Geling City, Nanwumen. Xue Pingju, the leader of the undead army, glanced at the group of dead soldiers in front of him. These people, including himself, had all survived inhuman training.
These people were brought together because they were good at killing, and what they had practiced for several years was still how to kill.
Wang Luoshen found them and asked them to train hard just for today. Xue Pingju said loudly: "The undead army is not afraid of death, but death is not the goal. What the Lord wants us to do tonight is not to die, but to kill all the enemies and survive." He pointed with the horizontal knife in his hand Pointing in the direction behind him: "That's Nanwumen over there. As long as we hold on for two hours, the army that the father-in-law has prepared will be able to come in and seize the city."
"After today's battle, anyone who survives will have a lifetime of glory. My father-in-law said, he will give the undead army whatever they want!" After saying that, he turned around and said, "Follow me to defend Nanwumen!" Counting! The Thousand Undead Army rushed forward after him, and the ground seemed to be shaking with the sound of their footsteps.
As they got closer and closer to Nanwumen, each of them seemed to have an inexplicable illusion.
The earth that was still trembling under their feet just now became calmer the closer they got to Nanwumen. The moment they saw Nanwumen, the earth no longer even felt the slightest vibration.
how so? There are fierce soldiers in Nanwumen. Lin Ye stood inside the Nanwu Gate, his quicksand array knife poking on the ground. He held the handle of the knife with one hand and looked coldly at the group of people approaching in a menacing manner.
That group of people came roaring like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking. A thousand cowardly and brave soldiers standing here really want to tell the world that if the cowardly army comes again, the mountain will not collapse and the ground will not crack.
Xue Pingju was confused when he saw the previously cowardly and brave soldiers arrayed in order. It was obvious that they should arrive here first to defend the city gate. Why did Lin Ye arrive earlier than them?
"Seize the gate first, then defend it!" Xue Pingju couldn't care less. In his opinion, it made no difference whether he came directly to defend the city gate or captured it and then defended it.
"Kill them all!" Following Xue Pingju's violent shout, the undead army with an evil aura rushed towards the cowardly soldiers like a wave.
Lin Ye watched the group of people gradually approaching. Instead of approaching them, he took two steps back. Two steps, enter the formation.
The moment Lin Ye entered the battle, the timid soldiers neatly raised their crossbows. There is no need to give orders. When people reach the shooting range, the crossbows and arrows are fired.
However, this group of undead soldiers all had heavy armor on their bodies, and the crossbow arrows hit the heavy armor and drew a spark. Xue Pingju laughed: "What can you do to me?!" Lin Ye just stood there, still not giving any orders.
Wherever he needs to give orders. These thousand warriors were all those who followed him all the way to the north and south to fight him. It was dark before and he didn't see that the opponent was wearing heavy armor, so he mostly aimed at the heart.
At this time, the cowardly and brave soldiers all raised their crossbows too high, and in the next breath, the second round of crossbow arrows shot out. This time, the row of undead troops rushing at the front fell down almost at the same time.
A crossbow arrow entered his eye. The undead army, which had been trained rigorously for several years, originally thought that this wave of charge would be able to crush those ordinary soldiers.
They never expected that the shooting skills of those cowardly and brave soldiers would be so terrifying. Few of the crossbow arrows missed, and the arrows went directly into their eye sockets.
The fallen undead army stopped the people behind them, but these people were extremely fierce. After getting closer, they all took off the axes hanging on their backs.
Once the distance was reached, the soldiers of the Undead Army threw their battle axes one after another. A piece of ax flew towards me with a cold light, faster and more powerful.
Just as they threw their axes, the second row of cowardly troops stepped forward. The first row of crossbowmen retreated neatly, and the movements of the two rows were smooth and smooth.
After the second row of shield soldiers came up, they raised their shields. An ax fell on the shield, making a crackling sound. Almost all the axes remained on the shield.
"How to kill the enemy with heavy armor?" Lin Ye asked loudly at this moment. The timid and brave soldiers answered neatly: "Kill at close range." This answer is definitely not the correct answer for ordinary soldiers.
If heavily armored soldiers get close to them, there is no way for ordinary soldiers to survive. The crossbow arrows, horizontal knives, and spears in the hands of ordinary soldiers cannot break through the heavy armor. Once they get close, they will only end up being slaughtered by the opponent's heavy machete.
But when did Lin Ye's soldiers become ordinary soldiers? To deal with heavy armor, they dare to get closer and then attack.
The soldiers of the Undead Army were a little surprised at first, because after those cowardly soldiers fired their crossbows into the air, they did not continue to move. They seemed to stand there blankly, as if they had given up.
Naturally, the soldiers of the Undead Army would not let go of this opportunity. They were all extremely majestic, violent and murderous. At this time, the Cowardly Army was approaching, and this group of people immediately went crazy.
Looking at Lin Ye's fierce soldiers, they actually discarded their horizontal swords. Upon seeing this scene, the undead army became even more arrogant.
Such a heavy person can indeed make the earth tremble when he runs, but the formation of the cowardly army cannot be allowed to change in the slightest.
The first Undead Army soldier rushed forward, raising his heavy thick-backed sword and about to chop it down. Then he saw that the cowardly soldier opposite him was holding a strange weapon.
It was only about a foot long. It was not a dagger, but an... awl, just like the ones the peasant women in the village used to dig the soles of their shoes, only longer.
The moment the heavy sword was raised, the iron awl in the hand of the Cowardly Army soldier jabbed forward, directly passing through the chain armor on the neck of the Undead Army soldier, throwing it through the gap, and stabbing the awl into the throat.
