Sheluo Mandrill walked into the tunnel with a bowed body. The vines that had eaten the flesh and blood of living people supported the soft earth and rocks above and prevented them from collapsing. However, the faint trembling sound above their heads still made everyone in the tunnel uneasy.
"There are constant trainings every day in the Huaxu State Camp." Wu Tengzhai's big shaman said in a low voice with his face full of oil and sweat: "Thankfully, these people are training every day, and they are also expanding the camp on a large scale, making a lot of noises, just in time.
Cover us as we dig the tunnel."
Meng Qu sniffed, obviously not liking the stagnant atmosphere in the tunnel, so he asked: "Isn't that Zhenminghou Zhao Shui about to die? Why can the army still train day and night without seeing a wave of morale?"
"I just asked Miaosaluo, and she said that Zhao Shui was sitting on a chair this morning to inspect the camp." Sheluo Man said: "It can be seen that he is just trying his best to support the troops and force them to train in order to protect the morale of the army. That's it.
It can tire out soldiers and make them unable to cause rebellion."
The great witch of Wu Teng Village asked: "Now that the fossil vine has grown below the enemy camp, when will the ground be dug?"
"There are also monks among the enemy. If we make too much noise, I'm afraid it will attract their attention." She Luoman said: "I have asked Fei Zuosheng to leave the city in the afternoon and march to the southeast to break out.
On the surface, it is a breakout, but in fact, we will move the enemy's elite troops away from the camp. At that time, we will rush out of the ground and set fire everywhere. If Zhao Shu is in the camp, we will kill him on the spot. If he takes the risk of leaving the camp, then we will start from
Raid from the rear."
Meng Qu let out an ugly laugh: "I'm afraid that Fei Zuosheng is unwilling to fight his way out and cannot lead the enemy's elite and monks away."
"I arranged for Miao Soluo to go with Fei Zuosheng, and she promised to release the golden-winged dragon moth. Even if Zhao Shu is negligent for a moment, he will definitely send elite troops to intercept it afterwards," Sheluo Mandrill said.
"Golden-winged dragon moth?" The great witch of Wuteng Village was surprised: "The legendary insect that flaps its wings and raises the wind can destroy flesh and blood? Miaosaluo is actually willing to release this insect against the enemy?"
Sheluo Mandrill nodded: "I promise to allocate the territory of Feiyuan Twelve Villages to Baihua Valley after the war."
Meng Qu said angrily: "The Twelve Villages of Flying Ape are used by the high priest to contain Baihua Valley. How can you just use them to make promises?"
"I made a promise, but whether I can fulfill it or not depends on the high priest's words?" Sheluo Mandrill continued without even looking at it: "What's more, it's hard to say whether Miao Soluo can survive in the face of Zhao Shu's elite.
Her Gu skills are not bad, but her ability to fight head-on is far from great."
"What about Fei Zuosheng?" asked the great wizard of Wu Teng Village: "He is the general assigned by Master Wu Zhen."
"Generals surrendered by other countries cannot be trusted after all." She Luoman made the following verdict: "Let him die on the land of Huaxu Kingdom, which can be regarded as a little respect for his past achievements."
…
"Zhao Changshi, come and report from the scouting horse that the Jiuli barbarians are trying to break out from the southeast!"
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Miao was holding a scroll in his hand, and Zhang Liwei hurriedly came to report, followed by a group of school captains, military officials, and monks from the palace.
"Sure enough, we are here." Zhao Shu put down the scroll, looked around at everyone and said, "Everyone, just follow the previous arrangements and act on your own."
The soldiers took the order and left. Zhao Miao put on a green shirt with wide sleeves and a yellow ribbon with black inscriptions on his waist. He left the tent and boarded a carriage. Under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, he slowly moved toward the southeast of Dantu County.
Move slowly.
The army moved away, raising up billowing smoke and dust. A moment later, the ground in the camp suddenly sank. Before the soldiers left behind in the camp noticed it, hundreds of capable soldiers quickly poured out of the tunnel.
