Literary scholar's appetite was much greater than that of ordinary people, not to mention that Cui Xiao had been hungry for two days, his intestines were burning with hunger, and his eyes were green. He swept up the food that was brought to him with a wind and wind, and casually
Chew it twice and then swallow it, which is completely opposite to your usual slow eating habit.
I'm afraid that my chopsticks will be slow and I won't be able to pick up the food.
Qi Shan and others watched in silence as he finished two buckets of wheat rice.
"Are you really that hungry?"
"I almost starved to death, what do you think?"
Cui Xiao almost had a heart attack when asked by Qi Shan.
Does this guy know how he came here these days?
He was unconscious on the battlefield for half a day with all his injuries.
During this period, I woke up and fell into a coma, fell into a coma and woke up again.
The soldiers cleaning the battlefield didn't notice his presence, and heartless people like Qi Yuanliang also forgot that he was there.
Cui Xiao lay in the ruins and waited and waited, but could not find the person who found him. In desperation, he could only grit his teeth and endure the severe pain in his meridians to temper the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and then use the tempered Wen Qi to restore the critical injuries.
He regained his ability to move. In the first two days, Cui Xiao screamed at the top of his lungs, but no one paid attention to him. He tried to catch people but missed them. He watched helplessly as his hands passed through living things. Fortunately, other dead things could still touch him, so he went to hurt them.
I rummaged through the barracks to find some bandages and medicine to treat my wounds and get through the worst days of backlash.
As his condition recovers, he can encounter living creatures.
You can successfully remind the other person of your existence by grabbing someone, but unfortunately, this sense of presence lasts only for a short time. Cui Xiao once asked the soldier to help him get some food, and the soldier promised to do it in person, but when he turned his head, he was confused and scratched his head and forgot.
What's going on?
Cui Xiao:【……】
To this day, he can still feel his presence when he opens his mouth.
As for whether his colleagues could see his face and what the face looked like, Cui Xiao didn't have the energy to care. Looking back on the experience of the past few days, he didn't want to experience it again in his life. If he died in battle, his bones would be covered with maggots.
He was found dead.
Cui Xiao finished the third bucket of wheat rice and drank half the bucket of broth.
He exclaimed with satisfaction: "The world is delicious."
If he hadn't been a little full, he could have continued eating.
As soon as she raised her head, she met Shen Tang's piercing almond eyes. She suddenly remembered that she had seen the way she was reincarnated as a hungry ghost. She blushed slightly and said, "Ahem, why are you looking at me like this?"
Shen Tang acted cautiously: "Of course I am afraid that I will ignore you if I remove my eyes. Shanxiao, your state is too dangerous."
What just happened was obviously abnormal.
In the past, even if others didn't notice, Shen Tang could always see him at a glance, but just now it wasn't until Cui Xiao took the initiative to speak that she was aware of his presence. In addition to her, there were Gong Xiqiu and Jimo Qiu! Gong Xi
Qiu also gained a part of the courage totem ability, which means he doesn't rely on sight at all to see people. This means that Cui Xiao's sense of presence is as low as air!
A lower sense of presence on weekdays does not affect normal life.
There are exceptions to everything, not to mention Cui Xiao going to the battlefield.
Cui Xiaodao: "Every gain must come with a loss."
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
This scribe's way is very tricky at times, but on the battlefield, especially when marching, it is a magical skill. Cui Xiao can only comfort himself, as a human being, you can't have both.
Shen Tang disagreed: "You are a literary scholar."
You have your cake and eat it, you want both!
Cui Xiao touched his beard that he had not had time to take care of for several days, and said helplessly: "Yes, maybe the way of perfecting the scribes can eradicate this shortcoming, but the perfecting ceremony also depends on the right time, place and people..."
His luck has never been very good.
Seeing the uncontrollable sadness on Shen Tang's eyebrows, Cui Xiao could only avoid the important matter and change the subject. The way of a scholar is not to say that perfection can be achieved. There is no need to rush this matter. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Shen Tang let out the turbid air in his chest and could only comfort himself by saying, "It's a bit miserable for the three of them, but luckily they are all alive."
"I know that Wu Zhaode divided his forces to attack the south, but judging from the intelligence, this elite group should not be enough to cause you such a headache, let alone torment you into this kind of virtue. Could it be that Cheng Yaojin came out of nowhere?" This is also the case. What confused Shen Tang the most was that the Wenxin Scholars had limited influence and could not decide a duel with a huge disparity in military strength. However, when the difference in strength between the two sides was not large, a powerful Wenxin Scholar could definitely make the final decision!
The three of Qi Shan can definitely be called "powerful". Yun Ce is also present as a top combat force. The general Supervisor led by Bei Jiu is a trump card that cannot be underestimated! They command troops and horses, guard high walls and use sharp weapons. Being a city defender has great advantages!
Even if we didn't hold on in the end, we wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Shen Tang does not doubt their abilities.
