The clouds in the east faded to golden red, and the sun rose.

The darkness on the earth seemed to be completely dispelled in an instant, and the clouds were full of clouds and mountains.

In the dusk of the canyon, countless messy footprints were left, and a large number of people, under the guidance of the soldiers, surged away from here like a tide, fleeing to other cities.

Among the cities of Chang'an, the three cities closest to the northwest fell on the same day, and the soldiers defending the cities had already been wiped out, but the number of civilians was far greater than the soldiers.

When they fled, for some unknown reason, fires broke out in the three cities, delaying the pace of those living corpses.

Now, the soldiers and horses that led these people to evacuate came from nearby cities.

"Of the three cities, only these people escaped?"

Above the canyon, Zhang Anshou, who was over forty years old, was wearing yellow-brown leather armor and no helmet, his turban was blown to the side by the strong wind, and his eyes were deep looking at the people passing through the canyon below.

As the commander of the cavalry sent out to support this time, Zhang Anshou did not stay with those ordinary soldiers.

Even though the people had withdrawn, he was still standing on top of the canyon.

A moment later, behind the canyon, a large amount of smoke and dust was raised.

But this time, it was not the people who ran for their lives, but the army of living corpses who were all blue and black, with only some tattered strips of cloth on their bodies.

Looking at their outfits, they may have been ordinary villagers in the world in the past.

The unexplained catastrophe has caused their souls to die long ago, and their bodies to become a nightmare for the rest of the living.

The living people live in the city, and the living corpses lie dormant in the wilderness, and this pattern has been stable for some years, but now someone has found a way to drive the nightmare, so that the shadow of the sky will once again hang over the people of the cities.

Zhang Anshou didn't say a word, staring at the army of living corpses that seemed to have no end in sight.

Watching them roar and run like wild beasts, as they broke through the wide wilderness into the relatively narrow canyon, they didn't even mean to slow down at all, so that they became so crowded that I don't know how many living corpses fell and were trampled by the following figures.

This long canyon was quickly filled with more than half of the road, and it is conceivable that in less than ten breaths, they would rush to the other end of the canyon.

"Rest in peace!"

At this time, Zhang Anshou finally made a move, dragged the burden behind him into his hand, let out a long shout, and threw it towards the opposite cliff.

The entire canyon was aroused by his shouting, and the baggage cloth was thrown off by him, completely shaken open, and dozens of black iron balls inside burst out.

These iron balls, also known as fire pills, are filled with gunpowder, but ordinary people cannot detonate them even if they try to smash them with a sledgehammer.

Zhang Anshou's exhalation and sound of this throw made each iron ball accelerate to the extent that it could smash several inches of mountain rock, so that when these iron balls hit the opposite cliff, they immediately burst into sparks.

But it is not difficult to detonate the iron ball, and what is even more rare is that the landing point of each of his iron balls has been calculated.

An hour ago, he explored the structure of the canyon here, the texture of the rocks, climbed up the cliffs, stretched out his hands, dug dozens of large and small caves, and thousands of catties of gunpowder carried by the generals were placed in these caves in batches.

Now the iron ball is driven into the cave, and all the gunpowder is detonated!

Boom Boom!!!!

After the firelight erupted, a continuous loud noise filled the entire canyon, forming an echo that was far more terrifying than the shout just now.

The entire mountain cliff on the opposite side began to collapse, like a large waterfall of earthy yellow, falling down violently and falling into the canyon, I don't know how many boulders and mud, rolling down together.

The huge earthquake affected even the cliff under Zhang Anshou's feet.

But as early as when he threw the iron ball, he had already tried his best to escape as fast as he could.

Soon, even the cliff where he was standing appeared a large number of cracks, and many boulders collapsed.

The yellow smoke and dust rose to the sky.

It was like a huge yellow cloud covering a radius of miles, curling up in the air.

Thousands of pounds of gunpowder could not have caused such a big movement.

However, Zhang Anshou's practice of "Song of the Three Armies with the Same Qi" is a matching exercise with one of the twenty-four holy spirits, the "Spirit Rhino Ring", inherited from Su Dingfang, the Duke of Xingguo, who was known as "the life of destroying all countries, all of them are alive to capture their masters", and is the best at exploring geography and making good use of mountain terrain.

