Twilight Boundary

Before dawn, Zhao Zhu's bandits had already begun to dig stoves to make food. After eating and putting on their armor, they attacked Miyun County again.

This time, not only did he get the 500 Fire Crow Army that was transferred over, he also asked for another 3,000 soldiers and horses from Zhou Liang, the general on the right. Together, he already had 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command. After raising the big flag, it was also dark and attacking Miyun County.

The number of soldiers and horses guarding the city in Miyun County was no more than a thousand, and even with the forcibly recruited civilians, the number was only about three thousand. Facing the five thousand food-protection army equipped with swords and armor, it can be said that the gap was huge.

However, the opponent had just won a victory yesterday, and their morale was high. They were not afraid and did not huddle in the city. Instead, they pulled out their soldiers and horses and beat drums and waved flags in the open space in front of the city, waiting for Zhao Zhu to lead his men. attack.

The soldiers of both sides met each other and fired arrows to block the formation. They were fifty feet apart. A general from the other side rushed out and scolded the formation.

Naturally, he was talking about rebellious ministers and traitors who should surrender early.

Zhao Zhu ignored him and shouted: "No one knows the reputation of our food-protecting army. What nonsense are you talking to?"

After saying that, he pulled the steel fork and came straight up. He had been injured in his arm yesterday, but after all, he was watching the New Year. After one night, he was almost healed. Now he was holding a breath of anger in his heart, and the steel fork made him feel better. Even more fierce, his moves never leave the opponent's chest.

After the two sides fought for several rounds, the general became timid, dragged his spear backwards, and left in defeat.

The deputy general behind saw the general escaping, and immediately led his troops to come to rescue him. Zhao Zhu was no longer a fledgling, and as soon as he saw the other party fleeing, he knew there was something fishy.

He didn't even give chase. With a wave of his big hand, the soldiers and horses under his hands started to rush toward the opponent. In front of Miyun County, it immediately became a place where the two armies were strangulating.

However, facing the ferocity of the grain-protecting army, the opponent's troops and horses were naturally invincible, and could even be said to be on the verge of collapse. However, just as the grain-protecting army was about to take cover and rush forward, the Miyun County defenders immediately came up with a new plan. After repeating the attack, a group of soldiers and horses hidden in the army came to meet him.

Gongge pulled off the cloak behind him, revealing the large green-skinned gourd on his back. He put it on his shoulders and pointed it at the food security army.

This time, there were actually more people, five hundred people, cutting across the entire battlefield.

But last night, reinforcements also arrived from Miyun County, and now it was the five hundred Gourd Army who went into battle together.

"call!"

As the soldiers and horses carrying the gourds chanted incantations at the same time, they pulled out the stoppers of the gourds, and a dark wind suddenly blew out.

This dark wind carries the sound of howling ghosts, and is bone-chilling, as if it can freeze people's bones and blow away their souls.

The soldiers and horses rushing in front were at the height of their murderous aura when they were blown in the face by the gourd. They were stunned for a moment. It stands to reason that even ghosts and gods would not dare to kill the person on top at this time. Block the road.

But this gourd is different. The mouth of the gourd is sawn short, and you can vaguely see a lump of white and sticky meat inside. No facial features are visible, but there is a mouth. After the stopper is opened, the cheeks puff up. Blow air outward.

The first breath he took out made him clear-headed, and he suddenly realized that he was on a battlefield, and that he was surrounded by swords, guns, swords and halberds.

The second breath made people feel timid and panicked, and their limbs seemed to freeze.

The third breath made people more and more frightened. The body was still in the same place, but the soul wanted to escape from the battlefield in a hurry.

At this point, let alone fighting, it was difficult to stand still and let the opponent cover up and fight.

"Fuck you, the Calabash Army is not a good person!"

Yesterday, he suffered this loss when he attacked the city, but he couldn't see clearly in his panic. This time, Zhao Zhu got closer and took a closer look. He suddenly cursed: "Back then, I followed Brother Mazi in Qingshi Town and fought a battle. What kind of monster do you call Tan'er Cult?"

"Those monster-raising aunts are actually the same as these gourd-carrying guys."

