Chapter 16 Battle of Julu 3
"Ah!" A shrill scream came from the room, and then there were sounds of things being knocked over and broken, and the sound of people falling heavily into the ground.
The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. The servants who were busy with their own affairs in the prefect's mansion were scared when they heard this sound. Even if the warm sunlight shone on them, they could not heal their trembling. The wind that should have made people feel comfortable and breathable was like a knife, cutting their bodies with one knife.
"This month is the fifth. The front of Yumei, Yimu, Aqing, Xiaotuan, all died miserably..." A servant wearing linen clothes whispered. From a distance, he was trembling all over and sweating on his back, as if he had remembered something terrible.
Another servant went to the battlefield and injured his left arm, but he killed several people, which was considered a merit. Xue Tian asked him to enter the mansion to do a relaxing job. He also had a blue face: "Yes, his mouth is crooked, his eyes are slanted, his body is covered with black bumps, and there is no drop of blood in his body. This is not a plague!"
"What are you all doing here?" Li Yuan walked over majesticly with steps.
"Mr. Li!" Everyone saluted him together.
"Well! Come and carry Chunxiang's body away quickly, buy her a coffin, erect a monument, bury her with the people in front of her, and then give her 50 jin of five zhu coins to her house." Li Yuan ordered slowly, these were all the things Xue Tian ordered after discovering the first dead man.
"No! Manager Li!" Although the servants were afraid, they could only do it tremblingly. As for the leak, they would never dare to. Manager Li had already beaten several verbal servants to death.
"No wonder those time travel novels say that wizards and magicians are all strange and lonely people. It turns out that formal wizards will release energy particle radiation all the time, and ordinary people are easily killed indiscriminately." Xue Tian sat cross-legged and looked through the spells about hiding his own energy particle radiation in the black magic book. He had previously bound his energy particle radiation well through a primary formation, but unfortunately this primary beam energy array has reached its limit in the past month.
"Finding energy sealing magic array." Xue Tian found a spell to solve the problem of energy particle radiation at the level of a great magician. The energy sealing magic array is a practical magic array that blocks the radiation of energy particles around it and converts it back into a magic power to feed back itself. "This is a good formation." Xue Tian was immersed in the ocean of books and started to study it.
Julu County. The setting sun was like blood. Under the dim afterglow, a few low moans came from time to time. It was the powerless cry of the person who was lucky enough to die in the sea of blood. Groups of crows were hovering in the sky, and in their dark eyes, there was only food with red blood flowing.
Broken corpses can be seen everywhere, broken hands, broken feet, flowing intestines, chopped internal organs, white brains, and the bloody smell can be disgusting. The soldiers on both sides tacitly gathered their own corpses and suppressed their emotions.
The sun was about to set, and the sunset in the sky reflected Huangfu Song's body red. At this moment, he was in a very bad mood. He suffered heavy losses for three days of siege. Although the old thief Zhang Jiao did not appear again, many Yellow Turban soldiers appeared on the battlefield, with infinite power, and they could not cut into the knife or arrow, and even the fire attack did not have a good effect. Their movement was too fast, and they ran to another place before the arrow hit the person. If they hadn't automatically disappeared in half an hour, they wouldn't have to fight this battle at all, just run away.
"Lord!" A man who looked like a cavalryman walked towards him, holding his fists and saluting.
"Have the number of casualties calculated today?" Huangfu Song calmed down.
"More than 3,200 injured and more than 18,000 died."
"I understand. Let the military doctor treat the injured and make some broth for them."
"promise."
Huangfu Song's fists were clenched unconsciously. Those were his robes and his brothers! But for the sake of the great man, he could only sacrifice them ruthlessly.
The night soon came, and everything was silent. There was only the whimpering sound of the wild wolf biting the corpse. If Xue Tian was here, he could see the souls of the dead who were wandering. Their evil spirits were strong and they would not disperse for a long time. The ghost messenger did not mean to accept them. This was the real troubled world. Even if he died, he would not have the chance to be reincarnated.
"Woo...woo...woo..." The morning came soon, and the horn sounded on time. The soldiers quickly woke up and lined up to eat. The soldiers of this era usually only had two meals, eating and feeding.
