Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Great War Between Humans and Monkeys
General Lan sat in his general's mansion and calmly analyzed, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that the sneak attack of the Tang Army tonight was a little strange.
That is, in today's Bai, the soldiers guarding the city observed for the first time that there were Tang troops outside the city, and after continuous confirmation later, they found that their number of soldiers was not much, and the amount of gas used was about 10,000 at most.
It was a joke to use this bit of troops to attack the Sword Pavilion, so although General Lan ordered the soldiers to release wolf smoke, he got in touch with the emperor and the prince of the capital in time by sending a few heralds to ride back on fast horses to report the news.
In the express report, he has already made it clear that the enemy may launch an attack as early as the morning of the Ming Dynasty after resting, which is already his prediction in advance, in fact, General Lan thought in his heart that he had to wait for the other party to be able to attack, but he did not expect his prediction to be torn to pieces by the enemy's sneak attack tonight.
If it weren't for the fact that the enemy had such an attack hole card as a demon beast, I am afraid that even if they borrowed their courage, they would not have attacked the Sword Pavilion overnight! Because the Tang army from afar was tired, but the defenders were waiting for work
If it is in tonight's sneak attack, the Sword Pavilion is lost and chatting. I am afraid that General Lan will face the most severe sanctions, although he vaguely feels that the prince does not seem to be concerned about this matter, but if the people of the Great Wei Kingdom see that the Sword Pavilion was taken by the enemy in his hands, it will drag him to the square, and the possibility of killing him alive will exist.
So General Lan's big hand slapped on the desk again, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "General Zhong listens to the order!" "In!" With this question and answer words, outside the door of the general's palace hall, a soldier flashed out.
This person has already worn his armor. Previously, he had also accompanied Yang Li and his entourage, and at this time he led a group of soldiers, just outside the General's Mansion, which was the reserve force used by General Lan to rush to the aid of various city gate towers, and General Lan was afraid that the city gate would be lost, so he arranged for his henchman General Zhong to wait here.
After General Lan heard General Zhong's reply, he gave an order: "You quickly follow me and go to the East City Gatehouse, there is no business!"
After General Zhong heard this, he hesitated a little, he wanted to persuade General Lan to still sit in the marshal's mansion, otherwise how could he do it if there was no backbone in the army? But when the words came to his mouth, he saw the gloomy face of the main general, so he bit the words that he was about to blurt out and swallowed them into his stomach, crossed his hands and saluted, and said, "The last general obeys the order!"
General Lan came to the gate of the general's mansion and took the lead in turning over and riding on the white horse. General Blue's mount is a sturdy white horse, this horse has a peculiar skeleton, can travel thousands of miles a day, the only drawback is that it is snow-white, and there is not a single stray hair.
This is very eye-catching in the tens of thousands of troops, if it weren't for the fact that the mount travels thousands of miles a day, he would not be willing to designate it as his own car, because General Lan didn't want to become a conspicuous target among the ten thousand troops.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that General Lan was carrying a heavy treasure that could help him fly into the air, if he didn't use this treasure to attack the enemy, or if he used this treasure to escape, he would still be very sure of escaping!
General Zhong followed closely behind General Lan, turned on his horse and ordered his men to follow. Although the number of his subordinates is not large, the total number is only a thousand, but all of them are hundreds, and they are all good at charging and killing the enemy, and his soldiers can also be the elite of the elite of the army defending the city.
This time, if it weren't for the urgent military situation in the east, I'm afraid General Lan would not have dispatched this new force so early.
Yang Li had already eliminated the piercing monkeys on the left gate tower at this time, and finally after a scream and roar came out there, the rest of the piercing monkeys were all behind, and then they jumped or turned around, and they disappeared into the vast night like this, making people no longer visible, as if they had never come.
"Thank you, Lord for saving your life!" The unknown general saw that the monkey was defeated by Yang Li alone, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, and he was about to bow down to him, and his gratitude was beyond measure.
He didn't expect that people hadn't shown their blade magic weapons yet, just by relying on a few ordinary spears, they could defeat the demon beasts that would commit the crime.
"Generals don't have to be like this, they are all for the service of Great Wei. After Yang Li's big sleeves waved, the general suddenly felt a gentle breeze blowing, and his knees were gently lifted with just the right amount of force, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't kneel.
Yang Li didn't pay any attention to the general, didn't even bother to ask his name, just floated around him, and then walked down the steps to the bottom of the city gate tower.
