It is very far away from Daze City, very far away. To the southwest of Daze City, tens of thousands of miles to the southwest on the edge of Daze City, on the edge of Daze State, the vast mountains and forests are shrouded in rain and fog.
Sharp whistles sounded continuously in the mountains and forests, like huge eagles roaring high in the sky.
Slender figures shuttled quickly through the forest, turning around from time to time, seemingly casually drawing the delicate short bow in their hands, and shooting an arrow into the forest behind them.
The thin arrows, shimmering with green brilliance and obviously tempered with poison, made no sound under the mountain wind. They were like flowing fish, moving lightly through the mountain forest.
The mountain forest is extremely lush, with intertwined branches and leaves. In many places, there are so many vines that even snakes and insects find it difficult to pass through.
These arrows are like living creatures, easily avoiding the trunks of ancient trees, passing through clumps of vines, avoiding leaves and branches, following smooth zigzag trajectories, accurately Shoot at your own target.
The target is the Black Phoenix Army soldiers who are wearing heavy armor and walking hard through the mountains and forests like iron pillars.
Scattered arrows kept shooting out from the mountain forest, like the fangs of poisonous snakes, always delivering fatal blows inadvertently.
Whenever arrows suddenly flew out of the rain and fog, the soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army hurriedly held up their shields in front of them.
If the reaction speed was a little slower, like those comrades lying next to them, the arrows would accurately pierce through the fragile links of their armor, such as the gaps in the movable armor near the neck.
Or he could pierce through the gaps in their visors and accurately pass through the holes in their visors.
The arrows were so powerful that the bodies of the Black Phoenix soldiers could not withstand the piercings of the arrows. As long as the arrows broke through the flesh and stained a little bit of blood, they would basically be dead.
The poison quenched on these arrows is an extremely complex mixture of toxins, made from at least two to three hundred kinds of plant poisons, mineral poisons, and biological venoms from poisonous snakes and insects.
Mixed toxins attack very quickly, and the toxic reactions are all kinds of weird. It is difficult to find a universal detoxification pill that is symptomatic and can resolve all toxins. The Black Phoenix sergeant who was hit by an arrow would twitch his body frequently, and then lose his breath.
An angry general of the Black Phoenix Army rose into the air, penetrated the dense branches and leaves above, and looked into the distance while suspended in the sky.
The mountains and forests were covered with thick green cover. Under the cover of the mountains and forests, they could not see where the slender enemies were.
The indigenous people who rule this mountain forest are a humanoid group of "wood spirits".
Their bodies and facial features are not much different from those of humans. Wood spirits and humans can even intermarry and reproduce with each other, giving birth to children smoothly.
Only Bo Jing is short and delicate. Regardless of male or female, the height is only about six feet. Moreover, they have green hair. Due to their age and cultivation, their hair has different shades of green.
Their eyes are also green. The richer the green in their eyes, the higher the purity of their blood and the stronger their strength.
Wood spirits are naturally close to the acquired power of Yimu, while those of the royal bloodline among them are naturally incompatible with the innate power of Yimu. Therefore, they are simply unsolvable existences in the mountains and forests.
They are the sons of the mountains and forests. When they run fast in the mountains and forests, even the densest thorn bushes will not hinder them, the most ferocious man-eating vines will not harm them, and the most ferocious beasts will not show their presence. Teeth, the most insidious snake will not have any intention of harming them...
They are naturally proficient in the art of wood escape. Most of them have mastered the power of hurricane derived from the power of wood. A large number of them have mastered the power of thunder derived from the power of wood. Therefore, they are proficient in spells and have amazing combat power.
They are protected by the mountains and forests, and they are treated favorably by the mountains and forests... just like the arrows they shoot.
The soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army used strong bows and crossbows in the mountains and forests. The crossbow bolts they fired would not be far away before being blocked by tree trunks, branches, vines, shrubs, and various obstacles in the mountains and forests. They could not threaten these at all. Wood essence.
The arrows shot by Bojing are like fish in the water. They will not touch these obstacles at all, but will accurately attack the vital points of the Black Phoenix soldiers.
After the Black Phoenix Army cooperated with the main force of the Divine Power Army to open up Dazezhou, they continued to develop new territory in the southwest.
As a result, they encountered these difficult wood spirits. On the edge of this mountain forest, they had been entangled with the wood spirits for more than two years. They had lost many soldiers and generals, and their losses were several times more severe than when they opened up Da Zezhou before. However, they almost failed. How many new territories have been laid.
The battle situation was stagnant, the soldiers were too injured, morale was low, and there were gradually problems with logistics and supplies.
If it weren't for the personal charm of the leader of the Black Phoenix Army, the Black Phoenix Army would have been dragged to pieces.