He cultivated this set of exercises to the realm of the gods, and buried it in the weakest place of the mountain's changes with gunpowder, and even the air waves and tremors after the explosion could be calculated, so that he could have such great power.

The terrible scene of the collapse of the canyon and the shaking of the earth may have destroyed the combat power of one or two hundred thousand living corpses.

Even if their vitality is extremely tenacious and their necks are constantly immortal, after their limbs are broken, it is difficult to climb out, and they can no longer be used as an army, buried in the earth and rocks, and will eventually perish completely.

The people who were fleeing were extremely hungry, but they were still frightened when they felt the loud noise behind them, and many of them looked back.

"That's intercepting the living corpse, don't look at it, keep running, keep running!!"

Thousands of cavalry were scattered among the crowd, many of them in their arms and on their backs, all lying on their stomachs, shouting with all their might.

Among the people, there were also some people with chariots, horses, donkeys and mules, although they were all overwhelmed, but at this time they still rushed forward, and the people around them were driven up.

The speed at which the crowd had just slowed down sped up a little.

The city ahead is already in sight.

That majestic city, built by the mountain, stretching on all sides are dangerous peaks and evil mountains, since ancient times it has been a place where soldiers must fight, all dynasties, I don't know how many times it has been expanded and reinforced.

At a glance, you can feel that the majestic shore that is impregnable is the best line of defense against living corpses.

The three gates to the west of the city had been opened, and the soldiers and horses in silver armor poured out first, through the crowd, facing the west, standing still.

Crowds of people passed by them and flocked to the city.

With such a number of people, it is not possible to enter the city in a moment.

When the people entered the city less than a tenth of the time, the disgraced Zhang Anshou rushed from afar.

It was only after getting closer to the silver-armored soldiers and horses that he stopped.

"General Dong, you're here too?"

Dong Ling'er is still a little childish, only slightly more than five feet tall, and the double-edged long-handled battle axe in his hand is nine feet long, and the size of the axe blade is like the wheel of a carriage.

At first glance, it looks like a rabbit nestled next to a stainless steel tree trunk.

"Uncle Zhang."

Dong Ling'er called, "Uncle Du has also arrived, and he is preparing on the city wall, you go in first, we will block here for a while." ”

Zhang Anshou glanced at the top of the city wall, wiped the dust on his face, and said, "I'll help too." ”

Although he looked embarrassed, as a master of the realm of spirits entering the body, the rush after blowing up the canyon just now was nothing, and staying behind could be regarded as adding a few more guarantees.

After all, these 3,000 silver-armored sword and axe men are the most elite troops that Chang'an Zhucheng has accumulated over the past decades, and it is best not to lose them here or today.

When the people entered the city for the most part, at the end of the field of vision, the endless figure of a living corpse really approached again.

If it was a living army, no matter which side of the world it was, after suffering so much loss in the canyon just now, it would be impossible to launch a pursuit so quickly.

But the army of living corpses cannot be said according to common sense.

After the canyon collapsed, the smoke and dust had not yet dispersed, and many stones had not yet stopped, and the subsequent living corpses had already climbed on those big rocks with their hands and feet, and climbed forward.

Looking at the way they rushed over now, we can see that their "morale" has not been affected in the slightest.

On the contrary, Zhang Anshou's face looked very dignified and depressed.

The forces of their Chang'an cities have also taken action to sweep away the living corpses nearby, but even if they send troops to move around, they will only attract living corpses within a mile or two.

The number of living corpses that each soldier needs to face in a certain period of time is actually not too much.

As in front of them, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of living corpses are surging over, and they have never experienced such a scene in their lives.

I'm afraid that only fifty years ago, during the period when I first encountered the corpse mutiny, the tragic situation in various parts of the world may be compared with the scene in front of me.

"Are you afraid?"

