The fighting continued until 7 a.m. before it subsided.

The Dayu army lost more than 13,000 people in the battle, and nearly half of them died under the knife of the great tooth star power. Fortunately, the saint struck in time to kill him, otherwise if he was allowed to slash a few more times, the number of battle losses would definitely increase exponentially.

Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa were injured lightly or not, and they each had one or two serious knife wounds, although they were not fatal, but they were invaded by the power of the stars, and they were in a coma until noon before they woke up one after another. The two and other wounded soldiers were left in Jincheng, and the large army was already marching south without stopping after a short period of repair.

"Wake up. How do you feel, is there anything uncomfortable?" Seeing Zhang Xiaopaw wake up with his eyes open, Zhou Jianlai, who had been guarding the two of them, asked.

He did not leave with the army, but chose to stay and take care of Zhang Xiaopu and Niu Dawa, because the assassination incident in Baiyun City made him feel at ease, and he was afraid that someone would take this opportunity to poison the two.

"It's fine. Zhang Xiaopaw sat up with his body propped up, glanced around, and found that it was a room, with bedding on the ground, and he and Niu Dawa were lying on it, Niu Dawa had not woken up yet, recalling the scene before the coma last night, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and asked Zhou Jianlai: "Brother Zhou, how long have I been in a coma with Dawa? Where is this?"

Zhou Jian replied: "You have been in a coma for more than three hours, and this is an empty house on a street in Jincheng. The street was cleaned up and used as a temporary shelter for wounded soldiers. The army had already gone south, and had been on its way for two hours. ”

"Damn, have you slept for so long?" Niu Dawa's voice sounded next to him, and he also woke up.

"You two's injuries aren't serious, I've bandaged your wounds, and they should be almost healed by now. The reason why I was in a coma for so long was because I was invaded by the power of the stars, and it was very slow to dissolve. Count the two of you as big as your fate, if you are hit by that knife, I am afraid that you will already be more than lucky. Zhou Jian said.

Thinking back to the knife last night, both of them couldn't help but shudder, and their hearts palpitated. It's just that he was swept away by the aftermath of the sword qi, and he was injured and unconscious for more than three hours.

This devastated their hearts for a while.

They thought that they already had some ability, who would have thought that in front of the power of the stars, they would be so weak that they could not even be ants. Thousands of steps away, Xingchen slashed at them with a single sword, and with only the residual power of the sword, they were beaten to the ground, and their armor was abandoned, which made them feel a deep sense of frustration and powerlessness.

"What about the power of the stars?" Zhang Xiaopaw asked curiously.

"The saint struck and killed him. Zhou Jian replied and told the two of them about the scene at that time: "The golden light of divine majesty illuminated the night sky, and a flying sword came from outside the sky, as if it came from the ancient wilderness, and in an instant, it came to the front of him, and a sword pierced the head of the star's power, and then disappeared into the void. ”

"Under the saints, they are all ants, and they are vulnerable!" Zhou Jian said with deep emotion after speaking.

"Damn! Miss a great show!" Niu Dawa cried out in annoyance.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Zhang Xiaopaw also shook his head in regret.

Zhou Jianlai said with a solemn expression: "What follows is a tough battle that will not last until the death, and I am afraid that the star power of the big tooth will strike again, so we have to be very careful." ”

The three men set off immediately after filling their stomachs, and caught up with the large force at 3 p.m.

The million-strong army of the Great Tooth was ahead, and the army did not dare to advance recklessly, so they slowed down their march. At the same time, a large number of scouts were dispatched, and the reconnaissance area fanned forward for thirty miles.

...... When night falls, the earth returns to tranquility.

However, for Jincheng and Haoyue City, there is not much difference between day and night, both are dead silence.

Cities, states, prefectures, and counties were all swept and slaughtered by the big tooth dogs, and became dead cities with no living people.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, most of the more than 2,000 wounded soldiers who remained in Jincheng had already slept, and the 500-man squad responsible for protecting the wounded soldiers, except for those who were standing guard and on duty, had also fallen asleep.

No one noticed that in this dead city, figures were quietly coming out of the houses and houses. Two, three, ten, hundred—more and more of them, until they finally gathered into a force of five or six thousand people.

Under the cover of night, several figures crept up on the sentry and appeared behind the guards like ghosts, slitting their throats with sharp daggers.

Without the sentry, there is no eye in the night.

Thousands of people crept into the streets, infiltrated the courtyards, silently crept into the rooms, and rioted.

Half an hour later, these five or six thousand people wore the armor of the Dayu army, and they also carried some armor from the Dayu army that died in the battle, and they disappeared into the night out of the south gate of Jincheng.

......

On June 16, the army entered the boundary of Yancheng.

Along the way, he surprisingly did not encounter the sneak attack and harassment of the Big Tooth Army.

On 17 June, the army arrived in Ezhou, Yancheng. did not continue to advance, but set up camp in Ezhou City, preparing to use Ezhou City as a rear base, so that it could be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Sixty miles ahead, Sichuan Prefecture is the base of the Daya Army.

It can be said that the army has reached the back of the big tooth army, and the distance of sixty miles is definitely not a safe distance, if the big tooth army gives up Yancheng and pounces over, the battle situation will be very tragic.

However, if the Big Tooth Army gave up Yancheng and counterattacked, then his plan to attack Yancheng this time would basically fail. Because attacking Yancheng requires the most vigorous efforts, once the middle is discouraged, all the efforts in front will be in vain.

