Chapter 10 Section VII

A crescent moon passed through the clouds, and Gu Yueyi used the moonlight to slowly climb up the city wall without using a torch.This section of the city wall was guarded by the Northern Shanxi Legion, and the headed centurion rushed up to salute, Gu Yueyi nodded slightly at him.The city is also setting up pots for cooking, and the porridge is already boiling.Gu Yueyi walked to the side of the pot, reached out and picked up the stirring wooden spoon and stirred it out of the rice soup, only a handful of rice covered the bottom of the spoon.This pot is said to be porridge, but it is thin rice soup.

Gu Yueyi frowned, but did not speak. The centurion was an old soldier, he knew what he meant, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Everyone still has two coarse wheat pancakes, and the brothers in the upper city have one more horse meat, thanks to those dead war horses. But there is not enough rice, There are only two carts left in total, and it will be empty in five days. We all eat rice in northern Shanxi, and the rice is not durable, and most of them were burned by Li Jun, and the ones that were snatched out were pitiful. .” "Before Li Gong leaves, the fire is burning...it's really embarrassing to win." Gu Yueyi said, "Fortunately, there are still enough oats, so I don't have to worry about running out of food."

"Oats... that's what horses eat," said the centurion. "There is only so little food left, and the supply is far away. If there is no these oats, I will really panic." Gu Yueyi sighed, and patted the rough battlements. It was cold and the stones touched it. It's also cold.He looked out of the city, and there was a flat and open wasteland sandwiched between the mountains on both sides. There was a forest extending from the foot of the mountain in the far distance. Looking at the forest at night, the forest was just dark. Listening quietly, it seemed that he could still hear the wind blowing The rustle through the leaves.

"The general said that supplies are far away?" The centurion became worried. Gu Yueyi shook his head: "The latest batch of supplies did not catch up. This time, the two countries responsible for supplying the army rations and livestock are Chu Wei and Xia Tang. A few days ago, the army reported that Chu Wei's supplies were broken out on the road. Li's army robbed and killed all the food and burned it on the spot, and almost no one survived. It is too far to go to Tang, and they need at least ten days to supply." "The Nanmanzi is really a beast. When he broke through the siege, he still burned, killed and looted all the way, as if his soldiers were not at all scattered." The centurion licked his lips, hesitating a little, "General, I don't know if it's appropriate to ask a sentence... ..."

"You say, it's okay." "We defeated Ying Wuyi this time, and we are also the heroes of King Qin. It is said that Tianqi City is close at hand, so we can't supply it from the imperial capital? Didn't you say that the royal missions are here today?" The centurion smiled, " To be honest, the brothers still want to go to Beijing to see. I heard that the prosperity of Tianqi City is the city of ten thousand cities. Compared with it, the autumn leaves are like the countryside. My family even asked me to buy some small things from the imperial capital When we go back, we will send them off to our relatives and friends, knowing that our coming out this time is a triumphant victory. Being able to enter the imperial capital is a matter of pride for us to boast about."

"I've never been to the imperial capital, and I want to visit it too...but I did meet the imperial envoy. In the afternoon, the imperial envoy came to my barracks and rewarded me with jade, gold coupons, and the official's uniform, but did not provide any supplies. As for the matter of going to Beijing for pilgrimage, we still have to talk about it, and we have to wait for the Qin Tianjian to observe the sky and select an auspicious day before we can make a decision." Gu Yueyi gathered up his battle clothes, sat on the ground, and threw a wooden branch under the pot.The fire shone on his young face, and his expression was indifferent, "Even though the jade bi, gold certificate and dress are very good, it's a pity that they can't be used as medicine or food."

The centurion was silent for a while, and understood the meaning of Gu Yueyi's words: "We are also serious teachers who work hard..." "The death of a subject for the emperor is regarded as a matter of course. The emperor does not think that you are indebted to the royal family. What you do only proves your loyalty. Whether the royal family agrees to the supply and whether to summon it is another matter. It's another matter." Gu Yueyi twitched her nose, and the faint scent of rice soup began to fill the air, "Is the porridge ready? I'll eat a bowl with you."

