Chapter 522 Mo Family's City Defense Equipment
"Surrender! The Nine Heavens Army has arrived. Why should you continue your futile resistance?"
Lu Xiong's voice pierced through the morning mist, carrying an irresistible authority.
He stood on high ground, overlooking the chaotic battlefield.
Faced with the sudden turn of events and Lu Xiong's authoritative voice, the morale of the defending troops plummeted.
At this moment, Fuliangze became the prize of the Nine Heavens Army.
Lu Xiong easily captured Fuliangze with minimal cost and by utilizing the power of nature.
This set a good precedent for the Nine Heavens Army's campaign in Wenzhou.
The victory at the Battle of Fuliangze not only boosted the morale of the army at Longmen Pass, but also shook the entire Wenzhou prefecture.
...
Luoxia Pass is a strategic location in the north of Wenzhou. After Long Junzuo occupied Wenzhou, he deployed a large number of troops here, attempting to use it as a barrier to block the advance of the Jiuxiao Army.
At this time, Yun Wang Su Kai, whom Wen Zhong had dispatched, sent General Yin Zhou, who was also leading a large army, to advance towards Luoxia Pass.
Clad in armor, King Zhou of Yin stood majestically at the forefront of his army, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination, as if he had already foreseen the impending victory.
Under his leadership, the army marched in unison, their morale soaring, like an unstoppable torrent surging towards Luoxia Pass.
Luoxia Pass, this majestic pass standing to the north of Wenzhou, is now under the watchful eyes of Long Junzuo's Sparrow King Army.
Every soldier was on edge, ready for the fierce battle that was about to begin.
Even more terrifying is that Luoxia Pass is also equipped with various defensive siege weapons of the Mohist school, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought. These weapons were meticulously designed and manufactured by Mohist disciples based on the terrain and strategic location of Luoxia Pass. They are extremely powerful and enough to make any enemy attacking the city tremble with fear.
When the Nine Heavens Army arrived at Luoxia Pass, the two armies faced each other, and the atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating.
King Zhou of Yin looked up at the towering city walls, a fierce glint in his eyes.
The key to this battle lies in breaking through this fortified pass, and the various Mohist weapons on Luoxia Pass are the biggest obstacle for him and the Nine Heavens Army.
"Brothers, follow me!"
Yin Zhou's voice pierced through the clamor of the battlefield, resounding like thunder across the sky.
He took the lead, hoisted a large shield, grabbed an iron spear from a soldier next to him, and used it as a shield. Facing the rain of arrows and boulders, he advanced step by step toward the towering Luoxia Pass.
His tall figure appeared even more imposing in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a fearless god of war.
However, just as King Zhou of Yin was about to approach the city wall, a strange sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out.
On the city wall, rows of specially made Mohist crossbows were aimed at King Zhou of Yin. The crossbow bolts were wrapped with special Mohist talismans and shot out with a whistling sound as they tore through the air.
These crossbow bolts are extraordinary; they are designed specifically to destroy the enemy's protective aura. Once hit head-on, even a powerful aura-wielding general would find it difficult to withstand.
Upon seeing this, a look of seriousness flashed across King Zhou's eyes.
As a general of the Nine Heavens Army, he was well aware of the power of these crossbows, but he did not back down.
Instead, he roared and advanced instead of retreating, his inner energy surging and instantly condensing into a huge black and red energy dharma image, like a war god descending to earth.
This powerful avatar, also wielding a long spear and radiating dazzling light, stood in front of Yin Zhou.
"God of War? Aim your crossbow at him!"
On the city wall, the general of the Sparrow King's army shouted orders.
Instantly, bolts from several crossbows rained down like a storm, carrying the power to tear everything apart, and shot towards Yin Zhou's protective aura.
However, Yin Zhou's protective aura revealed astonishing defensive capabilities.
When the bolts from the crossbows touched the aura of the dharma image, they were directly swept away by the spear in the hand of the black and red dharma image behind Yin Zhou, and they all exploded and turned into specks of debris that sprayed into the air.
"Hmph! A mere few Mohist siege weapons dare to stop the advance of my Nine Heavens Army?"
Yin Zhou snorted coldly, and the internal energy within his body surged once more.
Maintaining the black and red aura behind him, he wielded an iron spear and charged suddenly toward the city wall.
Wherever the spear passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, producing bursts of explosive sounds.
Upon seeing this, the Sparrow King's army on the city wall threw down boulders, logs, and other defensive equipment in an attempt to stop King Zhou's offensive.
However, Yin Zhou's protective aura was like an invincible war god; with each swing of his spear, boulders and logs were shattered to pieces.
Both sides paid a heavy price in this fierce battle.
However, King Zhou of Yin led from the front, personally charging into battle and using spears and shields to pave a path to victory for his soldiers.
The figure clad in black armor moved like lightning across the battlefield, constantly weaving between friend and foe, delivering fatal blows to the enemy.
As time went by, the soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army gradually adapted to the Mohist weapons at Luoxia Pass.
They all followed the example of King Zhou of Yin, using their iron shields to form various formations to resist attacks from the city walls.
They all followed the example of King Zhou of Yin, using their iron shields to form various formations to resist attacks from the city walls.
At the same time, they also used ladders and battering rams to continuously launch attacks on the city walls.
However, despite King Zhou's unparalleled bravery, the Mohist weapons at Luoxia Pass were constantly emerging, causing him great trouble.
Among them, a device called the "Ink Dragon Winch" is particularly troublesome.
This device, meticulously designed by Mohist disciples, can launch iron chains wrapped with Mohist talismans. Once it hits an enemy, it will tightly bind them, rendering them unable to move.
When the Molong winch was activated, jet-black iron chains shot out from the city wall with a whistling sound, heading straight for King Zhou of Yin.
Upon seeing this, King Zhou of Yin frowned, manipulated his qi avatar, and brandished his spear to meet the iron chains.
The spear and the iron chain clashed in the air, producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.
Yin Zhou's aura as the God of War was incredibly powerful, but the iron chains were exceptionally tough, as if they possessed boundless strength.
For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
"Break it!"
With a loud shout, Yin Zhou unleashed his inner energy once more, manipulating his inner energy avatar to increase its power. With a fierce swing of his spear, he finally broke all the iron chains one by one.
However, at that moment, a strange sound of wind breaking came from the city wall.
King Zhou of Yin looked up and saw a device called "Ink Feather Flying Arrow" being activated.
These flying arrows were meticulously crafted by Mohist disciples. Once fired, they would hover in the air like birds, searching for the enemy's weaknesses.
Faced with such a troublesome weapon, Yin Zhou did not panic. Instead, he manipulated his Qi Dharma Image, wielding his spear and drawing brilliant arcs in the air, knocking down the black feather arrows one by one.
However, at that moment, another booming sound came from the city wall.
A device called the "Mo Lei Thunder Cannon" was activated once again. This thunder cannon can fire cannonballs containing gunpowder specially made by the Mo family. Once it hits an enemy, it will immediately detonate and unleash astonishing power.
