History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws - Chapter 487
487 Slaughter: slaughter! Fear in despair!
“This is supposed to be an epic scene.” “It’s a pity that it was destroyed,” Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu said.
He stood at a high point and looked at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers marching South. They were like a dragon, stretching out for dozens of miles.
father, what do you think about Shen lang falling into a trap and the Army being infected with the plague? ” Zhu Rong asked.
Zhu hongzhu said, ” we can only use two methods to deal with Shen lang. Open schemes and power. You want to use a scheme on him? ” He’s simply overestimating himself. He’s the ancestor of all conspiracies.”
!!
ning Shao’s actions have already crossed the bottom line, ” Zhu Rong said. he’s not worthy of being King.
“Although ning yuanxian has this and that problem, he’s still a King,” Zhu hongzhu said. There was no need to mention Ning Zheng. Although he had been the king of Yue for less than 15 minutes, he had displayed the way of a King, and he was a good king. Ning Qi had been a King for less than a quarter of an hour. He was still a good king because he was determined to gain benefits. Ning Shao is a twisted madman, but a person like him can also be a King, and a Mad King is also a King.”
Zhu Rong was stunned. He vaguely understood the meaning behind his father’s words.
A wise monarch was a King, and a fatuous monarch was also a King. And the most important thing for a King was to have the knowledge of a ruler. No matter how powerful some people were, they would always treat themselves as a subject. On the other hand, some people, no matter how little power they had, would always treat themselves as Masters. Of course, there was another type of person called Shen lang.
“Father, we have over 200000 soldiers attacking Shen lang,” Zhu Rong said.
“So what?” Zhu Hong asked. As long as there are people, there will be an Army. There are many people, so what’s wrong with a few hundred thousand dying?”
Zhu hongxue stood on the city gate and looked at everything on the ground as if he was looking at ants. He was not to be blamed. He had stayed in the sky-Sea Pavilion for too long. Now that he was back in Yue country, he felt as if he had returned to the Qing Dynasty from Europe at the end of the 19th century. Was everything in front of him so backward and humble? that was why he looked down on him.
Moreover, he had killed too many people. He had killed hundreds of thousands of people in the sand primitive tribe and millions in the Western Region. So at this time, in his eyes, the human beings in the secular world were no different from ants, just a number.
He only wanted to end this farce as soon as possible. He wanted to lead the blood soul Army back to the kingdoms of the Western regions and break through the desert of death.
chenlang, I hope you can work hard. Don’t wait for me to make a move and your entire Army will be annihilated.
……………………
The Tian Yue hunting ground was only a few dozen li away from the capital.
After a few days and nights, ning Shao and the Zhu family’s hundreds of thousands of troops finally arrived at the city, surrounding the entire hunting ground so tightly that not even a drop of water could escape.
There was no other way. There were simply too many soldiers. It was not difficult to travel a few dozen miles, but it would take a lot of time for each of them to enter their battle formation.
This Army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers could be said to have stars like the clouds. The Duke of Qi, ning Qi, the Duke of Yi, ning Yi, the eldest Princess, Ning Luo, the governor of Tian Yue, Zhang Zhao, the Admiral of Tian Yue, Zhu wubian (the son of general Zhu Lin), the Earl of Jing ‘an, Wu Zhaozhong, and so on.
Who was the Commander-in-Chief of this Army of hundreds of thousands? The State of Yue’s central secret envoy, Ning Yu, was the original head official of the State of Yue. He was the uncle of ning yuanxian.
The three Royal uncles were ning Qi, ning gang, and Ning Yu. The first two had also been imprisoned for supporting ning yuanxian and Ning Zheng. Only Ning Yu remained standing. He was almost always in line with the Zhu family. Of course, it was not because he was loyal to the Zhu family, but because he would rely on whoever was more powerful.
After the Shen lang incident, the entire state of Yue’s Board of Ministers and Bureau of Military Affairs were almost completely wiped out. For a while, they could not find anyone to be the Minister of secrets. Ning Yu’s status was high enough and he was experienced enough, so he was pushed up.
