Captain You and Captain Guan guarded the border, and for a few days, nothing special happened except for the occasional corpse spies on the other side of the river.

Their daily routine is to patrol back and forth between the River Temple and Reed Bay. During this period of truce of the corpse monster army, everything seems to be peaceful, but it cannot be slack. Otherwise, if you relax for a while, they will take advantage of the loopholes, and the consequences will be serious.

Master You also often travels between the two places, and he is not very relieved to come, so he has to go and see it in person. Sometimes when I walk to the edge of the defense line and happen to meet other teams, I will always chat with them for a while, and ask about the news around me by the way.

It is a good thing that it is also calm and calm in other places. But he always felt that something was wrong.

Master You has been dealing with corpse monsters for many years, and he has somewhat figured out their routines. Sometimes, hordes of corpses may seem disorganized, but when they act in groups, they are often confusing.

Some high-level corpse monsters are very smart, and they often come up with a solution, but people can't think of it. At this moment, it seems that the other party is holding its ground, but in private, whether there is any conspiracy planned, I am afraid only they know.

Besides, after getting along with Guan Chenxuan for a few days, I felt that the latter had a good personality and was not careful. He was also polite to Master You and his subordinates. Therefore, the insiders on Master You's side never mentioned the conflict with his subordinates in the inn of Sifang Mountain that day.

I hope that I can continue to be peaceful for a month, and then the task is completed, and I will return to Bihai City smoothly. Regardless of whether Guan Chenxuan finally knew about it or not, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

Although Master You thinks so, it often backfires. Just as he was inspecting the riverbank with his subordinates, the subtle changes in the surrounding environment were noticed by the attentive former.

It's spring, and at this time of year, after a few thunderstorms, the water level of the Qiandu River will start to rise sharply. At this time, the beginning of summer will be ushered in. But before that, there was a period of dry water.

No, it hasn't rained for many days, and the water level of the river has dropped a lot. If the water supply to the river upstream is not available, the river will gradually narrow. Correspondingly, the flow of water is very slow

Now is the perfect time for an army of corpses to cross the river, and as expected, they're sure to make a surprise attack before the rainy season begins. As for how big it is, only God knows.

In the past two days, there have been fewer and fewer sneaky figures on the other side of the river. But the more they were like this, the more clear the doubts in Master You's heart became.

Finally, one day, the storm crept in......

It was late at night, and tonight it was dark clouds, the stars were dim, and the surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a needle dropping. If it weren't for the bonfire of the masters, which illuminated every inch of land, I am afraid that they would not be able to reach out and lose their fingers. By the Qiandu River, Captain You and Captain Guan stood with their hands in their hands, standing in front of the tent and staring at the other side of the river, without speaking for a long time.

I saw a figure on the opposite shore, and I don't know when, there was also a figure. Due to the dim light, only a slightly thin silhouette can be roughly seen. But in the dark night, the two faint blood-red eyes were very strange.

The three figures just stared at each other quietly, and they didn't know how long they had been stalemate like this. Master You, who only listened to the side, asked in a low voice: "Guan Duwei, how long has this guy~ been there? How do I feel a little uneasy at this time." ”

I heard another voice slowly reply: "I don't know, when it was not yet dark, my subordinates suddenly saw this guy standing opposite." It just didn't move, it looked like a spirit corpse, maybe it was the ghost king! It must not be a good thing for it to appear on the other side so suddenly at this moment!"

After a pause, he continued: "It seems that they really can't hold their breath, maybe, a storm is coming! Brother You, are you ready?"

When the latter heard this, he just smiled softly: "Let them come over!" I have been waiting here for a long time. After the two had finished speaking, they stopped talking and looked back at the other side of the river.

At this time, the strange figure on the other side suddenly disappeared without knowing when! Before the two of them could speak out in surprise, they saw that at the end of their sight, a hazy figure with a fierce eye was gathering towards the river!

The two of them shouted in unison: "It's coming!" After speaking, they both turned around and left quickly. There was only a faint sound of rapid conversation: "Brother You, they really started to attack! These animals are menacing, obviously they are prepared! There are too many corpse monsters, although we have been prepared for a long time, but we only have five hundred people, I'm afraid we can't digest it!"