Considering that the Gods Association and other national forces frequently intervened, Shen Tang guessed - could there be another proxy fighter among the enemies?
This is not impossible.
Yunda Gongcheng who helped the Northern Desert, Wei Lou and Weicheng who helped the Gao Kingdom, and Mei Jinghe who was a troublemaker behind the scenes, all of them had their own agendas but also reached a tacit understanding - not to let Shen Tang have an easy time! As a On the key battlefield, a mysterious substitute fighter appeared in Shangnan County. It was reasonable! Shen Tang's guess was logical, but the reality was the least logical. She guessed wrong.
Cui Xiao looked at Qi Shan.
Try to communicate with the latter through your eyes.
result--
Qishan just lost his mind and ignored Cui Xiao.
Cui Xiao: "..."
He coughed heavily before Qi Shan could speak, enjoying Qi Shan's shock when he discovered his presence: "Back to the Lord, it's a long story... Cheng Yaojin doesn't have one, only He Shu."
Wu Xian has high hopes for this elite team, hoping that it can become a key link to break the stalemate and help Gao Guo regain its disadvantage. Therefore, he is quite willing to spend money on the lineup. The generals are capable, and the soldiers are all elites from good families. The combat effectiveness, morale and mobility are all above average.
So far, it's quite satisfactory.
If Shangnan County is unprepared, he will definitely be stunned.
However, Shangnan County was on guard but was beaten like this, and the core was He Shu! Mentioning He Shu, Cui Xiao's head still hurts. There is a saying that best describes this person - He is afraid of being stunned, and he is stunned. He Shu was afraid of risking his life. Not only did He Shu risk his own life, he could also make others risk their lives along with him!
Shen Tang frowned and said, "Congratulations?"
Cui Xiao sighed deeply: "Yes, that's him."
That day, Yun Ce used his martial energy to forcibly freeze the thunder and lightning in the sky. He thought that this would suppress He Shu's scribe's way, damage the enemy's morale, and repel the enemy soldiers. But unexpectedly, they underestimated this scribe's way. He Shu The purpose of activating the Way of the Scribe is not only to induce thunder and destruction, but the ultimate goal is to borrow the power of thunder and lightning.
[The World is Great] The warriors within the range fell into a certain state of fanaticism. First, their bodies swelled, their muscles were as hard as iron, and they knew no pain. They were extremely powerful. Thunder and lightning filled their bodies and turned into magical armors, which were invulnerable. Not one or two, or one. Two hundred, but thousands! The congratulatory letter said that these are "divine generals and immortal officials"!
Shen Tang frowned and said, "God generals and officials?"
She vaguely felt that it sounded familiar, and thought about it carefully: "Just hearing the description sounds similar to the warriors in Huang Lie's tent."
At that time, Huang Lie also used Gu insects to create a large number of heavy shield warriors.
Such is the case with these heavy shield warriors.
The only difference is that Huang Lie relied on Gu insects to refine the heavy shield warrior, and the success rate was very low. Those who failed to make the carrier would definitely die, while He Shu could achieve a similar effect by just using the perfect state of the scribe's way [the world is prosperous]. Although the latter does not last long, the advantage is that it is not a one-time event. As long as the thunder clouds do not dissipate, it can continuously recharge the "Divine General and Immortal Official"! Shen Tang paused and then said: "It's also like a rumor. The 'yellow scarf warrior' in the book, coupled with He Shu's way of being a scribe, really complement each other..."
After saying that, Shen Tang recovered his scattered thoughts.
Mentally estimate the gap between the enemy and ourselves.
"... I just entered the city and found many lightning rods with Zhoukou seals on the battlefield outside the city. These lightning rods should be competing with those 'gods, generals and immortal officials' for thunder and lightning, right?" Shen Tang initially thought that those lightning rods were The lightning rod was meant to protect buildings and living people, but it was unexpected that it was meant to cut off the supplies of the "divine generals and immortal officials".
Cui Xiao nodded: "The Peking University craftsman has made great contributions."
As long as the thunder clouds do not dissipate, He Shu can use the power of natural thunder and lightning to create a tireless and astonishingly powerful elite army! Based on the description provided by Cui Xiao, Shen Tang deduced the battle situation between the two sides in his mind: "Even so. …”
A lot of money was spent on the city defense of Shangnan County. Gu Ren laid a solid foundation back then, and after Shen Tang took office, he allocated a lot of budget to make this place so impregnable that it is no exaggeration to say that even an earth dragon could not leave a trace on the city wall. crack!
Cui Xiao: "There is chaos in the city."
Shen Tang's face darkened: "You said the inner city..."
Indeed, if they were attacked from both inside and outside, no matter how many military means Qi Shan and the others had, they would still be unable to save the day. A strong murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "...Is it because the enemy is lurking in secretly, or one of our own people is instigated to rebel, or maybe Other cases?"
Cui Xiao glanced at Qi Shan again.
He shook his head and said: "None of them."
Shen Tang was startled: "None of them?"
The key to the problem still lies with those thunder and lightning heads!