"It's very rare..." The centurion rubbed his hands, "I'm afraid the general has been wronged." "There is no grievance. Now that I am returning to the camp, I am afraid that the fire will be cut off. I can't let the soldiers cook for me anymore. I didn't mean to get close to the soldiers. In my main camp, there are also porridge and two coarse wheat noodles Pancakes." Gu Yueyi smiled, her young face full of indifference. The sergeants gathered around, and there were more than fifty people left in the team led by the centurion, sitting around the pot one by one.The centurion sat beside Gu Yueyi, and unwrapped a coarse cloth bag, inside was a pile of rough pancakes and some two-finger-wide strips of dried horse meat.Gu Yueyi was present, and the soldiers all seemed restrained, muffled and silent.The centurion asked them to pass on the pancakes and horsemeat rims, each with one piece of dried meat and two pancakes.When it was passed to the last sergeant, there were only two breads and a piece of jerky left. This was his portion, and there was no extra dry food prepared in the first place.If he takes it again, he can only hand over a piece of coarse cloth to Gu Yueyi.He was holding these things, as if he was holding a big problem, not knowing what to do.It was still a young sergeant, quite handsome, about sixteen or seventeen years old, sweat was almost dripping from his white forehead.

Seeing his dazed look, Gu Yueyi smiled suddenly, took the coarse cloth from his hand, and slapped the coarse wheat flour pancakes and dried meat sticks in his palm. He laughed loudly: "Look at your lackluster appearance! I am the commander of the northern Jin army, and I brought five thousand Izumo cavalry here to serve as the king, and I will be angry with you and demote you because you don't divide my pancakes?" After a moment of silence, only the sound of the wind and the crackling of firewood under the pot could be heard.Then someone laughed, and the centurion suddenly laughed, as if a taut string broke because of Gu Yueyi's loud laugh, so there was no taboo anymore.Men in northern Shanxi live in the cold northern country. They like to gather in taverns late at night, gather around a furnace of fish soup or broth, drink a glass of soju to drive away the cold, and talk loudly through their drunkenness. Take the opportunity to become brotherly.At this time, these sergeants relaxed as if they were sitting in a tavern in their hometown. Several people stabbed the embarrassed young sergeant with sheathed knives to make fun of him. Take porridge from the pot.

The centurion handed Gu Yueyi his pancakes and horse meat.Gu Yueyi pushed back and smiled: "I don't have any shortages. When the imperial envoy came to the camp, he accompanied him to drink a cup of tea from the imperial capital and eat the secret snacks made by the Taiqing Palace." Knowing Gu Yueyi's character, the centurion was not restrained, and smiled along with him: "The dim sum in Taiqing Palace must be delicious." "It is said that it was given by the emperor, and it took three days to get here. It was already done." Gu Yueyi smiled wryly, "I am willing to use the ingredients, the honey stuffing is so sweet that I drink tea with all my might. "

"Everyone eats their own food, I have nothing serious to tell everyone, don't worry about me." Gu Yueyi greeted. The sergeants laughed out loud. The night wind whirled past the city, the banner of Snow Chrysanthemum fluttered in the air, and the flames under the pot were blown away, like a frightened spirit.But the men in northern Shanxi who were having dinner didn't care at all. They patted their shoulders and talked about various irrelevant topics. They are about to retire from the army and go back to the village to marry the most beautiful woman in the village. They gulp down the hot porridge and rush to fill up a bowl. They form a circle, and the body temperature of the men seems to be able to separate the cold from the wind. This circle is as masculine as iron, even if there are some man-eating monsters hiding in the wind, they can't invade the territory of these men. "It's been a few years since I ate like this." Gu Yueyi drank the porridge, watching his subordinates lost in thought, "I do miss when I was a pawn in Zhenlian Town." "The general is joking, you are our general in northern Jin. The lord said that he will be you after him, and northern Jin has not seen anyone who can make a move in more than ten years." The centurion said. Lei Qianye, the lord of Jinbei Kingdom, was originally just a general, the pillar of the Jinbei Kingdom.The Qiu family, Marquis of Northern Jin of the previous generation, intended to collude with Ningzhou Yuren to rebel against the royal family. Lei Qianye informed the royal family and assisted Li Guohou Ying Wuyi, who was still a loyal minister of the royal family at that time, and the coalition forces formed by several other countries to attack the Jin Dynasty. Akiba Mountain City, the capital of the Northern Kingdom, quelled the Qiu Clan's rebellion, thereby gaining the emperor's trust and inheriting the Qiu Clan's power.It has been hundreds of years in the Yin Dynasty that