Chapter 790: Blockade
After a cumbersome ritual of sacrificing to the sky, the birthday banquet finally began, and the ministers on the main hall competed to toast, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and they were very happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It's just that Gu Tao has always seemed a little absent-minded, and at the same time a little worried, although Qin Shousheng has done a good job, he is still worried, after all, the opponent is Gu Changfeng.
At dusk, a flying eagle handbook was held in Qin Shousheng's hand.
The above probably said: Yunhai City and Yuntian City were fiercely attacked by Gu Changfeng at the same time, and I hope that Gu Tao can send troops to help as soon as possible.
Qin Shousheng was suddenly furious, and tore the letter to shreds, he really didn't expect Gu Changfeng to be so cunning, he actually started with the ten main cities around him, he didn't have to think much to know that he had mobilized a lot of generals from these ten main cities, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to resist Gu Changfeng's fierce attack.
However, there is one thing that Qin Shousheng is secretly glad of, Gu Changfeng is so conceited that he attacked the two main cities at the same time, which is simply an extremely stupid behavior.
Therefore, Qin Shousheng suggested that Gu Tao on the one hand, send the two city lords of Cloud Capital City and Cloud Mist City, which are closest to Yunhai City and Cloud Sky City, to support the two cities, and at the same time, Qin Shousheng himself led the army out of the city to meet Gu Changfeng.
Gu Tao almost didn't think about it, so he did what Qin Shousheng wanted, which could be regarded as completely burying the last bit of qi of his Gu family.
The war on the side of the ancient kingdom has begun, and it is not only the fifth night that is secretly paying attention to this war, but also the leader of the south, Murong Bai, as long as it is confirmed that this side has really fought here, Murong Bai will also immediately take action against the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.
On this day, the Wuji Gate, which had been silent for a long time, became lively, and more than 20 heads gathered here, everyone sat in a side courtyard, drinking tea, chatting, and talking and laughing for a while.
This is after a little thought, only after a little thought, the more than 20 sects here were selected, although the strength is average, but the value is loyalty, and it is a hardcore follower of the Wuji Gate.
"You leaders have come from afar, and the old man has missed the welcome, what a sin, a sin......"
Seeing that Luo Wuji was coming, everyone hurriedly got up and arched their hands: "The master of Wuji Gate is polite, polite." ”
Everyone sat down one after another, chatting for a while, and some people couldn't hold back their curiosity, why did Luo Wuji call everyone over at the same time, there must be something.
Looking at everyone's inquiring eyes, Xiao Wuji said his thoughts without concealment, taking advantage of Chu Yan's absence at the moment, he wanted to unite everyone to get rid of Ling Xiao Pavilion.
I thought that these people would immediately agree, and even the crowd was emotional, but such a thing did not happen. I saw that these twenty or so leaders, you look at me, I look at you, and none of them nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Luo Wuji was disheartened, but he didn't expect that these people he had carefully selected were no longer on the side of Wuji Gate, and they were conquered by Ling Xiao Pavilion.
Murong Bai on the side is in a hurry, don't mention it, you are talking a little, but this old man doesn't seem to be able to bear such a blow for a while, he just lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
There was no way, so in the end, Murong Bai had to come forward by himself.
After telling Chu Yan's current situation, Murong Bai promised heavy profits, and these heads could be regarded as agreeing, and if they followed the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, they would definitely not suffer any losses.
But they still underestimated Murong Bai, and when these masters were leaving, Murong Bai took out more than two dozen poison pills that he had personally refined.
This is a chronic poison, as long as the antidote is taken regularly, it can ensure that the poison does not attack, which is Murong Bai's usual trick to gather people's hearts.
Although these leaders were reluctant, if they didn't eat this poison, they were afraid that their lives would be lost immediately, so they swallowed the poison and returned to their own sect.
........................
Ancient civilizations.
Zhang Wentai and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under Ye Remnant have launched a fierce attack for a day and night. It can really be said that there are dead and wounded, and there is a river of blood.
However, Yunhai City and Yuntian City miraculously survived by relying on the strong city walls and the attitude of the heart of death.
It was dawn now, and the two sides had a tacit understanding, and they actually stopped at the same time, making their soldiers gasp.
At this time, the vanguard of the reinforcements led by Qin Shousheng had already reached the entrance of the canyon, and after some careful investigation, no abnormalities were found, and they were about to continue to rush forward, but unexpectedly a heavy fog suddenly rose.
The fog spread very quickly, and in just a few breaths, it had already filled the entire valley, and at the same time spread outward very quickly.
In the mountains, it was early in the morning, and fog was common, and the vanguard officer only hesitated a little before ordering the troops to move on.
But just as he was about to give the order, he found that he couldn't speak, and before he could react, his eyes suddenly became blind and he couldn't see anything, and then the remaining sense of hearing and smell seemed to have problems, and finally, he fell from his horse and passed out.
Obviously, the fog is poisonous, and it comes from Chang Presence's handiwork.
This poison is not violent, and it is not fatal enough, but it makes people lose all their senses, fall asleep, and if they don't get out of the fog, don't think about waking up, even if they get out of the fog, it will take at least ten hours to wake up completely.
