Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Great War Comes

Zhan Wuxian went to various places in Caicheng to do other things, and all he saw along the way was the movement of soldiers and horses, the roar of chariots, and the high momentum of the soldiers. But from the eyes of the people in the city, there was endless hesitation, full of fear of the coming war.

It was already dusk when Zhan Wuxian finished his errands, and when he returned to his residence, he saw Mo Wuya walking to the door with Zhan Chi in his arms. The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhan Wuxian took two steps closely, reached out to wipe the beads of sweat on Mo Wuya's forehead, and helped her comb her somewhat messy hair.

"Li'er, hard work."

"It's not hard, you're hard."

"Are the kids arranged?"

"It's all arranged, it's in a tunnel near Duke Cai's mansion."

Zhan Wuxian agreed, looking up at the sky, it was already full of stars. He looked at Zhan Chi again, his little face was red like an autumn apple, and he was already asleep. He really hopes that without this war, he will spend more time with his wife and children and live a peaceful life.

Zhan Wuxian breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Cai Cheng's army has gone outside the city, I have to go to the city wall again to have a look, you and Chi'er go back to rest first." ”

Mo Wuya said: "No, you haven't rested for several days. If you don't go back, I won't go back, and I'll go with you wherever you go. ”

Zhan Wuxian shook his head helplessly: "I really can't help you, so I took Mo Wuya's hand and went back to the house." ”

Before dawn the next day, Zhan Wuxian got up alone and wanted to check on the city wall. When he passed by the city gate, he saw a crowd of people nearby, black and pressed, with weapons of different lengths in their hands. Zhan Wuxian hurried over, and when he saw it, it turned out to be Cai Cheng's two cadres, and the leader of them was the man who was beaten yesterday. When the man saw Zhan Wuxian coming, he first greeted him: "Mr. Zhan, I brought these people, and all of them are willing to follow you to defend the city." ”

"Why did you come so early?"

"Hehe...... they all got their senses, they were afraid of being left behind, and they all brought their own weapons."

"Good!" Zhan Wuxian said: "Follow me to the city wall." ”

Looking from under the city wall, in the near distance, the left, center and right armies are brightly lit and lined up. Especially the Chinese army, the formation is majestic and neat, and the lights are the brightest. The fire light emitted by the Divine Flame Soldier stained the surrounding earth even red, like blood spilled on the ground. There is a huge high platform in the middle of the Chinese army, like a small city tower, with a huge flag on it, and here is the command post of Xiong Qiji.

In the distance, the mountains are undulating and shining, merging with the morning stars on the horizon, and from time to time there are bursts of drums. The corpse beast pawns are getting closer.

Zhan Wuxian said silently: "Tomorrow will be an unusual day, you have to be careful." ”

At this time, Shi Gu came over: "Mr. Zhan, what are your orders?" ”

"These people are all Cai Cheng's people, and you know some of them. They'll be handed over to you. Zhan Wuxian said.

"Come, come with me, line up....."

Zhan Wuxian looked at them, there was a big battle tomorrow, and suddenly remembered Mo Wuya. When he returned to his residence, he saw that Mo Wuya was still asleep, as if he hadn't noticed that he had gone out. Zhan Wuxian was in a complicated mood and couldn't sleep, he looked out the window, the clouds covered the moon, the breeze gradually rose, and the lonely tree swayed. Zhan Wuxian came to the courtyard, and the city wall in the distance was extremely dark and very close, as if he could touch it with his hand. The soldiers on the city walls, newly recruited by him, are ordinary people, and when the corpse beasts attack the city, they will be the last barrier to protect their families. If it weren't for this war, they would be asleep.

Zhan Wuxian was full of thoughts, and suddenly remembered his senior brother Fei Wuji. He is now a celebrity in front of Cai Gong, and he is relied on by the heroes of various countries, and I really hope that his divine fire soldiers can repel the corpse beast pawns and make the common people sacrifice less. He thought of Wei Chong again, this man swallowed charcoal and disfigured, just to avenge the Lord, how loyal and admirable, but he only wanted revenge, but ignored the attack of the corpse beasts, what is this? However, the enemy he said was his senior brother Fei Wuji, who was confused and clueless about it.

