Chapter 62: The Corpse Army Siege the City

Tiger Prison Pass, the city wall is towering, about fifteen zhang high, compared with the city wall of Cangzhou City, it is not low or low.

Thick gates, sheltered.

The crescent moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling a dull yellow light.

Zhuge Dali was the commander of tonight's vigil, and he led hundreds of soldiers to guard the city wall, looking out over the vast plains outside the city.

It has been four years since he came to Tiger Prison with the army, and when he first came to Tiger Prison, he was very homesick, thinking about his wife, children, and elderly parents all the time.

He had been drafted and was accompanied by a dozen brothers from the same village.

However, as the war broke out, his brothers fell one after another on the brutal battlefield, buried forever in the loess, and turned into dry bones.

And now, he is the only one left, he has been promoted, and he is the assistant staff leader, middle and third.

But he was not happy, he had a long scar on his chest, which he had exchanged his life for.

He was not unhappy because of this, but because he fought desperately and did not die, while his dozen or so brothers in the same village died.

He was promoted, but his brothers paid the price of their lives to replace his current military position.

He hoped that the war would end sooner, but as he charged forward the other day, he knew that the war should end in such a short time, after all, both sides had already used those incredible forces.

It is said that the methods of immortals are mysterious and unpredictable, with the ability to destroy the world and the power to summon ghosts and gods.

But he hadn't seen these methods, but some time ago, the stealth spell used by the general opened his eyes.

However, what followed was that my heart began to waver, and I began to speculate about what had happened before.

And those speculations are all about the stealth means of the general.

Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, they all knew it.

That's a discussion about the general, although it is not the same as what it seems, but everyone thinks that since the general has these magical skills, why don't he use it early, obviously he has to wait until the enemy army enters the city and kills so many people before he starts to use it.

Although it is said that this is a tactic on the battlefield, it is not allowed to sacrifice so many people before it is used.

He doesn't know tactics, so in the past four years, he has worked hard to get into this official position, but he is not rare, no matter how big the official position is, he can't exchange the life of his dead brother.

But the general loves the army as much as his life, except for concealing this stealth method, Zhuge Dali can hardly find the slightest flaw in him, nor can he find the slightest reason to accuse him.

Not only him, but even the brothers who are dissatisfied in their hearts will not look for trouble and provoke trouble at critical moments.

However, today there was something that made him annoyed and unhappy, because the general ordered the burning of the corpses of his brothers on the mountain of Dongcheng.

The dead are great, and the earth is safe.

These eight words have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone, but at this moment, the burning of the bodies of the brothers who died in the war directly chilled people's hearts.

Although we are just asking for everyone's opinions now, everyone naturally is: they will not agree, but it is inevitable that the military order is like a mountain, and when it is time to burn, it will still be burned.

"Eh, if I really burned the bones of my brothers, I wouldn't be able to dismiss the official after the war." Zhuge Dali thought secretly in his heart.

"Counselor, the brothers' memories, should be passed on to the general."

"It's passed." Zhuge vigorously said: "The general is still asking for everyone's opinions, and he will not burn the bones of his brothers for a while." ”

"That's good." The big-headed soldier nodded, and said: "We don't ask for anything when we die on the battlefield, we just want to return to the roots, if this can't satisfy us, this soldier is not suitable." ”

"Be quiet." Zhuge vigorously glared at him and said: "When the national disaster is at hand, we can instinctively sacrifice our lives for the country and shed our blood to protect the old, weak, sick and pregnant in our small family. ”

"Lord Counselor, I understand this truth, if you don't have a small family, where will you come from?"

"It's good to understand." Zhuge patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said: "It's a big deal, after the war, we will retire from the army and return to our hometown, and from then on, we will raise some chickens and ducklings at home, and the family will get together and be happy." ”

"Very good." The big-headed soldier nodded in response.

"Co-Counselor, come over and take a look, is that a person?"

At this time, he rubbed his eyes in front of a soldier standing at the front, and pointed to Hirano in front of him.

"People? Who? In the middle of the night, the road can't be seen clearly, so the Song army will not ......"

Zhuge Dali's voice stopped abruptly, because in his eyes, a figure did appear, oh no, it seems to be two, three, no, no, it seems to be five, six, no, seven, eight? It's not right, huh, why are there more and more?

The people who counted with him all gasped, densely packed, and the entire plain was full of people, at least tens of thousands.

"He, why didn't they, light the torch? Didn't ride a horse either? Did they all come on foot? Zhuge vigorously frowned, looking at the strange picture on the plains outside the city gate.

What a weird picture is that? Maybe it's because it's still far away, but I just feel that they walk extremely strangely, unbalanced, and irregular.

Zhuge Dali felt strange, but he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly asked the people next to him to ring the gong and shouted loudly: "Prepare for war, prepare for war, gather quickly." ”

"Knock knock!"

