Chapter 55: The Defeat of the Army
Liang Kun and Lin Shen were stationed outside the city with the army, and they found an excuse to enter the city, wanting to inform Dong Yun of everything that happened last night. The two walked for a long time, but they didn't find any trace of Dong Yun, so they had to go back to the camp first.
Since Zhang Jue repelled the puppets, there has been no puppet sneak attack near the army, and it has been rumored in the army that Mr. Zhang's methods are all over the sky, and the living dead no longer dare to come.
Three days later, 20,000 troops arrived in Xuancheng as scheduled, so that Xuancheng gathered 30,000 troops, and only waited for Duan Fei to give an order, and then set off for Lincheng.
Duan Fei and Zhang Jue discussed for a while, and after preparing to let the reinforcements of the 20,000 sergeants rest for the night, they would set off the next day. Dong Yun saw that another army had entered the city, he was even more worried, Zhang Jue had gathered a large number of sergeants, and he must have a plan. He has been paying attention to the puppets for the past few days, and found that these puppets have neither come out nor retreated, they have been hiding near Xuancheng, are they also waiting. The army gathered tonight, and Dong Yun believed that Zhang Jue would definitely make a move, so he kept hiding nearby.
Yuji, Pang Tuo, Yu Si, and Yu Wu also came to the puppet assembly site at this moment, Yuji was seriously injured and had not yet recovered, his face was a little pale, he looked at the puppets around, and said indifferently to several people around him: "Deploy tonight, there is no room for mistakes, you guys prepare again, and set off in an hour." ”
Everyone agreed, and Pang Tuo pulled Yu Si and asked, "Are you really sure that you can eat these 30,000 people at once?" ”
Yu Si remained silent, looked at Yu Ji's back, and replied, "The elder has his own arrangements. ”
Zhang Jue did not go out of the camp this time, and the last time he went out of the camp in advance and connected with Yu San, he was almost discovered by Duan Fei, but fortunately, after he used his methods, everyone had a lot of trust in him. He closed his eyes and waited silently in the tent.
Outside the tent, several groups of sergeants were constantly patrolling in case of enemy attacks. Yuji and the others had gradually marched towards Duan Fei's camp. There was a sneak attack before, the sergeants on patrol were extra careful, a team of sergeants were about to return to the camp to change shifts, and suddenly found that a group of figures appeared in front of them, two bold sergeants took a few steps forward, vaguely saw that it was the living dead, and immediately wanted to shout, but Yu Sifei came over, grabbed the throats of the two with both hands, and as soon as they used force, the two of them immediately lost their breath. Seeing that his companion was killed, the rest of the people behind him shouted: "The living dead, the living dead are coming, the enemy is attacking!" Enemy attack! ”
Hearing someone shouting outside the tent, Zhang Jue slowly opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and flew out of the tent.
Duan Fei also heard the sergeant's shout at the same time, he strode out of the camp tent with his knife, and saw that Zhang Jue had come out of the camp, he calmed down a little in his heart, and ordered the sergeants to line up, and this battle must defeat these living dead. Although the sergeants were full of confidence in Zhang Jue, they still had lingering fears in the face of these living dead, and after lining up, they kept in front of the camp tent, not daring to take the initiative to fight and kill. Liang Kun and Lin Shen stood not far away, both of them clenched their blades, waiting for the arrival of the fight.
Dong Yun watched the puppets approaching the camp step by step, he had always wondered, the puppets were less than a thousand people, although they were quite powerful, but the army of Dongyue was as many as 30,000, what kind of evil art could the Jiuli clan have to defeat these 30,000 troops.
Under the command of Yu San and Shi Jin, the blood curse puppet slowly approached the camp, and Yuji and several people followed behind the puppet, and their whole body began to condense their strength, ready to strike at any time.
