175 Chapter 173: Zombies
[Chapter 173 - Zombie] Why the hell can you stand up again
Probably because he was indeed a little anxious these days, after returning to the cabin, Chu Yuan was forced to take a hot bath, and then lay down on the bed, sleepiness hit him continuously, and he fell asleep after a while.
Duan Baiyue accompanied him for a while, and seeing that he seemed to be asleep, he lightly exited the door, waved the people from the Southwest Mansion and Duan Yao to protect him here, and got off the boat to find Ye Jin by himself. As a result, as soon as he arrived at the beach, he saw Shen Qianfeng tearing down the roof.
"I really can't, otherwise it stinks." Zhang Mingrui's face was pale, and he was angry.
Duan Baiyue said: "If you can't persevere, I can go to Tongye Gu to give a lecture." ”
"No, no, no." Zhang Mingrui shook his head again and again, "The opportunity is rare, and no matter how big the difficulty is, it must be on." As he spoke, he covered his mouth with a cloth towel and hurried over again. Duan Baiyue shook her head with a smile, and also went over to see what was going on.
When the roof was lifted, the smell in the house dissipated a lot. Duan Baiyue said, "Why don't you carry it out?" ”
"Until we find out what it is, it's better to be hidden." Ye Jin said, "The officers and soldiers around me have all been sent away by me, and if there is anything boring, it will not spread with the wind." ”
"Is that now clear?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Ye Jin used a small tweezer to pinch out a thin nematode from the top of the corpse's head.
Duan Baiyue frowned: "Zombies? ”
"Hmm." Ye Jin nodded, "This is a refining failure, and the Gu worm will not understand it if it is dead, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Looking at the color of the remaining skin on the palm, eighty percent of the body was originally poisonous, but unfortunately it has been soaked in the sea for too long, and it is impossible to see who it is. ”
Zhang Mingrui stood aside, his face full of worship.
"Burn it." Ye Jin said, "It's useless." ”
Shen Qianfeng lit a fire and burned the corpse clean.
Early the next morning, Chu Yuan opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the people around him: "How is it?" ”
"And when you asked last night, you slept quite soundly." Duan Baiyue covered his forehead with his palm and explained the matter in general.
"It's not much different from what we had guessed." Chu Yuan said, "Since so many corpses have been pulled out to sea, it can't be for the ancestors to build a tomb for worship, and it is the most reasonable explanation to use it to refine the army." ”
Duan Baiyue laughed: "I'm poor in my mouth, it seems that I will have to be more restrained in front of you in the future." ”
"Just tell the truth." Chu Yuan pushed away the quilt and sat up, "What's going on outside?" ”
"The army has been fully assembled, and it will go to sea in half an hour." Duan Baiyue said, "If you are too lazy to move, you can lie down for a while." ”
Chu Yuan shook his head: "Let's go, let's go outside and have a look." ”
"Be careful!" Someone outside exclaimed.
An iron spear about a foot long pierced through the door panel and nailed straight into the ship's post.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Nanmo's evil spirit was scattered, and he didn't care about anything else, so he pushed the door open and rushed in.
"What are you doing?" Duan Baiyue held him up and glanced outside.
"It's okay." Nanmo Xie breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay.
Chu Yuan stood beside the bed and said suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
Nanmo Evil: "......"
In fact, the matter is very simple, when I got up this morning, the old man was studying the batch of ghost wooden boxes that he had made, and after Nan Mo Xie saw it, he also went to join in the fun, but one accidentally touched the mechanism and shot out the hidden weapon inside.
Duan Baiyue: "......"
Nan Moxie lowered his head, stood honestly in front of his apprentice, and said, "The teacher knows that he is wrong. ”
"It doesn't matter." Chu Yuan put on his robe, "It's just a mistake, seniors don't have to blame themselves." ”
Nanmo said, "Yes. "It's better to be the daughter-in-law of an apprentice.
Duan Baiyue patted him on the shoulder, and his brain hurt.
"This little box is amazing." Chu Yuan took it from Nan Moxie's hand, "Not to mention the power, after shooting through the three of them, you can still spin around by yourself, and a single kill is a large piece." ”
"So vicious?" Nanmo was frightened.
"That's why I've been having a headache, how to deal with it when I encounter it on the battlefield in the future." Chu Yuan sighed, "Although the number of Great Chu Ghost Wooden Boxes is several times that of the rebels, once this thing is opened, there will inevitably be casualties, and even if it can win, it will be a heavy casualty." ”
Nan Moxie listened to it and bared his teeth, and said that he was the master of the carpenter, and he taught my little apprentice how to make tables, chairs, benches, pots, lids, and buckets, but he turned out to be behind closed doors.
