Chapter 60: The Ghost Car Army
The coast of the East China Sea.
The sun disappeared into the land one by one, but the war continued, the attacking and defending sides saw each other in a narrow area of less than five miles, the chariot with the thorn flower symbol ran through the phalanx of sword and shield men incomparably savagely, but was blocked by the enemy's halberd phalanx, and the heavy riders followed on both sides of the chariot, they launched a death-like charge, and the enemy was the devil who crawled out of hell, they simply ignored the approach of death, held up the halberd, and poked the knights wrapped in heavy armor away.
He stood tall on a chariot without any markings, his iron armor covered with terrifying scars, the blood-red scars floating behind his back, his face could not be seen, and only a pair of eyes were exposed from the helmet, and from the crack in the helmet was a cold and dead gaze. Above his head, a black bird hovered, and its cry was extremely strange, like a wheel rolling over gravel, 'rolling', messenger of death, ghost car.
"Spring ......"
Under the last rays of the setting sun, eight shirtless men sounded the horn of war that was two feet long, and this majestic and desolate sound instantly spread to every corner of the battlefield.
Forward, forward, open a bloody path for the tank.
Forward, forward, drive the enemy into the sea.
Go forward and tear the thorn flower to pieces......
The countercurrent is roaring, the sea of iron armor rolls up blood-red waves, the sword and shield hand, the halberd hand steps on the sticky paste of blood, sending the sword and halberd into the enemy's body, the archers are shooting, the sky is raining arrows like locusts gnawing at every inch of land, the enemy is retreating step by step, they are panicking, but they are still desperate to support, they want to hold on until the sunset and fall into the sea.
At this moment, the galloping chariot rushed down from a high place, the invincible iron armor torrent was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, instantly piercing the last trace of courage of the enemy, reloaded and riding in front of the high-speed galloping chariot, just a plaything, they were like iron grasshoppers mercilessly smashed and thrown away by a huge chariot, the scythe of death was like a hurricane, ploughing from west to east, the human head was rolling, the blood was shooting, and life was as thin as paper at this moment.
The defeat is like a mountain, the inverted waves are frantically pounding the thorn flag, it is trembling, it is rapidly retreating, it wants to retreat to the sea, where there is still a group of warships waiting for it, the night is coming, and it is impossible for the chariot to chase into the sea, but it can take the warship to a certain island, quietly waiting for another comeback.
Unfortunately, the night is still long.
"Rolling ......"
A strange sound sounded above the thorn flag, and a blackbird burst through the air, clutching the flag and scratching it with its sharp beak and sharp claws. Devil, die! Above the flag, a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous thorn flower armor pulled out the bow in his hand, and when the sun set, he stepped and bent over, the bow was like a full moon, and he looked very magnificent.
"Bang!"
Just as he drew his bow, a bald man suddenly jumped up from the chariot, jumped on the horse, and stood on the galloping horse and threw the huge and friendless war hammer in his hand.
The man wearing the thorn flower armor was smashed with people and cars, and the thorn flower banner fell into the blood, and everything was over.
The living live firmly, and the dead sleep forever.
On this bloody Shura field, a scrawny war horse carried him, slowly passing through, everyone who saw him lowered their heads, he glanced at the thorn flower banner in the pool of blood, his eyes turned from cold to calm, stretched out his hand, and the black bird stopped on his arm.
The bald man was pulling the hammer out of the destroyed chariot, turned to him, and bent down towards him. He nodded, turned his horse's head, and turned back to run toward the hillside, the tattered blood-colored expanse unbridled.
On the hillside, someone was waiting for him, the man was wearing a beautiful iron armor, but the armor on this person's body looked nondescript, he was not wearing a helmet, revealing a rich and round face, and his bloated body squeezed the armor to the point that it was about to deform, which made people very worried about him, either the thin armor was squeezed or the armor would be strangled to death.
The man looked at him as he ran towards the hillside, and a smile appeared on his face, a merchant's smile.
The horse under him was old and thin, and even if he climbed this not steep slope, he made the old horse gasp heavily, and he was afraid of injuring the horse, so he rolled off the horse's back, and took the reins of the old horse and dragged it up the hill.
The appearance was very strange, and the merchant in armor laughed: "Congratulations on your final victory, now that you are richer than I am, if I were you, the first thing I would do was not to change my clothes and bathe, but to slaughter this old horse and replace it with a better one." Maybe you don't have to kill it, as soon as you let go, it will die on the spot, hahaha. Ha. ”
"Huh!"
The merchant's exaggerated laughter abruptly stopped, for a strange weapon was already attached to his neck, like a scythe.
The cold blade reflected the distorted face of the merchant, and the voice of the man with the blade became even colder: "If you dare to say one more word, I will cut your tongue." If my horse is lost because of your words, then you had better pray to the Great God of Heaven every day to wake up the next day, with your head still on your neck. ”
After saying this, he coldly withdrew his weapon, picked a place with tender green weeds, tied the old horse there, and then walked to the merchant, and said coldly: "I want iron, grain, and slaves." Within three days, whether it is you or your king, be sure to be ready. ”
Cold sweat rolled out of the face of the merchant in armor, he wiped it vigorously, and looked at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield all over the mountains, his face darkened inch by inch, but he said with a smile: "The Ghost Car Legion really lives up to its reputation, and it will not be less than a cent of your property, as for the slaves, what do you want slaves to do?" If you wish, the king can give you a piece of land, and you and your legions can stay in the kingdom of Lu, and you will be a true nobleman from now on. ”
"Aristocrats? Ha ha. ”
A black and thin man walked up from the bottom of the hillside, stood next to the man in a red coat, showed a row of white teeth and said with a smile: "Thank you Lu Hou and Ying Qing for your kindness, but our ghost car army is used to being free, it doesn't matter to us whether we are noble or not, as long as whoever can afford it, we will work for whom." Of course, iron, grain, and slaves are all indispensable. As he spoke, he climbed onto the merchant's chariot, patted the wheel, tilted his head and looked the merchant's exquisite armor up and down for a while, and said, "Ying Qing's armor is good, or ten slaves will be exchanged with you?" ”
"This ......"
