0658 Invisible Enemy
"Tell the militia to come and kill the corpse......"
Zhao Guanren jumped up from the back of the war horse, jumped into the middle of several corpses, and swung the heaven-level treasure knife to slash violently, without the assistance of the blue and white long knife, he could not do it with a single blow to split more than ten meters of sword energy, his cultivation could only swing out more than two meters of sword qi.
"Come on! too much......"
The chestnut man suddenly jumped in the air, grabbed him and jumped to the bank of the river, it turned out that a river embankment dozens of meters long had been padded in the river, and the corpses who went down the river were blocked by the embankment, nearly a thousand corpses were fluttering, and the bank in front was also full of corpses.
"How can this be, where did the corpse come from......"
Zhao Guanren looked around in disbelief, corpses were constantly drifting down the upstream, there were thousands of them just that could be seen, and it was estimated that there were more sunk under the water, but this was by no means the corpses that were defeated by them, and if they wanted to go around from outside the valley to the upstream, it would take at least half a day's journey.
"There are warships!"
The chestnut man suddenly pointed upstream, only to see a big red official ship, which was drifting down crookedly, the hull and sail were covered with bloodstains, and when Zhao Guanren opened the binoculars to take a closer look, there were actually a large number of corpses gnawing on the warship.
"Oh no, there are corpses who have overtaken us and crossed the river directly......"
Zhao Guanren put down the telescope like a dead face, but suddenly heard a "bang" sound, a huge white python jumped out of the water, and with a sweep of its tail, it flew dozens of corpses, and then opened its bloody mouth and swallowed left and right, directly eating the corpses on the bank of the river.
"Jade Jiaolong, why are you here......"
Zhao Guanren shouted in surprise, when Lu Datou and the others evacuated Jinling City, they let Yu Jiaolong swim to Gusu City by himself to wait, Zhao Guanren was originally worried that it would become a corpse in the middle of the road, but seeing that it even dared to eat corpses, it was obviously not afraid of corpse poison.
"Hiccup~ too much! I can't eat ......"
Yu Jiaolong actually raised her head and burped, twisted the round snake to the shore, and the illusory Princess Xiang appeared directly on the ground, she rubbed her belly and said: "The people of Gusu City asked me to tell you that the fleet can't come, and there are many corpses who have already crossed the river!"
"Where did the corpses come from, and why did they go around to us......
Zhao Guanren looked at her incomprehensibly, Yu Jiaolong tilted his head and said: "I don't know! There were corpses diving across the river last night, and there were not many scattered at first, but at noon they couldn't be counted, and even the fish in the river were corpses, and even I dared to bite them!"
"Wow~"
Before Yu Jiaolong's words fell, a finless porpoise shot out of the water, and dozens of tentacles grew out of its belly, shooting at Zhao Guanren like a javelin, but Yu Jiaolong turned his head and swallowed the finless porpoise directly.
"Where the did this come from......"
Zhao Guanren asked anxiously: "Yujiaolong, how is Gusu City now, can the Jiangbei army hold it, and have the people evacuated?"
"It's okay for the time being, only a few ...... have crossed the river"
Yu Jiaolong said: "There is a man named Wang Rushan let me tell you that the corpse man is stationing troops on the other side of the river, and has captured the riverside wharf, specifically attacking the passing ships, and gathering at the wharf will not attack the city, he feels that the corpse man wants to trap you here and prevent you from crossing the river!"
"Are corpse men so smart?"
The chestnut man was suspicious, and Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "Ordinary corpses don't have this kind of IQ, and the demon general has to go through a long time if he wants to be smart, including Ye Yunchen, who won't be so smart, and it should still be in the main force, I'm afraid that something strange will appear again!"
"That's not right......"
The chestnut man frowned and said: "Even if the human is in command, he will not know that we are waiting for the boat to cross the river, unless it is the same as before, there are little corpses in the team to ventilate the news, so that we can be trapped here just right, otherwise it will be too much of a coincidence!"
"But even if there is a little corpse, it can't communicate with the demon general's heart......"
Zhao Guanren looked back at the city in the distance, and said worriedly: "We can cross the river without a boat, but the speed will be greatly reduced, and the narrowest part of the river is also thousands of meters, at least three kilometers long iron cables are needed, and two wooden towers need to be built!"
"I know you've got a good brain......"
The chestnut man suddenly said: "As long as you let my family cross the river, I don't want the salary for the next three years, I can't help here, I'll go and notify the Fenglin Army to come and kill the corpse, you think about the countermeasures, I know you will be able to do it!"
"Let the Wind Forest Army not move, just ask the group to train and deal with this corpse, take a shield and a spear ......"
Zhao Guanren hurriedly instructed, and the chestnut man immediately jumped on the war horse and galloped away, but Yu Jiaolong stared at his back and said, "Master, although I can't see it, I have a strange feeling, it seems that something is following him, and ...... You!"
"Damn! don't scare me......"
