Outside Weicheng.
The horn soldiers sounded gold and retreated. One hundred thousand ghost soldiers and more than 70,000 people stopped attacking and retreated in an orderly manner.
In the huge square between the inner city and the outer city, the undead cavalry turned around one after another. The Heyang cavalry battalion, which had already been defeated, stared blankly at the undead knights retreating on horseback, not daring to pursue them.
Of the three thousand cavalrymen who left the city, only one thousand men and horses were left, and two thousand men fell forever on this bloody battlefield.
The sky in the north is densely covered with iron clouds, without any sunlight, making it suffocating. Zhao Dun held the Wuji Sword and watched the dense army of the dead retreat. Looking around, there were only a few thousand soldiers alive at the top of the outer city.
During the siege, a steady stream of Heyang troops rushed to the top of the city, and now corpses are piled all over the city wall.
The fire was burning and the smoke was roaring.
The Weicheng garrison numbered 50,000 before the war, but only 30,000 remained after the war. Twenty thousand soldiers went off to war and left their homeland, but could never return.
One general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither.
…
The siege lasted from early morning to dusk. Zhao Dun ordered the three armies to rest and regroup and garrison the inner city.
The gate of the outer city has been split in half by Xian Zhen's sword and cannot be defended. The living people had no time to collect the bodies of their dead comrades, nor did they have time to rejoice that they were still alive.
Because no one knows if Xian Zhen's army still attacks tomorrow, whether they can survive.
So the Heyang army was in chaos.
Countless soldiers committed crimes in the city, venting their fear and anger. Those powerful ladies and ordinary Weicheng women cried and drank in hatred.
Some of their men died in the siege, and some watched helplessly as their close relatives were bullied, tortured, and humiliated.
Some of them resisted and were beaten to death by the soldiers.
Some people endured the humiliation and survived, their eyes full of resentment.
"Weicheng cannot be defended anymore." Zhao Dun ordered at the military meeting, "At midnight tonight, the three armies will set out and withdraw through the rear gate of Weicheng."
When the generals of the three armies heard this, they were all silent.
But they also know that they have no other way to go. If they stick to Weicheng, the only thing waiting for them is death.
Especially after the black torrent faded, they saw those Heyang soldiers who had died on the battlefield crawling up in a pool of blood, staggering out of the city and towards the army of the dead.
"Withdrawal troops, where to go?" Chen Deng asked him.
"Heyang." Zhao Dun said.
Bai Ze returned to his courtyard. The city was in chaos and he had no intention of intervening. As for Yu Youwei's safety, he doesn't have to worry.
Those people couldn't be made to take the woman seriously.
"General." There was only one sergeant left, and the other died in the battle to defend the city.
Bai Ze nodded, entered his room, and spit out another mouthful of blood. He looked pale and did not dare to make any unnecessary movements. He quickly sat down cross-legged, took out the healing elixir that Yu Youwei had given him before they parted, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Heaven and earth are the workman, and creation is the furnace. The news of yin and yang, the Tao transforms all things." Bai Zemo uses the "Pure Yang Sutra" to circulate the true energy throughout the body, regulate the breath and heal injuries.
This sitting lasted for an entire hour.
Lu Hao's jade has never stopped since Bai Ze meditated, warming and nourishing Bai Ze's body that was washed away by the dragon soul.
The soul power was too strong, but Bai Ze's body was still too weak to withstand the brutal impact and baptism.
However, there are shortcomings in the way of heaven, and there are gains and losses.
"The true energy is vaguely thicker." Bai Ze opened his eyes, stood up, and clenched his fists to feel the innate pure Yang true energy rushing in his body, "It seems that this life and death battle is not without benefits for me. .”
He had no time to disarm, so he ordered the sergeants accompanying him to wake him up before midnight and fell asleep.
After days of fighting, Bai Ze was now physically and mentally exhausted. He didn't want to think about Qing Lin's changes today. She swallowed such a huge amount of demonic energy in one gulp, and she could still stay awake. She was not dominated by the demonic nature and became bloodthirsty and easy to kill.
After all, they were snake eggs bred in the head of the Moon-Watching Black Snake in Hot Spring Valley. They didn't have the assets of a strange beast, and they wouldn't even believe it if they told ghosts.
The young man fell into a deep sleep.
In the second half of the night, Qing Lin obediently emerged from Bai Ze's collar, spitting out snake letters affectionately and licking the side of the boy's face.