After they saw that the monkey was beaten away by the owner, they took materials from the spot and built a bonfire, and put a few monkeys without breath on the wooden stick and roasted them.
"Listen to this monkey's meat is delicious! The big fat man, his cooking skills are almost all focused on the barbecue, "Yidao saw that his master had come down, so he stepped forward to explain what happened here, and before his words landed, a smell of barbecue game meat accompanied by bursts of cumin aroma came over.
A knife sniffed, feeling that his saliva was about to be hooked out, so he quickly stopped talking, looked at the monkey meat that was still grilling on the fire, and stopped talking. The expression was as if the prostitute had seen the yellow flower girl.
Yang Li also barbecued seafood in Phantom Bay, he felt that he was a gourmand at that time, and the seafood in his mouth was a rare delicacy in the world! But compared to the fragrance of today, it was a great thing! Where is the smell that should be exuded from food, and the attraction of material treasures to Rao is only so.
The golden monkey meat on the fire, under the high temperature, constantly dripping golden oil droplets, such fat droplets on the flame "sting", there is a smell of incense layer by layer.
The rich aroma attracted no less than three or five soldiers to surround them, their eyes were blazing, and there were complex emotional fluctuations in their eyes, such as greed and yearning.
Yang Li noticed that the knife beside him also had such an emotion, as if as long as the meat was roasted, they would be the first to rush over and eat it. Yang Li thought to himself in his heart, although he was also eager to take a bite, but he could control the almost demonic gnawing.
"The high salary is that I forgot to add more cumin, otherwise the meat of the demon beast will not be easy to get!" Zhu Da Fat suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have told him that the meat of the demon beast must be cooked with more cumin, otherwise the meat of the demon beast would not be delicious.
But after he put a large amount of cumin in, this piece of meat, which had previously emitted a strange aroma, did not volatilize such a strange smell again. The soldiers who had gathered around left in twos and threes, although there was still some nostalgia. The eyes of the knife also returned to their original radiance.
What did this piece of barbecue "do" to mobilize Rao's emotions? Yang Li walked around the monkey barbecue and didn't find an answer, but it was Zhu Da Fat who was happy. He thought that his barbecue skills had attracted the attention of the general, so a strange smile appeared on his face, and he also "toss" an "eyebrow" at the knife.
That means: Look at it, brother, I don't eat dry food for nothing! Although I am inferior to you in killing monkeys in battle, I am very sloppy about the prey you have captured, fat brother!
General Lan has an order, and all the guards in the city gate tower that there is no war must lead half of the men and horses of the headquarters to support, and the deputy general can be left to guard! Those who listen to the order must not be slackened in the slightest. ”
"Order!" the general was somehow "smoked" by the fragrance "smoked" a little dazed, and this time he woke up and heard the herald convey General Lan's order.
Could it be that there are monkeys there, too?!!!! The general stopped the herald who was about to leave and said, "You're from the east," and after the herald nodded, the general continued to ask, "Have you ever seen any demon beasts!"
The herald had a frightened expression on his face this time, he was probably afraid that his words behind him would cause unnecessary panic, so he looked around, then took the general's hand, quietly walked to a corner, and said with a serious expression: "Indeed, as the general expected, there really appeared a demon beast there." Now General Lan is also on the east city gate, fighting with the beast for blood. ”
After hearing this, the general took a big breath. Then he hurriedly checked the appearance and characteristics of the demon beast with the herald, and determined that there was no doubt that there was a monkey there.
He never thought that the arrogant monkey who was here suddenly appeared in the east, and the main general actually dispatched the reserve elite to fight there in person, if it weren't for the enemy team that was difficult to resist, I'm afraid General Lan wouldn't have called these defenders on the other city gates to rush to help.
Thinking that the battle on their side was not easy, if it weren't for Yang Lifang's bravery, I am afraid that his side would have broken the city in advance.
Thinking of this, the general looked at Yang Li with some hesitation, feeling a little apprehensive and uneasy in his heart, he really wanted to ask Yang Li to go there for help, but because of Bai's attitude towards others, it was difficult for the general to say these words.