The businessman's face turned red, this black and thin man was right, he was not a businessman, his real identity was the secretary of Lu State, but a secretary was wantonly ridiculed by a mercenary, if this was spread out, wouldn't it be ridiculous in the world? However, the situation is not as good as others, Lu is originally just a small country of 100 times, the country's military strength is not more than 10,000, and it is hovering on the verge of destroying the country all day long under the continuous war, if it were not for the general of Qi to introduce this ghost car army to help, the current Lu country may have been wiped out by the Dongyi people who floated from the sea.
Thinking that the introducer was Le Ning, the general of Qi State, Secretary Lu Guo's heart jumped, and he forcibly held back the monstrous anger in his heart, and tried his best to make an indifferent appearance, but he didn't speak.
Seeing this, the black and thin man smiled and jumped down from the chariot.
At the same time, several people came up from the bottom of the slope one after another, and the first was a man in black, and the only one who was not wearing armor, he carried a sword on his shoulder, and the scabbard was stained with blood, but there was no trace of blood on his body, his face was pale, and his eyes were indifferent, as if he did not know what life and death were. Behind the man in black was an honest-looking sword and shield bearer, with a broken arrow in his chest, his shoulder pads and cuirass in tatters, and the iron shield in his hand was uneven, full of marks of heavy blows. Next to the sword and shield bearer, a one-eyed man carried two plate axes, and the swarthy axes were dripping with blood, staining the weeds on the ground. Behind the two axemen were two archers, one missing an ear and the other with a stab in the face, the scar pulling from the center of the brow to the jaw, extremely hideous. At the end of the line was the bald devil who smashed the head of the Thornflower Tribe chief with a hammer.
This group of people is the seven leaders of the Ghost Car Legion, and the one who is dressed in red is the commander of the Ghost Car Legion, he is wearing armor all year round, no one knows his true face, only that he kills people without blinking. And on the coast of the East China Sea, the vassal states and the Dongyi tribes, no one does not know the famous Ghost Car Legion, they have maintained 3,000 people all year round, only fighting but not producing, and they have a strong combat power. In the past eight years, they have sometimes fought against Dayong for the Qi State, and sometimes they have been active in bloody battles with the Dongyi people along the sea, and sometimes they will intervene in the attacks between the vassal states.
However, the nest of the Ghost Car Legion is in Cloud Town of Qi State, and it is difficult to say that they have nothing to do with Qi State.
As we all know, the military strength of the Qi State, which is rich in armor, is composed of the army directly under the king, the vassals of each vassal, and the mercenaries from all countries under the world. When there is chaos today, wars are raging, and after eight years of baptism of blood and fire, this ghost car army seems to be the number one mercenary in the territory of Qi State. Lu Guo can't afford to offend Qiang Qi, who has the power of ten thousand times, and likewise, he can't afford to offend this group of devils who kill people without blinking.
……
The Yunlu Mountains of Qi do not see the sun all year round, and the spring breeze blows through the mountains where the clouds go through the fog, and there is a small town called Yunwu Town under the green peaks.
Yunwu Town is the territory of Le Ning, the general of Qi State, but the general rarely comes here, and the person who manages this town is called Le Mi, who is the general's clan and a businessman.
However, this is only his apparent identity, there are more than a dozen mercenary corps large and small in the territory of Qi State, most of these mercenaries are from the descendants of the princes who have died in the country, they live by looking down on the Qi country, use the land of the Marquis of Qi, eat the grain of the Marquis of Qi, of course have to serve the Marquis of Qi, and Le Mi's other identity is responsible for managing these mercenary corps. During the war, these mercenaries fought for the Marquis of Qi, and in their spare time, Le Mi was a businessman, of course the businessmen had to be in business, how could they be idle, and there was only one way to make these people who could only fight generate value, and that was war.
At this moment, Le Ning was sitting on a meadow full of gladiolus, with his eyes closed, his expression was very intoxicating, and the taste of gladiolus was fresh and natural.
There were two maids beside him, both of whom were charming figures, one was pouring wine from a bronze wine cup, of course, Qi wine, and Qi wine had to be drunk in Qi country. Another maid with a small fan was chasing the buzzing gladiolus bee for him. Where gladiolus flowers bloom, how can there be no gladiolus bees?
Le Mi smiled slightly, opened her eyes, and stretched her waist to look at the entrance of the town.
At the entrance of the town was a large banner embroidered with a strange black bird, and the cold eyes of the bird made people shudder, even if it was just a dead thing.
After a while, the slight sound of horses' hooves passed through the thick fog and reached Le Mi's ears, and then the sound of hooves became more and more urgent, as if thousands of horses were galloping. He stood up and walked out of town.
