Ling'er!" Lin Zhen's voice was as deep as iron.

"Husband!" Chu Xiling's cold face was covered with soot, but her eyes were unusually bright.

"This diagram...this formula...is it possible to reverse engineer it?"

Chu Xiling's eyes swept over the key marks on the sketch and the fragments of the formula, and countless symbols, proportions, and processes were rapidly combined and deduced in her mind...

"Blackwater Death Marsh... Eternal Inferno... High sulfur... High nitrate... Pickling... Cyanide... Oily... Explodes on impact..." She looked up suddenly, a flicker of determination in her eyes. "Husband, the core of the explosive material Gu Beichen is using must be this 'oily substance.' This substance is afraid of fire and collisions. It must be transported and stored in special containers, away from fire sources. Its main force must be in the rear!"

She pointed to a mark on the sketch. "'Eternal Hellfire'. If my conjecture is correct, this is the central storage or transportation center for its raw materials. Destroying this will sever its foundation!"

Lin Zhen's eyes flashed with brilliance! In the midst of despair, there was a glimmer of hope!

"Mao Mengji!"

"The general is here!"

"I'll give you one hundred death warriors! Wear Nanchu armor and clothing, and sneak into the enemy camp during the chaos. Target - 'Eternal Hellfire'. Find its baggage, and use kerosene and explosives to burn and blow it all up!"

"I obey your command!" Mao Mengji's eyes were filled with ferocity and he licked his cracked lips like a hungry wolf that smelled blood.

"Cheng Xuan!"

"exist!"

"Order the entire army to defend the valley entrance and buy time for General Mao!"

"Yes!"

"Ling'er!"

"exist!"

"Analyze the formula immediately and find the weakness of this 'oil' or a way to imitate it!"

"Yes!"

Lin Zhen's black armor was stained with blood, and he pointed his golden sword to the sky. His voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the battlefield:

"Soldiers! Gu Beichen wants to kill us here, but God will not let us go. This is our chance to defeat the enemy. Defend the valley entrance until General Mao succeeds. Then follow me to break through the encirclement and kill the traitor!"

"Kill--!!" The earth-shaking roar resounded through the sky, and the soldiers in desperate situation burst out with their last bloody courage.

......

Heifengao, deep in the branches of Yinshan Mountain.

It is surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, with only a narrow valley entrance and exit, and the terrain is dangerous.

The valley was brightly lit and bustling with people, like a huge open-air workshop.

On the outskirts is the heavily guarded Nan Chu military camp, with patrols constantly moving back and forth.

In the valley's core, dozens of massive warehouses housed mountains of coal, sulfur, and saltpeter. Deeper still, rows of brick kilns burned day and night, billowing thick smoke as they processed the raw materials.

The core of the core is ten heavily guarded "bunkers" built of huge stones!

The heavy iron door at the entrance of the bunker was tightly closed, with only a narrow air vent. Inside were stored purified semi-finished products and...cans of "oil-like substances" - Burning Sky Thunder Cores!

Mao Mengji and his men clung to the icy rock face like geckos, bypassing the outer checkpoints under the cover of wind, snow, and darkness, sneaking into the cliff above the valley entrance. The cold wind was like a knife, freezing their hands and feet numb.

The whole valley below is in full view.

"General, the guards are too strict. If you force your way in, you will die." A fierce soldier whispered.

"Burning in? Stupid!" Mao Mengji's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He pointed his bony finger at the crisscrossing water diversion channels and the piles of coal and wood at the bottom of the valley. "See those bamboo pipes for diversion? And those coal piles are all excellent fire starters!"

He lowered his voice and quickly deployed: "Team One, get to the upwind side, light the coal pile, and create chaos. Team Two, sneak into the canal, destroy the gates, and divert the water to destroy the workshop. Team Three, follow me and take the bunker directly. Use explosives to send those cans flying!"

"Yes!" A crazy fire burned in the assassin's eyes.

