The groups of ghost soldiers were motionless, like stone carvings and clay sculptures. If they hadn't witnessed the tragic scene with their own eyes, and if they hadn't been dripping with the blood of the Chu army, everyone would have thought that they were just lifeless statues.
That’s all.
"What's going on? Why wasn't there any news about this before?" King Xiang slapped his palm on the stone table in front of him. The huge stone table turned into powder, and the spiritual energy spread in all directions, making people suffocating.
In the battle just now, the Chu army did not even touch the walls of the Qin Mausoleum, and more than 10,000 people were killed and injured. It is strange that King Xiang is not angry! What he was angry about was not that so many soldiers were killed or injured, but that the defeat made him
His face is dull and if word spreads, the world will laugh at him.
Several senior generals were so frightened that they did not dare to raise their heads, let alone answer casually. They knew that when King Xiang was furious, someone might be in trouble. But no one spoke at this time, which would undoubtedly make King Xiang even more furious.
Cao Kun was regarded as a close minister of King Xiang. When he saw that no one answered, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we have repeatedly interrogated the people nearby. They just know that the Qin Mausoleum is a forbidden area, and they don't dare to do so within a radius of ten miles."
Entered. But didn’t
Some people know that there is a ghost army hidden underground. The Qin people must have done this very secretly, with the purpose of attacking us unexpectedly and catching us by surprise." After saying that, he lowered his head and waited for King Xiang to speak. King Xiang said nothing, and neither did he.
Dare to raise your head.
Mo Di glanced at Yang Zi next to him, asking whether she knew about the ghost army stationed in Qin Ling. Yang Zi shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't know either.
Mo Di suddenly remembered something and turned around and shouted: "Miss Zhao? Miss Zhao?"
Zhao Man'er poked her head out of the back tent and asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Mo Di said: "Where is that kid just now? Bring him over quickly."
Zhao Man'er didn't know what Mo Di wanted to do with this child, so she looked suspicious, but she still led the child out.
This little boy was biting a chicken drumstick in his mouth. The area around his mouth was shiny. His eyes were wide open and he didn't know what was going on. It made people laugh.
Mo Di smiled and touched the top of his head, leaned down and said, "Little brother, can you eat this chicken leg later? Let me ask you something. If you don't lie, I will ask my sister to give you more."
How about eating chicken legs?"
When the little boy heard that there were chicken drumsticks, he nodded happily, but he still couldn't bear to take off the chicken drumstick in his mouth.
Mo Di smiled, took out the chicken legs, put them in the little boy's hands, and said, "Listen to my brother. Do you often herd sheep here?"
The little boy nodded.
Mo Di then asked: "Then you know where there is danger and where there is safety, right?"
The little boy nodded again.
Mo Di was secretly happy, knowing that this child should know some of Qin Ling's secrets. He then asked: "Then tell me, how do you know where is safe and where is dangerous?"
"Where the grass is high, it is safe. Where the grass is short, there are scary things underneath."
After everyone heard this, they all looked into the distance. After a closer look, it was true that the grass here was high and low, in a grid shape, and there seemed to be some pattern, but you couldn't find it unless you looked very carefully. Everyone thought about it for a moment,
They all suddenly understood. In places where hands and feet have been affected, the soil layer is thinner and cannot easily retain water, so the grass grows lower. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to such a simple truth at first, and suffered a big loss in the end.
But Mo Di thinks that things are not that simple. This principle can explain the problem of the trap, but how to explain the ghost army just now?
"Little brother, what happened to those people who emerged from the ground just now?"
"They are all dummies, they won't move at all." When the little boy said this, everyone's attention was focused.
"Dummy? It can't move? How do you know?" Mo Di then asked.
"I've seen it before." The little boy saw that so many people didn't know about this, so he knew it himself and was quite proud.
"Then tell me what's going on, okay?"
"Well. I was grazing sheep here that day, but suddenly it rained heavily, and a piece of the ground was washed away by the water. I saw a light flashing inside, so I went over to look, and saw a colorful human head peeking out. I thought
When I encountered a ghost, I screamed in fright and even fell down. But it didn't move, so I got bold enough to look at it. What do you think it is?"
