Unlike the Rock Golems, the Oni have highly developed brains and have created civilizations that are not inferior to those of other races. Otherwise, they would not have been able to build a decent kingdom on their own. The reason why they didn't enjoy the same treatment as other races as the Immortal Emperor was because their clansmen were relatively small. After all, in a reckless land of ice and snow, survival is really a very difficult thing.

But because of this, they didn't get too much attention from the outside world at all, so when they had such terrifying combat power today, they really scared the high Immortal Emperor.

The 3,000 ghost men dared to drive the 30,000 Xianming army like rabbits, and in the battle that took place in front of them, it was not uncommon for them to kill ten times their enemies. If it weren't for the fact that it was separated by a large river, the Xianming army would have to retreat hundreds of miles and lose more land.

Standing on the high river bank, Yun Yejun's expression was slightly condensed, his eyes looked at the ghost camp opposite, and sighed softly: "I can't imagine that such a group of barbarians can have such terrible combat power, it's really unimaginable!"

Wearing animal skins, carrying drum sticks, walking and swaying, with a strange hum coming out of their mouths, they are simply a group of uncivilized primitive people. This kind of natives will not be taken to heart by anyone who sees it. But it was just such a group of primitive people who killed the elite-equipped, more organized and disciplined immortal army without the power to fight back. And it was defeat after defeat, it was simply a completely unequal crushing of strength, and because of this, Yun Yejun saw the scene in front of him and made such an exclamation. It can also be said that seeing is believing, after all, before he came, he repeatedly constructed the image of the ghost man in his mind, but when he saw the true face of the other party, he found that the gap between the imaginary things and the real things was really not ordinary.

"Your Highness, we don't have to stand so high, be careful of being plotted by the other party," Mo Yun reminded behind him.

Yun Yejun was stunned for a moment: "The width of this river is at least more than 100 zhang, can their arrows shoot so far?"

Mo Yun smiled: "Their arrows can't shoot, but their guns can." ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly saw a strong figure on the other side of the river swaying, as if trying to throw something here, and then, the sound of something breaking through the air came, buzzing.

Be careful!

There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, presumably people who had experienced the face-to-face battle of the Oni to know what the humming meant.

Click!

There was a sound in the air, and everyone was shocked, and they followed the sound, only to see a long strip of things that was cut off by something and fell from the air, but because the speed of this thing was too fast, even if it was blocked, one of the two broken stick-like things fell into the water, and the other made an irregular trajectory in the air, hitting the crowd.

Then I remembered the screams, someone was hit to the ground, and everyone was in a commotion, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw that the armor of a sergeant had been pierced by half of a spear, and it had passed through his left shoulder, and he looked shocking.

When the humming sound came, Ye Shubai had already pounced, hugged Yun Yejun off the embankment, blocked him behind him, and then slashed out a Yuan Qi knife with his right palm, cutting off the spear in midair. However, he still underestimated the speed of the spear, so there was an accident where half of the spear wounded someone.

Ye Shubai had experienced the assassination of the Su family's convoy by a crossbow spear shot by a thousand bull crossbow machine before, so he knew that to accelerate a spear to the extent of destructive power, how powerful the support of the equipment was needed, it was not at all a height that could be reached by manpower.

But the speed at which the spear was thrown by the ghost man today suddenly subverted his previous opinion, and it was conceivable that the group of barbaric primitives on the other side of the river was terrifying. It's no wonder that the Xianming army led by General Kou Huang will be beaten to pieces, if the ghosts are all such terrible monsters, who else in the world is their opponent?

Looking at the sergeant who was hurriedly carried away and screamed in pain, Yun Yejun was really a little afraid in his heart, this flying spear may not have been thrown at him, but it was cut off by Ye Shubai's palm, and it could still produce such a terrifying lethality, this is simply the same effect as the Thousand Niu Crossbow machine!

Yun Yejun's chest thumped wildly, and he asked Mo Yun next to him in surprise, "They can't all be such fierce pitchers, right?"

Mo Yun laughed and said, "Of course not, according to our people's detection, the ghost people who can throw this kind of lethal spear are called boulder pitchers, which means that they can throw boulders out without pressure." Among the Oni Clan, there may only be 500 Boulder Pitchers, but this number is only an estimate and cannot be made accurately. ”

Five hundred? Is five hundred still less?

Yun Yejun's eyes widened, and he sighed: "Five hundred people is equivalent to the enemy has five hundred moving Thousand Ox Crossbow Machines!"