Bai Ze had no reaction.
"Hiss." Qinglin tilted his head, climbed into the quilt next to Bai Ze, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep in the warm breath.
But from the moment she curled up, a gentle blue light appeared on her body, wrapping her up completely. From a distance, she looked like a cocoon of light.
If there is a cocoon, there will be a butterfly emerging from the cocoon.
…
Bai Ze had a dream, dreaming that he and Chen Yuanfang went to peek at Chengcun's little Jasmine taking a bath, but they were discovered by her big wolf dog, which chased them and bit them.
"Run!" Chen Yuanfang turned around and ran away.
Bai Ze drooled as he looked at the wolfdog, whose teeth were so sharp that they could bite him through the arm in one bite. He was so excited that he started running after Chen Yuanfang in a panic.
"Bai Ze, hurry up!" Chen Yuanfang urged him as he ran, but Bai Ze couldn't run fast and was about to be overtaken by the wolf dog.
"Woof, woof!" the wolfdog yelled, very fiercely.
"What's going on?!" Bai Ze was anxious. When he looked back, he realized that his neck was entangled with a strange tree vine, which was growing on a ferocious tree demon.
The wolfdog pounced.
"Brother, you have something to say!!" Bai Ze shouted, but the tree demon just tightened his grip tighter and tighter, strangling Bai Ze's neck until he couldn't breathe.
"Woof!!——"
The big wolf dog threw Bai Ze down and tried to bite Bai Ze's head with an ugly dog face.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!!" Bai Ze was so frightened that he woke up from his dream and sat up from the bed, covered in cold sweat.
Damn it, you have indeed done too many immoral things, and you are getting retribution this time. Back then, I and Xie Xuan peeped at little Jasmine taking a bath without being overtaken by her big wolf dog. This time, she was overtaken in her dream.
He even got bitten by that ugly-looking stupid dog!
"That's enough..." Bai Ze suddenly stopped talking, faintly realizing that something was wrong. Why do I still feel like something is wrapped around my neck when I wake up from a dream?
what……
Bai Ze lowered his head and took a look. What he saw was so incredible that he almost frightened him to the point where one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
In the dimly lit room, with the dim light of the oil lamp, Bai Ze suddenly realized that there was someone hanging around his neck! !
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!!" Bai Ze was so frightened that his hair stood straight.
The man was clearly a child. He held Bai Ze's neck tightly with his two small arms. He was naked and curled up on the boy's chest, sleeping soundly.
Bai Ze didn't dare to move, seeing the child's soft short hair hanging down, and his small and cute side face.
It's a girl.
Bai Ze's mind was full of thoughts for a moment.
First, this person is Yu Youwei.
Obviously not.
Second, this person was pushed in by the sergeant accompanying him outside the door.
But this is obviously still a child, even if he is crazy, he will not reach this level!
Third, this man is an assassin.
It would be too stupid for an assassin to sleep on the bed of his target.
So there is only one conclusion, this little girl is probably Qinglin. Bai Ze got lucky, and sure enough, Qing Lin's shadow was no longer around him, leaving only this naked little girl.
"Lu Hao." Bai Ze sent a message, "What is this situation?"
"Congratulations, brother." Jiuselu smiled and gloated, and said seriously: "There is no true love between people of the same race. They are all applauding for the sake of procreation! There is true love between different races!"
White Pond:"……"
At this moment, the little girl in his arms muttered something. Bai Ze didn't dare to move, and he didn't hear clearly what she was muttering. Then he twisted his little body and slowly opened his confused eyes.
Those were a pair of emerald eyes.
It is full of autumn mist, which is intoxicating.
Bai Ze took a breath and asked her: "Qinglin?"
The little girl tilted her head, widened her eyes, and swayed her short hair playfully, looking at Bai Ze without saying anything.
Then he nodded, stepped forward, and licked the side of Bai Ze's face, looking very well-behaved.
"boom!!--"
Bai Ze only felt that the sea of soul and reason evaporated.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. The transformed Qing Lin was startled and stared at the place where the sound came from. At the same time, there was a flash of green light on his body, and he transformed into a palm-sized green snake again, and got into Bai Ze's collar.
"General, midnight is approaching." The sergeant said outside the door.
"Well, I understand." Bai Ze said, pretending to be calm.
The time has come, and the three military ranks have been announced.
The rear gate of Weicheng opened quietly.
