Chapter 22: Target Luoyang City (1)
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms world, outside the Bishui Pass, in the camp of Zhang Liaojun.
A loud trumpet sounded from the lookout next to the camp gate, and a large number of soldiers came out of the tents, and then came to the earthen platform behind the wooden wall with bows and arrows, only to see a troop of tens of thousands moving towards the camp from the direction of Bishui Pass. However, the speed of this force is not fast, and it is estimated that there is still more than an hour before coming to the camp, but at this time, the defenders on the earthen platform are not very good. Although the distance between the two sides was still very far, the defenders could still vaguely see the appearance of the enemy army, the undead legion, the army composed of the corpses of their own comrades.
In the main account, Zhang Liao listened to the report of his subordinates, and his face was like ashes at this time. In the previous battle, it was obvious that under that kind of offensive, it would take about another hour or two to capture Bishui Pass, and it was because of this that he ordered the soldiers to attack the city continuously for a few days before the loss, otherwise it was estimated that the number of soldiers would be killed several times by virtue of the danger of Bishui Pass. However, most of these soldiers were private soldiers recruited from the Hao clan, so even if Zhang Liao was killed in battle, he would not feel a pity. But these soldiers who died in battle are now on their feet, and what is even more outrageous is that they have become enemy troops, raising butcher knives towards their comrades. And the most terrifying thing is that even if these soldiers are killed, they can stand up again, and if their own soldiers are killed, they will also stand up again and become a member of the enemy.
Even Zhang Liao had never seen such a soldier, and Jia Xu, the military advisor accompanying the army, believed that these might be the special military skills of the enemy's military division, after all, there was no sign of anything to be traced for such things as military general skills and military division skills, even if it was outrageous. And even Jia Xu didn't have a good way to deal with the undead legions of these enemies. However, from the experience of previous battles, although these undead legions are said to be immortal, they can still be killed, but they can only be killed by killing them five to eight times with the blessing of the legion's attack. And without the blessing of the legion's attack, even if you kill the enemy more than ten times, the enemy will still be able to stand up again. And if you rely on martial arts skills, you can also kill the enemy, and it's one move at a time, and if it's a group skill, it's definitely a big death with one move. However, it was impossible for Zhang Liao to let the generals use their military skills to slaughter the enemy's miscellaneous soldiers, and this kind of extravagant thing was impossible to do even during the most prosperous period of the Han Dynasty.
On the city wall of Bishui Pass, most of the princes also stood on top of the city tower, looking at the undead army that was far away. "Are we really going to work with those guys who hide their heads?" At this time, Yuan Shuzheng roared loudly: "Those Fang Shi of the Yin and Yang Family, we don't know what their purpose is at all, and they can create an army that can't be killed so easily, if they turn their heads to deal with us, we won't have any way to deal with them at all." ”
When Zheng Zhe contacted the coalition forces again before, he contacted them as a member of the Yin and Yang family, as for why? That starts after Li Nan's retreat. It was the third day after Li Nan's retreat, at the suggestion of the overlord and Cheng Xiao, he left the base with a few people, in the name of training the rookie girl Chu Jiao, in fact, it was a few foodies who went out to hunt wild food, because it happened to be photographed by satellite, and there happened to be a huge wild deer nearby, which happened to belong to the third-order combat power, so Chu Jiao's sister was brought out like this, and at this time her first battle.
After a big battle, Sister Chu Jiao finally defeated the wild deer, but when she was about to give it the final blow, she was negligently run away by the wild deer. Of course, according to Cheng Xiao, who was present at the time, it was the interference of the will of the great universe, and the arrangement of fate allowed this third-order wild deer to escape smoothly in front of a group of fourth-order powerhouses. Then in the process of chasing the wild deer, Chu Jiao's sister found a mysterious ancient tomb. Then Qi Tengyi, who had been following the team, also made the old mistake of touching the golden captain after discovering the ancient tomb, and then led the team to a temporary archaeological activity of the Zhongzhou team, and then found a large number of Yin and Yang family cheats in the burial goods of the ancient tomb.
