Chapter 1087: Crusade (3)
The roar of the explosions rang out one after another. In an instant, it blew the ten over war horses to bits in front of the army. The thick scent of blood immediately filled the air.
Master Yue’s eyes immediately widened.
At that moment, Hu Na’s voice rang out again.
“Release the next batch!”
At Hu Na’s command, they pushed another batch of war horses out of the troop. As the second batch of war horses was dispatched, another series of explosions shot into the sky outside the Free Valley.
Meng Fusheng and the others were hiding in a secret tunnel at the entrance of the Free Valley. They had been waiting to see the men from the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon fall into the trap and be blown to smithereens. However, they had not imagined that the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon’s leader would be so astute. He did not underestimate the enemy at all, but dispatched over a hundred war horses to completely detonate the exploding talismans that Meng Fusheng and the others had buried earlier at the entrance to the Free Valley.
As they saw the exploding talismans being defused one by one, Meng Fusheng’s expression immediately grew grim.
A few days ago, Ji Fengyan had distributed three hundred exploding talismans and ordered them to bury the talismans outside the Free Valley under the cover of night. They were to act as the Kingdom of Hua Xia’s first line of defense.
If the three hundred exploding talismans had exploded in the midst of the troops, they would be destructive enough to send more than ten thousand enemy troops to hell.
But now…
The exploding talismans had lost their use.
“Damn it. What’s the background of the leader from the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon? He’s so devious!” Meng Fusheng secretly gritted his teeth.
When the members of the Blood Tribe saw the exploding talismans they had buried being triggered, one after another, by the war horses, their hearts bled.
Hu Na was more cautious than any of them imagined. He was not at all impatient to attack. Instead, he repeatedly sent out hundreds of war horses. Not until the last batch of war horses had galloped several rounds around the outside of the Free Valley without triggering any explosions, did he allow the men to summon the war horses back. Then he led the troops to advance.
A hundred meters away from the entrance of the Free Valley, the army from the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon halted once more. This time, Hu Na pushed eight of the siege weapons to the front of the troop!
Hidden away, Meng Fusheng watched as the eight gigantic objects appeared at the entrance of the Free Valley. His brain suddenly exploded with foreboding. Without time to think further, he grabbed two members of the Blood Tribe next to him and yelled loudly.
“Hurry, retreat!”
At Meng Fusheng’s roar, the eight siege weapons were immediately activated. The catapults of the siege weapons viciously flung enormous blocks of flint at the mountain peaks flanking the Free Valley.
The towering mountain peaks were immediately smashed to smithereens by the flint. Shattered pieces of the big rocks fell, throwing up clouds of dust.
The siege weapons from the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon were huge, and their lethality was frightening. Even a tall mountain would be leveled within half a day of being continually bombarded by the eight siege weapons, not to mention the mountain peaks flanking the Free Valley.
It was obvious that Hu Na had understood the two battles between the Kingdom of Fu Xiang and the Kingdom of Hua Xia, and had accurately blocked and defused all the moves that the Kingdom of Hua Xia had made in the two previous attacks.
Fortunately, Meng Fusheng and the others had run fast enough, or they would have been buried under the gravel. However, having failed twice, a shadow shrouded their hearts.
The Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon was far superior to the Kingdom of Fu Xiang. Be it in terms of military might or strategy, they were worlds apart from the Kingdom of Fu Xiang!
