Chapter 22: The Soul Ripper King

A group of them quickly ran to the top of the hill, lying in the grass and showing their heads to look down, there was a gate less than two miles away in front of them, the city wall was full of a group of people, and there was a ditch below, a group of strange-looking demons were confronting the people on the city wall, because they were far away, they could only vaguely see the outline of the group of monsters, but they couldn't see the appearance clearly.

Huai Chong pointed to the checkpoint and said: "There is one of the three checkpoints of the Gathering Wind Pass, it seems that the big war between the Falling Moon Country and the Demon Clan is inevitable!" Mo Xiaofeng said: "Which branch of the Demon Clan are those guys?" Huai Chong said: "I have been imprisoned in the Falling Moon Country, and I can't tell the faction of the Twenty-six Demon Clan, which clan they are, I can't say for a while!"

At this time, another group of troops came from the other side of the demon army, and Mo Xiaofeng said to Huai Chong: "Look, those must be the main army of the demon clan has arrived!" Huai Chong looked at it, as if he remembered something, and said: "I remember, these demons should be the heart eaters among the twenty-six demons, they are strange by nature, extremely ferocious, and like to eat people's hearts the most!"

"Heart Eater?" Mo Xiaofeng smiled, looked at those demon armies and said, "Fortunately, people's hearts are the most difficult to eat!"

Huai Chong frowned and said: "The demon clan has tens of thousands of troops dispatched this time, and it seems that there will be a bloody battle soon!"

Mo Xiaofeng smiled evilly and said, "But that's okay, let's lead everyone to help them repel the demon army, so that they will definitely let all of us into the city!"

Tang Lie said: "But we only have less than 2,000 people, and all the brothers have been on the road for a day and a night, and they are already lacking in physical strength, I'm afraid it's not a good time for us to send troops!" Zhuang Han said in a rough voice from the side: "What are you afraid of, no matter what demons and monsters he is, Lao Tzu will still smash them one by one!" Mo Xiaofeng said: "We can't act rashly, in my opinion, when they are tired of beating us, we will come by surprise, and cooperate with the army of the Falling Moon Country to attack him inside and out, and beat him down!" Huai Chong nodded and said: " That's right, let's wait a while!"

At this time, seeing that the demon army under the city couldn't wait to attack the city with all its might, among the few horsemen in the middle, there was one dressed in golden armor, dressed in a grand attire, and looked like a leader. Huai Chong said: "Look at the one who took the lead, he is the king of the Heart-Eating Clan, known as the King of Soul Pulling!"

Mo Xiaofeng looked at it, his eyes were fixed on the Soul Ripping King in the distance, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could vaguely see his every move, only to see the Soul Ripping King raise the sword in his hand, point at the city wall and give an order, and then a horn sounded, and all the demon army ghosts roared and rushed to the city wall, starting a big battle with the people above. Bows and arrows shot down on the city wall like a torrential rain, and the demon army first fired catapults at the city wall, and then quickly pushed the trench into the trench, carrying the city wall on the take-off ladder and climbing up.

After about a stick of incense, the two sides have been fighting desperately and fiercely, and there is a stalemate. Seeing the fierce battle, Huai Chong said to Mo Xiaofeng: "I see that we are almost attacking now, I am afraid that the demon clan will have reinforcements to arrive after a while, which will not be beneficial to the Falling Moon Country and us, so it is better to take advantage of it now!" Mo Xiaofeng nodded and said: "Well, now should be the time, and when we go down, we must capture the Soul ......Pulling King!" Are you sure of this?" Mo Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Don't forget, we have poisonous smoke!" Huai Chong said: "It is a good way to release poison, but it will inevitably hurt the people of the Falling Moon Country at the same time." Mo Xiaofeng said: "You are wrong, I didn't release poisonous smoke to hurt them, but for another purpose!" Huai Chong was puzzled, only to see a narrow smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the demon army is going all out to attack Guancheng, and the King of Soul Pulling is riding on a horse, with a confident expression on his face, he seems to be very sure of this siege, these 20,000 troops will definitely be able to capture Jufeng Pass, and then as soon as his reinforcements arrive, he can take advantage of the high morale to take the remaining two passes and go straight to Lan Night City. He thought about the scene of his victory in his light, and he couldn't help but smile proudly. Suddenly, one of his subordinates rode over and said, "King Qiqi, we have found a group of unknown people fighting on the eastern hillside, I don't know if they are friends or foes!"

"A group of unknown people?" looked at the eastern hillside of the Great Soul Pulling Dynasty, and couldn't figure out where these people came from, and said to his subordinates: "You take a small group of people to take a look first, and come back quickly to report to me!" His subordinate replied, "Your subordinates are going now!" and ran away with a small group of people who were fighting from the hillside.

