Faced with such a terrifying scene, even Zhao Bu, who had always remained calm, could no longer hold back and shouted in panic:

"What's going on? What's going on!?"

On the contrary, Wang Li was the calmest at this time.

He was of noble birth, had been on the battlefield for a long time, and was a master who had seen things before. He had seen a lot of the tricks of the Jianghu people, and heard even more about them.

Although this was the first time he had seen such underworld operations like the Zhu family's, and it was even the first time he knew there were such underworld things.

"Fire the arrows! Keep firing the arrows!" Wang Li continued to order calmly.

Regardless of whether he is a human or a ghost, let’s shoot an arrow at the pot first.

When the panic-stricken Armor-Piercing Soldiers heard this order, they also found a channel to vent their emotions, and threw crossbow arrows at the Zhu family as if they were free of charge.

Although the Zhu family floats all over the mountains and plains, and the only difference between them and ghosts is that they are not dead yet, so many Zhu families are actually real.

The powerful crossbow arrows hit these households. Just like the Zhu family at the beginning, the kinetic energy carried by the arrows directly knocked people to the ground.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the ground was covered with a layer of little fat men.

The attack was very effective, but unfortunately failed to change the current situation.

Many Zhu family members have fallen, but even more are still floating in the sky.

The most terrible thing is that although these "Zhu Family" will be hit and knocked down by crossbow arrows, they will not be killed and will soon stand up again with the help of other Zhu Family.

Seeing this scene, the armor-piercing soldier's psychological pressure increased and his attacks became more and more crazy.

When facing a ghost, even if your attacks don't work at all, you can't help but try your best to fight.

However, this does not change the situation.

They shot on one side and supported on the other side, reaching a certain dynamic balance until the armor-piercing soldier emptied his quiver.

The arrow rain stopped, and all the Zhu family quickly floated in the sky again, their bodies swaying and swaying, as if a huge ghost face was grinning.

The cold and sharp voice of the Zhu family sounded again, "You trespassed into Daze Mountain without permission and disturbed the ancestor Shennong who has been sleeping for thousands of years. The ancestor had a dream yesterday, hehe... I want to teach you some lessons!"

Zhu's words are nonsense, but at this time, the pressure on the armor-piercing soldiers is unprecedented.

Zhao Bu was sweating and suggested to Wang Li tremblingly, "General...General, the Zhu family is known as a thousand people with a thousand faces. I think the situation is not right, let's withdraw first."

Although Zhao Bu made this suggestion out of fear, it has to be said that there is actually nothing wrong with this suggestion.

But in Wang Li's opinion, Zhao Bu was simply frightened - and that was indeed the case.

It will definitely not work to rashly withdraw our troops just because the enemy is doing all the bells and whistles.

Wang Li waved his hand, wanting to throw it at Zhao Bu's face, and angrily reprimanded, "It's just a trick of pretending to be a ghost, how can the imperial army retreat hastily!"

Wang Li's judgment was very accurate.

Although the Zhu family created such a huge scene, they were actually all pretending.

He didn't even activate Thousand Men and Thousand Faces!

Because there is no need at all, it is just done to bluff people, and some illusion tricks are enough.

A real person with thousands of people and thousands of faces, that is, each phantom body can really engage in battle, but what Wang Li and the others have in front of them are just empty frames.

If they were brave enough, they would just rush forward and they would get through.

Unfortunately, even Wang Li was a little scared, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

His judgment is more accurate than inaccurate. In that case, he may decisively withdraw his troops and retreat.

After hearing the conversation between Wang Li and Zhao Bu, the Zhu family laughed several times in their sharp voices, "Retreat? You can't leave!"

"As the saying goes, it is better to bury the dead than to return to the earth."

"The earth benefits all things, and Shen Nong will never die!"

Wang Li refused to follow his lead and scolded him angrily:

"Stop pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, you bastard!"

"The whole army listens to the order and rush over to me!"

Wang Li, who felt that his military morale was becoming increasingly disorganized, had to choose the final plan.

He didn't want to rush over hastily, but if he delayed any longer, he was afraid that his soldiers would be frightened.

Why don't you give it a try now? He doesn't believe that the Zhu family can really stop thousands of his troops!

