pinghushan
At the foot of the mountain is a large area of farmland, with houses that have been relocated in the distance and some scattered haystacks in the center.
But now, the farmland has been occupied by densely packed demon soldiers, surrounding Pinghu Mountain. However, a stone wall has been built from the mountainside to block the demon soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
"Hoo" a cold wind blew by, the sky was dark with clouds, and there were sounds of beasts. Following the sounds of beasts, the demon soldiers did not immediately launch an attack.
King Lu watched from a distance and saw that the mountain was heavily guarded. He sneered: "That day when Pei Ziyun led a thousand cavalry to charge forward, I had doubts. With my wisdom, this may not be the case."
"Now there is indeed a back-up. It looks like there are at least seven thousand."
"Moreover, there are many stone walls and trenches, and they are even more formidable than they were back then. This means we are going to run into a hedgehog. We have no choice but to fight hard."
"This is using itself as bait to attract us. Then there will be a large camp surrounding us to annihilate us."
"But judging from the movement in the camp, if we come, it will be activated. There is no movement now. It is obvious that the rumor has been spread, and the court is really doubtful - the prince is afraid of Pei Ziyun, no less than us."
"This is your Majesty's blessing." Eunuch Liao said as he bowed to the side, his eyes a little blood red.
"Huh, what a blessing. I just thought that I was at the end of my life and that no people would surrender. I was almost a bandit. That's my attitude." King Lu gave an icy smile: "I never thought that I would have to rely on the contempt of others to find a chance to survive."
Eunuch Liao listened and remained silent.
"In this case, without further delay, send troops immediately." King Lu resolutely said: "If something happens late, attack immediately!"
Following an order, the drum beat, one after another, directly into the heart of the demon soldier. The demon soldier's blood mist seeped into the body, roared, his eyes were blood red, and he was about to bite people. If it weren't for the demon emperor's military discipline, , has already rushed forward, only the demon general maintains consciousness.
"Charge!" King Lu shouted, and the demon soldiers turned into a torrent, roaring towards Pinghu Mountain. The shouts of killing resounded in the mountains and fields. The water in the stream was originally clear, but thousands of steps stepped in, and A piece of turbidity.
"Ouch!" When they rushed nearby, the demon soldiers looked up to the sky and roared. Like lightning, they rushed towards the stone wall of the hillside. A school captain remained motionless and suddenly shouted: "The crossbowmen are ready."
"Yes!" A group of archers took arrows, drew their bows, and looked at the approaching demon soldiers.
"Projection!" Many people don't understand and think that projectile has no power. In fact, it has huge damage, which is not inferior to level shooting.
Just listening to the vibrating sound of the bowstring, the sky darkened, and hundreds of arrows pierced the air. After reaching the high altitude, they turned over and fell under the inertia of the iron arrows and arrow feathers.
"Puff, puff, puff!" The arrows fell with huge inertia. The demon soldiers were all wearing leather armor. When the arrows fell, blood-red splashed everywhere.
"Ah!" A hail of arrows hit vital parts, and dozens of them fell down. Although the remaining demon soldiers screamed miserably, some of the arrows did not penetrate deeply into the flesh, but they were still wounded and bleeding.
"Shoot again!" The sound of the bowstring continued, and another batch of arrows roared out. The hillside was narrow, and the demon soldiers charged densely. Even if the missiles had a poor hit rate, demon soldiers kept hitting them.
"Poof!" A demon soldier was unlucky. He fell to the ground, covered his neck and rolled around. He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. It turned out that the tip of a dark arrow fell and happened to pierce through the gap in his neck. He was instantly killed. .
"Kill, kill." The demon general roared angrily. Even demon soldiers must obey the law of life. If they cannot resist the flying arrows, even if they are not hit in the vital parts, they will continue to bleed. The lighter ones will lose their combat effectiveness, and the more serious ones will still be injured. Bleed profusely to death.
"Ouch!" The demon soldier climbed up even harder.