there has never been such a person with an inferior surname who has won a fief and a title for meritorious service. This legendary event shocked the entire Eastern Continent. "That's the reputation of the king helping me, I can't really believe it." Gu Yueyi shook her head, "I remember when I was in Zhenlian Town, I dreamed of becoming a general in my dreams, I felt that I shouldn't be a pawn, but I was not afraid of anything Every night, we drank porridge and ate dry food like this, and sometimes had a little wine, making a fuss with the smell of alcohol. At that time, our small team was only responsible for guarding against bandits and reporting in time. If bandits came, we couldn’t defend them at all. Yes. But when the robbers will come, no one knows. Maybe when I wake up, my head is gone. But I am not afraid, and I don’t think about anything. I just think that the bandits are here and these brothers are with me, and I still have a bow in my hand. .” He laughed self-deprecatingly: "But now that the commander-in-chief has thousands of people, his courage is getting smaller and smaller, as if he has been dragged down by his reputation. These days, I don't know why, and I feel a little uneasy." "The general said... uneasy?" The centurion was puzzled. "It is said that we are absolutely safe here, but do you remember that old man on a black horse who appeared in the city that night before we entered the city?" Gu Yueyi said here, feeling a chill slowly invading his battle chest. Yi, "With people like General Bai and General Xi, it's really scary to think about how people like General Bai and General Xi can't keep him. I looked at him, and for some reason, I felt familiar." "Familiar?" The centurion widened his eyes, "The general knows him?" "No, I don't know, it's a feeling." Gu Yueyi whispered, "Like when I became famous, when Li Changgen's army surrounded me, I was shot by an arrow, and I couldn't even stand up. At that time I really thought I was going to die after shooting that arrow. Facing the old man on the black horse, I also shot an arrow, and that’s how I felt the moment I shot the arrow.” The centurion also felt the chill in Gu Yueyi's words, and he was also one of the people who witnessed it that night.He took a big gulp of the porridge, trying to drive away the chill with the warmth of the porridge.A few birdsongs were heard from a distance, slightly shrill, the centurion was taken aback for a moment, got up with the porridge bowl and walked to the battlement. "What?" Gu Yueyi walked behind him and asked. "General, look at the sky." The centurion pointed to the midair, staring intently at the birds circling in midair. "That bird is a night owl." "Night owl?" "It's a carrion bird. It's all black and it screams like someone is crying. My family used to be a hunter and lived in the woods. But if we accidentally shot this kind of bird, we would throw it away. eat." Gu Yueyi was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Eating dead people, right?" "Yes, so there are the most on the battlefield. This kind of bird seems to sense where a big battle is going to happen, and will wait nearby. If there is a dead person, it will pounce on it and eat meat. Our locals say that it is the murderous and dead spirit that can call it. It must have been there before the war, and it can feel it. It’s all country people’s words, general, don’t mind my nonsense, but,” the centurion shook his head, “I always feel that someone nearby is watching us. " "Someone? Looking at us?" Gu Yueyi was startled, looking outside the city, there was only a wasteland full of corpses, and the swaying dark forest far away.He concentrated, and heard the rustling sound of the wind passing through the leaves again, from time to time, on the battlefield outside the city, the armored gun was still standing straight, poking the dead man's head on it. "These night owls have been unwilling to come down. There are so many dead people, but they are flying around in the sky, as if they are reluctant and afraid, and dare not come down to eat meat." The centurion said. "Perhaps the Li army left scouts behind, maybe hiding nearby, did you send someone to explore the woods ahead?" "The subordinates sent someone to look for it, but they found nothing." The centurion said, "However, the scouts can't scare the night owl. On the battlefield, sometimes it is still fighting here, and it dares to fly over there." Come down and peck at the corpse. Unless there is a huge army hiding nearby, we country people say that night owls are afraid of the anger of the living." "The air of a living person?" Gu Yueyi was taken aback. A heavy impact sound suddenly came from below, and the soldiers sitting around the fire suddenly silenced the sound.They are all the most elite Izumo cavalry shooters, even recruits have the most keen sense of hearing, and can determine whether the arrow has shot into a tree, armor or human body by the sound of hitting the target.This voice came from below, and below was the gate of Shangyang Pass.The heavy thud repeats slowly, like...someone knocking on the door. Gu Yueyi clasped his waist knife: "Are there any brothers down