Of course, Ning Yu, the Commander-in-Chief, did not speak most of the time. The real Commander-in-Chief was the Zhu family.
Yue King ning Shao’s trusted eunuch Nian said, ” “This battle is just for fun. Your Majesty is extremely intelligent, and Shen Lang’s Army is seriously infected. The 20000 troops have been reduced by less than half. Our 400,000 strong Army can easily fight against 10000 of Shen Lang’s.”
Almost no one responded to him.
“Duke Qi, what do you think?” eunuch Nian asked.
Yan e could not help but frown. you are just a eunuch. What right do you have to ask the Dukes such a question? ”
However, this eunuch Nian had always been from bird extinction city and had only followed ning Shao into the palace to become a eunuch two years ago, so he didn’t really care about the rules. Moreover, he was also considered an Imperial envoy, so it didn’t matter if he was a little rude.
He was asking if ning Qi had any other thoughts since the Zhong family had already surrendered to Shen lang.
When ning Qi found out about this, he was extremely furious. Ning Shao was too vicious and had no bottom line. In order to infect Shen Lang’s Army with the plague and make him carry a huge burden, he actually sacrificed the entire Zhong family and 80000 soldiers. How could such a person be a ruler? He was simply the King of Madness.
After hearing eunuch Nian’s question, ning Qi replied, ” “It’s just a battle with all my strength,”
“Good, good.” Eunuch Nian said, ” His Majesty has said that Shen Lang’s Army has been infected with a serious illness. They have suffered heavy losses. They can’t fight anymore. However, a Lion and a Tiger would still use all their strength to catch a rabbit. This battle not only represents the irreconcilable enmity between Yue country and Shen lang, but also represents the determination of the great Yan Empire to settle everything with this battle.”
There was no response from the audience. Only ning Yi and Ning Luo bowed and said, ” “We will obey Your Majesty’s orders.”
………………………………
Shen lang stood on the city wall and looked at the countless troops outside.
It was a huge scene. If it was a human army, this was the most enemies that Shen lang had ever faced.
Close to four hundred thousand troops, stretching for dozens of miles, surrounded the thirty thousand mu of the tianyue hunting ground. They were dozens of miles away from the capital, but the gap in the middle was almost completely covered by the Army.
“Your Majesty, are we really not going to defend the West Camp?” under Your Majesty’s treatment, most of our 80000-strong Army has survived, ” Zhong Yao said. although they’re still very weak, they have the will to fight.
Shen lang shook his head and said, ” it’s better for the West Camp not to defend. In everyone’s eyes, the West Camp is already a dead land of the plague. There are corpses everywhere. If you defend it, the enemy will attack. If you don’t defend, the enemy won’t dare to attack.”
The tianyue hunting ground was too big. It was almost 20 square kilometers. There were no city walls. The walls were only made of wood. It was indeed a bit fragile.
Furthermore, the perimeter of the stronghold was more than 30 miles. Shen lang only had 20000 troops, but he had to defend 30 miles of the stronghold. This meant that there was only one person per meter.
Because Shen lang had saved his life, the 80000 soldiers under Zhong Yao were willing to die for him. However, most of them had just recovered from their illnesses, and their bodies were still very weak. Furthermore, they were contagious, so they were still isolated from Shen Lang’s Army.
Therefore, in this battle, the 80000 people from Zhong Yao were of no use. To put it more directly, they were indeed Shen Lang’s burden.
then please allow the descendants of the Zhong family to fight for Your Majesty, ” Zhong Yao said. even I am willing to be a small soldier by Your Majesty’s side.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you,” Shen lang said.
In fact, Shen lang felt very awkward when he faced Zhong Yao. That night, Zhong Shishi let out a strange scream and said, ” you’re the White impermanence who sullied my innocence. how would the Zhong family look at Shen lang?