The movement was so fast that the Undead Army soldier didn't even have the slightest reaction. The second Undead Army soldier did not see this scene. He raised the heavy knife like the first man. Fortunately for him, he cut down the knife.
Unfortunately it didn't hit. The Cowardly Army soldier in front of him not only did not dodge, but rushed forward, rushed directly into the arms of the Necromancer Army soldier, shouldered the knife-wielding arm of the Necromancer Army soldier, and then threw him from his back.
This time, I used strength to fight, five points was my own strength, and five points was the strength of the undead soldier's sword.
The heavily armored undead army was thrown to the ground, and the Cowardly Army soldiers immediately pressed down, and the iron awl held in their right hands stabbed the undead army in the eyes.
Once, twice, three times... When he pulled it out at the last time, his eyeballs were still hanging on the iron cone.
Xue Pingju's face immediately turned ugly when he saw his men's charge was frustrated.
"My father-in-law has raised you for many years, and this is how you serve me?!" As he spoke, he rushed over and kicked away the cowardly and brave soldiers in front of him.
This person had a high level of cultivation, and the strength of this kick was no less than a thousand pounds. After one kick, the chest of the cowardly soldier collapsed directly.
Xue Pingju swung his sword across, and the heavy sword stopped just inches away from the neck of a cowardly soldier.
Xue Pingju was stunned for a moment, and when he looked again, he saw that the black and red palm was holding his heavy knife, and it was holding the blade of his heavy knife.
After Lin Ye raised his hand and grabbed the heavy knife, he tilted his head and looked at Xue Pingju. This expressionless look made Xue Pingju startled.
In the next breath, Lin Ye's visor slid down to cover his face. Xue Pingju could only see through the holes where his eyes were located, those eyes that looked so cold even though there was no trace of emotion at all.
"Get away!" Xue Pingju shouted at the top of his voice in order to suppress the fear in his heart. He struggled to pull the knife out, then again, three times... When Lin Ye let go, Xue Pingju pulled the heavy knife back, and he stumbled back.
Xue Pingju stabilized his body, and the fear in his heart became more intense, but he knew that it was impossible to retreat at this time, and if he took a step back, he would be doomed.
"Kill!" Xue Pingju roared again: "Our reinforcements will arrive outside the city immediately, and we will cooperate inside and outside to kill all the cowards!" Following his cry, the undead army that followed up became more fierce, layer by layer. Squeeze forward and rush.
Xue Pingju was right. As long as the army outside the city arrived at this time and attacked from both inside and outside, Lin Ye and his thousand men would not be able to defend themselves.
An hour ago, outside the city, Nian Jingchu called his most effective helper over: "Liu Chongzhi, I have been ordered by the father-in-law to take some people to stay outside the city. Now you lead the army to kill Bennan Wumen. My undead army has taken control of the city gate. Once you lead your army to the rear, you must enter the city as quickly as possible to help my uncle complete his great cause." Liu Chongzhi nodded: "Brother, don't worry, you just have to complete my instructions. The city Let's take care of the matter." After he finished speaking, he waved, and a large group of people formed behind him in darkness, as if there was no end in sight.
These people were Wang Luoshen who took advantage of his connections with the Ministry of Finance and moved outside Geling City year by year. Most of the people in the local government were bribed by the Wang family. The people who were inspected by the Ministry of Household Affairs had long been Wang Luoshen's people, so no one would care at all. .
The people in each village may feel that there are indeed more people moving from other places in recent years than in the past, but how can ordinary people doubt such a thing as treason?
Some people even thought that there was a famine somewhere in Dayu, so there were so many people moving there one after another.
I just don’t think about whether these people who moved here are planning for big things. Liu Chongzhi was personally trained by Nian Jingchu. Whether it was martial arts or military leadership skills, he received the true inheritance of Nian Jingchu. This man was in his thirties, but he was extremely calm.
Therefore, even if Nian Jingchu could not personally lead the army to capture Geling City, Nian Jingchu would not have much to worry about as Liu Zhongzhi was there.
Moreover, the undead army will surely capture Nanwu Gate, so Liu Chongzhi only needs to bring his team to Nanwu Gate as quickly as possible.
In the darkness, the rebels who had received orders tried their best to stay quiet. Apart from the footsteps, there were almost no other sounds, and no one was talking.
Liu Chongzhi walked at the front, looking back from time to time. In order to ensure safety and privacy, he also ordered everyone to wrap their weapons well and not expose them to the moonlight when moving forward.
At this moment, Liu Chongzhi suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture, and those who followed him immediately used the same gesture to stop his companion from moving forward.
The team stopped in a large open space about seven or eight miles away from Nanwumen.
In September, not long after the summer crops were harvested, these vast fields should have looked empty.
"When did there become an extra forest?" Liu Chongzhi frowned. In front, there is a dense forest. It seems to be quite large but still far away. It is full of shadows and looks like a newly planted fruit tree.
It’s not a wild forest, because it’s too neat. At this moment, the sky suddenly lit up. To be precise, the forest lit up first, followed by a sea of fire flying into the sky.
"Rain of arrows!" Liu Chongzhi reacted instantly and shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Rockets! Hide well!" In this wilderness plain, hide well? Where to hide? The neat forest on the opposite side moved.
General Feng Xiu stood in front of the formation, watching the layers of rockets fly past, illuminating the rebel positions.
"Arrow array, press!" Following his order, the archers of the Cowardly Army moved forward and released arrows, layer by layer, layer by layer, one after another.