On the hillside, it turned out that Zhuang Han was staging a play with his men, and Zhuang Han pretended to be chased and killed by a group of people in order to lure them over. Sure enough, the spies of the demon army rode over on horseback, and the one at the front shouted and threatened: "Hey, who are you, dare to come here to spread wild, hurry up and report your name, otherwise I will release the arrow!" They didn't know that this was just Mo Xiaofeng's plan, only to see Zhuang Han knock down all the people who were chasing him, he was tired and panting, and raised a breath to greet: "General, I am my own person, don't let go of the arrow!"

When the spies approached, Zhuang Han had seen their faces clearly, they were strong, with black hair, a long orangutan face, and a hideous face, and the leader came over and asked: "Who are you, what are you doing here?" Zhuang Han said: "General, I was sent by the Great King of Taixi, and I came to inform you that the enemy army was cheating, and the Falling Moon Country invited a group of reinforcements from nowhere, and they are rushing to this side, intending to encircle us inside and outside, and quickly inform the king, and withdraw the army as soon as possible!" Are you really telling the truth?" Zhuang Han said bitterly: "General, the little one really doesn't dare to tell the slightest lie, or if it's not true, you will cut off my head!" The leader pointed to those who were knocked down by Zhuang Han: "Then what happened to these people?" Zhuang Han said: "When these people came to the small one, they were discovered by the reinforcement spies of the Falling Moon Country, so they came to hunt me down, but fortunately, there were not many people, and they were all solved by me." The leader was skeptical, "Hmm!" nodded and said, "You come with me first!" and said to a person beside him, "You take him on the horse." ”

So he got on one of the horses and followed him to the camp of the demon army. The leading spy saw the Soul Puller King and said, "King, we found a person who said that he was sent by the Great Evil King. Zhuang Han got off his horse and saluted the Soul Ripping King, "The little one is the king!" looked up at the Soul Ripping King, who was thick and burly, with dark skin, and also had an orangutan face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face was covered with sideburns, like a bearded chimpanzee.

The Soul Ripping King's voice was high-pitched, and he asked Zhuang Han, "You were sent by the Taievil King?"

Zhuang Han said: "Yes, the king, we learned that the Falling Moon Country has invited a large number of reinforcements, and they are rushing here to come, they want to copy us, we have been tricked!"

The Soul Ripping King said: "How do you make me believe in you?" Zhuang Han said: "King, you can let people investigate, I am in your hands, if there is a fake, you can cut off my head immediately!"

A lieutenant general beside the Soul Ripper King said: "King, I think it's better to believe it than not, it's better for us to send someone to investigate first, if it's really like what he said, we will suffer a big loss!" "Hmm!" The Soul Ripping King nodded and said to the spies: "You guys go and investigate, you have to go back quickly!"

"Yes, my lord!" the spies commanded, and ran up the hillside with a group of men. The Soul Pulling King looked at Zhuang Han and said, "Boy, let me tell you, you must not play tricks on me, if you dare to lie to me, I will take out your heart and cook it!" Zhuang Han bowed his head and said, "The little one doesn't dare!"

The spies were riding horses to the top of the hillside, just to the place where Zhuang Han and a group of people were fighting before, suddenly a puff of yellow smoke appeared in the weeds, and it spread quickly, and those spies didn't know what it was, running towards the yellow smoke, and when they felt that something was wrong, it was over, and suddenly several of them fell off the horse one by one.

The Soul Pulling King and the others did not pay attention to the situation on the uphill slope, Zhuang Han first saw that they were tricked, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and shouted: "Not good!" pointed to the yellow smoke on the hillside and said: "Look, the king, the yellow smoke is poisonous, it seems that their reinforcements are coming!"

The Soul Ripping King Chao looked at the large wave of yellow smoke, and the spies he sent fell down one by one when they touched the yellow smoke, and said in surprise: "What's the matter, what is that?" At this time, several of his lieutenants were also panicked, Zhuang Han said: "King, if we don't retreat first, the poisonous smoke is so powerful, I'm afraid that if we don't retreat, we won't have a way out!" What are I afraid of, they have reinforcements, we also have them, maybe our reinforcements will arrive soon, let me meet the reinforcements they invited in a while, and see what they are from!"

Zhuang Han said: "King, don't hide it, our reinforcements have been intercepted and killed by them on the way, using this poisonous smoke, king, this poisonous smoke is really powerful, let's retreat first and then reconsider!"

The Soul Ripping King scolded: "Nonsense, you dare to stir the hearts of the army here, be careful that I will cut you down now!" After speaking, he suddenly heard the voices behind the yellow smoke, and the deputy general panicked: "King, listen to that voice, is it their reinforcements have arrived!"