Because they were asked to attack the city, the food in the morning was pretty good. The soldiers finished their dry rice, meat, vegetables, soup, and quickly. Two quarters of an hour later, the horn of the whole team sent troops rang again.
Without any words, Huangfu Song waved his hand and the army advanced towards the city gate.
The troops were at the city, and this was the fourth day. Huangfu Song made full preparations, including siege cars, throwing stone cars, ladders, well railings, arrows.
"Soldiers! The first person to climb the city wall will reward a thousand gold! Up to level three! Rush!" Huangfu Song didn't say nonsense, pulled out the sword from his waist and roared.
There must be brave men under the reward. The soldiers howled and rushed towards the city gate. The moat under the city had been filled with them. The soldiers rushed to the city wall under a group of soldiers holding shields. The defenders on the city wall also worked very hard. They quickly shot arrows under the city under the sound of "arrows" from their generals. When the enemy approached the city wall, they threw stones and killed those who were holding shields and ladders underneath.
Cao Cao was also under the city gate, directing his troops to attack the city. "Shoot, shoot arrows!"
Arrows flew across the city. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Huangfu Song hurriedly ordered the launch of a catapult.
The soldiers on the well railing used flags to command the catapults to throw stones into crowded places in the city. Huge round stones hit the city tower like shells.
Hundreds of soldiers who had no time to hide were smashed into pieces of flesh and blood, and as the bricks hit the city, causing another panic.
"Squat down!" Bo Cai hid under the city wall and shouted at the soldiers.
"Come on, the catapults suppress them, get on!"
"Kill!" Cao Cao's clan brother Xiahou also climbed the ladder with his sword. He was determined to win this skill.
"Second brother and third brother, we will go up too!" Seeing that the city gate was about to be captured, Liu Bei was also excited and made achievements, at this moment!
"Damn it, I'm fighting with you!" Bo Cai saw that the enemies climbed the city wall one by one under the threat of the catapult cart, and quickly took out a stack of Yellow Turban Strongman Talisman from his waist. "Please ask the heavenly soldiers and generals to come down to earth! As urgent as the law!"
For a time, hundreds of three-meter-high Yellow Turban Warriors appeared at the top of the city. This was a talisman drawn by Zhang Jiao himself, and his magic power was even stronger. These Yellow Turban Warriors all held a spear in their hands. They had expressionless faces and were extremely powerful. The stones that hit the city gate were smashed back by their jumping feet, and hundreds of catapults and soldiers were smashed to pieces.
"The catapult cart is gone! Brothers, kill these people who climbed the city gate! Kill!" Bo Cai was overjoyed when he saw the catapult cart being destroyed. He felt like Brother Xinchun was resurrected in the spot. He stood up and threw himself into the battlefield again, and inserted his knife into the enemy's stomach with the tireless Yellow Turban strongmen.
"Brother...this..." Zhang Fei swallowed.
"Second brother and third brother, let us go to supervise the battle and let brothers go to the city tower to support them!" Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged and his righteousness was stern.
At dusk, the two sides who had been killed for a day once again tacitly called each other to withdraw their troops. They did not expect that such a siege and defending the city would be stalemate for a month, and both sides suffered heavy losses, especially Huangfu Song's side. However, this was what Xue Tianlei saw.
Yangzhou, Lujiang County.
Xue Tian sat in the main seat: "Everyone, those demons have killed all the Yellow Turban thieves in Yangzhou and are coming towards Lujiang. What do you think?"
"Lord, the demon had specially bypassed Lujiang before. Has the immortal master's trick been effective?" Zhao Yong asked.
"The Immortal Master did not make it clear, and he has been refining Huichun Pills recently, so I'm afraid there is no time for a while."
"Is the immortal master finally starting to refine alchemy again? That's great, I must buy more." Zhao Yong and the others' expressions suddenly became hot again.
"Don't worry, the Immortal Master has been in seclusion for 30 days. Just wait patiently for a while. Besides, I have already obtained a large army of 500,000 when recruiting troops recently. Are you still afraid of those mere skeletons?"