With these cheats, the members of the Zhongzhou team who studied internal force and cultivation temporarily learned some of the secret techniques of the Yin and Yang family, and then pretended to be the descendants of the Yin and Yang family, contacted the coalition army, and agreed to help the coalition army capture Luoyang City, and as a reward, after the coalition army gained control of Luoyang City, let the people of the Zhongzhou team take away the secret books of the hundred schools of Zhuzi collected in the palace and various wealthy families. Well, in fact, this is just an excuse, because of the mission of the main god, even without this reward, the Zhongzhou team can only help the coalition army capture Luoyang City. Of course, the various princes of the coalition did not know about this, and they needed to have a master to contain Lu Bu, so both sides happily reached an agreement on cooperation.
As for why Yuan Shu seems to be very dissatisfied with the Zhongzhou team? In the process of negotiating with the coalition forces, showing muscles is of course also an important link, and Yuan Shu stood up on the spot to ask for education, of course, he was slapped in the face on the spot in various fancy ways, and he had to stretch out the right side of his face to continue to be beaten. When Yuan Shu's left and right faces were beaten beyond recognition, the alliance leader Yuan Shao came out to save the scene, so Liang Zi ended up like this.
In the base of the Zhongzhou team, Li Nan spent a morning reading all the cheats of the Yin and Yang family. Of course, for Li Nan, who did not understand ancient Chinese, he read the Chinese Simplified Chinese version translated by Qi Tengyi. Then I went to the research room and tried it. Then in Zheng Zhe's expression like eating stool, a large amount of golden-colored dragon qi poured out from Li Nan's body. In the end, those dragon qi turned into twelve fist-sized beads, floating in a circle around Li Nan.
"Is this the Yunxi Wandering Dragon of the Yin and Yang Family? It doesn't feel too hard. However, this secret technique of the Yin and Yang family is not bad, it will actually be a demigod-level secret technique, and it is said that this time Chu Jiao's sister is really lucky, and she actually found this kind of good thing. As he spoke, Li Nan waved his hand and scattered the beads that swirled around him. As for why Li Nan chose this move, because Zheng Zha said that no one in the Zhongzhou team could learn this trick except Qi Tengyi until now: "The difficulty of learning this trick lies in the very high requirements for the use of spiritual power, with Zheng Zha's IQ, it is impossible to learn, and if others want to learn, they may need to have about the same level of spiritual power as the Great Demon Master (Fourth-Order Advanced)." ”
"Then why was Qi Tengyi able to learn?" Zheng Zha asked puzzled.
After listening to Zheng Zha's words, Li Nan covered his forehead speechlessly, and then said: "Qi Tengyi is now a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, and he is at the same level as the Great Demon Master in terms of spiritual power, is there anything strange about being able to learn." However, when I looked at the cheats of the Yin and Yang family before, I found that although their path has not completely departed from the system of internal force, many secret techniques need to be supported by enough spiritual power, so it is not suitable for many people to learn. ”
"Forget it." Zheng Zhe also knew what Li Nan said, after all, those cheats had been in their hands for a few days, and with the current technology tree of the Zhongzhou team, these times were enough to study the essence of these secret techniques. It is precisely because these secret techniques have special requirements for spiritual power, and although the Zhongzhou team has a system for many people to cultivate internal power, because of the existence of Li Nan, there are not many people who choose the route of spiritual power, so most of them are unable to cultivate the secret techniques of the river crab Yin and Yang family, or can only cultivate the basics. But it's nothing, because except for the newcomer Chu Jiao, the direction and route of the rest of the people's growth have basically been finalized, although these cheats can allow the Zhongzhou team to obtain the inheritance of the Yin and Yang family, but it can only be used by newcomers in the future, because if the senior person gives up the current route and cultivates, he will have to pay a great price. Of course, it is still possible to learn some appropriate skills and increase your skill reserves, after all, it is a complete inheritance, how can there be some skills suitable for some of them.
