Chapter 113: The Puzzle
Gu Ou's eyes looked viciously in the direction where the silver arrow was shot, and over there was the place where the "Shadow Hunters" of the Shadow Pavilion were squatting and waiting.
At this moment, the place was quiet and quiet, without a single sound. However, Gu Ou still faintly heard a sigh of annoyance, which was a sigh from not catching the letter harrier.
Shooting Gu Ou has always known that since the beginning of the war, the "shadow hunters" of the Shadow Pavilion have appeared everywhere in the fiefdom. Because of their existence, they directly guide the direction of this war.
Because of this, Gu Ou was particularly worried that the information brought back by the letter harrier had been intercepted.
The silver arrow that shoots the green fox is specially designed for the "shadow hunter", it can intercept birds and beasts in the air or from a distance, and obtain information about the enemy by capturing these messenger animals. This kind of silver arrow, with a barb at the end, is convenient for hitting the target and pulling the target back to the side.
The "shadow hunter" who shot the silver arrow obviously didn't expect someone to jump up and grab the letter harrier, and the silver arrow was aimed at the target, but it shot through the green fox's chest.
Originally, it was just a small wound left on the heart of the green fox, but there was still a chance to recover after taking the elixir. However, under the pull of the longbow, the silver arrow immediately ejected back, and the barb pierced back through the green fox's back again, this time, the green fox was not so lucky, the hook deviated from the original direction, and directly tore the green fox's heart.
In other words, the moment the barb returned, it pulled out a big hole in the green fox's chest.
This barb directly took the life of the green fox.
"Hei Yichen, Lao Tzu will be inseparable from your Shadow Pavilion!" Gu Ou roared into the air, hugging his wife's body tightly, grief-stricken.
"Husband, dismantle the ...... quickly" Qinghu handed the bloody note to Gu Ou with a slight tremble, and looked at her husband with a sad smile on his face.
No matter how strong Gu Ou was, he couldn't help but cry when he saw his wife hanging her last breath. He took out a bottle from his arms, and in the bottle, there was only one pink pill, and he didn't think about it, so he stuffed it into his wife's mouth.
"Husband, don't ......" Before the green fox could finish speaking, the elixir immediately melted into a terrifying energy, seeping into her limbs.
This is a Soul Rejuvenation Pill, which is a reward that her husband received for his meritorious service to the Demon Saint. It is said to allow the dying to recreate flesh and blood, and restore the soul.
Seeing that his wife's vitality was instantly stabilized and no longer passed, Gu Ou looked at his wife dotingly and said, "It's just a soul rejuvenation pill, how can your life be valuable?!" You sleep well, after seven or forty-nine days, your broken soul and flesh god will be repaired, and you will be able to come back to life." When you wake up, I want you to see the destruction of Hei Yichen and his Shadow Pavilion!"
The green fox nodded slowly, smiled, and finally closed his beautiful eyes.
Hei Yichen didn't know that his "Shadow Hunter" had provoked a formidable opponent. If he knew, Hei Yichen would definitely support this "shadow hunter" as always, but what Hei Yichen would do next was to start the "hunting" operation - to kill Gu Ou, a hidden danger.
Cut down the grass to eradicate the roots! Eliminate the evil must be done!
"If" is just a presupposition, and everything that is assumed does not exist. Therefore, Hei Yichen didn't know all this. And the "shadow hunter" didn't take it to heart.
However, no one expected that a mere "shadow hunter" would incur the serious consequences of the Shadow Pavilion being almost extinct and having to retire to the rivers and lakes.
Gu Ou settled his unconscious wife, sat on the chair and stabilized his mood, before picking up the tea that his wife had made just now and pouring it in one go.
The tea was already cold, Gu Ou shivered fiercely, and his thoughts began to sober.
He calmly raised his hand and slowly opened the folded bloody note little by little, breathing a little heavily.
There were only a few simple words on the note: "Give up the fief and send Li Xiang to his destination." ”
Yes, the original intention can no longer be realized, even if the fiefdom is kept, it no longer means anything to the Demon Saint.
However, Li Xiang is a chess piece, and Li Xiang, who has exposed his identity, has no effect, so why does the Demon Saint still want to keep Li Xiang safe?
......
As soon as the war began, as Suto had predicted, the war suddenly escalated into a battle for every inch of territory. Due to the enemy's too many heavy weapons and too wide a striking area, at the beginning, the Qinwang army had to advance steadily little by little.
The ice wall was built according to the plan, and it was only less than 100 meters before the enemy suddenly rolled down the burning stones and timber from the mountain, and the soldiers hiding behind the ice wall had their vision blocked, and they could not shoot to cover the advance of the follow-up troops. The soldiers who managed to rush up the hill were quickly shot or restrained, and instantly lost contact with the troops in the rear.
"Tear down the ice walls in those places and rebuild them. ”
Hei Yichen saw that he and Jin Zhu were isolated and helpless, and hurriedly ordered a few places that were not easy for the rolling stones to be rebuilt, so that they could better avoid the enemy's fire and stone attacks, so as to deal with the enemy's alternative surprise attacks.
This kind of construction of large bunker fortifications was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it made Jin Zhu exhausted. But the effect was also noticeable, the burning stone no longer became an obstacle, and the follow-up troops soon followed.
The enemy's magic arrows, magic bullets, and magic cannons were fired intensively from a high place, and as soon as the soldiers showed their heads, they were forced to retract, coupled with the fire dragon sweeping, burning the sky and destroying the earth, so that the battlefield on the hillside turned into a sea of fire, except for the soldiers behind the ice wall, the rest of the place showed no vitality.
Not only that, but along the way, the enemy had already buried poisonous smoke and poisonous gas, and as soon as the soldiers attacked the position, the enemy detonated the poison, and the soldiers who had finally stood firm were poisoned and fell down one by one.
Qin Wang's army suffered heavy casualties for a while.
The situation is very critical! Jin Raozhi had no choice but to order a withdrawal.
The first siege failed in this way.
"Yichen, what do you think?" Jin Raozhi's willow eyebrows frowned. Seeing the soldiers fall one by one, her heart was anxious and angry. However, she was also secretly glad that she did not let the strongest assassin death squad fight.
"Poisonous smoke and poisonous gas are easier to handle, let Zhou Dong lead the death squad to rush to the front, he can suppress it, and the fire dragon is also easy to do, after all, the distance is too far, the power is not strong, and the ice wall with gold beads can resist it. It's just that the opponent is fighting down from a high place, and the lethality is too great. Plus there are too many enemies, and the replenishment is fast. If we can effectively suppress the enemy's firepower and reduce our mortality, it will not be difficult to attack. ”
Hei Yichen's words seem to be said to Liu Yunhao.
Liu Yunhao's old face turned red again, and he looked at the map and fell into hard thought.
Jin Raozhi didn't force him. She has so many troops at hand, no matter how reasonable she deploys, it can only be divided into forward charge, center advance, and large army pressing.
The enemy's firepower must be suppressed with equal forces, unless the weapons of one's own side are several times stronger than the enemy's.
This is exactly what Hei Yichen thought of, and it is also the problem that Hei Yichen gave Liu Yunhao.
