Chapter 81: The Dark Tide is Surging
In the way of revealing the face of the old predecessors of the city lord Zou Lanzhou, the Qiao Fu and Qiao Ni brothers and sisters have a very high status in the Seven Star Alliance, but after several battles with Yanshui, Yu Shihuan found that although they are honest and simple, they also have some stubbornness of the people in the remote and barren corners. To put it bluntly, it is a little unassuming, the key is that every time Yu Shihuan lowers his face and has the heart to apply for the rhythm of the alliance, they still look aggrieved and don't know why. After a few times, Yu Shihuan became more and more disliked, for the sake of Zou's seniors, it was not easy to care, but he also deliberately alienated them.
For example, this time when they came to help, it was clear that the Qiao brothers and sisters were quite skilled in flying, but Yu Shihuan arranged them in the ranks of those who were not good at controlling the wind and wind, and said that they would take over the duties and not let a large number of walking fellow people leave the team, but in fact, he didn't want them to take the credit for their own work.
The brothers and sisters of the Qiao family did not have much scheming, but they happily agreed in the face of this obviously unreasonable arrangement, and thought that they were quite relied on by the deputy alliance leader.
didn't expect that he had only been here for half a day, and the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family had already followed, Yu Shihuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What is the front of the rear team?"
"Ah, it's so cold here, what's that white flower in the sky?" Joni stomped her foot, took the falling snowflakes, and looked at them carefully in her hands, and the white air coming out of her mouth was a ball. The people from the hot and humid islands in the south were obviously a little uncomfortable with the cold weather in the Central Plains, and they had never even seen snow, so they couldn't help but talk to themselves curiously, and their crisp voices were as pleasant as silver bells.
Listening to Yu Shihuan's ears, it was not so pleasant, this little girl didn't care about what she was asking at all, but her faction was really natural tomorrow, and it was not intentional, so he couldn't get up even if he was unprepared.
After all, Qiao Fu is a few years older than Qiao Ni, and he is relatively stable, and he also heard Yu Shihuan's inquiry, so he said in a very serious tone: "It's the deputy alliance leader who asked us to take over the allies of the rear team, and we have a small spell in Condensation City that can make people who can't fly go with the wind." However, my sister and I have limited mana, and this spell can only take care of a limited number of dozens of people, so we divided the rear team into the front and the back, and let dozens of allies with higher skills as the front, led by our spells, although it is not as fast as the speed of everyone to ride the clouds, but it is much faster than walking, so let them come here first, as for the others, they are all in the rear, and they are still hurrying in the mountain road, and they are afraid that they will not be able to get here in more than ten days. ”
It's my own idea again, when do I want them to divide the rear team into the front and the back? But I never thought that the other party still had a spell that could make others go with the wind, Yu Shihuan muttered in his heart, but looking at Qiao Fu's face full of joy like doing a great deed, I thought that this so-called small spell was not simple, thinking about it, it was able to bring dozens of characters who couldn't fly in such a fast time, only half a day slower than himself, it was indeed an extremely great spell, and it was strange that Qiao Fu couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Of course, Yu Shihuan is inconvenient to say that he has once again made his own assertions, and he has to praise him a few words: "Very good, it is great to be able to bring more allies and fellow Taoists to come." ”
Qiao Fu only said that Yu Shihuan was sincerely praised, and suddenly couldn't stop blushing and humbling: "Ah, it's nothing, it's just a good effort, and I don't dare to miss the big thing of the alliance." Kuang Host, Huo Xing Lord, and the secondary host, they are all in the front. ”
This is to say that Kuang Xiong, the owner of the Iron Clothes Gate, Huo Ying, the owner of the Eagle Chou Jian Village, and Mr. Kuang San, the owner of the Dijie Gate, it is undeniable that these few people are also the first-class masters of the Lizong lineage, and Qiao Fu did his best to put them into the front and brought them here as quickly as possible. Yu Shihuan nodded noncommittally, but said in his heart: It's okay to come, in the future, if you fight face-to-face with demons like the one in front of you, let them take the lead, anyway, the people of the Li Sect have always been good at this.
After Qiao Fu finished his report, he turned his head to look at the battlefield with enthusiastic envy: "Deputy Alliance Leader, then my sister and I will also go there to help?"
Now you know that you want me to agree? Yu Shihuan was about to speak, but found that Qiao Fu just said hello to himself, and he didn't think about whether he agreed or not, maybe he felt that it was natural to kill demons, and what was the need to allow it? He had already dragged Qiao Ni: "Go, fight these northern monsters!"