Sheluo Mandrill took the lead, and the soldiers on the left and right each threw igniting objects. Wu Zhu from behind used his magic and immediately set fire to many tents.
However, when the fire started, there were no screams, no panic, and no panic. Only a series of rapid drum beatings sounded around the camp at the same time.
"not good!"
Sheluo Mandrill's heart was beating fast, and he immediately sensed the approaching murderous intention. Before he could signal his soldiers, countless arrows shot through the air and screamed, like a torrential rain, pouring from all directions.
With just one encounter, hundreds of Jiuli soldiers fell down and were shot like hedgehogs.
There are only a few masters such as Sheluo Manor and Meng Qu who rely on their strong muscles and bones to be invulnerable to any iron attack. They protected their comrades in the rain of arrows, but their skin and flesh were also scratched by the talisman arrows mixed in, leaving numerous wounds.
"Zhao Miao, how dare you plot against me?!" Sheluo Mandrill roared sharply, and the wild boar skin wrap on his back swelled.
But he had just performed the magic transformation, and the canvas was lifted off the grain ship parked on the shore. Three crossbows were set up on the ship, and they were all aimed at the white wild boar. The crossbow arrows, which had been refined through multiple blessings and spells, were fired rapidly from the string, like
Three white awns were driven straight into the wild boar's back.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of magic weapon light rushed over. Among them, the purple flying silk ribbon was like purple clouds falling from the sky, containing the power of breaking mountains and cutting off rivers, and hit the wild boar's head with a heavy blow.
"It's bad! The tunnel was collapsed!"
The great witch of Wuteng Village who hurriedly ran out of the tunnel was about to inform the rear of the changes. When he looked up, he saw a miserable scene - countless arrows and nails were inserted into the ground, hundreds of capable soldiers fell to the ground, and a few were still struggling and twitching, whispering.
Wailing, blood dyed the ground red, spreading over his ankles, as if he had arrived at a dazzling red thorn bush.
Sheluo Mandrill was beaten back to his human form, and he knelt down, his head fell on his feet, and the Tianling Cap sunk in; Mengqu's body was covered with arrows, and he stood on the ground with a single sword. One of his arms had gone somewhere, and the wolf heads on his subordinate's back were
The weirdos also died in different ways. Some tried to rush out, but were nailed to death by crossbow arrows in the middle.
At this time, the great witch of Wuteng Village heard the sound of a musical instrument in the air, and all the tunnels behind him collapsed. There were still more than a hundred people inside who had not yet walked out. They were all buried under tons of earth and stone, and no one survived.
"I..." The great witch of Wuteng Village was about to beg for mercy, when arrows, spells, and magic weapons came from all directions. He could not resist it and was blown to pieces on the spot.
Ding Muqiu floated down with purple silk in her hand, looked at the corpses on the ground, and frowned slightly: "Why do you still want to dig tunnels and raid our military camp?"
At this time, Zhang Liwei came on horseback and said loudly: "Zhao Changshi has an order, please go ahead and outflank the enemy's retreat to prevent them from retreating to Dantu County."
More than a dozen monks hiding in various parts of the camp appeared one after another, and Ding Muqiu responded cheerfully: "Please rest assured, Zhao Changshi, we will never give the enemy a chance to escape!"
…
Standing on the chariot barrier and looking into the distance, the soldiers and horses of Jiuli Kingdom were eager to break out of the encirclement, and their positions were scattered. Lieutenant Chen led a group of light cavalry to attack from the flanks, dividing the enemy's formation.
On the other side, many monks led by Ding Muqiu descended from the sky, throwing talismans and fire, sacrificial treasures flying into the sky, and killing the enemy soldiers on the ground until they were bloody and bloody.
The soldiers who had just been ambushing the camp were also mobilized, forming an encirclement from the north to the south, gradually squeezing the soldiers and horses of Jiuli Kingdom.
"Thank you for reminding me." Zhao Shu knew that the outcome was decided, so he secretly said to Lingxiao: "Earlier, Miao Saluo came to the camp to report the news, but you said that the Jiuli Kingdom would not attack the camp through tunnels only. When we meet today,
As expected, you predicted the enemy's movements."
