As the convoy moves forward, various dangers arise unexpectedly.
On the way, I encountered poisonous ants as long as a finger, which swarmed in waves, leaving no grass growing wherever they passed. Fortunately, there was a stranger in the team who was good at using fire. After burning countless poisonous ants to death, the team just escaped.
We also encountered the disaster of ground cracking, and several Xiang troops fell into it with their horses and men, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Wu Gen sat on the horse, occasionally taking out burnt ants and stuffing them into his mouth. Yes, it was those poisonous ants that were burned to death in a fire. They were really delicious when deep-fried.
Thinking about how much time there was before he could go there, Wu Gen took the lead in trying the poison on his own in line with the principle of saving what he could. However, he started a trend of eating ants among the group. Even Zhao Ling tried to eat a few. .
A light layer of fog appeared in front of us, and the weather became cooler. On the contrary, everyone's minds became more and more tense, because the appearance of these fogs also meant that the dark fog was not far away.
On this day, the convoy arrived at a hillside, where there was a shallow water pool, shaped like a crescent moon, with rippling blue waves. It's a rare quiet place along the way, and it's a good place to have a good night's rest.
It was not yet evening, and the mist came in like a tide, turning the sky and the earth into shadows.
Wu Gen, Zhang Yuan and others had just sat down when Commander Chen came over and said, "Zhang Yuan, take people to explore the surrounding areas, especially those places with heavy fog. You must conduct careful reconnaissance to prevent enemies from lurking in them. "
Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and said, "It's okay, I'm just tired from the journey. Please ask Commander Chen to let us brothers rest for a while, so that if anything happens, we can have the strength to deal with it."
Commander Chen's face turned cold, "As a Xiang army, how can you push back and forth like this? The noble man is about to rest. If we don't find out early, how can we arrange defenses."
"Hey, when will Commander Chen be able to command the guards? It's only been a few days, and he has been promoted and even deployed defenses. We are just dogs on the outside. If anything happens, just give us a few wangwang." A sinister voice said The sound rang, needless to say, it was Wu Gen again.
Commander Chen sneered and said: "Wu Gen, don't be arrogant and lawless just because you have been summoned once by a nobleman. Entertaining people with sex will never succeed."
"Fuck your dog." Upon hearing this, Wu Gen jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
These days, the convoy was dull and depressing. When nothing happened, Sha Chu joked about Wu Gen being summoned alone. People gradually heard about it, and it spread among the other troops.
Wu Gen's heart ached when he met Zhao Ling in the car this time. Ever since I was a child, I have never behaved so carelessly. Every time I think about it, I feel humiliated and depressed. Today, Commander Chen refused to open any pot and even teased himself in public. He couldn't hold back and reached out to draw his sword.
Zhang Yuan quickly grabbed the hairy Wu Gen and said to Commander Chen, "Okay, follow your orders, I'll set off immediately."
Commander Chen snorted, "Remember to explore more carefully and not be careless, especially in places with deep fog, you must feel clearly."
Zhang Yuan, Wu Gen, and Sha Chu left the camp and ran out on horseback.
On the way, Zhang Yuan sighed, "Wu Gen, Commander Chen is obviously making things difficult for you. Just bear with it and put the overall situation first."
Wu Gen looked around and answered the question, "There seems to be someone spying on the camp tonight, and I always feel a little fussy in my heart."
Zhang Yuan's face was stunned, "But I found something." Wu Gen never joked about this kind of thing, and the atmosphere couldn't help but become tense.
"Not yet, let's move forward." The three of them ran straight towards the place with thick fog.
A black mist appeared ahead, like a black ribbon floating in the mist, like a streak of ink poured into the milk.
Wu Gen stopped, turned over and dismounted, and silently stared at the black mist in front of him. On the land next to the black fog, black areas appeared on the ground, like giant pythons.
The horse becomes restless and moves back on its own without urging. Not to mention Ma, even Zhang Yuan and Sha Chu felt waves of discomfort, their hearts palpitated, the hairs on their bodies stood up, and their energy and blood kept rolling.
Wu Gen said nothing, holding the reins tightly with his hands, looking at the black mist with some confusion. Zhang Yuan and others could obviously see the abnormality, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Could it be that Zhao Ling was right, there really was something strange about him. Wu Gen's face was pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, which concealed his uneasiness.
Zhang Yuan looked around and said, "Take the Guyuan Pill quickly. The fog has appeared here, so you don't get caught." Before leaving, everyone was given ten Guyuan Pills in order to cope with the situation. This is the current situation.
Wu Gen pretended to take out the Gu Yuan Dan, but when it reached his mouth, it slipped into his sleeve. I just want to try to see if I can withstand the fog with my physical body alone.
The three of them rode on horseback, avoiding the black mist, and surveyed along the road. After walking for a few miles, the situation was not too bad. The fog was coming in and out, and there was still a passage in the middle to move forward.
Although the shape still changes, most of them move slowly, so as long as you are careful, they will not hurt anyone. Wu Gen discovered that some of the black mist was fading, seeming to conflict with the atmosphere of the surrounding heaven and earth, so that it gradually disappeared.
It seems that although the fog is strange, it is not without restraint. The world here will slowly purify, so you don't have to worry about drifting far away to places where people gather.
Moreover, the human race has been dealing with Huiwu for many years and has accumulated many ways to deal with it, and this Guyuan Dan is one of them.
"Have you heard the crow?" Wu Gen suddenly raised his head and asked.
"What's the crow sound?" Zhang Yuan listened carefully, the surroundings were silent, and he glanced at Wu Gen strangely.
"Pa." Sha Chu cracked his whip, "Don't be suspicious, this damn place, even I find it a bit scary if you ask me to say that."
