Zhou Yu looked in the direction pointed by Xu Chu, and really saw a strange scene.

At the door of the room, there were two corpses, one in front and one in the back, and the one in front looked like a soldier from the way he was dressed. The extremely cold weather in the north preserved his posture and expression before his death.

He bent one leg and turned his upper body to look at the corpse behind him, his face full of fear, and his two fingers inserted into the two eye sockets of the black hole.

That's right.

Because behind him was a skeleton, white and boneless, without a trace of flesh, and in the skeleton's hand there was still a bone dagger. The soldier was stabbed in the spine by the bone dagger and died.

"General Zhou Yu, it's freezing this day, don't say that the corpse that just died, even the corpse from a month ago may be able to maintain its original freshness, but look at this corpse, why is there only Sensen white bones left." Xu Chu has been in the army for so many years, he has fought elves and beheaded evil Jiao with the emperor, but he has never seen such a strange thing.

Zhou Yu dismounted, walked over to the two corpses, and gently pushed the white bones away.

"It's so strange, this white bone doesn't even have half of the flesh and bones, as if it has been shaved clean, what kind of person has such a ...... Knife technique? Zhou Yu turned around and looked at Xu Chu, he didn't understand very much.

When he turned around, he didn't look behind him at all, but he didn't know that two purple flames suddenly ignited in the hollow eye sockets of the white bones that he overturned, and he quietly pulled out the bone knife on the ground and stood up.

"General Xu, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yu saw that Xu Chu suddenly had an unbelievable expression on his face, and he didn't know why.

"What's that!!" The soldiers behind Xu Chu also exclaimed.

The white bone skeleton stood up, raised the dagger in his hand high, and stabbed it hard at Zhou Yu's spine.

"General Zhou Yu be careful!!" Xu Chu flew and pulled Zhou Yu back, and then punched the skeleton's body.

Bang.

Crunch, squeak. The skeletons scattered all over the place.

"What ...... this?" Zhou Yu hadn't reacted yet, because when he turned around, the skeleton had been beaten to pieces by Xu Chu, and he didn't see it.

Xu Chu took a deep breath and pointed ahead.

"Squeak, squeak."

"Squeak, squeak."

The dead corpses suddenly burst open, and a skeleton came out of the **, as if it had shed a skin and gained a new life.

Crunch, squeak.

The sound is getting louder and louder, and there are actually skeletons in half the city!!

Everywhere the eye can see, there is a white bone.

"Suck ...... Oh, my God! Xu Chu gasped again.

Zhou Yu also swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Could it be that the people and soldiers of this entire city have become these skeletons?" ”

"Ahh

There was a commotion from the 50,000 army behind Zhou Yu, and when he looked back, he saw only that the corpses on the side of the road had now turned into skeletons, and these skeletons were holding various weapons in their hands.

A skeleton in front of Zhou Yu looked at his hands, which were empty, and then pulled off his thigh bone. Then one of his centers of gravity became unstable and fell to the ground.

The skeleton seemed to know that it couldn't use its thigh bone as a weapon, so it stuffed it back in, then pulled one of its ribs off and weighed it in his hand.

"They have wisdom, but they are not wise. The whole army withdrew from the town. ”

The two major barracks of the Red Flame Army and the Tiger Guard Army gathered together at this time to break through outside the town.

"They can't seem to be killed."

A soldier shouted, and a skeleton slit his throat, blood spilling all over the ground.

Something even weirder happened.

As soon as the soldier took a breath, he saw his body explode with a thud, and then a white bone came out of his body, picked up the special big knife made by the Tang Guohu Guard Camp on the ground, and tilted his head in confusion.

Then he saw the panicked army, and the two purple flames in his eyes jumped incomparably, as if he was very excited.

Squeak, squeak, holding a big knife and rushing over.

Zhou Yu knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Charge into a charge, exit the town!" ”

The biggest characteristic of the soldiers of the Tang State is that they began to receive militarized ideological education and practice from an early age, and under the strict militarized management, they formed a conditioned reflex, and when the general gave an order, no matter how panicked, he would reflexively carry out the order.

"Kill!"

The Red Flame Army and the Tiger Guards gathered in a formation were like sharp arrows, rushing out of the town with lightning speed. Although a few hundred warriors were also left, the large force had already rushed to a place where there were no corpses.

At this time, Zhou Yu turned his head to look at the town, only to see that the city walls, the streets, and the houses were all wandering skeletons.

The town of Cole, which originally belonged to the kingdom of the Chronicles, is now the kingdom of skeletons.

"What the hell is this? It's scary. ”

"Yes, we can turn our brother into such an evil creature."

The soldiers talked a lot, but Zhou Yu and Xu Chu didn't have palpitations?

"I have been with my lord for four years, and I have fought many battles, and in the depths of my mind, it seems that there have been more battles, but I have never seen anything like this." Xu Chu looked at the town full of bones, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Zhou Yu didn't speak, obviously frightened, he made a decision on the spot.

"The whole army retreats, return home!"

Xu Chu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally took a deep breath.

Waved the army north, walked once, lost 5,000 people on the way, and lost another thousand in the town. Now that it is withdrawn, it is estimated that thousands of people will be lost after a long journey.

This battle seems to have been completely defeated, and one-fifth of the soldiers have been sacrificed without much fighting.

Moreover, it is also particularly aggrieved.

However, is Zhou Yu wrong?

"General Zhou Yu, it seems that our battle is very lost, and we haven't even entered a town." Xu Chu was a little disappointed.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly, the weirdness of this Cole Town is that it can turn our dead soldiers into skeletons and then fight against us." If we continue to fight with them, we will inevitably annihilate the whole army. It is better to retreat now, discuss with the military advisors, or wait for the emperor to return and ask the emperor to decide. ”

Xu Chu nodded: "Well, the emperor knows more than us, maybe he knows what these creatures are." However, on the side of Cao Taishou and General Zhao, there are 100,000 troops. Now that they can't be notified, what should I do? ”

Zhou Yu smiled, waved his hand and said, "If Cao Taishou didn't go this time, I would definitely be worried, since he went, I don't have to worry." He is good at everything, but he is suspicious and cautious enough, and if the situation is not right, he will definitely withdraw immediately, and maybe when we go back, he will already be waiting for us. ”

……

After Zhou Yu led the army away, on the wall of Cole Town, which was full of skeletons, a man in a black robe walked up, he looked at the Tang army that had already gone away, and the purple flames in his eyes fanned violently.

"Tang Guo? It doesn't seem like a good deal to deal with, hey...... I'm still too anxious, if I had just put some more of them in, I might have left even more. ”

The black-robed man beckoned, and the hundreds of skeletons formed by Tang soldiers came to him, standing neatly in a phalanx, with a solemn aura, their bones seemed to be haunted by a fluorescent, exuding colorful light.

"The soul is righteous, and the bones are full of divine light. Perfect! It's perfect! If there was such a large army, it would not be so troublesome to unify the Northwest Continent at that time. ”
