413 Battle for the Grain Road
The arrogance who walked into the council hall was far from the majestic momentum he had when he first entered the city, and now he was full of sadness. [ 八一 (Chinese?[?) [ ]]].]8〉1〕Z]].COM
"I've seen all of you...", Zhang Madness half-knelt on the ground and saluted, "There is a confidential information report below, please retreat..."
When the surprised Suzaku withdrew all the attendants, leaving only the main officials in the council hall, Zhang Yan finally spoke.
"My lord, the grain convoy has been attacked, and there have been heavy casualties..."
"Ahh
Under the introduction of Zhang Qiang, everyone finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Zhang Mad was not the first batch of grain transportation teams to leave Dawang City, before him, there was a centurion surnamed Wang who took a grain transportation team a day in advance, and it is said that the first person to return to Dawang City should not be Zhang Mad .
The insolence was abnormal yesterday evening, and when the team was about to reach the predetermined campsite, a mutation occurred. The soldiers who led the team to clean up the campsite in advance actually showed up the grain transport team that was about to be buried by the wind and snow.
When everyone came over to clear the snow carefully, there were corpses all over the ground under the snow. And those corpses are very familiar to everyone, that is, the food transport team that came out in advance, a team of more than 15o people.
Although this time Peishui transported grain was a temporary idea of Suzaku, it was carefully deduced many times during the preparation. First of all, these food convoys only selected volunteers from the Black Iron Legion and the militia, and only well-trained soldiers could carry out such a difficult task, and even if the people were enthusiastic, they still lacked systematic training.
In addition, each team has a Skywalker as a herald, and at least three or more Awakened Ones are used for spell incentives.
Without the participation of the Awakened in this food transportation mission, it would have been impossible to complete it, and it was with the support of the Awakened Ones' healing techniques, light techniques, wind walking techniques, and various spells that increased stamina and physical strength, that these mortal soldiers could complete the journey of two thousand miles in fifteen days.
Elite warriors, plus nimble Skywalkers, plus more than three Awakened, and finally an experienced captain. It is said that such a combat team can already deal with countless unexpected situations, how can it be possible that the entire army will be wiped out here?
Can you run away if you can't beat it? Could it be that the Black Iron Legion that dominates one side has forgotten even the basic skill of running?
No one can answer this question, because that squad has all died, and the identity of the person who shot it is very clear, it is the awakened and the awakened person with a very high realm.
"We carefully examined the wounds on each corpse, and now they have died under the attack of various spells, including 45 people who died from poisoning, 32 people who froze to death, another 25 people who died in fire spells, and the rest of the corpses died from the piercing of ice picks. ”
"There are 149 people, not a single one alive, it seems that they were attacked by a team of awakened people, and there are awakened people in various series..."
"But one-third of these soldiers are wearing black iron equipment, and these soldiers are also fatal with one hit, so it seems that the one who shot must be the Great Master Awakened, otherwise there will be no such one-hit fatal effect..."
Zhang Qiang's analysis is very correct, the black iron equipment is already good at defending against spell attacks, if it is an awakened person who is a small proficient realm, it is impossible to have a fatal effect with one blow at all, then it must be a bitter battle.
After listening to Zhang Yan's introduction to the situation in silence, Zuo Panyu asked, "What happened later?
"I have buried the body on the spot, and my location at that time was close to the border of Peishui, I remember that there was a nameless lake there, and many of Liu Lao's friends lived there, so I went there to ask for help..."
Clever, arrogant, this kid is really smart, he analyzed the general appearance of the incident at the first time, and he also knows that only a big master can deal with a big master, and he also knows how to find reinforcements.
Suzaku knew that there were really six great masters living by the nameless small lake, and they all followed Uncle Wenmo from Penglai Island. On the Immortal Ridge, they are among the great masters who have joined forces to perform the Dragon Locking Technique.
These six great masters were left by Liu Lao and Wenmo specifically for Pei Shui, after the battle in their land, Pei Shui couldn't leave the town guard of the great master, but in order to save the Liuhu Liu Lao, they couldn't take care of it, so they left only six people, and the others were all taken away to search for herbs.
In fact, this is really the light of the dead Master Tongxuan, if it weren't for the death of Master Tongxuan that angered these old monsters, how could they take care of Pei Shui's group of mortals.
"What's wrong with the masters?" Zuo Panyu asked anxiously.
"The masters said that there was only one attacker, and it must be a great master. Now the masters have divided their troops into two ways to protect the two lifelines of grain transportation..."
"The master said that the pile of grain had been contaminated with wood poison and could not be eaten at all. The enemy is consciously trying to expand the crisis of Peishui, and he wants to starve to death millions of Peishui people..."
"Shhh
"What a vicious method? Could it be that the Yu family and the Li family did it? But we have just reached an armistice agreement, are they really going to destroy it? But who else can there be?"
Just as everyone was thinking about it, Suzaku spoke: "That's why you deliberately scattered meat strips at the city gate to spread the news that there are plenty of supplies? Do you want to help us stabilize people's hearts?"
After seeing Zhang Yan's silent nod, Suzaku smiled instead of being angry, "Okay, you are doing very well..."
Suzaku stood up, looked around at the Wenwu in the hall and said with a smile, "What's there to worry about, we Peishui haven't seen any storms in the past ten years, but it's just a few great proficient sneak attackers, there's nothing to worry about..."
