Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Uncle Master, do you think we can hold on to rescue other islands?" Zhang Xuanyuan asked with a worried look on his face, looking in the direction of the Mubei coalition forces.

Tangning sighed slightly: "Who knows! Anyway, remember, just try to preserve yourself in times of crisis. Whether you can hold on or not is not your key."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light shot out from his left side, revealing the figure of Yan Min.

"Senior Yan." Tang Ning bowed.

Yang Yunzhi and the other three also saluted quickly.

Yan Min glanced at several people: "How is the situation here?"

"The magnetic element cannon is intact, and there are still twenty-seven rounds left."

"If the Mubei demon attacks, you must receive clear instructions before you can retreat. You must not escape privately. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I know."

"When you evacuate, try to destroy the magnetic cannon. Don't leave it to them."

"clear."

Yan Min didn't say anything more, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared from the light and went to the next place.

"Uncle Tang, what does the clear instruction that this senior mentioned just now refer to?" Zheng Chao asked.

Tang Ning said, "You can retreat when you see the purple fireworks rising."

Henry Zhang asked: “Where should we retreat to next?”

"When the time comes, follow the team and you will naturally know."

"If I had followed Uncle Yin and the others, there wouldn't have been so many things. I wonder where those brothers have gone now?" Zheng Chaoshan suddenly sighed leisurely.

Tang Ning comforted, "Don't think so much. Life or death is determined by God. We just need to do the things in front of us."

Several people stopped talking. Except for the passing lights, the sky above the city was completely silent, like the calm before the storm. The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.

About two or three hours later, the Mubei demons made movement again, and a huge army of black people rushed towards them. This time they changed their tactics. They no longer used the monster army as the main force, and the Mubei coalition forces on both sides were supplemented. Way.

Instead, they launched a full-scale, multi-pronged attack. The army of monsters and Mubei warships and chariots interspersed and moved forward. They were lined up in a line, distributed thousands of miles to the left and right, and came towards the city in a mighty manner.

Monster beasts and warships and chariots walked side by side, and between every two teams of monster beasts, there was a team of allied warships and chariots.

As Mubei's army approached closer and closer, three columns outside the city walls also faced Mubei's army.

Because the monster team is mixed with Mubei's warships and chariots, they must be blocked out, otherwise as soon as they approach, the warships' cannonballs can directly attack the city walls.

This is the contingency plan that the Mubei coalition adjusted after the first attack was blocked. It no longer uses the monster army as its main force. This can greatly limit the use of the giant cannon on the city wall.

With warships and chariots as escorts, when the cannons can attack the monsters, Mubei's warships and chariots can also attack the monks on the city wall.

There was a loud bang, and the battle between the two sides began. Cannonballs were fired from the warships. Under the cover of the Mubei coalition warships, many monsters rushed forward and rushed towards the Xuanmen team.

The remnant power of the exploding cannonball in mid-air flooded many spaces, and the ripples in the space surged like a wave.

Many monsters were killed by the impact of the exploding shells from both sides before they even moved.

The monsters and warships and chariots marched in the same row. Although they were able to contain the giant cannons on the city walls and force the main force of Xuanmen to fight decisively outside the city, they also caused great damage to themselves.

The attack method of Gein monsters is mainly physical. Even if they use magical powers, their effective range cannot reach as far as a cannonball.

This is the biggest advantage of spiritual weapons. The effective range of attacks far exceeds the area covered by monks' magical powers.

Taking Nascent Soul monks as an example, the area covered by their magical powers is only a few dozen miles at most.

The effective attack range of a fourth-order magnetic element cannon reaches two hundred miles, and its explosive power may not be as great as the magical power displayed by the monks.

However, its ultra-long attack range can preemptively attack him before he moves.

In terms of pure combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of a magnetic element cannon is definitely far inferior to that of a Nascent Soul monk. With the ability of a Nascent Soul monk, it is easy to avoid the attack of artillery shells and destroy the magnetic element cannon at close range. It is simply a piece of cake.

Not to mention a mere magnetic cannon, even a fourth-level warship or chariot may not be able to defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But this is a case of fighting alone. In such a large-scale war, thousands of warships fire cannonballs, the cannonballs are overwhelming, and the explosion area can cover thousands of miles. A Yuanying-level monk has no ability to escape the attack range of the cannonballs. .

Demonic beasts are also ordinary. If a fourth-level demonic beast fights against a fourth-level warship alone, relying on its flexibility and toughness, the outcome of the fight is unknown.

However, under the artillery attack of the three columns, there was no way to fight back. This was a qualitative change caused by a quantitative change.

The high-level warships on both sides attacked each other more than a thousand miles apart, and the power of the exploding shells crushed many monsters into pulp.

