Chapter 40: Reinforcements

At the northernmost end of the battlefield, in front of the high platform and big tent, Xiong Qiji was very anxious, looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him, the yellow sand was soaked in blood, the corpses were all over the ground, and the dead horses broke the flag, and his heart shuddered. Although it was already the winter solstice, Xiong abandoned the cold sweat wipes, and he hoped that the Shenhuo soldiers would quickly end the war and march smoothly into Yingdu.

And at the southern end of the battlefield, also in front of the high platform tent, Gongzi sat leisurely on a tiger skin couch, with a tiger-eating beast lying on each side. He admired everything in front of him, although the corpse beast soldiers were constantly killed and wounded, but in his eyes, there were not enough people dead on the battlefield, and the battle was not fierce enough. He sneered: "The battle will be more violent, and the more people who die, the better."

Suddenly, Gongzi saw that there were fewer and fewer divine fire soldiers guarding around the northern tent, and they were trapped by corpse beast pawns and could not escape, while some of the corpse beast pawns were already approaching the commander of the Chinese army, and Xiong Qiji was like being isolated and helpless on an isolated island. "This is a great opportunity, as long as you catch me, Uncle Wang, the others will fall apart and be defeated, so there is no need to worry." Thinking of this, Childe laughed proudly.

Gongzi immediately waved his hand and ordered the remaining 30,000 corpse beasts to attack the Gaotai Big Tent in the north, and directly take the Xiong Qiji under the banner of Xu.

Xiong Qiji also saw the movement of the corpse beast pawn on the high platform, he was a little frightened, but he was not flustered. Xiong Qiji used to be a cadre under King Chu Ling, leading troops to fight, conquering cities, and being omnipotent immediately after stepping down. He understands the importance of being the commander of the whole army, and if the commander does not panic, the morale of the army will not be chaotic.

Xiong Qiji immediately ordered a defense, and the four emperors led three hundred divine fire soldiers to guard the four directions of the high platform of the Chinese army in order to stop the corpse beast pawns. Leave a hundred divine firefighters as personal guards in case of accidents.

Fei Wuji also discovered the movement of the corpse beast pawn, and immediately understood that it was moving in the direction of Xiong Qiji, the commander of the Chinese army. He said in his heart: It's not good, the lord is in danger. I wanted to withdraw to save it, but I was entangled by the Tibetan food tiger and was weak. At this time, he involuntarily looked in the direction of the city, and there was no sound there.

Not long after, 30,000 corpse beast guards had already rushed to the front of the high platform tent where Xiong Qiji was. The high platform is built with a huge log, the bottom is square, each side is ten zhang long, twenty zhang high, the top is tiled with a three-inch thick wooden plank, the middle is a big tent built with dark red linen, and the top of the big tent is hung with a three-zhang high flag. Ninety-nine steps are built in front of the platform, connecting the upper and lower levels.

30,000 corpse beasts surrounded the high platform, like a lonely boat floating in the sea, showing its insignificance. The corpse beast pawns were layered on top of each other, like sunflower petals, surging forward, and in the meantime, from time to time, the fallen corpse beast pawns were trampled into corpse mud.

The 1,000 Divine Flames guarding the Great Tent saw that the corpse beast pawn was fierce, so they did not engage the corpse beast pawn in short combat, and kept shooting with the divine rocket. The corpse beast pawn who climbed the high platform kept falling down with arrows, and the corpse beast pawn behind continued to climb up, and so on, without stopping. The corpse beast pawn who did not climb up returned fire with a continuous crossbow, and the arrows and crossbows reciprocated, like flying locusts. In a short time, the high platform was full of crossbow arrows, and in between, the corpses of corpse beasts and divine fire soldiers were scattered.

Due to the large number of corpse beast pawns, it was not long before they fought with the Divine Fire soldiers guarding the high platform. The space around the big tent at the top of the high platform was narrow, and only a small number of corpse beast pawns rushed to the front, and some climbed up along the side wall of the high platform. Seeing that the situation was critical, the four emperors commanded the Divine Fire soldiers to resist in all directions, shooting the corpse beasts who climbed the wall.