Dong Ling'er seemed to sense everyone's nervousness, and said slowly, "When I entered the barracks, when you were the leader, you guys were still very unconvinced, and now if you are afraid of this kind of battle, even if you have a new baby, I will come to the door to laugh." ”

Among the silver-armored soldiers, there was a faint laughter, which quickly disappeared, and he didn't answer the question of whether he was afraid or not, but they all took a step forward.

Dong Ling'er also raised the big axe in his hand, like a silver flag, setting up the sky as his own response.

When those living corpses were only twenty or thirty paces away, the big axe pressed forward.

"Kill !!"

The shouts of three thousand people in unison, for a moment, overshadowed the roar of the living corpses in front of them, and then countless severed heads flew in the flickering silver light.

Looking down from the air, it looks like a long silver dragon, standing outside the city, blocking the blue-black waves.

In this silver-armored army of soldiers and horses, everyone's cultivation is also at the level of refining the soul in the inner realm, and they have practiced the method of combining the formations on the battlefield since childhood, and they have coordinated with each other, and their endurance is amazing.

And the silver armor on their bodies, each of which requires ten craftsmen to make for more than half a year, is light and flexible, and is not afraid of crossbow arrows, and can vent the impact of fierce beasts on their own.

Their knives and axes are even more carefully crafted, and each one, not to mention sharpening iron like clay, at least any child can easily cut off a cow's bone in his hand.

Such a force, if placed on the battlefield fifty years ago, can be said to be invincible, even in the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, among the heavy cavalry, it can also be vertical and horizontal, advancing and retreating freely.

But now, in the face of this army of living corpses, their task is only to delay.

Covering the people into the city is one of them, and it is also a layer of intention to experience what it is like to fight against an army of living corpses, and to come back to teach experience.

When all the people entered the city, the city gate was closed, and hundreds of thick ropes hung down from the city walls, and the end of the ropes was more than a foot from the ground.

The silver-armored axe began to retreat in batches, and when he approached the wall, he leaped forward, grabbed the rope, took the rope in both hands, stepped on the wall, and galloped up.

Dong Ling'er, Zhang Anshou and the strongest group of people in the hands of the sword and axe were also the last to retreat, dozens of figures, directly relying on the momentum of rushing forward, stepping on the city wall and slipping up, without even needing ropes.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they got up the walls.

"After the living corpse is on the scale, it is really terrifying."

Dong Ling'er took off her helmet, her forehead was a little sweaty, "If it were an ordinary soldier or horse, I would be confident that I would be able to knock down three or four thousand people, but this kind of ghost thing, there is really no room for respite, and the whole body will pounce directly, if I can't carry it away, I'm afraid that if I kill less than two thousand, I will start to fall into danger." ”

Zhang Anshou was about to nod, when someone next to him suddenly shouted: "Look! ”

When everyone looked down, they saw many living corpses, climbing up the city wall.

The rope has been taken away, and ordinary living corpses don't know how to use ropes at all.

However, among the army of living corpses, there are many people who are more than twenty or thirty years old, and they can climb up by directly picking at the city wall with their own claws, and the speed is not slow.

The defenders on the city wall fired arrows downward, and the feather arrows struck, although they couldn't kill the living corpses, but the impact force could also make the living corpses cut off the wall tiles and fall down.

Zhang Anshou looked at the number of living corpses that were still coming outside the city, and couldn't help but say: "Didn't you say that King Wude also came, he should have brought something like that, right?" ”

"I did."

As soon as the words fell, it didn't make people feel that their skin was burning, but a strange heat in their hearts trembled from behind.

Zhang Anshou turned his head to look, only to see a man in a dark robe walking out of the city gate tower, with a jade crown and long hair, and a spear in his hand.

It is the self-proclaimed lord of Chang'an, Du Wentong.

"This king is just running the Great Red Heaven Treasure Book to inspire this thing."

The spear in Du Wentong's hand was pitch black, and it seemed to be chiseled with many holes, but the part of the spearhead was a whole blood-red crystal.

The red and brilliant light was emanating from the jade-like and crystal-like thing, causing everyone around to lose their minds for a while.

Zhang Anshou and Dong Ling'er were both staring at the jade very nervously, looking at that look, it seemed that they couldn't wait to throw it out of the way immediately.

