Chapter Forty-Six: The Night Battle
In the dark shadows, Ye Boyu couldn't see how many Yin soldiers were killed, some with guns, some with knives, some with bows and arrows, and those with swords, layer by layer, column by column, all of them were incomplete, some had broken legs, some were missing arms, and some were disemboweled, bleeding locally, and even more, most of their heads were cut off by sharp weapons, which was indescribably hideous and terrifying. Zi Yan only felt gloomy, and she had goosebumps all over her body. Involuntarily took a few steps back, almost leaning his back against the cliff, looking at Ye Boyu, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Boyu, what should I do now?" There are too many Yin soldiers, I can't kill them!"
Ye Boyu also frowned deeply, and said in a low voice: "Pretend to resist for a while, and then open a bloody path from the flank, and let's wait for the opportunity to escape." ”
The war ghost giant axe riding a war horse swung forward and roared, black smoke billowed behind him, and the countless Yin soldiers shouted in unison and rushed towards the two of them.
Although Ye Boyu is already in the middle stage of refining, Zi Yan is also in the late stage of qi induction, ten or eight ordinary war ghosts and powerful ghosts are not a problem at all, they are ghost generals, and it doesn't take much effort to kill one or two, but among these thousands of Yin soldiers, there are countless wandering spirits and ghost pawns, and there are also thousands of big ghosts and powerful ghosts, especially the war ghost who is in the lead, and he is about to cultivate to the level of a ghost general.
Ye Boyu didn't dare to hold it up, urging the whole body to use his strength, the sword body faintly released an inch long white light, and the starting hand was a move "blood light to the sky", the sword light Huo Huo, went straight to the war ghost and stabbed it, the war ghost was very cunning, knowing that Ye Boyu was powerful, he urged the war horse and fled to the group of Yin soldiers, and disappeared in an instant.
The so-called capture the thief first captures the king, so many yin soldiers, killing will definitely not be able to kill, if you want to restrain this group of yin soldiers, Ye Boyu knows that you must first kill the leader of the war ghost. At the moment, he chased after Ye Boyu with a sword, and along the way, he even chopped and chopped, and killed dozens of Yin soldiers who stood in the way, and the Yin soldiers on both sides saw Ye Boyu rushing in, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds indiscriminately slashed towards Ye Boyu, Ye Boyu's long sword circled, and a move "blood shadow was dense", protecting the whole body, blocking the weapons of the Yin soldiers outside, and the sword spit out, and dozens of Yin soldiers around him were shocked to the bottom of the cliff.
In addition to the war ghost riding a war horse, there are also Yin soldiers of various cultivations, those Yin soldiers at the level of wandering spirits and ghost pawns have not yet touched the long sword, and they are swept away by the sword, and they will turn into black smoke and disappear without a trace. Those big ghosts and powerful ghosts with slightly higher cultivation can still resist a little, but as long as they are swept by the long sword, they will definitely die.
Ye Boyu unfolded his body, pointing east and west, and came and went, like a divine dragon seeing the head and not seeing the tail, killing in and out of the Yin soldiers, all of them were invincible, and for a while, black smoke rose in the plank road, and countless Yin soldiers below the level of ghosts were eliminated.
Zi Yan leaned against the cliff with her back, and under the Biquan sword, she opened the "Blood Shadow Divine Sword", and also cut down a lot of wandering spirits and ghost pawns, the Biquan sword absorbed enough yin qi, and the green light flashed, and the entire mountain road illuminated was dark green.
When the battle was in full swing, suddenly there was a long howl out of nowhere, and the yin soldiers suddenly changed their formation, turning into a big ghost holding a shield in front, a big ghost holding a halberd behind him, and then a powerful ghost with a bow and arrow, and endless ghosts and wandering spirits. The three armies hid behind their shields and advanced step by step.
Ye Boyu and Zi Yan were stunned, and when they didn't pay attention, they could still resist for a while when the Yin soldiers were in chaos.
"What can I do now?" Zi Yan watched the Yin Soldier Shield Army approach step by step, and hurriedly turned around and asked in a low voice.
"It can't be helped. Thirty-six plans are the upper ones. Ye Boyu said in a low voice: "As soon as I make a gesture for a while, the two of us will rush forward together, break through a gap, run as far as we can, and get rid of this group of Yin soldiers." ”
Zi Yan pressed the long sword in her hand and nodded. I saw that the big ghost holding the shield in the front row had already walked in front of him less than ten steps away, and the big ghost holding the long halberd in the back also followed, and the tips of Leng Sensen's halberd brushed at Ye Boyu and Zi Yan.
"Zi Yan, hurry!" Ye Boyu let out a low shout, the long sword flashed, and in an instant, he slashed at the front of several big ghosts, Zi Yan followed backwards, and also cut down a few ghost pawns who surrounded him, and the two quickly rushed through a gap from the flank, one after the other to open a bloody path, and rushed forward at the fastest speed.
After rushing for a while, Ye Boyu was about to look back at the movement of the Yin soldiers behind him, when suddenly a horse neighing sounded from the side, the wind above his head was loud, and a huge axe of opening the mountain slashed towards the two of them, it turned out that the war ghost took advantage of the two of them not paying attention and sneaked over from the side.
Ye Boyu's eyes were quick, he returned his sword to block it, and was about to counterattack, but the war ghost lifted the reins again, and even led the horse into a black mist.
