The forty-ninth episode, Nanguanghua sent troops to the Southern Barbarians, and Cao Mengde pacified Hebei (26
The five hundred fangding army cautiously walked forward for a distance, and the white shadow in the distance became clearer and clearer, and the human form could be faintly seen. Just seeing the human form could not determine whether it was a human or a ghost, so Fang Ding Qu ordered the soldiers to continue walking, but when they could see the figure and appearance of the people in white, they immediately regretted it.
I saw that the dozens of white-clothed "people" had wide shoulders and thick backs, they were all a head taller than ordinary people, and their heads were white and shiny, looking like bald men from a distance, but when they looked closer, they clearly had skull heads. The eyes, nose, and mouth are located in several black holes of various sizes.
When Fang Ding Jun saw this scene, he was frightened one by one, and sat on the ground directly with his ass timid, and a stench of smell spread in the team. At this time, the leader of the fang Ding Qu was already sure that the singer was a ghost, how could a living person have a skull head. But it was too late for him to leave, because the singing ghosts had also discovered them, and the singing was instantly heard, and dozens of skulls looked at them. For a while, Fang Ding Jun couldn't hear anything except the sound of his own pounding heartbeat, and everyone stared at the ghosts with skull heads.
Just when the head of the song thought that the goblins were going to rush over and eat him, the song suddenly started again, it was the same tune as before, but the lyrics were very different, and the song also became a roar, as if the goblins were suddenly angry.
The shell, only the shell of the slaughtered. Hollow eye sockets, no blood, no tears, no light. Far away, look into the distance, big towns, the splendour. Rotten splendor......
water, can not be washed off, on the nails, old wounds. Broken armor, can't be hidden, warrior's, old faith. Hold the gun, hold the gun, and go back to the front. Where is the enemy, and where is the hatred......
When a note fell, the Fang Ding Army saw an incredible scene, and dozens of skulls flew in their direction. That's right! What they saw was not a white-clothed skeleton, but dozens of skulls floating in mid-air flying directly over. This kind of change scared the Fang Ding army stupid at that time, and I don't know which soldier suddenly let out a scream of "ah~". Immediately after that, the five hundred brute soldiers shouted at the same time, turned around and ran.
These fangding armies never flinched in the face of the enemy on the battlefield, and were not afraid of death at all. But when they faced the unknown ghosts and gods, they collectively collapsed, and one by one they hated their parents for having two legs less, and ran back desperately.
Hua Bei and the others hid behind a big tree and watched the scattered army of five hundred fangs stunned. Brought incredulous: "This scares away?" My brother-in-law is also too powerful! Sending fifty people scared five hundred people away, and this fangding army is nothing more than that! ”
Zhang Baiqi hid behind a nearby tree and explained, "This is the power of the ghost pawn. In our eyes, it was the black-clothed ghost pawns who rushed over, but those fangding troops who were attracted by the white-clothed ghost pawns could only see skeletons flying towards them in the dark night, and it was strange that they were not defeated. ”
Hearing and understanding the principle of the Netherworld Ghost Pawn, Hua Bei's admiration for Nan Ye increased another layer and asked, "Then should I rush to kill at this time?" ”
Zhang Bai rode and said: "No! The more Fangding troops fled back, the more chaotic Meng Shu's camp became. Just let them cowards run back and spread the word for us. ”
As soon as the words fell, Nan Ye, Huang Zhong and the others led the mage's personal guards over, they were just lying in ambush behind the ghost pawns just in case, even if the barbarians were not afraid of ghosts and really fighting, Nan Ye also had a backhand. Looking at the back of the fleeing Fang Ding Army, Nan Ye smiled slightly, ordered someone to clean up the traces of the battlefield, and then led everyone to hide in the mountains and forests.
However, it was said that after the 500 Fangding army returned to the camp, they reported what they had seen and heard to Meng Shu. Looking at the colorless fangding Qu Chang in front of him, Meng Shu also had to believe that there were really ghosts in this world. Although he had not seen the floating skull with his own eyes, he had heard the change of the ghost song in the camp, which was enough to prove that the fang-ding song had not lied.
Meng Shu sighed in his heart, he really didn't know how to use to resist a group of ghosts, so he asked, "How many people and horses did you lose this time?" And how do those goblins kill people? ”
Fang Ding Qu Chang was stunned when he heard this, he patronized and ran along the way, and when he returned to the camp, he came to see Meng Shu, and he really didn't have time to count the people, so he replied: "Back to the king, I didn't dare to fight after I met the ghosts, so I had to scatter and run back to the camp to report the news, and I don't know how the casualties were." ”
Meng Shu understood as soon as he heard it, these fangding troops didn't fight, and they were directly frightened and fled, saying that going back to the camp to report the news was just an excuse. Meng Huo wanted to be angry, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was common sense for people and ghosts to be afraid of each other, so he suppressed his anger and comforted: "You have worked hard to wait here!" When the soldiers return to the camp after dawn, you take stock and report to me quickly, the dead will be buried and the wounded will be rewarded. Besides, don't spread the word about tonight. ”
Seeing that Meng was gracious, he hurriedly thanked him for not blaming himself for the crime of escaping, and repeatedly promised that he would restrain his subordinates from talking nonsense. It's a pity that some things can't be suppressed artificially, and just when Fang Ding Qu Chang told Meng Shu, the five hundred soldiers who had scattered into the camp had already spread the news of the ghost encounter.
