Chapter 1256: Sneak Attack

Its combat power of corpses is not very strong, not to mention cultivators above the Transformation God Realm, it is easy to bombard them, even if it is an ordinary sick soldier with strong skills, as long as he is not afraid, calmly responds, and is not injured by the walking corpse, it is not difficult to kill him.

However, the terrifying thing about the walking corpses is not how strong they are, but their hideous countenances and the strong infectivity of the plague.

If the strength is not strong enough, as long as it is injured and corpse qi enters the body, it is basically no different from dying.

But for those who have been struck by the corpse, death is not the end, because when they are cut off, they will immediately become a member of the walking corpse, and Ho Ho Monster will scream and attack other living people.

Most of the soldiers of the Tianyu Empire had never encountered such an enemy before, and they suffered a lot of losses by accident, so that many soldiers also became one of the walking corpses.

Especially when the walking corpse entered the territory of the Heavenly Rain Empire, it began to spread on a large scale.

It's not that the walking corpses are completely out of control and have become indiscriminately attacking anyone, but that there are more people attacking them.

Because most of the walking corpses were soldiers of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom before they died, even if the armor on their bodies was stripped off after death, their clothes were still there, so it was easy to identify their original identities.

The Heavenly Rain Empire and the Great Sun Demon Kingdom are old enemies, and there has been constant war. This led to the fact that the people on the border had no good impression of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, and some of them were hateful.

In this way, the people of the Tianyu Empire saw the soldiers of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom appear on their own territory, and they would definitely regard it as an intruder, and then they did not hesitate to spontaneously besiege it.

Of course, the people of the Heavenly Rain Empire are so active, not only because they have enmity with the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, but also because they have great benefits.

Because the government of the Tianyu Empire once ordered: Anyone who sees the invasion of the soldiers and horses of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and kills them will not only be innocent but also meritorious, and he will be rewarded with a heavy reward if he goes to the county government with his head.

The so-called reward was not money or food, but exemption from servitude. For the common people, if there is no forced labor, it is really a far better reward than getting money and food, and naturally everyone is eager.

Therefore, when they saw the invasion of the soldiers of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, many people immediately attacked it.

The people living on the border are accustomed to fighting, and the folk customs are quite strong, so most of them are not very afraid when they see the ugly faces of the walking corpses. Besides, the benefits are current, and where do you care too much else.

The walking corpses have always adhered to the orders given to them by Dudu, and they will never kill innocents indiscriminately if they are not attacked, but now they have begun to kill indiscriminately after being attacked.

The most troublesome thing about the walking corpse is not only that it is not afraid of pain or death, but that it must not be injured when attacking it, otherwise even if you kill it, you will become a walking corpse.

In the face of such a walking corpse, even the most brave and good soldiers will be restrained, and their combat power will naturally be greatly reduced.

But the people didn't know this, whether they had armor to protect themselves, and a group of people rushed up, just wanting to grab the benefits in their own hands, but they didn't want to be quickly caught by the walking corpse and covered with injuries, and then the corpse had a seizure and became a walking corpse.

Because of this, the number of walking corpses began to increase explosively on the borders of the Tianyu Empire.

Although the reaction of the border army of the Tianyu Empire was not slow, by the time it was taken seriously, the number of walking corpses had suddenly increased from more than 300,000 to nearly one million at the beginning of Xia Fan.

Fortunately, most of the border troops are border troops, and the number of civilians is not large, otherwise the total number will have to double or triple.

In desperation, the border army could only ask for help. I must send some more cultivators over to help kill these walking corpses.

If there were cultivators who were good at controlling fire and manipulating thunder and lightning, it would not be very difficult to kill the walking corpses, but the number of nearly one million was really a headache.

When the number of walking corpses increases, it is really like a plague, it is difficult to control, and when it spreads, it must be very difficult to fight in a short period of time.

While the Heavenly Rain Empire mobilized cultivators and the strong men in the army to exterminate the walking corpses, it also had a sharp hatred for the Great Sun Demon Kingdom that had single-handedly created such a chaotic and dangerous situation.

All of a sudden, the Tianyu Empire began to have many voices from the people to the court, and there were many voices that should declare war on the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and join forces with the Great Han Dynasty to destroy it.

It's just that the emperor of the Tianyu Empire already had the idea of taking advantage of the fisherman, where would he intervene in this war so early, so on the one hand, he appeased the people below, and on the other hand, he sent an envoy to the Great Sun Demon Kingdom to express the strongest condemnation.

In order to prevent his condemnation from being regarded as a powerless intimidation by the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, the Tianyu Empire also pushed the soldiers and horses on the border forward for a certain distance, almost on the border line.

In this way, the threat becomes much stronger.