Zhan Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't think about it anymore: It's a big deal to fight with Childe again. He turned around, and at some point Mo Wuya was already standing behind him, with an extra piece of clothing on his body, and Zhan Wuxian was unconscious. With Zhan Wuxian's skill, even a mosquito can be detected when it falls on his clothes, tonight, Zhan Wuxian's heart is too heavy.

Mo Wuya smiled slightly and comforted: "Are you thinking about the corpse beast pawn again?" ”

"How can I not think of it, how can I break the infinite circulation of lifeforms that defeat the enemy, I really can't think of any way."

"Everyone has weaknesses, and we will definitely find a way to crack the immortal body of Childe. I believe in you, shirt. ”

Zhan Wuxian held Mo Wuya's hand, and getting his wife's affirmation was his greatest gratification. The two of them entered the house, and Zhan Wuxian said: "Yesterday I saw a man in black, he swallowed charcoal and disfigured, claiming to be the general of the Kong family, saying that the senior brother killed Mr. Kong and wanted to kill the senior brother to avenge the Lord. I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know what to do. ”

"There comes a time when everything will fall into place, don't let this hold you back." Mo Wuya said: "Since you and I are not sleepy, why don't we have a drink?" ”

"Okay! It is advisable to drink alcohol and grow old with your son! Zhan Wuxian casually said a verse.

Mo Wuya smiled, took the wine, poured a glass of wine for each of them, and the two of them drank it all. Mo Wuya's intuition, the wine was slightly sour and salty, it turned out that Zhan Wuxian's sentence "Yiyan drinking, growing old with the son" made Mo Wuya extremely moved, she didn't say anything, she fully understood Zhan Wuxian's mind, this life can be with Zhan Wuxian, and die without regrets. So when Mo Wuya was drinking, tears involuntarily fell into the wine, mixed together, and drank it.

After three glasses of wine, Mo Wuya said, "I'll play a song for you." Since coming down the mountain, the two have been running all the way, and playing the piano and drinking are even more flawless. This morning, the clouds are faint and the stars are sparse, the war is imminent, no one sleeps, and a song is played to comfort the king's heart.

I only listen to the sound of the piano, sometimes melodious, sometimes sad, sometimes tactful, sometimes agitated, like the resolute face of a soldier before the battle, and like the wife hiding at home, the helpless eyes of a child. The sound of the piano floated in the air and drifted into the homes of the people in the city, and mothers, wives and children heard it, hoping that their sons and husbands would return home safely; The sound of the piano drifted to the city wall, and my father and brother heard it, and their resolute faces flashed with longing for their relatives; The sound of the piano drifted to the three armies outside the city, and they waited for it, hoping to return victoriously and return home for reunion.

Soon, the east saw white, the drums were approaching, and the corpse beast soldiers were already approaching the city. Zhan Wuxian pulled Mo Wuya to the city wall, and looked into the distance, only to see that the vanguard of the corpse beast pawn was already stationed not far from the city. Xiong Qiji's three armies were in a neat formation and were waiting for the battle.

From a distance, the vanguard of the corpse beast pawn was black, and it was also divided into three square teams, with a crowd of 10,000. Each of the corpse beasts held a long ge, pointed to the sky, and the long sword was like snow, like a forest of steel, and they moved slowly, like three huge hedgehogs. The corpse beast pawn walked in a strict and uniform manner, and each foot was lifted and stepped on at the same time, shaking the earth and trembling.

The three phalanxes kept moving forward, and with a stick of incense, they were only a stone's throw away from Xiong Qiji's phalanx, and the corpse beast pawn stopped. Seeing this, Xiong Qiji ordered "Beat the drum!" For a while, the sound of drums shook the sky, resounded through the sky, and was deafening, and every corner of Caicheng could be heard clearly. After the three drums, Hu Tu ordered the left army, Tian Yong ordered the friendly army, and Fei Wuji ordered the Chinese army to release arrows at the same time. I saw ten thousand arrows firing in unison, like flying locusts, raining down on the vanguard of the corpse beast pawns.

