Dafeng’s Night Squad

Chapter 1483: Chapter 51-a kind person can not command an Army (1)

The undead put the wooden box in front of Xu Qi ‘an and turned away.

“Ka BA!”

Xu Qi ‘an’s fingertips pressed on the copper lock, and the Qi replaced the key to make the lock pop open.

The moment he opened the wooden box, he smelled anti-corrosion and insect repellent powder. There was a roll of animal skin in the box.

If it wasn’t for the fact that it was made of animal skin, the age of this map was definitely more than two thousand years. In the era of the Confucius Saint, the carrier of books was bamboo slips, but animal skins were even older than bamboo slips … Xu Qi ‘an thought to himself as he unrolled the half-rolled animal skin.

After unfolding it, one could see that the map was torn from the middle, and it was the left half of a complete map.

The map was drawn in a strange way. It was covered with twisted and irregular lines, similar to the map in Xu Qi ‘an’s previous life.

Other than the lines, there were no words.

I remember that when I was studying, the topographic map also had these messy lines … Xu Qi ‘an looked at you Shi and said, ”

“Has this map been deciphered?”

Of course, this map could not be the same as the one in his previous life.

You Shi shook his head.

“My father has studied it and believed that the lines on the map represent the mountains and the ley lines. Only warlocks can understand it. And even if it’s a sorcerer, to find the corresponding area in nine regions is like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

It was precisely because he couldn’t find it that he happily traded it to Xu Qi ‘an.

In any case, if he stayed in the corpse worm tribe, there was a high probability that he would be sealed forever. In that case, he might as well use it to exchange for the ancient corpse to be preserved in the tribe for a few days.

Thinking about that perfect corpse, you Shi’s heart beat faster and his blood boiled.

Xu Qi ‘an’s ears twitched. He heard the moans of the women in the yard suddenly become louder and more intense.

He didn’t take it to heart and took out the coffin from the fragment of the book of the nether world on the spot. Then, he put away the wooden box that contained half of the map.

“By the way, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Don’t do anything strange to it, or you’ll be affected by karma. Although I feel that the karma on it has been completely removed.”

Xu Qi ‘an reminded him with a smile.

‘You Shi’ looked at him with his white eyes and said,

“There’s an old saying in our corpse worm tribe-those who can’t hold back their desires can’t achieve anything.

“As long as there’s hope for fourth-grade, they’ll be able to resist the temptation of the vital Gu. Although my clan doesn’t prohibit such things, those who break the rules with corpses are all good-for-nothing dogs.”

……… Xu Qi ‘an’s face slowly stiffened.

You Shi didn’t notice his unusual expression. He was engrossed in admiring the ancient corpse. He waved his hand.

“Let’s go. Don’t disturb me.”

……….

When Xu Qi ‘an returned to the strength Gu tribe, the sun was high in the sky. It was a quarter past seven in the morning. He went back to his room to see Luo Yuheng.

The National Master was sitting cross-legged and cultivating. When he saw him coming in, he opened his beautiful eyes and smiled. He was like a beautiful woman who loved to smile in the flowers in spring.

Oh, little Xi … Xu Qi ‘an heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao Xi and Xiao Ai were both positive personalities. They always had a happy expression on their faces and did not have any negative emotions. They were also willing to follow his wishes during the dual cultivation.

the southern border is so good. The climate is warm, and the birds are chirping and the flowers are fragrant. I’m very happy.

Luo Yuheng said with a smile.

there are many mosquitoes. Last night, I helped state preceptor to smack the mosquitoes, and my buttocks were red.

Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.

Luo Yuheng glanced at him shyly, but he did not get angry. He was still happy.

If it was the ‘angry’ personality, he would’ve sent me to heaven with. single sword strike … Xu Qi ‘an then looked at Xu lingying, who was fast asleep on the bed, and asked, ”

“Why did lingying come back to sleep here?”

Luo Yuheng said helplessly, ”

not long after you left, she ran in and said that she suspected that master Lina wanted to eat her. She was afraid and came to find you, but you weren’t there.

……… “Did you find a bite mark on your wrist?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Luo Yuheng nodded.

After her ringtone was promoted, her appetite had obviously increased. When she returned to the capital in the future, her aunt would cry … Xu Qi ‘an didn’t know what to say, so she could only pray for her aunt in her heart.

