It was probably because of excessive anxiety these days. After returning to the cabin, Chu Yuan was forced to take a hot bath and then lay down on the bed. The sleepiness struck, and he fell asleep after a while.
Duan Baiyue accompanied him for a while. Seeing that he seemed to have fallen asleep, he exited the door lightly, and waved the people from the Southwest Mansion to guard him here with Duan Yao, and got off the boat to find Ye Jin. As soon as he got to the beach, he saw Shen Qianfeng tearing down the roof.
"It really doesn't work, otherwise it stinks." Zhang Mingrui's face was pale and angry.
Duan Baiyue comforted: "If you can't persist, I can go to lecture with Ye Gu."
"No, no." Zhang Mingrui shook his head repeatedly, "The opportunity is rare, no matter how big the difficulty is." As he said that, he covered his mouth with a cloth and hurried over. Duan Baiyue shook his head with a smile, and followed him to see what happened.
After the roof was lifted, the smell of the house dissipated a lot. Duan Baiyue said: "Why don't you just carry it out?"
"Before I find out what it is, it's better to hide it." Ye Jin said, "I sent all the officers and soldiers around. If there is anything tricky, the poison will not spread with the wind."
"Have you checked it out now?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Ye Jin used a small tweezers to squeeze out a thin nematode from the top of the corpse's head.
Duan Baiyue frowned: "Zombie?"
"Yeah." Ye Jin nodded, "This is because the refining failed, and the Gu worm will not move even after death, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Looking at the color of the remaining skin on the palm, 80% of the body was originally poisoned, but it was a pity that it was soaked in sea water. It's been too long, and I can't see what it is, if you encounter it in future battles, you have to be very careful about this."
Zhang Mingrui stood aside and listened to what he said in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but admire him.
"Burn it." Ye Jin said, "It's useless."
Shen Qianfeng lit a fire and burned the body clean.
The next morning, Chu Yuan opened his eyes and turned to look at the people around him: "How's it going?"
"I thought you would ask last night. It seems that I slept soundly." Duan Baiyue put the palm of his hand on his forehead and explained the matter in general.
"It's not much different from our original guess." Chu Yuan said, "Since so many corpses have been pulled out to sea, it is the most reasonable explanation to use it to refine the army, otherwise it can't be because of a lack of ancestors and to build a grave come to worship."
Duan Baiyue laughed: "I'm poor in learning, it seems that I will speak more restrained in front of you in the future."
"Just tell the truth." Chu Yuan pushed aside the quilt and sat up, "How's it going outside?"
"The army is ready and will go to sea in half an hour." Duan Baiyue said, "If you are too lazy to move, you can lie down for a while."
Chu Yuan shook his head: "Let's go, let's take a look outside together."
"Be careful!" Someone outside exclaimed.
An iron spear about a foot long penetrated the door panel and nailed it straight to the post.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Nanmo's evil spirit flew away, and he didn't care about anything else, he pushed the door open and rushed in.
"What are you doing?" Duan Baiyue supported him and glanced outside.
"It's okay." Nan Moxie breathed a sigh of relief, it's fine.
Chu Yuan stood beside the bed and asked suspiciously, "What happened?"
Nan Moye: "..."
In fact, the matter is very simple. When I woke up this morning, the old man Mu Chi was studying the batch of ghost wooden boxes that he had made. Nan Moxie went to join in the fun when he saw it. The hidden weapon shot out.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Nan Moxie bowed his head, stood in front of his apprentice honestly, and said, "Master knows it's wrong."
"It's okay." Chu Yuan put on his robe, "It's just a mistake, senior doesn't have to blame himself."
Nan Moye said with tears flashing: "Well." It's better to be the disciple's daughter-in-law.
Duan Baiyue patted his shoulder, his brain hurts.
"This little box is amazing." Chu Yuan took it from Nan Moxie, "Not to mention its power, after shooting through three people, it can still spin on its own. One kill is a big piece."
"So sinister?" Nan Moxie was startled.
"That's why I have been having a headache. How to deal with it when I encounter it on the battlefield in the future." Chu Yuan sighed, "Although the number of ghost wooden boxes in Da Chu is several times that of the rebels, once this thing is opened, there will be casualties. Even winning is costly."
Nan Moxie bared his teeth when he heard it, saying that he was a carpenter's master, and he taught my little apprentice how to make tables, chairs, benches, pots, lids, and buckets, but he closed his door and ordered these things.
