Chapter 274: Night Tour Gong
"Shine Night City was indeed devoured by demons, but I heard that one day, the yellow sand from the north attacked, devouring the heavens and the earth, and also swallowing Shine Night City. I don't know what demons are in the yellow sand, after the yellow sand, all the remaining guards in the city have all turned into white bones, and then the night city has become a demon city, gathering countless demons, we and the people of Saibei dare not enter the city of the night within a hundred miles. The ranger surnamed Feng said, the firelight reflected his expression, both a little scared, but also a little calm, "The demon who occupies the city of Zhaoye is called the king of Huangsha by our northern military and the Han, but the news reaches the capital, and I don't know whether the nobles in the court believe it or not, and the people mostly listen to it as myths." ”
"The ...... of the Sands"
"Since a few years ago, the beacon tower closest to the city of Zhaoye has reported that there are often thunderbolts in the city of Zhaoye, and at its peak, there are thunders everywhere in a radius of 100 miles, and even priests can be seen in the sky. I also heard that some people have seen the lower realm of immortals with golden armor, so I don't know if it's true or not, in short, about the summer before last, we re-entered the city of Zhaoye. ”
"The summer before last......"
It was the summer of the fourth year of Mingde.
At that time, he and Sanhua Niangniang were in Changjing.
"Yes." The ranger surnamed Feng said, "At first, we were still very nervous, but then we quickly thought about it, and being eaten by demons and being killed by the Saibei people is actually no different. And after a long time, there is nothing special about this night city, and the demon is afraid that it has been taken away by the heavens a long time ago, and at most occasionally I will encounter some little demons and ghosts......"
Saying this, the ranger surnamed Feng smiled.
"Oh, there are demons and ghosts in troubled times, we are different from people in the north and people in the south, we have seen a lot, especially after joining the army, the little demons and ghosts have seen too much, many of them have no ability, and the folk masters can rely on the skills passed down to get rid of them, we martial artists, as long as we are bold, we can also kill it with knives, guns, bows and arrows in our hands, the first time I was a little afraid, and I got used to it if I came twice."
When everyone around them heard this, they also smiled.
The heroism of the heroes in the northern army is all in this knowing smile.
"You're all heroes."
"It's just a martial artist."
When the words landed, there was some movement behind him.
Through the light of the fire and the stars, a figure could be faintly seen shaking in the night.
It seems to be snooping on this side.
Several of the rangers were alert, and suddenly turned their heads to look over there, and one of them casually drew a piece of wood from the fire and gently threw it in that direction.
"Hoo ......"
The firewood streaked through the air, and the flames were suppressed by the wind for a moment, and then many sparks bloomed when they hit the ground, and then the flames burst into flames.
The figure quickly slid to the side.
But just now, the firelight also reflected its figure.
It is an evil creature in the form of a human.
Song You has seen some similar ones along the way.
The legend of this evil creature spreads in the grassland near here, saying that it will peep through the cracks in the doors and windows in the middle of the night, and make noise outside, trick people into opening the door, and once the door is opened, it will enter and eat all the people in the house alive. There are also those who say that it will break the door, or those who are timid and afraid of sound, I don't know if it is a false rumor, or whether different individuals have different personalities.
Song You didn't know what it was called, but he knew that it was probably after a person's death, the evil qi and blood condensed and lasted for a long time.
It can be inferred from this that most of them were formed by battlefield warriors.
The world is vast, often under different conditions, containing all kinds of strange evil things, Fulongguan can only walk the world from generation to generation to see, and then record new ones.
You can write down more, not all.
"Night Tour......
The ranger surnamed Feng reported its name.
"Don't worry, sir."
The other ranger also spoke, grinning at Song You, revealing a mouthful of neat yellow teeth in the firelight, and then untied the spear on his horse, carried it on his shoulder with his left hand, and picked up a bow and crossbow in his right hand.
The rest of the people were similar to him, and a few others drew firewood from the fire.
Everyone looked at each other and scattered in the night sky.
A few handfuls of flames moved sporadically.
There is an occasional black shadow flickering in the middle.
"Canopy ......"
A very slight bowstring sound, and it sounded several times in succession.
"Roaring ......"
"This way!"
"Ahh
"Poof!"
"Hoo ......"
Then I heard the shouts of the rangers, the clash of spears and flesh, the movement of people rolling on the ground, the screams of evil creatures, the distant torches that were sometimes darkened and extinguished, and sometimes burst out of sparks, most of the time only a few rangers were reflected, and only a few times could I see the evil thing with the rotten cloth on its body.
It didn't take long for a few people to return, bringing with them a half-rotten, fishy head.
"Keep me waiting."
The ranger surnamed Feng lobbied to Song.
Behind him, someone was carrying the head and hanging it on his horse.
"It doesn't matter."
Song You was also very calm.
"Since the war more than ten years ago, there have been more and more demons and ghosts on this grassland, this kind of we call it Night Yougong, generally running around at night, like a wandering spirit, lying down during the day, I don't know and think it's just an ordinary corpse." The ranger surnamed Feng said, "So when we patrol during the day, if we encounter a corpse, we usually have to cut off the head, and if we cut off the head, it will be good to take it back and use it as a military merit." ”
"Night Tour." Song You repeated, "It's appropriate." ”
"It's all the names of people who have read books in the army."