Actually, Shen lang did not really defile the Zhongshi. At least, he did not use any tools. However, he was extremely thick-skinned, and even if such a thing had happened, he could still face Zhong Yao calmly. The reason for the awkwardness was the other party’s attitude. Zhong Yao always had the attitude of wanting to give Zhong Shishi to him as a slave.
However, the current Shen lang really did not want to marry anyone anymore unless there were huge benefits.
……………………
The next day, dawn!
Everyone could clearly see that the Western Wall of the entire Tian Yue hunting ground was completely empty. There was not a single soldier guarding it.
On the East camp’s side, there were only 10000 soldiers on the city wall that was about 15 miles long.
Zhang Zhao, Zhu Rong, and the others were shocked? What the hell was Shen lang doing? Was he crazy? There were only 20000 troops in total, so why were there only 10000? Could it be that 10000 people had really died from the plague? Zhang Zhao and Zhu Rong did not believe it at all. Even ning Yi and Wu Zhaozhong did not believe it.
However, Shen lang only sent 10000 people to fight against an Army of 400000? How crazy was that?
“Should we attack the West Camp?” Wu Zhaozhong asked.
Zhu Rong shook his head and said, ” it’s probably fake that Shen Lang’s Army was infected with the plague and suffered heavy casualties. However, it’s true that Zhongyao’s 80000 troops were infected with the plague. That’s why Shen lang isolated the East and West camps. Furthermore, the East and West camps are a single entity. Even if we break through the West Camp, we will not have any objections. Therefore, we will focus on Shen Lang’s East Camp.”
Yue country’s middle Army’s high platform was about four li away from Shen Lang’s camp. It was a full 30 meters high and could overlook the entire battlefield. Zhu Rong, who was standing on the high platform, could see Shen Lang’s deployment and defense clearly with his binoculars.
Shen Lang’s defense line was too weak. The wooden walls were less than three meters high. Furthermore, they were extremely thin and could not withstand any impact. Although there was a platform on the wall, it could not fit any heavy weapons. Therefore, Shen lang had to drill a big hole in the wall and place the cannon on the ground.
this is probably the most one-sided battle in history. Only Shen lang could do this. Zhu Rong said,”using ten thousand people to fight four hundred thousand people?” I can’t help but shiver just thinking about it. ”
Ning Yi sneered, ” Shen lang is still a coward. Otherwise, why didn’t he attack the capital? ”
“It’s not that he doesn’t dare to, he’s just unwilling to,” Zhu Rong said lightly.
Ning Yi said,”uncle, who will fight the first round?” Ning Qi?”
In this battle, the 100000 soldiers led by ning Qi were the only troops that belonged to the Yue country. These people had complicated thoughts and did not want to fight with Shen lang at all. However, they felt that Shen lang would definitely lose, so they never thought of surrendering to Shen lang. Ning Yi’s words were to use the 100000 soldiers of ning Qi as cannon fodder and send them up first.
Zhu Rong shook his head and said to Ning Luo and the count of Jing ‘an, Wu Zhao, ” “How about you lead the Army to fight the first battle?”
“Alright!” Ning Luo said. She yearned for battle and slaughter, so she would never retreat on the battlefield.
Furthermore, the Earl of Jing ‘an, Wu Zhaozhong, and Shen lang had a great enmity, so he would fight to the death.
………………
The sun suddenly rose into the sky.
Under the sunlight, everything on the ground could be seen even more clearly.
The difference between the two armies seemed even greater. On one side, there was a vast, Black Mass. On Shen Lang’s side, there were only a few of them. The thin wooden walls could not even withstand a single blow.
“Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong!” The earth-shaking sounds of war drums resounded.
Commander-in-Chief Ning Yu suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted, ” “Attack the stronghold, attack the stronghold!”
There was no need for any trebuchets or siege weapons. There was only a wooden wall in front of them. It was less than three meters high and had been in the wind and rain for decades. It was already fragile. As long as they rushed in front of it, they could easily push it down.
“Charge!” Ning Luo suddenly pulled out her sword and shouted.
