Chapter 526: Mohist City Defense Equipment
"Surrender! The Jiuxiao Army has arrived. Why are you still resisting in vain?"
Lu Xiong's voice penetrated the morning mist with irresistible majesty.
He stood on a high place, overlooking the chaotic battlefield.
Faced with the sudden change and Lu Xiong's majestic voice, the defenders lost all morale.
At this moment, Fuliangze became a prey of the Jiuxiao Army.
Lu Xiong used the power of nature at the lowest cost and easily captured Fuliangze.
This was a good start for the Jiuxiao Army's strategy to conquer Wenzhou.
The victory in the Battle of Fuliangze not only boosted the morale of the Longmen Pass army, but also shocked the entire Wenzhou counties.
Luoxia Pass is the throat of Wenzhou in the north. After Long Junzuo occupied Wenzhou, he deployed heavy troops here in an attempt to use it as a barrier to stop the advance of Jiuxiao Army.
At this time, Yin Zhou, the general newly sent to Longmen Pass by King Yun Su Kai, who was sent by Wen Zhong, also led a large army and marched towards Luoxia Pass in a mighty manner.
King Zhou of Shang was wearing armor and standing majestically at the forefront of the army, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, as if he had foreseen the coming victory.
Under his leadership, the army marched in neat steps with high morale, like an unstoppable torrent, surging towards Luoxia Pass.
Luoxia Pass, this majestic pass standing in the north of Wenzhou, was now on high alert under the command of Long Junzuo's King of Birds Army.
Every soldier was on edge, preparing for the upcoming fierce battle.
What is even more terrifying is that Luoxia Pass is also equipped with various city defense equipment of the Mohist School, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought. These equipment are carefully designed and manufactured by the disciples of the Mohist School according to the terrain and strategic location of Luoxia Pass. They are powerful enough to scare any enemy attacking the city.
When the Jiuxiao Army arrived at Luoxia Pass, the two armies confronted each other and the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.
King Zhou of Shang looked up at the towering city walls, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
The key to this battle is to break through this solid pass, and the various Mohist weapons on Luoxia Pass are the biggest obstacles for him and the Jiuxiao Army.
"Brothers, follow me!"
King Zhou's voice pierced through the noise of the battlefield and resounded through the sky like thunder.
He took the lead in carrying a large shield, snatched the iron spear from a soldier next to him, and blocked it in front of him. Facing the rain of arrows and boulders, he moved forward step by step towards the towering Luoxia Pass city wall.
The tall figure looked even more powerful in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a fearless god of war.
However, just as King Zhou of Shang was about to approach the city wall, a strange sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out.
On the city wall, rows of Mohist specially made crossbows were aimed at King Zhou of Shang. The crossbow arrows were wrapped with special Mohist talismans and were shot out suddenly with a whistling sound that tore through the air.
These crossbows are extraordinary and are specially designed to destroy the enemy's Qi. Once hit head-on, even a powerful Qi god will find it difficult to resist.
When King Zhou of Shang saw this, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
As a general of the Jiuxiao Army, he was well aware of the power of these crossbows, but he did not retreat.
On the contrary, he shouted loudly, and instead of retreating, he advanced. The internal energy in his body surged and instantly condensed into a huge black and red energy image, like a god of war descending to the world.
This powerful Dharma image also held a spear in his hand, emitting dazzling light all over his body, and stood in front of King Zhou of Shang.
"God of War? Aim your Pogang Crossbow at him!"
On the city wall, the general of King Que’s army shouted orders.
Suddenly, several crossbow arrows from the Pogang crossbows poured down like a rainstorm, with the power to tear everything apart, shooting towards the Gangqi Dharma image of King Zhou of Shang.
However, Yin Zhou's Qi Dharma Image showed amazing defensive power. When those crossbow arrows that could break the Qi Dharma Image touched the Qi Dharma Image, they were directly swept away by the long spear in the hand of the black and red Dharma Image behind Yin Zhou, and they exploded one after another, turning into bits of debris that splashed in the air.
"Humph! Do you think a few Mohist weapons can stop the progress of my Jiuxiao Army?"
Yin Zhou snorted coldly, and the internal energy surged again.
Maintaining the black and red energy behind him, he rushed towards the city wall with an iron spear in hand.
Wherever the spear passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making bursts of explosive sounds.
Seeing this, King Que's army on the city wall threw down huge stones, rolling logs and other city defense equipment in an attempt to stop King Zhou of Shang's attack.
However, King Zhou of Shang's powerful Qi image was like an invincible god of war. As he swung his spear, boulders and rolling logs were smashed to pieces.
Both sides paid a heavy price in this brutal battle.
However, King Zhou of Shang led the charge himself, using his spear and large shield to open up a path to victory for his soldiers.
The figure in black armor was like a flash of lightning on the battlefield, constantly shuttling between the enemy and us, dealing fatal blows to the enemy.
As time went by, the soldiers of the Jiuxiao Army gradually adapted to the Mohist equipment at Luoxia Pass.
They followed the example of King Zhou of Shang and used the iron shields in their hands to form various formations to resist the attacks from the city walls.
At the same time, they used equipment such as ladders and battering rams to continuously charge at the city walls.
However, despite King Zhou's bravery, the endless stream of Mohist weapons at Luoxia Pass caused him great trouble.
Among them, a device called "Molong Winch" is particularly tricky.
This device was carefully designed by Mohist disciples. It can launch iron chains wrapped with Mohist talismans. Once it hits the enemy, it will tightly wrap it up and make it unable to move.
When the Molong winch started, black iron chains shot out from the city wall with a whistling sound and headed straight for King Zhou of Shang.
Upon seeing this, King Zhou of Yin frowned, controlled his Qi and waved his spear to meet the chains.
The spear and the chain collided in the air, making a series of metallic sounds.
As the god of war, King Zhou of Shang’s Qi and Faxiang were extremely powerful, but those chains were extremely tough, as if they had infinite power.
For a time, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
"Break it for me!"
Yin Zhou shouted loudly, and the internal energy in his body surged again. He controlled the energy form, increased his strength, and swung his spear violently, finally breaking the chains one by one.
However, at this moment, a strange sound of breaking wind was heard from the city wall again.
King Zhou of Shang looked up and saw a device called "Mo Yu Flying Arrow" being activated.
This flying arrow was carefully crafted by disciples of the Mohist School. Once shot, it would circle in the air like a bird, looking for the enemy's weaknesses.
Faced with this tricky weapon, Yin Zhou did not panic. Instead, he controlled the Gang Qi Dharma Image, wielded the spear, drew beautiful arcs in the air, and shot down those black feather arrows one by one.
However, at this moment, another roar was heard from the city wall.
A device called "Mo Lei Sky Cannon" was activated again. This sky cannon can fire shells containing Mohist special gunpowder. Once it hits the enemy, it will explode immediately, bursting out with astonishing power.