The monster commanders of each team took action one after another, using their magical powers to protect an area and allow the monster army to pass smoothly.

The overwhelming cannonballs exploded, and many monster commanders were swallowed up by the torn space.

After suffering a large number of casualties, the monster brigade finally reached the warship as time passed and started a fierce battle with the escorting monks.

Tang Ning and others stood on the city wall, watching the Xuanmen and Mubei coalition forces fight, feeling extremely nervous.

The magnetic element cannon's attack range is only two hundred miles, and the Xuanmen Brigade has gone out of the city for more than a thousand miles to fight the Mubei coalition forces, so the city's cannon cannot provide effective support at all.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce.

Blood rained like pillars, broken limbs were everywhere, and the ground was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The monster's body bulges high and covers thousands of miles.

Warships and chariots fell from time to time and fell apart.

Gradually, the three Xuanmen teams showed signs of decline. Under the attacks of the Mubei coalition, more and more warships were damaged.

After all, Xuanmen only has three columns, while the Mubei Alliance Army is an entire legion. The two sides are not of the same level in terms of military strength and combat effectiveness.

What's more, the Mubei Allied Forces moved with all their strength this time, and Xuanmen lacked the support of the city's cannons. Even if we simply compared the size of the warships and chariots of the two sides, the Mubei Allied Forces still had the upper hand.

After suffering heavy casualties, the monster army finally attacked the side of the warship and started fighting with the monks. The warships and chariots also approached the city walls.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth columns outside the city walls had no choice but to retreat while fighting, so as not to be cut off by the Mubei Allied Forces and completely surrounded.

Under the fierce attack of the Mubei coalition forces, Xuanmen was in a state of defeat, and a large number of warships and chariots fled towards the city walls.

On the city wall, Tang Ning watched her own warships and chariots fleeing. She was waiting for the fireworks signal to fire cannonballs. Suddenly, a loud bang came from the right side.

A cannonball exploded around the city wall, and the space ripples surged like a wave. The thousand-foot-high city wall collapsed around it.

However, it was the warships and chariots of the Mubei coalition that took the lead, taking advantage of the distance advantage of the high-level cannons to fire shells from a distance before they entered the range of the magnetic cannon.

Dozens of artillery shells shot out from high in the sky and landed in all directions around the city.

Huge airflow clouds rose over the city walls, where the cannonballs exploded, the city walls collapsed, the cannons on display were torn apart, and the monks died in the blink of an eye under the impact of space ripples.

"Uncle Master, this..." Zhang Xuan's face turned pale with horror when he saw this scene.

Cannonballs continued to fire in mid-air, and large sections of the city wall collapsed, leaving a mess.

When Tang Ning saw this scene, she was also horrified. If a cannonball fell next to her and others, the consequences could be imagined based on the cultivation of these people.

Just as he was hesitating whether to evacuate, blue fireworks bloomed high in the sky.

It turned out that Mubei's leading troops had chased the Xuanmen warship hundreds of miles outside the city walls, roughly within the range of the magnetic cannon.

"Fire the cannonball." Tangning gave the order, and Zheng Chao shot on the groove of the spiritual weapon.

The whole cannon burst into black light and made a loud bang. The whole cannon trembled, and a black cannonball shot out from the muzzle.

At the same time, other cannons on the city wall also fired shells one after another. Thousands of shells shot out and exploded at once. The torn space in the blink of an eye drowned Mubei's chasing team.

The cannonballs in the city are constantly firing, and the power of the exploding cannonballs will flood a space that is dozens of miles long and more than a thousand miles wide.

There were torn black holes everywhere in that area, and the pursuing Mubei Allied Forces were hit by artillery shells and blocked.

Outside the city walls, Xuanmen's many warships were finally able to escape the pursuit of the Mubei coalition forces and fled into the city due to the cover of giant cannons.

The Mubei Allied Forces came overwhelmingly, and many monsters were the first to bear the brunt. They rushed towards the city wall one after another. Behind them, the Mubei Allied Forces' warships and chariots fired volleys of shells, hitting the city wall like rain.

Loud rumbling noises continued to be heard, and the city walls collapsed in sections under the bombardment of artillery shells. As the distance between the two sides got closer, more and more artillery shells continued to hit.

"Uncle Tang, let's leave quickly! We can't defend this place anymore." Zheng Chaoshan shouted loudly after firing a cannonball.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball exploded dozens of miles away to the left. Several monks stationed there were instantly submerged by the airflow cloud, and the huge cannon also exploded.

The space ripples spread around, the city wall collapsed, and the space ripples gradually spread to several people.

