Chapter 511: Misfortune Leads to the East
Slaughtering the city, two words that even Mo Cangqiong didn't dare to say easily, but they were said by Mo Zhai, the deputy commander of Mo Yuwei.
From his facial expression, it could be seen that he was really angry, and watching his brothers be killed by a group of demon beasts, split their bodies, and finally eat them piece by piece into his stomach, which made this iron-blooded man really angry.
Everything was blamed on the carefree Hou Tianao, if it weren't for the fact that Tianao's mansion produced a jealous genius, the emperor would never have started a war.
Mo Yuwei methodically counted the battle damage and treated the wounded, unaware that the Chaos Beast, which was best at concealment, had arrived at his camp.
Underneath a dirt bag where nothing was hidden, in a clump of dead grass about the size of a person, a beam of cold light kept scanning the camp of Mo Yuwei.
This is the Chaos Guard.
At night, those eyes disappeared, and three hundred miles away, a dozen or so Chaos Guards gathered together, but from a distance, they were completely nowhere to be seen.
Unless a monk of the level of the Mo Firmament passed by, he would find clues from their vague aura, and even if Mo Zhai personally came out to inspect, he might not be able to find that there were so many Chaos Guards hiding here.
The leader was concise: "This place is eight hundred miles away from Pingyang City, based on the speed of Mo Yuwei's advance, it will only take about three days to be able to reach the city, and the adults ask to delay the Chaos Guard for ten days, Chaos Thirty-Six, you go to the sand scorpion's nest for a trip." Mix ninety-seven, you go to the thorn beast group five thousand miles away, and give you three days, and you must lure the thorn beast herd over in three days. Mix forty-four, you go to the sea of sand to find the old man of the wild sand, and tell him that Mo Yuwei has entered his territory. ”
Chao Thirty-six asked puzzledly: "Chief, why do you want to lure sand scorpions? Untrained sand scorpions attack indiscriminately, if they are raging at that time, I am afraid that Pingyang City, 800 miles away, will ・・・・・・."
Before he finished speaking, he interrupted his inquiry: "I'm just the deputy leader, don't call me the leader even if the leader is not there in the future." The indiscriminate attack of the sand scorpion is exactly what I want, if it is not like this, how can it make the old man of the wild sand angry. Hmph, it's best to hurt the people of the Wild Sand Veterans, otherwise, in ten days, do you think those thorn beasts and sand scorpions will be able to block millions of Mo Yu Guards?"
The attack power of the sand scorpion is not high, that is, the toxicity is relatively high, and the size is small, but the temperament is very violent, once angry, no matter who it is, as long as it is within the attack range of this demon beast, they will attack without a head.
The Thorn Beasts have strong physical defenses, but they are slow to move, but they are very powerful, and the enraged Thorn Beasts can destroy a city in ten days.
They were ordered to leave, and the Chaos Guard re-ambushed around the Moyuwei camp.
The next day, the scorching sun appeared in the desert from early in the morning, and several old trees, accustomed to protecting themselves with dead branches and leaves, shook their not strong but very strong arms in the wind, and a small sound appeared in the desert hundreds of miles away, and in the wind, the sound seemed a little weak.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, wiped the beads of sweat on his face, and continued to run towards the front under the scorching sun.
The figure of the Chaos Beast that sat down was not revealed, because the aura was not very stable, and the figure of the Chaos Thirty-six in the air appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Green scorpions the size of a human finger were crowded together, like a green carpet moving quickly on the ground, these scorpions were not big, but they moved quickly, and it didn't take long for the voice to appear not far from the camp where Mo Yuwei was stationed.
The ears of several young men guarding the periphery of the Mo Yu Guard moved, and they shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
When the Mo Yuwei inside heard the voice, he immediately reacted, one by one the soldiers formed a queue, the rows of ice blades glowing with cold light were unified, the archers began to find cover, and the foot soldiers erected their heavy shields on the ground, advancing step by step, moving forward.
The voice was close, and Mo Yuwei was in a commotion, but no one expected that it was a sand scorpion.
They are not afraid of a single sand scorpion, but now there are sand scorpions within a radius of at least a hundred feet, and such a battle is not something that ordinary battle-hardened warriors can withstand.
Mo Zhai also saw this scene, and he ordered with a blushing face: "Prepare the archers, shoot the bows and arrows, prepare the footmen, retreat, the cavalry protect the body with true qi and trample!"
Although he felt a little afraid of those sand scorpions, Mo Yuwei was worthy of being the personal guard of Mo Cang, and he actually changed the array in the blink of an eye.
The true qi of the cavalry enveloped the Pegasus so that the Pegasus would not be attacked, and the archers shot in the distance, and the arrows landed accurately in the sand scorpion swarm, but did not hurt the cavalry in the slightest.
The qi carried by the arrow easily tore apart the small body of the sand scorpion, and the iron hooves trampled it, and green juice splashed everywhere when it stepped down.
The attack of the first batch of sand scorpions took about two hours before it was wiped out by Mo Yuwei, and this time because of the proper command, Mo Yuwei did not suffer much damage. But what they never expected was that when Mo Yuwei felt a little tired, the second batch of sand scorpions actually appeared.