It's not that he is always soft-hearted, and he didn't take out those poisonous poisons, but the materials needed are too huge, even with Chu Yan's current family background, he can't help but break out in a cold sweat when he hears it.
In the end, after some discussion, Chu Yan decided to use this kind of mist, firstly, it covers a wide area and spreads quickly, secondly, it will not arouse suspicion, the most important thing is to save money and medicinal materials, but despite this, the three-layer medicinal materials in the heart of the earth's blood have been squandered.
The vanguard was only 50,000 people, and now all of them were sleeping in the canyon, while behind was Qin Shousheng's main force, which numbered about two million.
When he saw the fog ahead, this guy was quite cautious and ordered the army to rest for the time being, waiting for news from the vanguard in front.
But there was no news from the left, and there was no news from the left, Qin Shousheng was a little anxious, didn't it just fog, this is a very common phenomenon in the mountains, and it is estimated that the vanguard has already passed through.
So, Qin Shousheng ordered the army to march out and walked into the mist step by step.
It may be that the range is too wide, it will take a while to enter the fog before it can be poisoned, but this is exactly what Chu Yan has done, because if a person passes out as soon as he enters, it won't take long to find out.
A full 300,000 people disappeared into the fog before Qin Shousheng noticed it, so he hurriedly ordered the army to stop.
The accompanying group of masters also seemed to have discovered something unusual, because their divine senses could not observe the situation inside the mist at all, thanks to the formation of the moon. Coupled with this poisonous mist, everyone felt uneasy.
The leaders of the master group are two old men, both of whom are the ancestors of the Gu family, named Gu Dingbang, and Gu Dingguo, and their cultivation has reached the seven grades of the Holy Monarch. There was also an ancestor of the ancient family, the holy monarch who cultivated three grades, named Gudingcheng.
The three of them discussed with Qin Shousheng and decided that it would not be too late to wait for the fog to clear before leaving, or they would return the same way now and choose another way to go over.
Qin Shousheng felt that he couldn't get over his face when he returned the same way, after all, this road was chosen by him, and he also argued with Gu Dingbang for this, and going back now was tantamount to slapping himself in the face, so on the grounds that those soldiers who had fainted in the fog, he decided to rest in place, and it was not too late to leave when the fog dissipated.
From the morning until dusk, the fog has not shown any signs of dissipation, Gu Dingbang and Gu Dingguo can't sit still, and it will be dangerous to wait any longer for Yunhai City and Yuntian City. So I found Qin Shousheng here.
The two old men said their thoughts, meaning that they wanted to go back the way they came, and take another way, and as for the soldiers who died in the fog, they could leave a group of people to wait here, and when the fog cleared and the people woke up, they would find a way to join the army.
Qin Shousheng has always loved face, and felt that Gu Dingbang and Gu Dingguo looked down on him, and now that he is back the same way, it won't be long before the army will know that as the commander of the three armies, how can he be teased by his own soldiers.
"Two Ancestors, you have been thinking too much. Qin Shousheng smiled, pointed to the fog not far in front and said: "Although this fog is poisonous, it will definitely not last long, at the latest tomorrow at noon, this fog will dissipate, you don't have to worry." ”
"Marshal, I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think. Gu Dingbang frowned, "As far as the old man knows, there has never been a poisonous fog here, and it is estimated that this is Gu Changfeng's trick, in order to delay our marching speed and buy time for him to capture Yunhai City and Yuntian City." ”
"Yes, Marshal, now is definitely not the time to make a mistake, let's quickly order the withdrawal of troops, and we will go the other way. ”
Watching the two sing and harmonize, Qin Shousheng was furious, but it was not easy to make it, after all, he was the ancestor of the ancient family, and he still had to get by in terms of face.
"Two Ancestors, as long as we pass through the canyon in front, we will be able to surround Gu Changfeng's army in two days, isn't it a pity to turn around and go back just because of this sudden fog?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Dingbang and Gu Dingguo hesitated, thinking to themselves, in case the fog disperses early tomorrow morning, it would be too much of a loss to turn around and go back now, and it would be a few days to walk.
Seeing the hesitant appearance of the two old men, Qin Shousheng hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Two ancestors, rest assured, there are still hundreds of thousands of defenders in Yuntian City and Yunhai City, and the two city lords of Cloud City and Cloud Capital City next to them have already sent troops to help, it is estimated that there will be absolutely no problem before we arrive, and the two ancestors will rest assured." ”
"Okay......" After a long time, Gu Dingbang nodded, "Since the marshal said so, the old man is not good to say, but if the fog does not disperse at noon tomorrow, we must turn around and go back." ”
"Okay, that's fine, we'll make up our minds. ”
The conversation between the three of them was heard clearly by Chu Yan, he was on the edge of the fog at this time, and you could even see Qin Shousheng's vague appearance.
As for Chang Zai, who still didn't want to take out the medicinal materials to maintain the mist, Chu Yan, who was on the side, was shocked. (To be continued.) )