"Your Majesty." Xue Huaiyue said at the door, "It's time to go on the expedition." ”
"Let's go." Duan Baiyue took the ghost wooden box from his hand, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, so many battles have been won, and this one can also be won." ”
Chu Yuan took a deep breath, stood up and held his hand: "Hmm." ”
Nan Mo Xie and Sixi rolled their sleeves together, smiled and watched the two go out side by side, relaxed and happy.
Unlike a few years ago, the sea around Xingzhou is no longer dark blue, but has an eerie gray black. Even the sky above the island was a little foggy, and the whole area seemed to be covered by a large flowing black cloud, and it was depressing to look at it.
A big phoenix spread its wings and circled, flying high into the sky with Duan Baiyue, rushing towards the direction of the Xingzhou Island Group. However, even though it was directly above, there was a black and gray fog below, and I couldn't see anything. The other two phoenixes tumbled from the low altitude, and the wind brought by the huge wings dispersed the dense fog for a moment, but before Duan Baiyue could see it clearly, there was a thicker fog condensed and adhered to it, and it was more tightly covered.
"Let's go back first." Duan Baiyue patted its neck.
The big phoenix let out a long roar of displeasure, turned around and flew back to the direction of the Chu army's camp.
"How?" Chu Yuan asked.
"I can't see what it is, the fog is too heavy." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "But it doesn't look like there is a fleet on the sea, I don't know what kind of hell I'm trying to do this time." ”
"Your Majesty." Xue Huaiyue said on the side, "What is the next step?" "Originally, I planned to find out the situation on the island before making a decision. But now that it's a mess, it's all the more important to be careful.
Chu Yuan asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
Xue Huaiyue was stunned for a moment, raised his head slightly and glanced at Chu Yuan, but quickly lowered his head again: "The last general is dull, please ask the emperor to make it clear." ”
Chu Yuan smiled, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, I am really asking you, but I don't mean anything else." ”
Xue Huaiyue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he knew Chu Yuan's temper, and this sentence was reassuring, so he said: "Although the situation on the island is unknown, it may be dangerous to break in rashly. But staying here is also a good strategy, the prince said before that Xingzhou has already started to farm and raise pigs by himself, and there are several living water sources, even if we completely fence this island, we can't cut off the other party's grain and grass, so we can only fight. ”
Chu Yuan nodded: "How to fight?" ”
Xue Huaiyue said: "According to the opinion of the last general, it is better to send three thousand fishtail troops to take the lead, if you encounter an abnormal situation, you don't have to break through, you can quickly withdraw first." ”
Chu Yuan laughed: "This is the last battle, you have to withdraw from the first encounter?" ”
Zhuo Yunhe listened to it directly, this general is also real, why don't you say anything to boost the morale of the army.
Xue Huaiyue paused, but still insisted: "The last general thinks that he doesn't know the details of the other party, so he doesn't have to fight hard." Moreover, the Fishtail Army was originally used for pathfinding, and the rowing speed was extremely fast, but it was not good at fighting. After the fishtail army, you can also lay down 5,000 Xuanyi guards to ambush, if the other party chases, there are ghost wooden boxes and swords at a distance, and there are mines at a distance, so that our army's casualties will be minimized. ”
Zhang Mingrui was listening, and asked the old military doctor next to him in a low voice: "Why can't you just let Xuan Yiwei go to explore the way?" ”
Before the old military doctor could speak, Ye Jin said: "Xuanyi Wei is the most sophisticated team, the ship is equipped with a large number of hidden weapons, and the paddling speed is not fast, so it is too overkill to let them explore the way." ”
Zhang Mingrui was still puzzled, his brows furrowed and he didn't dare to ask, since Xuanyiwei was originally going to fight, what is the difference between letting the Fishtail Army attract and fight again, and directly facing it?
The old military doctor secretly pinched him and signaled not to say much, until Ye Jin left, and there was no one around, so he said in a low voice: "The situation you said is only one kind, and there is another kind, if the enemy army encountered in front is too powerful, whoever hits the head will be sent to death, so naturally the fishtail army must go up first, and if they can't escape, they will block it with their lives, so as to buy more time for the army behind." ”
Zhang Mingrui seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and stammered and asked: "Isn't there half a chance that the fishtail army will go and have no return?" ”
The old military doctor stood up straight: "Look at those fishtail soldiers, are you half unwilling on your face?" ”
Zhang Mingrui shook his head.