The sky was dark, the clouds were overwhelming, the night was falling, and the early winter showers came unexpectedly, both cold and cold. The most uncomfortable thing is the alliance of the various clans, fighting fiercely with the corpse beasts for a whole day, scarred, hungry not to mention, in addition to the protruding winter rain, falling on the body, after a while a thin layer of ice will be formed, it can really be said that hunger and cold are combined, danger is everywhere, life is better than death. They silently thought in their hearts that this war would end soon.

The Divine Fire Soldier is brave and good at fighting, brave and invincible, although there is a Divine Fire armor to protect the body, but when it encounters the ice and rain in early winter, it is also extremely unfavorable to the power of the Divine Fire, and its skill is gradually lost a lot.

The corpse beast pawn is ruthless, desireless, and insensitive, but it can stimulate combat effectiveness more in a harsh environment. Therefore, the corpse beast pawns are getting stronger and stronger the more they fight, and the Shenhuo soldiers and the clan alliance are gradually losing the upper hand.

The high platform and the big tent could not be attacked for a long time, so the corpse beast pawn used a big axe to cut the pillar of the high platform, and within a few cuts, he was shot by the divine fire soldiers. The corpse beast pawn was burned with fire, and the four emperors noticed this abnormal movement, and commanded the Divine Fire Soldiers to shoot the corpse beast pawns around the pillars of the high platform in a hoarse voice: "Shoot that way, shoot this way, stop them from burning the high platform." Seeing the corpse beast guards with torches approaching in all directions, the four of them jumped down with their blades and stopped the corpse beast pawns. However, the high platform was still set on fire.

Everything in front of him, the son of the enemy saw it in his eyes. He was waiting, waiting for the man who killed him to appear. At the head of the city, Zhan Wuxian also watched everything in front of him, and he seemed to be waiting, waiting for Gongzi to strike at the enemy, waiting for the point where he needed to turn the tide appeared.

The battle continued, shouts of killing, and wails were endless. Seeing that the night was about to pass, Gongzi couldn't wait any longer to strike the enemy, he didn't expect that the defenders of Caicheng would be so tenacious. He once boasted in front of his father that he could take Caicheng and capture Xiong Qiqi alive in one day. Seeing that Zhu Xia was faintly dazzling in the darkness in the east, the sky was about to get brighter, and Xiong Qiji was still standing there well, it seemed that only by taking action could he solve it.

I saw that Gongzi jumped on a huge tiger-eating beast, and rushed towards Xiong Qi at a high speed. Zhan Wuxian saw the abnormal movement of the son to strike the enemy, and knew that he had to make a move. Xiong Qiji's high platform tent is far away from the head of Caicheng City, ten miles away. Seeing that the boy's strike was about to reach the front of Xiong Qiji, Zhan Wuxian touched the cloth bag and was overjoyed. I saw him shake his hand, and a red bean flew out, and then Zhan Wuxian used the escape technique to fly in front of the red bean. As soon as Zhan Wuxian's figure appeared, the red bean immediately turned into a red-clothed phantom warrior, and lifted Zhan Wuxian's feet forward. Zhan Wuxian took advantage of this support and sent out another red bean, and at the same time used the escape technique to fly in front of the red bean. This went back and forth three times, and Zhan Wuxian used the Phantom Martial Arts to escape three consecutive attacks, and instantly flew to the front of Xiong Qiji. But it was still half a step late, and the boy had already flown to the sky above Xiong Qiji, and he stretched out his hand to grab it down. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Zhan Wuxian pulled out the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword in mid-air, risking the risk of potentially injuring Xiong Qiji, and with a swing of the sword, an emerald green sword light flew over Xiong Qiji's head. Seeing that a sword qi was flying, Gongzi urgently retracted his palm and jumped upwards for several feet. Hearing only a muffled sound of "fluttering", Xiong Qiqi lay on the ground and fell more than a foot away. The tiger eater had been split in two, and its body had fallen beside Xiong Qiji.