"There's nothing to worry about! We're here to support General Blue. Yang Li didn't reply, his eyes looked at the monkey meat being barbecued on the fire, and said lightly: "Remember, just bring more spears!" The general was overjoyed, he bowed down on one knee, and said with a few salutes to the junior officers: "The last general will go to prepare horses! ”
Yang Li laughed: "No need!" The person disappeared. The general suddenly saw a flower in front of him, and he didn't see Yang Li's figure anymore. He circled around the same place a few times, and he didn't see any Gao Rao's figure, and as a last resort, he only looked at Zhu Da Fat with his eyes, but this guy was burying his head in cooking his own "dinner", and his eyes were firmly fixed on the barbecue, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.
The general hurriedly cast his eyes on Yidao, feeling that the cultivators who were traveling with the masters must know Yang Li's whereabouts, but Yidao actually ignored the inquiring gaze he thrown, and his eyes were also fixed on the barbecue, with an excited face.
Who told you that this guy was commanding in Bai Yi and didn't take our brother in his eyes, now you know that you are scared, right? You deserve it! The big fat man Zhu peeked at the general, smiled heartlessly, and sprinkled a large handful of cumin on the barbecue as if he were exaggerating without taste! Then he smiled at Yidao.
Seeing that the two of them were deliberately avoiding themselves, the generals had no choice but to ride on a tall horse, lead part of their troops, and hurriedly gallop to the east city gate.
Yang Li flashed his figure, of course, he went to the East City Gate Tower to take a look, he was in the smell of the meat of the barbecue monkey just now, and found that everyone was a little confused, feeling that there were probably some problems that he needed to solve after in-depth research after the war, and it was very likely that the problem was the monkey meat itself.
Of course, if you want to find out the details, you also need to ask General Lan, he has been stationed here for many years, and he must have some contacts with the people on the Tang Dynasty, so he will know more information. With this in mind, he did not straddle the general's war horse to the east city gate, but used the flying spell, and came to the east gate under the tower in an instant.
The East City Gate was not far from where Yang Li was just now. When he stood under the city gate, he felt that there was a fierce battle on the tower, and the familiar and dangerous aura was spreading everywhere above the tower.
Yang Li speculated that he might be wearing monkeys, and after abandoning them, he came to the East City Gate. If that's the case, then their speed is truly astonishing.
Of course, it is not excluded that the enemy army sent two forces of piercing monkeys to flank the city in an attempt to break through the city gates on both sides of the city at the same time, and then welcome their Terran troops in.
Such a plan cannot be regarded as comprehensive, but the enemy commander has missed one person after thousands of calculations, and that is Yang Li. And this guy went to serve Lan Yi's imperial order, and came to the former enemy to contact Tang General, what a paradoxical whole incident.
Yang Li thinks that if he wants to fully cooperate with the enemy, then he must show his muscles, otherwise, I am afraid that the other party will open his mouth, and even be unwilling to help Lan Yi eliminate the power of the prince.
Therefore, Yang Li had to make a name for himself in the Sword Pavilion in both public and private, so as to fight for the last trace of vitality for the royal family, and finally lay a solid foundation for him to successfully obtain the five-color map.
General Lan, the guard of the Sword Pavilion, led more than 1,000 of his subordinates at this moment, and was fighting with the demon beasts on the head of the city, but the pitiful thing is that except for a few of their generals who have some cultivation, those ordinary soldiers are like tofu, as long as they are next to or touched by the other party's monkeys, they will either be killed or injured, and the screams are endless!
Those defenders who were originally stationed here were even more defeated, and there were not many of them left, if it weren't for General Lan and General Zhong's troops to come in time, I'm afraid that the city would have been breached by someone at this time, of course, it should have been broken by the monkey group!
Yang Lina's first experience of fighting with the piercing monkeys felt that their speed was very fast, so he stood quietly at the bottom of the city tower, leaned out his strong divine sense, and counted the number of piercing monkeys at the head of the city one by one, feeling that it was only forty or fifty, but on the mountain outside the city gate, it seemed that there were three strong piercing monkeys.
Whether in terms of volume or momentum, these three big guys can be called the existence of the leader level in the Monkey Piercing.
In the fierce battle between Yang Li and them in the city tower on the left just now, Yang Li seemed to vaguely sense their existence, but these three-headed monsters never showed their true colors, so when the monkey team withdrew, Yang Li did not rashly pursue, because he was not sure what these three guys were here for?
But at this time, since he had already discovered the exact location of the other party's squatting, Yang Li would not show mercy any longer.
I remember that when he was still in the stage of contemplation cultivator, he was already able to kill sixth-level demon beasts such as the Phantom Sea Demon King, and now that he has become a high-level monk at the level of Xiangyun Master, it is impossible to look at these unpopular monkeys in his eyes, even the three monkey kings who are hiding in the depths of the dense forest and dare not enter the face are only the appearance of third-level demon beasts, and this kind of demon beast is probably the most suitable for barbecue.