......

Under the city of Yancheng, corpses were piled up, blood was flowing sideways, and the dry ground had been soaked with blood several feet deep.

In the ten cities in the north and the nine cities in the north, the two gates have been broken.

Shout to kill the heavens.

The frenzied offensive of the Big Tooth Army continued.

At the same time, the gates of the Ten Cities in the South, the Nine Cities in the South, the Eight Cities in the South, and the Three Cities were broken, and Wei Guangfu's million rebels were also attacking frantically.

Fortunately, there are many walls in Yancheng, otherwise Yancheng would have fallen long ago.

Qiu Zhan put the main force on the defense of the North City Gate, and only allocated 150,000 troops to defend against the rebel attack.

In Yancheng, inside the commander's tent, Qiu Zhan's face was haggard, and his sunken eyes were already covered with cobweb-like bloodshots, and he hadn't slept well for more than half a month. The armor on his body has not been taken off since the rebels attacked the city that day.

Night falls.

Listening to the shouting and killing that did not stop at all, Qiu Zhan smiled slightly bitterly, knowing that tonight was another sleepless night.

The double-sided attacks of the Big Tooth Army and the rebels, as well as the suicidal frenzied attack, made him feel the pressure. He was no longer sure how long Yancheng could hold out, maybe ten days, maybe half a month, in short, it wouldn't be too long.

A figure flashed into the tent.

"Who?!" Qiu Zhan said, grabbing the sword at his knee and staring at the black-scarfed masked man who broke in.

"On the orders of the King of Zhennan, convey the military information to the prince. The person who came lowered his voice and said, as he tore off the face towel on his face, looked at Qiu Zhan and said with a smile: "Boy, I haven't seen you for decades, and you have become a general." Not bad, not bad. ”

"De, Brother Deshun!" Qiu Zhan's eyes widened, his face showed a look of shock and surprise, and he stared at the visitor and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God, how, why did you come to Yancheng?!"

"I went out with the prince and was ordered to deliver a letter to your boy. The visitor replied with a smile.

The only person under the command of King Zhennan who can climb over the walls of Yancheng and sneak into the city during the battle of the army, and then quietly sneak into the commander's tent, is his old servant Wu Shun.

The person who came was Wood Shun.

"Is the prince in charge of the expedition?!" Qiu Zhan asked in shock.

"Hehe, the prince is as majestic as he was back then, leading the army to take Haoyue City and Jincheng one after another, and now he is encamped in Ezhou, Yanbei, and has put on the ass of a big-toothed dog. Wood said.

"Okay! great!" Qiu Zhan jumped up happily when he heard this, and the reinforcements he had been waiting for finally came, and asked, "I don't know what the prince commands?"

"Attack back and forth, destroy the big tooth dog!"

"The Big Tooth Dog still has a million troops, and it may not be easy to eat it in one bite. Qiu Zhan frowned.

"Fighting a war is never easy. Wood said.

"Okay, just fuck his mother! The soldiers in the south have never been cowardly. Wait for Lao Tzu to clean up the big tooth dog, turn his head and fight the rebels again. Qiu Zhan swung his fist hard and made a decision.

"As soon as Sichuan Prefecture is broken, we will send you a signal, and you must hold back the enemy's siege troops at that time, so that they cannot have a chance to counterattack us. Also, you have to be very careful to watch out for the last madness of the Big Tooth Dog. ”

"Understood!"

"You are a general, how to cooperate with us, you must know better than me in your heart, I won't do stupid things like laymen pointing insiders. That line, the message came, and I left. ”

"When the big tooth dog is killed, I will invite my eldest brother to have a good drink. Qiu Zhan said with a smile.

"It's a word!" said Wood, who put on his scarf and dodged out of the tent and disappeared into the night.

The streets and alleys of the North Eight Cities are full of people, and the wails are endless.

A plague is spreading in the city, and the infected people will itch at first, then the skin will begin to turn dark purple, and then the pores of the body will slowly grow red hairs, and the person will become paralyzed, have difficulty breathing, and after three to five days, the internal organs will fail and die. If the corpse is not destroyed in time, it will become a soulless red-haired monster, and it will pounce on and bite people when they see it.

The plague had been in the city for ten days, and now thousands of people were dying every day.

Qi Wuwei knew that this was not a plague, this was corpse poison.

He also knew that there was a person who could cure the corpse, but he didn't know where this person was now, whether he was alive or dead, and he couldn't be found at all.

The people of the Medicine King Valley have been researching the poison to detoxify the corpse, but there has been no progress in the past ten days.

"My lord!" Qu Kai hurriedly broke into Qi Wuwei's study, startling Qi Wuwei, who was pinching his eyebrows in sorrow.

"What's the matter, have the people of the Medicine King Valley developed a medicine to detoxify the corpse?" Qi Wuwei asked expectantly as he looked at Qu Kai who had broken in.

It's a pity that Qu Kai immediately poured a basin of cold water, shook his head and replied, "No." ”

"Then why are you in a hurry?" Qi Wuwei asked depressedly.

"The seven cities in the north, the six cities in the north, the seven cities in the south, and the six cities in the south all have corpse poison. ”

After listening to Qu Kai's report, Qi Wuwei felt dizzy in front of him, and felt like he had been beaten on the head a few times.