"It's all human, who doesn't want to live." The old military doctor said, "Feasible military combat is like this, someone has to pave the way with blood." Your role and I are to make this blood flow less, and to snatch one from Hades. ”
Zhang Mingrui said: "I understand." ”
The old medic coughed twice and continued to go back to the cabin to sort out the medicine packets. The Fishtail Army has already sailed away, Zhang Mingrui glanced at it, and also turned around to help, he felt that he was not afraid of death before, but now that he thinks about it, if he is the Fishtail Army, he is afraid that he will not be able to go to it so generously, and he will inevitably feel guilty in his heart, and secretly hope that he will encounter a bunch of straw bales of enemy troops, and it is best that the Great Chu soldiers can return with a big victory without any casualties.
"This battle is under your command." Chu Yuan said.
Xue Huaiyue was a little surprised: "Your Majesty? ”
"I have been pressed all the way, everything has to be played, I am afraid that you have long been aggrieved." Chu Yuan said, "This last battle is very important, I listen to you, everyone listens to you." ”
Xue Huaiyue froze: "Yes." ”
"Go ahead." Chu Yuan said, "Fight a beautiful battle and show those people in the court who don't obey you how completely wrong they were at the beginning." ”
"Emperor Xie!" Xue Huaiyue clenched his fists, turned around and strode onto the platform.
Duan Baiyue asked, "Let it go?" ”
Chu Yuan smiled: "He was good at everything before, but he loved soldiers like a son too much, so he was a little indecisive, but along the way, the problem has almost changed, and there will be no problem with this battle handed over to him." ”
"So do you want to go back to sleep?" Duan Baiyue teased him.
Chu Yuan kicked him, led people to the lookout, and watched from a distance as the three thousand fishtail troops drove the boat, disappearing and disappearing in the vast black fog, and moved forward quickly.
"Brother." After a while, Duan Yao passed by and wondered, "Sister-in-law is above, what are you doing standing here alone?" ”
"Do you recognize this worm?" Duan Baiyue opened the box.
Duan Yao glanced at it: "It's all dead, it's not the worm that Lord Ye Gu pulled out of that corpse, he has already looked for me once, but he doesn't recognize what it is." ”
"I don't even recognize Master." Duan Baiyue said, "Then the only way to catch a zombie next time and come back and take a live look at what it is." ”
While the two were talking, a horn sounded in front of them, which was a signal for the Fishtail Army to quickly retreat.
"Good." Sikong Rui also followed the fishtail army to join in the fun, and after seeing the situation in front of him, he was angry. On the sea ahead, hundreds of pitch-black topless coffins floated neatly, each of which seemed to be lying on the ground.
The big black bird passed by from a low altitude, and finally stopped motionless in mid-air, looking a little weird. Sikong Rui rubbed his eyes, and only then did he see that a large ship had stopped in the mist, and the mast was towering into the sky, and it was still on the sea like a sculpture.
The fishtail army quickly retreated to the rear of the Xuanyi guard, and Zhuo Yunhe said loudly: "Throw the car ready!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Wu Sanlei couldn't wait, where was the wooden frame still needed, he directly grabbed the mine with both hands, lit the fuse and threw it in the air, exploded in the coffin group, washed countless corpses into the air, and fell back into the water with a straight crackle.
"Damn." Sikong Rui exclaimed, "Can this stand up again?" ”
A pitch-black hand clings to a broken wooden plank, and its stiff feet are pulled out of the water, and in the blink of an eye, the corpses that have fallen into the water stand upright on the plank, and the cold light in their hands flashes, it is the ghost wooden box.
The old man watched from afar, his palms almost sweating. This is his heart disease, if Da Chu loses because of this, then he can only apologize with death, but even so, he can't get back the names of hundreds of young people, and it will be difficult to go to the underworld.
It was rare that Nan Mo Xie did not quarrel with him again, but said: "Don't worry, you can't lose." ”
"Stop!" Zhuo Yunhe yelled at Wu Sanlei loudly, turned around and said, "Use the ghost wooden box!" ”
Wu Sanlei was taken aback and hurriedly put back the mine in his hand. Xuanyi Wei also changed a group of people, and after the ghost wood box mechanism was opened, hundreds of bows and crossbows with cold light shot out and passed through the chests of those zombies.
Duan Baiyue frowned, those zombies seemed to be alive when they encountered water, and now the distance was too close, the mines could not be used, they could only use swords and ghost wooden boxes, but the other party did not feel any pain, but Chu Jun was a living person, if he kept being so hard, he would lose.
