Chapter 122: The Charm of the Spirit
The night was deep, the horses' hooves were sick, and the sky-high fire of Guangtongcang touched the nerves of the surrounding Sui army, and the nearest Tongguan garrison was the first to react, sending soldiers and horses to rush towards the large granary several miles away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Almost everyone had a torch in their hands, converging into a fire dragon, and marched along the official road towards the northwest, although the military situation was urgent, but in order to prevent ambushes, their marching speed was not fast.
Where did the enemy come from?
I can't figure it out, it was probably the Zhou army who attacked Guangtongcang, and it seemed that he crossed the Qinling Mountains from which valley he took a small road, and if it was a small force, it was possible to sneak into the Guanzhong territory quietly.
But if you want to attack Guangtong Cang, then you can't miss people, so how these Zhou troops touched Guangtong Cang without showing a trace is a big problem.
So there must be a mole to help.
Chang'an was lost like this, so Guangtongcang was also so unlucky, and the Tongguan reinforcements didn't want to be betrayed by the traitors and encountered an ambush halfway, so they could only move forward cautiously.
Sure enough, the official road, which was fairly flat on weekdays, suddenly became potholes, and there were many shallow pits on the road, which were not available in the daytime, and it was obviously a pit dug by someone temporarily.
It doesn't matter if a person walks past, but a running horse can easily be broken to the foot, and a war horse is broken and scrapped, so this kind of trap is quite vicious.
Advancing cautiously, it was dark on both sides of the road at night, the weeds swayed in the wind, and it seemed that there were thousands of troops and horses inside, and the Sui soldiers marching with torches knew that they were very conspicuous, so they were wary.
Regardless of whether anyone is hiding in the grass or not, shoot an arrow first where they think it is suspicious, and then stop, and just grind forward.
Seeing such a delay, I am afraid that I will not be able to rescue Guangtong Cang, the leading general is a little anxious, if the rescue is not timely and the account is settled afterwards, he will not be able to eat and walk around, but he will rush forward recklessly, and everything will be closed if he is ambushed.
While he was struggling, someone suddenly caught a glimpse of movement in the field by the roadside, some firelight moved erratically, and the color of light green looked very strange.
"It's a ghost fire!"
"How can there be a ghost fire in this place!"
The soldiers all noticed this situation, there were seeping ghost fires floating on both sides of the road, this kind of scene is common in cemeteries at night, but there are no graveyards in this area, and there are never ghost fires at night, but there are so many here and now, which makes people break out in a cold sweat.
"No.. Don't panic! ”
"This is Zhou Kou's trick, don't panic!"
The generals scolded loudly, but they lacked confidence, these years, regardless of whether they are high or low, they have a rather trustworthy attitude towards ghosts and gods, and now the situation is too terrifying, even if they are in a hurry, no one will turn a blind eye.
"Woooooooooooooooooo
A strange cry came from the field, and it seemed that someone was crying for the grave, but where the night was dark and windy, there would be people crying in the field, unless it was not a person.
The cry reached the ears, how eerie and eerie it was, and there was a bold bow and arrow that shot towards the place where the sound came, and the cry then turned into laughter, and under the ghost fire, there seemed to be a black shadow shaking.
"Come on... Come on..."
Just like the little lady in Le Fang is soliciting customers, but hearing it in this kind of place at this time will only make people creepy, and they have shot many arrows one after another without stopping, and the Sui soldiers have begun to panic.
The sound stopped abruptly, and many ghost fires appeared, and then sobbing sounded, and it seemed that many people were crying, and the Sui soldiers released another round of arrows, but still no effect was received.
There are many ghosts, and there seem to be many ghosts and ghosts ready to move, and some timid Sui soldiers have begun to tremble.
Seeing that it was not a way to go down like this, the leading general made people blow the horn and be emboldened, and ordered to continue to advance, instinctively telling him that this might be a ghost in Zhou Jun's costume, but he really couldn't figure out how the other party made a ghost fire.