"Aim and shoot!" The third time he aimed and shot, there was a sound of bow strings and a shower of arrows pounced. The power was much greater, and dozens of demon soldiers who pounced fell down in response.
"There's not much left, charge forward." The demon general shouted.
"Let go of the cannon stone!" At this time, the captain shouted again, and saw the soldiers nervously and skillfully pushing the cannon stone. The rolling stones and wood poured down like a torrential rain. The surging demon soldiers.
When they hit it on the spot, they immediately let out a miserable cry, and blood spattered. The demon soldiers immediately swept away the area, and then surged up and pounced on them fiercely.
"Kill" Pei Ziyun looked at him from a distance and looked around with a smile: "If there is no stone wall, there will be no opponent in a direct battle, but now it is a hill, even the demon soldiers will still suffer heavy casualties."
"Especially for Gunshitarimu, the effect of rolling down the mountain is better than originally thought. It rolls faster and faster, and it is attacked all the way to the end, unlike the arrow rain that only takes dozens of steps."
As he said this, he saw that the demon soldiers were agile and had some leather armor on their bodies. However, rolling stones and trees came down, and they also screamed in agony.
The sky was gloomy, but for just a moment, many demon soldiers had been killed, but they continued to attack Pinghu Mountain. There were still trees under the mountainside, but now they were all bare, and they were all knocked down.
"Roar" At this time, a demon general's body expanded, with yellow and black lines on his body. With a roar, the stone wall shook and he rushed towards the stone wall.
"shoot"
Heavy crossbows had been prepared on the stone wall. The demon general just pounced. Dozens of heavy crossbows fired at the man. He heard a puff puff puff. Even with iron armor, he still couldn't resist. Seven or eight of them were immediately inserted. Arrows and blood spurted out. The demon general didn't stop and hit the stone wall hard with a loud noise, killing him instantly.
A little demon soul flew out, but before it had time to return, it suddenly rippled and disappeared.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The demon soldiers continued to rush forward, shouting and killing like a tide. Oil cannons and rocks poured down like a torrential rain, and they were submerged under the city in waves.
The stench of blood, sweat, and broken internal organs filled the entire battlefield. The demon soldiers rushed to the stone wall. Some of them did not even need stairs and had to climb up. At this time, a large pot of boiling oil came down, and the smell of fireworks was burning. , there was steaming and screams, and the hillsides quickly turned red.
"Zhenjun, the enemy is more brave than we expected. There are falling rocks and fire oil. Our army's casualties are not large now, but the rolling oil cannons and rocks are consumed very quickly. If we fight in close combat, I am afraid we will suffer a lot of sacrifices." Looking at the battlefield, the guerrillas General Luo Yintai said with focused eyes.
"No news from the camp?" Pei Ziyun just listened with a dull face, but didn't answer, just asked.
"Yes, Zhenjun, we have passed the news to Daolu Division's stronghold, but there has been no response from the camp yet."
"Urge us to move down to the camp again." Pei Ziyun opened his eyes and said in a calm tone.
"yes!"
Luo Yintai responded, turned around and went out. After a moment, he entered the account and said, "Zhenjun, even the Daolu Division on the other side didn't respond this time. Could it be that the demonic magic has blocked it?"
Pei Ziyun sneered: "Let the pigeons go."
"Yes!" The people from Daolu Division immediately responded to the order, and the three pigeons flew out. They were originally on the mountain, flying very high, and they disappeared into the sky without seeing anyone who could shoot them down.
Although the rain was not heavy, it was covered with dark clouds and a bit foggy. Originally, the wilderness that could be seen for hundreds of miles was now blurry for more than ten miles.
But the demon soldiers continued to charge forward, shouting to kill.
Daying
All the residents in the city have moved out and have become a military camp. Soldiers are patrolling with swords and guns. The Chinese army is even more strict. A large banner stands high. A house is very simple and crude, but it has a pigeon coop. At this time, two pigeons It flew in and screamed, which was obviously a reminder.
