Chapter 19: "Them"
"Fortunately, Song Biao and they took away most of the Yin corpses, otherwise with our troops, they would not have lasted more than a day."
In the tent, Lu Zhenfeng, who had just returned from outside, picked up a jar of cold water and drank it wantonly.
The Yin Corps is far more difficult than the average enemy.
And they have to resist not being bitten by them at all times, and the double pressure of physical strength and spirit makes the progress of strangulation very slow, not even as fast as the spread of the Yin Corpse Plague.
"The reply from the chief guard has arrived, and at noon the day after tomorrow, Xu Haiguo's reinforcements will arrive."
"However, in order to prevent the spread of the Yin Corpse Plague, the reinforced troops will not enter the city, and Xu Hai will personally lead four captains into the city to join us and assist us in suppressing the plague." Handing the reply letter from the chief guard to Lu Zhenfeng, Zhao Wude rubbed his sour eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised:
"Xu Haiguo used the excuse of delay, and the matter of delaying the military plane was also exposed, and the higher authorities ordered that after the Yin corpse plague, a cadre should be strictly investigated, and the people should be dealt with again, so as to set an example."
Surprised to receive the reply, Lu Zhenfeng glanced at it carefully, and then laughed and said:
"Hahaha, Xu Bald was planted this time, he probably didn't expect that we would suddenly break out of the Yin Corpse Plague."
"The Yin Corpse Plague broke out, and the General Guard needed a scapegoat to explain to the imperial court, and this beauty difference came and went, and Xu Bald was the most suitable." Shaking his head with a light smile, Zhao Wude's eyes were deep:
"It's a pity for the people of this city......"
The Yin Corpse Plague was menacing, affecting the whole city in just a few days, and the city of tens of thousands of people became a living ghost in an instant, which really made Zhao Wude, who had been stationed here for many years, feel a little gloomy.
Feeling the helplessness in Zhao Wude's words, Lu Zhenfeng opened his mouth to comfort:
"Such natural disasters are not something we can prevent and save. All we can do now is to suppress the plague and annihilate Song Biao and them at the same time. ”
"By the way, there's one more thing." Putting it away, Zhao Wude's expression became serious:
"Hasn't the missing Gao Hongyi been found?"
Gao Hongyi, the Chu soldier who disappeared inexplicably the night before the outbreak of the Yin Corpse Plague.
Speaking of this, Lu Zhenfeng also frowned:
"No, this kid is like evaporating from the world, I distributed his portrait the day before yesterday, but at noon today, the teams reported that they had not seen him."
"You say, could it be that he was gnawed and eaten clean by the Yin Corpse?" Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wude put forward an idea.
"It's unlikely, the yin corpse eats people, but most of them eat the flesh and blood of the internal organs, even if they are bitten by a group of corpses, the face will not be completely destroyed, and it is impossible to disappear so cleanly." Lu Zhenfeng shook his head and said.
"I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die, where did this Gao Hongyi go......" Clenching his fists, Zhao Wude's brows slowly wrinkled into a Sichuan character.
The corpse has been revealed, and this Gao Hongyi has disappeared again.
Could it be that ...... "they" are really coming?!
……
"Guan Peng, the third general flag of the waist knife team is blocked at the Yau Ma archway, you go and bring them out."
The wind and dust servants came back from outside, and Lin Teng found Guan Peng, who was exercising his night eyes on the tower.
The Yin Corps is very fast running, and it is difficult for an ordinary archer to hit the center of the eyebrows with an arrow.
Therefore, when the team of Chu soldiers was blocked by the Yin Corps, Lin Teng and Guan Peng could only go out to snipe the Yin Corps from a distance and open a way for the besieged team.
"Got it, I'll go." In response, Guan Peng took a breath of hot air in his hand, and then slowly covered his sour eyes.
Dozens of seconds later, the discomfort in his eyes disappeared, and Guan Peng immediately tied a big bow and an arrow bag on his back, and rushed towards the place Lin Teng said.
Overcome the defenses built by the trapped.
Guan Peng turned over and climbed a nearby two-story wooden building.
Walking on flat ground, it is easy to encounter wandering Yin corpses, although this area has been swept by the Chu army, it is still difficult to guarantee that there will not be scattered Yin corpses wandering around.
Climbing onto the roof, Guan Peng walked through and jumped on the ridges of one roof.
With his current physical fitness, he can jump over at a casual jump of two or three meters, and fly the eaves and walk on the wall, as if walking on the ground.
There was no need to walk around the streets and alleys, Guan Peng, who was going straight all the way on the ridge, quickly rushed to the Yau Ma archway that Lin Teng said, and found the third general flag of the waist knife team that was blocked in a dead end.
"Brothers, hold on, there is less than an hour before dawn, as long as the sun comes out, these yin corpses will retreat by themselves."
Heli carried a broken Eight Immortals table as a shield, and Qian Hao, the third chief flag officer, gritted his teeth to cheer up his subordinates behind him.
After a few days of strangulation, part of the habits of the Yin corpse was gradually discovered.
Diurnal and nocturnal, fire-phobic and bloodthirsty, with average vision and a well-developed sense of smell.
Relying on these habits that have been explored, the Chu army has reduced the casualty rate to one-twentieth when facing the Yin corpse, but it cannot completely avoid casualties.
Bowing down and squatting on the thick stone pillar of the Yau Ma archway, Guan Peng's left eye narrowed slightly, his right arm exerted force, and the deer tendon bow in his hand was instantly pulled to the full moon.
Bang!
Arrows shot out like dragons, and the roar of the air was like thunder on the ground, instantly tearing through this dead night.
Whew!
The powerful cluster of arrows pierced the eyebrows of one of the Yin corpses at an extremely tricky and vicious angle, and the other Yin corpse standing behind him was also pierced through the head.
Kill two birds with one stone!
Sun Hao looked in surprise in the direction where the arrow was flying.
The tall and straight figure stands on the archway, and a pair of dark blue eyes are faint and bright, overlooking this side.
"Saved! It's Guan Peng! ”
"The apprentice of the Lin team?"
", who else in our camp has such strong archery skills besides him!"
Guan Peng's arrival gave hope to the soldiers of the Chu army, who had been surrounded by fear.
Whoosh!
Arrows out of the beads, no example!
After doubling his physical fitness, Guan Peng is now much easier to open the bow and send arrows, and the bowstring that can only be pulled to the full moon with nine points of strength is now a full bow when he pulls it casually.
Under Guan Peng's precise and vicious archery sniping, the yin corpses that surrounded Sun Hao and others were quickly shot to death.
The entire alleyway was covered with corpses, and almost half of the arrows on each corpse had disappeared into their heads.
"It's almost dawn, so go back quickly." Standing on the archway, Guan Peng whispered to Sun Hao and the others.
The corpse is nocturnal and hates the sun, but the sun does nothing to harm it.
Moreover, when dawn rises, when day and night alternate, the Yin corpse will become extremely irritable, and the biggest loss of the Chu army is the Li Min after midnight on the first day.
Later, after learning this rule, every time it was almost dawn, the Chu army would withdraw to the defense line and wait until dawn to continue the search.
"Got it, thank you Brother Guan Peng for the rescue!" Yao Yao hugged his fists at Guan Peng and thanked him, and Sun Hao immediately left this dead end with his men who had escaped death and returned towards the defense line.
Watching Sun Hao and the others leave, Guan Peng turned sideways and prepared to go back.
But the moment he turned around.
The moon in the sky, which was originally as bright as jade, suddenly turned into a terrifying blood moon as bright red as blood!
