Southern Xinjiang military camp. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Qing stood on the lookout, quietly watching the faint twilight blown by the breeze.
After bidding farewell to Li Xin, Mu Qing and Erha came directly to southern Xinjiang through the teleportation array, and after several teleportations and long journeys, they finally reached the forefront of the Qin army.
Southern Xinjiang is hot and humid, affected by its environment, the mountains and forests are mostly poisonous miasma, so it is sparsely populated; there are many mountains and rivers, dense forests and swamps, and there are endless floods and exotic beasts, among which there are more poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions, even if there is no Wu tribe to stop it, it is extremely difficult for the Qin army to advance;
Although the Qin army was strong in battle and the Wu clan was invincible, they lived here for a long time, were familiar with the environment, and then attacked with their unique witchcraft techniques, the Qin army suffered great losses, and even the main general Tu Ju was killed by the other party.
According to the information obtained from the data, although the Qin army has advanced into southern Xinjiang for more than three years, the army has long been stagnant, and the territory controlled by the Qin army has continued to rebel, and the morale has dropped very seriously, but after Mu Qing arrived, he found that the situation was diametrically opposite.
Compared with the map before coming, the Qin army has now advanced to the south for tens of thousands of miles, morale is quite high, and the territory is peaceful and peaceful, the people who migrated from Zhongzhou have been properly resettled by officials from all over the country, the people are pioneering and farming, and the young children are following the officials to practice and study, except for the miasma outside the camp and the colorful clouds floating in the sky, it seems that this is already a happy land.
According to Erha's inquiry, the Qin army was still as the information said, but after the arrival of Mrs. Mu and Chu Xia a few days ago, the situation changed instantly. According to the method taught by Mrs. Mu, the Qin army changed its defensive methods, so that most of the Wu tribe's sneak attacks were useless, but instead took the opportunity to kill and injure a large number of Wu people, and in early summer, they also shot and injured the opponent's main envoy.
The Qin army has excellent means, most of the poisonous miasma in southern Xinjiang is dispersed and avoided, although the sky is still full of poisonous clouds at this time, and the warships cannot be raised, but the Qin army still sets up a formation to firmly surround the mountains in front of them, although the tribes in the mountains are not afraid of death to charge and attack, but under the cold and effective means of killing the enemy of the Qin army, the casualties are heavy, and the masters have been killed, under the order of Mrs. Mu, the Qin army collected the enemy's corpse and slowly marched towards the mountain.
Mu Qing looked at the corpses of the tribes that had been killed, and found that they were very different from the descriptions of the Qin army. In the records of the Qin army, the Wu tribe is not as good as the Qin army, and most of them do not fight directly, but attack from afar with strange and unpredictable witchcraft and Gu arts, but the central mountain tribe is strong and strong, and is equipped with magic weapon axes and shields, and painted with eyes and huge mouths on the bare chest and abdomen, which is fierce and abnormal; they not only kill the enemy directly in close combat, but also have extremely strong vitality, Mu Qing has seen people who have been beheaded by the Qin army but are still immortal, and those people have become more fierce and powerful because of this.
Mu Qing recalled the books he had read, and found that these people were very similar to the Xingtian clan recorded in ancient books, but their strength was too much worse, but when Xingtian fought with the Yellow Emperor, they had been sealed in Changyang Mountain, and his people were also besieged by the heavenly soldiers at that time, and it was impossible to appear in the south of the Nanzhan Continent, which was nearly a continent away.
Mu Qing entered the mountain with the Qin army, the Qin army's tactics were sharp, and soon killed to the tribe in the middle of the mountain, under the attack of all kinds of spells and instruments, the large array of the witch department was broken, Mu Qing led the troops to rush in first, and killed directly to the center of the tribe.
In the middle of the place where the Wu tribe lives, a very wide square is kneeling with sparse old and weak women and children, in the center of the crowd, but a quaint boulder altar, on the altar, an old man with a cane is singing and dancing towards a tall stone statue, and the people on the ground are singing in unison, kowtowing to the altar.
