Chapter 491: A group of corpses
Mo Qianli carried a gun and rode his horse, led three thousand cavalry, and rushed back along the mountain road, time was pressing, and the most important thing for him now was to take Rongcheng. Once you take Rongcheng, you will be able to cut off the supply lines and reinforcements of the Western Gui Army, and every day you hold on, the chances of the imperial court will be greater!
The sky was getting dark, and the moon was rising little by little.
"General Mo, rest for a while, even if people are not tired, the horses are also tired..."The cavalry behind him shouted loudly, their horses were not as good as Mo Qianli's divine horses, they were already too tired at this time, and if they ran down, they were afraid that they would die on the spot.
Mo Qianli glanced back and saw that the group of war horses were indeed tired, so he restrained his war horses: "Huh... Let's take a break, everyone. ”
As if they had been pardoned, the horsemen hurriedly reined in their horses, hurriedly dismounted, and led the horses aside, pacifying the soothing, and feeding the grass.
Mo Qianli threw down the reins, his war horse was extremely spiritual, and he also recognized the Lord, even if he didn't have the reins, he wouldn't run far. He let the horse move on its own, and he sat down on a large rock by the side of the road to rest.
"Mo... General..."Mo Qianli had just sat down when he heard an extremely faint shout coming from the forest behind him. With doubts in his heart, he stood up and shouted to the forest: "But the brother of the Yulin Army? Hurt? ”
The forest was silent, and there was not even a hint of shaking of the leaves.
"General Mo, you call us?" An adjutant general heard Mo Qianli's shout and hurriedly ran over to ask.
Mo Qianli pointed to the dense forest: "Someone inside just called me, the voice was weak, it should be the brother of the Yulin Army who was injured." You take a few people to check it out. ”
When the adjutant general heard this, he didn't shirk it, and beckoned two people to the forest: "Which way brother?" How many people are there? "A few people entered the forest, and after being covered by grass and trees, there was no movement.
"Vice Admiral Wang! Vice Admiral Wang! Mo Qianli shouted twice, but Vice General Wang, who went in, did not respond, Mo Qianli reached out and slowly touched the long knife on his waist: "Alert!" ”
As soon as the word "alert" was blurted out, countless roars suddenly came out of the jungle, the grass and trees rustled the leaves, and countless black shadows rushed out of the forest and pounced on the horsemen and war horses resting on the side of the road.
Mo Qianli's long knife came out in an instant, and with just one slash, he cut the two black shadows that pounced on him into two, blew a whistle with his backhand, and the war horse came in response. Jump on the horse and draw the broadsword at the side of the horse. With the war horse weapon in hand, his heart was a little calm, but when he looked back, he was still stunned.
Three thousand horsemen have been entangled by countless figures... In fact, it is not so much a figure as a corpse, I saw that they were either broken hands and feet, or their intestines were outflowing, or there were a few black holes in their heads, and they clearly looked like they had been dead for a long time!
Among the corpses, there were both the armor of the Yulin Army and the armor of the Xigui Army, and the two armies were mixed and extremely chaotic.
"Retreat!" Mo Qianli didn't know what was going on, but the top priority was to get out of here first, God knows how many of these monsters were there in the forest?
A group of horsemen went to find their war horses, but at this time they had already become a mess, not to mention the war horses, some people were in a panic, and they didn't even know where the weapons were lost, and they ran on foot, and some people panicked and simply jumped off the cliff, killing and injuring countless people.
"Don't mess around! Follow me! Mo Qianli shouted loudly, took the lead, turned the horse back, and fought a bloody way. The horsemen, either on horseback or on foot, followed in a haphazard manner.
Of the three thousand cavalry, in the end, less than a thousand people were left to follow Mo Qianli's footsteps and retreat to the way they came, and most of them were still without their horses. Thankfully, the monsters didn't chase after them.
"Mo... General Mo, what the hell was that just now? One of the horsemen asked, he was lucky enough to ride a horse out of the house, and as to whether the horse was his, only he knew it.
Mo Qianli shook his head slowly: "I don't know." ”
"I... I know. Another cavalry soldier escaped on foot, so tired that he couldn't breathe: "General Mo... Is that... The Walking Dead. ”
"The Walking Dead? What is it? Mo Qianli frowned puzzled.
The rider gasped a few times and said, "That monster has also appeared in the capital before. It's at the East City Gate, when the martial arts conference is held... In the middle of the night, countless of these monsters appeared at the East City Gate, and the people in the capital called them walking corpses, which seemed to be able to run with kinetic energy, but in fact they were all dead people..."
"I remember! At the beginning, the imperial court moved all the people in Dongcheng, and my second uncle's family was in Dongcheng, and he was also ordered by the imperial court to go to Nancheng, it turned out that these things were making trouble! The other rider thought and shouted busily.
"These things will bite, and the person who is bitten will die in a short time. On the Dongcheng side, more than a dozen families were bitten to death. Later, Qian Ning and Qian Dashuai, who was still the imperial court, beat this corpse back with one person and one sword..."