"Your Majesty." Xue Huaiyue said at the door, "It's time to set off."
"Let's go." Duan Baiyue took the ghost wood box away from him, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the soil. After so many battles have been won, this one can also be won."
Chu Yuan took a deep breath, stood up and held his hand: "Well."
Nan Moxie and Si Xi folded their sleeves together, smiling and watching the two go out side by side, relaxed and happy.
Unlike a few years ago, the sea around the star continent is no longer dark blue, but a layer of strange gray and black. Even the sky above the island was a little foggy, and the whole area seemed to be covered by a large cloud of flowing black clouds. Just looking at it made me depressed.
A big phoenix spread its wings and circled, taking Duan Baiyue into the sky, rushing towards the direction of the Xingzhou Island Group. It's just that although it has already reached the sky above, it is full of black-gray fog below, and I can't see anything. The other two phoenixes rolled over from low altitude, and the strong wind brought by the huge wings dispelled the thick fog for a moment, but before Duan Baiyue could see it clearly, there was a thicker fog condensing and sticking together, which covered it more tightly. some.
"Go back first." Duan Baiyue patted its neck.
The big phoenix let out a long cry of displeasure, turned and flew back to the direction of the Chu army camp.
"How is it?" Chu Yuan asked.
"I can't see what it is, the fog is too heavy." Duan Baiyue shook his head. "But it doesn't look like there is a fleet on the sea. I don't know what the hell is going on this time."
"Your Majesty." Xue Huaiyue said aside, "What should we do next?" Originally, he planned to find out the situation on the island before making a decision. But now it's a mess, so be careful.
Chu Yuan asked back, "What do you think?"
Xue Huaiyue was stunned for a moment, looked up at Chu Yuan slightly, but lowered his head again very quickly: "The last general is stupid, please ask the emperor to make it clear."
Chu Yuan smiled, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Don't be nervous, I'm really asking you, but I don't mean anything else."
Xue Huaiyue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He knew Chu Yuan's temper, and this sentence was a reassurance, so he said: "Although the situation on the island is unknown, it may be dangerous to rush in. But staying here is the last resort. The lord has said before that Xingzhou has already started farming and raising pigs by himself, and there are still several sources of living water, even if we completely encircle this island, we will not be able to cut off the other party's food and grass, so we can only fight."
Chu Yuan nodded: "How to fight?"
Xue Huaiyue said: "According to the last general's opinion, it is better to send three thousand fishtail troops to lead the way. If there is an abnormal situation, you don't have to force it, just withdraw quickly."
Chu Yuan laughed loudly: "This is the last battle, you are going to withdraw from the first confrontation?"
Zhuo Yunhe listened to the side with a guilty conscience, this general is also true, and he didn't say anything to boost the morale of the army.
Xue Huaiyue paused for a while, but still insisted: "The last general thought he didn't know the details of the opponent, so he didn't have to fight recklessly. Besides, the fishtail army was originally used for exploring the way, and the boating speed was extremely fast, but it was not good at fighting. Qianxuan Yiwei is in an ambush, and if the opponent comes after him, there will be ghost wooden boxes and swords at a distance, and mines at a distance, so that our army’s casualties will be minimized.”
Zhang Mingrui was listening and asked the old military doctor next to him in a low voice, "Why can't we just let Xuan Yiwei go to explore the way?"
Before the old military doctor could speak, Ye Jin said: "Xuanyiwei is the most sophisticated team. There are a lot of hidden weapons on board, and they can't paddle too fast. It would be too overkill for them to explore the way."
Zhang Mingrui was still puzzled, and he frowned and dared not ask again, since Xuanyiwei was going to fight, what is the difference between letting the Fishtail Army invite him to fight again, and going up to fight directly
The old military doctor pinched him secretly, motioning not to say more, until Ye Jin left and there was no one around, then he whispered: "What you said is only one situation, there is another kind, if the enemy army encountered in front of you is too strong It’s amazing, whoever takes the lead is equivalent to dying, so naturally the fishtail army must go up first, and if they can’t escape, they will block it with their lives, so as to buy more time for the army behind.”
Zhang Mingrui seemed to understand, but he stammered and asked, "Isn't there a half chance that the fishtail army will go and never return?"
The old military doctor stood up straight: "Look at those fishtail soldiers, are there any unwillingness on their faces?"
Zhang Mingrui shook his head.