"Have you heard? The ghosts outside the camp are a group of skeletons dressed in white. A brute standing guard asked the brute beside him.
"It's not just a skeleton in white! And a bunch of flying skeletons! "Apparently the other brute got a lot of news.
"Listening to the old witch doctor in the cave, these ghosts are unjust souls who died in battle, ghost soldiers and ghost generals. They must have regarded us as their enemies in life. The brute continued.
"I think the old witch doctor is right, that ghost song does look like it was sung by ghost soldiers. It must be because the king provoked the ghost soldiers with his sword soldiers, which made them mistakenly think that we and others were enemies, and it seems that this battle cannot be fought! A standing guard lamented.
"Shhhh You don't want to live anymore! Did this reach the ears of the king? A veteran looked left and right, cautiously said.
This is not the only place where the ghost soldiers are talking about the ghost soldiers in the Meng Shu camp, almost all the barbarians are talking about this matter. It was another sleepless night, and the morale of the army plummeted, which made Meng Huo extremely annoyed. However, Meng Shu also got a good news, after some statistics after dawn, there were many 500 barbarians who went out to explore the road at night, and all of them returned to the camp.
Many of these fangs were wounded, some were blinded by the branches of the trees in the forest when they fled, some fell and broke their legs and feet in the dark, and some crashed into the big trees in a panic and broke their blood, but none of them were injured by ghosts, and no one died. This strange situation made Meng Shu feel incomprehensible and relieved at the same time, at least these living fangding soldiers can prove that even if they encounter ghosts, they are not certain to die.
Now that the news of the ghost singing has spread in the camp, Meng Huo can't suppress it even if he wants to, so he simply let these five hundred fangding soldiers show up and say the word, hoping that they can boost some morale.
After making up his mind, Meng Shu gathered all the barbarian soldiers in the school field, and let the five hundred fangding army stand in front of the army, and then said: "Last night, the king sent five hundred warriors to track down the source of the night ghost song, and as for the result, you may have heard of it. Today, the king would like to inform you that all of the five hundred warriors returned to the camp this morning, and those ghosts did not take their lives. From this, we can know that people and ghosts have different paths, maybe we can't match the ghosts, but the ghosts can't help me, and the soldiers of the battalions don't need to panic. Moreover, those ghosts come out day and night, so it can be seen that they are afraid of the sun, and today I personally led the troops to search the mountains to see where these ghosts came from. ”
Meng Yu said that he divided half of the men, personally led 5,000 people, and divided the remaining 20,000 barbarians into ten teams to search the mountains, while Meng You stayed in the camp and sat in the town.
Twenty-five thousand barbarian soldiers were indeed not a small number, but they were scattered among the mountains like a drop in the ocean, and it was impossible to cover the entire mountain. If the 25,000 barbarians were scattered to pull the net to search, the area of exploration could be larger, but at this time, the barbarians were already like frightened birds, where would they dare to disperse again?
The effect of the eleven teams of brute soldiers gathered together to search the mountains and the eleven people to search the mountains is also similar, not to mention that except for Meng Huo's team, the search is quite serious, the other ten teams are all hasty, they are still afraid of hitting ghosts, so naturally they will not seriously look for any ghosts. This search method of the barbarian soldiers was in the heart of Nan Ye, and Nan Ye and his party, who were hiding in the depths of the cave, easily evaded Meng Yu's search.
A whole day of searching was fruitless, but Meng was not discouraged. At this time, there is no result but the most haode result, if a group of fierce ghosts really rushed out of the mountains and forests and bit a team of people to death, then it would make Meng Shu run in tears.
After leading the brute back to the camp, Meng Shu gave another speech, once again emphasizing the powerlessness of the ghosts. The 25,000 men and horses searched for a whole day without a single casualty, and this is the most Haode evidence. I have to say that Meng Huo is very clever in this hand, since he can no longer conceal the existence of ghosts, then try to minimize the impact of ghosts, ghosts that cannot harm people are obviously not worth fearing.
The morale of the barbarians recovered a little under the encouragement of Meng Huo, and Meng Huo hit the railroad while it was hot: "Although this king doesn't know why there are ghosts and monsters, those ghosts obviously have no intention of harming us. The king believes that as long as we ignore it, we will be at peace with the ghosts. If they want to sing, let them sing, and I'll wait until I close my ears to sleep. ”
Meng Shu's words made the barbarians relax a lot, and many of them snickered. But in the evening, Meng Shu and the barbarians under his command couldn't laugh, for no other reason, the song was much closer to the camp. Combined with the previous two songs, all the brutes found a problem, that is, the goblins were heading in the direction of the big camp. This realization filled the entire battalion with panic again.