At this moment, there was a loud sound of the sky cracking in the inner city, and the light and clouds concentrated the air waves that lifted most of the palace building, and sawdust and rubble flew everywhere.
"It's in!" said Hu Ergongzi with great joy.

White Horse Temple, built at the beginning of the eleventh year of Emperor Yongping of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is located in the mountains and forests of more than 20 miles outside the Yongmen Gate of Luoyang East City. It has a history of hundreds of years, once it can be said to be the first ancient temple of Buddhism, but in the decades of war, it has been damaged repeatedly, and now only a few dilapidated houses and dilapidated Buddha statues can barely shelter from the wind and snow, and the monks have not seen half of them, but they have lived more than 100 refugees who fled from Luoyang.
Most of these refugees are old and weak women and children, and the dangerous city can not be stationed for a long time, but if there is some strength, they will not settle down so close to Luoyang City, but when the snow is heavy, the road is difficult to walk, they are in a hurry, and they have not brought more food rations and warm clothes, so they can only live in this ancient temple and deserted temple first.
Maybe they were still a little lucky, after all, they didn't see the arrival of the demon with their own eyes, what if it was a false rumor, but in fact it was just an attack by the Qin army? What if Luoyang City was defended? At least they could return home before those who fled farther away!
However, after a few days, the news brought by the pathfinders, who were barely able to walk, was not optimistic, and they had the courage to return to the east of Luoyang, where they saw with their own eyes the strange color of light in the sky and the continuous shouting of killing.
Luoyang City is really in danger, the cry of a baby sounded in the broken window of the cold wind, and the refugees stood up with difficulty, seeing that the wind and snow were gradually decreasing, this was the best opportunity to leave in so many days.
A few young men in the crowd walked in the front, the once solemn vermilion lacquer gate has now become mottled and decayed, and when it is squeaked open, there is still a sizzling wind, and the outside of the temple is icy and snowy, white and dazzling.
The first young man stopped his steps about to cross the threshold, and looked at each other in amazement, and he saw a black dot under the snow-covered hillside, from far to near, becoming clearer and clearer, and in an instant, a black dot became several, dozens, hundreds, thousands, like a colony of black ants moving rapidly and gathering more and more.
It was thousands of knights, and the sound of horses' hooves on the snow gradually condensed into a rumbling roar, and the young man quickly saw the knight's clothes on horseback.
"Donghu people!" the young man turned around and shouted loudly, his tone became extremely sharp because of panic and fear, "The cavalry of the Donghu Xianbei people!"

The west city gate still retains the scene of the city break a few days ago, the tall city wall seems to have been hit by a huge battering ram, opening a huge gap, broken bricks and rubble are scattered all over the ground, the length of the gap is uneven, as if densely covered with sharp teeth, the forest wide mouth that selects people and eats.
The snow covered the shattered corpses, but the bleak realm could still be imagined as a bloody battle.
Chen Song leaned over and picked up a piece of debris scattered on the snow, thinking it was a city brick, but when he got closer, he found that it was a broken hand, but it was frozen and covered with snow for many days, and its cold and hard solidity was almost the same as a city brick.
It seemed that his severed hand was also a little uncomfortable, Chen Song exhaled a long breath, carefully put the severed hand back in place, and when he raised his eyes, he looked around not far away, with a solemn expression.
On the way to Mengjindu, they saw this relic after the Great War and descended to observe, Chen Song did not notice anything wrong except sighing, but Jiang'an became more and more suspicious.
"The cavalry army composed of golden-eyed beasts, this should be the originality of Qianlisheng, he has always had a unique secret about the beasts that control the four legs, but why did he bring so many dogs? This kind of low-level demon spirit is not much stronger than the fierce mastiff in the world, and it is a bit child's fun to use them to fight. ”
Chen Song didn't ask what kind of monster the dog was, he didn't want to interrupt Jiang An's train of thought.
Jiang'an thought for a long time, and pulled Chen Song again: "Let's go, go to Mengjindu and have a look." ”
......
Due to the imminent war and the resumption of the war, within the range of more than ten miles from Mengjin to Luoyang City, the original few residents had escaped a month ago, which was a fortunate thing, otherwise these mortals who were on the road of the Heavenly Army of Fly Mountain would have become blood food in the mouth of the demon.
From the crossing of Mengjindu, the water surface of the Yellow River is sparkling, neither the water is turbulent, nor has it been frozen by the wind and snow for many days.
