Chapter 349: The Heroes Gather
When Liu Bang disappeared from the void, the dark moonlit night suddenly seemed even more silent. The soldiers who blocked the main roads around the streets were all shocked, how could the people who had been standing well before disappear in an instant, and after this disappearance, they never reappeared.
The smile that roamed the corners of his mouth also froze slightly, his face became slightly solemn, and his fingers pinched the hard kernel. He was embarrassed now, feeling that his face was quite unbearable, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to secretly resentment in his heart, "Liu Bang old horseman! Why are you so shameless! It's just a treacherous and slippery! What about the 10 steps? What about your ten steps? The figures are gone! Now, my senior deputy marshal I am famous! β
Just when Roaming looked embarrassed, his heart was entangled, and the atmosphere was suddenly about to fall into a dead silence, a rush of footsteps came from a distance, breaking everyone's silence. Roaming subconsciously turned around, saw several soldiers running anxiously, and then knelt in front of Roaming, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Report to the senior deputy marshal!" Big things are wrong! β
"What's going on again?" Roaming asked with a serious face and a calm expression, but he was secretly happy in his heart, "Oops, you guys came too soon." Come on, give me an earth-shattering piece of news to take everyone's attention away! As long as you don't have anything to do with Liu Bang's traitor anymore, I really don't want to see him. Say! Say! β
"Report to the senior lieutenant! After you left, Xiang Yu suddenly appeared, with thousands of fiery feather eagles, and invaded the head of Lingcheng! β
"What ???" Hearing this, Roaming subconsciously exclaimed, only to feel that he wanted to spurt blood in his heart. - Lingcheng, Nancheng District. The flaming eagle that had infiltrated the mausoleum alone was soaring high in the sky, and suddenly its keen eagle eye seemed to sense something, so it stopped flapping its wings, and swooped down from the air with its wings open, landing on the roof of a huge barn.
The warehouse is located in the area behind the private house buildings in the southern city of Lingcheng, it is a relatively hidden place, it is difficult to see here from the outside, but the fierce feather eagle flies in the air, and the eagle eyes are extremely keen, and all the houses and buildings in the city are scanned by it, and there is nothing to hide.
There are three large warehouses with earth and stone structures gathered in total, which was originally the place where Lingcheng built to put the agricultural machinery of the people of the city, so the warehouse was built very large, and the area of the three warehouses is enough to cover an area of one kilometer, which can put half of the agricultural machinery in Lingcheng. And now, even the once prosperous mausoleum city is now empty, everything is in ruins, a miserable and desolate scene, and this warehouse is even more deserted.
But this empty room is meaningful to the 250,000 expeditionary troops stationed in Lingcheng, and it can be used as an arsenal for the army to put weapons. And now the southern part of Lingcheng is inhabited by the magic guide soldiers, siege vehicle soldiers and super soldiers of the expeditionary army. As a result, the three large warehouses were used to house the Demon Staff, the siege vehicle, and the Super Soldier Mecha.
The flaming eagle slipped from the sky and landed on the roof of the barn, gathered its wings, and stood silently, and no one would have noticed that there was an eagle standing here under the cover of the great darkness of the night. Suddenly, a light purple halo of light poured out from the void around the Feathered Eagle, piercing the silent night. The halo condensed into a light purple transparent shield, and the light and darkness, shape and color in the space around the shield were distorted and blended, and the boundaries of space were pulled apart, and another identical light purple shield appeared from it.
The outstretched fingers lightly dotted the surface of the shield, and both shields immediately dissolved into a light purple halo of energy and flowed back into his body. Liu Bang fluttered his purple cloak and appeared in the dark night, he looked around the three huge warehouses on the ground, and then leaned down and reached out to stroke the feathers of the feathered eagle.
"It's hard for you, Feather Eagle. I really found it so quickly......" Liu Bang looked at the fierce feathered eagle standing on the ground while being silent while guarding the surroundings with his eagle eyes, and whispered to it, "Your mission tonight should be over." Then Liu Bang stood up and looked into the distance through the dark curtain of the night, his eyes slightly condensed.
"The rest depends on whether Zhang Liang can rush back in time...... And, Xiang Yu's grasp is there. Xiang Yu clasped his hands, faced the whole city, and stood firmly on the head of Lingcheng. The song of the clouds slowly drifted through the air, becoming the deepest background music in the mausoleum at this moment. The cold moonlight sprinkled in the night, sprinkling Xiang Yu's lion's bearded blue hair in the wind, sprinkling Xiang Yu's shoulders wearing heavy gold armor, sprinkling the three-foot overlord blade held in Xiang Yu's hand, and sprinkling Xiang Yu's firm and solemn figure.
And a heavy black cloud pressed down from above his head, with the momentum of covering the sky and the moon - that black cloud was actually the more than 2,400 flaming eagles flying with the city card. At this moment, they had already flown over the head of the hundred-meter-high Lingcheng City, and then slowed down the force of their wings and slowly flew down from the sky. Because of the huge number and heavy momentum, it does look like a huge black cloud pressed down by a volley.
