Zhang Han was originally a knight-errant in the capital of Chu. He had eaten the food of hundreds of families since he was a child, but when he grew up, he was a stealer and did anything.
In recent years, life in Chudu has become increasingly difficult. The market has been deserted and he has lost his livelihood. He happened to be recruiting soldiers and the requirements were very low. He changed his uniform and got military rations as soon as he gritted his teeth.
Today, he happened to be on duty at night.
"Recently, there have been many changes to captains and generals...the eyes of all of them are green, and it makes people look at them!"
The cold wind was howling, and even with a cotton coat, I still felt very cold. I couldn't help but shiver, and I missed my sister in Chunfeng Tower again.
"kill!"
At this moment, there was a sudden loud killing sound at the city gate, which woke him up immediately, and he lost all thoughts.
"There are thieves attacking the city, hurry up and rush to help!"
Under the command of the school captain, Zhang Han rushed to the city gate with a spear in hand, his hands trembling.
When I reached the city wall and looked down, I was so frightened that I almost lost my soul.
By the light of the fire, there were indeed shadowy figures under the city wall, but they were definitely not human beings. They were all grotesque, wearing armor, and even had large pliers on their hands, and they looked fierce.
"What are you still doing? Kill!"
The captain ordered, and a large number of arrows flew down, landing on these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but they scattered little sparks and had little effect.
"I can't use bows and arrows, so I have to use crossbows, rolling logs, and boulders!"
Boom!
A large stone fell on the city wall, and blood immediately spattered below.
Even if the sailors were equipped with scale armor, they could not withstand the head-on impact of such rolling logs and boulders.
"This... this is not a human, this is a demon! I don't want to do this anymore!"
Next to him, a soldier was frightened by this scene, screamed, and was about to run away.
puff!
Blood splashed, Zhang Han's captain smiled ferociously, and with just a wave of his knife, a head fell to the ground, rolling continuously, and blood surged.
"Anyone who dares to escape will be killed without mercy!"
The captain licked the blood on the knife, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face, and his eyes glowed with green light: "Why don't you continue?"
"promise!"
Zhang Han quickly turned his head, but he thought of the hungry wolf he saw when he was a child.
The light in the captain's eyes was exactly the same as that of the old wolf at that time, cunning yet cruel.
"kill!"
If the 20,000-strong army were from the human race and attacked the city at night, they would definitely die as many as they came.
But this time it was the Water Tribe, and it was different.
With two Dragon Lords pressing down on the formation, the Shui Tribe risked their lives, braved arrows and rolled logs, and came to the city wall. Their hands turned into giant pincers, or they grew sharp claws, and they climbed up directly.
"kill!"
A crab general climbed onto the city wall, his two giant claws danced wildly like a sledgehammer, and a clearing was immediately cleared.
Afterwards, the water tribe came up continuously.
"Die!"
The captain pounced on him, and a black light came out from his sword: "Sirian Wolf Demonic Technique, Zuiyue Sword Cut!"
call out!
A sword light as bright as a crescent moon flashed past. The Crab General was startled, and a large crack opened in his chest. A large amount of blood came out, and he fell to the ground. The light flashed, revealing his true form, which was the size of a millstone. Crab.
"Ha ha!"
The captain's eyes turned red, and he looked up to the sky and roared, with black hair growing on his face, like a vicious wolf.
"It's indeed a monster!"
Zhang Han's hands and feet went weak, and he looked around. All his colleagues were roaring ferociously, taking on the shapes of jackals, tigers, and leopards, fighting with shrimps, soldiers, and crabs, risking their own lives. It was so bizarre that he almost thought he was dreaming.
"Ah... Haha, by the way, I must be dreaming!"
Even when Baili Xuandu was besieging the city, he had seen the chaos of a tide of beasts attacking the military formation, but at this time, Zhang Han still laughed crazily.
puff!
He threw down his spear and walked around. Suddenly, he was knocked down by a big man with tiger stripes on his forehead and bit him on the neck, causing blood to fly!
…
There was a lot of noise and chaos at the top of the city, but Fang Yuan had some free time.
"There are indeed monsters at the top of the city, but how many can you summon, Madam? Three thousand? Or five thousand? I have a total of 20,000 in the Water Tribe. Even if they are all lost here, it would not be a pity!"
At this time, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were greatly depleted. Jinting Longjun next to him turned green, but Fang Yuan laughed.
"What a cold-blooded and ruthless young gentleman!"
Demon Saint Empress looked at this scene and remained silent.
Although she has great power, she has been severely weakened by her repeated confrontations with destiny, and there are two Dragon Lords on the opposite side, which is no small matter.
"I will remember my kindness today, and I will surely be rewarded in the future!"
After a while, when she saw many demon clans being killed one after another, she finally couldn't hold back and let out a scream.
Amid the roar, a large number of demon clans were startled, and immediately retreated, turning into black energy and fleeing.
"Hey! A woman's kindness!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan sneered in his heart again.
As a general, you cannot regard the lives of your soldiers as consumables. Being indecisive at critical moments is a deviation from the right path of military affairs and will lead to a bad death.
Of course, this may be because all the fighting is done by the demon clan, not the demon queen’s original wish.
But Fang Yuan still wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
One side had many scruples and the other had no scruples. This established victory from the beginning.
"Instruct me to hunt down the remaining monsters! As for the humans who are being held hostage, just disperse them!"
Boom!