In the face of the Tianyu Empire, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom naturally would not admit it, so the 500,000 troops who had just been transferred did not have time to rest, and went directly to the border.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides stood on the border line between the two countries in this way, staring at each other nervously, and there was a big posture of starting a fight if they disagreed.

Although the formation was murderous, the commanders and generals on both sides knew in their hearts that for now, it would be difficult for them to really fight.

Because if the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was not stupid, it would not provoke a new powerful enemy when it had already started a war with the Great Han Dynasty. And if the Tianyu Empire was not stupid, it would definitely not intervene in this battlefield too early.

It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that the two sides seem to be full of momentum, but in fact they are just pretending.

But how could Xia Fan watch them just confront each other and not fight, so when night fell, Xia Fan let dozens of walking corpses out.

The reason why I just put this point is to try not to attract the attention of both sides.

Otherwise, thousands of walking corpses will attack in unison, and as long as both sides are not stupid, they can guess that someone is doing the trick. At that time, Xia Fan's plan to provoke the two sides to fight will be completely ruined.

These walking corpses have been raised by Doodoo in corpse bottles, so they are stronger and more agile in their movements.

Wearing the standard armor of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, he looks no different from a normal soldier, and it is even more impossible to see any flaws in the darkness of night at this time.

So when dozens of walking corpses crossed the border and were discovered after killing a few soldiers of the Tianyu Empire, the soldiers of the Tianyu Empire did not think that they were walking corpses at all, but subconsciously thought that this was a shameless sneak attack by the Great Sun Demon Kingdom taking advantage of the night.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The shameless Great Sun Demon Kingdom attacked us and killed them all. ”

"The Celestial Rain Empire has attacked ........."

...............

When the screams and angry roars broke the silence of the night, the battle front, which had been shrouded in darkness, was like a scoop of water poured into a hot oil pot, and it exploded immediately.

Although both the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the commanders of the Tianyu Empire felt that this confrontation was mostly just pretending, and they might not be able to fight.

However, they also knew very well that wars often broke out when no one expected them, so they specially told their soldiers and generals not to relax their vigilance, and to fight back immediately when they encountered an enemy sneak attack.

Because of this, the soldiers and horses on both sides tightened a string.

If this confrontation lasts for a long time, maybe the two sides will relax a little, even if Xia Fan is making trouble in the middle, it may not be possible to fight immediately.

But now it is different, the confrontation has just been going on for a short time, and the soldiers and horses on both sides are quite vigilant, and when they are really on fire, when they hear that the other side has launched an attack, they can't even bother to distinguish between the true and the false, and in line with the principle of striking first to be strong and then attacking, they directly launched a fierce attack on the opposite side.

In this way, a tragic war broke out between the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Heavenly Rain Empire.

Both sides, from the commanders to the ordinary soldiers, did not know the truth of the matter, and they all thought that the other side had launched the attack first, so this battle was all fought with confidence.

In fact, even if a limited number of people knew the truth and understood that the reason for the outbreak of war was purely the work of an outsider, they would not be able to easily stop the two sides from fighting together.

War is like an arrow off the string, and when it flies out, it is no longer under anyone's control.

At this moment, even if a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse came, he couldn't stop them before the armies of the two sides could decide the winner.

Xia Fan stood high in the sky, overlooking all this, and turned to leave after a long time.

At this point, there was no need for him to do anything more.

In this war that took place on the border between the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Tianyu Empire, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the losing side will definitely not give up.

By the time the sun swept down the border the next morning, it looked like a giant slaughterhouse.

There were corpses everywhere, blood staining the dirt red, then turning a dark red color, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

The battle between the two sides did not distinguish the winner or loser, but neither had any intention of stopping.

When the two urgent reports were delivered to the Emperor of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Heavenly Rain Empire respectively, the reaction of the two was almost unanimous rage.

In fact, they may not be unaware of this matter, maybe someone is secretly pushing it, and at the same time calculating the two countries, and the motive to do so is naturally the Han Dynasty, but now, the pursuit of the culprit has become a secondary matter, and how to win this sudden war is what needs to be considered at the moment.

Above the courts on both sides, no one dared to stand up at this time and advise the emperor to exercise restraint and forbearance, because everyone knew very well that this matter was not only about the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals on the front line, but also about the dignity of the country and the emperor, and it was impossible to easily stop the war unless the winner was decided.

Under such circumstances, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom completely gave up its plan to ease the previous conflict and misunderstanding with the Tianyu Empire, and instead began to recruit troops and horses to deal with the war with the Tianyu Empire.

At the same time, the Tianyu Empire, which had been preparing for war for a long time, also declared war on the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, and then the army continued to assemble and immediately set off for the battlefield.