Outside the forest, on a plain, in a large newly opened field, a few sparse figures were struggling to clear weeds and take care of the crops.
Next to the field, a fairly small military camp stood there. The wall was made of wood and wood several feet high. There was an archery tower every twenty feet. On the wall, a soldier of the Black Phoenix Army stood tall and straight. , looking around energetically.
There are only two gates in the military camp, the north and the south. At this moment, two 30-foot-long building boats were passing by at low altitude, flying towards the south gate.
The surface of the building ship was dim, and the light curtain emitted by the defensive restrictions was flickering. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the internal power core, or there was a lack of enough energy crystals, and the energy supply required for the formation of the building ship was insufficient.
Without enough energy, although the two tower ships could still fly, they could only travel at a low altitude of less than a hundred feet.
On the deck of the building ship, there were hundreds of corpses neatly stacked, and hundreds of wounded soldiers sat beside them dejectedly.
The soldiers injured by the poisoned arrows were undoubtedly dead.
And these wounded soldiers were injured in Bojing's surprise attack.
The wood spirits are proficient in wood spells, such as wind knives and thunder spells, and can drive all kinds of weird flowers and plants to launch attacks. There are also some ancient trees that have a long history and are almost out of shape and are driven by them to join the attack. There are also a large number of coordinated attacks from beasts, pythons, giant snakes, poisonous snakes and the like.
Fortunately, the wood spirits don't like bloody fights at close range. They prefer to use bows and arrows to attack enemies from a distance.
Otherwise, there would not be only these hundreds of wounded soldiers on the building ship.
A low horn sound sounded in the military camp, and a few wisps of black air like flags looming over the military camp moved to the left and right, making way for a path. Two high-rise ships flew into the military camp through the passage cleared by the black air, and slowly Stopped slowly at the west side of the military camp.
The center of the camp is located in a large wooden palace. The palace covers an area of several acres and is made of logs. The logs are as thick as water tanks and their bark has not even been scraped off. The magic structure is so crudely used to create the structure. Together, they form this barbaric palace.
Groups of elite warriors wearing heavy armor patrolled around the hall, and there were a large number of fixed sentries scattered around.
There are some radical guys among the wood spirits. In the past two years, near the center of the Black Phoenix Army, the top brass of the Black Phoenix Army have been violently attacked and killed by more than a dozen waves. Even several generals of the Black Phoenix Army All were seriously injured.
Because of Bo Jing's violent assassination, the Black Phoenix Army was forced to buy a powerful defensive formation, which was a flag-shaped black air suspended in the sky. This formation covered the entire camp, effectively avoiding the harassment of the wood spirits and causing huge damage to the wood spirits who were later assassinated.
But just because of the purchase of this defensive formation... the economic situation of the entire Black Phoenix Army is very worrying at the moment.
"Military Lord, it's useless for you to beat me to death..." Because of the rain, the sky was gloomy and the light was very bad, but the hall was brightly illuminated by animal oil torches. The master responsible for the logistics management of the Black Phoenix Army He opened his hands and looked helplessly at Pei Feng, the leader of the Black Phoenix Army.
"The food and grass supplies can still last for three days, but all kinds of military medicine powder pills, various elixirs, etc. are completely empty." Wearing a green cloth gown that was almost turning white after washing, with a nondescript piece of clothing on the upper body The owner of Thick Breastplate let out a long sigh.
"There is still a lot of gold, silver, and the jade, gemstones and other items mined these days. They are piled up in three warehouses."
"But these things are useless if they can't buy supplies."
The Lord sighed heavily again: "Since we offended Sima Lang, no matter how much money we have, we can't buy a grain, a pill, an arrow, or a sword from the Shenwei Army. …”
He is tall and tall, half a head taller than an ordinary man. His body is slender and strong, his facial features are extremely three-dimensional, with sharp eyebrows, thin lips, and a high bridge of nose. His skin color is extremely white, his hair color is extremely black, and his lips are extremely rosy. The contrast between black, white and red It is extremely bright and gives people a strong visual impact. The extremely beautiful Pei Feng sits quietly behind a large table, with a pair of extremely smart beautiful eyes full of chill.
Pei Feng, the female leader of the Black Phoenix Army.
Wearing a black battle robe, black phoenix feather chain armor, and a large blood-colored cloak, Pei Feng sat there quietly with his hair combed into a high bun like a man's, with a blood-colored hair rope tightly held upright. , like a solidified black flame.
In the huge hall, dozens of senior officers of the Black Phoenix Army looked gloomy and said nothing. Everyone looked at Pei Feng helplessly.
These generals of the Black Phoenix Army are all good at fighting and killing.