However, before he could make any move, the Zhu family made a bigger noise first.

An evil wind blew from nowhere and formed a whirlwind among the overwhelming Zhu family, sucking all the Zhu family to one place.

In the process, the Zhu family began to disappear quickly, and all the people and lanterns disappeared quietly, leaving only the distinctive mask.

The strange thing is that the lantern is gone, but the green light is still there.

In the dim light, the masks continued to gather and stack, gradually forming a huge new mask with rich green light... It might also be the face of the Zhu family.

Anyway, the shape is exactly the same.

This low-end rough version of the old monster from Youquan with no make-up was obviously more oppressive than before. All the armor-piercing soldiers were so frightened that they stopped moving forward. Even Wang Li was speechless for a while and could not give another order.

In Youquan at this time... the masked old monster showed the Zhu family's "happy" face, and the curved corners of his mouth looked very scary.

The mask tilted downward slightly, as if looking at Wang Li's army, and asked with a sinister smile:

"Let's guess a riddle - where are you now?"

Wang Li felt a little guilty when he heard this and quickly turned to look at Zhao Bu.

Zhao Bu probably knew what his general was thinking, and quickly responded, "General, this time we are 100% at the Equinox Stream!"

After confirming that he had not taken the wrong path again, Wang Li first breathed a sigh of relief, and then fell into thinking again.

This is indeed the Vernal Equinox Stream, so what does the Zhu family mean by asking?

Before he could think about it carefully, the Zhu family spoke again:

"Hehehe... The second riddle is, since it's called the Vernal Equinox Stream, why is there no water?"

Wang Li's eyes widened instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The water of the Vernal Equinox Stream...yes, the water of the Vernal Equinox Stream!

The reason why the Vernal Equinox Stream is a stream and not a valley is because it has water, otherwise it would be called the Vernal Equinox Valley.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now, the water is gone.

Wang Li has always ignored this.

This is not because he has no brains, but because he has never seen the water in the Equinox Stream.

He had only seen rivers fabricated by farmers near Qingming Valley, but at the Spring Equinox Stream... he had never seen water here, so the corresponding concept had never been born.

This caused him to unconsciously ignore this fatal problem.

And now, this inadvertent oversight is starting to cost lives.

"The third riddle, where did the water in the Equinox Stream go?" Zhu's voice sounded again.

Zhao Bu also reacted at this time and said in shock, "General, as you expected, they blocked the upstream stream!"

Wang Li now wanted to bite all his teeth into pieces.

What the hell, I specifically mentioned this during the Spring Equinox, but then I forgot about it...

"Retreat! The whole army retreats!" Reality no longer allowed Wang Li to feel sorry for himself, so he had no choice but to order a retreat immediately.

"The fourth riddle, is it still too late to run away now?"

The huge mask hung in the sky, swaying with shrill laughter, like a real person who was overjoyed.

"This is not a riddle at all!" Wang Li could only respond angrily.

The Zhu family laughed again, and their 'happy' side instantly changed into an 'angry' side, "Hey hey hey... you're right, this is not a riddle, this is a eulogy for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mask rotated a few times and then disappeared.

At this time, the armor-piercing soldiers also completed their turn and began to retreat quickly along the way they came.

However, it's too late.

"The water is coming!"

As the vague and uncertain voices of the Zhu family came from all directions, the sound of roaring water also entered everyone's ears.

Wang Li took the lead and took the lead in opening up the water. Behind him was the spring equinox water that had accumulated for a long time.

The nearly half-foot-high water flow contained white water splashes, passing through the trees, carrying sand and rocks, and rushing toward the armor-piercing soldiers.

It seems that the water flow is not high, just over one meter, but when the water surges, even if it is only half a meter, it is extremely dangerous.

The current rushing toward Wang Li and the others was enough to make everyone, including the cavalry, unable to resist and be sucked into the current, making life or death uncertain.

Wang, Li and Zhao relied on their good horses and fought all the way from the back of the team to the front. They were always left a few steps behind by the turbulent water.

The soldiers who fell behind the two of them were naturally swept into the water. Whether they survived in the end depended on luck.