"On the next journey, I also met this kind of ghost, but I know that it doesn't know the pain, but I don't know what else is special?" Song You asked curiously.
"There's nothing special about it." The ranger surnamed Feng said, "Mr. said that the pain is the same, and the other thing is not to be caught and bitten by it, otherwise you will soon die of a high fever, and there is not much difference from a living martial artist, oh, the strength is a little greater, not skilled in martial arts, ordinary a few grassland men, as long as they are bold enough and not afraid, they can also restrain it." ”
"I see."
Song You had already made a note in his heart.
When you're ready to pick a moment, write it down.
"In addition, there is a pink-faced lady in this grassland, who often pretends to be a woman and harms people where there are people. We don't see much here, but if you go a little south or east, you can see it. After killing it, the facial features on its face will disappear, and it will become pink and full of hair, similar to that of a newborn piglet. The ranger surnamed Feng seemed to see that he was interested in these, so he said casually, "In addition, what we see a lot here is a kind of horse thief who is not as tall as half a person, and likes to steal horses the most, no matter how good the military horse is, when it touches it, it immediately softens down, and it lies on the horse's neck, quietly drinks all the horse's blood, and there is no movement in the whole process, and then runs away, which is unguardable." ”
The three-flowered cat was very nervous when she heard it, and she couldn't help but stretch her neck and look at the jujube red horse lying next to her.
The ranger surnamed Feng didn't pay attention to the cat's movements, smiled and said: "But this thing is afraid of geese, as long as you put a goose next to it, it often doesn't dare to come." ”
"It's amazing."
Song You said so, and then asked: "I passed by the grassland before Xia, and I also heard that the people of Saibei went south this time because of the help of demons, but as far as I know, the demons have not participated in the competition between countries for many years, even if in the last years of the previous dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the demons were everywhere, but it was just a chaos, and it didn't help any party, I don't know why this time?" ”
"I don't know about this little one." The ranger surnamed Feng said, "Maybe the adults in the army will know." ”
"I've heard that ......," said another big man with a beard and a spear next to the ranger surnamed Feng, lowering his voice, "These demons seem to have escaped from the original Illuminate Night City. ”
"Illumination of the Night City?"
"I've only heard about it." The bearded man said, "I'm not sure." ”
"That's right."
"Sir, are you going to take a trip to the City of Lights to resupply?" The ranger surnamed Feng asked, "If you go to Zhaoye City and ask my general, you may know." ”
"Originally, I was going to go to Zhaoye City for a visit, but since I heard from a few people that General Chen was so eager to invite me to Yuanzhi City, then let's go to Yuanzhi City first. I'm already walking slowly, and if I go to the city again, I'm afraid we'll be delayed. Song You smiled and said to them, "If you have time later, turn back and look at this famous city of Zhaoye." ”
"Mr. Benyi."
"I don't know if you've ever heard of Liaoxinguan?" Song You happened to ask them about Liaoxinguan.
"Naturally, I did."
"The guard of Liaoxinguan is surnamed Ban?"
"General Ban, ......"
Everyone immediately looked at each other.
"What's wrong?"
Song You asked them at the firelight.
"It's nothing, General Ban is also a rare fierce general, otherwise with the position of Liaoxinguan, it will not be handed over to him to guard, but Liaoxinguan has been lost some time ago, and I heard that General Ban was also killed."
"Speaking of the general, the Ben also has something to do with our spear gate......
"Sir, know General Ban?"
Everyone, you and I are talking word by word.
"On the way, I met a friend, and the eldest son of the friend was originally stationed at Liaoxin Pass and was under the command of General Ban." Song You's tone was calm, "When I met you, I seemed to be well-informed, so I asked casually." ”
"That's probably gone......"
"I heard that Liaoxinguan is also an important position, and the Saibei people have not been beaten down for a long time this time. It is said that General Ban also has a fine cavalry under his hand, which is very brave, and it is precisely because of them that even if a small group of people go south to attack and disturb the grain road, they have failed many times, and they dare not make a detour. Previously, General Ban had also cooperated with the ranger general Li Haoran to annihilate the elite of the Left Wolf King. It's a pity that three months ago, it seems that there were demons in the Saibei people who mixed into the city and brought the epidemic to it, and I heard that the defenders in the city were infected with the epidemic seven or eight out of ten, and it was broken without a fight, but fortunately, General Li reacted in time, so it did not cause greater consequences. ”
"But by the time General Chen recovers Liaoxin City again, it will already be an empty city."
"I also heard that the Saibei people planted all the corpses outside the city, and I don't know if they were eaten by something, but those in the army who are used to killing people and killing people don't dare to look at it when they see it."
"Sir, most of the eldest son of that friend is gone......"
"I heard that the epidemic was brought from Hezhou by the people of Saibei who don't know how to use it, and Hezhou is not making a plague now!"
"I haven't heard of any living in the city's defenders."
Everyone still answered me word by word.
Although the Taoist had expected it for a long time, after it was confirmed, he inevitably felt regretful.
Then he continued to light the fire, took out the beef jerky and dried milk to share with them, and chatted with them for a while about the war situation in the north, the confrontation and competition between each other, and then fell asleep against the starry sky.
