Chapter 914: The Land of Death Plague
Chapter 914: The Land of Death and Plague
It was not those dead riders who rushed to the forefront, but the elite dead cavalry guards, still silent attacks, but in the face of the incomparably terrifying dead air, this silence gave people more pressure.
"Bow and crossbow volley, bed crossbow for me to aim at the enemy general!" "It is common sense to capture the king first and shoot the man first to shoot the horse, and Ran Min is undoubtedly the most distinctive one in this army, and naturally Ran Min must be the head of this army and horses, and it is normal to focus on it.
With a buzz, the beast tendon bowstring of the bed crossbow let out a crisp chirp, and several crossbow arrows like small spears slashed through a cold light and shot towards Ran Min.
However, before the crossbow arrow could be shot, he saw the body of the blood-dropping soul devouring beast under Ran Min's crotch twist for a while, and from the shoulder blades, two hard bone shields stopped directly in front of Ran Min.
When, the strong force of the crossbow bolt slammed into the bone shield, but it only left a white mark on the bone shield, and it was bounced out, and the blood drop soul devouring beast only paused for a moment, and did not take the slightest damage.
"Roar!" However, this moment still made the Blood Soul Eater Beast a little angry, and with a roar, the mounts under the crotch of the surrounding dead riders suddenly became a little faster, like a black whirlwind rushing straight to the entrance of Asan Town.
Boom, boom, from the town, suddenly shot out several waves of dense arrow rain, although the scale is not large, but the number is no less than two or three hundred, but these bows and arrows into the cavalry charging on the opposite side, but not even a little blood out, let alone let the cavalry's charging formation have the slightest delay.
After all, Asan Town is just a town, not a big city, with a perfect defense system, and the distance is quickly approaching, and Asan's guard commander Zhang Jiang is also fully armed, holding a thick-backed big ring knife that is four feet long, dragging it in his hand, flashing a little cold light in the sun.
Although the guards in Asan Town are reserve soldiers, it does not mean that these soldiers have no combat power, there are many elite soldiers who have retired from the front line in this reserve army, these people constitute the main structure of the reserve army, and the rest of the people are mostly young and strong people who have undergone perennial training, after all, Datang is not a poor soldier, so there are still quite a number of young and middle-aged people engaged in farming and production activities.
At this moment, these long-trained young men who did not have the opportunity to join the army ushered in their first battle, the armor they held in their hands was captured from the empire, and after satisfying the first-line soldiers and horses, some damaged and broken weapons were sent to the rear, and after being rebuilt, they became their weapons.
Headed by Zhang Jiang, it was a Zhenkou defense line composed of two hundred people, seven rows in front and back, a row of thirty people, each wearing heavy armor, dragging a thick-backed big knife in his hand, at this moment these knives all fell to the ground, people were all wrong, bowed, and seemed to be accumulating.
Ran Min's dead cavalry guards quickly rushed to the front of the defense line at the entrance of the town, which was composed of several large horse rejection formations, which could effectively delay the cavalry charge, and the bamboo thorns that were inserted at an angle of forty-five degrees could penetrate the human body at once.
Seeing that the dead knight guard was about to collide, the dark beast under his crotch opened its hideous mouth, and a ball of black mist sprayed out directly, and as soon as the horse touched the ball of black mist, it was covered by the black mist.
The dead cavalry guard rushed over directly, and the rejection horse completely became an ornament, and only part of the remnants of the wood were corroded, which could not play an obstructive role at all, and at a distance of more than ten meters, the dead cavalry guard collided with Zhang Jiang's heavy armor knife formation in an instant.
Death, Zhang Jiang dragged the knife in his hand at the moment when the dead cavalry rushed up, and the tip of the knife slashed a spark on the bluestone surface, flashing with a cold cold glow.
Click, the sound of bones breaking came from the chest and neck of the dark beast, and the sharp blade slashed directly into the body of the dark beast, and the black blood stained the knife, and suddenly made a corrosive sound of Zrazra, falling to the ground, and a small pit suddenly appeared.
This kind of damage is not light, but it is not felt at all for the dark beast, because they themselves are corpses, poof, the blade horn on the top of the dark beast's head suddenly stabbed out, obliquely out of Zhang Jiang's neck, Zhang Jiang did not expect that the blade horn of this dark beast could actually stretch and stab.
The darkness of death enveloped him, and after completely closing his eyes, Zhang Jiang saw the torn defense line around him, everything was over, maybe he should choose to give up here.
But it was too late, although the two hundred heavy armored sword formations blocking the town brought some damage to the dead cavalry guards, they were still killed, and in the face of the arrows shot from all around, the dead cavalry guards directly chose to ignore them, and the constantly wielding bone knives ruthlessly killed those soldiers who were still resisting, and even their souls could not be reincarnated, and were sucked in by the hell ghost king armor.
The blood gradually stained Asan Town, and the shouts of killing gradually fell silent, except for a few dogs barking, there was no sound in the entire Asan Town, and the slaughter was empty, including the people in the town.
