The Altar of Soldiers and Monsters, the ancient method of the Twelve Cave, is originally nameless. It is the secret that can no longer be kept secret in the Twelve Cave. It uses the two techniques of melting insects and poison to make medicine with poison, and then soaking people in it can build muscles and bones. , and then use insects to control people, becoming a powerful weapon against ten, so that they can be invincible.
This method is different from Anjia's magical weaponry and Xiangxi's method of exorcising corpses. What he is refining is a living person.
"Yang Hou, is what is said above true?! Is there really such a magic in southern Xinjiang?!" Tang Shengtan has been fighting with various tribes in southern Xinjiang for many years. Compared with the Yuanmeng and Houjin Jurchens in the north, , people in southern Xinjiang are not that aggressive.
Although Tang Shengtan fought many battles with Southern Xinjiang, large-scale wars only occurred during the reign of the previous barbarian king of Southern Xinjiang.
After the previous barbarian king was killed by Tang Shengtan, there was no large-scale invasion of more than 100,000 people in southern Xinjiang, and the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters naturally never appeared.
Now seeing this information, Tang Shengtan was shocked with incredible doubts. If Yang Qingyuan hadn't personally handed him the information, he would have been scolded by Tang Shengtan for being ridiculous.
Although Tang Shengtan was not a disciple of Confucianism, he also knew that Zi Bu Yu had strange powers and confused gods.
This magic weapon and strange altar is clearly an evil art, how can it be taken seriously? !
"The content in it is mostly credible. Southern Xinjiang is partially inherited by the ancient military leader Chi You. The "Great Wilderness Northern Classic" contains: Chi You's eighty-one brothers, with animal bodies and human voices, bronze heads and iron foreheads, and eat sand and stones. .Although it is a bit exaggerated, this copper head and iron forehead are very similar to the soldiers refined by the magic of the magic altar."
After all, Yang Qingyuan is known as half a walking Tongwen Museum, so he is naturally familiar with such allusions and strange stories.
"During the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Yin and Yang family also had a secret technique like this, which was a medicine called the Ghost Control Pill. The best one was called the Soul-Living Pill, which was very special. If the Snow Artemisia in the prescription was properly enhanced, it would produce wolves. By adjusting the ratio of the poison, the power can be greatly increased. By blocking the meridians, the living person is like a walking zombie, allowing him to be driven at will."
Yang Qingyuan put down the tea cup in his hand and asked, "I wonder if Tang Shuai has ever heard of the theft of grain from the God's Capital in the 19th year of Yong'an!"
Tang Shengtan nodded. Although he was in southern Xinjiang, the granary was burned and the grain was stolen, which shocked the government and the public.
If Yang Qingyuan hadn't found millions of stones of food, there would have been turmoil in the northern border.
"An Jia, one of the felons in the granary case back then, also had a similar trick called the Divine Weapon Technique, which was able to manipulate human corpses. Many soldiers in the Royal Forest Army also saw it with their own eyes."
Yang Qingyuan cited scriptures like this, and even similar evil magic had appeared in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
These dispelled Tang Shengtan's last doubts, "From this point of view, this is indeed a big trouble!"
If it is true as the intelligence said, the soldiers trained by these magic weapons and monsters are so powerful that one can fight ten, which is an indestructible spear. Coupled with the weapon of Southern Xinjiang, the vine armor, so The role played is immeasurable.
"What do Yang Hou think we should do?!"
This magical altar of magical weapons is a bit beyond Tang Shengtan's understanding. There is no such thing at the biochemical level in the four military skills he learned.
"I am here just to remind Tang Shuai about this matter and to be careful of the attack from the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters. As for the follow-up, I will go to the land of Southern Xinjiang again and have a good talk with the cave master of the Twelve Cave in Southern Xinjiang!"
Yang Qingyuan is a person who is particularly willing to reason with others, and he is not the only one who can reason with others now.
Xiaoyaozi, the leader of the Taoist sect, advocated Xuanqing in the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, Zhuge Zhengwo, the sixty-five god princes, and Liu Dufeng, the six-door hunting god.
Just relying on these four laws, heavenly phenomena and earthly realms, you can reason with the cave owners of the Twelve Cave!
"Don't worry, Marquis Yang. Since I already know the power of these human, divine, magical, and strange altars, I will naturally use their strengths to avoid their weaknesses."
A single soldier is not terrible.
If it is difficult to win head-on, it can be destroyed by water and fire.
Tang Shengtan is not Mr. Zhuge Wolong. His life will be shortened if his rattan armor is burned. This is completely moral kidnapping. Try Jia Wenhe and Cheng Zhongde instead.
Jia Wenhe said that he would not be kidnapped if he had no morals. Cheng Zhongde said that the rattan armor soldiers were quite fragrant.
If human power cannot defeat it, then we must defeat it with the power of heaven and earth.
The scary thing is that these soldiers can be produced continuously.
As long as Yang Qingyuan can cut off its source, one or two elite soldiers will not be a big problem.
…
——
Baigou River, south bank, in the left camp of Pingjing Army.