A middle-aged man with deep cheeks took it, opened the tube on the pigeon's leg, glanced at it, sneered, and squeezed the pigeon, which was still screaming for food, and died with a scream.
The man turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he saw General Chen Yong. Chen Yong looked a lot thinner, with wrinkles carved by a knife on his dark face. At this time, he looked motionless and remained silent for a moment. Said: "What were you doing just now? What information is this?"
"Sir, there is no information." The middle-aged man in charge of intelligence said, and Chen Yong's face turned cold: "You are just an eighth-grade official, how dare you bully me like this? Bring it to me."
"Sir, there is an order from above..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yong grabbed the middle-aged man, snatched the pipe and took a look, and he was furious: "The true king has attracted the demon army, and ordered us to gather and surround him, and we should be peaceful inside and outside - this is military intelligence. , you dare to destroy the military newspaper? You are really looking for death!"
With that said, with a slap in the face, the man flew out hard. Before Chen Yong was relieved, he drew his sword and killed the middle-aged man on the spot.
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "General Chen, stop, this is what I want."
"Who?" Chen Yong shouted angrily after hearing this.
"It's me." Chen Yong looked back and trembled, feeling a chill. It turned out to be the imperial envoy Li Pan. Li Pan was wearing a third-grade official uniform and had a majestic demeanor. He felt a little uneasy and felt some intention. Zhidie asked: "Master Imperial Envoy, what do you mean? The True Lord received the emperor's order and arranged for us to prepare and support at any time. Why do you just..."
"You want to say, how dare I destroy the information." Li Pan laughed and stared at Chen Yong. Chen Yong's eyes felt like daggers, and he couldn't help but shed cold sweat.
Li Pan looked gloomy and seemed a little tired. He sighed and waved his hand: "You go down first."
The middle-aged captain couldn't help but shed cold sweat on his face, turned around and left.
"Chen Yong, you are a third-grade general. You have made many contributions on the battlefield over the years. At the end of this time, you can still be awarded a title, which is not less than an earl. I hope you will not make a mistake."
Chen Yong listened with a sullen expression, and moved his hand towards the knife. Li Pan's face turned cold: "I know you have a relationship with Zhenjun, but this is not what I mean, but what the higher-ups mean. This is a big deal. , I hope you realize this clearly, do you still dare to disobey?"
Chen Yong hesitated for a moment: "I don't believe it. I am the third-rank commander. I can directly report to the court. I want to see if it is you, Li Pan, who is trying to make an imperial edict or the court's intention!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Huh!" Seeing Chen Yong turning around to leave, Li Pan's face turned cold and he waved his hand. He saw the two soldiers behind Chen Yong. They looked at each other suddenly and one of them drew his sword instantly.
Chen Yong was alert immediately, but it was too fast. He only heard a "pop" sound, and a long knife penetrated his body, and blood spattered.
"Ah" Chen Yong screamed and fell to the ground, blood splattered. He didn't die immediately. When he saw that it was his own soldier, there was still blood on the knife.
"You...how dare you...seller..." Chen Yong pointed at the two soldiers, panting, and a bellows-like snoring sound came from his throat.
Li Pan sneered: "Chen Yong, if you dare to disobey the emperor's order, then I will have to kill you according to the order."
"I am the third-grade general soldier, Li Pan, you are jealous of the virtuous..."
Li Pan sneered and stopped listening. He made a gesture of wiping his neck and turned away. The two soldiers stepped forward: "General Chen, you are kind to us. I admire you very much. If it were normal, we would say nothing." We will betray, but our master is the court and the emperor, so we can only act according to orders."
As he spoke, the sword fell and pierced the heart again with a pop. Chen Yong's eyes widened and refused to close, but he refused to close his eyes.
"Go and follow the imperial envoy to report that the general was attacked by demon soldiers. Although we fought a bloody battle, we are still defeated - let's go!" The two soldiers wiped the knives clean and dragged the body away.