"Besides, why did the arrogant team return safely? This shows that these sneak attackers do not have many manpower, and it is impossible to annihilate all the tens of thousands of grain carriers, they just want to make trouble for us and create a terrifying atmosphere. ”
"Are we Peishui scared?"
"Pass my order, all the Skywalker squads, including the Awakened, form a hundred-person battle team to protect our food transport team along the way, I will see when I arrive, whether your mana is profound, or if we are too many people..."
"Yes—" The hall erupted in response.
Just as Dawangcheng arranged for the patrol to prepare for battle, in the west of Dawangcheng, west of the Water Jade Mine, about to enter the hilly area of Daxue Mountain, a tall figure was riding in the wind and snow.
This is a middle-aged man, the white cloak wraps him tightly, and I don't know how he got it, no matter how heavy the wind and snow outside are, he can't lift a corner of the cloak.
The middle-aged man floated above the snow like a ghost, and an ionized ball with a diameter of more than three meters protected him tightly. Along his way, countless soldiers were struck by the lightning that had been stripped off, and countless wooden climbing plows were ignited by the blue arc of electricity, rising into flames.
The soldiers of Peishui are all warriors, and they have never been afraid of the so-called awakened, and even today they are not afraid of this terrifying figure who can kill them with a raised hand. As a member of the Black Iron Legion, it is already a must for them to be ready to sacrifice anytime and anywhere.
Countless tired figures drew their defensive short swords and rushed towards the enemy without hesitation, but all the courage was not low in the violent spell energy, and those dark blue arcs could always easily take the lives of these soldiers.
No one chooses to retreat and escape, and the soldiers educated by the fire are so dead-eyed. Obviously, it is written in military regulations that if you are accidentally attacked, in the case of being outnumbered, soldiers should take preserving their strength as the first priority. But in the case of life and death, these soldiers often choose to forget this military rule.
Flowing Fire has said many times that until the general gives the order to burn the jade, all soldiers should aim to save their lives. Everyone is the blood of the father and mother, conceived in October, and gradually grew up after ten years of raising, every life should be cherished, but it is a pity that the more the fire says this, the more these stupid soldiers don't listen.
It's the same today, when the captain who led the team was the first to die, all the soldiers were angry, they had nothing but the ** of the battle, and they actually rushed towards the mysterious man like moths to a fire.
When the number of dead soldiers exceeded 100, the momentum of seeing death as if it were home finally frightened the mysterious man.
"Bastard, Lao Tzu is just here to burn grain and grass, why are you working so hard? Why don't you run away..."
What a strange word, the soldiers only have blood in their eyes, and only those burning life-saving food in their hearts. The remaining fifty or so warriors actually formed a most basic phalanx side by side, stepping steadily in three steps, and pressed towards the mysterious man little by little.
"Blood for blood, life for life..."
"Blood for blood, life for life..."
"Blood for blood, life for life..."
There is only one voice in heaven and earth, in one sentence, fifty people can also step out of the momentum of thousands of troops, and fifty people can also be able to become famous for a long time.
Even if the one standing opposite is Sima Chen, the elite of the Yu family, even if there is a cultivation genius that Liu Lao admires very much, this soldier will not flinch a little.
That's right, the driving force behind this attack is Sima Chen, the best of the Jade family's rookies, a great master who has never looked at these mortals squarely.
He really didn't know where the courage in the hearts of these mortals came from, how could Liuhuo be a madman, how could this madness be contagious? The big madman actually brought out a group of small madmen, and even these mortals who had no combat effectiveness went crazy.
The energy on the ionization ball began to gather, and at this time the blue lightning was not so easily stripped out, and all the energy was concentrated to the front.
"Annoying mortals, I wanted to give you a way to live, but you forced me..."Before he could finish speaking, a violent arc of electricity took away all the energy on the ionization ball and rushed straight to the army.
The crackling electricity bounced on the head, the smell of burnt barbecue was strong and pungent, and more than fifty figures twitched violently, many of them convulsed for half a minute before falling to the ground.
Sima Chen stretched out his hand to cover his nose and looked at the pile of black charcoal in front of him with disgust.
"How stupid are you! I said I would let you go, but I didn't appreciate it..."
With that, a fireball pounced on the wooden plough loaded with grain beside him. And at this moment, a mutation protruded, and a black lightning bolt stabbed straight at Sima Chen's face.
At this time, it was the moment when Sima Chen's spirit was the most relaxed, although the great master was powerful, it was not to the point of god, the battle that had just ended made him uneasy, he knew that it was stimulated by these crazy mortals. It was at this moment that a sudden attack appeared.
It was a pitch-black chain, with a thin chain dragging behind the sharp spear tip, wasn't this the standard equipment of the Skywalker Grab Lock? Sima Chen was very familiar with this thing, and the Yu family had also seized four or five sets of such equipment.
"Oh, there's a fish that slipped through the net? It's still an empty walker, are you forcing me to capture you alive?" Sima Chen's divine sense was extremely powerful, he just turned sideways slightly, and the grip lock flew over close to his neck, and this sneak attack seemed to have completely failed.
"Huh, it's not good..."Sima Chen suddenly shouted.