Duan Fei waited for the puppet to approach the gate of the tent and shouted at the sergeants, "Kill it!" ”
This sound was quite imposing, Zhang Jue took the lead in jumping out, the sergeants were shocked, and waved their blades towards the puppets to kill, the puppets blocked the gate, although the sergeants were numerous, they couldn't open the formation for a while, and the two sides fought at the gate. Zhang Jue rushed forward and threw out black gas to knock down many puppets, but the puppets fell to the ground and immediately got up, and the sergeants and puppets strangled together, suffering heavy casualties. Zhang Jue's body moved, came to Duan Fei's side and said, "Put it in, surround it and kill it!" ”
When Duan Fei heard Zhang Jue's words, he immediately ordered the sergeants to withdraw a section, introduce the puppets into the camp, surround them and fight again.
The sergeants were ordered to retreat, and the puppets poured into the camp and scattered the attacking sergeants. Dong Yun sneaked into the barracks and casually took a sergeant's coat from the camp tent and draped it on his body. He quickly looked for Liang Kun and Lin Shen. At this moment, the two of them were leading their sergeants to gradually surround the puppet.
The puppets were scattered and surrounded by the sergeants, but the sergeants could not hurt the puppets much when they slashed and slashed, so they could only surround and stalemate.
Zhang Jue had been beside Duan Fei all the time, and when Duan Fei saw the stalemate between the sergeants and the puppets at this moment, he gradually felt that something was wrong, and asked Zhang Jue: "Mr. Zhang, how are these living dead going to be killed?" Zhang Jue smiled slightly, and suddenly stared at Duan Fei's eyes, Duan Fei suddenly felt that he couldn't move, and tried his best to speak, but Zhang Jue flew out of his sleeve extremely secretly and a bloody corpse order flew into his body. Duan Fei only felt dizzy for a while, the whole person was groggy, and he raised his palm numbly, and slashed at Zhang Jue with one palm.
Zhang Jue didn't dodge, and ate Duan Fei's palm hard. The surrounding sergeants were extremely surprised when they saw Duan Fei flying out with one palm. Immediately after, Zhang Jue got up from the ground, and everyone looked at Duan Fei again.
Duan Fei's whole body was covered with a cloud of blood-red corpse qi, slowly rising, this scene made the surrounding sergeants extremely panicked, before everyone could react, Duan Fei roared hoarsely, and the bodies of the puppets who rushed into the camp tent suddenly exploded, and a burst of black blood rain exploded around them, and for a while, nearly seven hundred puppets in the entire camp exploded one after another, and a bloody rain was really rolled up. After the sergeants surrounding the puppet were stained with black blood, their skin instantly rotted, and they fell to the ground and rolled in extreme pain, almost half of the sergeants fell to the ground, and the screams were deafening, and within a few moments, a large number of the sergeants who fell to the ground passed out.
Zhang Jue shouted at the sergeants: "Everyone get out of the way, be careful of the black blood." The sergeants who were not contaminated with black blood heard Zhang Jue's reminder and approached him one after another. Zhang Jue panted and said: "I didn't expect that Duan Fei was actually a demon, and he was tricked, so we quickly withdrew to Xuancheng." ”
As the puppets exploded, Yu San and Shi Jin, who were not far away, were also violently shocked, and the two of them collapsed to the ground in an instant, and Yu Si, Pang Tuo, and Yu Wu came up to support the two. But the two of them were breathing weaker, and Yu Si looked at Yu Ji, who was expressionless and kept staring at the camp tent in the distance. Yu Si knew that this must have been discussed between Yu Ji and Zhang Jue, and they abandoned Yu San and Shi Jin in order to defeat the Dongyue army.
Dong Yun really saw Zhang Jue's movements, and knew that Duan Fei was controlled by him, so he dodged the black blood extremely quickly and walked quickly towards Liang Kun and Lin Shen. But the puppet surrounded by the two of them had exploded, and at this moment, Liang Kun and Lin Shen were also stained with black blood, lying on the ground, no longer moving. Dong Yun was resentful, his hand was full of energy, and he moved closer to Zhang Jue. Before he came to Zhang Jue's side, Zhang Jue found him, waved his hand, and commanded the sergeant to go up and kill this person quickly. The sergeant gate was headed by Zhang Jue at the moment, and several sergeants swung their swords and killed Dong Yun.