here who haven't come up to eat?" The centurion clasped his waist knife just like him, pursed his lips tightly, and shook his head slowly. The heavy knocking on the door continued, one after another, shaking people's hearts numb. Gu Yueyi cautiously leaned half of his body out of the battlements, trying to see the situation outside the city gate clearly.But he couldn't see clearly in the night, the moonlight was blocked by the city wall, and it was pitch black in front of the city gate.Gu Yueyi couldn't find any signs that there were people active there. Although it was cold these days, the corpses outside the city were gradually emitting a strange smell. The soldiers were reluctant to go out of the city, and there was a dead place outside the city.But the crashing sound continued, as if someone was indeed there. "Go down and have a look." He put down the porridge bowl in his hand. More than fifty soldiers drew out the horn bows around their waists, and silently followed behind Gu Yueyi.They quickly went down to the city and formed a half-moon formation behind the city gate. This is one of the strongest bow and arrow formations. When arrows rain from the half-moon formation to a target, the enemy will be attacked from all directions. Totally defenseless.Izumo riding and shooting are absolutely sure, their bows are very hard, and more than fifty sharp arrows can shoot any enemy back in the first instant. "Xuan Yi." Gu Yueyi whispered. The sergeants pointed their arrows at the ground, half-drawn their horned bows, and put their hands holding the arrow feathers to their cheeks. "full moon." The sergeants moved their bows neatly, and the more than fifty bows all focused on one point in the gap between the city gates. The impact sound continued, slowly and muffled.The sergeants looked at each other, and the sound made them feel very uncomfortable, as if there was a strange rhythm in their minds that kept repeating, booming and booming. "I'll go and open the door." The handsome young sergeant stood up. The centurion hesitated for a moment, he didn't know what was outside the city gate, maybe it was a wild beast or something, but such a thing made people feel uneasy, and he couldn't bear to let this young man with junior qualifications open the gate.However, he still nodded. No matter what the young man brought it up, he couldn't use his youth as an excuse not to let him go, and in front of the coach, everyone needed a chance to perform. "Be careful, open a slit, and immediately dodge to the side. Whatever it is, it will be shot through." The centurion urged. The young man nodded vigorously and walked up slowly, holding a torch.It was the first time he performed in front of the coach, he was not frightened, he just wanted to do it better.He had already figured it out, as soon as the copper mechanism of the city gate was opened, and the city gate opened a crack, he would immediately throw the torch out, so that no matter what was outside, his eyes would be dazzled, at this moment he flashed Open, the brothers behind will solve it all with one salvo. This city gate is new, and the old city gate has been destroyed by rhino horns.That is to say, from this city gate, the Mighty King Ying Wuyi went out to fight on horseback, destroying Xijiao Chong and the entire Xia Tang phalanx with his own strength, and the wreckage of Xijiao Chong still remains outside the city gate. The young man pulled the trigger hard. This thing was dismantled from the old city gate. It has been used for more than a hundred years, and it still works well.The gears were clenched and turned slowly, and the copper wedge that locked the city gate was pulled out.The city gate creaked and opened slowly.The young man was staring at the crack of the door, like aiming at a target when practicing bow and arrow.The moment the gap in the door widened enough for the torch to pass through, he pushed the torch through the gap. He tried to get out of the way, but something was moving faster than his torch.He heard the sound of metal breaking through the air, and a long weapon pierced through the crack of the door, knocking away the torches he threw, piercing his battle suit, shattering his breastbone, and The whole chest runs through! The Jinbei sergeants who Zhang Gong was guarding could not see clearly and had no time to react. They only heard a heavy sound, as if someone kicked hard on the city gate with a foot wearing iron boots, and the young sergeant froze in front of the city gate.The gate of the city opened with that kick, and the young man's torch fell to the ground, sparks scattered, illuminating his figure.His figure was suspended in the air, and a burly figure outside the door lifted the young man up into the air with a long weapon. Everyone could see the weapon clearly. It was a giant armored spear used by the spearmen of the Chuwei State Mountain Formation. This terrifying weapon once built the steel thorns that blocked the Red Army. "Polu!" Gu Yueyi roared. He didn't have time to think about why there was a Chu Weiguo sergeant outside the door, but this man killed one of his subordinates, and he felt a huge danger in front of him.He is