"It's just that the Tan'er teaching is not a good thing at all. It's just a dirty thing. When I was practicing this thing, I still knew how to hide."

"But the Gourd Army actually practiced openly and openly, and then used it to fight?"

"..."

The military advisor Tiezuizi who was watching the battle said in a low voice: "This is the difference between the God-given King and the Ming King. The name God-given King is the most pleasant to hear."

"But he himself has a perverse and vicious personality, and he doesn't care the most. Because he was born to be blessed by ghosts and gods, and has never suffered a loss since he was a child, so he doesn't care about the so-called compassion and kindness. He only wants to be useful."

"This gourd army is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many demons who are good at evil arts under the command of the God-given King!"

"..."

"More ruthless than the fucking Guanzhou Hungry Ghost Army."

Zhao Zhu spat on the ground angrily and said: "The Hungry Ghost Army was extremely cruel back then, but they really couldn't find anything to eat. And these people, Quzhou has had good weather in recent years, and the food is richer than our Mingzhou." , actually practice this evil method!"

"Fortunately, I figured it out last night. I also want to form an army to deal with them."

"..."

Just as he was thinking about it, the flag in the army changed, and the food security troops who were rushing ahead dispersed to both sides at the same time.

A group of people wearing leather and carrying iron frames appeared in the crowd. Facing the rows of green leather gourds, they also shouted in the same way.

Everyone raised his left palm high, and grabbed a sharp scimitar with his right hand. With neat movements, he slashed his left palm with staggered scars. Blood immediately spattered and was smeared on himself. on the chest.

"Hulala..."

As the blood formed a talisman on his chest, there was a ball of fire in his throat, and a crow covered in fire came out of his mouth and flew up with flapping wings.

One by one, they flew in the air, rushing forward against the evil wind blowing out of the green gourd. The evil wind blew, but it couldn't extinguish the fire. On the contrary, the more the evil wind blew, the stronger the fire became.

When you meet a person, you don't burn the cloth or the leather. You just meet the person's flesh and burrow into it.

Seeing this scene, the gourd army was frightened, and slapped the gourd harder, and the wind it sprayed became more violent and heavier, trying to blow the fire crow back.

If you think about it, the Gourd Army is actually somewhat restrained by the Fire Crow Army. If the fire can be blown back, it will be a lose-lose situation.

However, there are also people who are good at using the wind on the food protection army. Behind the military formation, the military advisor Tiezuizi, who was standing side by side with Zhao Zhu, saw Huo Ya and Yin Feng fighting together, so he also let his subordinates take his own. The strong wind flag is coming.

He stood under the flag, cast a spell with his sword, and pointed a finger in the distance, and a strong wind immediately came from behind the flag, followed the guidance of the flag, and blew to the entire battlefield.

The fire crow borrowed the power of the wind, and it was so fierce that it rolled forward in groups like waves.

The gourd army was suddenly overwhelmed by the evil fire, screaming repeatedly, and the flames burned directly into the military formation behind the gourd army, burning the soldiers and horses carrying the gourds to pieces.

"This battle is settled!"

When the military advisor Tiezuizi saw it, he put away the gale flag and clapped his hands and praised: "This Fire Crow Army is taking the right path."

Zhao Zhu looked at the fireballs in the enemy formation. The smell of burning entered his nose, and his eyes widened. He said: "This fire is so poisonous and evil, but you say it is the right way?"

"What do you mean by the right way?"

Military Advisor Tiezuizi said: "Nowadays, there is a demon heaven above and a ghost land below. The laws of the world are all tainted with evil nature. Is it just a sect of ghosts? There are such destructive methods as inviting Yin Lei, let alone other sects?"

"So whether this path is right or not, there is only one criterion, which is whether it is for one's own pursuits or harming others."

"Anyone who seeks the Dharma from himself is the right path."

"The Fire Crow Army's method of refining weapons is to raise a Fire Crow in one's belly. When needed, one can use the essence and blood as a guide to summon it out of the body and drive the Fire Crow to injure the enemy."

"The Gourd Army is cruel to others, but the Fire Crow Army is cruel to themselves."