The corpse beast pawn faced the oncoming rain of arrows without fear. At the sound of an order, the corpse beast pawn continued to move forward, but much faster. When the rain of arrows flew, the corpse beast pawns were constantly shot and fell to the ground, some of them were not dead, they were still struggling on the ground, and they were trampled to death by the corpse beast pawns behind without climbing twice. In order to maintain the formation, even if the corpse beast pawn was shot and injured, as long as he could still walk, in order to save the corpse's life, he endured the pain and insisted on moving forward.

After the three arrows of the Xiongqi Coalition Army, the corpse beast soldiers suffered countless casualties, but the formation was not disrupted, and the two armies were closer. I only heard that the horn of the bull horn suddenly sounded in the corpse beast pawn array, and it soared into the sky. Then the formation of the corpse beast pawns changed, and out of it came out three rows of corpse beast pawns, each row of hundreds of people, holding a crossbow machine in their hands, aimed at the coalition forces and pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrows were like the wind, and they strafed over. After the first row of shots, the spacing of the corpse beast pawns was widened, and the second row behind them, the third row walked forward quickly, the original second row became the first row, and the original first row became the third row. The first row continued to shoot, the third row installed crossbow arrows, and the corpse beast pawns did not stop, so that the three rows kept changing back and forth, and the crossbow arrows continued to shoot. For a while, the situation changed, and the allied archers who only fought were powerless to fight back, and they were killed and wounded by crossbow arrows.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiong Qiji ordered the drummer to continue beating the drum, shouting: "The three armies are ready, rush, kill these corpse beast pawns." I saw the allied archers retreating, and thousands of chariots attacked at the same time, thousands of horses galloping, like tigers, taking advantage of the favorable terrain to rush towards the corpse beasts. Followed by tens of thousands of infantry, holding long and short swords, they specialize in killing the beasts that have slipped through the net.

Fei Wuji was eager to try, and he also wanted to lead his troops to attack. Xiong Qiji grabbed him: "Wait first." Fei Wuji immediately understood what he meant. Let the soldiers of each country test the combat power of the corpse beast soldiers before deciding on the next move. Also, the deeper meaning is that Xiong Qiji first let both sides lose and lose, and then the Shenhuo soldiers will attack, and when the time comes, they can destroy the corpse beast pawns, capture Yingdu, and sit on the throne of the king of Chu, and weaken the military strength of various countries, so that they can not compete with the Chu State for hegemony, and they can become the overlord again, so that these people dare not ask for benefits from themselves, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Xiong Qiji and Fei Wuji looked at the two sides, only to see that Hu Tu and Xian Ji led the left army, Tian Yong and Jiao Qiuxin led the right army, and Siyu led the royal family and some stragglers, and at the same time rushed into the phalanx of corpse beasts from three directions. After the roar of the run, suddenly, the horses neighed, and the soldiers wailed. The corpse beast's Changge penetrated the front chariot and horse, and the subsequent chariot ran over the front, and was immediately stopped by the dead corpses in the battlefield and fell to the ground. The soldiers jumped out of their chariots, swords and swords, and scuffled with the corpse beasts.

fox slaughter, first killing; Tian Yong, Jiao Qiuxin; The four royal families each made a gap in the phalanx of the corpse beast pawn, and the infantry cavalry soldiers who followed rushed into the corpse beast pawn's phalanx together, and the men and horses on both sides were completely mixed together, and the corpse beast pawn's phalanx was also rushed and collapsed.

However, after all, the coalition army is flesh and blood, and the combat power of the corpse beast pawn is obviously stronger than that of the coalition forces of various countries, although the phalanx of the corpse beast pawn has been broken through, when the one-on-one battle is killed, the strength of the corpse beast pawn is revealed, and the casualties of the coalition forces of various countries are gradually increasing, and people continue to fall, their heads are broken and fractured, and their hands and feet are scattered. It was only under the hard work of the masters of Fox Tu, Tian Yong, and the Four Emperors that they barely reached a draw with the corpse beast pawns.

