If you were asked to say what is essential in war, the answer that probably comes to everyone's mind is different.

Weapons, numbers, strategy and tactics, morale and bravery......

In fact, from an inclusive point of view, every answer cannot be called "wrong".

And at this moment, for the Ming army, what they urgently need is of course not weapons and equipment, nor logistics supplies...... It's "morale"!

From the initial advantage of thinking that their own side was far outnumbered by the opponent during the siege war, to now being suddenly attacked by several times the enemy, and perhaps more enemies in front and back, the Ming army, which was already low morale and had no faith, suddenly fell into a precursor of panic and collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that the chief's multi-year legacy was still at work...... Perhaps the Ming army would have fallen into a collapse long ago.

In this era when communication and command are extremely inconvenient, once it collapses, it means that no matter how many people, how many weapons and equipment, and how many advantages the collapsed side has, it will be swept away by an endless rout, and it will fall into a chaos and rout that is difficult to quell.

In this era when a single soldier could not understand the real situation on the battlefield at all, and could only judge the situation from his own perspective, the Ming army was by no means the first, nor would it be the last, army that would be defeated by this.

The "militia army" controlled by the white worm frantically attacked the entire Ming army team participating in the siege. The two sides soon stuck together, indistinguishable from each other.

The role of the Ming army's muskets and rebels' bows and arrows began to decrease at this moment, and the most critical role was played by those ancient spears and broadswords.

Commanding behind the battle, and thus avoiding being caught up in the chaos, several Ming army officers were outraged to find that the will to fight of these "people" was unexpectedly tenacious.

Most of them were not strong men or masters of martial arts, but it was these ordinary residents of Pingyang City who showed much more terrifying combat effectiveness than the Ming army in this pure hand-to-hand combat.

An old lady in her sixtieth birthday was stabbed in the abdomen with a spear by a panicked Ming army.

Then, under the watchful eyes of several officers from afar, the old man actually grabbed the spear inserted into her abdomen, and although his face showed a hideous look of pain, he shouted in a sharp voice for the children and grandchildren next to him to take the opportunity to kill the soldier.

After two breaths, the soldier was unable to draw his spear for a while, and the two men, one large and one small, rushed up and smashed their heads with wooden sticks and fell to the ground with their faces covered in blood......

They also saw that there was a soldier with good martial arts in the Ming army, who cut down several people with a Yanling knife, and no one could get close to him for a while, and the soldiers next to him also began to gather towards him.

If this group of soldiers is given some time, maybe they can really organize some people to stabilize their position.

However, at this time, an old man hugged each other with an arm cut off, and in the middle of the entanglement, four or five more people rushed up, and everyone was not afraid of the sword that slashed on the body and knocked the soldier to the ground.

Immediately afterward, a woman in coarse linen clothes in the back carried a laundry mallet and slammed it on the soldier's head!

Scenes like this continue to happen throughout the battlefield.

Ultimately.

Under the attack of these "madmen", the Ming army could not be regarded as a collapse of vigorous momentum.

I don't know where to start, but all the people began to flee, leaving behind their armor, helmets, and even weapons...... Just to run faster and escape from these crazy people!

Several high-ranking members of the Ming army in the distance watched this scene blankly, and finally completely lost the courage to continue fighting.

In the face of such an enemy, everyone understands...... If you don't get away now, I'm afraid that when they catch up, they won't be able to leave!

As the Ming army fled and left, the Ming army under the city wall fell into a complete collapse.

A thick bloody aura spread throughout the battlefield.

Many Ming troops began to surrender on their knees.

And many Ming troops who were lucky enough to flee the battlefield looked back in panic...... Many people saw the fair-skinned and silver-haired boy walking out of the city gate surrounded by a group of elite "anti-thieves".

I don't know why.

At this moment, many Ming soldiers instinctively sensed an extremely strange and dangerous feeling.

The strange white-haired boy was like some kind of unrecognizable demon, exuding an aura that made people's hairs stand on end, and he just wanted to flee quickly......

"Soul." Luo Shen looked at the battlefield stained red with blood everywhere, and looked curiously at the phantoms wandering on countless corpses.

Then.

Several phantoms nearby finally spotted Luo Shen's gaze.

The soldiers, who could not accept the fact that they were dead, tried to touch Roshen when they discovered that they could see them, and made a sound that only souls could hear.

Stood still in front of the soul of a Ming soldier.

Luo Shen looked at the "soldier" with both horror and anger with interest.

"Can't be seen by humans...... It is made up of some kind of energy that is not natural...... This is the soul of man! Roshen stretched out his finger and poked the soldier's soul.

Being touched made the soldier and the other spirits next to him feel excited, and they scrambled to talk about what they wanted to know.

They were intimidating, yelling, or begging Roshen, who seemed to be able to explain it all to them, to help them.

Answer their questions after they die.

"Mother...... I can't die! I still have a 70-year-old mother at home...... Please, you must be an immortal, right? Please help me! A Ming soldier knelt in front of Luo Shen.

"Why am I here? Is this a battlefield? I was killed? Why? "Most of the souls that have been programmed with false memories by the white worm hesitate to hover over their corpses, seemingly unable to believe the fact that they have been killed. There are many who don't even figure out why they want to go to war.

Seeing this scene, Luo Shen narrowed his eyes: "Sure enough, the memories and loyalty fabricated by the 'White Worm' can only affect the brain and not the soul?" Hehe......"

At this time, seeing that the white-haired boy in front of him who could see them ignored them, some irritable souls finally couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out their hands to Luo Shen: "Damn! Tell me how it takes to come back to life! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will strangle you! ”

Look at the soldier who stretched his hand to his neck.

Luo Shen suddenly laughed and said, "Just as you wanted to taste it, you sent it to the door." ”

said.

Luo Shen bit down on the big man's outstretched translucent palm.

Tear ——!

The big man's palm suddenly lost a small piece - after all, Luo Shen's form was only the size of a child, and his delicate mouth couldn't bite much, otherwise he wouldn't have to bite into it in small bites when he ate frozen meat in his room.

However, it was this mouthful that made the big man cover his palms in pain, and took a few steps back in fear, with a painful and fearful look on his face: "You, you, you ......"

But Luo Shen ignored him.

He continued to chew a few times before swallowing the soul substance in his mouth.

"It's like jelly~" he said.

Of course, others don't know what jelly he is talking about.

The subordinates of the living were a little confused, but the souls of the dead looked in horror at this white-haired boy who could not only see them, but also wanted to eat them.

After swallowing that small piece of soul, Luo Shen felt it for a while, and found that sure enough, the talent of 'everything for food' had worked, so that this small piece of soul was also digested by him into pure energy that could be used for him to grow his body or hoard.

Although this kind of energy is different from the energy converted by ordinary food, it is obvious that for Luo Shen, who has the ability to 'feed on everything', this energy can also be absorbed and is more advanced.

After silently converting it in my heart.

Roshen came to a conclusion - "Twenty times higher than beef!" ”

said.

His eyes were on the souls of the battlefield......