"What is it?" several people asked in unison.
The boy was startled, seeing so many people staring at him, and leaned closer to Mo Di, not daring to say anything more.
Mo Di comforted him and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Everyone just wants to know what it is?"
The little boy looked at everyone and finally said to Mo Di: "He is just a dummy made of clay."
"Did you see clearly?"
The little boy nodded solemnly and said, "I saw it clearly. I even touched his face. It was all hard, just like the pottery pots at home."
These ghost armies turned out to be pottery figurines, but the pottery figurines were all dead. Why did they have such powerful attack power? Mo Di suddenly remembered that he had seen an introduction to this aspect.
Mo Di saw everyone's doubts, stood up and said: "I know a thing or two about this, and I will tell you. After a spiritual practitioner dies, before he turns into a spirit ghost, if his spiritual core is taken out, then
Build another statue that is exactly like him, seal the spiritual core in it, and you can transfer the spiritual steps to the statue. Then use secret methods to control these statues, and you can create an army that is not afraid of death and will not die."
It was the first time that everyone heard such a statement. Although Mo Di made it clear, everyone was still doubtful.
"How to crack this secret method so that these pottery figurines can no longer attack?" Cao Kun asked.
"These warriors advance and retreat in unison, and there must be a leader. If you want to control these warriors, you must first control this leader. If he is destroyed, all the warriors will lose control and will lose without a fight."
King Xiang nodded and said: "Young Master Mo is indeed very knowledgeable. He must be the leader you mentioned." Following what King Xiang pointed at, there was a tall chariot in the middle of the Qin Terracotta Army.
There is a terracotta warrior dressed as a general.
Mo Di nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, it should be him."
King Xiang stood up, glanced at the dozen generals in front of him, and said, "Generals, who is going to destroy it?"
A general came out of the queue and said loudly: "The last general is willing to go!"
King Xiang saw that he was a general named Long Qie. King Xiang knew that his spiritual rank reached the level of spiritual saint and was the best among these generals. He felt relieved and said: "Okay, General Long, be careful!"
"Long Qie got the order and left.
Mo Di was about to stop King Xiang, but at this time Yang Zi came closer and asked in a low voice: "How do you know this?" Her face was full of suspicion.
Mo Di rubbed his nose with his hand and said: "When I was studying at the Spiritual Training Academy, I once read a miscellaneous book in the Spiritual Library. There were many strange things written in it, and one of them recorded the making of terracotta warriors.
At the time I thought it was just nonsense, but now it seems it might be true."
During the nine years that Mo Di studied at the Spiritual Academy, he read all the books in the Spiritual Library, including some banned books in the inner library. Of course, without the tacit permission of the old dean, he would not have been able to read these books.
The miscellaneous books that Mo Di mentioned just now are the banned books in the inner library.
Yang Zi remained silent, as if he believed it, and stepped aside.
Mo Di looked forward and saw that the Chu army in the distance had returned to normal. Just now, the supervising team killed more than a hundred fleeing soldiers and stabilized the team, preventing the entire team from retreating.
Orders were conveyed to each household level by level, and the soldiers who had run away were returned to the formation, and the entire team gradually returned to its original state.
General Long Qie had already reached the bottom of the hillside, separated from the Chu army, and went straight to the Qin Terracotta Army.
Mo Di originally wanted to stop Long Qie from going, but now it was too late. But he suddenly thought that this might not be a bad thing, so he watched silently, waiting for the result.
Long Qie stopped a hundred feet away from the Qin Terracotta Warriors. This was the defense line of the Terracotta Warriors. If he took another step, the Terracotta Warriors would launch an attack.
Long Qie made the final preparations, determined his direction, and the aura suddenly erupted from his feet, leaping up and rushing toward the Chinese army at extremely fast speeds.
This group of clay sculptures of pottery figurines were instantly injected with vitality, as if they were coming back from the dead, they quickly turned from static, and clusters of crossbow arrows accurately shot at Long Qie.