On a hillside outside the town, Ran Min looked at the town in front of him indifferently, and the last group of people who wanted to rush out of the town also fell under the knife of the dead guard, and Ran Min glanced at the large field outside the town, and the rice that was already yellowing was about to enter the harvest.
The dead in Asan Town have been abandoned in these fields, their bodies being slashed by the dead guards, and their wounds have quickly decayed, and if they are not buried urgently, these rotting corpses will emit a large amount of dark and dead air, affecting the vitality of the surrounding area.
After doing all this, the team has grown a lot stronger, and the dead cavalry set off again, running towards the next goal.
The weather in October was dry and hot, and this was simply the best breeding ground for the plague of death, and where the dead horsemen passed by a few days ago, the rice in the fields had died and fallen in large areas, and the rice grains were even more affected by the death gas, turning white and black, and no longer edible.
Fields of fertile land were turned into barren wilderness, the breath of life was lost, and the ravens devouring the dead flesh were spreading the plague farther afield, a man-made plague at a rate that no one had expected.
In a blink of an eye, October has passed, Ran Min's dead cavalry guards crisscross the southeast of Zhongzhou, except for a few big cities and towns that have not been broken by him, other villages and towns, but wherever he passes, are desolate, and even on the tenth day of entering Zhongzhou, Ran Min has begun to frequently collide with the Tang army and Hu cavalry who are encircling and killing in all directions.
The number of dead cavalry under Ran Min's command has reached five thousand, this number is already the limit number, and each dead cavalry guard has four dead cavalry squires, but because of the expansion of soldiers and horses, Ran Min can no longer think about going around in circles like before.
And the Tang army finally came out with an elite Zhichong Mansion, gathered thousands of soldiers and horses from the surrounding area, plus 3,000 Hu cavalry, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and blocked Ran Min's dead cavalry army in Nanxia Town.
Without speculating for more than half a sentence, this Zhichong Zhonglang of Zhichong Mansion waved the war knife in his hand with a gloomy and cold face, and the most elite thousand wind leopard riders in Zhichong Mansion suddenly launched a storm-like attack.
The dead cavalry army was still as immobile as a mountain, and there was no emotion in the face of the enemy troops who were several times their own around them, Ran Min looked at the elite beast cavalry that was as fast as the wind and swept wildly, but he sneered with disdain.
In the front arrow formation, the five thousand horsemen moved in unison, and Ran Min, who was in the formation, ran up, and the arrows composed of dead cavalry guards went straight towards the-for-tat collision of the wind leopard riders who pounced.
"Wall of the Storm!" Captain Tang Jun, who commanded the wind leopard to ride, gave a loud order, and thousands of wind leopards in the running body surged with a blue light, and the surrounding air was suddenly swept by this blue light, turning into a stream of air like a huge wave.
The air was squeezed and pulled in the countless turbulence, and the wind formed naturally, and soon, the Dead Rider rushed into this wind turbulence, and the furious Wind Chaos Blade was like a ubiquitous knife striking the Death Rider.
Under such a dense attack, the Hell Ghost King Armor also made a crisp sound, and those dead riders did not have the best spirit armor protection like the Hell Ghost King Armor, and the leather armor on their bodies was quickly torn and shattered, and then the body, pieces of broken flesh were scattered on the ground.
Pieces of dead riders fell, unable to get up again, although they were endowed with the power of death, but without the support of the will of death, they were doomed to die, just this attack, at least half of the five thousand horsemen under Ran Min's command fell on the way to the charge.
However, the core force under Ran Min's command, the Death Cavalry Guards, survived this attack intact, although their bodies also suffered countless blows, and the mounts under their crotches were also scarred by the wind blade, but these scars healed quickly when they rushed out of the storm turbulence area.
Peng, the dead cavalry guard and the wind leopard cavalry collided fiercely, the two elite cavalry fought in this place, the wind leopard cavalry is worthy of being the elite beast cavalry of the main force of the Tang Army, the combat effectiveness can be described as strong, even the dead cavalry guards have many of them were shot down by the wind leopard cavalry, but these dead cavalry guards are not those cannon fodder dead cavalry attendants, even if they are seriously injured, they can get up again.
In the sky above the strangled battlefield, the flying blades of grass turned yellow, and then turned into pieces in the wind.
"Kill!" More than a dozen wind leopard cavalry found Ran Min hiding in the dead cavalry guards, and immediately broke through the barriers of several dead cavalry guards, and when they were close to the front, a wind blade was woven into a net and covered Ran Min.
Ran Min snorted coldly, brandished the long bone knife in his hand, and the rich death qi attached to the bone knife like a flame, slashing towards the dense wind blade.
Dangdang, Dangdang, the sound of intensive exchanges came from the long bone broadsword, but the dead air on the bones ignored those wind blades, and slashed the dozen or so horsemen who rushed up, and the dead air entered the body, and more than a dozen burly strong men were withering and aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the vitality was gone.
"This, how is this possible!" said a soldier in disbelief as he looked at his withered arm, and before his voice could weaken, he collapsed and fell to the ground.
