The three armies were defeated,
The Battle of Nuotan, which I originally thought was the easiest and could be won by lying down, was the most brutal. A large number of people were sucked into the black clouds and turned into walking zombies. The soldiers and soldiers could still carry the water unicorn to rescue them for the time being.
A large number of servants, a mixture of civilians, barbarians and slaves, were almost empty out of ten camps.
The second was the Yishui battlefield led by Wen Zhong himself. When the turtle dragon turned over, the front army suffered heavy losses. Although many were saved by the imperial master at that time, typhoid fever still defeated many strong men.
Mengchang once heard the elders often say that people who never got sick when they were young will become sick as they grow older. I don’t know if this is true or if it is just an anecdote that the elders casually say when they drink.
The four generals of the Demon family who led the army to conquer the Black City were the ones with the least losses in the battle.
Speaking of this Zan, it is a very interesting strange beast. It looks like a moose, with a river at its tail. Its name is Zan, also known as Zan Jiu.
Originally, Mengchang wanted to see if this magical beast looked like a hippopotamus, swinging its tail to defecate, or if it really had a river on its tail.
It's a pity that the fourth general of the Demon Family did not give him this opportunity.
Mo Li Qing is the most strategic of the four brothers. He may have found inspiration from Mengchang's attempt to steal Yuncheng. The four of them led Zan and the demons out of the city, and Mo Li Red trapped Zan who was chasing the enemy deep into the city. Then the three brothers gathered their forces and directly defeated the black city's garrison and demon army in a field battle. When Ling got out of trouble and wanted to run away, Feng Lin had been waiting for him on the top of the city for a long time.
Just like that, the three brothers worked together to burn Zan to ashes with the power of fire.
Huahu Diao and Moli Shou are responsible for protecting the formation.
After the three hard bones along the Yishui River were chewed away, the several acropolis surrounding Yicheng became decorations. They were destroyed one by one by the generals under the command of the Grand Master, leaving only a lonely Yicheng.
The army rested, and Meng Chang was finally able to take a break. After hanging out with Lu Jia every day for the past few days, he felt that his whole body had turned into the shape of a knife and coin.
But when I thought that I had made a lot of money again, I felt happy.
A minced fish costs three knives, a smooth fish costs five knives, and a ranyi fish costs 10 knives. These were the prices purchased from the soldiers of the Yishui army.
After the heavy snow closed the city, the entire Beihai territory, except for Lu Jia, was basically a caravan formed by the eleven cities outside the customs. He came as a guarantee and asked the soldiers to hunt the three fish, and then sold them back to Lu Jia and the merchants from the eleven cities.
This business is really good.
Lu Jia, who originally had a huge commercial territory in northern Xinjiang, was also very happy. Beihai had always been Yuan Futong's private territory, and the surrounding princes were unwilling to provoke him. His relationship network in Beihai was very weak.
I thought I would just earn some money for transporting military supplies, but I didn't expect that General Mengchang, who stayed in Chaoge's army, would become more and more promising as he got around.
Following him, the business portfolio is getting bigger and bigger.
In addition to being fish sellers, Zhang Kui and his wife also brought back a lot of live fish.
Meng Chang happily worked as a cook for several days, cooking a full fish feast for all the generals in the army, and even the ordinary soldiers were given delicious fish soup.
These fish and strange beasts are better. Jingren and giants have good skills, but they only benefit him.
These ordinary exotic animals and fish can benefit the common people!
Scuba: The power of breathing in water. From Jiao Jiao.
Swimming: Resistance disappears in the water and is not affected by resistance. From the trout fish.
Crossing the current: Gaining the power to travel through water, like a fish in water. From Slippery Fish.
Exploring water: Acquire the five senses in the water, mouth, nose, ears, touch, and eyes. From Ran Yiyu.
The newly acquired ability feels more like giving him the ability to fight in the water.
But strangely, as he acquired more and more of these stamps, he discovered that this stamp did not appear in his mind randomly.
Like newly acquired underwater abilities, the two pairs were entangled with each other like a spiral.
The original Blood Sacrifice, Pure Yang Body, and Sublime Life were all in an irregular sequence. Returning Wind, Kaishan, Three Heads and Six Arms, and Wen Dao were also arranged in the same spiral entangled shape as the underwater abilities.
Fenhuang and the Fire Totem were together, and there was a separate Lingbo lying alone on the side.
After sorting it out like this, Meng Chang seemed to have found some pattern, but he felt that it had nothing to do with it. Maybe as they gained more and more bloodline abilities, they would show their final image on their own?
After studying for several days, he finally failed to master the rules of these abilities, so he simply stopped thinking about it and continued to delve deeper, believing that time would give him the answer.
After working hard for several days, Mengchang finally walked out of the camp after completing all the catch purchases today.
The wind was sunny and the autumn air was crisp. In the blink of an eye, after two years of fighting on the battlefield, he was deeply stationed in the Horn Kingdom City near Yicheng. In the city, he didn't know what happened to his father and little sister.