As the main force of the demon tribe retreated, the defenders on the city wall immediately retreated. Several more crab generals worked together to open the city gate, and a large number of water tribes swarmed in, which was even more devastating.
This night in Chudu was destined not to be peaceful.
The city wall screamed for death, and a large number of soldiers entered the city to hunt down and suppress the demon clan, and battles broke out sporadically.
Occasionally, some brave people would peek through the cracks in doors and windows and see many wonderful sights.
For example, tigers and leopards are running away, there is a faint black air, and there are a large number of water tribes marching on the street as if there is no one around. It is so bizarre that you may not even dream of it.
Immediately, a great scholar took notes and recorded: "On the eve of King Wu's army attacking the city, the capital of Chu was in chaos. Hundreds of ghosts were walking at night, and ten thousand demons were dancing... The people did not dare to leave their homes. In the early morning of the next day, they saw traces of traces and fishy smell in the streets and alleys of the city wall. The masterpieces are like fish, shrimps, tigers and leopards!"
"You... are so cruel!"
When Demon Saint Empress saw this, her eyes were about to burst and she almost spit out blood.
"It is better to chase down the poor bandits with bravery, and not to be a famous scholar. If heaven is sentimental, heaven will also grow old. The right path in the world is subject to vicissitudes of life!"
However, Fang Yuan ignored it and chanted in a long voice, and a bolt of lightning appeared in his hand: "Demon Queen! You resist the general trend of humanity, you should be punished!"
call out!
In the void, there was only a muffled thunder, and a flash of lightning flashed. A large amount of electric light instantly surrounded the position of the Demon Saint Empress, turning into flying swords and stabbing her at a speed as fast as lightning and flint.
puff!
Just a flash of lightning and lightning, but it seemed to burst a soap bubble.
The image of the Demon Queen exploded and completely disappeared without a trace.
"Phantom body?"
When Fang Yuan saw it, he couldn't help but his heart sank: "I prepared for a long time to confuse its mind, and then it struck this thunder strike, and it actually dodged it. This demon's cultivation is unfathomable!"
"If heaven has feelings, it will also grow old, and the right path in the world will be subject to vicissitudes of life..."
Next to him, Lord Jinting Long was chewing on these two sentences, and he became crazy for a while. After a long time, he sighed quietly: "Young Lord is a great talent, I am not as good as me!"
At this time, Fang Yuan didn't say much. Seeing that the Demon Saint Queen had been driven away, he rushed to the palace.
The Imperial Palace of Chu State.
"ah!"
The little emperor woke up from his nightmare and shouted: "Mommy! Mommy!"
"What happened to my grandson?"
At this time, there seemed to be no one in the Nine Layers Palace. The curtains were swaying, giving off a sense of cold silence that made one's hair stand on end.
A figure wearing a phoenix crown and harem slowly walked into the palace. It was the Empress Dowager who was the incarnation of the Fox Clan.
"I've met the royal grandmother!"
The little emperor was only six or seven years old, but he was very cute with red lips and white teeth. At this time, he turned over and sat up, saluting solemnly.
"Alas...my grandson..."
At this time, the Empress Dowager stepped forward and picked up the little emperor, but her eyes were a little moist: "You are not my biological grandson, but I don't know why we get along day and night and feel so close. The two previous emperors did not!"
The little emperor was stunned. He felt that the emperor's grandmother was saying something very important and he did not dare to refute.
"Alas... I was destined by my clan to completely destroy the palace in the end, and both the jade and the stone would be destroyed... But I couldn't do it!"
The Empress Dowager touched the little emperor's face with her fingernail-covered hands, and a complicated look appeared on her face: "Family relations between human beings... This is also an injustice, alas... How can a child be blamed? I have already committed so many crimes, really. I don’t want to add one more!”
"Grandma Huang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."
But the little emperor was so frightened that he cried and shouted: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!!"
Outside the main hall, there was silence, as if they were all dead people.
Hoho!
And suddenly, there was another dragon roar, with an awe-inspiring meaning.
"well… "
Seeing this, the Queen Mother just smiled sadly and took him into her arms: "Good baby, from now on, you have to rely on yourself!"
"Royal grandmother?"
The two hugged each other, and after a while, the little emperor called softly, but received no response.
He exerted a little more force, and fell down, his body stiffened, and he was already dead!
Next to the body of the Empress Dowager, another white light appeared, turning into a white fox. Looking back, there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in the hall, and the white fox immediately fell to the ground, its fur charred black. I can't live without seeing it.
"ah!!!"
Seeing this, the little emperor rolled his eyes and fainted from fright...
…
In May of the ninth year of Yong'an.
Xu Ting led a large army to surround the capital of Chu. On the second day, hundreds of civil and military officials in the city supported the Emperor of Chu and came out to surrender!
History has turned a new page here. As for other ghostly things, they are only preserved in unofficial notes and rarely recorded in official history.
In June, Xu Ren moved the court to Chudu and prepared for the abdication.
In July of the same year, perhaps due to the fatigue of traveling or being unaccustomed to the climate, Xu Ren suddenly became ill and passed away in three days. Xu Ting succeeded to the throne. In December, he ordered the young emperor to abdicate, worship heaven and ascend to the throne, establish the Kingdom of Wu, and He named Xu Ren the Great Ancestor, rewarded hundreds of officials and relevant soldiers, appointed Yuan Hongwu, and prepared for the Northern Expedition in the next spring to completely defeat the last vassal town of Chu State, unify the country, and then peek into the world.
