The fighting lasted until seven in the morning and then gradually subsided.
Dayu's army suffered a total of more than 13,000 casualties in the battle, and nearly half of them died under the sword of Daya Xingchen. Fortunately, the saint took action in time to kill him, otherwise if he had killed him a few more times, the number of casualties would have been greater.
It will definitely increase exponentially.
Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa were seriously injured. They each had one or two serious stab wounds. Although they were not fatal, they were invaded by the power of the stars and were unconscious until noon when they woke up one after another.
The two men and other wounded soldiers were left in Jincheng, and the large army marched southward non-stop after a short period of repair.
"I'm awake. How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Seeing Zhang Xiaozu opening his eyes and waking up, Zhou Jianlai, who had been guarding the two of them, asked.
He did not leave with the army, but chose to stay and take care of Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa, because the assassination incident in Baiyun City made him uneasy, and he was afraid that someone would take this opportunity to kill them.
"It's okay." Zhang Xiaozu sat up, glanced around, and found a room with quilts on the floor. He and Niu Dawa were lying on it. Niu Dawa hadn't woken up yet. Thinking back to the scene before his coma last night,
Without shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he asked Zhou Jianlai: "Brother Zhou, how long have Dawa and I been unconscious? Where are we?"
Zhou Jian came back and said: "You have been unconscious for more than three hours. This is an empty house on a street in Jincheng. This street has been cleared out as a temporary place to place wounded soldiers. The army has gone south and has been walking for two hours.
Already."
"Damn, have you slept for so long?" Niu Dawa's voice sounded next to him, and he also woke up.
"You two's injuries are not serious. I bandaged your wounds and they should be almost healed now. The reason why you were unconscious for so long is because your body was invaded by the power of the stars, which is very slow to resolve. I think you two are very lucky.
, if he had been hit in the middle by that knife, he would have been in serious danger." Zhou Jianlai said.
Thinking back to the sword strike last night, both of them couldn't help but shudder and have lingering fears. They were only hit by the residual power of the sword energy, and they were injured and comatose for more than three hours. If they were hit in the middle by the sword energy, they would definitely die.
This made them feel very sad for a while.
They thought they already had some abilities. Who would have thought that they would be so weak as ants in front of the Star Power? Thousands of steps away, the Star Power could strike at them with one strike and use only the remaining power of the sword to defeat them.
They were devastated and lost their armor, which gave them a deep sense of frustration and powerlessness.
"Where is that powerful star?" Zhang Xiaozu asked curiously.
"The saint took action and killed him." Zhou Jianlai responded and told the two of them the scene at that time: "The golden light of sacred majesty illuminated the night sky, and a flying sword came from the sky, as if it came from the ancient wilderness. In an instant,
Right before our eyes, a sword pierced the head of the star power, and then disappeared into the void."
"Below the saints, all are ants, vulnerable to a single blow!" Zhou Jian said with deep emotion after finishing speaking.
"Damn! Missed a wonderful show!" Niu Dawa yelled, slapping her legs in frustration.
"What a pity, what a pity!" Zhang Xiaozu also shook his head with regret.
Zhou Jianlai said solemnly: "The next step is a tough battle that will never end. I'm afraid Big Ya's star power will take action again. We must be extremely careful."
After filling their stomachs, the three of them set off immediately and caught up with the main force at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The Daya people's million-strong army was just ahead. The army did not dare to advance rashly, so they slowed down their march. At the same time, they sent out a large number of scouts, and the reconnaissance range was fan-shaped and covered thirty miles ahead.
…
As night falls, the earth returns to tranquility.
However, for Jincheng and Haoyue City, there is not much difference between day and night, they are both completely silent.
Cities, states, prefectures, and counties were all swept away and slaughtered by big-toothed dogs, turning them into dead cities without any living people.
At ten o'clock at night, most of the more than 2,000 wounded soldiers staying in Jincheng had gone to bed. The 500-person team responsible for protecting the wounded soldiers, except those on guard duty, had also gone to bed.
No one noticed that in this dead city, shadows were quietly coming out of the houses. Two of them, three of them, ten, a hundred of them - more and more, and finally they gathered into a group of five.
A team of six thousand people.
Several shadows quietly walked towards the sentry under the cover of night, appeared behind the men on guard like ghosts, and slit their throats with sharp daggers.
Without the sentry, there would be no eyes in the dark night.
Thousands of people quietly invaded the streets, sneaked into courtyards, quietly entered rooms, and committed violent acts.
Half an hour later, these five or six thousand people, wearing the armor of Dayu's army and carrying some armor ripped off from the fallen Yu's soldiers on their backs, exited the south gate of Jincheng and disappeared into the night.
…
On June 16, the army entered the boundaries of Yancheng.
Surprisingly, we did not encounter any sneak attacks or harassment from the Big Tooth Army along the way.
On June 17, the army arrived at Ezhou, Yancheng. Instead of continuing to advance, they set up camp in Ezhou City, preparing to use Ezhou City as a rear base to advance, attack, retreat and defend.
Chuanzhou, sixty miles ahead, is the base of Daya Army.
It can be said that the army has reached the rear of Daya Army, and the distance of sixty miles is definitely not a safe distance. If Daya Army abandons Yancheng and pounces on them, the battle will be very tragic.