The others were shocked when they heard it: "Is there such a thing? Why haven't we heard of it! ”
"This matter is confidential, you are all Yulin Army, stationed outside the city, it's normal that you haven't heard of it! I was still in the Praetorian Guard, and I was sent to clean up the corpses that night, can I fool you? "The horseman reported to his home, and it turned out that he had been drawn from the Praetorian Guard.
Mo Qian's expression was solemn: "Didn't the imperial court track down these monsters?" ”
"General Mo, you don't know anything!" Mo Qianli's words seemed to ask the heart of this knight, and he couldn't help but show off the news he knew: "The imperial court naturally tracked it down, and later the Hai Xingwei dismembered the corpses one by one, and it turned out that there was a bug in the body that was controlling these corpses." ”
"The heavenly guards reported this to Your Majesty, and later heard that Your Majesty saw this kind of worm, so he ordered that the matter should not be investigated again, and then it was closed." The rider said.
"Hahaha, old man, I just kept this secret, and I was all revealed by the kid you don't know where it came from. Wait a minute, the old man has to make you a human being! An old voice came from the woods, and everyone looked at them in astonishment, only to see an old man walking out slowly with his hands behind his back.
There was no need for Mo Qianli to order, everyone held their weapons and looked at this old man vigilantly. Those who can come out of the forest at this time, even if they are alive, will not be good people.
"What people! Get your name in! Mo Qianli resisted the urge to slash him with a knife, and decided to ask first.
When the little old man heard Mo Qianli's inquiry, he showed an impatient look: "Still ask!" Also asked! You are a general of the imperial court, can you know a country folk like me? I just reported my name, so you haven't heard of it! So, my name is Bai Se, have you heard of it? ”
Mo Qianli was a little speechless, he really hadn't heard of anything Baise, and he didn't know what his identity was.
"What are you doing here?" Mo Qianli's big knife in his hand was clenched tightly, this old man was definitely not a country man, how could a country man not be afraid when he saw such a battle of soldiers and horses? However, when encountering such a slippery head, you must not take it lightly.
Bai Sai shook his head and sighed, and simply sat down on the ground: "The child has no mother, it's a long story... There was a big man who asked me to do something, and I did it, but he forgot about me, and I had no choice but to wait for him here..."
"What a mess! Who the hell are you? Mo Qianli was furious, this person was clearly playing tricks on himself.
Bai Sai smiled sadly: "Fu Yin Division, Bai Sai." ”
Mo Qianli was stunned when he heard this, Fu Yin Si naturally heard that when Zhou Ziru was quelling the rebellion against Chu Xiang, he was killed by most of the Chu Xiang army, and he was robbed again in the middle of the night. That time, I heard that it was the Fuyin Division that robbed the camp, and the losses were quite heavy, and the five battalions of soldiers and horses were one battalion less!
"The Chu Xiang Ge clan has rebelled and has been ambushed, you still dare to make trouble!" Mo Qianli asked with a glare.
"Heh..."Bai Sai chuckled disdainfully: "The children of the Ge family have a long love affair, and the heroes are short of breath, and for the sake of a woman, they buried their ancestors' inheritance. I saw that it was difficult for him to achieve great things, but unfortunately, the director didn't listen to me... No, I came to follow King Xigui, this is a person who does great things! Eloquence! ”
Mo Qianli looked at Bai Sai, who was talking eloquently, and sneered: "Hahahaha, King Xigui is the one who does great things?" Not necessarily, right? Now don't you fall for our plan? ”
Bai Sai's heart moved, but he still rolled his eyes: "Brag!" ”
Mo Qianli waved his finger to the rear: "This road is the same as to Yucheng, where there are three dangers on the road, Zhou Xiang ordered me to set up an ambush in the third place and wait, and as soon as the king of the West passed, he ordered to throw down the boulder and seal the retreat." It is difficult for the king of Xigui to return to Xigui, and at this time it is not like catching a turtle in an urn? That's what you said, the king of the West is eloquent? Hahahaha..."
When Bai Sai heard this, he was surprised: "What! King Xigui... The retreat is sealed! ”
"Can this be fake? Give you a rope, tie yourself up, and I'll send someone to show you!" Mo Qianli saw Bai Sai's surprised appearance, and felt a little proud in his heart. This credit for pacifying Xigui can't be avoided from his part.
Bai Sai clenched his fists, and he was so angry that his muscles flared up. Zou Wu, the third son of King Xigui, once brought people into Beijing and wanted to assassinate the emperor. At that time, they were taken away together, as well as Liang Xinluo and Shi Nuo, and I heard that there was also a big disturbance in the capital, but after all, it still failed, and none of the people who went to the capital came back.
If the court investigates it, sooner or later it will be traced to its own head. It's okay if the king of the West wins, the rivers and lakes are so big, there is always a place for himself. Once the king of Kexi is defeated and the court tracks him down, where can he flee to?
"I participated in the rebellion of King Chu Xiang before, and now I follow the rebellion of King Xigui. You Fuyin Division is really dead, wait..."Mo Qianli's words were not finished, and he was stuck in his throat.
Around at some point, the group of corpses had surrounded them in the middle, and many of the corpses of the Yulin Army opened and closed their mouths, and called out inarticulately: "Mo... General..."
