Chapter 276 The mountain god destroys the bear demon
The morning on the summer grassland is still a bit chilly.
This group of riders woke up before dawn, ate the rice cakes they brought with them, and drank wine to warm themselves up.
I don’t know whether it’s because the skilled people are bold, or because the northern warriors who join the army are always brave, or because they are sure that there are no Saibei people here. After taking a few sips of wine, some people actually sang loudly.
The sound echoed in the early morning grassland.
Not far away is the corpse of Ye Yougong. The evil spirit and blood in his body have not yet dissipated. It is said that even the wolves on the grassland will not eat this thing.
After a while, the rangers had finished cleaning up, and had loaded the bodies of the brothers who died in the battle onto their horses and tied them up. They all came to say goodbye to Song You with fists in their hands: "If you don't go to Zhaoye City, sir, then we brothers will
I say goodbye to my husband here. There have been some strange movements among the Saibei people here recently, so we have to go back and recover."
"Six hundred miles to the east from here is Yuanzhi City. The Liaoxin Pass I asked about last night is not far from Yuanzhi City. They are at an angle. If you want to go there, you can only go east after passing Yuanzhi City.
Dozens of miles.”
"If Sir, if you go here, as long as you don't continue to go north, it will be our territory. You should not run into the large army of the Saibei people, but at most a small group of rangers. If General Chen can win the respect of Sir, I think he is a capable Xuan."
Sir, I won’t worry about it anymore. I just wish you to take care of yourself and have a safe journey.”
"I'll say goodbye!"
Song You also said to them:
"Everyone, walk slowly."
Everyone got on their horses, said goodbye to him and left.
The last one was the corpse of his colleague, who also looked like a young man. He was tied horizontally on the horse and swayed as the horse trotted.
Song You withdrew his gaze and looked at the fire in front of him.
"call……"
Blow on it and the fire will light up.
"!"
The calico cat next to him was also looking at that side. When he heard the movement, he turned his head instantly and stared at him.
"..."
Song You had no choice but to wave his hand again.
Silently, the fire went out.
The calico cat's eyes flickered for a few times before he looked back and blew into the fire.
"Canopy..."
The flame rekindled.
One person and one cat boil water over the fire to eat. After eating, they pack up their things and continue their journey.
The topography changes slowly beneath your feet.
There is also some elevation gain and loss.
Originally, the meadows stretched as far as the eye could see, and the slopes of the hillsides had gentle curves. There were very few trees, and if there were any, they were mostly shrubs. Gradually, the mountains on the grassland became larger, and occasionally there were towering rocky mountains exposed from the soil, as if they had emerged from the earth.
There are more boulders and trees popping up, transitioning from pure meadow to forest steppe.
The crowds have also become more crowded.
Song You not only met the pink-faced woman and stable boy mentioned by the knight surnamed Feng, but also met the team escorting military supplies, and even saw a caravan going north.
He was both stopped by cyclists and questioned at the border gate.
A few days later.
When the Taoist, the calico cat, and the bay-red horse stepped onto a hill, they already saw Yuanzhi City.
There are five towns in the north of the town, and Yuanzhi City is the most important town.
The main force of the Zhenbei Army was stationed here, engaging in confrontation with the Saibei people.
At this time, fighting was going on below, and the shouts of killing were loud.
Song You raised his eyes and looked into the distance——
There is a huge city on the ground, also made of rammed loess. It looks similar to Yuan'an City, but it is much larger than Yuan'an City. The city wall is as high as a cliff. The wall is full of soldiers, and arrows are pointing downwards like rain.
On the north side of the city, there are endless tents in the distance, and people all over the mountains and plains are nearby, relying on siege equipment to launch a fierce attack on the city wall.
The shouts of death can be heard even from the top of the mountain.
Song You took a closer look.
In front of the attacking army, there was a bear demon.
The bear demon showed its original shape, standing upright, more than a foot tall. It looked neither like a black bear nor a brown bear. It had khaki fur and a head like a horse. It seemed to be a unique species of bear on this grassland. The bear demon suddenly realized
He slammed into the city gate of Yuanzhi City, and then jumped towards the city wall. He climbed on the loess city wall with his sharp claws, seeming to be trying to climb up.
The troops on the city wall were well-trained, cooperated tacitly, and were able to attack and defend properly. Countless strong bows and powerful crossbows were fired at it, but most of them were of little use. Only foot crossbows could cause some damage.
To really hurt it, you have to wait until it enters the attack range of the huge bed crossbow on the enemy platform.
No matter how hard this thing gets and becomes a spirit, as long as it is still made of flesh, no matter how thick-skinned and thick-skinned it is, it will still scream when faced with a bed crossbow that can even be nailed into a city wall.
Often when they climb halfway, they are shot down.
Or when it is about to climb up, there are powerful generals with superb martial arts waiting for it. They cooperate with the shield soldiers and spearmen to defend it and knock it back down.
The sounds of fighting and roars echoed between heaven and earth.
From a distance, it looks like a war between mortals and demons.
Song You watched calmly, squinting his eyes.
"really……"
Demons, gods and ghosts have not participated in human wars for many years.
This kind of scene would have been more common in ancient times.
At that time, the order was chaotic. There were many humane monks and many demons. They often participated in power struggles and national wars in the world, causing chaos in the world and making the world feel like hell.
