On the last night of winter, there were no stars and no moon.

The curtain of black clouds that covered the desert of death hung low, almost pressing down on the walls.

On the second city wall of Yumen Pass, the torch is full of the city wall, and it is heavily guarded. A group of soldiers were heavily armoured, armed with swords and guns, and were ready to fight.

Under the black clouds, the torch glow dimmed, casting shadows on the nervous faces of the warriors.

Tonight outside the city walls was eerily quiet, and there weren't even a few wandering skeletons. Midnight passed, and everything was safe.

The winter wind in the middle of the night was unusually cold, and in the second half of the night, it was snowing heavily. In a moment, the soldiers standing on the city wall were dyed snow-white.

The iron armor is as cold as ice, but fortunately, the city walls are full of elites, heroes. The essence and blood on the body are vigorous, and the cold and heat do not invade.

But after waiting all night, seeing that dawn was coming, the water was still quiet outside the city walls. The warriors felt sleepy.

A young spearman touched his companion next to him with his elbow: "Lao Liu, the corpse demon soldier won't come, right?"

Known as Lao Liu, he is a weathered middle-aged man with a deep scar on his face and eyes like an eagle. He said calmly:

"Farewell, wait, wait. There is a darkest time before dawn, and this is also the time when we are most sleepy. ”

"Judging from my decades of battlefield experience, if the corpse demon wants to sneak attack last, most of them will choose this time. ”

Some veterans in the team nodded their heads, thinking that what Lao Liu said was reasonable.

The young spearman Xiao Hou was suspicious: "Is it true? Why do I think the corpse demons dare not come? As he said that, he clenched his sword and gun in his hand.

The last hour of darkness before dawn came. The black clouds pressed downward, enveloping the entire battlefield in a deep, icy darkness.

Xiao Hou's heart "plopped" and jumped hard, and the palm holding the gun was faintly sweaty.

One, two, three......

However, the expected attack came.

A long rooster crow could be heard in the distance. Suddenly the darkness receded like a tidal wave. A hint of the whiteness of the fish belly began to appear in the eastern sky.

Dawn is coming.

The three days of winter are over, and the Qingyun Continent is returning from extreme yin to yang at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.

The black clouds gradually rose and faded.

Xiao Hou let out a long breath, relaxed his knife and gun, and muttered in a low voice, "I said that the corpse demon didn't dare to come, right?"

The scar on Lao Liu's face was a little red, and he coughed and said:

"It's a good thing not to come, fight less, live more. Let's get ready for a team change. ”

By this time, the sky was getting brighter and brighter.

Lao Liu followed the team and turned around to get ready to go down the city wall, and was about to start, when he couldn't help but glance back at the outside of the city wall.

At this glance, Lao Liu's face changed suddenly, and he saw a large area of dense bone arrows shooting rapidly towards the city wall.

Lao Liu opened his mouth to shout, and the bone arrow had already flown in. Hundreds of bone arrows smashed into Lao Liu's armor, but there were also hundreds of them that hit Lao Liu's face, hands and feet, and the gaps in all the armor.

In an instant, Lao Liu became a scarecrow in a straw boat borrowing arrows.

A dense rain of arrows poured down on the city walls, and there was the sound of tuk-tuk arrows entering the body, as well as the screams of Terran warriors.

I saw a dense fog outside the city wall, revealing countless skeleton knights. Behind them, the towering pendulum of trebuchets resembles a dense forest.

At this time, Xiao Hou, who had more than a dozen bone arrows in his back, shouted wildly: "Enemy attack! Defense!"

But he heard a scream from behind the corpse demon army, and the skeleton knight corps like a frenzy began to charge under the city wall.

The skeleton knight rushed to the bottom of the city, suddenly turned, ran against the wall, and threw his rifle at the wall.

All of a sudden, a rain curtain of spears covered the city walls.

Then the huge skeleton dragons and zombie dragons in the sky protruded from the clouds, swooping down the city walls, and performing a third round of washing with poisonous ghost flames.

After three rounds of washing, most of the soldiers on the city wall died, and almost everyone left was wounded.

At this time, the catapult, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, started. Thousands of house-sized bone balls were fired at once, obscuring the light on the horizon.

However, Xiao Hou could no longer see this shocking scene. He had seven or eight riding spears stuck in his body, lying on his back on the ground, and he had already died of exhaustion.

His eyes were wide open, with pain, remorse, nostalgia, and a little joy.

On the occasion of his death, Xiao Liu returned to the peach orchard outside his hometown of Xiaocheng. Among the thousands of blooming peach blossoms, his beloved girl was running towards him with her slender white fingers twisting the corners of her pink skirt and laughing. Her round face, in the shape of a goose egg, was as red as a blooming peach blossom.

On the last day of winter, the corpse demons gathered almost all of their high-level troops, under the cover of a silent shadowless enchantment cast by ten lichs. At dawn, he raided the Great Song Yumen Pass.

Although Song Guo had been prepared, he was unable to withstand the blow of the Corpse Demon Clan. The second wall of Yumen Pass was broken.

Among them, Ke Daoyuan, the deputy commander of the Western Army, who had just turned from "Ke Ran Run" to "Ke Benben", once again revealed his true form, and chose to escape alone when the battle situation was stalemate.