Xiong Qiji was brought down by Zhan Wuxian's sword qi, he opened his eyes, and saw the tiger eater that had been split into two pieces, he was taken aback, and then immediately rolled and got up, and saw that there was not even a figure around him.

Before Xiong Qiji could calm down, he felt the palm wind on the top of his head, and when he looked up, the son leaned over the enemy like lightning. Xiong Qiji was just about to shout in fear, suddenly felt his body sink, and involuntarily retreated a few steps, and then the figure in front of him flickered, and he heard a loud noise, only to see Gongzi strike the enemy on top, Zhan Wuxian below, and the two palms together. Xiong Qiji saw that one of Zhan Wuxian's feet had sunk into the plank, and then he heard the squeak of the high platform, overturned outward, and fell. Zhan Wuxian kicked Gongzi with one foot to defeat the enemy, retreated him, and then used the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword to force Gongzi to strike back a few steps, turned around and lifted the bear abandonment belt, and flew off the high platform. Immediately after that, there was a loud bang on the high platform, which collapsed to the ground, stirring up the blue smoke of Mars in the sky.

As soon as Zhan Wuxian landed, Childe's strike appeared not far in front of him. Zhan Wuxin said: "The son killed the enemy and came back to life, and his skills have also improved a lot. Childe said in the same heart: "Zhan Wuxian is still so strong, it seems that it will take some twists and turns to catch Xiong Qiqi alive, and it is inevitable to have another battle with this person." ”

Childe saw Xiong Qiji behind Zhan Wuxian, his body flickered, and he arrived in an instant, and he grabbed it. Zhan Wuxian pulled out his left foot to kick the Quchi acupoint of the childe to defeat the enemy, and the son hit the enemy on Zhan Wuxian's foot, and then the two of them each retreated two or three feet away, leaving deep footprints on the ground.

Gongzi looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Zhan Wuxian, you have done good things to me several times, I won't worry about you today, and I will settle accounts with you in the future." This time is our own family affair in the state of Chu, so you don't have to interfere. ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "Of course I'm not in the mood to take care of your family affairs, but if you want to kill someone, I have to take care of it." ”

"I'll just take him." Gongzi pointed at Xiong Qiji: "Uncle Wang, my father wants to see you." ”

Xiong Qi said: "When he saw me, he didn't want to kill me with his own hands. ”

"Uncle Wang, you are wrong. The father said that you are brothers, and if there is anything to discuss, why bother to meet each other. As long as you know that you are wrong, your father will not kill you. Uncle, don't you know your father's feelings for you? He gave you both Chen and Cai, are you still not satisfied? ”

"Don't you know what your father's temper is? I turned against him, and if I go I will surely die. ”

"Then you knew why you had to rebel today?"

"If I don't rebel, others will rebel."

"So you're not going?"

"It's already done, what's the use of regretting? I won't ......."

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed, and the enemy had already flown forward, stretching out his right hand to catch the bear. At this moment, Childe's right wrist was held by Zhan Wuxian's left hand. Seeing this, Childe stretched out his left hand to point at Zhan Wuxian's left arm Qu Chi acupoint, and Zhan Wuxian stretched out his right palm to block it. The two of them passed five or six rounds in an instant, and there was no winner or loser.

Gongzi said angrily: "Zhan Wuxian is a dog with a mouse, nosy, you said that you don't care about our family affairs, why do you do it again?" ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "If you arrest him back, he will die, and I will take care of this." Besides, I remember that you have been killed by me, how did you come back to life, is it a corpse? I don't believe it. I'd like to see if you're a real boy or a fake boy. ”

"Strong words, knowingly asking. Today, let's make a break. ”

"Just what I want."

The two slapped each other again, jumping out of the circle, each had already tested the strength of the other party, and neither was sure of victory.