"Brother Guan, don't mess up. Most of the corpse monsters don't know how to water, so they will do everything they can to cross this river! But with so many of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to come over for a while. Let's resist for a while, let them pass sporadically, and only stop the main force!"

"Good...... But there is another point, Guan is very worried, we are now in the very center, down to the Reed Bay, up to the River Temple, stretching for dozens of miles is our line of defense. Brother You, I'm afraid they will cross the river from other places, and these animals are just here to confuse the public!"

"Well, Brother Guan is reasonable, but what You thinks, the water here is the gentleest, and the river is not wide. As expected, they will never take hundreds of us into account. I'm sure I'll be looking for a breakthrough here!

Those sentry posts stationed along the line will let them guard their posts for the time being. If there is an emergency, it is good to notify us as soon as possible. ”......

The two quickly communicated and reached a consensus. I saw Guan Chenxuan hurriedly running away and going to assemble the master's army.

And Master You, facing not far behind him, towards those masters who were already ready to standby. I only listened to his loud order: "The corpse monster army has begun to move! Pass my order, quickly ignite the 'letter fire'!"

As soon as he finished giving the order, he saw a cluster of fire suddenly burning on the bank of the river not far away. Less than half a pillar of incense passed, and more than 10 miles away, a raging fire was also ignited...... In this way, the flames lit up the sky, along the edge of the Sendu River, until the end of the line of sight.

Seeing that the signal had been transmitted, You Duwei was somewhat relieved, so he withdrew his gaze. Looking at the expressions of the masters in front of him, he was scared and excited. He smiled at them.

His smile is contagious and reassuring. Originally, the master, who was still a little stunned in his heart, seemed to feel less scared after being infected by the former.

Master You turned over and got on the horse, and with a majestic look, he glanced at everyone. Looking back, countless corpse monsters were already approaching the riverbank, pacing back and forth.

They're so big of them that it's hard to see the numbers. I could only feel that countless eyes flashed with fierce light, crossing the thirty-zhang wide Qiandu River, looking at everyone coldly.

Seeing that the number of corpse monster armies is increasing, although there is a river in the middle, the formation is really a little scary.

Without hesitation, Captain You Duwei pulled out the god-killing knife with a "bang" and pointed at the group of corpse monsters. Turning around, he shouted, "See! These are just street rats." Even though there are many of them, we are an iron-clad team, and who has ever heard of an ant colony that can shake an elephant?!

We only need to resist for a few hours, and the reinforcements led by Lin Du will arrive before dawn! Most of them can't swim, everyone just need to guard against some 'water tigers', don't let them drag them into the water! Brothers, follow me!"

So he took the lead and quickly went to the river. Not to be outdone, the rest of the masters followed in the footsteps of the captain and rushed to a stop two or three feet away from the river. There is no need to order from above, they are all consciously lined up. The strong master took out his shield and crossed and overlapped. Soon, a steel wall was erected.

There are gaps in the shield wall, and the archers, through these gaps, pull their bows like a full moon. The arrows, glowing with cold light, pierced through the shield wall and pointed straight at the river. Layers of iron walls protect the masters in the rear, and they are impregnable.

Completing this series of actions is only a matter of the blink of an eye. Master You's soldiers have been fighting for many years, are well-trained, and their adaptability is not covered.

On the other hand, on Captain Guandu's side, the masters were still hurriedly lined up. At this time, I saw that the water surface, which was originally as calm as a mirror, suddenly began to sparkle.

Everyone looked at it and saw that round things kept emerging on the water. There were so many of them that the masters couldn't help but gasp: Water corpses! And the masters of the Lieutenant You here were ready to start attacking when they climbed ashore.

At this time, from the camp of Guan Duwei, there was a loud shout: "It's a water corpse! Everyone be careful!", "Oh my God! Why are there so many, what should we do?...... Panic shouts like these were instantly chaotic.

I only heard Guan Chenxuan roaring angrily there: "Don't mess around! You all look at your current bear-like appearance, these animals have not yet started to attack, and they will scare you like this! Look at the soldiers of the people You Du Lieutenant, don't embarrass the Ben Du Lieutenant here!"

At this time, everyone looked at Master You's side. I saw that nearly 400 people had set up layers of barriers, surrounding the defense line by the river as firmly as an iron barrel.