Organizing an attack again, Mo Zhai's face became more and more ugly, the sand scorpion's nest was at least three hundred miles away from here, and there was a saltwater lake three hundred miles away, as long as the sand scorpion did not taste the smell of blood, they would not easily leave their nest.
Someone must be playing tricks on this!
This wave of sand scorpions was much larger than the previous wave, at least three times as large as before, and this time, there was a hole in Mo Yuwei's defense, and some soldiers began to be attacked by the sand scorpion's toxin and fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers who had fallen to the ground disappeared as if they had never appeared. Sand scorpions never taboo when they eat, as long as it is something, they will eat it.
Click, click, another soldier and the armored iron horse were eaten clean by the sand scorpions, and Mo Zhai appeared in the battle group, his palm slapped out, and the palm wind blasted thousands of sand scorpions into powder.
After more than a dozen palms in a row, the sand scorpions killed a lot, but as far as the eye could see, there were still many sand scorpions besieging the cavalry of Mo Yuwei.
Mixed into hiding in the dark, just sneaking a glance and leaving, his face was a little solemn, according to the current trend, these sand scorpions are only afraid that they will not be able to stop for three days.
If the Thorn Beast can't come back within three days, I'm afraid that when the Chaos Beast comes to attack Mo Yuwei, it will attack Pingyang City.
Mixed into a beckoned to call Mixed Thirty-Six: "There are still sand scorpions in the sand scorpion's nest?"
"Vice-Commander, all the sand scorpions have appeared. Thirty-six embarrassed answers.
There were no sand scorpions in that nest anymore, at least not in the sand scorpion nest three hundred miles away.
Mixed into a gritted tooth and took out a piece of jade from his bosom with the imprint of Wu Qiu Tian's divine sense, entered the true qi and waited for the jade card to light up and said: "My lord, the number of sand scorpions is not enough, Mo Zhai who led the team this time is the deputy commander of Mo Yuwei, and his cultivation is the same day, ten days, I am afraid that I can't hold it back." ”
Wu Qiutian's voice came from the other end: "You are the Chaos Guard, I ask to hold it for ten days, if you can't even hold it for ten days, what do I want you to do?"
"My lord, I ・・・・・・" mixed into a face of embarrassment.
He really didn't want to tell Wu Qiutian that he couldn't achieve his goal, but if he didn't say it, it would cause losses at that time, and he was afraid that he couldn't afford it.
Wu Qiutian's impatient voice came from there: "It will take at least eight days for the city wall to be repaired here in Pingyang City, and the morale of the soldiers is not high, you know what Xue Wei and his son have done." Does Mo Zhai have a storage ring on him?"
Mixed honestly replied, "He has a storage ring on him." ”
Wu Qiutian groaned, "This is a bit difficult to do! You ask your subordinates to see if Mo Yuwei has a large amount of grain and grass hidden in the Demon Beast Canyon, and if so, let people burn it." The distance from the Buyun Continent to the Hanging Cloud Continent is not short, and with such a long distance, I don't believe that Mo Yuwei can quickly pass through the Demon Beast Canyon. ”
The mixing into the eyes lit up, interrupting the transmission of true qi.
There was no need to send someone to see it at all, on the first day, he had thoroughly explored the entire camp of Mo Yuwei, and there was indeed a lot of grain and grass here, which meant that the other party did not have so many storage rings to store grain and grass. After his mood calmed down a little, he realized that he had hastily interrupted the input of true qi before, and he didn't even say a word of thanks.
The young commander had already given the answer, and the chaos immediately asked his men to ride the chaos beast to the place where the grain and grass were stored.
A fire, dozens of ignition points, just when the battle between Mo Yuwei and the sand scorpion came to an end, and for a while, many of Mo Yuwei's cavalry were turned on their backs. Most of the cavalry fell to the ground because the Pegasus who sat down did not turn their horse's head in time, and hundreds of cavalrymen were injured with a single turn.
The Demon Emperor let out an angry roar, and after flying in the air, he patrolled around, he didn't have time to put out the fire now, he just wanted to find out the culprit who set the fire as soon as possible.
Needless to say, this must be a good thing done by the defenders of Pingyang City.
Since the other party is determined to burn grain and grass, even if people put out fires in the past, I am afraid that there will not be much grain and grass left.
After a few turns, he didn't find anyone, and finally he returned home. Returning to the camp, people counted the battle damage, and decided not to advance for the time being, and at the same time immediately sent people back to the Buyun Continent to transport grain and grass.
Soon, his subordinates counted the losses, there were not many people who lost, but there were a lot of grain and grass lost, and the remaining grain and grass could only supply these millions of Mo Yuwei for three days.
Forward, or wait?
Mo Zhai couldn't make up his mind, he never expected that the intelligence said that Xue Wei, the general of Pingyang who was at the mercy of his son, would actually play such a trick on him.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to wait where he was, if he rushed to Pingyang City, even if he launched an attack immediately, he was afraid that the next day Tianma and the soldiers would only be hungry.
The rest of the grain and grass were in his storage ring, barely enough to eat for three days.
Sitting in the small camp tent, Mo Zhai felt extremely confused about the road ahead, what he didn't know was that at this time, there was a group of enemies rushing towards his camp.