Wu Gen lowered his head and said nothing, then suddenly got excited. Crow, crow soldier, that alliance leader in Qingmu's courtyard once asked about the whereabouts of a certain woman. I also made some insinuations, but Aoki kept silent about it, and the time passed.
Is it possible...
"No, someone may be harmful to Zhao Ling." Wu Gen was sure that he heard correctly, it was the crow.
"What, who is doing harm to noble people?" Zhang Yuan was startled and asked quickly.
Wu Gen looked at Zhang Yuan, "I don't know either, but I always have a bad feeling. Lao Zhang, to be honest, if there is an enemy attack, if we go back now, the three of us alone may not be able to make much difference." , return it?"
"Let's go back to camp. No matter what, we have to go back and take a look." Zhang Yuan turned his horse around and ran back. Wu Gen and Sha Chu looked at each other and followed closely.
After running for less than half an hour, the three of them saw from a distance thick smoke billowing in the direction of the camp, and faint shouts of killing could be heard. Zhang Yuan's heart sank, the camp had been attacked.
"Prepare your weapons and be careful. It's not easy to dare to attack noble people here." Zhang Yuan looked solemn and turned around to instruct the two of them.
Thinking about it, Daxia and Zhao have been at war for so many years, and they try not to kill nobles. Even if they are captured, they must be treated properly. This is an unwritten rule that all countries follow. If anyone dares to attack and kill the noble, he is a common traitor in the world and will be killed wherever he goes.
When they got closer, they found that the camp was surrounded by people, and more than a hundred thieves were rushing towards the camp. These thieves were all dressed in black and had a mask on their face that looked like a crow's mouth.
One of them, located in the center of the thieves, was sitting on a horse, silently observing the changes on the battlefield.
The men in black divided into two groups, avoiding the most heavily defended front of the convoy, and rode towards the camp from both sides of Crescent Lake.
These people have obviously been trained in battle formations, their actions are orderly, and their attacks are continuous. In addition to the attacking troops on both sides, there were also some people who were constantly running around the camp. Arrows flew into the camp like rain, covering the cavalry attack.
The landing point of his arrows was extremely tricky, and he cooperated with the cavalry tacitly, landing just five steps away from them. There was already a dense layer of arrows planted on the ground in the camp.
The first ones who couldn't hold on were the outer troops, and they were quickly dispersed. The men in black, armed with knives or hammers, charged and killed arbitrarily and repeatedly. Many Xiang troops fell off their horses, were beheaded, or died under the trampling of horse hooves.
The heavy cavalry of the Guards at the core did not attack rashly. They sat on their horses and looked coldly at the men in black galloping in the camp. The heavy cavalry surrounded Zhao Ling's carriage in two circles. The people in the inner circle held shields and relied on other carriages to build a defense line, forming a black shield wall.
The ones on the outer circle were led by an officer, and they were in an arrow formation, fully armed. The arrows landed on the heavy cavalry and were bounced off by the heavy armor.
Seeing that the Xiang army was defeated, the defense line was weakened on the left and right, and a gap appeared in front of the camp, the officer looked back and took the lead in pulling out his long sword and raising it high.
Choking, choking, choking, the sound of drawing swords was heard everywhere. Thirty heavy riders slapped their breastplates with their sword blades. The clashing sound of swords and armors was uniform and louder and louder.
"Kill." The officer yelled, and the heavy cavalry slowly started.
The officer's timing of attack was quite wise. Although the heavy cavalry was brave and had strong defense, its shortcoming was its slow acceleration. If the Xiang army is blocking the front, with such a small distance, it will be difficult to speed up and exert the power of heavy cavalry, but it will be easy for the opponent to get entangled.
The heavy horse's hooves hit the ground faster and faster, like a sharp sword thrust out.
Viewed from the air, two black torrents collided heavily, causing people to flip over and their horses to run away in confusion. After all, the heavy cavalry was superior to the man in black in terms of equipment and force. Under the flying sword light, more than a dozen men in black fell down on the spot.
Ordinary swords and arrows obviously have little effect on the thick armor of heavy cavalry.
But something strange happened. Those fallen men in black, as long as they were not broken into pieces or trampled into flesh, staggered up from the ground, roared and continued to attack the heavy riders.
A sharp whistle sounded, and the men in black scattered one after another, slid along the edge of the heavy horse, made a circle, and then reorganized into a team.
"Use ink arrows." One of the men in black shouted. Soon, the man in black, who had just wandered off to ride and shoot, took out an arrow wrapped in yellow paper from the arrow pot behind him.
The yellow paper was opened, revealing a dark arrow. There are complicated patterns on the arrow body. The tip of the arrow shines with blue light.
These men in black obviously valued this arrow very much. After taking it out, they shot it with a full bow. The scream of ink arrows piercing the air was heard, flying towards the heavy cavalry who was still hunting the lone man in black.
In such a chaotic scene, many arrows missed their targets. But the remaining arrows fell on the heavy cavalry. Compared with the difficulty of the sword and arrow just now, the black arrow shot into the armor easily. At the breach, blue light flashed and spread towards the whole body.
The blue light and the black armor complement each other, which is a bit strange. Some of the heavy knights who were shot fell down and never got up, while others' bodies with less serious injuries began to sway, roaring and attacking their companions around them.
Caught off guard, the formation of the heavy cavalry became chaotic. With just one blow, more than ten people fell down, and the remaining people hurriedly stayed away from their companions who were covered in blue flames.
"Bang bang bang." Several projectiles exploded in the heavy cavalry, and a cloud of red smoke filled the air. Wherever the smoke and dust went, the blue flames were extinguished one after another, and the heavy knights controlled by the blue flames fell down one after another.