Destruction, destruction. No matter who he destroyed, it would be good as long as he destroyed and killed, especially Shen lang.
The Earl of Jing ‘an, Wu Zhaozhong, suddenly pulled out his sword and roared, ” the Army shall charge and kill Shen lang.
Then, the 100000-strong Army rushed towards the city wall of the tianyue hunting ground like a tide.
Dust and dirt rolled up, and the entire ground began to tremble.
Looking down from the sky, the 100000-strong Army was like a Black Tide surging toward the weak stronghold walls.
Ning Luo and Wu zhaochong both knew that Shen lang had a cannon and could shoot metal balls from a thousand meters away. However, how many people could a few hundred metal balls kill?
The Army was only about four miles away from the city wall, and they would reach in five minutes. How many iron balls could Shen lang fire in that time?
They knew that Shen Lang’s Nirvana Army had amazing archery skills, but this was not a city wall. It was a fragile wooden wall that could be pushed down easily. As long as they reached the front of the stronghold, he did not believe that Shen Lang’s 10000 to 20000 men could defeat 10000,200000, or 300000 men.
………………
“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”
Ning Luo and Wu Zhaozhong’s Army of 100000 continued to charge, getting closer and closer to the walls of the tianyue hunting ground.
He was within a thousand meters. Nine hundred meters. Eight hundred meters!
Zhu Rong was stunned. Why wasn’t Shen lang firing? he could clearly see through his binoculars that Shen lang had a few hundred cannons. He was already within attack range, so why was he not firing? Did he not know that this was the most precious time to attack? By the time the Army reached the front of the stronghold walls, it was too late to fire.
Zhu Rong immediately felt that something was wrong and ordered, ” “Duke of Qi, Duke of Yi, lead your army of one hundred thousand and attack!”
Everyone was stunned. When attacking a city, it was always a continuous battle between the troops. How could they send all 200000 troops at once?
Of course, the current battlefield was large enough. The 30000 mu of tianyue hunting ground could also accommodate 200000 troops to fight. However, this was not a traditional way of fighting.
However, ning Qi was only a little surprised, and then nodded.
attack! ning Qi drew his sword and shouted, ” attack!
Ning Yi pulled out his sword and shouted crazily, ” the Army shall attack! Kill all the rebels! Kill all of them!
Then, another 100000 soldiers charged out.
In that instant, the scene was really like a Great Migration of animals in Africa. The area was more than ten miles long and three to four miles wide, and it was densely packed with charging troops.
Everyone felt that something was wrong.
The Army at the front was already within 500 meters, but Shen lang still did not open fire. They were already within the killing range of the cannons, so why did he not open fire?
“Charge, charge, charge!”
The Army of Two hundred thousand covered almost the entire ground, and its original color could not be seen at all.
The Black Tide-like Army continued to approach.
Four hundred meters!
Zhu Rong was shocked. Shen lang, aren’t you going to open fire at this distance? ” What are you thinking? What do you want to do?
Three hundred and fifty meters!
On the high platform in Shen Lang’s campsite, Zhong Yao stood beside Shen lang. He trembled as he looked at the densely-packed enemy troops. He really wanted to ask,”is Your Majesty still not firing?”
The seed Master on the village wall even instinctively clamped her legs together. This was probably the craziest battle she had ever experienced.
The enemies outside roared like a tide and seemed to be very close. However, Shen Lang’s 10000 soldiers were silent and did not seem to have any reaction. She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Everyone looked at Shen lang.
Finally, the flag in Shen Lang’s hand was waved down!
The dozens of generals shouted at the same time, ” “Fire, fire, fire!”
In an instant, hundreds of cannons fired at the same time!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth-shaking explosion was deafening, and the entire ground was shaking violently.
The seed Masters on the walls almost instinctively covered their ears, but they realized that they had already stuffed cotton into their ears.
“Woah, woah, woah woah woah”
The hundreds of cannons fired grapeshot instead of iron balls.
This was also Shen Lang’s decision. He would not use solid shells and would use grapeshot instead.