The Soul Ripper King angrily reprimanded: "What are you panicking about!" The deputy general said: "King, if we don't retreat, the poisonous smoke alone will be enough for us, let's think about it in the long run!"

The Soul Pulling King was also a little hesitant, and said to Zhuang Han: "Have you found out how many of them there are?" Zhuang Han said: "No less than 20,000!" The Soul Pulling King suddenly widened his eyes and said sharply: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" He turned his head to the deputy general and said: "Quickly pass my order, everyone retreats in the west!" So the deputy general passed the order, and a horn sounded in the crowd, and everyone stopped attacking the city and retreated urgently.

On the city wall, the person with white hair is a soldier of the Falling Moon Country, seeing the sudden retreat of the demon army, I don't know why, several generals are wondering, a general who is about thirty years old wearing silver chain mail, and said to another man with a beard: "Hey, why did the demon army retreat?" At this time, a man in gold armor who was about forty years old hurriedly walked over and said to the general who spoke just now: "What's the matter, why did the demon army retreat?" This person was full of beard, his sword eyebrows were raised, his nose was big and his mouth was wide, and he was full of majestic aura. The general saw him and said, "Big brother, we don't know what the demon army is selling, do we want to chase after it!" The man in gold armor said steadily: "Don't act rashly, be careful of deception!"

Under the city, the demon army was retreating to the west, but unexpectedly, a group of people were suddenly surrounded on the hills in the west, holding bows and arrows and aiming at them, the deputy general of the Soul Pulling King saw that the front was not good, and hurriedly said: "Look, the king, the hillside in front is full of archers!" Zhuang Han said: "It's not good, the king, it's all reinforcements from the Falling Moon Country, let's retreat to the south instead!" The Soul Pulling King panicked and said: "Are we really surrounded by them?" Zhuang Han said: "Don't be discouraged too early, if we evacuate to the south now, maybe there will be a glimmer of life!" The Soul Ripper King didn't think much about it, so he simply tried his luck and shouted, "Quick...... Fast...... Evacuate to the south, you must hurry!" The Soul Ripper King led his army to quickly retreat to the hills to the south, and after some tossing, they were out of order. At this time, Huai Chong led a group of people to run close to the city wall, Huai Chong saw from afar that the commander in gold armor on the city wall he knew, his name was Wu Sa, Huai Chong shouted: "General Wu Sa, in Xia Wei Shen Island Huai Chong came to help, now the demon army is in chaos, hurry out of the city to pursue!"

On the city wall, Wu Sa heard someone shouting, followed the sound, and saw that Huai Chong under the city wall was letting them go out of the city to pursue, Wu Sa said to the two generals beside him: "Look at that person, it is Huai Chong, it is Huai Chong!"

The slightly younger man in silver chain mail said: "Why is he here, hasn't he been expelled from the country?" Another general with a beard and a rectangular face said: "He asked us to go out of the city to pursue, should we go out of the city?" The one wearing silver chain mail said: "I don't think it's appropriate, Huai Chong has been imprisoned by the king for eight years, so it's not good that he is hostile to our Falling Moon Country, what if he wants to take revenge, help the demon army lure us out of the city, and then attack us in turn!" He stretched out his hand and pointed to the demon army retreating on the hill and said: "You see, when the demon army retreated, the formation was scattered and unorganized, obviously not like it was prepared in advance, and I understand the actions of the gods, they regard the demon clan as a mortal enemy, and will never take refuge in the demon army, even if Huai Chong wants to betray us, but he will never betray the gods!" The rectangular face said: "Then we will open the city gate and chase after it." Wu Sa said: "Hurry up and order everyone to follow me out of the city to kill the demon army!"

The Soul Ripper King and dozens of soldiers around him rode in front, seeing that the reinforcements on both sides of the enemy were attacking left and right, and at this time, the soldiers of the Falling Moon Country chased after them from behind. Zhuang Han raised his voice and said to the other soldiers in his busy schedule: "It's not good, the people of the Falling Moon Country are catching up, we might as well leave a few teams of men and horses behind to resist for a while, and the rest of the people will retreat with the king!" One of the generals said: "The king, if you don't withdraw first, a few of us will bring people to drag them down!" The soul pulling king said: "No, how can I leave you alone!" The deputy general said: "King, there is no need to say more, you just have to rest assured, we will be able to retreat with our whole body, and I will find you in the woods in front later!" "Well, you must be careful, save your life, don't fall in love, and we will meet in the forest ahead!" the lieutenant nodded in agreement, turned his head and led some of the men and horses back.
