The wind in the air carried the smell of blood. The color of the land in the uninhabited wilderness seemed a little red.
Gai Nie smelled something abnormal here, and the hand holding the sword tightened suddenly.
Wei Zhuang also noticed that the shark-tooth sword was trembling slightly with this heavy uneasiness when he set foot on the land of Nanyang.
"There is an extraordinary fear."
Xiang Liang was not as sensitive as Zong and Heng. He pointed his sword straight ahead and ordered the whole army: "Attack and capture Nanyang."
Xiang Liang raised troops from Kuaiji County and raised the banner of the Xiang clan of Chu State. He then occupied Jiujiang County and re-established Xiong Xin as King Huai of Chu. He named himself Lord Wu Xin as his assistant. People from the old land of Chu State came to seek refuge one after another, and their power increased.
Growing rapidly.
Xiang Chu naturally has a very good strategic vision. Xiang Liang himself is not a fool, and he has collaborators like Wei Zhuang around him.
To the north of Jiujiang County are Sishui County and Chen County, which are now the territory of Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang. They are both anti-Qin forces, and Xiang Liang cannot attack them at this time.
Therefore, Nanyang County in the northwest direction was his further target. Taking over this key piece of land in Nanyang would bring many benefits.
However, they are about to miscalculate.
Soon, the army entered a city without encountering any enemies along the way. Not even a living creature was seen along the way.
"This is an empty city."
Ge Nie jumped up to the tower in twos and twos, stood on the highest roof, and stared at the deathly silence in the city.
Wei Zhuang's white eyebrows were deeply furrowed, his eyes were extremely solemn, and he continued what Gai Nie said: "And it was an empty city that was massacred."
Nowadays, there are many heroes in the world. Who doesn't know the importance of population? What's the use of winning a city without population?
Moreover, once the city is massacred, it will be reviled, and it will be easy for other forces to seize the evidence and attack it in groups. How could anyone want to massacre the city?
Does anyone have any deep hatred...
"ah!"
"Monster! Monster!"
"Kill~"
There was a sudden commotion in the city, and the soldiers entering the city seemed to have encountered something. Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang looked at each other and immediately flew over.
A group of soldiers, more than a dozen of them, used the weapons in their hands to pin two "black men" in ragged clothes to the wall.
But the two "black men" did not lose their lives. They continued to wave their arms and make strange sounds.
"What is this?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know."
"I just saw him, he seemed to be eating people."
"It's so scary. Could it be that everyone here is..."
It was clear that more than a dozen people had subdued the two monsters, but fear was growing uncontrollably in their hearts.
Wei Zhuang rushed to the scene and was shocked when he saw the two dead people still moving. He frowned and immediately swung the shark-tooth sword with sword energy.
A sword cut his throat and his head fell to the ground.
The dead man finally stopped moving.
Gai Nie also struck out with a sword, but he controlled the force, and Yuan Hong's sharp sword tip passed through, slitting the throat of the remaining man.
If it were a normal person, there would be no life left under this sword. But the unknown thing in front of me was not seriously injured, and it was still struggling, trying to break out of the suppression.
Ge Nie stabbed out several more swords in succession.
Wei Zhuang looked at it and nodded clearly, "It seems that ordinary injuries cannot have an effect. Only cutting him off can make him completely quiet."
"Is this the murderer who caused all this in Nanyang? Such a large number..."
Ge Nie sheathed his sword, closed his eyes, and mourned deeply.
Along the way, there were hundreds of miles of bare ground with no trace of life. Corpses were everywhere in the city, and the traces of battles on the battlefield were visible to the naked eye.
The Qin army defending the city encountered a one-sided massacre here.
Then, the city was massacred.
Is it an army composed of monsters like this? Then...
Gai Nie thought of the previous rumors.
An overlord Xiang Yu emerged from Lingnan. In one battle, he killed Tu Sui, the general of Qin's southern expedition, and caused the 400,000-strong southern expedition to collapse.
Those defeated soldiers fled to various places. They said that under the command of Overlord Xiang Yu, they were such devil-like monsters.
Overlord Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, this name really makes people care.
Wei Zhuang also suspected this.
"Brother, do you remember Xiang Shaoyu in Yaowang Valley?"
Previously in Yaowang Valley, the fifteen-year-old Xiang Shaoyu suddenly went crazy and his strength increased greatly. He not only injured his uncle Xiang Liang, but also tried to kill the ten-year-old Jing Tianming, whom he had never met before.
Chen Xiao, the sword master of Zhanlu, insisted that Xiang Shaoyu committed murder consciously and not out of madness, so the scene was very unhappy at that time.
Later, when the adults left Yaowang Valley, Xiang Shaoyu assassinated Jing Tianming again.
Xiang Shaoyu and Zhong Limei didn't know what kind of power they had gained. Their strength increased greatly and they almost killed Jing Ke and Jing Tianming's father and son.
Fortunately, there was a senior Confucian Mr. Chen De in the Yaowang Valley who was able to expel Xiang Shaoyu.
Since then, Xiang Shaoyu has disappeared.
The above are all just words they heard when they returned to Yaowang Valley after participating in the Langya assassination.
At that time, I just thought it was strange and weird, and even wondered if Yaowang Gu had made up the story. Looking back now, I was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
There are still some horrors unknown to mankind in this world.
"Xiao Zhuang, it seems we need to go back to Yaowang Valley and ask Mr. Chen Xiao. He holds the Zhan Lu Sword and seems to know some secrets. Also, that young man, Jing Tianming."
Gai Nie opened his eyes, and there was a strange sadness in his cold eyes.
…
Xiang Chu's army entered Nanyang, and the news was quickly learned by the Demon Lord.
His current name is "Overlord Xiang Yu", which seems to conflict with the Xiang clan's name.
But no matter who he is, it makes no difference to him. He just needs to carry out the devil's will and slaughter the Central Plains.
The Qin State directly killed everyone. The anti-Qin forces also killed everyone.
Seeing that Xiang Liang seemed to have a lot of thoughts about Nanyang, the Demon Lord immediately ordered his army and went straight to where Xiang Liang was.
…
In Xianyang City, the flag of the Golden Fire Cavalry was flying at the top of the city. The bright colors slightly dispelled the dullness and heaviness in the air.
"Look! There's someone!"
"Be on guard~"
There was a sudden formation of horse hooves in the distance, but judging from the smoke and dust, this team should not be large in number.
The elite soldiers did not take any chances. They lined up their bows and arrows on the top of the city. They also lined up nervously under the city gate, ready to close the city gate at any time.
"Drive! Drive~"
The flag of Daqin with black characters on a red background, the leading general raised his sword high, and his thick, hoarse voice echoed in the sky.
"I am General Li Zuoche, and the military situation is like a fire. Anyone who stands in my way will die."
"The military situation is like fire, anyone who stands in my way will die~"
"General Li Zuoche, it is indeed him."
"Look at the sword in his hand, it is indeed the Zhenyue Divine Sword!"
"this……"
It seems that Li Zuoche doesn't know that Xianyang City has changed its owner. Do you want to intercept it?
The guard at the city gate was a little speechless about this. It seemed not good to let him go, as he was suspected of neglecting his duty.
But the interception, the urgent military situation Li Zuoche mentioned, must also be the urgent military situation of Da Qin.
He only brought such a small number of troops, and if he didn't intercept, it should be fine.
"Come here, hurry up and inform the eldest son and General Meng first."
