Chapter 448 Farewell
Master Wen had always known that the special product of the East China Sea was the golden-eyed eagle, but he did not expect that there would be so many of them, and that they had already raised an established air force.
Everyone was familiar with the air force. After all, all the famous generals’ mounts could fly. But only famous generals have such mounts, and they usually fight in front of the battle from the ground to the sky.
But such an organic air force has never been seen before. It is so rare.
And because the air force has never seen it before, these Chaoge elites have never experienced stones the size of millstones falling from the sky. Master Wen quickly flew into the air on Mo Qilin, and the male and female whips flew out, shooting down the sky knights one by one.
Although Grand Master Wen was extremely brave and had no generals under his command, so what?
Hundreds of golden-eyed eagles passed by every minute and every second, and one or two were knocked down without any damage at all. Large millstone stones continued to fall, leaving Chaoge warriors below with a mess of casualties.
It would be okay if they were killed directly, but the worst fear is that half of the body would be crushed under the stone, and they would be unable to die for a while and could only cry out. This would further weaken the morale of the soldiers.
Panic is contagious, and no matter how hard Master Wen tries, these golden-eyed eagles still drop stones and run away again and again. Not being able to finish the killing and being unable to catch up made Master Wen feel helpless.
However, there is no way to retreat at this time, because even if you ride a horse, you cannot compete with the golden-eyed eagle. No matter how far you run, you will still be caught up and smashed to death.
Just when Master Wen was a little impulsive and wanted to break into the wind and rain formation directly, he saw dozens of orange-yellow rays of light shooting into the sky, sweeping across and beating a large group of golden-eyed eagles until their feathers flew everywhere and blood flowed. DC, whimpering, fell from the sky.
Master Wen took a look and saw that these rays of light were clearly burning iron beads, as well as other non-luminous iron beads, shooting into the sky at extremely fast speeds. Even a golden-eyed eagle would be killed on the spot.
Looking down, it turned out that Tang Lin's troops were driving the tortoise-like locomotives to help in the battle. I didn't expect that they also had such a weapon that could attack high altitudes.
Not only that, when they were attacked just now, only these thousand people retreated into the vehicles in an orderly manner. It seemed that they had been prepared for this unprecedented offensive, and there was no panic at all.
Grand Master Wen originally thought that they were very powerful for being able to escape from the wind and rain array, but he did not expect that he still underestimated the strength of these thousands of elites.
Master Wen didn't know that the Air Force would be the most threatening branch of the military in the future. Any soldier who wanted to go to the front line would know how to deal with air attacks, dig trenches, find bunkers and other tactical actions that were completely instinctive.
And what was thrown down was just a rock, not a white phosphorus incendiary bomb or a poisonous gas bomb. It didn't even cause skin damage due to the explosion. So what's there to panic about?
The thousand-man team under Tang Lin quickly entered the Baxia armored vehicle, then deployed anti-aircraft guns and began to counterattack.
Harassed by anti-aircraft guns from Baxia's armored vehicles, the casualties of the Golden-eyed Eagles increased greatly. Soon several whistles were heard, and the air attack was finally terminated. All the Golden-eyed Eagles flew back into the wind and rain formation.
Master Wen quickly returned to the camp to comfort his subordinates, count the casualties, and treat the wounded. This air raid did not last long, and there was not even enough time for a cup of tea.
At last count, the air raid in just this short period of time resulted in hundreds of deaths and close to a thousand injuries. Most of the dead were crushed to death, but the injured were injured by trampling on each other in panic.
Moreover, after this air raid, the military camp was depressed and morale dropped to freezing point. Grand Master Wen could also understand that this kind of offensive where he could only be beaten without being able to fight back was too frustrating and his will was easily broken.
This is because the 30,000 people are all elites brought by Chao Ge, and they would have been defeated long ago if they were replaced by ordinary troops.
Wen Taishi also understood that the morale of the army was not available at this time, and immediately ordered a retreat of thirty miles and retreated to a mountain col to set up camp again. Half of this place is obscured by cliffs. Although it is difficult to get water, if there is another air raid, just hide in the shadows and rocks will not hit your head.
After settling down again, Grand Master Wen began to worry again, why are the seventy-two princes in Beihai so troublesome? It seems that it will not be easy to pacify them in a short time.
That's right, Grand Master Wen still feels that it's not a big problem for him to win.
This is the self-confidence of Master Wen. Even if all 30,000 people under his command are dead, he is confident that he can break into the formation alone and explode the wind and rain formation, and then slowly defeat the seventy-two princes one by one. die.
But that would be too slow. I don’t know how many years it will take.
Wen Taishi thought of Li Du again at this time. Why did this prince of the North Sea want to die? After Li Du was captured, the Beihai side immediately sent a golden-eyed eagle to attack. Is there any connection?
Thinking of this, upon hearing that the Grand Master immediately interrogated Li Jie.
This time it was not so easy to talk. Before, I was concerned about the status of the other prince and wanted to give him decent treatment. Now that the military situation was urgent, I heard that Grand Master ordered him to be tortured.
Who would have thought that Li Jie had fused with more than one demon soul, and his skin became invulnerable. Not only that, even roasting it on the fire is useless. This copper-skinned iron frame has no weak points except for its eyes. Grandmaster Wen's male and female whips could shatter his Tianling Gai, but that would not be an interrogation, but an execution.
Male and female whips are not used to torture people. Master Wen didn't have any means to torture this person for a while, so it was even more impossible to extract a confession.
It's a pity that Master Wen was born too early. In this era where the biggest torture is burning copper pillars and poisonous tongues, there are so many different kinds of punishments in later generations. Otherwise, just a water torture can make Li Jie's life worse than death.
This road was unworkable, so Grand Master Wen had no choice but to lock Li Du up again, and then prepared to go to Tang Lin to discuss countermeasures. Since his thousands of elite troops can easily cope with the various methods of the Beihai princes, they should now have the means to break the formation.
However, before Master Wen found Tang Lin, Tang Lin had already left the seclusion to say farewell to Master Wen: "Master, there is a change in the song of the court. I am observing the sky at night, and there are evil stars attacking Ziwei. Your Majesty should be in danger. I'll go back to Chaoge for a few days and then I'll come back."
Ziwei is the Emperor Star, which represents the fate of the emperor. If Ziwei has an edge, it means King Zhou is in trouble.
Upon hearing that Tang Lin said that King Zhou was in danger, the Grand Master also had a solemn expression on his face and agreed to Tang Lin's request without asking in detail. Anyway, it is easy for an immortal to travel thousands of miles in a day. Now that the morale of the army is not stable, it has to be repaired for a few days. It would be a good thing if this uncle returns to protect His Majesty.
But after Tang Lin left, Master Wen thought about it carefully and asked strangely: "There is an evil star attacking Ziwei? Why can't I see it?"
Tang Lin was actually not a liar. An important person who could harm the Shang Dynasty came to Chaoge, and that was Su Daji, the daughter of Jizhou Hou Suhu.