"They raise this fire crow in their stomachs, which is a great loss to their bodies. Those who can join the fire crow army are all Yuanyang. Anyone who wants to marry a wife and children must withdraw from the army and send this fire crow Extradited to someone else.”

"On weekdays, I can only eat vegetarian food, vegetables and tofu, but I need three raw eggs every day to replenish my body."

"Even if this is the case, every time you go through a battle formation, your essence and blood will be extremely consumed."

"However, it is no wonder that the other party said that each member of the Fire Crow Army will receive three times more military pay than others. If we can bring this Fire Crow Army under our command, let alone three times the military pay, it will be ten times , there are so many people vying for them in this world!”

"..."

During the conversation, they saw that there was no suspense on the battlefield. The opponent's Gourd Army was defeated and drowned in a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing that the fire had weakened a little, the army was about to take advantage of the situation to cover up, but unexpectedly at this moment, the soldiers and horses of the Gourd Army who were drowned in the fire crows, seeing that there was no way to escape, actually shouted at the same time and threw their hands The gourd inside hit the ground.

If the gourd didn't break, he smashed it twice. There was only a "dong-dong" sound, and he didn't know how many gourds there were. Soon, several big holes were broken, and the contents inside came out.

On the battlefield, evil energy suddenly filled the air, billowing black fog billowed up, and countless shrill screams were heard.

The soldiers and horses of the grain protection army who were about to cover up and kill them also felt flustered at the same time. They suddenly saw strange white figures emerging from the gourds. The fire turned blue.

The fire crows flying in the air gradually slowed down, as if shrouded by the dark wind. The fire crows who drove the fire crows began to tremble, and they hurriedly recalled the fire crows into their stomachs.

"not good."

Even the military advisor Tiezuizi was a little surprised by the other party's ferocity.

Seeing that the army was defeated, he actually smashed the gourd and risked his life to cause this big mess so that the rear army could retreat to the city.

If the gourd is smashed, the contents inside will not survive, but before it dissipates, the evil spirit will surely spread.

Normally, such evil things cannot cause trouble in the army. That is because the number of soldiers and horses is large and their popularity is high.

But now there are a lot of these things, which is enough to cause a big mess.

Seeing that the Miyun County general had loudly ordered to withdraw his troops, the soldiers and horses of the food security army who were rushing in front suddenly slowed down. The soldiers and horses behind were affected, and the formation suddenly seemed a little scattered.

Some of them were obviously provoked, with livid faces and strange looks. Some of them actually turned around slowly and raised their swords and guns towards their comrades.

Even the military advisor Tiezuizi did not plan this incident, but when Zhao Zhu saw it, he was shocked and angry: "This is too evil."

"Fortunately, I was prepared!"

"..."

After saying that, he waved the big flag, and a group of school officers behind him each brought two earthen jars, tied them with straw ropes, and put them around their necks. They did not bring swords or guns, so they shouted like this, and from both sides of the army, they , go to the place in the middle where the evil spirits are causing trouble and kill them.

He rushed forward and shouted: "Go to hell!"

He raised the earthen jar in his hand with all his strength, and threw it into the crowd without distinguishing between friend and foe.

There were several "pop" and "pop" sounds, and the whole place suddenly stank, and an unexpected scene appeared in front of them.

There were actually many yellow and white things in the earthen pot. When they were smashed into the field, the burning flame was extinguished, and the things in the gourd squirming on the ground also screamed, little by little. Dissolve.

Even those comrades in the food protection army who were washed away by the evil spirit were splashed all over by this stuff. They felt sick and wanted to vomit for a while, but the evil spirit on their faces was clearly gone.

"You..."

The military advisor Tiezuizi next to him was stunned when he saw this scene.

"Don't you know this thing cures evil spirits?"

Zhao Zhu stared at the field, and when he saw the effect, he was also shocked, and said to Tiezuizi: "I heard you tell me yesterday that this army and that army are all very powerful, and I was thinking about how to defeat them."

"The old people in our village say that those weird things are afraid of dirt, so I asked my soldiers to go to the army overnight to collect all their irritants and wait for the opportunity."