Yang Li shouted at the bottom of the city tower: "General Lan, don't panic, I, Yang Li, have arrived!" His original intention was to give General Lan and them some confidence to resist, so he roared like this first, and then he summoned the other three phantoms of himself, and led them directly towards the most hidden Monkey King, hoping to be able to let go of the three Yuan and the three Monkey Kings, so that the enemy army would no longer have the strength to organize and attack the Sword Pavilion!
And at this time, the general had already led more than 1,500 of his subordinates to arrive, only to see Yang Li's figure finally disappear in front of his eyes again, and then disappeared in place.
The general was also very annoyed, could it be that he just came to see the back of others, the previous time he was not prepared, but it was fine, and the next time he was in front of him, and suddenly saw that people disappeared in place, but he couldn't sense it.
It turned out that people didn't care about him in general, and if they were serious, his head would have been cut off a hundred times, and he wouldn't have known it! When I thought of this, I touched my neck, a little glad and a little regretful.
However, General Lan heard that someone was shouting at the bottom of the city tower, and thought that his troops had rushed to help, but he didn't notice for a long time that he had provoked the city tower, and he and General Zhong were a little confused.
Where are the good reinforcements? Are the gates tight in all directions? Or now, although I heard a person shouting loudly below, I didn't see half a figure coming up!
Yang Li originally wanted to stabilize General Lan and their resistance, but he didn't want his own roar to make them suspicious, but fortunately, the troops led by the general had arrived one after another.
His vanguard, a troop of twenty or thirty cavalry, had come to the bottom of his eastern gatehouse. But because of the tragic scene of the battle with the monkey just now, none of these guys, including the generals, went down the stairs to the castle tower very neatly.
The infantry who were left behind were moving forward slowly, obviously the "old residents" in the Sword Pavilion, but some soldiers deliberately turned a direction and walked towards the front door, they would rather go to the front gate tower to help, rather than go to the east gate tower to feed the demon beasts.
If Yang Li had stayed here, he would have been unable to laugh or cry, because there was a strange scene in front of him: on the steps of the city tower, Jiang Guan and dozens of his subordinates hesitantly climbed the stairs, and their slow state was like a snail!
Of course, the generals knew that their main general was fighting bloodily above, but they all knew how many catties and taels they were, and if they went up, they were just sent to death, and he had already seen Yang Li come here, although the master shook his figure and didn't know where to go, but he must have come here to help, so their hearts were put down, and after Yang Li succeeded, they rushed up and showed their faces.
Yang Li's three phantoms, when they were grinding, had already quietly guarded a demon king. The Demon King's sense of smell was originally very sensitive, and besides, they were monkey demon kings with a certain amount of cultivation, but unfortunately, what they encountered tonight was Yang Li's phantom.
How could they exude an aura when they were not corporeal?, so these demon kings still had round blue eyes, and they watched the battle above the city tower for a moment, maybe in just a few moments, their men would be able to seize the city gate tower, and then open the city gate below, welcoming the Terran troops into the city smoothly.
But I don't know where a team of centaurs came from, and their plans were disrupted, but although these centaurs were numerous, there were thousands of people, but their skills were generally inferior, so most of them have now died in the hands of their subordinate monkeys
Because some monkeys are greedy for human brains, the war between humans and monkeys has been delayed.
One of the three monkey kings, the leader, couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks, he wanted to shout immediately, influencing his subordinates to attack quickly, and then open the city gate, they would be all right, you must know that there is a powerful cultivator in the city gate of Fangcai, after they retreat from that side, they may rush over and volunteer here.
But before he could shout his last command, a pair of large iron pincer-like hands had already grabbed its throat, making him feel that he could not breathe well, and then the monkey king felt that his body had been lifted, and then his neck was quickly tilted to the left, and then he knew nothing.
At the same time, the necks of the other two Monkey Kings were also torn, and Yang Li quietly came to the Monkey King's corpse at this time, and then picked up their corpses one by one and threw them on the city tower at will.
The body of the Monkey King is larger than that of ordinary monkeys, and the movement that naturally falls on the city gate tower is larger, but even so, the monkeys and the human race in the fierce battle have no intention of stopping, and they are still fighting to the death with the opponent by inertia.
