Chapter 343: Border City Crisis

—ten days later—"So, how are the soldiers...... "Roaming asked quietly, munching on a green apple.

At dusk, Roaming sat under the gazebo, leaning his head against the white horse, and the red glow of the setting sun pulled the white horse and him out of a long shadow.

"It's not going well......" said the officers of the various regiments as they stood around the roaming side, their voices low to him. A few days ago, the problems that had been found out by those teams of soldiers in the mausoleum had inadvertently spread among the army. Now, the whole army knows that there is a shortage of food in Lingcheng, the fields are deserted, and there is a suspected disaster...... The soldiers who originally belonged to Lingcheng were very worried about the situation of their relatives and friends, and wondered what had happened in Lingcheng in the past three years, while other soldiers couldn't help but worry about the safety of their relatives in their hometown when they saw that such an important city as Lingcheng had suffered strange changes. In addition, in the past ten consecutive days, the song of the clouds that does not know the source has been fluttering throughout the mausoleum, arousing the strong feelings of many soldiers who miss their homeland and relatives - now, a variety of factors have come into play, and everyone's mood is quite low, in short, the situation is not optimistic......"

"Because of the low mood, everyone's appetite is also very poor, and there is a lot of leftover from the cooking order today...... Also, many soldiers hope that Deputy Marshal Gao can write to His Majesty and ask if Lingcheng, and even the entire Qin and Chu, in the past three years, is it good? "Everyone is now tormented by longing and confusion, they are very anxious and excited, yesterday some people even wanted to escape from the city, flee back to their hometown to see the situation, we found out in time and caught back." "Alright...... I see, so be it. The soldiers wanted to continue, but Roaming immediately stopped them with a wave of his hand, swallowed the chewed apple in his mouth, and sighed silently in his heart, but he was in no mood to complain again. Belch...... Senior Vice Marshal, don't we have to do something? The current situation is very bad, everyone's mood is low, and the military spirit of the entire army is weakened, and the military spirit is the most critical thing for the entire army! "That's right! If nothing else, I'll have to find out where this cloud song came from! Singing for ten days in a row, it must have been done by people, and besides, the two armies we sent out to investigate the situation last time have not come back until now, and no one is missing, so in such a strange situation, we should send more troops out of the city to find out the matter! ”

"That's right! Should be checked! I've heard that the two armies we sent lost word after entering the mountains and forests along the city, and there must be ghosts in the mountains...... Also, after Xiang Yu and them abandoned the city and left, we have not known their whereabouts, so in such a short time, where can they go? In my opinion, they must have stayed in the mountains and forests, singing songs to affect the hearts of our troops, and ambushing and killing the army we sent to investigate! ”

"That's right! It must be them, Deputy Marshal Gao, the last general thinks that we should immediately organize heavy troops, surround the mountains and forests, attack inward in an all-round way, and wipe out Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in one fell swoop! Several corps generals became excited at once, and roamed one after another, as if they were eager to immediately lead their troops towards the mountains and forests. For more than ten days, they have been listening to the song of the clouds that are fluttering, but after all, they are generals, and their hearts are much more mature than most soldiers. Listening to this fluttering song of the clouds, the first thing they thought of was conspiracy, so the more they listened, the more irritated they became, especially in the next few days, watching the soldiers' mood gradually decline, the more they felt that they could no longer let things develop like this, so the generals united and suggested that roaming take a tight "I know...... But we can't act rashly, and Bai Qi said that we can't go to war lightly until he arrives. Roaming silently chewed on the green apple, and once again waved his hand to stop the few generals who wanted to continue the proposal.

"Senior Vice Marshal, please listen to our words...... but several generals are still in a desperate mood and unwilling to stop." I said I got it......" Roaming looked up at them and said again helplessly, "Wait for Boss Bai Qi to arrive, and then he will make a decision." The generals obviously didn't want it to end there, but none of them dared to offend the roaming anymore...... Although the wanderer is very easy, never angry, and not majestic, in the end he is the deputy commander of the first army, no matter what reason, he must be respected. So several generals no longer insisted, listened to Roaming's words, sighed a few times, and then turned and left.