"The tunnel is narrow. Even if the Jiuli Kingdom uses magic to dig it, there won't be many soldiers that can pass through. They will definitely arrange a breakout and draw away most of your troops." Lingxiao said: "Miaosaluo only knows
One, I don’t know the other, even if she didn’t come to report the news, with Lu Wangji’s cultivation level, she would have noticed it when the tunnel got a little closer.”
"And you asked me to use your plan to expand the camp, train the soldiers, and make all kinds of noises on the ground to make the enemy think they can dig tunnels under the camp." Zhao Shu said: "You can participate in the tunnel raid.
They must be the enemy's elite, as long as they are ambushed, surrounded and suppressed, a major hidden danger will be eliminated."
Zhao Shu watched the enemy forces in the distance gradually subside, and felt a little relieved: "I'm glad they rushed out on their own initiative. If they really attacked the city, I don't know how many people would have died."
"Suddenly attacking the enemy's hinterland and occupying the city will make it difficult to hold on for a long time." Lingxiao said.
Zhao Shu shook his head: "Perhaps I should be grateful to the county captain. He came in time to report the city's fall, so that I could lead my troops as soon as possible and trap the enemy in Dantu County."
The blocking battle outside the city ended quickly. Now the number of enemy troops that broke out of the city was far less than the number of Zhao Shu's troops. What's more, masters such as Shelo Mandrill died one after another under siege from all sides. The enemy troops that broke out of the city lacked strong strength.
Aid is destined to fail miserably.
"Zhao Changshi, we have captured the enemy commander!" Zhang Liwei's face was covered with blood and sweat from the killing, and there were several slash marks on his armor.
"Oh? He's not dead?" Zhao Shu sat behind the car barrier and lightly dusted his clothes: "Bring him here."
Not long after, two soldiers came over with Fei Zuosheng, who was covered in blood and had his hair in a mess. He had wounds on his cheeks and arms, and he fell to his knees in a miserable state.
"Your name is Fei Zuosheng?" Zhao Miao sighed: "What a good name. I heard that you were a subordinate of Duke Qingming back then?"
Fei Zuosheng spit out bloody phlegm, glanced at Zhao Mi, and said, "Is it possible that Marquis Zhenming wants to hold him accountable for what happened back then?"
"I want to ask for forgiveness, why bother talking about old things?" Zhao Shu said: "During the rebellion of the Three Dukes of Huaxu Kingdom, I was just a child. But I didn't expect that it was not enough for you to seek refuge in Jiuli Kingdom, and you wanted to attack in turn.
Huaxu Kingdom, are you here to avenge Duke Qingming?"
Fei Zuo Sheng laughed a few times: "In the first few years when I took refuge in Jiuli Kingdom, I might have had thoughts of revenge. Now? Oh, it doesn't matter anymore."
"In that case, why did you lead the troops to attack?" Zhao Shu frowned and said, "You must have seen the brutal behavior of the Jiuli barbarians in Dantu County, so why did you help them?"
"Marquis Zhenming, is this your first time leading troops?" Fei Zuosheng saw through it at a glance. Zhao Shu's silence was regarded as acquiescence. The other party continued: "Do you think a surrendered general like me who defected to another country can be idle?
Return to farming and live a peaceful life?
I don’t want to participate in the attack on Huaxu Kingdom. People will immediately treat me as a spy! Since I have chosen the path of being under someone else’s fence, I have to use my own ability to fight and fight! Even so, I cannot avoid it.
To be treated coldly and humiliated by others.
You monks in the temple are so pampered that you can hold high positions and be supported by the court without doing anything. How have you ever experienced the sufferings of people like us? If you want to make me regret my confession by relying on your tongue, then I advise Marquis Zhenming
, no need to waste energy."
Zhao Shu was silent for a long time. Fei Zuosheng knelt down and said, "If Marquis Zhenming still has any mercy, please kill me quickly! I don't want to be taken to Dongsheng Capital and suffer all the humiliation before I die."