a cavalry archer, and he believes that with the horn bow in his hand, all dangers will be wiped out with arrow rain at the earliest opportunity. More than fifty sharp arrows whizzed and flew out, the distance was very close, and all the arrows hit.No one can withstand such an impact, even a running bull will be shot backwards.The burly figure was no exception. He was shot like a hedgehog, fell heavily to the ground, and the spear that pierced the young man also fell to the ground. The cavalry archers took their arrows again, but they didn't dare to relax their vigilance, no one knew if there were still people hiding outside.When they put the second arrow on the bowstring, there was a strange sound from outside.At first glance, it sounded like the sound of the wind, and it also made people think that it was a dozen people breathing heavily at the same time, trying to lift something up.The sergeants drew their horn bows fully, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.The situation was too weird, and panic overwhelmed everything. "Get out of the way, general!" the centurion suddenly roared. With a leap, he pushed Gu Yueyi out.At the same time, a huge black shadow "huh" flew into the city gate across the sky, and the wind it brought up showed that it was extremely heavy, and it could not be stopped by manpower.It landed, but didn't stop, rolled on the ground and rolled towards the soldiers at an extremely fast speed.It was too late for the sergeants to disperse, the thing rolled over the human body, and the people crushed by it were bloody and bloody, and could only let out a brief wail. Gu Yueyi only took one look and understood.It was a giant mallet charged by a rhinoceros horn, with an iron chain cut off by Ying Wuyi's Ba Saber. It was originally outside the city, and a dozen soldiers could not move it, but now, someone threw it in. Gu Yueyi jumped up, and the centurion also jumped up. There was no time to take care of the dead and injured. The first thing to do was to make up for the mistakes.There are still people outside the city gate, although they don't know where those enemies came from.They shouldn't have opened the door, and now the remaining manpower is hard to suppress a small-scale attack, so the door must be closed at any cost! Before Gu Yueyi had time to rush out, the whistling of the feather arrow had already rushed towards his face, and he could almost feel the air current stirred up by the arrowhead. This is a powerful arrow shot from outside the city gate, no worse than Izumo's arrow.Gu Yueyi bowed his head and squatted down, the arrow brushed through his hair, and a few strands of hair were cut off.Gu Yueyi was covered in cold sweat, and understood how terrifying his opponent was.The strength and accuracy of that arrow was impeccable, Gu Yueyi relied on ten years of hard training in bow and arrow, and relying on intuition to escape from death. But he didn't even have a chance to catch his breath, the second arrow had already arrived in front of him!Gu Yueyi didn't even think about it, swiped the saber at the waist, and the second arrow broke in two.He turned his head slightly, and saw the first arrow nailed into a cart carrying horse hay behind him, the tail of the arrow buzzed, and the force of the arrow could be imagined.This is the "double-linked pearl" in archery, and it is the essence of extreme esotericism. It is rarely taught even in Izumo riding and archery.The first arrow is only to suppress the enemy, and the real killer is hidden in the second arrow with almost no interruption. "Close the door!" Gu Yueyi turned around and shouted at the sergeant who dodged the giant hammer. The exit of the roar was interrupted immediately, and the sound of the arrow whistling came to Gu Yueyi again.The moment he looked back, the third arrow was already approaching the back of his head. The triple bead, the miracle of archery that Gu Yueyi had only heard of, was right in front of his eyes. The first arrow that he dodged and the second arrow that fell were just traps, and the murderous third arrow struck when his whole body was slightly relaxed.Confused, confused again, and then killed by poison, the opponent wanted to kill him as if playing tricks.The waist knife is in hand, but the moment the power appears empty, it is too late to slash again.Gu Yueyi made a decision in an instant, he raised his hand and threw away the waist knife, turned around suddenly, and took a step towards the feather arrow! The scorching blood covered the shaft of the arrow! The blood came from Gu Yueyi's palm.Throwing away her weapon, Gu Yueyi had time to grab the arrow shaft with her bare hands.He is proficient in archery, and his calculation of speed and arrow path is completely accurate.But the strength in his hand couldn't support him to take the arrow completely, the strength on the arrow was too strong, he grabbed it with all his strength, but the feather arrow was pulled away.The entire layer of skin on the palm of his hand was scraped off, but Gu Yueyi still held the arrow dead, and the arrow drove his hand into the soil around him. "Close the city gate!" Gu Yueyi yelled again. The remaining