Another general was transferred from other states and counties, and when he heard Mo Yun's words, he was a little unimpressed, and said: "General Mo, how did your people find out about this, were they stupid by the enemy, so they said that there are five hundred boulder pitchers?"

Mo Yun smiled: "No, no, no, our people are not stupid, on the contrary, they are all warriors, and they will never give in when facing the enemy." ”

Because his smile was a little weird, everyone around him looked at him slightly.

The general snorted and said disdainfully, "If it were really a warrior, he would not have fled." ”

Mo Yun laughed out loud: "Warriors also have long legs, so warriors must move forward bravely, and they must not retreat?"

The general sneered: "The warriors who fled in the wilderness are unheard of. ”

Mo Yun still laughed, but he didn't refute again.

Seeing some signs of infighting among his subordinates, Yun Yejun said angrily, "Okay, don't quarrel." ”

After patrolling around the front line, Yun Yejun not only failed to raise his morale, but held his breath, and when he returned to the camp tent of the Chinese army, he was quite sullen.

"Your Highness, the enemy is powerful, but we must have faith, but we can't let that flying spear defeat our confidence. Ye Shubai said softly.

Yun Yejun smiled slightly bitterly: "You know it's not a flying spear, you know. ”

Ye Shubai groaned: "Of course I know, but the situation on the enemy's side is like that right now. In the case that we don't have more resources to learn about the enemy, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the five hundred moving Thousand Ox Ballista. In short, it is still the strategy before we came, step by step, planning and then acting. ”

Yun Yejun said: "This is my first time on the battlefield, and I still don't know the bottom of my heart!"

"It's normal to have no bottom in your heart, and no one is a qualified general who is out of her mother's womb. A lot of things are honed. Your Highness, as a prince, you have received little tempering, so this expedition is a good opportunity. ”

"If I lose, it will be beautiful, and all the things I have worked so hard to save are gone. ”

"No, it won't be all gone. It is true that if he fails to win against the ghost people this time, it will be a blow to His Highness's prestige. But it has not yet reached the point of shaking the throne of His Royal Highness. In fact, Your Majesty should also understand this truth, besides, His Royal Highness is the eldest son and the undisputed heir to the first throne. It is the generals below who really fight, in fact, His Majesty also said in advance, for actual combat, His Royal Highness should not interfere too much. So rest assured, Your Highness. ”

You haven't experienced a power struggle in the court, so you won't understand the mystery and cruelty. Yes, I'm just an Overseer with more symbolic meaning than substance, but there is no such thing as right or wrong in this world. Everything is based on interests. And this interest is the face of the father. Because this expedition is on behalf of the heavens, that is, on behalf of my father. So my every move is to represent the face of my father and the dignity of the court, you can imagine, if I am defeated by the enemy, those ministers in the court who are towards King Jing, as well as my honey-bellied sword and my good brother who wants to put me to death, they will all jump out, step on my body, and even spray countless stinky saliva, so that I will sink completely. At that time, it was a blessing that I was not relegated to the rank of a commoner. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Ye Shubai was also secretly frightened, if this is really the case, the consequences are really big or small. It's up to His Majesty to characterize the matter. If Your Majesty wants to do the thing of abolition......

Thinking of this, Ye Shubai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, no matter what the results are, in the final analysis, it just depends on Your Majesty's intentions, I think that the bigger the actions of others, the more beneficial it will be for Your Highness." ”

Yun Yejun was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

Ye Shubai said: "The emperor's wrist is the primary check and balance, that is, the pursuit of balance. If His Highness loses the battle, he will definitely be punished. Because the emperor lost face. But face is not everything, and it is impossible for the emperor to lose his reason to judge right and wrong. Because the Holy One today is not a faint king. Therefore, if someone wants to take advantage of His Royal Highness's difficulties and desperately fall into the well, it will only arouse the emperor's disgust. Because that upsets the Emperor's need to maintain a balance. There is no doubt that the emperor could not let a certain king's family dominate. ”

Yun Yejun frowned, thought for a moment, and finally showed an approving smile: "If you write it white, it makes me pause, and all those who are in positions have this kind of stinky problem of checks and balances. ”

Ye Shu's white eyes condensed, and he muttered: "How to fight the battle, we don't have to worry about it, just let those generals plan it, and let professional people do professional things." That is to say, there is a specialization in the art industry, which is the leader's mastery. So there are no problems that need to be addressed urgently. But I did get interested in one person. ”