And Chu Jiao's sister is a newcomer, and her compatibility with the secret art of the Yin and Yang family is unexpectedly high, so Cheng Xiao said that Chu Jiao's sister can find the ancient tomb, which is the arrangement of the will of the great universe, and now Chu Jiao has officially begun to cultivate the route of the secret art of the Yin and Yang family. Because of the relationship between the cultivation of the exercises, the internal force of the innate stage that had originally reached the third order had to be slowly transformed into the internal force of the special nature of the Yin and Yang family, so at this time, the realm of Chu Jiao's sister also fell back to the second order. Of course, most of these internal forces are cultivated by taking heavenly and earth treasures, and at the same time, because of the huge heaven and earth aura in this world, her internal force was quickly condensed into innate true qi, such a state makes Chu Jiao's sister's foundation very weak, and this kind of cultivation is equivalent to letting her lay a good foundation from scratch, which is still very helpful to her future.
And Zhan Lan said that her undead magic was a military skill similar to the Imperial Ghost Pill, so the princes of the coalition army had no doubts, and Zhu Wen's vines were said to be wood arts, and they could also get through the trick. At the same time, Wang Xia's mines were also taken out openly in the name of earthenography. And except for Yuan Shu, who was slapped in the face, others did not have any doubts about these statements of the Zhongzhou team, and they didn't care much about the secrets of the hundred schools of Zhuzi, after all, it was now a time when the Confucian family was dominant, and the other factions of the hundred schools of thought were basically forced into the corner, and there was no hope of turning over.
An hour later, the army of the undead had begun to approach the camp, and they were less than five hundred meters away from the outermost trench of the camp, and behind the trench was the wall of the camp, of course, surrounded by a large number of antlers, when these antlers obviously did not do much to the army of the undead. The earth excavated from the trench was used to pile up a four-meter-high platform behind the wall, and the wooden wall was made up of standard five-meter-high wooden piles.
"Bow and arrow ready." Zhang Liao, who was standing on top of the tower, shouted loudly, and at the same time, the standard-bearer behind him issued the order through the flag. The edge of the outer perimeter of the trench was about a hundred meters from the wall, and now the army of the undead was about five hundred meters from the ditch and about six hundred meters from the wall. And the best range of these soldiers' bows and arrows is in the range of one hundred meters to five hundred meters with the blessing of the legion's energy, so those undead have almost entered this range.
With Zhang Liao's order, the soldiers standing on the earthen platform took out their bows and arrows one after another, and then aimed at the undead in the distance, waiting for the general's order to shoot those undead into hedgehogs. However, Zhang Liao's mood at this time was also very entangled, looking at these soldiers standing on the city wall, these are the private soldiers of those wealthy families, after the previous defeat, it is obvious that the morale has not fully recovered, and now the way of defending the city, and facing the undead army that left a large psychological shadow in their hearts, the morale has dropped greatly. At this time, the soldiers standing on the earthen platform, although the legion energy has been activated, because most of them are soldiers on the front line who have just participated in the previous battle, so the morale of these undead legions is even lower. Looking at that faint layer of legion energy, it was like the light of a torch that would be extinguished at any moment.
"Shoot the arrows." Zhang Liao ordered loudly again. With Zhang Liao's order, a large number of arrows with legion's energy were shot at the undead who were approaching the trench. More than 2,000 arrows were densely shot towards the undead, and those shining arrows fell into the same dense army of the undead, but the effect was not very good.
Although these arrows are accompanied by legion energy, due to low morale, the legion energy above is not strong, and those undead are not completely free of epidemic prevention, they are still wearing the original armor, and these armor is obviously of very good quality, so only dozens of unlucky skeletons were shot by more than a dozen arrows and fell, and then after those arrows fell off in their bodies, they formed a skeleton soldier again, and then put on armor, and then followed the large army towards the trench from the new. And about ten or so undead actually fell because the soul fire was extinguished. However, Zhan Lan in the distance waved the staff in his hand, and then a burst of magical light appeared in the group of undead, and then the dozen or so skeletons also stood up again. This kind of resummoning is still a very easy thing for the average necromancer.
However, these things did not matter to the soldiers on the earthen platform behind the wall, and they kept shooting arrows out of their quivers, trying to consume the other soldier, which was their task.