"Let's go." Seeing that a large part of the city wall collapsed, Mubei Allied Forces rushed in, and more and more artillery shells fell, Tangning no longer cared about any orders. If she stayed any longer, she would be dead.

He dodged and flew towards the rear. Yang Yunzhi and three others followed closely behind him, each pulling out their spiritual weapons to protect themselves.

Seeing the ripples in the space rushing in layer by layer, catching up with several people, suddenly, a white light flashed, and the girl in white came out from inside. Eighty-one flying swords condensed into a sword circle, protecting several people inside.

The moment the spatial ripples touched the sword circle, they immediately froze.

Yang Yunzhi, Zheng Chao, and Zhang Xuan's faces were already ashen, but suddenly they saw a flash of white light in front of their eyes, and an independent girl in white with a jade hairpin on her side appeared in front of them, and then a white light burst out around them, making people unable to open their eyes.

After the white light dissipated, eighty-one flying swords guarded and stood in front of several people, blocking the incoming spatial ripples.

The three of them survived the disaster and looked at each other with shock and joy. Yang Yunzhi looked at the girl and said, "Thank you, senior, for the rescue."

The girl didn't even look at them, and the sword circle protected several people as they fled forward.

Tang Ning turned around and looked around, only to see that less than half of the tens of thousands of miles of city wall had collapsed under the attack of Mubei's artillery shells, and there were monks escaping everywhere.

Seeing many warships and chariots rising from behind, including the "Ming Yue" Feng Yue Ship, he turned around and headed towards the Feng Ling Ship.

Yang Yunzhi and three others naturally followed him closely.

Since he was flying in front and the warship was behind, both were heading towards the city, so they soon ran into the incoming wind spirit ship head-on.

These warships and chariots deliberately slowed down, presumably to meet the fleeing monks.

Tangning's light flashed and she landed on the deck of the Wind Spirit Ship.

Yang Yunzhi, Zheng Chaoshan, and Zhang Xuan also came to the ship one after another.

At this time, many fleeing monks came from all directions and landed on various warships.

The fleeing monks from all over the third column gathered on the warships and chariots one after another, including the low-level monks who originally defended the city, and followed the large fleeing team to each warship.

On the "Ming Yue" Fengling ship, there were scattered hundreds of people gathered, most of them were monks directly under the original alliance, a few were from other teams, and some were low-level monks guarding the city.

People were standing in all directions on the deck of the warship. Tang Ning stood at the stern of the ship, watching the Mubei coalition troops pouring in from behind, crossing the dilapidated city walls, chasing the Xuanmen people, and felt extremely sad in her heart.

Xuanmen's fourth, fifth, and sixth columns had already fled forward, leaving only the third column behind, relying on the city's cannon to cover their evacuation.

Therefore, the third column was at the rear of the entire team, only a few hundred miles away from the vanguard of Mubei's army.

There are nearly a hundred other large and small warships and chariots surrounding the "Ming Yue" Fengling Ship. This is only the strength of the seventh regiment.

More than a thousand miles away on the right is the Sixth Regiment, and on the left is the Fifth Regiment.

The entire third column was guarded thousands of miles across the city, so when they fled, each team had no time to assemble and could only take care of themselves.

After the Mubei Allied Forces broke through the city wall, they changed their formation once again. Their warships and chariots surrounded them from both sides, while the monster army pursued them in the middle.

Due to the excessive separation of the Xuanmen third column, the Mubei Allied Forces were also divided into ten teams to pursue. The purpose was naturally to annihilate all the fleeing Xuanmen teams.

As time went by, the Mubei army gradually caught up with the third column. The left and right teams took the lead in fighting the Mubei coalition forces. Artillery shells from both sides flew together, and Xuanmen only had one regiment.

The Mubei Alliance Army was composed of two columns, and their strength was not at the same level at all. The teams on the left and right of Xuanmen were quickly wiped out.

The warships and chariots of the Mubei coalition forces on both sides tightened their circle and enveloped the entire column.

The army of monsters also caught up with each regiment, and the two sides soon fought together.

The team chasing the seventh regiment is mainly composed of three types of monsters: Iron-backed Cang Bear, Thunder Cloud Leopard, and Green Wind Monkey. Their strength is about six or seven regiments.

One after another came towards the crowd, the distance between the two parties became closer and closer, warships and chariots fired cannonballs, and hundreds of cannonballs shot out at once, hitting the team of monsters.

Many cannonballs exploded, flooding a space of dozens of miles around.

In the central area of ​​the explosion, more than ten spaces were torn apart, and layers of space ripples rippled out, rushing toward the monster.

In the team of monsters, dozens of figures flashed out, each using their magical powers, covering an area. The army of monsters rushed forward and backward, passing through the explosion area and attacking everyone.