Du Wentong was also quite cautious, and after taking his eyes off the blood red jade, he only glanced slightly at the place where the living corpses gathered most densely outside the city, and raised the spear in his hand high.

In an instant, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and the tendons on both sides of his forehead were as hideous as dragon horns, exuding a strong fist spirit like fire.

A vermilion nine-headed divine bird vaguely rose up and spread its wings above the city wall.

!!

With a sharp sound that soared into the sky, I saw a red-black light shoot out from the city wall.

The spear flew four miles away before it fell to the ground.

The incomparably dense crimson light burst out at the place where the spear fell, and the terrifying strong light instantly engulfed all the living corpses within a radius of a hundred zhang, forming a hemispherical red light cluster, which rotated extremely quickly.

In the next moment, this hemispherical light cluster burst open and turned into violent red light waves, sweeping in all directions.

Wherever the light wave passed, it did not produce any sound, but destroyed it.

The roars of all the living corpses came to a halt at this moment.

There was no explosion, the ground was not broken, and the bodies of the living corpses were not torn apart, but those nightmarish living corpses fell down like wheat that had long been broken.

In the wilderness outside the city, a place of extinction with a diameter of nearly five miles appeared.

The living corpses in this range have all turned into completely blue-black corpses.

The diameter is five miles, and the radius is more than two miles.

When Du Wentong threw that spear, he reserved a distance of more than four miles from the city wall, ensuring that those red light waves had already disappeared completely before they touched the city wall.

However, even so, the people who had just entered the city and some of the soldiers on the city wall who were relatively ordinary still felt that their brains were slightly dizzy for a while.

Although this spear did not wipe out all the living corpses that came from the siege today, the remaining living corpses that were affected, both in number and strength, were no longer enough.

On the mountain peak dozens of miles away, an old man with a broad shoulder and a golden crown on his head stood with his hands in his hands, looking to the east.

"Burning Heaven Treasure Jade, it's really as terrible as rumored!"

The old man's blood-colored pupils were as pure as jade, his blue-black skin was as smooth as steel, his hair was white, but he couldn't find even a wrinkle on his face, and he only chuckled when he let out words of admiration.

"Tell the order to go down, do not have a fixed and conspicuous camp, scatter in all directions, and wait for another wave of living corpses to accumulate an army of living corpses and continue to attack the city."

"The death of a living corpse will only be good for this king, but how many pieces can you have?"

………………

"Burning Sky Treasure Jade?"

Su Hanshan wondered, "What is that?" ”

Yang Baifa said: "It was a few years ago, Du Wentong's sister, Du Yuanzhen, created a secret method, which is said to be able to gather the power of all people and turn it into a treasure jade. ”

"The reason why their family dares to claim the title of King Wude and occupy the most prosperous places such as Chang'an is because in the past, they demonstrated the wonderful use of Baoyu in public, and once it was detonated, within a radius of five miles, all the living corpses, birds and beasts were scattered."

"If it weren't for the fact that they are too few today, and their population is not sufficient, with this strange thing, perhaps, they have reunified the world, called the emperor the emperor, and subdued all directions."

Yang Baifa sighed, "At the beginning, we were also worried about this for a while, but now it seems that this is also a good thing, at least because they have mastered the Burning Sky Treasure Jade, and after they have taken precautions, they will never be easily attacked by the army of living corpses." ”

Once detonated, the creatures within a radius of five miles will be scattered, is this a soul-destroying version of a tactical nuclear bomb?!

Su Hanshan sighed twice, thought about it, and said, "But there aren't many of them for this kind of thing, right?" ”

Yang Baifa frowned, and nodded: "The specific number of Burning Heaven Treasure Jade, although it has always been a top secret, it must not be much, and within the four seas, the number of living corpses is afraid that there can be millions." ”

"The key is, how many soul bells are there in the White Palace, from the northwest to Chang'an, how many living corpses can they carry, close to the surrounding areas of Chang'an Zhucheng?"

Su Hanshan pondered: "In this city lord's mansion, there should be a hundred soul bells, we can study them to see how we control the living corpses, and if we can find a way to counter them." ”
