Chapter 236: Caught off guard
"Ha, ha, ha! yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm really an elm head, I always look ahead and forget to look behind, or Brother Xue is resourceful. It seems that I still follow the moon with the stars, talk less and do more things, and by the way, I will get some light from Brother Xue. ”
Wang Chong looked at Xue Gui with a smirk, and looked up coldly, as if something was rushing towards him.
Although Wang Chong's mind is simple, his kung fu should not be underestimated, he instantly sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, knowing that the speed of the coming object was extremely fast, he had no way to avoid it, so he could only bow his head suddenly, roll down from the horse, fall on his back and face the sky, and be lucky to escape.
Xue Gui was shocked when he saw this, he knew that Wang Chong was a simple-minded rough man, but in terms of force, Wang Chong was by no means under him.
Seeing Wang Chong's inexplicable fall from his horse, it really frightened Xue Gui and the soldiers around him.
"General Wang, are you alright?" Xue Gui exclaimed.
Wang Chong's feet were forced, a carp stiffened, stood up from the ground, he clenched the sword at his waist, and suddenly remembered that the deputy marshal had said that the demons here are not afraid of swords, he snatched the torch from the hands of the soldiers, looked around cautiously and fearfully, and confirmed that there was no danger, so he buckled the saddle with his feet, jumped up, and returned to the horse.
Wang Chong looked left and right, but didn't find anything unusual, maybe he was too suspicious, it was just the wind just now, so he blinked and said to Xue Gui: "Brother Xue, just now...... It seems to be ...... just now Hey, it's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking. ”
"You, you're either grinning, or nervous, I really can't help you, what should I say about you?" Xue Gui smiled helplessly.
"What's going on?" Huang Chao's voice came from afar, and it seemed that he was aware of it.
"It's okay, a false alarm, the deputy marshal and relaxed. Xue Gui responded.
"Be careful and don't be negligent. ”
"Don't worry, we can keep an eye on it...... Wang Chong's voice didn't fall, and suddenly something hit him in the back, he only felt that his chest was hot, and he couldn't help but a mouthful of blood, sprayed on Xue Gui's armor, and the whole person fell off the horse in an instant.
Xue Gui was shocked, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and came to help the injured Wang Chong.
Wang Chong coughed a few times, vomited a little blood, and then reluctantly sat up, looking at the extent of his injury, whether it was light or not, whether it was serious or not.
"I'm fine, leave me alone, let everyone be on guard, I think it must be the demon. ”
"What's wrong?" said Huang Chao's voice in the distance.
"General Wang Chong vomited blood!" suddenly shouted in the darkness, not knowing who it was.
This sentence immediately caused an uproar, and the soldiers all trembled when they heard it, for fear of encountering something unclean.
Huang Chaoyue stepped forward immediately, wanting to rush to see Wang Chong's injury, but there was no time for him to be distracted at the moment, and one after another black shadows fell from the sky, appearing among the soldiers in an orderly manner.
Huang Chao tightened the reins of his horse and shouted, "Attack, attack...... If the sword is useless, they attack with firearms. Fire is their nemesis, and they dare not come near with torches, trap them with a fire net, and burn these lonely ghosts to death, so that they can be revealed in their true form. ”
None of the soldiers dared to slack off, and quickly launched an offensive according to the drill, and all kinds of firearms were immediately put into battle, and the black shadows floating in the night sky were forced to dodge left and right, obviously at a disadvantage.
In less than a stick of incense, the Vulcan Army of the Yellow Nest had the upper hand, and the black shadows fleeing in all directions gradually dissipated in the raging flames.
Suddenly, something came out of the ground and grabbed the soldier's legs firmly. It was a hand, a rotting hand, a stinking hand, a human hand.
One after another, corpses burst out of the ground, stenching, decaying corpses that staggered towards the soldiers.
Not only is the number of black shadows increasing, but the number of corrupt corpses is also accumulating. Shadows are not invincible, and neither are dead bodies.
The fire net trapped it firmly, and one by one it turned to ashes in the flames. Tribulus terrestris flew in the air, and the rumble of the flame kettle exploding continued to sound. The smoke from the flames choked the soldiers and coughed.
Black shadows and corpses are constantly being destroyed, but more will continue to emerge, but whether it is a fire net or a fire thistle, the number is limited, and the flame pestle in the soldier's hand and the soldier's own life will also be burned and sacrificed.
They cannot be resurrected when they die in battle, and they cannot be replaced when their firearms are burned out. Shadows and corpses came one after the other, far exceeding their expectations, and these monsters were far more numerous than the Vulcan Army of the Yellow Nest.
Seeing that the battle was taking a turn for the worse, the rebel soldiers suffered numerous casualties. In order to avoid repeating the mistake of the annihilation of the entire army, Huang Chao had to order all the soldiers to fight and retreat, try to evacuate the cemetery as soon as possible, and control the casualties and losses to a minimum, so as to wait for the long-term discussion in the future.
Huang Chao's idea is very good, but everything can be as good as it should be. Not only do they have to deal with the shadows, but they also have to deal with the hideous living dead, and those monsters are one in the sky and one in the ground, which is really unbearable.
In addition, whether it is a dead corpse or a black shadow, all of them are the masters who can't finish fighting, and the problem is even more sinister.
Huang Chao asked Xue Gui to protect Wang Chong and retreat first, and Huang Chao himself was responsible for breaking the rear. The rest of the generals rushed to the Yellow Nest, eager to join him and meet the enemy together.
Li Shun and Geng Qing's rear team changed into the front team, preparing to rush out of a bloody road, so that the soldiers could retreat smoothly, they let the soldiers hold the flame pestle high, neatly lined up in two columns, so that the black shadows and dead corpses did not dare to approach rashly, and built a convenient passage for retreat.
But who would have thought that at the moment when Li Shun and Geng Qing led their troops and were about to rush out of the cemetery, a dazzling bright light suddenly appeared.
The snatching of the light swept by, and Li Shun was already in a different place, and his life was killed on the spot. Li Shunsu heard about the nominal army with a lightning attack, but he didn't expect that before he could see what was going on, he had already lost his head and fell off his horse with a heavy body.
Geng Qing and Li Shunma are titled ponytails, this scene is really real, everything came so suddenly, it is too incredible.
Geng Qing had the intention to dismount and collect Li Shun's body, but he thought that he could not protect himself, and he had to take the lead in fighting a bloody road for his brothers to ensure that the army could retreat smoothly.
Now is not a time to be sad, let alone a time of grief, but a time of life and death, he can only watch like this, watching his comrades-in-arms who have been fighting side by side for many years, just like this, but he can only turn a deaf ear.
Geng Qing jumped over Li Shun's corpse and led his soldiers to continue to rush forward, he kept urging his soldiers to speed up and open up a retreat path as soon as possible, not to be endlessly entangled with demons and evils.
Finally, Geng Qing led the remnants of the soldiers who lost their armor and fought a way out to escape from the cemetery.
However, the other soldiers after Geng Qing did not seem to be so lucky. Jiang Chao and Zhang He retreated along Geng Qing's back road, but unexpectedly, a four-eyed monster suddenly appeared in the darkness.