Zhan Wuxian thought to himself: How can he kill the enemy, he is a person with an infinite cycle of lifeforms. The enemy also muttered: Zhan Wuxi's skills are profound, and it seems that he can't be killed without a trick.

Just watch the enemy take out an iron rod that looks like a stick instead of a stick, like a sword but not a sword, and has rust all over his body, and then silently recites in his mouth, his arms suddenly stretch out, and five corpse shields come out of his body, which is obviously different from when he was defending the country. These five corpse shields have been able to move freely from the body of the childe, and the limbs can be stretched and stretched, and the eyes have appeared on the head, which is completely different from the corpse shield that was like a silkworm chrysalis before, and can be called a corpse shield man.

Zhan Wuxian was quite surprised and did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He took out five red beans and threw them out, turning into five red-clothed phantom warriors, lined up in front of him, and at the same time pulled out the seven-star Longyuan sword to defend against the enemy.

The two of them didn't bother to talk anymore. First, he commanded the corpse shield man and the phantom warrior to fight together, and then Gongzi defeated the enemy and Zhan Wuxian fought hand-to-hand. If you talk about the strength of the two, they are between the two. In the Patriotic Confucian Mansion, Zhan Wuxian was able to kill Gongzi and defeat the enemy, there was a certain amount of luck, and it was also Zhan Wuxian who was able to act at the opportunity and flexibly use tricks, plus Gongzi was able to defeat the enemy at that time, so he was killed by the invincible Seven-Star Longyuan Sword.

Zhan Wuxian also thinks the same, and he uses 12 points of skill as soon as he makes a move to deal with it with all his might. I heard a loud bang, and the iron rod in the hands of the seven-star dragon sword and the son of the enemy collided together, emitting dazzling sparks and clanging loud noises. To Zhan Wuxi's astonishment, the rusty iron rod in the hand of the prince was undamaged, and it was able to resist the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword. Zhan Wuxian suddenly remembered that his master once said that there is a sword between heaven and earth, which is thick on the outside and beautiful on the inside, and it is infinitely powerful, and it is called Chixiao. If ordinary people get it, it will be like a rusty iron rod, which is hard but of no use. If his master gets it, it will turn into a sword, as cold as frost and snow, and the cold light is overwhelming. Zhan Wuxian said: Could it be that the son is in the hands of the enemy, the Chixiao Sword? He did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he tried his best to fight with all his might.

By this time, the ice and rain had stopped, and the east was whitening. The battlefield was littered with corpses, rivers of blood flowed, and the earth turned red. The Divine Fire Soldiers are still struggling to support, they are already tired, and if there are no reinforcements at this time, the coalition army will be wiped out, and fear will fill everyone's hearts, and they will no longer know why they are fighting.

Xiong Qiji hid in a corner of the battlefield, his eyes glazed. He was thinking to himself, whether it was right or wrong to raise troops against his brother this time, and whether it was worth it for the sake of the throne. What's more, he has two older brothers, even if he succeeds, can he get his turn. Looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him, with blood under his feet, Xiong Qiqi was at a loss, sometimes regretful and sometimes unwilling in his heart. The fear of defeat and the desire for power continue to fight, just like the fierce battle of the prince beside him, no one can defeat anyone.

Xiong Qiji gradually became numb to the battle in front of him, and turned a deaf ear, he drew his sword, trying to cut it all, and the blade of the sword slowly rested on his neck. Suddenly, on the western hills, facing the morning sun, white light flashed, more and more, flashing in front of Xiong Qiji's eyes. At this moment, Xiong Qiji's whole body trembled, desire instantly overcame fear, he smiled on his face, and slowly laughed wildly: "The rescuers are coming, the rescuers are coming......"

Zhan Wuxian and Gongzi were shocked by Xiong Qiji's laughter and shouting, and involuntarily looked towards the west. I saw that the shaking white light was getting bigger and bigger, longer and longer, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of light, from far to near, and the roar gradually rose.

