Chapter 581: Siege

The black mist was thick, the four fields were low, and the city of Broken Leaves, which was originally extremely majestic, was like a trapped beast that had been captured in a cage and was seriously injuredSmall|said||【Starter】

Thousands of meters in the air, the black mist was tumbling with an evil aura, so that even a qiΔ“ vitality was cut off, if Zhou Yue was here, he would have noticed that this evil aura was the kind of curse he had seen in the black city of Almaty at the beginning, and it was also an enhanced version.

Because, at this moment, Ma Chao, who can resist this curse, is already difficult to suppress, and can only let this curse continue to invade Shattered Leaf City, invade the body of every soldier defending the city, and constantly corrode their bodies and their will!

Outside of the Black City, surrounded on all sides were besieged and densely packed in tents, as far as the eye could see, and they were still increasing, like countless scavenging crows circling, staring at the seriously injured bodies in the city, waiting for the moment when death really came.

At this time, among these countless tents, there is a very inconspicuous tent, a middle-aged man wearing the standard equipment of the Arab cavalry, is kneeling reverently in front of an ancient mirror, and the strange thing is that in the mirror, the image reflected is not him, but another young man, his face is a little pale, his eyes bulge out like a goldfish, his cheekbones are very high, there is a scar on the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth are tightly pursed, although he is very strict. But in his goldfish-like bulging eyes, there was always a faint mocking smile, as if every qiΔ“ in this world seemed to him to be just a joke, a fun game.

"This time, you did a good job, and I'm very satisfied."

After a long time, the goldfish-eyed man in the mirror spoke, his voice had an unusual calmness, and the protruding eyes stared at him motionlessly, as if he wanted to penetrate this strange mirror and penetrate into people's hearts.

But the mockery and banter in that gaze are constant.

"Ma Chao is the most important part of our entire plan, as long as he dies here, his Xiliang Group will also fall apart, the most important thing is that I will successfully subdue Pound, hehe, Ma Chao's quasi-epic nine-star general is too difficult to subdue, but there is no problem in subduing a quasi-epic seven-star general, with Pound in hand, our plan will be more wonderful, remember, I need Ma Chao to die here, if there is any change, you can come to me through the magic mirror, remember, I don't like people who are unfavorable."

Speaking of this, the corners of the goldfish-eyed man's mouth finally pulled unnaturally, revealing a very evil smile, and immediately, his shadow also disappeared from the quaint mirror.

And from beginning to end, the man on the side of the mirror didn't say a word, but he was sweating profusely, and it seemed that the person opposite was extremely frightened.

"Ma Chao, you must die, you must die!" After a long time, his frightened expression gradually turned to madness, and he muttered to himself.

――――――――――――――――

Ruined Town, at this time, under the leadership of fifty holy scorpion warriors such as Wednesday and Friday, they are going deep into the molten crypt of the big scorpion Mushak to capture the poisonous fire scorpions one by one, but this is to complete the transfer of troops.

Now Zhou Yue has obtained the order of the Pharaoh who can be transferred to the Holy Scorpion Warrior, Holy Scorpion Assassin, and Holy Scorpion Archer, and also has 1,500 copies of the essence blood of the big scorpion, which can be said to be everything, but the east wind is very tragic.

According to the instructions for the transfer, each transfer quota requires 5,000 gold, and with the 120,000 gold in Zhou Yue's hand now, he will at most transfer to 24 senior arms, which is definitely not in line with Zhou Yue's plan.

Therefore, in the end, Claire came up with this method that could simulate the big scorpion Mushak's original transfer of troops, that is, to use the poisonous fire scorpion instead of money.

The specific process is that Claire carves a magic array on the ground, and then makes the transferred soldiers stand naked inside, and then turns the corpses of five hundred poisonous fire scorpions into some strange power through the secret method and injects them into their bodies.

According to Claire, the troops obtained in this way will be weakened by 10% in terms of overall combat power, after all, she is not a direct descendant of the Scorpion King, and she can't be so perfect, but, this is not a problem, the problem is that such a transfer only needs 500 gold.

Although this whole process is very evil, for Zhou Yue, as long as he can have great power, what does justice have to do with evil.

It is precisely because of the significant reduction in expenses that the number of soldiers who can be transferred in Zhou Yue's hands can now be expanded to 240 people.

According to careful thinking, among the 240 transferred soldiers, Zhou Yue arranged 50 Holy Scorpion Assassin troops, which can attack stealthily and does not have much effect on a large-scale battlefield, but if a small-scale sneak attack is carried out, it is infinitely useful.

In addition, Zhou Yue allocated another fifty people to transfer to the Holy Scorpion Warrior, through the previous practice, this Holy Scorpion Warrior is an extremely powerful infantry, as long as it is not encountered by the formation of black armor blood cavalry or heavy Mamluks, it can generally obtain an overwhelming advantage, which is most suitable for mountain warfare and city defense and siege operations.

And the last 140 places were assigned to the Holy Scorpion Archers by Zhou Yue, speaking of which, Zhou Yue is the most admired ranged profession, especially archers, probably because they were deeply imprinted by the archers of the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning of the disaster!

In addition, Zhou Yue has another kind of exquisiteness, that is, in order to cooperate with his heavy crossbowmen, at present, Zhou Yue's 5,000 soldiers are mainly riflemen, crossbowmen, supplemented by cavalry, 2,000 riflemen, 2,000 crossbowmen, plus 1,000 cavalry, among them, there are 200 elites holding holy light crossbows, plus 200 heavy crossbowmen with a full set of standard equipment, and 200 Xirong archers with a full set of standard equipment, these 600 people are the most elite long-range strike force in Zhou Yue's hands, If you add these 140 more powerful Scorpion archers, then these nearly 1,000 long-range strike forces will be very terrifying.

It took two days and one night to successfully complete the transfer of these two hundred and forty elite troops with Claire's help.

At this time, Zhou Yue called Claire over alone and explained her plan carefully.

"What? My lord, do you want to prepare to rescue Ma Chao? This, how is this possible? Ma Chao is now besieged by nearly 200,000 troops in Broken Leaf City! And he's so badly wounded, how could we possibly get him out, we can't even get in touch with them, unless, sir, you're taking too much of a risk! Claire couldn't help but exclaim, Rao was stunned by Zhou Yue's plan with her calmness.