The Wu people sang in a low voice, the timbre was sad, but it was full of unyielding and fighting spirit, although the Qin army broke through, but the surrounding shouts of killing still resounded through the mountains.
"--Kill!"
The rain of arrows covered the sacrificial people, the bows and crossbows whistled, and the singing continued, and when only the last sound remained in the rain of arrows, Mu Qing heard the priest shouting in an old voice:
"The punishment is immortal, and the fighting spirit lasts forever!"
The Wu people originally sang and sacrificed in the tribal language, but the old priest finally shouted in a clear and fluent Zhongzhou language.
Hearing the old priest shouting, Mu Qing looked towards the altar that was flooded by the rain of arrows, and found that the stone statue sacrificed by the Wu people was actually a statue of Xingtian, different from the image of the cadre dancing in the book, but this statue was kneeling on one knee with a giant axe, and the huge shield was on the side, blocking everyone's view, which made it difficult to notice.
Although the statue knelt on the ground, its chest still tried to raise its chest to look at the sky, as if to show the anger and unwillingness in its heart, and people couldn't help but respect the hero who fought against the Emperor.
The rain of arrows stopped, and the surrounding shouting and killing gradually stopped, the Qin army surrounded the central square from all directions, and the dense arrows on the square almost submerged the wide square, and as the Qin army cast a spell, the arrows were put away by the mana, revealing the miserable corpses below.
After many killings, Mu Qing was accustomed to this kind of tragic situation, but when he saw the blood flowing everywhere on the ground, he couldn't help frowning, and when he spread his divine sense throughout the square, he found that the blood stains of the Wu people were amazingly painted into a strange pattern, converging towards the altar.
Seeing this, he hurriedly urged the mana to remove the corpses on the ground, and at the same time spread the root vine towards the square, intending to suck the blood and interrupt the operation of the formation.
Instructed by Mu Qing Chuanyin, Erha swung his long sword and slashed towards the bluestone square, and at the same time ordered Qin Jun: "Destroy the blood array!"
Even if the campaign went well, the elite of the Qin army present still did not dare to relax their vigilance, and the enemy had all been wiped out, and they still maintained a small formation. At this time, they all took action when they heard the order, and blasted towards the ground with the power of the military formation.
After a short period of silence, the roar resounded through the mountain again, but after a spark, the square was cut off a shallow layer, revealing the true face below, and on the bronze ground, the blood-colored array was still the same, and Mu Qing's roots and vines all fell into the void.
A red light flashed, and Lady Wood appeared in the sky above the tribe.
The Qin army was still vigilant and continued to bombard the blood-painted bronze ground, when Lady Mu in the air suddenly ordered:
"Take the corpse with you, and the whole army retreats. ”
When the Qin army heard this, they quickly retreated, and at the same time took away the scattered corpses of the Wu people with storage magic weapons and magic weapons, but in a moment, they had already begun to withdraw from the tribe.
The body of the wood demon has a strong resistance to the poisonous miasma, Mu Qing flew into the air, looking at the huge stone statue with a rapidly spreading blood line, his brows furrowed, he swung his sword and slashed at the Xingtian statue, but the sound of metal handover sounded, sparks burst out, large cyan stone flakes were scattered, and the statue revealed a dark bronze material, and the statue was like a bronze square, and the blood was still the same.
In the continuous flow of blood, a disturbing aura gradually rose in the mountains, as if the ancient beast was slowly awakening.
The Qin army quickly retreated, and seeing Mrs. Mu, whose face was still indifferent, Mu Qing turned around and flew out of the tribe, but at this moment, the heavens and the earth suddenly shook violently, and in Mu Qing's divine sense, the huge Xingtian statue slowly moved, and the movement became faster and faster.
In the flying stone dust, the bronze Xingtian stood up and roared angrily. (To be continued.) )