Wanyan's golden marble, which had been so arrogant just now, was stopped by this giant man named Dianqing!
The armor-clad sect's most powerful skill is not inferior at all to the Golden Marble's indestructible magic skill.
The power that Wanyan Golden Marble has always been proud of has no advantage in the face of the ceremony.
In desperation, Wanyan's golden marbles could only fight with Jianqing, while the Tornado Divine Sword Cavalry continued to kill into the camp.
They used torches and rockets to set fire to the tents along the way one after another.
But the action of the Whirlwind Divine Sword Cavalry setting fire to the tent immediately caused the soldiers of the Pingjing Army to panic.
"Put out the fire quickly! Put out the fire quickly!"
The soldiers of the Pingjing Army watched helplessly as the Tornado Divine Sword Cavalry set fire to them. The remaining thousands of soldiers hurriedly beat the tent that had been set on fire. The left camp was suddenly in chaos.
The fire that shot up into the sky in the left camp immediately attracted the attention of Zhao Wu, who was still dealing with King Zhao's rebel Qingqi in front of the main camp. The thunderous sound of hoofbeats gradually became clearer from far to near. With the sound of hoofbeats, the fire was spreading towards the Zhongda Camp.
Zhao Wu's expression immediately changed drastically!
The left camp was breached? !
Apparently, the left camp had been broken into by a group of rebel cavalry, and the rebels actually broke through the defensive blockade of the Pingjing Army infantry, broke into the camp, and started setting fire to the camp.
Zhao Wu wouldn't be too worried if he just burned the camp. The key was the rear camp built against the mountain behind the Zhongda Camp.
The grain and grass baggage carried by the Pingjing Army were stored in the rear camp. Once the rebels broke into the rear camp and set fire to the grain and grass baggage, the Pingjing Army, which was in a state of no food, would fall into chaos without the rebels attacking. .
Zhao Wu shuddered when he thought of the consequences!
If that time really comes, then the general guarding the camp will really die without redemption!
Zhao Wu then handed his sword to the general beside him.
"He Tao!"
"The general is here!"
"I will hand over my sword to you, and you will command the troops and horses here to guard the camp. The enemy must not be allowed to break through from the main entrance, otherwise you will come to see me!"
He Tao took Zhao Wu's sword with both hands and spoke firmly.
"Please rest assured, General Zhao, everyone is in the camp! If the enemy can break through the camp gate, all my soldiers will be killed!"
Zhao Wu shook his head, "I don't want to see your bodies. What I want is to hold on to this door!"
"Yes!" He Tao replied loudly, drawing his sword.
This man is the younger brother of General He Lie of Dingyuan and a general under Zhao Wu.
After Zhao Wu handed over the command of this place to He Tao, he personally led 7,000 elite troops towards Zuoying.
…
In the left camp, although Wanyan Jinpinzi and his guards were stopped, the remaining Whirlwind Divine Sword Riders, led by their commander, had already rushed into the camp, looking for the place where the Pingjing Army stored their food, grass and baggage.
But the huge camp can accommodate twenty-five soldiers and horses. The scale is self-evident. Under such circumstances, it was extremely difficult to find a large camp where grain and grass were stored.
Fortunately, the Tornado Sword Cavalry did not encounter too fierce resistance.
Although there were still soldiers and horses in the camp, they were guarded in various places under the command of Zhao Wu, and the center seemed empty. Even if they realized that the left camp was under attack, the other departments would not have time to separate their troops for rescue.
Along the way, there were only a few Pingjing Army squads of less than a hundred people blocking their way, but they were all instantly slaughtered by the Whirlwind Divine Sword Cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, the Tornado Sword Cavalry set fire all the way and were approaching the Chinese army.
After breaking out from the left camp, the middle camp appeared in front of the Whirlwind Divine Sword Cavalry. Now they needed to make a decision, whether they should kill the rear camp or the right camp.
Just when Commander Zhu Ma of the Tornado Divine Sword Cavalry was thinking about which camp to burn first? !
"Buzz!" A sharp roar suddenly came from the direction of the main camp.
This sound is very familiar to the Whirlwind Divine Sword Cavalry, which is also equipped in King Ning's army. It is the sound of the whistling arrows of the divine machine crossbow.
"Disperse!"
The commander was so frightened that he heard this voice and shouted sternly. As he said that, he drove a maroon BMW towards the back camp.
It's a pity that he is not Wanyan's golden marble, and he does not have the indestructible magical power to protect his body. At this distance, the armor on his body cannot completely protect him.
"Puch!" three times!
Three crossbow arrows tore through his armor and penetrated into his body. Three eight-inch-long small crossbow arrows were placed on each of the commander's arms, shoulders, and thighs, and nearly half of them were engulfed in the flesh.
And the Cyclone Divine Sword Cavalry camp behind him was screaming again and again. Just by hearing the sound without looking back, he knew that this sudden attack must have caused heavy casualties!
To be able to become the leader of the Whirlwind Divine Sword Cavalry, this person is naturally no ordinary person.