But when it comes to asking them to make a living, earn property, and coordinate the logistics of an army... they really don't have the ability.
They have been fighting and killing all their lives. They have been fighting with Pei Feng's dead father their whole lives. They have only learned to fight in this life.
When Pei Feng's father was still here, they never had to worry about logistics or other things.
At that time, they wore bright clothes and angry horses, had a lot of gold in their pockets, drank the strongest wine, rode the strongest horses, hugged the most beautiful women, and killed the most difficult enemies. With the knives in their hands, the swords in their hands, and their own sweat and blood, under the leadership of Pei Feng's father, they forcibly defeated a down-and-out general who was about to be expelled from the Jin army to win the title of first-rank official. of knighthood.
Pei Feng's father was their military leader, their eldest brother, their benefactor, and the person they loyal to with their lives and souls.
Therefore, they continue to serve Pei Feng with their lives and souls.
But... Pei Feng is not her father after all.
Even compared to young people of the same age in the Great Jin Divine Kingdom, Pei Feng is already a monster, but after all, she is too young and lacks experience. She had grown a lot in the past few years in the Black Phoenix Army, but it was still not enough.
Therefore, the once brilliant armor on these generals gradually lost its brilliance.
Their once neat and brand-new shirts and capes also had holes and patches in inconspicuous places.
They used to be able to eat the elixirs used to assist cultivation as snacks and candies, but now, any elixir is extremely precious to them.
The Black Phoenix Army, which once had an army of millions, has only been reduced to less than half after these years. Moreover, the remaining half of the soldiers are not as good as the elite army that looked at them in the past, both in terms of cultivation and combat power. .
Does this Black Phoenix Army still have 10% of its combat strength at its peak
I don’t know, no one knows, no one wants to think about it, no one dares to think about it.
The terrible thing is that after more than two years of entanglement with Bojing, the Black Phoenix Army is still losing blood.
"Food, how about harvesting the crops outside in advance?" A black-skinned man nearly three meters tall and extremely strong made his suggestion.
"Uncle Ma, only mature crops can be eaten by people... Today's crops can only be regarded as grass, which is for livestock to eat." Pei Feng squinted and rubbed his temples with the index finger of his right hand.
"Poor!" Pei Feng sighed, pointed at the many generals of the Black Phoenix Army present and murmured: "I see that all uncles' faces seem to have a big word 'poor' carved on them with an axe!"
"I can tell without looking in the mirror, even on my face."
"Hey, where can we go to make a windfall?" Pei Feng murmured to himself: "Where can we go to make a windfall... How about we kidnap Sima Lang and blackmail him?"
The people in the hall remained silent.
Blackmailing Sima Lang
That guy is a general in the Shenwei Army, with the rank of a first-class general, and his status is equivalent to Jiang Hu, the former right battalion commander of the Shenwei Army. However, the establishment of the Shenwei Army is there. He also has the rank of a first-class general, and Sima Lang directly controls dozens of times the army. With Jiang Hu, the auxiliary army indirectly affected was a hundred times that of Jiang Hu's direct troops...
Not to mention, Sima Lang is a serious member of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty. He is also the crown prince of the "cang" king of the Jin Dynasty. He is one of the most competitive successors to the future master of the Shenwei Palace.
Such a person kidnaps him
Do you know how many expert guards he has around him
To Sima Lang, the Black Phoenix Army was just an ant that could be stabbed to death with one finger, nothing more.
Rapid footsteps came in, and a Black Phoenix military captain came to the door of the hall with an excited face and shouted loudly: "Military leader, there is a message from Mr. Qian San... Big fat sheep, hehe, big fat sheep Hey sheep!”
Pei Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. She stood up slowly, pressed her hands on the long case, and said in a deep voice: "Give me the details. Is it true that Sima Lang sent people to Da Zezhou again? Ha, What idiot did he send here again this time?"
"Well, the person sent this time is a state army general..." The captain entered the hall and said hesitantly: "The guy's name is Huo Xiong. It is said that he is from the Shenwu Army. I don't know why. He was actually transferred directly from the Shenwu Army to Dazezhou."
"From the Shenwu Army?" Pei Feng and all the generals in the hall were stunned.
The black-skinned man, Uncle Ma, suddenly cursed: "Military leader, who cares about the Shenwei Army and the Shenwu Army, are there any good people who can come to Da Zezhou? According to my opinion, I will do the same as before!"
Pei Feng hesitated for a moment and frowned: "From the Shenwu Army? No... This time, I will go back and see for myself. We have already offended Sima Lang, if we provoke the Shenwu Army again..."
Pei Feng shook his head: "Let me see what kind of person this Huo Xiong is."
