Chapter 334 The Siege of Cusco
Now the White Demons have also tasted the bitterness of beating a city with cannons.
Hundreds of White Demons and rebels on the city walls were killed by bombs, and the city gates were blasted open by cannon fire.
A small number of shells landed inside the city, and the people were so frightened that they ran away from the city gate.
The enemies in the city all gathered at the city gate, and no one maintained order, so the city was in chaos.
The White Demons were completely stunned and only began to organize a counterattack after being bombarded twice.
The cannons on the city wall roared, exchanging fire with the cannons on Princess Chuchu's side.
In an instant, the sound of cannons boomed and smoke billowed.
Princess Chuchu's side has more cannons than the White Demon Clan, giving them a slight advantage.
Lin Feng, who was watching the battle from a distant hillside, couldn't help but marvel at the power of the fire.
However, the current anger is not enough to threaten the martial artist.
If it were an attack on a city in China, there would have been a huge horde of warriors jumping off the city walls to engage in close combat.
Skilled martial artists can even destroy incoming cannonballs.
If firearms continue to develop, they will be beyond the capabilities of ordinary martial artists. In my previous life, firearms were extremely powerful, and even weapons of mass destruction like nuclear weapons emerged.
The Celestials' supply base contains various missiles and laser weapons.
Lin Feng remembered reading in a novel in his previous life that powerful martial artists could conduct human nuclear explosion experiments.
Lin Feng felt that he was not yet at that level. He thought that once he broke through to the Innate Realm and learned two martial arts techniques to temper his body, he might be able to do it.
Seeing that the battle on Princess Chuchu's side was at a stalemate, Lin Feng casually grabbed a handful of soil and threw it towards the city wall using the technique of Crimson Gold Glaze.
With the aid of mental energy, the range of Lin Feng's various martial arts techniques increased.
With a whoosh, the soil condensed into fifty spheres as it flew through the air. The spheres then ignited and turned into small red fireballs.
The fireballs, trailing white flames, landed precisely on the city walls above each cannon.
Boom, boom.
The fireball, imbued with true energy, exploded with a power even more terrifying than a cannonball.
The city wall was blasted open with large holes, and many soldiers behind the cannons were killed. The ammunition that had not yet been loaded exploded.
A thunderous roar erupted from the city wall, and flames shot skyward.
After the explosion, all the cannons on the city wall were disabled, and the White Demons were dumbfounded, completely unaware of what had happened.
The princess had just learned that her teacher had made a move; if not now, when would she ever get the chance to attack the city?
With a clang, the princess drew her sword and pointed it forward, roaring, "In accordance with the decree of the God of War, kill!"
The official reason for this military expedition is to uphold the will of the God of War to liberate our compatriots, drive out the White Demon Clan, and let the God of War's light shine upon the entire continent.
The alpaca cavalry, fearless of death, swarmed out and charged toward the destroyed city gate.
The White Demons responded swiftly, with a large number of musketeers rushing out of the city gates.
When both sides came into firing range, the alpaca cavalry and the musketeers at the city gate opened fire on each other almost simultaneously.
Bang bang bang, after a burst of gunfire, both sides suffered casualties.
The alpaca cavalry had many archers, and when the distance closed, the arrows fired faster than the muskets.
After several rounds of exchange of fire, the city gate was piled high with corpses, and a large number of alpaca cavalrymen also fell.
However, the alpaca cavalry had already reached the city gate.
A llama rider, riding his llama, leaped over the pile of corpses at the city gate, swung his saber, and cut down five White Mage warriors with a single blow.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. This man was a fierce warrior; truly, heroes emerge in chaotic times.
In times of chaos, there are always ordinary people who manage to rise up and achieve great things, bringing blessings to their descendants.
This person might be able to withstand three initiations; we should pay more attention to similar ruthless individuals in the future.
All the warriors that the princess initially led were martial artists who had been empowered by Lin Feng, and they crushed the White Demon Clan and the rebels in close combat.