"The people of the Qin country are here, and the Jinshi is here!" There was a cheer and roar in the battlefield. As a result, the spirit of the Divine Fire Soldiers and the allied forces of various clans was greatly boosted, and their combat power increased.

I saw a hundred miles of thunder running at the forefront, full of wind and clouds, as fast as lightning. Behind him, Chang Xingjun, Gongzi Xiong Jian, Yang Shuye and others each rode a white horse to follow, and then behind were the 10,000 debuting Jinshi. All of them were made of golden armor, all of them were white gold armor, their heads were as white as snow, their crotch was a white war horse, a white bridle, and they all held short swords and long swords, roaring. Looking from afar, it is like a dragon going out to sea, and the mercury is pouring into the ground, covering the western slopes.

Seeing this, a group of corpse beast soldiers besieging the Divine Fire Soldier moved around one after another, their movements were extremely neat, and they were unanimous to the outside, preparing to meet the Spirits.

In the shouting and killing, in the blink of an eye, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the front of the corpse beast pawn was instantly defeated by the Devil Jinshi, like a silver snatch, inserted into the corpse flesh. Childe defeated the enemy and saw with his afterglow that the bravery of the Warrior did not lose to the Divine Fire Soldier at all. The corpse beast pawns were able to withstand the onslaught of the Warriors, all because of their numbers. At this time, Gongzi couldn't help but be a little anxious when he defeated the enemy, and he said in his heart: The advantage of the corpse beast pawn is slowly eroding, and the Zhan Wuxian in front of him is extremely difficult to deal with, and he can't get out. The top priority is to catch the bear abandonment first, even if the corpse beast pawn is completely wiped out, it is worth it.

In the battle between Childe and Zhan Wuxi, he kept observing the form on the battlefield, and he found that the Rujin Shi was slowly surrounding the corpse beast pawn, seeing that the situation was going to fight with the divine fire soldier in the middle inside and outside, and eliminate the corpse beast pawn in one fell swoop.

At this time, Childe's right wrist tightened, and then when he was kicked in the chest, his body flew up unconsciously, and he fell heavily to the ground. It turned out that when Childe was observing the situation on the battlefield, there were occasional flaws in his moves, and he was caught by Zhan Wuxian, and a sword slashed to Childe's right wrist, and then kicked him in the chest.

At this time, Zhan Wuxian was nine zhang away from Gongzi's strike, and Gongzi was nine zhang away from Xiong Qiji, and Xiong Qiji was nine zhang away from Zhan Wuxian, and the position of the three of them just formed a triangle. Among the three, one wants to arrest someone, one wants to save someone, and the other wants to protect himself. The son was injured in the enemy, his skills were reduced, and his speed was not as good as before; When Zhan Wuxian fought for a long time, although he was not injured, his skills were also lost a lot, and he needed to recover; Xiong abandoned the disease after this night, and he was even more hungry, his teeth were sore and sad, and it was difficult to walk. The three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, stayed where they were, and remained motionless, listening to the sound of shouting and killing on the battlefield, and each thought about what to do next.

On the battlefield, the corpse beast pawn was already in prison, only to see that the outer circle of white was getting tighter and tighter, the middle of the red was wider and wider, and the black between the two colors was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing this scene, Xiong Qiji laughed and said, "Strike the enemy, the corpse beast is about to die, and you still don't surrender?" ”

Gongzi repelled the enemy and said: "As long as I am here, you don't want to be the king of Chu." ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "Son's strike the enemy, just arrest it." ”

Xiong Qiji also said: "Look at what else you are capable of." ”

Childe dismissed the enemy and said: "Uncle, don't underestimate the enemy." Zhan Wuxian, since you are more concerned with our Xiong's family affairs, let you see the true strength of our Xiong's family, you don't regret it. ”

Xiong Qiji was immediately startled, he didn't know what Gongzi was going to do when he defeated the enemy, but an ominous premonition came to him, and Xiong Qiji's body began to tremble involuntarily.
