Chapter 131: The Attack of the Ghost Face Army [I]
The morning light broke through the fog left in the night, and everyone immediately got up. Smoke rose into the sky, and soon the pots and pots of food were boiling, and the soldiers immediately devoured the wooden bowls, especially the people of the Servant tribe, who knew that perhaps this would be their last hearty breakfast.
The servant couldn't help but feel remorse now, he regretted why he listened to what Hu Mei, the vixen, said, what reinforcements were there! Why do you cherish these powers so much, if you surrender earlier, although you will lose a lot. But now it seems that he has lost not only power, but also life.
At this time, in the sound of gongs and horns, a squad of soldiers covered in demon tattoos and bronze ghost masks took the lead from the camp. The already tense atmosphere on the battlefield froze, and the air felt like it was condensed into ice. Although there were more than a thousand soldiers in the back, the attention on the battlefield was focused on this small group of soldiers, which numbered no more than 100 people.
Although the Gonglie Tiger fought last night, his spirit seemed to be okay, the only thing that was not so good was that his back was a little hunched, and his legs trembled slightly, but the Gonglie Tiger was well controlled and did not let people notice. On the contrary, there are two black eye bags hanging under the eyes, which is even more noticeable.
"What did you do last night? This is what it looks like! Slouch! Gongjing walked up to Gongliehu and scolded.
When Gonglie Hu heard this, he couldn't help but shrink his head in fear, and hurriedly covered up: "Last night, I was thinking about how to capture the servant department, if the servant department can't be attacked, how to deal with Yang Zilu's Jiukui department after coming, I forgot to sleep when I thought about it!" ”
Hearing this, Gongjing still kept a straight face, but the corners of his mouth were a little more relieved, nodded, and said firmly: "Pay attention to rest next time!" ”
"Yes!" Gongliehu hurriedly responded, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart, and finally sent the old man away. If he knew what he was doing last night, I'm afraid that thirty whips would be indispensable.
…………
"This is the Ghostface Army!?" Yang Zilu stood on the cliff, looking down at the battlefield below, and asked in a deep voice.
"It should be!" Mang Gao wasn't quite sure, he had just heard an old man say that he hadn't seen what the Ghost Face Army looked like. However, looking at the dress of this team of soldiers, combined with the rumors, it is estimated that this army of ten soldiers and horses is the biggest killer ghost face army of the gull department.
"This is a mighty army! If there are no reinforcements, the servant department will definitely fall before noon today, send someone to inform Lao Kan, change the plan, the soldiers speed up the march, and be sure to arrive at the servant department before noon. We can't give Gongjing a breather! Yang Zilu's eyes froze, and he was categorical.
"Yes!" Mang Gao replied loudly, and at the same time was a little surprised by Yang Zilu's evaluation of the Ghost Face Army, in his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Jiukui Division under the same number of people is probably about the same, even if it is not the most powerful among the Shanyue people. However, Mang Gao still strictly followed Yang Zilu's orders, quickly went to the improvised camp, selected a soldier with good riding skills, and asked him to deliver a message to Shangkan Pingtian, who was halfway through.
…………
The Ghost Face Army has a strong mythological color, a living sika deer was pulled to the front of the battle formation with a rope, and a wizard-like person walked to the front of the formation, raised his hands, and muttered a strange language full of ancient atmosphere.
All the soldiers of the Devil-Faced Army knelt down, folded their hands, and bowed their heads sincerely. Although the other soldiers of the gull department did not kneel, they also bowed their heads in awe to show awe. After half a ring, a strong soldier took this sharp knife out of the queue and strode up to the sika deer, who seemed to sense the danger coming, and struggled frantically, twisting the sharp horns on his head, trying to give the soldier a deadly attack.
However, the nearby soldiers had already prepared, and the two ropes were wrapped around the head and body of the sika deer respectively, and the two soldiers pulled the ropes tightly, and the sika deer could only resist in vain. The strong soldier skillfully caught the sharp horns of the sika deer with one hand, and the short blade in his hand struck out decisively and slashed through the neck of the sika deer. When he landed, a bloody arrow splattered on the soldier, and the soldier did not move.
Another soldier stretched a clay plate under the sika deer, and the sika deer kept struggling, but it was all in vain. Blood fell on the clay plate. When the pottery plate was almost finished, the soldier brought the pottery plate full of deer blood to the wizard, and a ghost face soldier slowly stood up in an orderly manner, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully to the wizard. The sorcerer reached out in a pottery plate, dipped it in deer blood, and smeared it on the Ghost-Faced soldiers, drawing simple but savage totems.
The totem of the Ghost-Faced Army soldier raises his weapon aloft and roars wildly. It was as if they had all turned into humanoid beasts, and their eyes were bloodshot.
"Attack!" After all the ghost-faced soldiers finished sketching the totems on their bodies, Gongjing waved his hand and roared.
The ghost-faced army monster screamed, and immediately ran as fast as an arrow from the string, and took the lead in attacking without any siege weapons. The soldiers of the servant department were very nervous, and most of the arrows were aimed at the Ghost Face Army.
But the people of the Ghost Face Army seemed to have cooperated with the soldiers of the Servant Sentence Department countless times, and as soon as the slight arrow was fired, the Ghost Face Army soldiers knew the direction of the shot, or raised their shields to block the arrows, or used the weapons in their hands to shoot the arrows away.
At this time, Yang Zilu's eyes froze, and he found that the weapons of the Ghost Face Army were very special, generally a bronze short sword, but it was not right to say that it was a sword, and the sword body was slightly bent inward, like a knife. The tip of the blade is particularly large, like a leaf.
Yang Zilu groaned slightly, he knew the characteristics of this kind of sword, because the sword body was bent inward, once it slashed at the enemy, it could increase the face value of friction, causing the enemy's wound to become larger. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, because the front end of the sword body is relatively large, and the metal thickness is uneven, once it collides with other weapons, it is easy to break, so with this special sword, you need to have superb skills and a certain amount of confidence. This also shows that the Ghost Face Army is not imaginary.
This made Yang Zilu look forward to the expression of this ghost-faced army more and more, and at the same time, a longing also welled up in his heart. I hope that in the future, I can also have a soldier under my command who is as fierce as the soldiers of the Ghost Face Army, and the combat effectiveness is really real.
Seeing that the Ghost Face soldiers were so fierce, and the other soldiers of the Gullbe were also stimulated, everyone screamed and rushed forward with a wooden ladder. Wooden ladders were quickly erected on the city walls.
