Chapter 244: Soldiers Attack Hanzhong!
The cold moon is bleak, and everything is depressed.
Finely sprinkled snow fluttered on the misty streets.
The streets of Hanzhong City were pitch black, and half of the living people were gone. In an attic in the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, a light is like a bean. The dim light of the fire flickered brightly and dimly with the cold wind blowing through the cracks in the windows. It seems to be about to go out in the next moment.
Murong Yan leaned her back against the wall and sat on the soft couch with her legs curled. A pair of bright eyes stared at the light intently, and there was a lot of confusion in his mind.
After yesterday evening's dinner, until just now, she had not seen Zhang Yanbin.
During the day, except for the madman Chu Dongguo, who chatted with her in the channel for a few words, Ma Xiaomeng and Andy only said hello indifferently as in the past, and then hurriedly went offline. I don't know what I'm up to. Even the captain's brother's newly recruited military advisor Sima Yi was nowhere to be found.
In this huge world, it seems that she is the only one left. She had never encountered such a situation, either in reality or in previous missions.
Murong Yan sat for a long time. The figure stood up from the couch in a flash, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes. It was as if some kind of determination had been made.
After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to return to Chang'an overnight and go to the Qin Tomb to have a look. The anomalies on the captain's brother and his teammates came from there, perhaps in that eerie grave. You can find a solution for yourself!
Since returning from Xiangyang City, especially after listening to the hateful Zhou Qi say that he had expelled a demon from his body, this idea has always been rooted in his mind. What I have seen and heard in the past few days has given birth to this idea like a seed.
She couldn't wait any longer, watching her once familiar companions, as well as the captain's brother she had always admired and admired, become more and more abnormal. Getting farther and farther away from yourself.
Murong Yan gently blew out the lights and opened the window. The oncoming snowflakes and frost lifted her spirits.
"Brother, I will definitely find a way, wait for me!"
Thinking about it in her heart, Murong Yan's figure spread, and her slender figure melted into the night, and she disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Not long after Murong Yan left. In the corner of the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, as the air shook, two ghost-like figures silently appeared.
On the left, a slender man dressed in a white robe holds a staff with a ruby at the top. It was Zhang Yanbin, the captain of the dominant squad. The person beside him with a crown and a broad belt, a clear face, and a feather fan inlaid with peacock feathers in his hand is Sima Yi, Zhang Yanbin's new military advisor.
"This actress left at night, her whereabouts are uncertain, and she needs to be chased back, so as not to hinder the master's affairs!" Sima Yi's voice was low and cold. There was no respect for Zhang Yanbin between the words.
"I've already taken care of this matter, and you and I should hurry to the master's side. Measuring her as a mere mortal woman, what kind of waves can she make. ”
Zhang Yanbin looked at the direction in which Murong Yan disappeared, a fierce light flashed in his miserable blue eyes, and his tone was gloomy and cold.
"Humph! You have the best arrangement, don't make any mistakes, otherwise once the master blames it, you and I will not be able to get rid of it! Well, there's one more thing, is it really okay to hand over this place to Andy? ”
"Master Andimon personally gave the empowerment and washed away the soul. At this time, the mana is so strong that even I am jealous of him. Moreover, there are many corpse soldiers under his command to help. Even if the person from the south comes to attack, he can deal with it calmly and without worrying too much. ”
"That's very good, without further ado, you and I'll leave now."
"Well, let's go!" Zhang Yanbin nodded when he heard this. The staff swiped in front of him, summoning a moon-white door of light, and walked in first.
Sima Yi just wanted to raise his feet and enter, and his brows suddenly furrowed!
He raised his head suddenly, and a pair of eyes that were also miserable blue cast into the southeast night sky, revealing a hint of suspicion in his grim gaze.
Just now, he vaguely felt a fluctuation of consciousness coming from a distance. When it was time to examine it closely, the fluctuations became vague and disappeared.
Sima Yi stood still for a moment, swept his divine sense around, and found that he could no longer sense anything. Seeing that the color of the light gate in front of him was dim, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, took out a dark and gloomy thing from his arms, recited the magic in his mouth, and raised his hand to knock it into the ground. Then he lifted his footsteps and stepped into the door.
With the light gate disappearing, the City Lord's Mansion once again returned to its previous dead silence. As if nothing had happened.
Not long after Sima Yi and Zhang Yanbin left.
In the night sky above the City Lord's Mansion, a figure with flying wings on its back was like an elf lightning flashing in the night!
Zhou Qi slowly flapped his flying wings, suspended in the air, a pair of eyes flickering, and his gaze swept inch by inch from the completely illuminated, pitch-black mansion.
Previously, through his spiritual sense, he clearly sensed signs of energy fluctuations here, so he hurried over. However, at this moment, the courtyard below seemed to be the same as the rest of the city, rising completely and silent!
Zhou Qi slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness condensed, and it radiated outward through the center of his eyebrows!
In the energetic vision built in his mind, he saw the vitality of heaven and earth under his feet rolling, and the five elements were disordered. It wasn't that long ago that someone did cast a spell here!