The action began. Like civet cats, a team of death warriors crept upwind to the coal pile. They used a fire starter to ignite a kerosene-soaked cloth and toss it into the cracks in the coal pile. The cold wind fanned the flames, sending black smoke billowing and the flames rapidly soaring!

"The fire is——!"

"Put out the fire!"

The valley was in chaos in an instant. The soldiers of Nanchu shouted to put out the fire and the crowd rushed to the coal pile.

"Boom!" The second team of death warriors blew up the stone gate upstream of the canal at the same time!

The accumulated snow water rushed like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, breaking through the canal bank and roaring into the workshop at the bottom of the valley!

The water flow carried coal slag, wood, and tools, destroyed the brick kiln, and flooded the warehouse!

Screams, exclamations, and the roar of water are intertwined!

"Enemy attack--!" The guard finally reacted and the whistle was shrill!

"Kill!" A murderous gleam flashed in Mao Mengji's eyes! His skinny figure, like a ghost, led three teams of assassins down the cliff! Target - the bunker!

"Stop them!" the Nanchu garrison commander roared! The crossbowmen turned around!

"Puff, puff, puff—" A rain of arrows came! Several assassins fell to the ground with arrows!

"Charge!" Mao Mengji roared, wielding his long sword to block the arrows. His figure flashed strangely, and he rushed straight to the nearest bunker iron door! The assassins behind him ignited the explosive packs and rushed towards the iron door fearlessly!

"Boom!!" A loud bang! The iron gate twisted and deformed! Smoke filled the air!

"Come again!" Mao Mengji roared!

"Boom!!" The second pack of explosives! The iron door burst open!

The scene inside the bunker made Mao Mengji's pupils shrink! Densely packed, neatly stacked special pottery jars!

The tank is dark, covered with wet mud, and the inner lining is faintly visible with the sheen of mercury. It is the core of the Burning Sky Thunder that stores the "oily substance"!

"Throw the kerosene!" Mao Mengji shouted!

The assassins set a ball of cloth soaked in kerosene on fire and threw it into the bunker.

"Boom!" Flames instantly shot up! The high temperature ignited the tank.

"No——" The Nanchu defender who came rushing over had bloodshot eyes.

"Boom boom boom boom——"

The chain of explosions was like a volcanic eruption. The bunker was reduced to dust in the terrifying blast. The scorching flames mixed with deadly shock waves and debris swept across the surroundings. The neighboring bunkers were affected. The chain explosions turned the entire core area of ​​Heifengao into a sea of ​​fire. The thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the flames illuminated half of the sky red, as if the end of the world had come!

"Retreat!" Mao Mengji's skinny face was covered in blood and ashes, but his eyes flashed with cruel pleasure.

He had no desire to fight, and led the remaining soldiers to escape into the wind and snow during the chaos, disappearing without a trace.

......

The flames and thick smoke rising from Heifengao are like a lighthouse in the dark night. Even from dozens of miles away, the entrance to the Valley of Broken Souls can be clearly seen.

"It's done!" Lin Zhen's eyes flashed with brilliance, his fatigue and pain were swept away, and he raised the Panlong Golden Sword high.

"Soldiers! General Mao has accomplished his mission, and the Burning Thunder Division has been destroyed. Follow me to break through the encirclement and kill the traitors!"

"Kill--!!" The remaining Jinwu Guards in desperate situation burst into an earth-shaking roar!

Like a sleeping lion awakening!

"All the ammunition of the Shenji Battalion is covering fire and suppressing the bows and crossbows."

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang--" The remaining musketeers poured out the last of their ammunition!

"Jinwu Guards, follow me in charging in the sharp arrow formation!" Lin Zhen took the lead!

The black horse neighed loudly and rushed towards the enemy camp like an arrow!

"Kill!" The remaining Jinwu Guards' heavy cavalry followed closely behind, their iron hooves crushing the ice and snow, their long spears like a forest, and with a determination to die, they fiercely charged into the Nanchu army formation.