The rest of the roaming person sat under the gazebo on a white horse, his eyes faintly revealing a little confusion. "Xiang Yu Liu Bang...... What the hell do you two old thieves want to do? As the sun set, the crimson sunset shone over the top of the mountain, staining the rocks and brown earth, as well as the messy black mane on the black mane. It was a tall steed, with limbs as strong as an ox, black and translucent, and the strange thing was that it had sharp claws on its four hooves, and its mouth was open to reveal all the sharp teeth like blades. It stood proudly in the setting sun, its mane fluttering in the mountain wind, and its body exuded a calm and restrained beast murderous aura like a tiger and a leopard. Wu Hu, this natural strange horse is called Wu Hu, it is Xiang Yu's mount beast.

At this moment, Wu Yu stood in the hunting wind on the top of the mountain and roared, and Xiang Yu was also standing beside it at this moment, with a solemn expression on the lion's hair and blue hair that was blown by the hunting wind. "Isn't there any news that Zhang Liang and Mulan have returned?" "Not ...... yet" Liu Bang stood at the other corner of the mountaintop, looking beyond the sky dyed red by the setting sun, "I have already sent someone to sneak out of the underground passage of the mausoleum city to the back gate to investigate...... There is no "It's been ten days...... Xiang Yu looked anxious, and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Liang said that ten days later is a good time to implement the plan, but the implementation of this plan must have him ......" "Well, if the original plan is not successful, Zhang Liang himself must implement the backup plan!" Liu Bang said, his eyes couldn't help revealing a little anxious. You've got all the back-up plans ready, right? Xiang Yu asked. Well, the front gate and the back gate, I'm ready...... As long as Zhang Liang arrives, we can implement the battle plan. Liu Bang replied, "I also think that tonight is the best time...... Unfortunately, he hasn't made it back yet. Xiang Yu calmed down and didn't speak again, he was really unwilling to give up tonight's opportunity, Bai Qi had not yet arrived in Lingcheng, this was a godsend for their plan. There are many dreams at night, who can say when they will arrive when they are innocent? Therefore, we must seize the time and opportunity.

However, if there was no Zhang Liang here, the reserve plan would not be implemented, and if there was any accident during the period, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang would have made all the preparations they had made in the past month, and in the end, they would have to face a head-on battle with the enemy's 250,000 troops. So, it's really hard to choose.

At the same time, Zhang Lianghua Mulan was riding the second gray on the last section of the road to Lingcheng, step by step, inch by inch, grasping every minute and every second. The red glow of the setting sun on the top of the mountain gradually darkened and dimmed, the clouds disappeared in the sky, and the stars began to flicker and flicker. At night, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were still standing on the top of the mountains, waiting for Zhang Lianghua Mulan's return.

To be precise, they have even prepared all the operational deployments, and it is really only Zhang Liang who owes it. Under the starry night dome, the mountain breeze is unnaturally cool, and the scene is a mess. For more than ten days in a row, the wild monsters and monsters in the forest have become extremely irritable and belligerent, as if they have been stimulated by some heavenly calling, so that the savage beasts sleeping in their bloodlines have exploded wantonly. As a result, wild monster fights in the forest began to occur frequently, gradually, even to the extent of causing damage to the environment.

However, these are not the most terrible, the most terrible things are still ...... Yu Ji found that some wild monsters and monsters had already begun to try to cross the desolate realm and enter the area planned by humans...... And this will become the fuse of a bloody war.

And Yu Ji, she always stayed under this big tree, but she no longer played the piccolo, she knew that the person was not in the city outside the ancient land, he went far away, and could not hear her flute.

"Military urgent letter: King Yuchu, in the past ten days, for some reason, the wild monsters and monsters in the ancient land suddenly became agitated, and several wild monsters attacked people outside Longshun City one after another, and many high-level wild monsters appeared and wandered near the border city defense line, and even tried to rush into the border defense wall, but they were all killed by the border city defense towers one after another. Although, the wild monsters and monsters that appear every day only increase, and the roars of countless wild monsters and monsters gradually echo in the ancient land day and night......

The last general knew that the king of Chu led the troops to fight a decisive battle in Lingcheng, the form was severe, the pressure was huge, and he did not dare to disturb easily, but after a few days of observation by the end general, he found that the wildness of the ancient land was indeed increasing day by day, and it was very likely that a large number of wild monsters and monsters would invade the city soon, and most of the defenders in my Longshun City were transferred to the inner battlefield, and the troops were very empty, relying only on the defensive wall cast with the original defense tower, I am afraid it was difficult to resist the attack of a large number of wild monsters and monsters......

