Five Elements Heaven

Chapter 572: The rout of the front line

When Koning retreated with the Blue Flag War Department, he discovered that the area around the Chongyun Gun station was overcrowded.

The Blue Flag War Department suffered heavy losses, and less than one-third of them came back alive. It can be said that they have completely lost their combat effectiveness. But Kening didn't want to go back in despair. He took the remaining war corps and stationed himself in a relatively peripheral position.

Finally having a chance to breathe, everyone in the Blue Flag war department also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the casualties were huge, and the morale of the soldiers in the camp was low. Before going to the battlefield, they were very ambitious and full of ambitions. After improving the tower cannon, they even thought they had the key to victory.

However, the Blood Cultivator gave them a head-on blow, and when they saw their comrades falling down like wheat, they realized how big the gap was with the Blood Cultivator War Department.

The camp was filled with the wails and groans of the wounded, and the remaining people were dejected and demoralized. Kening felt depressed and walked out of the camp alone.

Li Houtang noticed something strange about Ke Ning, put down his work and walked out of the camp.

Kening sat by the creek not far from the camp.

Li Houtang heard Ke Ning's suppressed cries when he got closer. He sighed in his heart, sat down next to Ke Ning, and comforted him: "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much."

In his eyes, Ke Ning is like his nephew, whom he watched grow up. Ke Ning has had a high self-esteem since he was a child. This defeat was such a huge blow to him that Li Houtang was worried about whether he could recover from it.

Li Houtang then advised: "There are not many war departments that can compete with the Blood Repair War Department. There is no shame in losing. However, it is not safe here, so we should retreat as soon as possible. According to the speed of the Blood Repair War Department's sudden advance, we will soon be defeated." Will kill here."

Kening wiped the tears on his face, stopped crying, raised his head and said, "I won't leave."

Li Houtang sighed: "Is now the time to lose your temper? This time the Blood Repair War Department is out in force, who can stop it? Even Chongyun's Spear, with the help of Zhenshen Peak, will be difficult to stop."

Kening asked back: "Chongyun's spear can't stop it, so even if we retreat, where can we retreat to?"

Li Houtang was speechless.

Yes, Chongyun's Spear is already the last line of defense. If it cannot be defended, there is really nothing that can stop the torrent of blood cultivation.

"We want to stay." Corning emphasized his tone: "Join the tower cannon alliance. Our tower cannon actually brings harm to the enemy. The art of tower cannon is useful, but our level is too poor. Join the tower cannon Alliance, learn the true art of tower cannon, and our combat effectiveness will definitely improve."

Li Houtang said worriedly: "But I heard that Shi Xueman is domineering and arrogant. What if we join the Tower Artillery Alliance and hand over the war department?"

"Then hand it over!" Kening's tone was firm, and he then laughed at himself: "What's the use of our remaining war department in our hands?"

Li Houtang did not try to persuade him. Kening was right. The war department was crippled and morale was at rock bottom. After a tragic defeat, many people were afraid that they would never have the courage to fight against the blood cultivators again.

Ke Ning stared at the stream and said: "So many brothers are dead, I can't just go back and hide without saying a word."

Li Houtang said with some worry: "With so many war departments, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to join the Tower Artillery Alliance."

Koning seemed to be saying to himself: "Soon there won't be so many war departments."

Li Houtang couldn't help but said: "What do you mean there won't be so many war departments soon?"

Ke Ning asked: "What does Uncle Li think of our Blue Flag?"

Li Houtang said with a bit of pride: "There is no way to compare with Chongyun's Spear, but it is still much better than the average war department."

Kening nodded, obviously agreeing with Li Houtang's meaning, but his tone changed: "Even we were defeated so miserably, how could other war departments be spared?"

Li Houtang was stunned.

Ke Ning continued: "Uncle Li, look, there will be a lot of bad news coming soon, and at least most of the people here will run away."

Li Houtang was surprised and couldn't help but look at Kening.

She had a somewhat immature face before, but now she is so smoky that she seems to have matured a lot overnight. The previous arrogance and arrogance disappeared and he became much calmer.

Li Houtang was very pleased.

Kening's words came true.

The Azure War Department was defeated, the Jinyu War Department was defeated, and the Baiyang War Department was destroyed...

Defeated war departments followed one after another, and on one day at most, news of the defeat of five war departments was received.

By now, the enemy's strength and warheads have gradually emerged. The enemy is divided into three groups and advancing at the same time.

The Divine Tiger War Department, which leads the Mingguang Blood Department and the Roaring Blood Department, and the Divine Demon War Department, which leads the Blood Generation Department and the Blood Destruction Department, serve as the two wings. The Divine Wolf War Department leads the Silver Frost War Department as the forward arrow.

However, in three directions, Yuan Xiu's war department was completely defeated.

The tower gun technique, which everyone had high hopes for before, did not bring everyone victory.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and depressing, and the defeated war department on the front line fled back, which was a huge blow to morale. According to survivors' descriptions, the Blood Repair War Department is as invincible as gods and demons.

People in all war departments are in panic, and various rumors and versions are flying everywhere.

Some war departments have already seen that the situation is not good and have begun to retreat to the rear. After imitating it, there was an immediate upsurge in retreat. Every day the war department breaks out of camp and retreats.