Zhao Guanren hurriedly opened his soul chasing eye, but he didn't find anything on the chestnut man, and then looked at his own front and back, but still didn't find anything, he said depressedly: "Xiaojiao, are you a corpse who eats too much and has any adverse reactions?"
"I can't say it, it's a feeling of non-existence anyway......"
Yu Jiaolong shook his head helplessly, followed by a few corpses that climbed up with a snake tail, and Zhao Guanren said again: "Xiaojiao, you go and get the warship in front of you, if there are other ships also pull over, beware of the corpse fish!"
"I'm the overlord of the river, and no one can hurt me......"
Yu Jiaolong rushed back into the river, dragging several official ships and merchant ships over one after another, and tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops also rushed over, putting their shields and door panels in front of them, lined up on the bank of the river, and stabbed them with a shot as long as there were corpses ashore, and the crossbows and hunting bows were all in place.
"Come over from the Ministry of Works, don't stand stupidly......"
Zhao Guanren hurriedly called a group of officials and ordered: "Immediately arrange for the people to get on the boat to cross the river, build a bridge on both sides of the river, and leave a bridge hole under the bridge to prevent the river from overflowing the bridge deck, and you must not go into the water, the river water has been polluted!"
"Lord Wang!"
A waiter from the Ministry of Engineering said urgently: "The tools in the city are limited, and the iron cables can't be made too thick, if there are not enough boats as pontoons, we are worried that we won't be able to bear the weight of a kilometer long, and the iron material is not enough, so we have to keep the iron pot for cooking!"
"How did you become a waiter in the Ministry of Works, you went through the back door......
Zhao Guanren said angrily: "If one iron chain is not enough, make a few more, if the iron is not enough, use copper, and if the copper is not enough, put on the hemp rope, so many women are idle to eat dry rice, from now on all the hemp rope will be rubbed for me, and the door panels and beams will also be removed for me, and all that can be used will be used!"
"Yes!"
A group of officials and masters ran away in a hurry, but the more Zhao Guanren looked at them, the more angry he became, so he simply found a group of experienced people and asked them to join the Ministry of Industry as officials on the spot.
The sky was completely dark, but the banks of the long river were still brightly lit, the people were like a long dragon carrying stones and wood, the city walls of Rongma County were demolished, and the women were also busy, sending fragrant meals to the front line.
"Sir!"
Qiu Ning and the other women ran over from the rear, and a wooden shed on a high platform was built by the river, Zhao Guanren was sitting on the high platform eating noodles, and Yu Jiaolong had already run away.
"The battle outside the valley is over......"
Qiu Ning jumped up and said: "But there are still many corpses crushed under the corpses, the soldiers can only guard the cliff in shifts, and the scouts can only wait for dawn before being released, but a kind of corpse goshawk appeared, almost injuring the general of the Wind Forest Army!"
"It's all trifle......"
Zhao Guanren put down the bowl and said: "I've always wondered who is controlling the corpse army by the river, why does it know to intercept the fleet and prevent us from crossing the river, and Bai Bai and Blood Ji must have encountered a big incident, otherwise it would not have been delayed until now!"
"There shouldn't be any more ghosts, what did Yu Jiaolong say......
Qiu Ning sat down beside him and thoughtfully lit a cigarette for him, Zhao Guanren frowned and said, "Yu Jiaolong said that something followed me and Lizi, but neither of us found anything, so I was wondering, could it be the reason why we were poisoned by corpses?"
"Impossible, right?"
A group of people all looked at him in amazement, but Zhao Guanren stood up again and said: "I have done everything that should be done, let Chen Guanxi ascend the throne as the emperor after crossing the river, if the heavenly punishment still refuses to let go of human beings, let's prepare to go to Mobei to live!"
After Zhao Guanren finished speaking, he walked down, the chestnut man held the knife and silently followed, at this time the simple stone bridge on the river bank had been laid, in order to be more reliable, the stone bridge also deliberately turned around the deepest part, with many thick beams as pile foundations, and the heavy city gate also became the bridge deck.
"Chestnut! do you have any strange feelings, such as something staring at you all the time......"
Zhao Guanren walked up to the stone bridge with a flashlight, and the chestnut man followed behind and whispered: "No! If there is something I can't detect, it must be the black monster I saw after being poisoned, I feel that it has remained in my heart and has not left, as if it is looking for an opportunity to kill me!"
"Hmm!"
Zhao Guanren stopped on the bridge deck made of the city gate, looked at the somewhat turbulent river and said: "If it is the sequelae left by the corpse poison, I am not too worried, no matter how strong the corpse is, it is a man-made disaster, and the most feared thing is a natural disaster, in case the water rises upstream, it will be over!"
"I think so......"
The chestnut man suddenly frowned and said: "If there is something following us, it will definitely know what we are doing here, and if I were it, it will definitely send more corpses to jump into the river and wash away the stone bridge we have built, so as to cut off our retreat!"
"Makes sense!"
Zhao Guanren subconsciously raised the flashlight and shone towards the dark upstream, and suddenly found that the water was densely packed with human heads, as if the flood water had burst the embankment pouring down......