If all this happens, the last general really doesn't know how to complete the Ancheng entrustment of the king of Chu before leaving, so he uses this urgent letter to ask the king of Chu's opinion, how should we deal with it?

Hereby, Zhong Lifubi. Xiang Yu quickly read the letter, read it back a few times, and then looked at the starry black night dome with a frown, with a solemn expression, "It's not good, something happened in the border city." "-Ancient Land--In the ancient and secluded forest, the wild monsters and monsters rushed and roared one after another. This untouched pure land seems to have lost its original peace and harmony.

Hundreds of volcanic pigs, large and small, ran wildly in the forest, their crimson eyes and aimless, but more than wild. When they didn't have time to turn, they crashed directly into the trees, and with the flames repelled from their bodies, they smashed the towering ancient trees that had grown for hundreds of years, and as for their feet, they naturally trampled the ground unscrupulously, and the heat on their hooves burned a large area of green grass.

But they rushed madly in the direction of the wilderness, rushing in groups, and the hot steam rose from their hot backs, and gathered into a billowing white mist in the forest. The man in the dragon mask hides behind an ancient tree and watches as the hordes of volcanic pigs roar and dash wildly past them. He collected his voice, and even held his breath, not in fear, but in the ancient land he was setting foot on...... It's a little too messy. The white mist of billowing steam obscured much of the forest, and a group of gray-yellow figures rushed out of the white mist.

One by one, wild hyenas with razor-sharp fangs leapt out of the white mist and flew on the running volcanic pigs, their sharp claws tearing through the rough skin of the volcanic pigs, and then, with their fierce pupils, they bit down fiercely on the fat pig's back meat with a mouthful of fierce fangs. At the same time, more than a dozen fiery fanged hyenas quickly pounced on different volcanic pigs, and a dozen crazy roars immediately turned into terrifying screams.

The fiery fanged hyena is quite a fierce beast, and it is attacked in groups, and the volcanic pigs do not dare to be hostile to it at all, so they can only spread their feet and run wildly, but their speed can not be compared with the fiery fanged hyena at all, so they are all attacked by the fiery fanged hyena to the ground, and they cannot escape, only those volcanic pigs that are running in front and have not been pounced by the fiery fanged hyena, taking advantage of the gap between the other pigs being bitten, and frantically fleeing forward. The remaining volcanic pigs, which had been bitten to the ground by the fanged hyenas, screamed and instinctively took protective measures, their bodies frantically repelling flames, and billowing steam rising from their backs. Billowing steam surged in their mouths, but the fanged hyenas didn't just bite the volcanic pigs, and the stinking pig blood continued to flow down their throats along the fangs. As for the flames that came out of the volcanic pigs, although they were scorching, they still couldn't force back the crimson killing intent in the eyes of the fanged hyenas, so they kept biting the volcanic pigs under their mouths to death under the scorching flames, until the volcanic pigs could no longer release flames and steam from their bodies, and they began to frantically tear the fat flesh of the volcanic pigs.

At this moment, a layer of cold ice spread silently on the ground, freezing the dead bodies of the volcanic pigs, and through their remains, the chill instantly invaded the fiery fanged hyenas that were eating the corpses of the volcanic pigs. The fiery fanged hyenas who frantically tore at each other with their red eyes didn't have time to swallow large pieces, and they were frozen into ice dogs without realizing it, and they were silently frozen in the full cold killing intent. An ice-blue pheasant stands alone under a towering ancient tree, with a feather of condensed ice crystals, a beak like an ice pick, and a cold that exudes incompatibility with the secluded forest. It stood still, a pure ice blue, but with two small red eyes. It was its silent cry that summoned the ice, froze the volcanic pig carcasses and the fanged hyenas that tore at them. Han Bingzhi critted softly twice, and watched all the volcanic pigs and fiery fanged hyenas in front of him freeze into ice, so he stretched out his small paws and stepped forward. But as soon as it stepped out, a golden ape turned into a tree vine and rushed from the air, rushing towards the petite and upright cold ice child. The moment it caught up, it slammed a large thick fist, and with a single punch, it knocked the cold ice childish into a huge boulder in the distance, smashing into a blur of ice and flesh and blood.