Out of the hundreds of smooth-bore cannons, more than two-thirds were 12-pound cannons, and one-third were 18-pound cannons. However, whether it was 12 pounds or 18 pounds, because of the use of powerful explosives, even if it was a scattered bomb, the effective killing range could reach up to 500 meters.
However, in order to achieve the most shocking killing effect, Shen lang did not fire even if he was within 500 meters. Instead, he chose to fire at 350 meters.
At this distance, the two cannons were extremely powerful. Even a grapeshot could easily penetrate the body of every soldier.
According to the manufacturing method on earth, there were about 50 shells in a 12-pound grapeshot, and about 70 to 80 shells in an 18-pound grapeshot.
However, Shen Lang’s explosives were more powerful. Therefore, he changed the iron balls into lead balls. This way, they would be of the same volume and mass, and they would be more lethal. The 12-pound grapeshot actually weighed more than 12 pounds, and it was filled with 80 shells. The 18-pound grapeshot was stuffed with 120 lead balls.
In an instant, more than fifty thousand pellets were shot out. It was really like a Steel Storm, spraying out madly.
The soldiers at the forefront of the charge felt their vision blur, and then a dense storm came crashing down.
In an instant
Like raindrops hitting banana leaves, blood spurted out.
A crazy massacre!
At a distance of more than 300 meters, the grapeshot pellet shot through one soldier’s body and then into the second.
In an instant, groups of enemies fell.
………………
Zhu Rong, who was on the high platform in the middle of the Army, saw it clearly with his binoculars.
As Shen lang fired his cannons, countless metal weapons rained down. Then, his Army was like waves crashing into a reef, instantly shattering into pieces.
How many people had died in this wave? Thousands of people? This, this was too shocking.
Ning Luo and Wu Zhao were stunned, then suddenly shouted, ” “Continue to charge, continue to charge!”
Then, the Army paused for a moment and continued to charge forward.
Although Shen Lang’s grapeshot was amazing, the first round of cannon fire only killed 1000 people. To an Army of 200000, this was an insignificant number.
“Charge, charge, charge!”
As long as they could reach the front of the city wall, it would be a victory.
However, just ten seconds later …
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Shen Lang’s hundreds of cannons fired again.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Countless metal raindrops once again poured out.
Once again, they began to massacre. This time, the distance was even closer. The 50000 bullets killed nearly 2000 people. The enemies were simply too densely packed.
On the other hand, the firing speed of Shen Lang’s cannon was too fast. As he used high-quality steel, he did not have to worry about the chamber exploding or the need for too much cooling. The best gunpowder was used, and when the explosion occurred, almost no residue was left behind. Even the cotton cloth wrapped around the explosives was completely burned clean, and there was no need to clean the cannon.
After firing, he wiped the inside of the barrel as quickly as possible, stuffed the gunpowder bag, grapeshot, and opened fire. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, or even faster.
Therefore, Shen Lang’s next few hundred cannons did not slow down. Instead, they became faster and faster.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
There was a series of earth-shattering sounds. A Storm of Steel was thrown out, taking lives. The Army trained by the Zhu family was brave. They rushed into the terrible Metal Storm.
The distance between them was getting closer and closer. Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters.
However, every dozen meters he advanced became extremely difficult.
The density of Shen Lang’s cannons was too high. There was one cannon every 20 meters.
When the enemy was within a few dozen meters, the metal Storm slaughtered them from all directions.
What was even more despairing was that the 10000 soldiers on the city wall had also begun to shoot. All of them were using super strong bows of 2.5 piculs. Within a distance of 100 meters, they were extremely lethal and their accuracy was terrifyingly high.
Fifty meters became the enemy’s maximum distance, and they could no longer move forward.
All the enemies within this range had become corpses.
Slaughter, slaughter, slaughter!
At this distance, the Cannon’s shrapnel could penetrate more than ten meters. As long as there were enough people, one shrapnel could penetrate four or five people.
Within this line, countless corpses were piled up like mountains.