He held the pear-shaped mountain ax in one hand, and quickly pulled out the three crossbow arrows stuck in his body with the other hand.
Three streaks of blood shot out. The fog at this time had faded a bit, and it was clear that there was still flesh and blood on these crossbow arrows, but the man clenched his teeth and remained silent.
But this man actually tore off the pieces of his own flesh hanging on the barbs with his mouth, and then threw the three crossbow arrows aside.
"How can we harm our body, hair, and skin, which we received from our parents? The blood of father, sperm, and mother must not be discarded!" After saying this, he opened his eyes wide and chewed his own flesh and blood.
The soldiers present were also frightened by this scene. They were originally just the garrison troops on the front line of the Great Tuesday. Where had they seen such brave people? ! In his fright, he even forgot to continue shooting arrows.
The commander of the Whirlwind Divine Sword Cavalry took advantage of the situation and attacked the hundreds of crossbowmen of the Pingjing Army. He wielded the sword in his left hand and held an ax in his right hand. Wherever he went, there were broken arms and limbs.
These crossbowmen had no resistance at all after being approached by the Whirlwind Divine Sword.
Just when the Cyclone Divine Sword Cavalry was setting fire, Zhao Wu arrived. He arrived here in time. Three thousand feather arrows were fired at the same time, and another Cyclone Divine Sword Cavalry fell off his horse.
However, when setting fire, the formation was scattered and the crossbows could not continue to expand the results.
"Brothers, follow me!"
As soon as Zhao Wu clamped his horse under his crotch, he rushed forward to face the Whirlwind Divine Sword Cavalry. There were more than 300 cavalry beside him, all of whom were his guards, brave and good at fighting.
Under the leadership of Zhao Wu with a steel gun, he actually attacked the strongest cavalry under King Ning, the Whirlwind Divine Sword Cavalry.
…
——
Zhao Wangjun and Ping Jingjun on the south bank have been fighting to an end.
On the north bank, the war was also in full swing.
Although King Zhao's army has a strength advantage, the soldiers and horses under Zhao Tianlin are not the second-line garrison troops under Zhao Wu.
It is an elite division composed of the Imperial Forest Army and the Longwu Army.
In the heavy fog, confused and unclear about their direction, the vanguard of King Zhao's army actually walked into the formation of Pingjing's army, exposing its left and right wings to the front of Pingjing's army.
Under the attack from the left and right of the Pingjing Army, these 10,000 soldiers and horses were almost completely annihilated without taking any action.
They were defeated for a while before the official confrontation, which made even a veteran like Zhao Wang feel troublesome.
Most of the soldiers and horses under his command were composed of broken troops. After a long period of appeasement and reorganization, these people could barely maintain their morale. As a result, the vanguard actually walked into the Zhou army's ambush circle and was beaten. The entire army was wiped out.
This caused morale, which had originally risen, to drop again.
In the battle of Baigouhe, King Zhao had already suppressed all his family assets, and all the soldiers capable of fighting had been divided into two groups.
One is in his hands, and the other is in Zhang Shimei's.
If he were defeated today, his road to peace would basically end here.
The coaches of both sides have tightened their nerves, and this is still a blind selection duel.
The thick white fog prevented both sides from obtaining the other's intelligence, and the next move could be made based on the other's movements. You can only guess!
As the defender, King Zhao originally had the advantage. As long as the main camp was not lost, he would not lose.
But who is Zhu Kai? He followed the general Chang Yanheng on the battlefield at the age of fourteen and rarely lost. Even in the era when generals gathered together, the young King Zhao still had his own place.
In the eyes of King Zhao, Zhao Tianlin is just an old guy who has gained a lot. Although he must be cautious in using troops, this is his attitude. King Zhao is contemptuous of Zhao Tianlin from the bottom of his heart.
"The cavalry is ready to charge with me!"
King Zhao personally took action and went out to seek battle.
The other party must have never imagined that he would dare to be so bold.
If he could defeat one of Zhao Tianlin's troops, it would not only weaken the enemy's power, but more importantly, he could rekindle the morale of these defeated soldiers.
King Zhao acted vigorously and resolutely, and he did whatever he thought of.
He could find 10,000 reasons why he couldn't hold on, but he only needed one reason for Zhu Kai to take the initiative.
Twenty thousand fine cavalry filed out under the leadership of Zhu Kai himself.
The Pingjing Army was slowly advancing towards the main camp of King Zhao's Army. The leader of the left wing was also a veteran general, Qu Neng, who was transferred from Yizhou.
This man was a man of great talent and strategy when he was young. He joined the army with his father. He had rich combat experience, was good at riding and shooting, and was well-known in both the government and the public. He was originally a general in charge of Shu, but later transferred his troops to the Royal Forest Army.
He and Zhao Tianlin were old acquaintances. Out of trust, Zhao Tianlin handed over the elite cavalry to Qu Neng. In the subsequent battle, Qu Neng also proved that Zhao Tianlin's choice was right!
Feeling the vibration on the ground, Qu Neng looked ahead.
"Here it comes!" (End of chapter)