The sound of gongs rang in the city, breaking through the quiet of the night, and reaching the streets and alleys, and at the same time, the lights of countless houses were lit up, and the sound of dressing was heard.

General Yue Long walked on the stone stairs of the city wall with a few guards, and shouted vigorously to Zhuge above: "What happened? Shouldn't an enemy attack be so quiet? ”

"General, please go up to the city wall."

Yue Long was suspicious, and when he and a few guards went up to the high wall, they all gasped when they looked up at the outside of the city.

Densely packed, there were about 10,000 Song troops approaching the city gate.

This time it was closer, and Zhuge Dali and the others saw that it was a group of soldiers with scattered heads, covered in blood, and their clothes in tatters.

"Then, isn't that the assistant leader of the big left scar I hacked to death?"

"Also, it's good that there is that captain of the army, didn't we work together to kill him?"

"Well, how can there be a few half-heads?"

"How did they come back to life?"

"None of them are human." Yue Long said in a deep voice, he was now worried about whether the mountain on the other side of the East City would also have a corpse mutiny.

"Not human?" Zhuge looked at Yue Long in puzzlement.

"Yes, it's not people, they're all dead corpses, in short, they've become zombies, and they're also folk rumors of walking corpses."

"The Walking Dead?" The soldiers gasped, no wonder these Song Guoshi didn't look like living people, they turned out to be walking corpses, and the rumors that this legend was true among the people.

"General, what do we do now?" Zhuge Dali and the others looked at Yue Long.

"They are afraid of fire." Yue Long said, "Prepare to put on fire oil, or something flammable, to trap them." ”

"General, we have all moved to the top of Dongcheng Mountain, do you want to..."Before the man finished speaking, his face was shocked: "On the other side of the mountain, will the corpse also become a walking corpse?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally encountered something tricky and strange.

"Yes." Yue Long said: "I didn't tell you before, because I didn't believe that the demon of the Song Kingdom could control so many corpses, and now it seems that he does have the ability." ”

"What now?"

"Yue Xin, you take people to prepare flammable materials, wood, tables, stools, quilts, all of which are flammables." Yue Long said, "We are going to build a wall of fire under the city to prevent them from entering. ”

"Yes."

A bearded officer and soldier behind Yue Long received the order, and hurriedly retreated from the city wall, leading people to collect flammable materials to make a fire.

He hadn't walked long before a large area of fire suddenly surged up on the top of the mountain in Dongcheng, illuminating half of Dongcheng.

"It's Dongcheng, and those corpses have also changed." Yue Long said in a deep voice: "What should happen is still happening." ”

Zhuge Dali and the others looked gloomy, they all bowed their heads slightly, and they were all embarrassed to look at Yue Long.

Yue Long had suggested that the bodies of those who died in battle should be burned before, but everyone disagreed, but now, he had started an internal trouble in his own array.

Yue Long saw their expressions and said: "I don't blame you, you can stop me from burning the corpses of my brothers, proving that you are all soldiers of Chu who are affectionate and righteous, flesh and bones, and iron, but we are definitely invincible at home and abroad, so all the corpses that have been transformed will be burned, so that this can stop this enemy's sneak attack." ”

"We will do exactly what the general says."

"What we're worried about now is not these walking corpses, but the sudden sneak attack by the Song army."

"What now?"

"I can only defend the city gate and wait for reinforcements to arrive." Yue Long said helplessly.

"General, the enemy army is still twenty feet away from us."

"Bring a bow and arrows."

"Yes."

Someone held a longbow, Yue Long took it in his hand, and shot towards a walking corpse in the middle.

"Peng!"

There was a loud sound of breaking through the air, and a sharp long arrow pierced into the head of the walking corpse, and the powerful stamina flew out with him, crashing into several people behind him, and then stopped retreating.

However, the walking corpse only burst out of black blood on its head, and did not die from the arrow piercing.

Although he had already prepared in his heart, Yue Long also felt that his scalp was numb, and ordinary swords could not hurt these walking corpses.

He suddenly thought of the walking corpses on the top of Dongcheng Mountain, his face changed greatly, he just asked them to set fire to trap the walking corpses before, without their own orders, they naturally did not dare to directly ignite the gunpowder and blow up all those corpses, but those layers of fire circles could not trap more than 10,000 walking corpses rushing down from the mountain.

"Vice General Lu, you take someone to guard the city gate, and I'll take someone to Dongcheng to have a look." After Yue Long finished speaking, he put down his bow and arrows, and hurried away with several personal soldiers.

Several people got on the horse, and after half a cup of tea, they arrived at the top of Dongcheng Mountain.

There was chaos at the foot of the mountain, and hundreds of walking corpses broke up the ring of fire and rushed into the crowd, roaring and roaring.

Less than a thousand people remained at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly the walking corpses broke up the ring of fire and broke into the crowd.

They had never seen such a strange situation, and the team was scattered and chaotic.
