Chapter 109: Dark Tide (Part II)

Nearly 40,000 Liu Hengjun arrived in Yinshui Town.

Liu Heng and Yougen led all their subordinates to search the ruins for the broken bones of the corpses that had not yet been gnawed by the beasts.

They carved out a clearing in the middle of the ruins and piled the bones they had collected on it.

"There's an old saying in my hometown. ”

Arigen raised his head and stared at the top of the stacked bones.

"The dead are greater. ”

"If I follow the custom of my hometown, I should dig a pit and bury it all. ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng, who was standing beside Yougen, nodded.

"The wilderness of violent corpses is indeed a great disrespect to the dead. ”

"But burying the bones directly into the soil does not show the slightest respect. ”

Hearing this, Yougen frowned slightly, and his eyes showed a little helplessness.

"What then?"

"You can't burn it again, can you?"

"I have instructed the generals to take people to nail the wooden coffin. ”

Liu Heng turned his head to look at Yougen, his face looked a little hesitant.

"Wait a few more days, wait for these bones to enter the coffin and bury them, and then our army will set off again. ”

Hearing this, Yougen did not hesitate at all.

He shook his head and said in an affirmative tone: "Can't wait, Ningchuan Pass won't go down for a day, and time is still not on our side." ”

"The enemy is a coalition army, and in order to prevent it from counterattacking, our army cannot separate stragglers. ”

Yougen turned his head, glanced at Liu Heng, and then turned around.

He turned his back to the towering corpses and bones heaped on the ground.

His face was expressionless, and his eyes were slightly gray.

"I'll be buried tonight. ”

Yougen hung his head slightly and strode forward.

"Let them dig the pit deeper. ”

The footsteps in his ears faded away, and Liu Heng put his hands behind his back.

Tears gleamed in his eyes. He stood still.

Between the ruins, the soldiers sat around the bonfire that had just risen.

Yougen grabbed one of the soldiers and gave him a few words.

He followed the narrow road and passed through the crowded soldiers.

He walked to a carriage.

It was originally a chariot with a red lid, which had been transformed into airtight during the march.

The sturdy body with horizontal wooden nails can withstand all bumps in the march.

The original red canopy has long been completely dismantled, and the roof that should have been open has also been tightly covered by the rattan found by Yougen.

The thick leather cushions that covered the interior of the car emitted an unbearable stench.

There was a grimacing face that pulled open the car door, and the stench entered his nostrils.

His face remained unchanged. He jumped into the carriage and closed the door.

Sitting on the thick leather cushion, a thin golden glow lingers in the ears of the roots.

With the blessing of vitality, he could already hear the sound of digging in the open space where the bones were piled up.

He pursed his lips slightly, silently used his mental method, and slowly closed his eyes.

When his eyes were completely closed, two lines of tears finally slipped out of the corners of his eyes.

On the second day, when the morning light first appeared.

Ready-to-assemble. Liu Heng, whose eyes were red and swollen, walked to the gate of the camp.

He took a slight breath and lifted the curtain at the door.

The naphtha held the reins in his hand and led the black dragon to stand quietly in front of the camp gate.

Watching Liu Heng, who was dressed in armor, walk out of the barracks, the swarthy horse shook his head. The horse's mouth opened and neighed with joy.

Walking to the side of the horse and taking the reins handed by the stone naphthalm, Liu Heng's face was serious.

He stretched out his right hand and grasped the iron-clad edge of the saddle.

Feel the cold, hard touch in the palm of your hand. Liu Heng tugged at the corners of his mouth, turned over and climbed onto the horse's back.

The black dragon hissed for a long time in his mouth, and walked forward excitedly with Liu Heng.

Liu Heng slightly lifted the reins in his left hand. Extend your right hand to your side.

He spread out his right hand with the palm facing up.

"Buzz~!"

The sound is sudden and continuous.

The crescent ancient halberd rushed out of the barracks and stopped in Liu Heng's hands.

Liu Heng held the halberd shaft of the halberd with his right hand, and flexibly flicked the halberd with his fingers, picking up a circle.

After sweeping away all the dew condensed on the blade of the halberd, Liu Heng held the halberd shaft tightly.

He turned his head and glanced not far from the barracks.

Yougen was still meditating with his eyes closed in the carriage.

The sackclothed monkey stone was already sitting at the front of the carriage, and the horse pulling the carriage had also been strapped.

Looking at the carriage that was not moving, Liu Heng turned his head and pursed his lips, then raised the halberd in his hand.

"Let's go!"

In Liu Hengjun, who had already formed a whole team, the flag bearer waved the flag in his hand.

The commander commanded his soldiers to shout rhythmic commands.

All the troops are marching.

Except for the barbarians who were all armed with machetes, in every ordinary army formation that was advancing, the soldiers with long weapons walked in the front.

Soldiers with short weapons, carrying large shields and archers, lined up behind the soldiers with long weapons.

Constantly absorbing new soldiers, it quickly grew to 1,800 cavalry, clustered around Liu Heng, and slowly marched in the center of the whole army.

At the end of the whole army, the wagons full of grain and the looted cattle were sandwiched between the two barbarian pawns, and they were tightly protected.

There was no grain in the wagon with roots, but it was also sandwiched between the barbarians.

The army drove out of Yinshui Town, and Yougen, who was sitting in the carriage, opened his eyes.

Because of the uneven road surface, even if the monkey stone driving is intentionally limiting the speed of the car.

The carriage was still shaking, but the reason why Yougen opened his eyes was not because of the bumps caused by the shaking of the carriage.

The golden rays that penetrate the body wrap around the whole body of the roots like a liquid.

He pushed open the door and rushed out of the carriage.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a golden light passing by, and Monkey Stone suddenly pulled the reins in his hand.

He turned his head to look at the carriage, and he saw the door being opened.

Monkey Stone was slightly stunned, then immediately shook his head and began to look left and right, only to find that there were constantly shuttled vehicles with wheat stacks tied to them.

He didn't find a root.

Although there is a root that is not far from him.

Carrying the Gangyuan in the body, it gathered in both legs, and there was a root that gently stepped on a few ears of wheat.

He stood at the top of the stack and looked into the distance

The golden light shined through Yougen's eyes, and Yougen saw everything two hundred miles away.

The vitality accumulated in his eyes was dissipated, and Yougen's face immediately became gloomy.

Pitch-black clouds loomed overhead, and black-feathered ravens spread their wings like eagles under the clouds, hovering low.

There should be no birds under the clouds.

Nothing is quite normal.

There were crows hovering overhead, but he didn't hear the slightest hoarse noise.

General Bai, who was riding a horse, seemed to be unmoved on his face, but his heart welled up with uneasiness.

Biting his lower lip, General Bai calmed down, and his right hand tightened the thin shaft of the spear even harder.

The next moment, he was flying.

Just like a tall giant, he twisted General Bai's body with his fingers and lifted him directly into the air dozens of meters high.

Holding the blue spear shaft with both hands, General Bai lowered his head and looked at the subordinates who had become smaller, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually calmed down. (To be continued......)