Izumo cavalry and archers rushed out. They had no horses, and they had no time to draw their bows and arrows. They could only rely on the more or less decorative waist knives around their waists and their own flesh and blood to seal the door.The young sergeant's torch was thrown at the gate of the city. Through the light of the torch, the Izumo cavalry and archers saw the enemies standing up in the night.Their movements were stiff, but they moved quickly, and they were charging towards the city gate.At first they seemed to be disguised as corpses, avoiding the eyes of the Jinbei Army.The face of the leader is not clear, what is clear is his burly figure and the huge double horns on his head.It was the attire only for the famous warriors in the Li National Army. Such headgear made them look ferocious like wild beasts.The weapon in his hand is also the favorite square-mouthed saber of the people of the Li Kingdom. The huge blade and serrated blade can undoubtedly completely destroy the enemy in one blow. Right at the city gate, the Izumo cavalry shooter who rushed to the front almost hit the Liguo samurai head-on.He was not as heavy as the opponent, and was immediately knocked out.The second follow-up Izumo Qishe had just raised his saber, and had already lost his chance. His companion who rushed in front was knocked back and hit him hard.The Liguo warrior took a step forward, swung his saber horizontally, and cut the third man in half. The remaining cavalry archers bypassed the enemy and went directly to push the city gate.A few more people swung their knives at the Liguo warrior. The two knives successfully hacked into his shoulders, but it was as if they had hit wood. The knives were stuck by the strong muscles on his shoulders and could no longer be pushed forward. .The Liguo warrior acted like he was not afraid of pain at all, he swung his knife with one hand and his palm with the other, and knocked out all the people. Those who were hit by him had no chance of survival.He threw himself on a cavalry archer who was still howling on the ground, and chopped off his head with a single blow. Gu Yueyi knew that it was useless to rush up to rescue him, so he tore off a corner of his battle suit and wrapped it tightly around his hand.The pain in the palm was too severe and would affect his aim, but he only had one arrow.He didn't think of fighting when he came out, he just brought a bow, and he caught the arrow.He must finish this enemy with this arrow. The attacks of the cavalry and archers bought time, and the city gate slowly closed. The centurion had already been waiting by the side, and flew forward to trigger the gate.The gears spun with difficulty, and the copper wedge was slowly pushed out, closing the door.The burly Liguo warrior seemed to realize that he had made a mistake at this moment, and he turned to attack the cavalry and archers who closed the doors.No one can stop him even for a moment, and the person who took over from him will immediately die under his brutal knife. Before the copper wedges were fully in place, there was a frenzied banging sound outside the gate, and later enemies tried to open the gate.Only the centurion was left at the gate of the city, but he didn't even look at the Liguo warrior, he just turned the mechanism desperately with both hands. The Liguo warrior rushed towards the centurion. Gu Yueyi's bow was already full. The copper wedge was pushed to the end. The centurion turned to face the alien warrior. All this was done at the same instant, when the square-headed sword fell from the centurion's neck, splitting him in half.The centurion also drew his saber and slashed out, he didn't slash at the Liguo warrior, he cut off the handle of the machine Kuo! "General, go!" The centurion's terrified and desperate roar traversed the night sky. Following his roar, the bronze bell in Shangyang Pass rang.This is an attack warning, and it seems that there are not only enemies here.The door has been sealed and the mechanism has been destroyed. Unless there is a sharp weapon like a rhinoceros horn to break through the city gate, it will not take a moment to get in.But Gu Yueyi still couldn't figure out what happened. He wanted to save his subordinates, but it was difficult for him to draw a bow with his injured hand.He was the only one left here, standing in the thick darkness and bloody smell. The centurion's dying roar conveyed great fear and was also a warning.He called for the general to leave quickly, he had already seen Gu Yueyi stretching his bow and shooting an arrow, but he actually told Gu Yueyi to flee quickly.The centurion didn't believe that Gu Yueyi's arrow could do anything. This string of thoughts flashed through Gu Yueyi's mind like a storm, but Gu Yueyi didn't move.He watched the Liguo warrior wearing horned helmet slowly turn around to face him, the distance between them was only fifty paces.The other party should be able to see him stretching his bow and shooting an arrow, but he has no intention of avoiding it.The Liguo warrior stood silently, holding a knife, like a beast with sharp teeth looking at its prey. Gu Yueyi dismissed the idea of ​​evacuating, he