You can still hear the sound of gurgling water, the whirring wind, and the shore is bare-covered with leopard prints, not caring about the cold at all, and his eyes that are familiar with the Flyshan Heavenly Army are keenly searching for clues with suspicious points.
"Why do you start here?" he frowned, "I know that the area where Fly Mountain is out of bounds, isn't it the most convenient and fast to come out of the shore of Luoshui? But how did it take a long detour? But if it is said that the soldiers are pointing directly at Luoyang, it should be very inconvenient to go to the rescue." ”
"The snow has been so heavy these days that it has covered up a lot of traces. Chen Song felt that he couldn't help much, so he said something that was equivalent to not saying anything, and looked up at the sky with a little emptiness.
It was this look that saw a cluster of green shadows shining in the sky in the distance, but it was moving here, he couldn't distinguish the details, and alertly mentioned his own strength, and the iron spear in his left hand also tightened, and at the same time signaled to the general: "Look there, what is coming?"
Jiang An just glanced up, and then retracted his gaze disappretently: "It should be that the backup of the Demon Dao is coming here one after another, don't worry, there is no sign of demonic energy." ”
This smooth remark suddenly made Jiang An stunned, and a thought flashed in his heart: "The breath left by more than 4,000 Heavenly Army demon soldiers here, according to their demonic power, seems to be very different from what they perceive here. ”
The traces of the demonic air rotation have nothing to do with the weather in the world, and the shore knows very well what kind of breath more than 4,000 demons should glow when they gather in one place, especially when they have just landed on the shore and their morale is high, even if six or seven days have passed, it should never be the faint and faint situation left behind now.
Jiang'an participated in the battle for a few days, and he didn't ask about the situation at the beginning of the battle of Luoyang, but now it is through Guò's own discovery that all kinds of unreasonable things have been deduced, it is certain that when the demon soldiers gathered here, they did not release their demon power, which is not in line with the practice of the demon spirit clan to go to war, except that this is to deliberately cover up their movements.
But since it was such a big move as the attack on Luoyang, what was the need to cover it up? And why did those heavenly demon soldiers use their demon power unscrupulously after that?
The joint is in the period from where they landed here to finally use the demon power, looking at the scene of the West City Gate just now, it was obviously destroyed by the demon power, and the shore knew the time when the West City Gate fell, but it could be said that it was lost that night, so from the night before to the next night, what was the purpose of the demon soldiers to suppress the demon power?
Inulu ...... Take a long detour...... Suppress demonic power...... The various clues were connected in the head of the shore, and a flash of aura, as if he had vaguely grasped the tail of the truth, suddenly lay his whole body on the snowy ground, not avoiding the cold, and put his ears on it.
Chen Song was very surprised: "Brother Jiang'an, what are you doing?"
He put his finger to his mouth, signaled silence, closed his eyes and listened for a long time, and gradually his face became solemn. Sure enough, the apparent calm here was actually a dark tide lurking, and he heard the sound of breath coming from under the ground, and the dull reverberation of this breath could only be formed by thousands of people opening their mouths to breathe at the same time.
"Underground!ambush!" Jiang An jumped up and shouted loudly, Xuan Tiangang's qi had already urged the valley to the extreme, and he used all his strength to smash down to the snow ground.

"We're doing well enough. "This time it was the white fox who opened his mouth, there are only a few areas left in the inner palace city that are still resisting, the offensive of the Seven Star Alliance is too fierce, even the demon soldiers have not delayed the opponent's offensive for too long, but this is due to the difference in strength, too many first-rate realm demon masters, if these demon soldiers fight with the other party one by one, I am afraid that within one hour at most, they will face the result of the annihilation of the whole army. And like now, it dragged from the early morning to the time when the sun gradually turned west, and brought nearly 200 casualties to the other party, it was already very difficult, and the white fox felt it, but it was not purely to exonerate Zhenshanjun.
Zhenshanjun could only smile bitterly: "I originally thought that it would last at least three days, but now it is only four or five hours." ”
"That means that the strength of the other party at the moment has reached the point where it is worth launching, in fact, they have also gathered together, and there are many masters. Although we can still support them for a while, I don't think the power to hold them back should be completely exhausted. ”
"Mr. Counselor is trying to persuade me to launch?"
The white fox's silent smile made Zhenshan Jun understand, he didn't hesitate anymore, the hand that had been raised several times pressed on the raised tiger head of the right breastplate again, this time he didn't let go, but pressed down hard, and then twisted inward.
