Chapter 234: Strange Soldiers
And when Mu Xiaofeng and the others arrived around Luohai City, they found that Luohai City had planted Zhou Hesheng's banner, Mu Xiaofeng was a little surprised, in just a few months, Luohai City had fallen. So Mu Xiaofeng took out a few masks from the Space Infinity Belt and distributed them to the others, and they planned to enter Luohai City in disguise to find out the news.
Mu Xiaofeng, who was wearing a mask, came to the gate of Luohai City, and was immediately stopped by the soldiers, and the soldiers guarding the city asked Mu Xiaofeng what they were here for. Mu Xiaofeng had already prepared, he took out the herbs he had stored before from his belt, and explained that they were wandering merchants who sold herbs for a living, and they came to Luohai City this time to do business.
The soldiers didn't interrogate too much, just smiled and let Mu Xiaofeng and them into the city, Mu Xiaofeng didn't understand why the soldiers guarding the city were laughing at themselves at first, but after entering this dead Luohai City, they understood. There was not a single civilian in the city of Luohai except for the soldiers, and the usually lively bazaar became so quiet, where was the place where the merchants were willing to come.
"The princess can't be dead, right? And the people here won't all be slaughtered by Zhou Hesheng, right? Qiao Zi was a little worried at this time, she looked at the whole audience of Zhou Hesheng's soldiers, and the more she thought about it, the worse it became.
At this time, Jin Meimei put her arms around Qiao Zi's shoulders, and then comforted: "Don't worry, if Zhou Hesheng really did this kind of thing, there would not be a trace in this city, whether it was washing the blood or disposing of the corpse, it would not be able to be completed in a short time." ”
At this time, suddenly an elderly veteran staggered towards Mu Xiaofeng and them, and the veteran fainted in front of Mu Xiaofeng and them just as he was about to speak. Mu Xiaofeng hurriedly stepped forward to check on the veteran's condition, Qiao Zi used his vitality to check the veteran's physical condition, and found that the veteran was just too hungry.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaofeng hurriedly took out some food and water from his belt and put it in front of the veteran, and then called the veteran to get up and eat something. The veteran slowly opened his eyes and saw that the food in front of him was a little incredible. He took Mu Xiaofeng's food and quickly devoured it, and after a full meal, the veteran finally regained his senses.
Mu Xiaofeng and the others began to inquire about the condition of this veteran, and the veteran sighed at this time, and told Mu Xiaofeng everything about Zhou Linlin's abandonment of Luohai City and the burning of all Zhou Hesheng's military rations.
"That week ... Where is the king now? Mu Xiaofeng was almost about to reveal his identity and call Zhou Hesheng's name, but fortunately, he quickly changed his words.
The veteran slowed down, then slammed the ground with his fist and complained: "The king has already rushed back to the royal capital with his troops, and the king doesn't care about our life or death, and he doesn't know what we will do after this little food is eaten." ”
The veteran left after complaining, this Yun Jie had a plan in her heart after hearing this, she felt that now Luohai City's defenses were weak and the soldiers' morale was low, if they could find a way to get a batch of food, then Luohai City could be easily recovered. Although Yun Jie's idea is very good, where to get food has become a headache for them.
Just when they were at a loss, a person suddenly came out of the roadside, this person was dressed as a civilian, and then when he saw Mu Xiaofeng, he half-knelt down and saluted, "Young City Lord, City Lord Qu has asked me to wait in the city for a long time." It turned out that Qu Lingsha was worried that Mu Xiaofeng would return to Luohai City, so she arranged for a cronie to lurk in Luohai City, waiting for Mu Xiaofeng to appear.
At first, this cronie didn't dare to determine Mu Xiaofeng's identity from the voice, but the Ring of Dawn in Mu Xiaofeng's hand revealed his identity.
After explaining the intention of the cronies, they told Mu Xiaofeng all about Qu Lingsha taking the commoners, erudite scholars and priests to the sea, and Mu Xiaofeng thought a little after hearing it. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, Luohai City still has half of the grain in Qu Lingsha, that is enough to feed the whole city plus more than 10,000 people for half a month, as long as Qu Lingsha returns to Luohai City, these soldiers will definitely surrender.
But Qu Lingsha took all the ships with her, and now it is not easy to go to sea to find Qu Lingsha. Just as Mu Xiaofeng was meditating, Amy suddenly patted Mu Xiaofeng's shoulder and reminded, "Brother Mu Xiaofeng! Don't you have an iron box that can be turned into a spaceship? ”
Mu Xiaofeng only remembered at this time that the family service iron man was eight hundred, but Mu Xiaofeng was not very proficient in manipulating the iron box into a spaceship, and his vitality was not enough for him to support so many people on the spaceship, so Mu Xiaofeng decided to go to sea alone to find Qu Lingsha's fleet.
So Mu Xiaofeng found a corner where there was no one and turned the small iron box into a spaceship, and then drove the spaceship out to sea alone. At this time, Qu Lingsha's fleet did not go far, and she had not yet determined what Zhou Linlin's battle situation was, so she planned to stay at sea for a while, and this Mu Xiaofeng would soon be able to catch up with Qu Lingsha.