Sun Shao: "Lord, even if that's the case, we still have to prepare more tincture oil, rolling stones and other supplies. There are legends that these demons are afraid of fire."
"Fire attack is a good idea. People in Yangzhou are panic now. Fortunately, these skeletons have not slaughtered civilians, but they must be careful. After all, if they are not killed now, it does not mean they will not be killed in the future." Xue Tian said solemnly.
Kill all the Yangzhou people? It would be better to let them go to Jingzhou to harm Liu Biao first. Fortunately, I got a bargain. For the past month, he has absorbed evil spirits in the towns where skeletons pass by every day, turned into magic power in his body, and tried to use alchemy to refine the Sage Stone, but his understanding of the human body refining formation in alchemy is not enough, and the Gate of Truth has never appeared.
Skeleton Mage Ren soon received a new command, Jingzhou was on the left of Yangzhou, so it led a million skeleton army toward Jingzhou.
A catastrophe is about to happen on the ground of Jingzhou. Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, is still in seclusion and guarding the city, living a drunken and dreaming of death.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou had 7 counties and 117 counties, including Jiangxia County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, Nanyang County, Nanjun and Lingling County at that time. It has always been a place that military strategists must fight for.
Three days later, Xue Tian "learns" in the prefect's mansion that the "good news" that the demon had left Yangzhou and left in the direction of Jingzhou. He "happily" asked Zhao Yong and others to return to their posts and guard one side. He asked them to recruit more soldiers, and the treatment was still based on the rules he set. "Don't worry, I will lead you to the Luoyang City together and establish a achievements that will last forever!"
The great fortune of Yangzhou is also a misfortune in Jingzhou. The skeletons arrived at Jiangling City in Nanjun in just three days.
In three days, the news that the skeleton-shaped "demon" arrived in Jingzhou had spread throughout Jingzhou. Liu Biao was just a pig and knew that he would send troops to reinforce Jiangling. He could not let the demons come in, otherwise Jingzhou would be over. He urgently sent Cai Mao as the governor and led an army of 600,000 to Jiangling City. The materials to guard the city were prepared countless.
When the skeleton soldiers arrived outside Jiangling City, Cai Mao had already sprinkled tinder oil in the area outside the city. He had known about the news that these demons were afraid of fire.
"Governor, demon... demon is coming!" Cai Mao's personal soldier saw the dense skeletons covering the earth like locusts, and his teeth trembled.
"Hiss!" Cai Mao's scalp was numb when he saw it. He was a little rational: "Start the rockets quickly! Hurry!" No matter what monsters you are, I will burn you to death!
A wave of rockets shot down the city. When the fire touched the oil, the fire spread out and burned into the skeleton soldiers' team.
"Win!" Cai Mao saw the fire burning into the skeleton soldiers, and many skeletons were burned to ashes, and he felt that this wave was stable.
He was wrong! The skeletons were ignorant, fearless, and unaware of advance and retreat. They suddenly ran up and rushed to the city within a few minutes and climbed up the city wall!
"Splash tinder oil quickly, shoot arrows, roll stones! Quick!" Cai Mao panicked! Aren't these demons afraid of death? The speed is so amazing!
The skeletons climbed the walls far faster than the defenders' speed of firing arrows, tinder oil and rolling stones. One skeleton after another climbed the city tower and fought with the already scared defenders.
One head after another soared into the sky, and blood sprinkled on the skeletons, dyeing them blood-red.
The gate below the city was also smashed by Ryan's spell and swinging big stones. Millions of troops rushed into the city, fighting with the soldiers who were already scared and forced to fight back, fighting while fleeing.
Cai Mao shouted on the city tower, "Don't panic, break their heads!" Unfortunately, not long after, five arrow shadows shot through his neck, head, and heart... He spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth and fell down softly.
Jiangling City is broken!
The skeletons chased the Jingzhou soldiers. They seemed to deliberately release Jingzhou soldiers and chased them for two days, chasing the remaining 60,000 Jingzhou soldiers to the city of Nanjun, and temporarily stopped.
Chapter completed!