The last time I received a letter from home was during the spring plowing season. My father said that my mother was in good health and that Xiaoyu was starting to grow. However, my eldest brother, who had been away for more than a year, had not written back home. My father was very angry.
She said she was angry, but in fact she was still worried. She said the strictest words in her heart, but she always remembered them the most deeply.
While constantly urging Meng Chang to fight bravely and not be afraid of death, he also kept urging him to protect himself and return home safely.
However, a rather strange thing happened to my little sister. According to a letter from her father, when an immortal riding a crane passed by Chongcheng, he discovered that the little sister was quite spiritual and wanted to take her back to the mountains to practice.
Cultivation is an excellent thing. If you can live in seclusion in the mountains with this immortal and hide for forty or fifty years before coming out, my little sister should be able to survive this troubled world safely.
I just don’t know what the immortal mentioned in my father’s letter is like, what kind of teaching background he has, whether he is from a famous family or a big sect, or a small mountain view, as long as my little sister is fine, that’s fine.
It's a pity that after seeing the immortal's magic, my father forgot to ask about the immortal's background, and only left a sentence: Erxian Mountain, Magu Cave.
It's been so long that Meng Chang couldn't remember whether there had been any talented people from this fairy mountain Taoist temple when watching TV series before. If it was Kunlun Mountain, Emei Mountain, or Jiugong Mountain, he still had some impression.
The name sounds like the cave of a female fairy. I think the little girl must be fine.
Every time he thought about his relatives at home, Meng Chang couldn't help but smile, took out his bamboo slips and carving knife and started writing.
There is no news from the eldest son, and the second son is on the battlefield. No matter how much his father attaches great importance to military achievements, he is probably worried all day long at home.
Not a word was mentioned about the important events of the family and the country, and the details of the military formation. After thinking about it, most of them were just a few. What official position did I get promoted to, what titles did I get, how much did the grand master think of me? His colleagues in the tent treated each other as guests, and the officers and soldiers under his command Respect and respect.
After carving three volumes, Meng Chang felt that he had endless things to say to his father, but in the end he had no choice but to put down the carving knife, and all his thoughts turned into a long sigh.
A letter from home is worth ten thousand dollars.
These three volumes of family letters are more important than the thousands of gold earned from selling fish. When entrusting Lu Jia to pass the letter, Mengchang also met Zhao Bing. This guy was scratching his head at the gate of the military market. He was holding a blank bamboo slip in his hand. He couldn't carve anything during the day. One word.
Mengchang took a closer look. He couldn't write a complete sentence after holding it for a long time, so he couldn't help but smile.
Then he took the carving knife and helped Zhao Bing finish writing his family letter in the form of questions and answers.
"Sledgehammer, why do you insist on letting your two children study literature? With your talents and the title of military knight from the general, your two children will not be much better than studying literature in the army in the future?"
Zhao Bing looked like someone who had come before, and he hugged Meng Chang, arms around his shoulders: "Chang, you don't understand. What's so good about joining the army? This is what we will do for the rest of our lives. We may die on the battlefield one day." .”
"The child is good at studying literature. I don't expect him to be a person like Prime Minister Qian or Shang Rong in the future. He can be a teacher peacefully in the future, which is better than his father being a general."
Meng Chang couldn't believe what he said. Is this the reckless man he knew? There was actually a kind of Lao Zhuang's philosophy in his words.
When Lu Jia came, the oxcarts in the convoy were full, bringing grain, grass, ordnance and supplies. They were also full on the way back, but half of them were letters from home that were to be delivered to Chongcheng and Chaoge in the future.
The generals are not the only ones who are homesick, everyone here is missing their hometown.
Even Taishi Wen Zhong and Meng Chang saw the old man standing in front of the camp more than once, looking at the crescent moon.
Perhaps what he was looking at was not the moon, but the beautiful merchant under the moonlight.
"Report!!!"
The sound of hurried footsteps woke up the people who were looking at the merchants on their way back. The commander-in-chief and the battalion commander came running all the way.
"Passing the military order of the Grand Master, General Dangwei of the right army led the armored cavalry camp and quickly responded to General Xiong Kang's troops in the southern suburbs of Yicheng."
"What's going on? Isn't it a resting army? Why did Xiong Kang and the others go to the southern suburbs again?"
After hearing the inquiry, the commander immediately replied: "Reporting to General Meng, General Xiong was ordered to reconnoiter Yicheng. The reconnaissance cavalry camp was attacked and is currently retreating. The Grand Master has said that the armor cavalry in the general camp is the most elite, and there are still Please go ahead, the army will arrive shortly."
Meng Chang was confused. With Peter Pan's ability, wouldn't it be great to fly into the sky? Let him run on the ground to save those flying in the sky, it is better to let the four generals of the Demon Family fly over.
However, the military situation was urgent, so he was just confused. The commander obviously didn't know the truth, so he immediately asked Lian Yong outside the camp to summon the armored cavalry of his headquarters to go out.