Long Qie is worthy of being a spiritual saint, and is comparable to the extraordinary Chu army. He used his spiritual energy to cover himself within a foot, and when his crossbows were fired on it, they were all bounced away by the spiritual energy.
Seeing this, Long Qie became more confident, and all the fear in his heart had disappeared, and he rushed forward at a faster speed.
The cavalry figurines also started to activate and charged head-on. These figurines and horses were also infused with the spiritual cores of spiritual beasts. Although they were made of pottery, they did not feel out of place when running, but instead had a shocking momentum.
The moment the two sides approached, Long Qie flew up and pierced the heart of a soldier with the big gun in his hand. Long Qie's gun was filled with spiritual energy, making it almost invincible.
Unexpectedly, the soldier ignored Long Qie's shot and did not take any protective action. Instead, he shot Long Qie with the same shot.
This desperate attack frightened Long Qie, and he hurriedly withdrew his gun to avoid it. But he immediately understood that these were pottery figurines and were lifeless, so there was no need for any protection!
This is the biggest advantage of the Terracotta Warriors. They never care about protection, they only focus on attacking, and attacking again! This is also one of the reasons why they are so powerful.
Long Qie twisted around in the air to avoid the shot, and used the pistol as a stick to hit the figurine horse on the butt.
There was a crisp "snap" sound, and the terracotta horse shattered in response. The terracotta warriors on the horse also fell to the ground, rolled far on the ground, and lost its arm. It wanted to struggle up, but was stopped by someone who followed.
The other figurines were trampled to pieces by horses.
Long Qie was overjoyed. Seeing that the terracotta warriors and horses were not immortal, his confidence became even greater. He jumped up, struck up and down, struck left and right, and destroyed several more terracotta warriors one after another.
In the big tent, King Xiang and all the soldiers were happy when they saw this. As long as these Qin warriors were not immortal, there would be a way to destroy them all.
Mo Di was extremely calm and looked at all this with cold eyes. He believed that things would never be that simple. If the terracotta warriors and horses arrayed by Emperor Qin were so vulnerable, it would not be in line with Emperor Qin's identity and style of doing things!
As expected by Mo Di, several taller terracotta horses rushed out and surrounded Long Qie. The clothes of the terracotta warriors on the horse were different from those of other terracotta warriors. They were dressed like generals.
They launched an attack on Long Qie at the same time. As soon as they took action, everyone saw that their combat power was extraordinary and could not be compared with ordinary soldiers and warriors. They saw that their moves were filled with rich spiritual energy, and their combat power was very powerful.
Long Qie suddenly felt that the pressure had doubled, and he gradually became confused and full of loopholes.
Long Qie barely held on for a while, but the dangers were everywhere and he almost died several times. He finally couldn't withstand the pressure, attacked fiercely for a while, turned around and fled back. When the Qin warriors saw him escaping, they rushed towards Long with a hail of arrows.
In the panic, his spirit energy was not well protected, and he was hit by a crossbow arrow in the shoulder, causing blood to flow out. He endured severe pain, several ups and downs, and jumped out of the attack range of the Qin Terracotta Warriors, thus saving his life.
Long Qie fled back in embarrassment and went to heal his wounds behind the tent. Another young and energetic general asked for orders to fight, but in less than a quarter of an hour, he was killed by soldiers!
It was deathly quiet in the big tent. No one dared to ask for orders to fight again. They all knew their own disadvantages. The dragon could not escape unscathed, let alone himself.
Although King Xiang knew that the Qin Mausoleum was difficult to attack, he did not expect to encounter so many difficulties at the beginning. If the Qin Terracotta Warriors array was not broken, the morale of the entire army would be seriously affected, and it would be even more difficult to capture the Qin Mausoleum.
. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "I'm going to destroy it!"
"Slow down, Your Majesty!" Just as King Xiang was about to move, Mo Di stood up.
"Why, Mr. Mo, what's the matter with you?" King Xiang was stopped at this time, feeling a little unhappy.
Mo Di said: "Your Majesty, I want to give it a try!" (To be continued)