Dong Yun waved his palm and slapped the two of them away, wanting to catch up again. An even more terrifying scene happened.
After Duan Fei detonated the puppet, he slowly stretched out his hands in mid-air and squeezed it violently. The sergeants who had been corrupted to death by black blood suddenly stood up one by one. The sergeants who had not yet had time to retreat were staring wide-eyed, unable to believe what was happening in front of them. Duan Fei roared again, and the sergeant who was stained with black blood suddenly took a step forward and rushed towards Zhang Jue and the others.
Zhang Jue hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Go, go quickly, go to the city." ”
When the sergeants heard Zhang Jue's reminder, they ran away, and the crowd fled one after another, running towards Xuancheng.
Dong Yun finally understood that Jiu Li was relying on this evil and vicious means to deal with the 30,000 army, he glanced at Liang Kun and Lin Shen, who had been controlled by Duan Fei, and his heart was dripping blood. Take a look at Duan Fei again, it's a pity that this General Xuanwei has become a tool for Jiuli to commit murder in the end. The sergeant stained with black blood kept rushing over, and he had no choice but to turn and leave.
Zhang Jue did not forget Dong Yun, but at this moment he did not have time to deal with him, many of the remaining sergeants were caught up by their companions stained with black blood and fought again, Zhang Jue shot out from time to time, saved a lot of people, and everyone finally withdrew into Xuancheng, and Duan Fei and those sergeants who had become puppets contaminated with black blood gathered outside the city, faintly besieging the city.
Yu Ji came to the puppet array alone, he glanced at Duan Fei, whose eyes were cloudy and dull at the moment, smiled coldly, and then disappeared without a trace. Tonight's scene was not only extremely shocking to the East Vietnamese sergeants, but even Yu Si, Pang Tuo, and Yu Wu were also extremely surprised. After the explosion of the 700 puppets, the black blood controlled more than half of the East Vietnamese soldiers, and these people seemed to be dead rather than alive, and they had become an extremely terrifying force. The three of them were surprised by the two core elders' methods, but they were also very panicked in their hearts, and then looked at Yu San and Shi Jin, who were no longer breathing. Yuji's vicious scheming made the three of them shudder.
Dong Yun also fled into Xuancheng in the chaos, and he sat on a street corner. His friends in the army were controlled into puppets, and Zhang Jue, a demon, wiped out most of the Dongyue sergeants in one battle, and controlled these sergeants into puppet killing tools, which he really couldn't imagine. The scene of the explosion of the blood curse puppet just now and the soldier who slowly stood up after being stained with black blood kept coming to mind. His hands trembled and he pinched his knees hard.
Zhang Jue counted the sergeants who returned to the city overnight, 30,000 troops, and there were less than 10,000 left, he was secretly happy in his heart, but his expression was very painful, and he immediately ordered a few sergeants to go back to Jianye, and inform the military department and His Majesty of the situation in Xuancheng. He decided to stay in Xuancheng and resist the enemy army. Zhang Jue's move won the hearts of the people, and the surrounding sergeants were glad to have Mr. Zhang, otherwise the whole army would have been wiped out today.
After dawn, the besieging puppets slowly withdrew, and everyone did not dare to be careless, and the sergeants took turns to guard the city walls. Zhang Jue stayed on the city wall all night, and many sergeants and some officials of Xuancheng came to persuade him to pay attention to his body and go down to rest for a while. Zhang Jue glanced at the withdrawn Duan Fei and the puppet, and said secretly in his heart, it's up to you next, Yuji.
Yuji was not far away, and as the puppets retreated, their next stop was not Lincheng, but Le'an, the target of the Jinfan Army.