From sunrise to sunset, the sky turned blood-red. The remnant sun shines obliquely, the yellow sand is soaked in blood, and the dead are piled up. Blood, reflected on everyone's body, face, eyes.

On the huge platform in front of the big tent, stood Xiong Qiji and Fei Wuji, looking at the battlefield in front of them, their eyebrows tightly locked, their faces expressionless, but a kind of fear and madness loomed.

The breeze came slowly, mixed with the smell of blood, slapping the faces of the two, and at the same time, there was also the insulting sound of Fox Tu: Fei Wuji, you turtle grandson, you haven't sent troops yet, haven't you seen Lao Tzu's people about to run out? Fei Wuji smiled slightly, looked at Xiong Qiji, and waited for the order. Xiong Qiji still looked at the battlefield in the distance, motionless, only hearing the sound of the wind blowing the clothes belt. At this time, there was another shouting and scolding from the fox in the air: Hack your ......, Fei Wuji, your grandma, and don't send troops. The voice was so weak and weak.

Fei Wuji still looked at Xiong Qiji, and Xiong Qiji still looked at the battlefield in the distance. I saw the fox Tu standing on the pile of dead corpses like a mountain, scolding and jumping at the Xingyuan flag. More than half of the dead and wounded on both sides have already been killed.

Xiong Qiji's expressionless face twitched, and he smiled slightly: "It's time, let's go!" ”

Fei Wuji pulled out the Chengying Sword and pointed to the battlefield: "Rush!" ”

I saw five thousand divine firefighters, like arrows off the string, and like meteors falling, rushing into the battlefield. When he saw the corpse beast pawn, he slashed and slashed his sword, just like chopping melons and vegetables. The tide of the battlefield turned in an instant. The soldiers of all countries were also excited, and the battle was much braver, and two or three people fought together against a corpse beast soldier, and also killed a lot.

Since the Divine Flame Soldiers joined the battle array, in less than half an hour, there were not many corpse beast soldiers left who had been killed. A few of them escaped and were killed by a single arrow from the Divine Rocket.

The eyebrow moon loomed, the sky was dark, the ghost fire on the ground flickered, the spear was broken, the dead horse broke the flag, and it was desolate. Counting the men and horses, four or five out of ten of the coalition soldiers were killed and wounded, but none of the Shenhuo soldiers were injured. This is exactly what Xiong Qiji wants.

In the big tent of the Chinese army. Fox Tu Jian pointed at Fei Wuji and scolded: "Fei Wuji, you bastard, why didn't you send troops for a long time." Tian Yong and the others also glared angrily, seeing what Fei Wuji had to say. Fei Wuji sat at the table and drank wine and ate meat as if he hadn't heard. Seeing this, Fox Tu was even more furious, and with a sword eliminated the wine lord in Fei Wuji's hand, the tip of the sword was only an inch away from his throat. Fei Wuji still didn't move, and continued to drink with that half of the wine.

Seeing this, Xiong Qiji hurriedly said: "Sir, Brother Fei's delay in sending troops is because I believe that the soldiers of the Fox Clan are the bravest warriors in the world, and they are enough to deal with the phalanx of corpse beast soldiers. ”

Xiong Qiji looked around at everyone with sharp eyes, not angry and arrogant, and said: "If you are still entangled in this matter, it is to admit that the soldiers of your various clans are not strong enough to defeat the corpse beast pawns, and the Haikou that you boasted in front of me before is deceiving me, if so, you will not be able to get the benefits you want from me." ”

Sure enough, after listening to this, Fox Tu lowered his head and was silent.

Tian Yong said: "Having said that, but Fei Wuji is in charge of the Divine Fire Soldiers, and he should also charge and kill the enemy with my clans, and destroy all the corpses and beasts as soon as possible, and should not hide behind as a shrinking turtle, isn't it ......" What is the conspiracy behind Tian Yong did not say, but everyone here can also understand it. Tian Yong continued: "We are all in the same boat, we should be in the same boat, otherwise when will we be able to attack Yingdu, and how can Cai Gong become the king of Chu?" ”

Xiong Qiji laughed: "What Mr. said is extremely true, our troops this time are all about crusade, justice is on our side, it is for the princes to coexist peacefully, not to fight each other, and to respect the royal family." As for who should be the king of Chu, he should also follow the weekly etiquette, first grow up and then young, I just contribute to my two brothers, do you say yes, haha...... "Although Xiong Qiji's words are conclusive, everyone present has their own ghosts, and no one believes it.