Cannonballs and pellets were scattered, and arrows were shot wildly.
The dozens of meters in front of the village wall became an absolute death zone.
……………………
f * ck, f * ck, f * ck! Zhongshi instinctively wanted to shout out vulgarities. Although she was the daughter of a rich family, she would occasionally swear as long as her parents didn’t hear it. However, there were so many people around, so she swallowed her words.
That was because she was holding the scimitar tightly and was ready to enter the craziest battle. She would never embarrass the Zhong family, especially in front of Shen lang. Trash white impermanence, scumbag, villain, pervert.
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers charging at her, she really felt that this was a desperate battle. He didn’t expect the battle to end up like this. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers couldn’t even get close. She didn’t even swing her blade once, and countless enemies fell.
Moreover, Shen Lang’s Army was so powerful. These tall women could shoot arrows continuously and could shoot one arrow per second. They were so powerful that it made one’s hair stand.
They had already shot millions of arrows in the short time they had been fighting. He didn’t even know how many bullets the cannons fired. It was an astronomical number.
In any case, the ground dozens of meters ahead was covered with corpses. It was truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
……………………
On the high platform in the middle of the Army, Zhu Rong saw all this with a high-power telescope.
He felt his scalp go numb and his hair stand on end. He had never seen such a secret killing zone.
The area within a dozen miles was completely covered by a rain of bullets, leaving no blind spots. The places where the bullet rain couldn’t reach were filled with arrows.
How was this a battlefield? this was simply a slaughterhouse.
“I knew it would be like this, I knew it!” Zhu Rong trembled. He knew Shen lang too well, and he knew that Shen lang would not fight an unprepared battle.
But when it really happened, it still made people’s eyes pop. He could even feel that Shen Lang’s Army had entered a state of frenzy, and the rate of fire of the cannons was getting higher and higher.
boom boom boom boom! a deafening sound rang out.
“Marshal, the battle is about to collapse. The Army can’t bear such a large number of casualties. It’s about to collapse,”
In fact, the Zhu family’s Army was already strong enough. If it were any other Army, they might have collapsed a long time ago with such casualties. However, they only showed signs of collapse now.
“I thought the battle would last for a few days and nights. I didn’t expect it to collapse in less than two hours,” Zhu Rong said through gritted teeth.
“Zhang Zhao, your 100000-strong Army will press forward as well,” he suddenly ordered.
Yes, sir! the governor of tianyue, Zhang Zhao, shouted.
Then, he suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted, ” “Charge!”
Another 100,000-strong Army charged toward Shen Lang’s weak city wall.
However, Zhu Rong knew that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers could only be used as cannon fodder to consume Shen Lang’s ammunition.
Ordinary armies were already outdated in this world.
Zhu Rong looked at Shu tingyu of the hidden origins sect and said, ” Young master Shu, can your Iron Blood Army withstand a weapon like Shen Lang’s? ”
there will be casualties, ” Shu tingyu said. but we can hold on!
my Army will block Shen Lang’s bullets for you, ” Zhu Rong said. you can go now.
Shu tingyu looked in Shen Lang’s direction and said slowly, ” “Shen lang, that was just an appetizer. The real battle is here. I will let you know that your Nirvana Army is not as good as my Iron Blood Army. Your Amazon Army is at best on par with my Iron Blood Army.”
“Iron Blood Army, attack!” Shu tingyu then shouted.
In an instant, the 20000 Iron Blood Army soldiers of the hidden origin sect charged out like lightning. Their speed was extremely fast, like leopards.
Zhu Rong then turned to Master Kong ye of the heavenly temple and said,”Master, what about you? Can you take it?”
“No problem. Although Shen Lang’s weapon is sharp, he can’t do anything to the Army of the heavenly temple,” Master Kong ye said.
“Attack!”
With this order, the heavenly temple’s super Legion attacked!

[ note: I’ll present you with the first chapter. Brothers, let’s have a monthly vote! ] The distance between them was pulled apart, so painful!