On the ground behind the gate of Lingcheng, some soldiers stood scattered, tilting their heads and staring silently at the large group of fiery feathered eagles that slowly flew down from the sky. They were not the guards tonight, but the soldiers who were supposed to rest and sleep, but they couldn't sleep at night, and they heard the constant noise in the city tonight, and felt anxious, so they got up and walked to the city gate to inspect, and as soon as they came, they saw such a shocking scene of flying eagles in the sky and Xiang Yu ascending the city.
This is something they have never seen before, and they are at a loss at all, just staring blankly at this strange and powerful scene, and occasionally a few clever people react, and immediately run to the center of the city, to find the high deputy marshal and the night watchman.
And that huge "black cloud" also fell inch by inch towards the city with time. It is much less laborious to fall than to fly, so the time for the flaming feather eagles to descend from the sky is much faster, and it only takes half the time when they go to the city, which is only ten minutes, and more than 2,400 flaming feather eagles fall to the ground with a total weight of fifty or sixty tons.
When they left the ground, it was more than a thousand flaming eagles below that took their straight heads first, withdrew the force given to the city card, and flapped their wings and quickly flew away from below. Then, at this last moment, the more than 1,000 feathered eagles above took a little more neck and slowly approached the ground with the city cards, and then they let go of their claws that were grasping the city cards, flapped their wings and flew up, and threw the one hundred and seventeen city cards on the ground.
After completing the most critical and heaviest task tonight, more than 2,000 flaming eagles fluttered their wings with ease, and soared to a height of 100 meters, hovering in the sky above Xiang Yu's head. "Thank you for your hard work...... Your mission for tonight has been completed, go back......" Xiang Yu looked up at the more than two thousand fiery feather eagles and said to them in a loud voice.
The feathered eagles apparently understood their commander's words, flapped their wings freely, and flew away lightly towards the night sky outside the mausoleum. After watching the feathered eagles fly away in the night, Xiang Yu turned his head and looked down at the bottom of the mausoleum with a solemn expression. I saw one hundred and seventeen city signs scattered on the ground, almost covering the whole "Thank you for your hard work" behind the city gate...... Your mission for tonight has been completed, go back......" Xiang Yu looked up at the more than two thousand fiery feather eagles and said to them in a loud voice.
The feathered eagles apparently understood their commander's words, flapped their wings freely, and flew away lightly towards the night sky outside the mausoleum. After watching the feathered eagles fly away in the night, Xiang Yu turned his head and looked down at the bottom of the mausoleum with a solemn expression. I saw one hundred and seventeen city signs scattered on the ground, covering almost the entire open space behind the city gate.
And the soldiers who were standing on the side watched the sky full of flaming feathered eagles throwing so many heavy wooden signs all over the ground, and they were stunned and shocked. Their minds were in a mess now, and they couldn't figure out why the large group of flaming feather eagles flew into the city so vigorously, and then threw down a bunch of wooden cards and flew away, and they couldn't figure out why the enemy had gone to great lengths to transport so many black wooden cards to the city, and they couldn't figure out why Xiang Yu had to come alone and stand high above the cityβhe didn't want to challenge the military strength of more than 200,000 people in a city alone!
Thinking about it, the soldiers felt that the last idea was too terrifying and unrealistic, but when they raised their eyes and looked up at the majestic figure of Xiang Yu standing on the hundred-meter city wall, they felt a kind of overlord aura as deep as a mountain stone but as fierce as a lion and tiger pressing in the air, shocking them with unparalleled power, making them almost out of breath.
Bowing their heads, the soldiers immediately lowered their heads, they didn't dare to look directly at Xiang Yu who was domineering at this moment, yes, that was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu who shocked Qin and Chu! Xiang Yu stood on top of the city, unreservedly releasing his own domineering spirit, the wind in the night became more and more urgent, like a violent wind, Xiang Yu's lion-haired blue hair was blown into a messy dance, and Xiang Yu lowered his head, dimmed his eyes, and let his hair dance in the wind.
Suddenly, the golden light in Xiang Yu's pupils flashed, and he suddenly raised his blue-haired messy head, facing the entire mausoleum, opened his mouth, and let out a roar that shocked the heavens and the earth!
"Overlord Roars !!" The roar that shook the sky shook the whole city, and the sound waves condensed with the berserk demon blue energy penetrated every house and every wall in the city, and with a powerful domineering spirit, it woke up all the soldiers in the city. Xiang Yu, he just wants to face the 250,000 army in the city alone! At the same time, in the valley two or three miles away from the back gate of the Mausoleum City, Bai Qi led the 100,000 Janissaries ordered from the Xianyang Palace City to stop here, making the last rest before entering the Mausoleum City, and in another four or five miles, they could successfully reach the destination of the day and night in these days-Mausoleum.