"I will leave the whole body for you." Zhao Miao closed his eyes and waved: "Take him down and hang him. Don't let him mix with the Jiuli soldiers and find another place to bury him."
Fei Zuosheng regarded death as if he were home. He straightened his hair a little and was about to leave. Zhao Shu called him to stop him and said one more sentence: "Yang... Although Duke Qingming was defeated, he fought hard until the end."
Fei Zuosheng showed a slight expression of surprise, but then returned to normal, and then allowed the soldiers to take him away.
At this time, several military officers and monks from the school also arrived. Ding Muqiu looked at Fei Zuosheng's back and snorted coldly: "It's an advantage for him."
Lieutenant Chen raised his hands and asked: "Zhao Changshi, we have captured more than 200 Jiuli soldiers, what should we do with them?"
"Behead them all." Zhao Shu said simply and neatly: "Immediately send troops into Dantu County to search whether there are any remaining troops from the Jiuli Kingdom. In addition, you are not allowed to rob the people. It is a violation of military law and the subordinate officers will also be seated."
"Got the order!"
Zhao Shu turned to Ding Muqiu and said: "If there are still Jiuli Wuzhu in the city, please help Daoist Ding lead his men to destroy them. The remaining enemy troops may be trapped in a fight, so Daoist Ding must not go alone."
"Understood, I'll go now!" Ding Muqiu did not hesitate and went with several monks.
Zhao Shu looked at the other captains and officers: "Dingzi camp is back to guard the camp again. Collect the corpses of the witches and Zhus first. Don't bury them for the time being. I have other uses. I will go to the city later to appease the people, and the civil servants will draft a notice on my behalf."
, posted in the city."
Everyone was ordered to go away. Zhao Shu had nothing to do for a while, so he asked He Dangguan to take his soldiers to a distant place to escape.
"The Gu Master is peeping nearby." Lu Wangji said.
Zhao Shu concentrated on adjusting his breathing for a while, and then he reluctantly used the Yingxuan Photo Scenery Technique. He felt a slight sting in his eyes, but he still found the location of Miaosa Luo.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied with this result?" Zhao Shu slowly approached under the escort of Lu Wangji and said to the deserted place.
A burst of light and dust flew away from the butterfly wings, revealing the figure of Miaosaluo. She smiled and said: "You are really rude, you didn't leave anyone alive and let me escape back to Jiuli Kingdom alone."
"How you want to explain it to the big shot in Jiuli Kingdom is your business." Zhao Shu said with his hands behind his back: "Since you chose to betray your comrades, you can't complain about this outcome."
Miao Suoluo did not participate in the tunnel surprise attack, but assisted Fei Zuosheng to break out of the city. However, she disappeared as soon as she left the city and watched as most of the Jiuli Kingdom's troops were destroyed.
"Twenty years have passed, Mr. Zhao Xiaolang has really grown up." Miao Soluo stretched out and asked: "How is it? Do you want to be bold and go to Baihua Valley with your sister? My sister guarantees that you will live a comfortable life.
It’s better than working for someone in Huaxu Country.”
"Fei Zuo's teachings are still fresh in my mind, why should I make the same mistakes again?" Zhao Shu refused.
"Then when you are about to die in the future, don't blame my sister for not warning me in advance." Miao Saluo said: "The demon king is born, the snake god descends to earth, no matter what happens, you must eat a lot of blood. A practitioner like you
For a person, blood, flesh and blood is the best sacrifice. But if three elite troops were destroyed in one battle in Dantu County, your life is probably more valuable than Wei Xiuwen."
"In this case, I can't go to Baihua Valley with you." Zhao Shu smiled faintly: "Why did you bother to provoke me into this trouble?"
"I remember Mr. Zhao Xiaolang's kindness very clearly." Miao Saluo came close to him, kissed Zhao Mian on the face with a peck, and then waved his hand: "Let's go, if you still have life in the future, come to Baihua Valley to see
Let’s see.”
Looking at the direction Miao Saluo left, Zhao Shu touched his cheek in embarrassment and was speechless.