The area near the overcrowded Chongyunzhigun camp began to become empty.

The atmosphere at Chongyun's Gun also became tense.

Jiang Wei, who returned to the camp, began to prepare for the battle regardless of his injuries. The young team members brought back were also arranged to join the practice at this time. Originally, these young team members were prepared for the future, but the situation suddenly became critical and they could not care about anything else.

In the camp, the person under the greatest pressure is Fatty.

Fatty was full of energy from the beginning, especially when he learned that Ai Hui would be here soon, it was as if he had been given a shot of blood. Being able to show off in front of Ah Hui has been a dream since he was a coolie in the wilderness.

But as the situation worsened, the thought of showing off to Ai Hui had long been forgotten by him.

The tower cannon is their key weapon against the Blood Repair War Department, and it is also the basis for their tactical layout. If there is a problem with the tower cannon, all the arrangements will have to be overturned.

The fat man, who had never shouldered such a heavy responsibility, felt that there were mountains on his shoulders.

Unfortunately, the tower gun casting encountered a problem.

An area of ​​the camp was converted into a dedicated craftsman area and was in full swing. A large number of craftsmen who were recruited and exchanged for snow lava were trying to refine real hive heavy cannons.

What Fatty used for demonstration that day was a scaled-down version. In his imagination, the length of the honeycomb heavy cannon would reach six feet and its diameter would reach one foot.

Fatty's vision is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Everyone is still not familiar with the refining of tower cannons, let alone the honeycomb heavy cannon with amazing specifications. So far, they have not succeeded. This fat man is so anxious that his mouth is on fire and his eyes are bloodshot.

"Fat Master, which tower can withstand such a heavy cannon?"

"Fat Master, how about we make it smaller? A smaller one is not bad at all!"

The craftsmen persuaded each other one after another, and the continuous failures had a huge impact on everyone's morale.

The fat man's eyes immediately turned red: "Shut up, everyone!"

As soon as the fat man got angry, everyone suddenly became silent and hung their heads.

Fatty misses Blind He very much now. Although Blind He is always cold, he is absolutely amazing at what he does.

Zu Yan came over, squatted on the ground, and carefully inspected the scrapped heavy artillery. He soon discovered that the problem lay in the honeycomb-shaped inner tube, which had many small scratches.

This was the crux of the problem. The craftsmen were unable to cast a qualified inner tube of the Honeycomb Heavy Cannon.

Zu Yan was also racking his brains. His injuries were basically healed, and he knew that the current situation was critical and they didn't have much time left. If they cannot forge enough hive heavy artillery, their strength will be greatly reduced.

It's a pity that Zu Yan is not a weapons master and knows nothing about forging, so he didn't gain much after a long time.

When leaving the craftsman area, you can still hear Fatty's furious and roaring sounds. It was the first time that Zu Yan saw Fatty getting angry in such a hurry. In his eyes, Fatty always didn't care about anything and didn't care about anything.

Now he looks like a tyrant, completely different from the other two.

Apart from anything else, Fatty had saved his life, and Zu Yan was also thinking about how he could help Fatty solve this problem.

He remembered Fatty saying that as long as the craftsman's skills were good, forging the inner tube of the honeycomb was not a problem. However, the craftsmen in the camp were all traded or recruited, and their skills could only be considered qualified. The skills of craftsmen cannot be improved in a short period of time.

Or find a good craftsman?

But where to find it? There is no village or shop here, how can there be any craftsmen?

Zu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he knew where the craftsmen were. But then he had some concerns. After all, the forging of the tower gun needed to be kept secret, but then he thought, if he lost this game, he would have nothing, so why should he keep it secret?

The situation is as Kening expected, and he has not been idle. He has been continuously boosting morale these days. As for those soldiers who had lost their bravery, he paid severance pay to let them go back.

After some rectification by him, there were only more than a hundred people left in the originally small camp, and the camp was empty. But the morale in the camp has taken on a new look, and those who insist on staying are all warriors eager for revenge.

There has been no movement from the Tower Cannon Alliance. Kening endured it and did not go to Shi Xueman. He was waiting for an opportunity.

Ke Ning had been secretly paying attention to the Spear of Chongyun. When he found a Yuan Xiu of the Spear of Chongyun walking towards this side, he became energetic.

He took the initiative to greet him: "But the Tower Cannon Alliance is going to start recruiting?"

The other party was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No."

Kening was a little disappointed, but he still remained patient. Seeing the anxious look on the other person's face, he asked, "How can I help?"

The other party asked: "Do you have any craftsmen who are good at forging? Craftsmen with excellent skills."

Kening was surprised that the other party came for the craftsman, and couldn't help but ask: "What's the problem?"

The other party refused to say.

Ke Ning's heart moved. The craftsmen who needed forging at this time still refused to say, could it be...

He forced himself to restrain himself and said calmly: "Wait a moment."

He turned around and called Uncle Li.

The visitor looked at Uncle Li and asked politely: "We need craftsmen with outstanding skills, and we haven't asked your name yet."

Li Houtang looked proud and said: "Li Houtang, weapons master."

He is proud of this capital.

The visitor was surprised at first, and then became ecstatic.