"Unexpectedly..."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the corners of his mouth were grinning from ear to ear: "It's actually so useful?"

"This thing is great. He is the most indispensable in the army!"

"The only thing is that it's a bit of a waste of earthenware pots. I have used all the earthenware pots in the army. My brothers probably have no pickles to eat these days..."

As he spoke, he shouted and rushed forward holding the steel fork.

When passing by the field, he hesitated slightly, reined in the horse's head, and first stirred the steel fork into the dirt on the ground before lifting it up again.

Shouting loudly, Xiongjiujiu charged forward with great energy. Countless soldiers and horses behind him shouted and followed him. The Miyun County soldiers and horses were about to take the opportunity to retreat to the city and guard again, but they did not expect the food security army to rush forward. It came up so fast.

Hearing the loud shouts of killing behind them, their feet became weak and they were too slow to escape. In an instant, they were overtaken by others and they were slashed all the way until they reached the city gate.

It can be seen that the victory of Miyun City is another great achievement, and it will be recorded in Zhao Zhu's name.

"How the hell can this be done?"

The military advisor Tiezuizi was watching this great victory from behind, and he was a little confused. He looked deeply at Zhao Zhugao and said, "The others are all generals like gourds, pagodas, and head-wrapped generals..."

"Is it possible that we are going to have a General Jin Zhi in our food security army?"

"..."

"This little general is quite interesting..."

At the back, among the Fire Crow Army who had accomplished a remarkable feat, a man with a round face and dressed like a rich man sighed softly.

He covered his mouth and nose, and while leading his Fire Crow Army to retreat away from the land full of filth, he looked at Zhao Zhu who was leading his troops into the city in the distance. He was fierce and good at fighting, and said to himself:

"I heard that this man is also an old man from Mingzhou who came from the grain protection army. He has learned the ability to keep the year old, and he dares to fight hard. He was injured yesterday, and he still dares to rush to the front today, but he is also reckless, but he is also smart. …”

"For people like this, when King Ming takes over the world, their future may be limitless. I'm just about to find a good person to entrust my brother to, why not entrust the Fire Crow Army to him?"

"..."

He thought so, and wanted to test Zhao Zhu, but unexpectedly, he captured Miyun City that day, and while there was a banquet of soldiers and horses in the city, he avoided people and quietly mentioned the matter to Zhao Zhu. But he just shook his head and refused:

"don't want!"

"Give this Fire Crow Army to Brother Zhou Liang!"

"I've thought about it. I don't want to train your Fire Crow Army and Wild Boar Army. If I want to train, I want to train an army of ten thousand enemies that can defeat all kinds of evil!"

"..."

"What?"

The round-faced young man was shocked: "My Fire Crow Army is so powerful, yet I'm being despised?"

And as the pioneer officer Zhao Zhu captured Miyun County in a fit of anger, it also represented a big step forward in the grain security army's strategy of attacking Quzhou. Successful reports came from all directions, and the army advanced very fast. In a few days In the meantime, it has entered the boundary of Quzhou.

And if we talk about the most courageous person in the entire army's advance, it must be a female general under the general Shen Hongzhi. She started from a small boss and actually won consecutive battles.

Facing the brave generals under the God-given King, all kinds of magical methods were used to conquer several cities, but the middle general Shen Hongzhi became the fastest advancing party.

Especially when it came time to attack Zaoziling, facing the 20,000 soldiers stationed here under the God-given King, he only brought a few lieutenants with him, then walked out of the army triumphantly, and yelled at the opponent's defender:

"Look carefully at the other side. Grandma Qiaoyun and I are back today..."

"..."

On Zaozi Ridge, the man who was leading the guard was one of the seven generals under the God-given King. He was also a famous warrior. It was said that he could kill people like a man in the altar. Shen Hongzhi knew that he was guarding here. He was also very vigilant and even thought about inviting his concubine to help.

Unexpectedly, the other party was high on the ridge and looked down attentively. When he saw the sweet potatoes burning, he suddenly broke out in cold sweat and said in fear: "It's broken!"

"That devil-headed witch with no limits, madman and evil spirit, the number one demon with a hundred gold reward on the wanted list..."

"...Here we go again!"