Xiong Qiji continued: "The reason why Mr. Fei did not attack with you is because this corpse beast army is only the vanguard of Childe's defeat of the enemy, and the Divine Fire Soldiers are covering you, so as not to be surrounded by Childe's enemy and annihilated. ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and talked about it. After this battle, most people have truly understood the fierceness and strength of the corpse beast pawns, which is really not easy to deal with. Nearly half of the soldiers of each clan have been killed and wounded in the battle with the vanguard of the corpse beast pawns, and they have to face the main force of the corpse beast pawns, I don't know what the result will be, Qunhao didn't dare to think about it anymore, and their faces showed a look of worry and retreat. I want to leave, but I am unwilling, I want to stay, and I am afraid. At this time, the only hope can be placed on the Divine Fire Soldiers. At this point, Qunhao no longer cared about the fact that the Divine Fire Soldiers did not attack in time to help, but faintly avoided an inexplicable sustenance and reliance.

Xiong Qiji obviously saw through everyone's thoughts, and said: "According to the scout report, the main force of Gongzi's strike will arrive in Caicheng in a few days. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the ground shake and the tent shook. Immediately afterwards, a scout hurriedly ran into the big tent and knelt down to report: "Report, a large number of corpse beasts have appeared thirty miles away." ”

"How many?"

"I don't know, it looks like there are 100,000 people."

"Ahh The scout lay in a pool of blood.

I saw that the long sword in Xiong Qiji's hand was dripping blood: "Nonsense, messing with the hearts of our army, I don't know if there are 100,000." ”

For the first time, Qunhao saw the gentle Xiong Qiqi killing people, and heard that there were 100,000 corpse beast pawns, so he couldn't help but gasp and be shocked. Xiong Qiji also said secretly: "One hundred thousand, how to deal with it." He involuntarily moved his gaze to Fei Wuji, and found that everyone present was also looking at Fei Wuji. I saw Fei Wuji's lips move slightly, and he was also shocked in his heart, and said secretly: Come so fast, I believe that the Tibetan Tiger is also among them. Childe's strike at the enemy was so swift that it was obviously beyond Fei Wuji's expectations. And thinking of the Tibetan Tiger, the heart of revenge rises again, and I wish they would come early.

Seeing that Fei Wuji didn't speak, everyone looked at Xiong Qiji, and Hu Tu and the others said in unison: "Cai Gong, how do we deal with it, if you say something, we will do it." Xiong Qiji also had no idea at this time, 100,000 corpse beast pawns, which greatly exceeded his imagination and psychological endurance, what he was thinking about now was not whether he could defeat the prince and the corpse beast pawns, but regretted that he should not have raised troops against his brother and fought to be the king of Chu and the king of Chu. Compared to his own life, nothing else is nothing.

Xiong Qiji heard someone ask him, so he came back to his senses, and his spirit was still a little trance: "This matter is all handled by Mr. Fei." ”

Everyone looked at Fei Wuji again. Fei Wuji slowly stood up and said, "There are Divine Fire Soldiers, what is there to be afraid of. Everyone rest assured, Cai Gong still has 5,000 divine fire soldiers who have not come out of the ranks, a total of 10,000. You have also seen the combat power of the Divine Fire Soldiers, and it is not a problem to be ten when one is not a problem, what is the only 100,000 corpse beast soldiers, and this time my Divine Fire Soldiers will take the lead. ”

When Qunhao heard this, his spirit was uplifted, some people cheered, and there were divine fire soldiers in front, and the victory over the corpse beast was just around the corner.

Fei Wuji said again: "See you tomorrow, go all out, and fight with the corpse beasts." "The voice is high pitched.
