Chapter 190: Lack of food
Xing Hao felt a trace of despair, and the two thousand brothers he brought out were now only a dozen or so people in front of him, and the rest were all lying on this land and sleeping peacefully. These ghosts could not be killed, and it only took half an hour to completely defeat Xing Hao's troops. Xing Hao was very anxious in his heart, looking forward to Zhao Haiquan's rescue and the arrival of Master Zhenxiu. It's a pity that no one from the left or right has appeared, and the last dozen or so brothers have also shown their defeat. In a hurry, Xing Hao had no choice but to pin his hopes on Yin Xuesong. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he took out the earth spirit bead and was about to inject spiritual power, when a bow and arrow shot over, and it just happened to shoot at the earth spirit bead.
After the Earth Spirit Bead was hit by the arrow, a dazzling burst of bright light erupted, turning into a handful of sand in an instant, scattered in Xing Hao's palm. Xing Hao was stunned by the scene in front of him, and his legs fell to the ground.
When Master Zhenxiu and Zhao Haiquan bombarded them with five thunder talismans, what they saw was this scene, and the despair revealed in Xing Hao's eyes made the two of them tremble in their hearts. When the two of them walked to Xing Hao's side, the last brother of the Zhenliao Capital Guard had already been martyred. When Xing Hao looked up at the two of them, the suppressed emotions in his heart finally broke out, and tears burst out like a dam bursting, crying at the two of them: "The brothers encountered a large-scale ambush, these ghosts are like growing out of a tree, no matter how they kill, the brothers fought with their lives, and they all died in battle." Now even the Earth Spirit Bead is gone, there is nothing. β
When Xing Hao said that the earth spirit bead was gone, the two of them thought that it was because of the chaos of the scene and fell to the ground and disappeared, and when Xing Hao stretched out his hand holding the dust in front of them, he vaguely felt bad. Zhen Xiu pulled Xing Hao up from the ground and said to Zhao Haiquan: "No matter what, let's go first and go back to the camp to talk." This is not the place to speak, you use the five thunder talismans in front to clear the way for us, and after I am responsible for breaking off with Xing Hao, we must flee back immediately. β
Xing Hao saw the five thunder talismans in Zhao Haiquan's hand, reached out and grabbed a few, and roared at the surrounding ghosts, and the broken limbs were mixed with the scorching and unpleasant smell, which caused a great impact on people's vision and smell. It was also because of Xing Hao's onslaught that the movement of this group of ghosts slowed down.
The three of them took advantage of the short gap and fled back the way they came. Seeing that the three of them had fled, the group of ghosts did not chase them, and all of them retreated to the previous ambush site and hid. When they ran back to the barracks, Xiao Lie saw that the three of them were so embarrassed, so he ran over in a panic, grabbed Xing Hao, who was in the worst state, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, what's wrong with you?" and looked at Zhen Xiu and Zhao Haiquan again.
None of the three of them answered his question, Zhao Haiquan and Zhen Xiu hugged Xing Hao, walked into the handsome tent, let him sit on a chair, and poked the pear flower gun next to him. Xiao Lie asked anxiously again: "You guys are talking, what's the matter, why didn't so many brothers come back with you, are they all ...... It's all ......."
"Yes, none of those soldiers can come back, and the corpses I brought back are only about 2,000, which means that we still lost more than 1,000 troops. Master Zhenxiu sat on the chair and said to Xiao Lie in a low voice: "We are returning from the feathers, the opposite side should have calculated that we will rush out from the rear, and they did not attack from the front, which means that their forces are arranged to encircle us on the way back to Hecheng." It was my poor thinking that caused this consequence, I was naΓ―ve. β
Xiao Lie looked at Master Zhenxiu, and several times he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally after a few hesitations, he slowly spoke: "A defeat is nothing, and there is no one in this world who can be regarded as a victorious general." The ancients won and lost as a common thing in soldiers, and when everyone missed, we didn't understand the behavior of the ghosts, so we suffered their losses. After these few encounters, I basically know them clearly, and I just need to be more careful in the future. If it really doesn't work, let's withdraw to Hecheng and find Senior Brother Yin and Brother Nangong to discuss the strategy carefully, and we will definitely not fail. β
"We can't go back, we can't go back to Hecheng. Xing Hao finally woke up from his stunned state, with tears on his expressionless face, and said to Xiao Lie: "Tu Lingzhu...... The Earth Spirit Bead is gone. β
"What? What do you mean? The Earth Spirit Bead is gone, where did you lose it? Have you looked for it carefully? How can you lose it?" Xiao Lie couldn't believe his ears, how could a supreme treasure like the Earth Spirit Bead be easily thrown away, and continued to ask questions to Xing Hao.