Thousands of cavalry rolled up Ping Gang, and violent vibrations shocked the peaceful city. The leader was wearing a white armor cloak, riding a handsome horse, and holding a giant ax. He was the mighty general who came quickly from the army and spread the word of bravery and benevolence. Mengchang.
Everyone didn't know what General Meng was going to do with his cavalry, but the military camp in the city had already moved out, and the reconnaissance cavalry was clearing the way, presumably to leave the city.
For a moment, the middle and lower-ranking soldiers were excited and shouted: "General, you are mighty!"
"General, please return in triumph!"
It doesn’t matter what you do, it’s important to give the general the greatest support. After all, there aren’t many young generals who are so benevolent and brave!
After leaving Leicheng and heading west along Nuotan, the cavalry moved to the southern suburbs of Yicheng.
From a distance away, Meng Chang was shocked. In the sky in front of him, more than a dozen black channels surrounded one of the tiny black dots, as if they were attacking something.
Meng Chang signaled to Zou Wu beside him to explore first, and then he dismounted with the armored knights running all the way to replenish his own mounts with water and restore their strength in advance for the battle after Zou Wu returned.
After a while, Zou Wu, who was looking at the hillside, came back and brought incredible news.
"No, please let me sort it out."
Mengchang took a big gulp of cold water, and then asked carefully: "Tell me again, what are those in the sky?"
"General, judging from the mountain and sea catalog you copied in your hand, there should be more than a dozen strange beasts such as Shengyu, Shusi, and Ouzu."
"There are only more than 400 people left in the reconnaissance camp, and behind them... behind them is a tide of beasts."
Mengchang's heart felt a little heavy, and he frowned and asked: "The tide of beasts...are they all alien beasts?"
"That's not true. They are all ordinary beasts, but there are endless numbers at a glance. Most of them are cattle, horses, sheep, tigers, leopards, and wolves, all of which do not interfere with each other, just like ten thousand horses galloping."
…………
There was no way to fight this. He really didn't know that Xiong Kang went to investigate the situation in Yicheng and broke into such a big beast's den. There was no way he could save it.
All beasts are galloping, and if he is given 10,000 cavalry to rush in, even if he can disperse the beasts, these 10,000 cavalry will be useless.
The cavalry is not meant to fight against an army of beasts like this.
"How long will it take to get here?"
"About... half an hour away."
Time waits for no one, and there is not much time to think about it. Meng Chang doesn't have much time to think about it. If he delays for a while, he will have to run with him.
"Lian Yong, take me, Red Rabbit, and take the brothers from the reconnaissance camp to the west. Don't come here. If the beasts go south, you can rest on the spot to recover your strength, and then go around to the dark side on the west side. The city meets.”
"If all the beasts come in pursuit, I want you to take them around for at least an hour and then go south. There will be a dense forest when I come, so I will take them to the dense forest."
"Remember, protect yourself and buy us time."
After saying that, Mengchang changed horses with Lian Yong and asked him to go towards Yicheng.
"Zou Wu, continue to climb high and observe. No matter which direction the beasts come from, return to the dense forest immediately and report back."
"Zou Wu takes the order!"
Watching Zou Wu leave, Meng Chang shouted: "All troops mount up and retreat with me."
It comes violently and leaves quickly.
The cavalry marched to the dense forest and penetrated three miles into it.
Meng Chang ordered his men to dismount and cut wood fifty paces away from the bushes in a grassy area.
The ax fell from his hand, and a large tree that had grown for more than a hundred years fell down. It was then dragged by a war horse and thrown into the dense forest three miles ahead.
Within fifty steps of the dense forest, not a single blade of grass grows.
At this time, Zou Wu also galloped back and informed the beasts of their movements.
"General, when the reconnaissance cavalry battalion changed its route, it seemed that there were strange beasts driving behind it, and all the beasts followed it and headed west."
"Huh? What kind of strange beast is driving the beasts to gallop?"
Zou Wu pondered for a moment, seemingly trying to discern what he saw.
"It looks like a raccoon, with one eye and three tails. Its sound is so loud that it can overwhelm the roar of hundreds of beasts. General, the one who chases away the beasts is Hu. I estimate there are about a hundred of them."
"General, Xi has always lived in groups and has a gentle temperament. He is not like other ferocious and violent beasts. Now he is making harsh and stern sounds to intimidate all beasts. I am afraid there are hidden beasts behind him."
Mengchang didn't answer. The man behind the scenes was not something that should be considered now. The most important thing was to solve the problem of Xiong Kang and the reconnaissance camp first.
"Brothers, speed up. After a moment, throw the felled trees into the dense forest ahead, then retreat to Nuotan and form a formation to wait."
"Xin Ping, you take a few brothers back first and warn General Deng Chanyu along the way to seal the city tightly. Then you go to the Grand Master in person and ask for help!!"
"You can give me a piece of advice to the Grand Master. Don't add fuel to the fire. The army will come as soon as possible. Black City and Leicheng City also need to be on guard.