The city's protective barrier did not last long under the ravages of thunderclouds, and was broken in less than a quarter of an hour. If thunder and lightning were allowed to bombard the city wantonly, the population density of the inner city would cause immeasurable casualties. Qi Shan immediately ordered the mobilization of troops in the city and arranged for the common people Escape from the city through another city gate, and at the same time arrange for manpower to intercept these thunder and lightning. No matter how hard you try, some fish will slip through the net.
A certain lightning struck the common people.
The common people did not die, but became "divine generals and immortal officials"!
Shen Tang's pupils shrank suddenly: "What?"
Cui Xiao gets a headache when he mentions this matter.
He later learned that these lightning strikes were not random, but followed a certain pattern! These "divine generals and officials" in the city did not immediately rush into the battlefield, but were massacred!
It sounds a bit contradictory at first, but that's the real situation.
It's just that the targets they massacre are not ordinary people, nor the soldiers who defend the city, but the various wealthy families in the city. No matter which family they belong to, whether they are men or women, they will be killed on sight! The area where the local wealthy families gather is full of corpses, and the house is full of corpses. Empty.
After killing these people, the "divine generals and immortal officials" attacked the city defense.
These strange sky thunders will not directly kill ordinary people, but they can cause devastating damage to buildings, trigger underground fires, and people trapped in them will be burned to death. In the chaos, half of the city was destroyed. Qishan and others were forced to separate The heart must not only deal with the fierce enemies, but also pay attention to the safety of the retreating team in the rear. Especially Cui Xiao, his scribe's way was seriously overdrawn at this time.
Fortunately, He Shu concentrated his energy in front of the two armies and was not in the inner city of the government. Cui Xiao, who had been backlashed by the scribe's way once, gritted his teeth and applied the effect of the scribe's way to the transferred people. It took a long time for ordinary people to retreat, and the order was lost. In the chaos, Cui Xiao was under a lot of pressure. He didn't notice his situation, nor did he realize that his bodyguards were ignoring him. Without the help of his bodyguards, he would inevitably be affected.
This directly caused him to lie on the battlefield for a long time.
There are also benefits to having a low sense of presence.
Your own people won't notice him, and neither will your enemies.
Yun Ce used one enemy to contain the enemy generals, while Bei Jiu got wise in his haste and led 80% of the Mo soldiers to plant 108 lightning rods on the battlefield, while the remaining 20% of the Mo soldiers planted 36 lightning rods under the inner city.
Only by containing the root cause could we barely turn the tide of the war.
Of course, the real reason goes beyond that. He Xin's fight with He Shu, which caused the latter's backlash, was also a major reason.
Although Cui Xiao spoke briefly, Shen Tang was still able to deduce everything. She closed her eyes to suppress her chaotic thoughts, then opened her eyes and still looked straight at Cui Xiao: "Thank you for your hard work in this battle."
Cui Xiao looked ashamed.
He asked himself that he had tried his best, but the results before him could not satisfy him. All literati were proud, and Cui Xiao was no exception. How could he not know the urinary properties of Wu Xian's soldiers and horses?
Just one more congratulatory statement and a perfect "good luck to the world" can make him disgraced and fall hard! How can he swallow this tone?
There is such a big difference between the way of the scribes and the way of the scribes!
Thinking back on the thrills of the past few days, I feel even more anxious.
His survival depends entirely on luck, and luck is illusory!
He was not willing to lose this battle, and he was even more unwilling to win it!
Shen Tang saw through Cui Xiao's inner tangle, but also knew that he needed to digest this kind of thing by himself. Her solution to Cui Xiao would be a humiliation and blow to an arrogant person. Shen Tang could only pretend not to know and asked about He The whereabouts mentioned: "Is he dead?"
Cui Xiao looked at Qi Shan and asked him to answer this question.
Qishan replied: "There is no death."
Not only the wealthy families in the inner city were massacred, but nearly 90% of the wealthy families in Shangnan County suffered heavy losses. After the successful fight for the letter of congratulations, He Shu was captured. How to deal with this person will have to wait until Shen Tang finds out.
He Shu's situation is too special to handle.
Shen Tang: "..."
She looked at Qi Shan with resentful eyes.
You know it's not easy to handle, but you still let her handle it?
She thought for a moment and then changed the subject: "What are the casualty statistics? How many victims are there in the city? How many manpower will it take, and how long will it take to resettle them? Gaoguo is already a grasshopper after the fall, and it is only a matter of time before it is captured. It is just a matter of time to take advantage of the opportunity. , allocate manpower to pack up Shangnan. Please give me the statistics as soon as possible."
Shen Tang sneaked out this time and couldn't stay out for too long.
No matter how reluctant he is, he must resolve the matter of He Shu before leaving.
Before meeting He Shu, she needed to understand some things.
"Yuan Liang, do you know why he massacred the big families in the city?"
Judging from the information presented to her, He Shu also had contacts with these families. He himself was from a noble family!