And Xing Hao raised his eyes, his eyes were lost to Xiao Lie, and also to the other two people, and told him what happened before, with tears streaming down his eyes as he spoke, and he could also experience the extreme despair of loss from his words. Xing Hao also said: "I tried to use the contact butterfly to contact the senior brother, but I was intercepted by the ghost, and even a contact butterfly can't fly in the encirclement, let's ...... We were really surrounded by them this time. β
"Don't worry, we won't be surrounded by this group of jumping clowns here. We still have soldiers in our hands, and as long as the four of us stay together, we will not be easily defeated by them. Since we can't get in touch with Hecheng, let's wait for them to take the initiative to contact us. There is enough food and grass in the camp for a few days, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being. Let's take our time to find a way, the main thing is that we must not be overwhelmed by this defeat, as long as the belief in our hearts is not extinguished, we still have hope. Xiao Lie persuaded Xing Hao, and also comforted Zhao Haiquan and Master Zhenxiu.
In fact, these four people know that the next days are probably going to be difficult, and their emotions determine the momentum of these soldiers, no matter how low these people are in the tent, as long as they walk out of the tent and see the soldiers, they will return to a righteous and invincible attitude.
However, in the ghost camp, the evil demon sat in the tent and laughed at the ghost general: "What do I say, they will definitely take the initiative to attack, but I never expected that they would be so calm and act so fast." I'm really fooling us, I'll just say that it's right to arrange most of the troops in the direction of Hecheng, don't you believe it, but you're still satisfied with the outcome of the matter this time?"
The ghost general's face was full of embarrassment, and he said to the evil demon: "The demon lord is wise, it is the last general who is confused, and the last general thinks too highly of these people, how can they escape from the palm of the demon lord's hand." So Demon Lord, what are we going to do next? Will we still fight the first attack?"
"Don't fight!" "The angry demon said decisively: "This time it has taught them a lesson, and it has made them suffer a big loss, and if they attack them, they will be a bit of a bully." We don't need to do things so absolutely, wouldn't it be nice to watch more dramas. There are some things that you don't have to rely on force to solve, but using your brain more will make you very relaxed. β
"The last general is a rough man, and he really can't do this brain-using thing. "The demon was suddenly embarrassed by the evil spirit's words.
This provoked the angry demon to laugh, pointed with his hand, laughed at the ghost general, and said, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." A ghost general with a ghost ghost can still be ashamed, this is really a strange news in the world. It is so unattainable in the Sect, and in this life, it has actually added a lot of mortal habits. Do I have to find you a daughter-in-law to be more in line with your current temperament?"
"The demon lord should not joke with the last general, let's ask the demon lord to arrange the next things. The ghost general's face suddenly turned red, which shows that this murderous demon king also has such an unknown side.
The angry demon laughed for a while, and said to the ghost general: "There is nothing to arrange, tell the brothers, you can pretend these days, the main thing is to show them a few stupid pigs, I feel that they will definitely not take the initiative to attack us after today's incident." Our goal has actually been achieved, and now the main task is to watch them become chaotic due to hunger, and after they have thrown themselves into disarray, we are launching a surprise attack to annihilate them all in one fell swoop. If the previous plan is canceled, there is no need to go to the place where they are hoarding grain and grass, they will expose that place by themselves, and this will save us a lot of energy. So, it's a lot of fun to go to the theater. β
After experiencing this defeat, Xiao Lie, Xing Hao, Zhao Haiquan and Master Zhenxiu closed their doors and hung up the free battle card, and had no intention of attacking again. On the side of the evil spirits, as he himself said, he pretended to be every day, yelled at them a few times and hurried back to the village.
Five days passed like this, and on the morning of the sixth day, Zhao Haiquan was very panicked and found Xiao Lie, who was discussing with Zhenxiu and Xing Hao how to contact Yin Xuesong in Hecheng. After Zhao Haiquan came to the tent, he said to a few of them: "What I am most worried about and what I don't want to happen the most has still happened, our grain and grass can last for three days, and the surplus wealth for one more day is gone." Is there anything you can think of to contact Yin Xuesong?"
Xiao Lie shook his head, sighed and replied, "No way, I haven't figured out any way." It was so hard to break out of the encirclement now, and this morning and last night I sent 200 brothers to try to break out, but as you can imagine, none of them returned. Master Zhenxiu also tried to break through alone, but the result was also in vain. β
"If there is no way to contact Crane City, we will have to slaughter the war horses in a few days to fill our stomachs. At that time, the morale of the army will really be scattered. Now there is a saying in the barracks that our current state is waiting for death, and if those soldiers see that they start to slaughter war horses to satisfy their hunger, they will really be self-defeating. Zhao Haiquan said extremely worriedly.
"What then, should we continue to take risks? If these people are allowed to charge into battle and sacrifice their lives to kill the enemy now, I don't think it will be possible. Let them out, they won't have to surrender right away?"
"This battle must be fought, but it is not such a fight, you listen to me. The latest chapter of "Kanto Road Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