The ghost leopard, as black as the shadow of the night, crouched quietly on the ground, relaxing its limbs and muscles to rest, and even didn't bother to open its dark green eyes, so it simply slid to sleep. It seems that it is quite tired, and yes, it has been a huge consumption for ten days and nights. And leopards have always been invincible to endurance, even ghost leopards, no exception. Bai Qi, who was covered in war demon armor and held a dark gold scythe in his hand, stood silently next to the ghost leopard. The four eyes looked through the eyepiece of the battle helmet and looked at the mausoleum not far away through the thick night. In fact, it is only four or five miles away, and you can walk it all in one breath, and then enter the mausoleum, at this time, there is really no need to stop the army and rest. But that's how Bai Qi ordered, he was the boss, and no one dared to disobey his orders.
After Bai got up, Zhong Wuyan and Arthur each stood aside, relaxing and resting, but they couldn't figure out why they suddenly stopped to rest at this time. As for the 100,000 Praetorian Guards brought out from Xianyang Palace, they followed closely behind a few generals, hidden in the thick night, and stretched a long line This is also a white order, for fear that there will be an ambush trap, so when approaching the Lingcheng, he ordered that no one should be allowed to light the light, in case the hidden enemy finds out the whereabouts of the army.
And at this moment, Bai Qi only stood on the ground, silently staring at the mausoleum not far away, the night was too dark, and there was a battle helmet to cover it, no one could see his complicated expression clearly.
After half a ring, Bai Qi finally spoke. "Zhong Wuyan." Bai raised his head and shouted without looking back.
"Huh?" Zhong Wuyan was startled by Bai Qi's sudden shout, and was stunned for a moment before quickly saying, "What are you doing?" β
"Go, the Praetorian Guard is divided into two groups, and you lead half of the army, 50,000 people, and stay here." Bai Qi said in a deep voice, and shouted, "Arthur." β
"Yes." Arthur responded immediately. "You follow me and bring the other 50,000 people into the mausoleum." Bai Qi continued.
"What? Why? Before Arthur could speak, Zhong Wuyan couldn't help but be surprised, "Why do you want to divide the army?" We are already so close to Lingcheng, just a few steps away, you just had to stop the army to rest, and now you have to divide the army. Alas, are you brainbroken? β
"Zhong Wuyan! Now it's on the battlefield, I'm the commander of the first army, don't don't understand the rules at all! Bai Qi shouted sharply. Zhong Wuyan was immediately frightened, to be honest, she was still very afraid of Bai Qi in her heart, this person was a crazy person in her bones, and she didn't want to provoke at all.
"Yes, yes, I owe. But you have to give a reason. Zhong Wuyan's tone weakened a little, but he was still puzzled. Yes! Commander Bai Qi, as the commander of the First Army, but we are also the generals of the Allied Army, so we should know your marching ideas. Arthur also said solemnly.
"Because I think the current Lingcheng is a little strange......" Bai Qi said in a deep voice, and did not hide anything, "The letter passed to me by Roaming said that when they came to Lingcheng, this was an empty city, and there was not the slightest figure of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and they entered Lingcheng without a single soldier...... I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I always feel that there's something wrong with it......"
"Xiang Yu, why did they give up the Mausoleum City that they had taken away from you with great difficulty, and then give it to us empty?" Bai Qi pondered and said, "It's really strange here!" β
When Bai Qi said this, Arthur and Zhong Wuyan were also puzzled, and they didn't know what to say for a while. "However, judging from the situation in the past ten days since roaming them and entering the Mausoleum City, everything is fine, and there is no big problem, this is ...... It's hard to think about. I don't know exactly what happened to the city, but I decided that it would be better to divide the army into two groups before entering the city. Bai Qi said nothing, and looked back at Arthur and Zhong Wuyan.
And Bai Qi said so, of course, Arthur and Zhong Wuyan had nothing to object, so they silently agreed with Bai Qi's decision at the moment.
So, Arthur and Zhong Wuyan immediately went to divide the 100,000 Praetorian Guards into two batches, and after a period of rectification, the 100,000 Praetorian Guards were neatly separated. Then, Zhong Wuyan led 50,000 of them to stay in the canyon covered by night, while Bai Qi and Arthur rushed towards the mausoleum with another 50,000 people.
Before leaving, Bai Qi ordered Zhong Wuyan: "You take 50,000 Praetorian Guards to guard here secretly, if we encounter any accidents when we enter the city tonight, I will find a way to inform you, and then you lead the army to raid and support, if you are safe overnight, I will personally come to lead you into the city tomorrow...... Also, the corpse demons are all left with you, and I fed them Bian Que's medicine, as long as they don't irritate them, they won't go berserk for a short time. β
Then, Bai Qi rode on the ghost leopard, and Arthur rushed out of the canyon with 50,000 Praetorian Guards, crossed the wide plain outside the back gate of the Lingcheng, and quickly arrived at the back gate of the Lingcheng.