Ye Boyu didn't have time to chase anymore, just stopped for a while, the sound of bows and arrows behind him, and countless long arrows shot from behind. "Not good. Ye Boyu pulled Zi Yan behind him, and with another trick of "night battle" to protect the whole body of the two of them, knocking over a hundred or so wolf tooth arrows.
Ye Boyu and Zi Yan dared to stay any longer, spread their bodies, and fled forward with all their might, just hoping to get rid of this group of Yin soldiers as soon as possible.
After running for half a pillar of incense, Ye Boyu suddenly stopped, screamed bitterly, pulled Zi Yan, and stood aside.
"What's the matter? Why did you stop at this juncture?" Zi Yanqi said.
"Zi Yan, there is a lot of wind in front of us, and there is also a team of Yin soldiers in ambush. Ye Boyu smiled bitterly.
"What! there's an ambush ahead?" Zi Yan shouted. Before the words fell, I saw that the wind was rolling in front of me, people neighed and screamed, and a team of countless Yin soldiers came over.
Zi Yanqiao's face turned pale with fright, and Ye Boyu looked at each other, this Inner Shu Road is only a few feet wide, and the two sides are either steep walls with thousands of walls, or bottomless canyons, it can be said that there is an ambush in front of them, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, and the two of them are standing on the ground, and it is really difficult to fly with wings.
"Not true. Ye Boyu said in a low voice: "Zi Yan, you see that the banner of the group of Yin soldiers in front is completely different from the group in the back!"
"So what?" Zi Yan was so anxious that she didn't understand what Ye Boyu meant for a while.
"Zi Yan, this is the ancient battlefield where Wei and Shu fought each other, the two armies fought dozens of battles, countless casualties, and hundreds of thousands of bones, maybe these two groups of Yin soldiers were the Wei army and the Shu army back then. Ye Boyu said in a low voice: "They were mortal enemies before they were alive, and they still fought each other after death. Perhaps, these Yin soldiers are not here for the two of us. ”
"You're saying they're fighting, and we've inadvertently broken into someone's battlefield?" Zi Yan asked.
"That's how it should be, let's go. As soon as Ye Boyu looked up, he saw a boulder halfway up the mountain behind him, covered with moss and weeds, so he pulled Zi Yan's hand, and the two of them rose into the air and hid behind the boulder.
As soon as the two of them hid, the Yin soldiers chasing behind arrived, and they collided with the Yin soldiers in ambush in front, as Ye Boyu said, these two groups of Yin soldiers were the souls of the Wei Shu army back then. At this time, when the enemies saw each other, their eyes were red, and tens of thousands of Yin soldiers fought together, killing in the dark.
Ye Boyu and Zi Yan originally thought that the two teams of Yin soldiers would meet in a narrow way, and they would only fight and slash indiscriminately, but who knew that the situation was fundamentally different from what the two of them thought.
The war ghost reappeared at some point, taking the lead, and the Yin soldiers behind were divided into three teams, becoming the halberd team in the front, the shield team in the middle, the archers team in the back, and finally the ghost pawn. With a wave of the war ghost giant axe, the archers and archers drew their long bows, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, taking advantage of the chaos in the opponent's army, the Yin soldiers rushed over and killed them.
Another pair of Yin soldiers had already prepared, and the leading general was also a war ghost riding a black horse and wearing black armor, but he was holding a spear in his hand, watching ten thousand arrows shoot, the spear was raised upward, and the shield army behind him was ordered to go up first, raising the shield to block the flying arrows. The spear war ghost danced his spear by himself, pushed away the random arrows around him, and saw the giant axe war ghost rushing towards him, and the war horse between his legs also flew forward, and the two ghosts fought in one place.
The tens of millions of Yin soldiers behind the two war ghosts shouted in unison, surging up like a tide, and in an instant, the sword light and sword shadow, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
"It's so powerful!" Zi Yan watched the countless Yin soldiers under her feet fighting together, countless swords, guns, swords, halberds and halberds were fighting indiscriminately, and the usual battles between the rivers and lakes were not the same at all, there were people everywhere, weapons everywhere, and those usual moves were not useful at all, although she was behind the boulder, she still shuddered.
"Zi Yan, look. The banner in the Yin soldiers who chased us just now. Ye Boyu pointed his finger.
Zi Yan lowered her head and looked from a distance, and sure enough, she saw that the Yin soldier banner behind her faintly seemed to have a big "Shu" character, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Bo Yu, is it not?"
"Zi Yan, there must be the army of Prime Minister Zhuge in the past, and the army that fought with them must be Sima Yi's army. Ye Boyu said in a low voice: "These Yin soldiers are really pitiful, they have fought a lifetime of battles in front of them, and they are still fighting endlessly after death. ”
Zi Yan thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, so she shook her head and said, "Brother Bo Yu, then where do we help?"
Ye Boyu pressed Zi Yan's hand and said, "No, I won't help either end." ”
"Don't help either end?" Zi Yanxing's eyes widened, and she looked at Ye Boyu suspiciously.
"Exactly, neither end helps. Ye Boyu said calmly: "There is no Wei Shuzhi to say now, if we rush out, it will only attract those Yin soldiers to greet us at the same time." ”
Zi Yan nodded, and then looked at her feet, only to see that in the darkness, the two teams of Yin soldiers were killing, and the two leading war ghosts were also coming and going, and the killing was inseparable.