However, if the Daya Army abandons Yancheng and counterattacks, then his plan to attack Yancheng this time will basically fail. Because attacking Yancheng requires the most effort, and once he is discouraged in the middle, all previous efforts will be in vain.
…
Under Yancheng City, corpses piled up, blood flowed across the walls, and the dry ground was already soaked several feet deep with blood.
The two city gates of North Ten City and North Nine City have been breached.
Shout out to kill Zhentian.
The crazy attack of the Big Tooth Army continues.
At the same time, the gates of the Southern Ten Cities, the Southern Nine Cities, the Southern Eight Cities, and the Three Cities were breached, and Wei Guangfu's million rebels were also attacking frantically.
Fortunately, Yancheng has many walls, otherwise Yancheng would have fallen long ago.
Qiu Zhan put his main force on the defense of the North City Gate, and only allocated 150,000 troops to defend against the rebel attack.
In Yancheng, in the commander's tent, Qiu Zhan's face was haggard, and his sunken eyes were already covered with cobweb-like bloodshot eyes. He had not had a good night's sleep for more than half a month. The armor on him had been worn since the rebels attacked the city.
, and never took it off.
Night falls.
Listening to the cries of killing that never stopped, Qiu Zhan smiled bitterly, knowing that tonight would be another sleepless night.
The double-sided attack by the Daya Army and the rebels, as well as the crazy suicidal attack, made him feel the pressure. He was no longer sure how long Yancheng could be defended, maybe ten days, maybe half a month, in short it wouldn't be too long.
A shadow flashed into the tent.
"Who?!" Qiu Zhan grabbed the sharp sword lying beside his knees, stared at the black-turbaned masked man who came in and shouted sharply.
"I was ordered by the King of Zhennan to convey the army to the prince." The visitor said in a low voice. As he spoke, he pulled off the scarf on his face, looked at Qiu Zhan and said with a smile: "Boy, I haven't seen you for decades, and you have become a general.
Not bad."
"De, Brother Deshun!" Qiu Zhan's eyes widened, with a look of shock and surprise on his face. He stared at the visitor and shouted in surprise, "Oh my god, what, how did you come to Yancheng?!"
"I went on an expedition with the prince and was ordered to deliver a message to you." The visitor responded with a smile.
There was only one person under King Zhennan who could climb over the wall of Yancheng and sneak into the city during the battle, and then sneak into the commander's camp quietly, and that was his old servant Wu Shun.
The visitor was none other than Woodshun.
"Did the prince take charge of the expedition himself?!" Qiu Zhan asked in shock.
"Haha, your majesty is still as powerful as before. He led an army to capture Haoyue City and Jincheng one after another. Now he has set up camp in Yanbei Ezhou, taking advantage of Big Toothed Dog." Wu Shun said.
"Okay! Great!" Qiu Zhan jumped up happily when he heard this. The reinforcements he had been calling for finally arrived, and asked: "I wonder what the prince's orders are?"
"Attack from both sides and destroy the big-toothed dog!"
"Big Tooth Dog still has one million troops, so it might not be easy to eat them all in one bite." Qiu Zhan frowned.
"Fighting is never an easy job," Woodshun said.
"Okay, just fuck that bitch. Son of a bitch! The soldiers in the southern border have never been timid. Wait until I take care of the big-toothed dog and then turn around and fuck the rebels." Qiu Zhan made a decision with a punch.
"We will send you a signal as soon as Sichuan Province is broken. At that time, you must hold back the enemy's siege troops and not give them a chance to counterattack us. In addition, you must be very careful and watch out for the final madness of the big-toothed dog."
"clear!"
"You are a general. You must know better than me how to cooperate with us. I won't do stupid things like a layman giving advice to an expert. That's all right. I'll leave after you bring the news."
"After I kill the big-toothed dog, I'll treat my eldest brother to a nice meal." Qiu Zhan said with a smile.
"It's a deal!" Wood put on his scarf and walked out of the tent, disappearing into the night.
The streets and alleys of Beibacheng were filled with people, and the sound of wailing could not be heard.
A plague is spreading in the city. The infected people will itch unbearably at first, and then the skin will turn dark purple, and then the pores will slowly grow red hair. The person will become limp and weak, have difficulty breathing, and die from internal organ failure in three to five days.
.If the body is not destroyed in time after death, it will turn into a soulless red-haired monster that will pounce on and bite people when it sees it.
The plague has broken out in the city for ten days, and now thousands of people are dying every day.
Qi Wuwei knew that this was not a plague, but a corpse poison.
He also knows that there is a person who can detoxify this corpse, but he has no idea where this person is now, whether he is alive or dead, and there is no way to find him.
The people in Yaowang Valley have been studying poisons to detoxify corpses, but there has been no progress in ten days.
"Sir!" Qu Kai rushed into Qi Wuwei's study in a hurry, startling Qi Wuwei who was frowning sadly.
"What, have the people in Yaowang Valley developed a medicine to detoxify corpses?" Qi Wuwei looked at Qu Kai who came in and asked expectantly.
Unfortunately, Qu Kai immediately poured a basin of cold water on it, shook his head and replied: "No."
"Then why are you so angry?" Qi Wuwei asked depressedly.
"Corpse poison has appeared in all seven cities in the north, six cities in the north, seven cities in the south, and six cities in the south."
After listening to Qu Kai's report, Qi Wuwei felt dizzy and felt like he had been hit on the head with a stick.