"It's all human, and who doesn't want to live." The old army doctor said, "It's just like this in military combat, someone has to pave the way with blood. Your role and my role is to make the blood less, grab one from the King of Hell and count it as one. "
Zhang Mingrui said, "I understand."
The old military doctor coughed twice and continued to go back to the cabin to sort out the medicine bag. The Fishtail Army had already sailed away, Zhang Mingrui glanced at it, and turned to run to help. He previously thought that he was not afraid of death, but now that he thinks about it, if he were the Fishtail Army, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to go there so generously. It is inevitable that I feel guilty, and I secretly hope that I will meet a bunch of sloppy enemy troops. It is best that the soldiers of the Great Chu can return with a great victory without any casualties.
"You will be in charge of this battle," Chu Yuan said.
Xue Huaiyue was a little surprised: "Your Majesty?"
"I've been pressed all the way, and everything has to be played. I'm afraid you've long been suffocated." Chu Yuan said, "This last battle is very important. I listen to you, and everyone listens to you."
Xue Huaiyue lowered his head: "...Yes."
"Go." Chu Yuan said, "Fight a beautiful battle, and show those in the DPRK who disagree with you how thoroughly they were wrong."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xue Huaiyue clasped his fists, turned around and strode up to the point of command.
Duan Baiyue asked: "Let go?"
Chu Yuan smiled and said: "He was good at everything before, but he was too fond of soldiers, so he was indecisive, but this way, his problems have been almost corrected, and there will be no problem with this battle. "
"So you and I are going back to sleep?" Duan Baiyue teased him.
Chu Yuan kicked him and led people to the observation deck. From a distance, he saw the three thousand fishtail soldiers driving their boats, disappearing and appearing in the vast black fog, and moving forward quickly.
"Brother." After a while, Duan Yao passed by and wondered, "Sister-in-law is above, what are you doing standing here alone?"
"Do you recognize this worm?" Duan Baiyue opened the box.
Duan Yao glanced at it: "They are all dead. This is not the worm that Ye Guzhu pulled out of the corpse. I have seen it once, but I don't know what it is."
"I don't even recognize Master." Duan Baiyue said, "Then only next time I catch a zombie and come back and see what it is."
While the two were talking, a horn sounded from the front, which was a signal for the Fishtail Army to quickly withdraw.
"Honey." Si Kongrui also followed the Yuwei Army to join in the fun, and after seeing the situation not far away, he said badly. On the sea in front of them, hundreds of thousands of pitch-black coffins with no tops floated neatly, and there were people lying in each of them. Because of the fog cover, and not as conspicuous as the ship, it was not discovered by the fishtail army until the distance was very close.
A big black bird swept across the sea, and finally stopped motionless in mid-air, looking a little weird. Sikong Rui rubbed his eyes, just now he realized that there was a large ship parked in the fog.
The Fishtail Army quickly retreated to the rear of the Xuanyi Guards, and Zhuo Yunhe said loudly, "Prepare to throw the car!"
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Sanlei couldn't wait. Where did he need a wooden frame, he grabbed the mine with both hands, ignited the lead, and threw it in the air. It exploded in the coffin group, and rushed countless corpses into the air. , and fell back into the water with a thud.
"Mother." Sikong Rui said in shock, "Can you stand up again?"
A dark hand clings to a broken wooden board, and the stiff feet are pulled out of the water. In the blink of an eye, the corpses that fell into the water stood upright on the wooden board. With a flash of cold light in their hands, it was the ghost wooden box.
The old man Mu Chi watched from a distance, his palms almost sweating. This is his heart disease. If Da Chu loses because of this, then he can only apologize with death, but even so, he will not be able to exchange the lives of hundreds of young people, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to go to the underworld.
Nan Moxie rarely quarreled with him, but said, "Don't worry, I can't lose."
"Stop!" Zhuo Yunhe yelled at Wu Sanlei, then turned around and said, "Use the ghost wood box!"
Wu Sanlei was startled, and quickly put the mine back in his hand. Xuanyiwei also changed a group of people. After the ghost wood box mechanism was opened, hundreds of bows and crossbows shone with cold light, and passed through the chests of the zombies.
Duan Baiyue frowned. These zombies seem to be alive when they meet water, and now they are too close to use mines. They can only use swords and ghost wood boxes, but the other party has no pain. Can continue to fight. Chu Jun is a real person. If he keeps going so hard, he will lose 80% of the time.