The White Demons were forced into a series of defeats, and the rebel army fared even worse, with many throwing down their weapons and kneeling in surrender.
The princess initially did not order her men to slaughter the prisoners.
Once the reputation for massacring prisoners spreads, future battles will become increasingly difficult. Since death is inevitable anyway, the rebels in the city may fight to the death.
As the Naga warriors rushed towards the city lord's mansion, a dozen werewolves charged out on all fours, howling.
The Naga soldiers who had undergone the second initiation fought alongside these werewolves.
Werewolves, besides being incredibly strong, fast, and having strong defense, don't know any combat skills or martial arts moves.
The Naga soldiers worked in groups of several, with four or five men using long spears to pierce the werewolves' bodies and subdue them, while skilled knife-wielders took the opportunity to cut off the werewolves' heads.
The werewolves didn't cause any trouble for more than a few minutes before they were all wiped out by the Naga warriors.
Lin Feng floated above Cusco City, shaking his head as he watched. These werewolves were just ordinary werewolves and had no research value whatsoever.
The werewolves were defeated, and the White Demons immediately collapsed.
Naga soldiers began hunting down White Demon soldiers in the city.
The White Demon general in charge of guarding the city of Kusk escaped through the back door with dozens of his personal followers.
They had barely left the city when they were all killed by elite Naga warriors lying in ambush there.
Lin Feng scanned the city lord's mansion with his mental power and discovered that several vampires were hiding inside.
Because it was daytime, these vampires dared not come out and had no way to escape, so they could only hide in the shadows of the city lord's mansion.
Lin Feng used his mental power to inform a Naga tribe general below.
Mental strength inherently possesses the ability to communicate remotely with others.
Following Lin Feng's instructions, the Naga tribal general ordered his men to surround the city lord's mansion and prevent his warriors from entering it for the time being.
After the princess led her army into the city, she sent out a team of elite warriors.
These people opened all the doors and windows of the city lord's mansion and rushed into it with specially made iron nets and chains.
These are all martial artists who have undergone a second initiation; their reaction speed is no slower than that of vampires.
They used iron nets to trap the vampires, then dragged them to a sunny spot.
After a series of screams, these vampires all turned to ash.
With thorough preparations and Lin Feng in command, Cusco was captured in just over half a day.
The 300,000 Naga people and 50,000 slaves in the city were rescued. The people were overjoyed and offered food and wine to the Naga warriors.
Princess Chu Chu immediately declared the liberation of all slaves in the name of the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Martial Gods.
The slaves were naturally moved to tears and became devout believers of the Temple of Martial God.
The Naga warriors captured the surrendered city lord and his family, and Princess Chuchu ordered their public execution.
This time, they also captured a group of White Demon craftsmen who knew how to manufacture gunpowder and maintain cannons. These were rare talents and were kept under strict guard.
The battle casualties were quickly tallied: Princess Chuchu's side suffered over 8,000 dead and annihilated over 50,000 enemy soldiers.
This casualty ratio was unexpected.
Princess Chu Chu was very excited, feeling that she was not far from conquering the entire Northern Continent.
She worked with boundless enthusiasm, making arrangements in a flurry to treat the wounded and repair the city walls and gates.
A group of high-ranking disciples belonging exclusively to the Temple of Martial Gods were busy transforming the Temple of the Sun into the Temple of Martial Gods.
The remaining inhabitants of Cusco are almost all young people. After being enlightened, these people will form an army of hundreds of thousands, which can then be used as a base to attack other cities occupied by the White Demons.
At night, Lin Feng lay on the roof of the Temple of Martial God in Cusco, looking at the stars.
He saw the supernova explosion; in the Divine Continent, it was in the left sky, but in the Northern Continent, it was in the right sky.
It is clear that the two continents are not on the same hemisphere at all, and the distance between them is unknown.
Lin Feng was engrossed in watching when he suddenly noticed a vampire flying towards him from the direction of the moon.
Lin Feng suddenly sat up. This vampire was no ordinary vampire; its wings were twice the size of those of an ordinary vampire. Could it be a vampire prince?
