Chapter 566: Chapter 457 - One Shot Destroying Three Thousand Miles 3 (Climax, asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions) _1

"Boom!"

The first sound of the canon, coming from three hundred miles away, belatedly reached Zhang Guanlan’s ears.

The second mortar shell launched from there had already arrived a step before.

"Die! The man in the black cloak does his utmost, using his Divine Consciousness to trace the trajectory of the conical canon bullet.

But after he swung his dagger, the cannon shell suddenly started moving even faster and swerved slightly, easily slipping past the flash of the black-clad man’s blade to hit the rear of a Yunzhong battleship.

——It easily ripped open the ship’s stern with its unyielding power, piercing several layers of iron armor at the rear of the ship.

Luckily, the shell did not hit the ship’s ammunition depot, and therefore did not set off a chain explosion; unfortunately, it struck the propulsion system, and after a grating ’clack clack’ sound, the ship had no choice but to hover in place, motionless.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Guanlan was furious. As he formed the seals with his hand, the veins all over his body bulged. He summoned a cloud that covered the remaining three ships completely, and then he summoned a strong wind, supporting all of the Yunzhong battleships to fly northward.

However, at this time, Li Xuan’s Divine Consciousness was locked onto these three gunships through the eyes of the Azure Phoenix Niulang.

This Azure Phoenix was gliding 30,000 feet in the sky, less than 80 miles away from the three Yunzhong gunships, completely unaffected by the cloud cover.

"Boom!"

With Li Xuan’s command, the third conical canon shell, propelled by electromagnetism, was launched and streaked across 253 miles of cloudy sky, a blue-red lightning bolt that struck its target.

This shell was fired from beneath the edge of the gunship’s stern and then exited via the deck at the front. Its enormous penetrative power destroyed everything in its path, even destroying the core power furnace and the Central Array of the ship in a single blow.

Then came a violent explosion. The energy from the core power furnace and Central Array was incredibly volatile, tearing the 300 feet long giant airship to pieces in an instant, and forming a mushroom cloud in the sky.

Li Xuan didn’t carefully observe the results of his attack. He locked onto the fourth airship in the black cloud, his eyes as cold as a blade. The surrounding thunderbolts were crackling once more.

At this point, in front of the city gate of Nankou Pass, Juyong Pass Canjiang, Li Yan, standing in front of a square, his face white as a sheet.

He watched the Yunzhong battleships fleeing at full speed in the distance, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

Li Yan muttered to himself, unable to believe that what he was seeing was real and surely he must be dreaming.

How can there be such a terrifying weapon in this world? A firing range of up to three hundred and fifty miles, how did they do it?

Why didn’t the Court say they had such a divine object before?

If he, Li Yan, had known about it earlier, where would he have had the audacity to rebel?

"Ha ha ha!"

The imprisoned Juyongguan General, Yuan Jun, suddenly burst into laughter.

Li Yan originally ordered his soldiers to stuff Yuan Jun’s mouth with mud, but before they could do so, the cannonballs from within Nankou Pass soared across the sky, sinking a Yunzhong battleship in one shot.

Afterward, including Li Yan, everyone was staring blankly at the sky, unable to tear their gaze away for a moment.

So Yuan Jun could still laugh, his expression filled with joy: "Interesting, really interesting! To think that Great Jin has such divine objects, Great Jin’s destiny is indeed thriving and prosperous forever—"

"Old dog!"

Li Yan shouted in fury and violently swung his whip towards Yuan Jun. He used all his strength, expressing his anger and terror, lashing Yuan Jun until the man’s flesh was torn, and blood was splattering everywhere.

Yet Yuan Jun not only wasn’t angry, his laughter grew even louder: "Meng Wu’s Duke Li Yan, I’m just waiting to see when you will surrender! When will you face the punishment of thousands of cuts! Wait until you’re underneath in the underworld, then you can be Dukes and Lords for eternity!"

Just as Yuan Jun was laughing, Ashitiemuer, the young Shiwei prince who just arrived at Nankou Pass, almost crushed the whip in his hand into pieces.

He watched the scene in the sky for a moment, then turned around with a deathly pale face, looking at the city gate in front of him.

Ashitiemuer hesitated slightly before gritting his teeth and ordered: "Send word to all our units, prepare to attack the city!"

He saw the situation in the sky, knowing that the airships were hard-pressed to protect themselves, so they would no longer be able to help them break through the city walls of Nankou Pass.

One of Ashitiemuer’s personal bodyguards hesitated. They had previously been full of confidence in the five Yunzhong battleships and were in a hurry to march, so they hadn’t brought any engineering equipment since their conquest of Dushi Castle.

But then the man spurred his horse and dashed off, preparing to convey Ashitiemuer’s orders to all units.

Because he knew that at this time, whether they wanted to attack or not, they had to.

If they can’t take this Nankou Pass, their previous thousand-mile invasion would be meaningless. Even if they have the intact Juyong Pass in hand, it’s of no use.

Word has it that Yu Jie has used a detour to intercept ’Angulinao’ thousands of miles away. The more than two million sheep and 15,000 warhorses reserved by Meng Wu there were all poisoned and died.

Without these livestock, the food they carried in their army would only last for twelve days of battle.

If they cannot get supplies from north Zhili, they will have no choice but to retreat to the grasslands.

If they continue to linger, their hundreds of thousands of troops will collapse without a fight.