On Zhou Linlin's side, she was not in a hurry to attack, but stationed at the pass for a day to rest, and the chances of winning in a hurry to attack Wang Du were really small. However, this made Xi Ruhai a little anxious, and he watched Zhou Linlin's troops fall into a dilemma, so he suggested turning to garrison Baiyu City.
But Zhou Linlin naturally wouldn't agree, this pass was the best place to snipe Zhou Hesheng's troops. But Zhou Linlin looked confident, as if these were already in her plan.
By this time, the sun had risen to its highest, and the heat made everyone take refuge in the shade of the trees. And Zhou Linlin looked at the sky, then looked at the place of the royal capital from afar, looked at the calm Wang Du and shook his head, and whispered to himself: "Haven't you come yet?" "I don't know what Zhou Linlin is waiting for at this time, but Zhou Hesheng's troops are getting closer and closer to the royal capital.
The day passed quickly, the night enveloped the entire Junguo, and Zhou Linlin was ready to rest under a tree. They don't have any food left. The supplies brought by White Feather City were completely insufficient, and the soldiers even went into the mountains to hunt to satisfy their hunger, but tomorrow they will have no supplies at all.
Seeing that Zhou Linlin looked hopeless, a soldier packed his things and prepared to escape. But this warrior suddenly saw the royal capital in the distance blazing, and it seemed that someone was attacking the royal capital. The soldier hurriedly put down his salute and ran to Zhou Linlin to report the incident.
Zhou Linlin was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, and she reorganized her troops and prepared to attack the royal capital. It turned out that as early as a month ago, Zhou Linlin sent Zhang Wenyu and Qin Baoyi to contact Zhang Fan in the Underground Robbery City, and agreed to attack the royal capital together in a month. And Tianji City didn't care who ruled Junguo at all, and Qingzhu City didn't have any troops, so it was powerless to stop Zhang Fan's troops from advancing.
At this time, Xichen, who was in the royal capital, was a little panicked, he didn't expect Zhang Fan to defect so quickly, and this time was synchronized with the time of Zhou Linlin's attack, it seemed that the two of them had already colluded. Zhang Fan's power was originally introduced by himself, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Fan still betrayed himself.
Although the number of troops led by Zhang Fan is not large, only 4,000 people, but the troops he leads are also elites who have experienced a hundred battles, and the strength of these people is no worse than the troops of the Acropolis, plus Zhou Linlin's more than 8,000 people, it seems that they will not be able to support it for long in the evening.
Xi Chen was a little apprehensive when he saw such a fierce attack, he ordered someone to bring a bucket of potions, and then ordered all the soldiers of the Acropolis to take the potions in this bucket. This potion was naturally the madness potion developed by Xi Chen, and he knew that if he wanted to keep Wang Du now, he could only rely on this madness potion.
But the soldiers of the Acropolis were not willing to drink this madness potion, after all, Xichen was only ordered to guard the Acropolis, and these elites were not Xichen's cronies, so naturally they would not drink the inexplicable potion in front of them.
Faced with these soldiers who refused to take the potion of madness, Xichen was a little overwhelmed. But Qiao Tong smiled slightly, then walked to Xi Chen's side and patted him on the shoulder, signaling for Xi Chen to step back.
At this time, Qiao Tong faced these soldiers who refused to obey the order and said, "Everyone, do you still know me Qiao Tong?" ”
One of the soldiers nodded, knelt down towards Qiao Tong, and replied, "Master Qiao Tong's medical skills are among the best in Junguo, and many of us have been treated by Lord Qiao Tong, but we really can't drink this potion of unknown origin, who knows what will become of it." ”
"Since you all refuse to take the Berserk Potion, then don't blame me for being rude." Qiao Tong, who was full of kindness, suddenly changed his fierce face, only to see that he opened the eight yuan solutions on his body, and then the staff in his hand bloomed with red light, enveloping these soldiers of the Acropolis.
The soldiers' eyes turned blood-red and their eyes hollowed. As soon as Qiao Tong gave the order, these soldiers obediently lined up and began to drink all the madness potions.
Xi Chen was a little surprised to see this scene, he felt that this scene was extremely familiar, and he didn't know where he had seen it. Watching these soldiers obediently take the madness potion one by one, Xi Chen suddenly remembered that this scene was not when there was a civil war in the beast kingdom, and the slaves of the human race were about to give up attacking the cowmen, but suddenly they were controlled and began to attack frantically. Could it be that this kind of Yuan Qi technique that manipulates other people's minds is related to Qiao Tong? But what made Xichen even more puzzled was that Qiao Tong was not in the beast kingdom at that time.
At this time, all the soldiers of the Acropolis took the berserk potion, and their bodies began to change, and their bodies swelled to the size of orcs. And there were not many people in Zhang Fan's troops who could master the talent of madness, so their originally smooth siege battle became arduous, but it was only about a day before Zhou Hesheng's army returned to the royal capital. If Zhou Linlin can't take the royal capital, they will face a larger number of enemies.