Could it really be a ghost? It's too...
There was a building in front of him, it was a post station on the official road, but now the black light was blind and even the lantern at the door was extinguished, it looked a little too quiet, in case someone was ambushed, more than a dozen Sui soldiers touched it to take the lead.
Holding a shield in front, he cautiously advanced, and finally came to the outside of the post wall, looked at the figure in the small building, and one person picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the other party.
A blow hit, the black shadow shook for a moment and did not react, the stone fell down and made a sound, but there was no other movement in the courtyard, and everyone secretly said that it was not good, and they climbed over the wall.
What if there's an ambush inside? Die! Isn't it sent to death when you are sent to take the lead?
A Sui soldier, with the help of his companions, climbed the wall and carefully watched the movement of the courtyard inside the wall, and was about to signal that there was nothing abnormal, but he was frightened by the scene he accidentally glimpsed: in the black window of the main hall, a miserable white face was looking at him.
The light was dim at night, but the open window could clearly see the human face, looking at himself with a smile, how weird and weird.
"Ahh There are ghosts!! ”
The man cried and rolled down the wall, the person was scared to death, the others were already frightened, and they were naturally scared by this, and the strange situation on the road just now already made people's hearts beat drums, and now the post station is also haunted, and if you don't run at this time, when will you wait.
The generals in the back saw these people crawling back and said that the post station was "haunted", but before they had time to attack, they saw a lot of ghost fires coming out near the post station, and the soldiers were in an uproar when they saw this, and some people already wanted to turn around and run.
"Don't run, whoever dares to run will be killed!"
So far, it's useless to be afraid, since it is determined that Zhou Jun is a ghost, then the other party's purpose is to delay time, so even if you are worried in your heart, you must bite the bullet to dismantle the ecstasy array laid by the other party.
"It must be Zhou Kou's ghost, rush up and kill those bastards who pretend to be ghosts!"
The military order was difficult to disobey, and the Sui soldiers hulala rushed up and rushed towards the ghost fire near the post station, afraid of being afraid, but it was good that their own people were more yang and enough, and sure enough, those ghost fires seemed to be scared and drifted outside.
A group of Sui soldiers were chasing after them, when they suddenly stumbled under their feet, and then suddenly stood up in front of them, and when they looked at it, they were almost frightened: skeletons in cloth and silk were looking at themselves with a smile.
"Ahhh There are ghosts! ”
The extreme fear made these soldiers turn around and run, and the generals couldn't reprimand, and even the surrounding people began to run, and an army collapsed in an instant.
In the hall inside the post station, Liu Wenjing, who was tied to a pillar, struggled, his mouth was blocked with rags and he couldn't speak, he could only be as helpless as everyone else, they heard the movement outside, but they were helpless.
Looking at the human-shaped paper-cut in the window, Liu Wenjing was full of grief and indignation: Where there are ghosts, they are all lies, you cowards, go to the post station to save people!!
。。。。。。
Guangtong Cang, Huazhou reinforcements have just arrived, they looked at the "Flame Mountain" in front of them dumbfounded, and their hearts were already cold: It's over, Guangtongcang is over, it's all over.
"What's going on! What's going on with you guys! There are so many soldiers guarding it, and they even let people order the granary! The grain and grass of the army have been burned, and now it is all over!! ”
A general roared at the survivors, and the other party was dressed in an official cloak with a frightened face, and couldn't stop crying: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts, there are ghost fires everywhere..."
"You're big! What about Zhou Jun? What about the Zhou army that attacked the granary? ”
"Xiaguan... Xia Guan didn't know, a group of skeleton demons rushed in and cut people when they saw them, ahhhhhhhhhh ”
The man broke free from his restraints, cried and ran out, looking like he had gone mad, and the general of the Sui army looked at the burned granary, and then looked at the corpses all over the ground, and shouted hoarsely:
"Search it now! Dig three feet into the ground to search Zhou Jun out! (To be continued.) )