History is a process of orderly development.
Nothing like this has happened for a long time now.
There are many reasons -
On the one hand, there are fewer and fewer demons.
Troubled times give birth to monsters. Now that Dayan is at peace, people in the south, even many younger people, have never seen monsters. Occasionally, ghosts appear on the road at night, which is surprising. Wherever monsters cause trouble, it may become a legend for many years.
Legend has it that many of the horrifying stories about monsters and ghosts should have been handed down from the last years of the previous dynasty to the early years of this dynasty.
If there were less demons, this kind of thing would naturally not happen.
On the one hand, the attitudes of demons and humans are naturally different, and the differences are even greater than those between countries. Generally speaking, there are few cases of large-scale assistance to human countries in fighting.
If the scale is small, except for a few big monsters, most monsters will not be able to resist the elite soldiers organized by the organization. There are many monsters who wander around the human city but are afraid of being captured by officials.
On the one hand, the world is now a humane one, and the order has changed.
"..."
But now Song You saw it with his own eyes.
Conflicts in the world are hard to stop, but the affairs of the world are human affairs, so how can demons, gods and ghosts be allowed to get involved?
"well……"
Song You sighed and raised his hand.
There was a stream of light in his hand.
He waved his hand casually, and the stream of light flew forward, like a meteor, crossing the sky in an instant and falling under the city.
"Rumble..."
The ground suddenly trembled.
There are many stones on the ground.
Some were originally found on the grassland, exposed on the ground or embedded in the ground, and some were dropped by both sides and scattered everywhere. At this time, they all rolled around as if they were alive. If they were embedded in the ground, they all broke out of the ground.
, bringing the grass and soil together in one place.
In the blink of an eye, there was a stone giant two or three feet tall on the ground.
Even though the city wall is like a cliff, this stone giant is nearly half as high as the city wall.
"what is that?"
All the defenders on the city wall were shocked.
But soon they discovered that the Saibei people attacking the city below were also a little panicked, staring blankly at this extremely tall stone giant, which was as oppressive as a mountain god.
It seems that they have never seen it before.
Not only were the Saibei people panicked, but the bear demon who was climbing on the city wall and grabbed a few defenders in panic also turned around and stared at the stone giant.
"Rumble..."
The stone giant did not hesitate, stepped forward, swung his big arms, and ran towards the city wall.
Because of its huge size, the giant does not seem to be able to run very fast, but in fact, the distance it takes with each step is very far. As it gradually accelerates, the steps are getting faster and faster. Every step on the ground makes a rumble, and the earth also feels the same.
After a tremor, deep pits were left on the grassland. The combination of such movements and sounds really shook the mountain, carrying the potential of a landslide, straight towards the city wall.
When the Saibei people saw this, they were immediately excited and roared.
The defenders on the city wall were very nervous.
"Fire the arrow!"
Many strong bows and powerful crossbows fired volleys at the stone giant, but they only made a sound and were all bounced away.
Only by occasionally hitting the gaps between the stones, the arrows can be temporarily stuck on them, but they will not cause any harm to the stone giants. As the stone giants move around, many of them will fall down. Or they will hit the grass with dirt.
Only in this place can something be knocked off the stone giant.
Even if it is a bed crossbow, it is just a section nailed in.
The stone giant is inanimate and naturally unaffected.
When the soldiers on the city wall saw this, they were even more shocked.
The waist circumference of this thing is probably about the same as its height. It is so huge that even if the city wall is more than four feet high and more than two feet thick, it can be seen that its momentum is so great that everyone can't help but feel...
Even if it is such a city wall, I am afraid it will have to break a gap!
For a moment, he allowed the general to shout as much as he wanted to stabilize the soldiers' morale, when he saw the stone giant running towards him, and all the soldiers on the city wall ran away.
This is no wonder for them——
Not only them, even the ferocious bear demon with crossbow arrows stuck in his body, as if he didn't know the pain and was fearless, quickly stepped aside when he saw the stone giant running towards him.
Unexpectedly, it changed direction, and the stone giant also changed direction. By the time the bear demon reacted and opened its eyes wide, it was unable to avoid it.
"boom!"
The stone giant knocked him to the ground.
He immediately stopped and stopped running, but his running momentum couldn't be stopped immediately. In one moment, several feet of soil was shoveled under the city.
"Wow!"
Taking advantage of his almost twice the height advantage, the stone giant punched the bear demon so that it could not move, and then punched it hard again.
All I heard was a roar!
The earth trembled a little!
Blood splattered on the spot, and the boulders shattered. The hot blood was mixed with the broken stones and the bones of the bear demon. It splashed everywhere. It hit a gap in the city wall and collapsed in all directions. It also attracted the siege troops under the city wall to hug each other.
head to avoid.
By the time the stone giant stood up, the bear demon had fallen to the ground motionless. The huge head was no longer visible, only a deep pit on the ground with a pile of broken flesh and bones.
"Wow..."
The giant also disintegrated instantly and scattered into a pile of rubble.
Seeing this scene, even the fierce battlefield seemed to be quiet for a while.
When they reacted, the defenders on the city wall immediately shouted loudly and attacked more violently, while the siege troops below opened their eyes wide, their livers and gallbladders bursting, and their siege force weakened somewhat.
Some who climbed halfway also fell down.
I don't know how many lives were reduced to scorched earth in one moment.