was only fifty steps away from the enemy, at this distance, Gu Yueyi had never lost his target since joining the army. The warriors from Liguo suddenly rushed over.Gu Yueyi felt the power rushing from his arm to his fingertips.This is the moment when the mind is most concentrated, and all the pain is forgotten at this time.The tip of the arrow whizzed off the string and hit the target with a crisp crackling sound.The sound came from the Liguo warrior's forehead, and the arrowhead pierced into the center of his brow with a shaft at least half a foot long.The sound of the arrow being hit was very clear, it was the arrowhead that pierced through his skull after cutting off the forehead iron on the horn helmet. Gu Yueyi retreated a few steps as if he had collapsed, he tried his best with this arrow. The Liguo warrior hadn't fallen yet, he was lifted up to the sky by the force of the arrow, and the square sword in his hand fell to the ground.He stood there fixedly, his body swayed, and he was so weak that he was about to fall on his back.Gu Yueyi hesitated for a moment, wanting to step forward to have a look. But when Gu Yueyi saw the next scene, his confidence and courage collapsed together.The Li Guo warrior who was hit by the arrow braced his legs and stopped.Like a person waking up from a dream, he touched the feather arrow stuck between his eyebrows with his fingers, then slowly turned his head and looked around.With the light of the torch on the ground, Gu Yueyi clearly saw a stream of black blood dripping from the end of the arrow shaft, and the warrior's eyes were strangely gray and white, without a trace of pain. Finally, his eyes fell on Gu Yueyi again.He bent down to pick up the saber on the ground, and rushed towards Gu Yueyi again. "Unkillable!" Gu Yueyi couldn't believe his eyes, he even forgot to run and resist, watching the enemy approaching.He suddenly understood why the centurion just wanted him to go.When the centurion faced the enemy at close range, he realized that this enemy was impossible to kill, even with Gu Yueyi's arrow. The rapidly advancing enemy did not notice his feet.He tripped over the giant mallet, his movements were not flexible, and he staggered and fell to the ground.He ran quickly, but his movements were not flexible. He moved his arms on the ground trying to support his body, but like a newborn child, he always lost his center of gravity and failed to stand up several times.Gu Yueyi suddenly came back to his senses, he threw away the horn bow, turned around and ran wildly.The desire to survive supported him. He heard footsteps behind him. The warrior had stood up and was chasing him at an extremely fast speed.Gu Yueyi didn't look back, just ran, ran, ran like crazy!A moment's hesitation would have cost him his life at the sword of the samurai behind him. He felt blood pouring into his legs, and his mind went blank.He heard the alarm bells of the camps ringing continuously, the silent camps were lit with fire, the whole pass was awakening, and the enemy who came from nowhere controlled the rhythm in the darkness.There is only one road in front of him, and behind him is the sound of approaching footsteps. Everything around him is like a huge black wall that is collapsing and is about to press down on him. He wants to open his mouth to shout, but he can't utter a word sound. At this time, his hearing was surprisingly sharp, Gu Yueyi heard the deep and slow breathing behind him, and also smelled the disgusting smell of the enemy.The enemy was almost close to his back, Gu Yueyi heard the sharp wind above his head, he knew it was the sword being raised. "I'm going to die." Gu Yueyi thought to himself. He stopped suddenly and turned around!He has no weapons and no chance of resistance at all, but he wants to see this opponent with his own eyes. He met a pair of gray eyes, and the square-headed sword was whistling down on the top of his head.There was no expression on the gray face of the enemy, his lip was damaged, and half of it was torn off, exposing bloodless gums and black teeth.Gu Yueyi had never seen such a hideous face, it didn't look like a living person at all. A black shadow brushed past Gu Yueyi, and the Fangkou Man knife fell to the ground, missing the ancient Yueyi by half a foot.The black shadow arrow shot towards him, but with a force far greater than that of the arrow, it hit Li Guo's warrior in the chest, pushed him back, and nailed him firmly to the ground.But he didn't die, and he didn't howl, just like when he tripped over the giant mallet, he moved his hands and legs, looking for a point of strength around him, and he was still trying to stand up. Cold sweat drenched Gu Yueyi's inner garment. When he turned his head, he saw a black war horse galloping towards him like a gust of wind.And the weapon that nailed the Liguo warrior was an iron halberd, thrown by a man on horseback. "General Xi!" Gu Yueyi recognized the person coming. Xi Yan stopped Mo Xue who was running wildly, and instead of answering Gu Yueyi, he pulled out the ancient sword Jingdu from his waist.He jumped off the horse and ran towards the warrior who was nailed to the ground but was