He abandoned tens of millions of elite troops and fled into the Third Wall;

abandoned the armor mount of the royal gift and fled to the rear base of the Great Song Dynasty;

He abandoned his shiny hair and beard again, disguised himself as a wandering monk and fled to Qinghai City;

He abandoned his wife and children, and the ancestors of the Ke family fled overseas alone, and he has not been seen since.

"Ke escaped" and became a legend.

However, it was said that the Corpse Demon Clan, with the help of Ke Fufu, finally broke through the city wall. But they didn't continue to rush.

Before a large number of reinforcements from the Song State and the Chu State arrived, they wreaked havoc in the 8A-level scenic spot of the Song State. And copied the handwriting inscriptions of Wang Zihuan, Cen Shen and Shixian Li Hei.

After the investigation by the special team of the International Joint Tourism Bureau, although a large number of cultural relics were lost in the 8A-level Yumen Pass Scenic Area, the damage to the scenic spot was also very serious.

However, because the Song authorities made up for the loss and saved in time, nearly half of the scenic spot was still retained without destruction.

Therefore, the Yumen Pass Scenic Area has only been downgraded by three levels from the 8A level, and still retains the title of a national 5A-level tourist resort.

In the damaged scenic spots, because of the ruins and broken walls, the sporadic cultural traces have formed a special and incomplete sense of beauty.

Part of the park was destroyed by corpse demons, and later it was repaired by skilled craftsmen to reconstitute the 5A-level "original black park" scenic spot.

This good news finally calmed down the mood of Zhao Hao, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who had fallen into a mania, and began to work on a new packaging concept, with the theme of "the two sides of history - civilization and barbarism" to attract passenger consumption. Reconstruct the Yumenguan Scenic Group, and expect to rise to 6A in three years and 7A in five years.

It is said that Emperor Zhao Hao of the Song Dynasty also had a whimsical idea to send an envoy carrying rare treasures to go deep into the Death Desert to find the royal court of the Corpse Demon Clan. It is hoped that the handwriting of Wang Zihuan, Cen Shen and Shixian Li Hei will be exchanged through diplomatic channels.

Later, because no one wanted to be the head of the mission, the matter had to be abandoned.

Therefore, Zhao Hao often got up in the middle of the night, dressed in Hao clothes, and sighed at the moon in the atrium:

"The wind is blowing, the rich are in the bank, and the warriors are guarding the treasury?"

On the edge of the Desert of Death, billions of corpses are slowly retreating into the depths of the desert.

Among the troops stretching for thousands of miles, under the strict protection of a group of Knights of Destruction and Zombie Dragons, six Ancient Earth Bone Dragons pulled a huge white bone chariot and slowly marched. Behind the chariot were two large wagons pulled by eighteen bone lions.

In the first carriage, the heads of thousands of Terran generals were piled up, as well as many armor, weapons, and battle flags.

The markings on the banners indicate that their original owners had at least the title of lieutenant general or above.

In the second carriage, there are a large number of rare treasures, the most conspicuous are three old and ancient stone tablets.

Inside the white bone chariot, the third prince Ace Morgan's face was as heavy as iron. Of course, he was originally a dead man's face, and there was no blood.

Acemorgan's long, skinny, pale fingers clutched a jasper-colored bone token. Unwillingness:

"Great Lich, since we have already broken through the second layer of the Jade Gate Pass, why don't we continue to make persistent efforts and directly attack the third layer, break into the hinterland of the human race, and establish immortal feats?"

Blanche, the Great Lich, played with a withered head and smiled lowly:

"Your Highness, the Terran army is obviously on guard. Our army relied on a surprise attack to take the second city wall, which was already taking advantage of the opponent's cowardice. ”

"If we continue to attack, firstly, there is no further possibility at the end of the strong crossbow, and secondly, the reinforcements of the human race are coming, and if our army loves to fight, it will be surrounded in front of the Yumen Pass, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Although the losses were big this time, at least one second level and three first levels were captured. Among the **** of you, it has taken the first place. It's better to accept it when you see it. ”

Esmorgan sighed, "That's all it can be." It's really unwilling. ”

Blanc smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to be discouraged. I just searched the soul of this secret agent of the Chu State with 'Spiritual Torture', and found a very interesting thing. ”

"What can be said to be interesting?"

Blanc turned the face of the skull in his hand and said into the eye socket:

"I found out that there is only one person to blame for the failure of our army's plan this time.

It was he who invented the Magic Fire Spider Silk Reeling Machine and interrupted the rhythm of our army's attack;

It was he who came up with a way to destroy the Demon Mountain, and our main attack plan came to naught;

It was also he who predicted that our army would attack Yumen Pass with all its might, so that the human race was on guard and made our surprise attack fall short. ”

Esmorgan slapped the armrest of the seat, bone chips splashed, and said angrily:

"Who is it? I'm going to cramp his skin, crush his bones and scatter ashes, and burn his soul in the Nine Hellfires for 10,000 years. ”

Blanc smiled slightly: "This person's name is Gu Wen, and he is a sixteen-year-old country boy. It's so much fun. ”