At this time, I heard the latter say aloud: "Captain Guandu, there are too few personnel on your side, and if a melee breaks out later, you will definitely suffer." It's not time to fight on their own, but now we need to 'merge into one'!

Looking at this trend, we can't stop many corpses. Hurry up and let your masters come behind me, and once they are surrounded, they can take care of each other later!"

Guan Duwei glanced at the master behind him, and compared with the people of You Duwei, it was really not enough to see.

Then he ordered: "You guys, hurry up and grab your weapons and hide behind Captain You! Pay attention to the gap behind him at all times, and don't let those animals have any chance to take advantage of it! Whether or not you can hold out until dawn depends on Captain You!"

Seeing that the masters were still stunned, he couldn't help but slap his palm on the head of the nearest person: "What Lao Tzu said, didn't you hear it?

At this time, everyone hurriedly grabbed their weapons, hurriedly ran over, and hid behind Captain Youdu.

The masters are ready and ready to fight, just waiting for these water corpses to rush up and fight to the death. Unexpectedly, these animals just floated quietly on the water, and after watching the masters for a long time, one of them plunged into the water and disappeared.

Everyone was wondering to themselves, and they all craned their necks and couldn't help but glance at the river. After half a pillar of incense, I suddenly saw a slight ripple on the surface of the water. I saw that the logs floated up, and after a while, they moved neatly towards the middle.

Master You raised his eyebrows, and immediately reacted and exclaimed: "It's not good! These animals want to build a pontoon bridge! The archers are ready quickly, aim at these water corpses for me, don't wait for orders, shoot on your own!"

The master with the bow and arrow, without saying a word, aimed the arrow at the wood in the middle of the river. Now that the lieutenant had already given the order to attack on his own, he exerted all his strength one by one, "swishing and swishing!" I saw dozens of off-string arrows, with one afterimage after another, heading straight for the arms of the water corpses on the wooden stakes.

The water corpses were hiding in the water, and because the pontoon was to be fixed, their arms were clinging to the stakes. Although Captain You's subordinates are skilled, they are still separated by a distance. Plus it's dark and the line of sight is not good. Therefore, most of the arrows were nailed to the stakes, making a dense "aggressive" sound.

Those arrows shot into the water, due to the resistance, caused almost negligible damage to the water corpses. But occasionally there were one or two arms that were in the middle of the water corpse, and the latter couldn't help but shrink his hand when he was in pain.

The wood that had been let go of the water drifted away with the flowing water. However, more stakes surfaced, converging towards the middle, and more and more.

Seeing that the effect was not obvious, Captain You hurriedly ordered all the masters to stop archery, and could only watch the pontoon bridge gradually take shape. They did not dare to go into the water, and they fought with the water corpses in the water, undoubtedly to send them to death.

The speed at which the water corpse built the bridge was very fast, but in less than half an hour, a simple pontoon bridge made of countless log piles had already been closed.

At this moment, a trumpet sounded on the opposite side. The horn was not loud, but when all the corpse monsters heard it, they all stopped running wildly, lined up in formation, and quickly rushed towards the pontoon.

The number of them is like an ant colony, which makes the masters feel numb in their scalps. They stepped over the shoulders of the stakes and water corpses in an orderly manner, and slowly crawled over.

In the middle of the river, all the masters saw clearly, all the beast corpses. I think it is also because of the flexibility of the body that they let them take the lead.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Master You shouted: "Master Bihai City listens to the order: these animals are coming over soon, you will hold me down." We must not allow their main force to rush past us!

Now, while their pontoons are not yet solid. Yuan Hu Pai, you take out some of the master and let the beast corpse get closer. Then he picked up a stone and smashed it at me! The rest of the masters stood still, and whoever dared to escape from the battle, I would be the first to throw him into the water and feed the water tiger!"

After giving the order, I saw that the beast corpses were holding the wooden stakes of the pontoon bridge, moving little by little, and most of them had passed! Master Yuan was also a vigorous and resolute person, and immediately ordered forty or fifty strong masters and followed him to pick up stones.

The rest of the masters dropped their bows and arrows, and then pulled out the god-killing knife from behind. With cold eyes, he looked at the approaching beast corpse.