still struggling. He stabbed the Liguo warrior's left chest with his sword behind his back, and then twisted the hilt of the sword.Gu Yueyi knew that such a sword would surely crush the enemy's heart.The Liguo warrior's struggle finally came to an end, his hands and feet limp limply.It turned out that he was not unkillable. A few more war horses came galloping, all elite Fenghu Cavalry, led by Cheng Kui himself.Cheng Kui turned the horse around, and the horse neighed. Cheng Kui's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like a cow.Xi Yan wiped off the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, panted lowly, and withdrew the ancient sword. "Thank you, General Xi, for saving your life. This is the second time I owe you General Xi." Gu Yueyi regained his composure slightly, "What's the matter with these people? Are they from the Li army? How are the other city gates now?" "No need to thank you. I came to the city to talk to General Gu, but I met some disgusting things on the way." Xi Yan walked to Gu Yueyi and pointed to the direction they came from, "General Gu, over there Look." A dozen or so dark shadows over there were rushing towards them. They had no formation at all, like a group of bloodthirsty wolves chasing a flock of sheep.Gu Yueyi could tell something strange from their running movements, each of them ran like the warrior who left the country just now, they were incredibly fast, but their movements were clumsy and uncoordinated. "We were forced here by the pursuers just like that." Xi Yan said, "The incident happened suddenly. I just met General Cheng and was going to the Peking University Camp to find General Bai. On the way, I encountered these disgusting things." Gu Yueyi gasped: "These...these are all enemies? How did they enter the city? There are alarm bells everywhere, where are the enemies?" "General Gu, it's better to ask where there are no enemies." Xi Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Your Jinbei camp is already a piece of scorched earth. They rushed into the camp and killed people everywhere, but they couldn't restrain themselves , had no choice but to seal the gates of the camp with sandbags and burn them all with a fire.” "What the hell is it? Li Jun? How could there be Li Jun?" Gu Yueyi felt that the whole world was in chaos. "Zombie! It's a zombie!" Cheng Kui looked grim, lifted a saber from the saddle and threw it to Gu Yueyi. "Zombie?" Gu Yueyi grabbed the knife in the air and stayed there. "That arrow was shot by General Gu, right? You can't kill it, so General Gu can only run for your life." Xi Yan pointed his sword at the Liguo warrior who was crucified on the ground, "Of course the corpses can't be killed, they are already dead .” Gu Yueyi was speechless, but he knew what Xi Yan said was right.He remembered the moment when they met each other, he could see clearly the face of Li Guo warrior, it was deathly pale, so ugly that it was not human. "Don't think about it! The enemy is coming!" Cheng Kui shouted anxiously, "Don't run away, just settle it here!" "Yes, let's solve it here. We don't have time. We have to go to Beidaying as soon as possible to find Bai Yi." Xi Yan turned around, pulled the bitter thorns from the corpse, and turned back to stand side by side with Cheng Kui Gu Yueyi, "Although they are powerful, their movements are inflexible. After swinging their weapons, there will be a lot of holes, so dodge first. Don't chop their heads and bodies when counterattacking. It is useless. They don't know pain, and they can stand without a head." But even zombies need to rely on blood flow to send power to the whole body, so as long as the heart is pierced and all the blood is released, they will not be able to move." "Piercing the heart? Will this kill them?" Cheng Kui found a glimmer of hope. "No, just let them lie down immediately. Their residual consciousness will be preserved until the moment when the soul is gone." Xi Yan squinted his eyes and looked at the black shadows that were approaching like iron walls, and now he was close enough to see Clear the bloodstains and broken armor on the bodies of those things. Some of them are holding Liguo-style square-mouthed sabers, some are holding Chuwei's mountain spears, and some are empty-handed, picking their fingers like chicken feet. , as if to pounce on someone's throat. "When they fall down, they will keep their eyes open and still look at you. General Cheng, don't be frightened." Xi Yan sneered. Before the great danger, this lazy man suddenly had a sense of fearlessness. Cold and proud. "General Xi still understands these strange things?" Cheng Kui licked his lips, and even pulled the corners of his mouth to smile. "I learned it when I was studying. My grades in Jigong were better than those of General Bai." Xi Yan got on his horse, "I am a good student." "I'm an old man from the army, and I'm as knowledgeable as General Wuxi, but I use a knife to chop zombies, so I can compare it with General Xi." Cheng Kui's words carried the unique arrogance of Chun people. is no longer useful. The coalition commanders looked at each other, roared at the same time, and charged forward.