Who could it be?
A trace of doubt flashed in Zhou Qi's eyes. I cast spells in the middle of the night, but there was no explosion of energy. Could it be a space spell?
As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly gathered his divine sense to take a closer look.
This next week's revelation is clear! In the constantly rolling vitality, there are a few faint spatial crack phantoms remaining!
It's teleportation!
Zhou Qi was taken aback! Could it be that Zhang Yanbin found out in advance that he had slipped away?
Wrong!
He came alone, and left the army a hundred miles away, and the possibility of his whereabouts being exposed is very small. Besides, unless he could have known the prophet, how could he know exactly what he would be doing at this point?
Besides, what reason does Zhang Yanbin have to be afraid of himself?
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi put his spiritual sense around. shrouded the entire City Lord's Mansion in his perception range and turned on the energy tracking mode.
The unique field of vision was suddenly filled with red dots large and small representing energy individuals. However, the intensity of the energy is very weak, and it looks like it is not much like that of ordinary soldiers, and there is nothing noteworthy about it.
Zhou Qi took away the ability, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. So you are right? Zhang Yanbin and Sima Yi are indeed not in Hanzhong.
Well, anyway, let's take Hanzhong down first. As long as all the territory controlled by Zhang Yanbin is knocked down in the shortest possible time, see where he can hide!
Zhou Qi's eyes were cold, and he separated a wisp of divine sense to connect the team channel.
"Brother Fu, immediately inform Yueying to get ready and launch an attack at night."
"Did you kid find Miss Zhen Mi?"
"No, but I suspect that Zhang Yanbin has slipped away in advance."
"Well, I'll tell Huang Junshi, you kid take it easy, don't rush over."
Just when Zhou Qi was talking to Fu Yunsheng. It is located in a dead forest in the northeast corner of the city.
Andy, the necromancer, leaned out of the dense pile of bones and looked in the direction of the city, and in his sunken eye sockets, two points of turquoise soul fire pulsed. There was a frenzy in his eyes, and a touch of deep madness.
"Is it finally here? That's nice! ”
Andy's withered, pale face smiled whimily. In the dead woods shrouded in darkness, it looks indescribably infiltrating.
"Wake up! The dead who sleep underground! With the hatred of life, the thirst for blood, uphold the will of Rasma! For me! Your master Andy fights! ”
Andy waved the bone staff in his hand, and as he finished chanting the lengthy incantation in his mouth, black qi poured out from him, spreading like a thick fog in all directions.
A place shrouded in fog. In the rustle of the earth, the sound of crackling bones was dense like rain. In the blink of an eye, the clearing in the forest was crowded with black skeletons!
At the same time, a low roar was heard in all directions. In the cold moonlight, countless staggering figures walked out of the mist. The inner three layers and the outer three layers wrap the entire forest impermeable. The air was filled with a sickening stench.
"Go ahead! Back to the city! This is the city that belonged to you! Soon there will be a lot of fresh flesh to satisfy your thirst! ”
In the woods, Andy's arms wrapped in black cloaks are like madness, wielding a bone staff vigorously!
From the hideous skull at the top of the bone staff, a circle of miserable blue light spread out like a water streak and flowed!
"Roar!"
The originally sluggish figure was illuminated by this green light, just like a rusty machine refilled with oil, and the speed was several times faster than before! With Andy's order, it rushed to the ancient city of Hanzhong like a tide.
At the same time!
After receiving Zhou Qi's summons, with Huang Yueying's order, the Taiping army soldiers who had already assembled and stood by were divided into three routes, led by Zhao Daming and Wei Yan, and went straight to the south gate of Hanzhong City; The left route led by Xia Ruobing and Fu Yunsheng and attacked the West Gate. Huang Yueying and Zhang Dingjun were in charge of the offensive at the East Gate.
With everyone's attribute bonuses, the marching speed of the Taiping soldiers has increased greatly. Although the mountain road is rugged and difficult, it is worth the night. The hundred-mile journey was completed in only half an hour! With the cold moonlight, the city wall of the ancient city of Hanzhong dozens of meters high is already clearly visible!
At this time, from the array behind the Taiping Army, countless fires suddenly lit up.
After the firelight, hundreds of "lanterns" several meters high rose one after another. Under it, the four corners were tied with thick ropes, and the other end was fastened to the chariots and horses that accompanied the army.
The bright firelight is just like the stars in the night, and the four fields are illuminated in an instant!
It is the "Yueying Lantern" specially made by Huang Yueying for night battles according to the ideas provided by Zhou Qi.
As for why it was so named, the reason is very simple. It's not called "Yueying Lantern", is it called "Kong Ming Lantern"? ”
With the "Moon Ray Lantern" rising!
Huang Yueying waved the command flag in her hand downward!
"Siege!"
"Attack! Attack! Attack!
The soldiers of the Taiping Army let out an earth-shattering roar in unison! The three people launched a charge towards Hanzhong at the same time!