On the third day, the Warriors of the heart Gu clan, corpse Gu clan, strength Gu clan, and dark Gu clan had assembled.

Among them, the heart Gu tribe had 500 flying beast soldiers, the strength Gu tribe had 400 Warriors, the corpse Gu tribe had 600 mature corpse controllers, and the Shadow Tribe had 800 elites. In total, there were 2300 Gu clan members and 1000 extremely powerful walking corpse puppets.

The mighty team of more than 3000 members left the southern border and headed for Qingzhou.

It was worth mentioning that Lina’s big brother, mo sang, was also in the expedition team of the strength Gu tribe.

As for Lina herself, she planned to consolidate strength Gu and absorb the Gu God’s qi and blood before heading north to Qing Zhou to participate in the war and train her gu path.

The strength Gu tribe was both happy and worried about the 400 elites going out. They were happy because the food for this group of people would be handed over to Da Feng. The elders secretly ordered the young men,

“Eat as much as you can, and eat until you become poor from the Central Plains” Granary.”

The worry was that after this group of people left, there would be a shortage of hunters. The old people who used to only do farming or did not work at all now had to roll up their sleeves and go into the mountains to hunt.

………….

Late at night!

In the military tent ten miles away from Songshan County, Zhuo Haoran sat at the conference table. In front of him was a Copper Basin with a roasted leg of lamb in it.

He held the leg of lamb in his left hand and bit it hard, while the long knife in his right hand was stained with blood.

On both sides of the conference table, the generals were silent.

A huge battle had just ended. The Yunzhou Army under Zhuo Haoran’s command had defeated the defenders of Da Feng, who had attacked them through the night. Such ambushes had happened from time to time in the past few days.

The generals sneaked a glance at Zhuo Haoran and did not dare to speak. The atmosphere in the tent was tense, and only the sound of Zhuo Haoran gnawing on a lamb leg could be heard.

The five day deadline had long passed, but they still hadn’t taken down Songshan County.

Not only did they fail to take it down, but the Yunzhou Army also suffered heavy losses.

Zhuo Haoran was a valiant general, and his individual combat ability was outstanding. His strategy for attacking Songshan County was to organize the refugees to use up the enemy’s cannonballs, crossbows, and arrows.

There was also Blackwood, kerosene, and other city-guarding armaments.

During this period, he sent experts to blend in with the refugees and wait for an opportunity to climb up the city wall and destroy the cannons and ballistae.

This move had achieved outstanding results.

On the third day, the defending Army only had two cannons and one ballista left. They couldn’t do much and could only use black wood, kerosene, and archers to fight against the Yunzhou Army.

Upon seeing this, Zhuo Haoran immediately dispatched the elite infantry that had been lying dormant for three days to attack the city.

However, just as the Yunzhou Army’s elite infantry entered the firing range of the cannons, the cannons on the city wall suddenly fired. The arrows were fired like lightning, and the fierce fire directly stunned the elite infantry.

After the attack on the city was fruitless, they left seven to eight hundred people behind and hastily retreated.

Naxu Xinyi still had a batch of cannons and ballistae, but he had endured and not used them in the first three days, even though the city guards had suffered heavy casualties in the process.

Zhuo Haoran had to admit that the man was a qualified leader just from the words ‘a kind man would not command an Army’.

The general had said that the essence of war was to win at all costs.

Since they could not take them down head-on, Zhuo Haoran secretly divided his troops and had the elite soldiers launch an attack from the dangerous peaks in the South during the night. In the end, they stepped on animal traps that covered the entire mountain and the deep pits where sharp wooden stakes were stuck.

Other than the experts who could break through, the soldiers suffered heavy losses.

Zhuo Haoran considered the fact that Songshan County hadn’t had any rain for half a month, and the mountains were dry. They might burn the mountains during the new year, so he gave up on the idea of going around the dangerous peaks to attack the city guards.

On the night of the fourth day, drums suddenly sounded from the top of the city wall, followed by the sound of horse hooves.

The attack on the city during the day had failed. The exhausted Yunzhou Army thought that the enemy had attacked and led the Army to meet them. In the end, they found out that the enemy had not attacked at all.

After a few times, the cloud state Army was exhausted.

At dawn, the drums sounded again, but the rebel army in Yunzhou did not take it seriously. They only symbolically sent out Scouts and a small number of people to check on the situation.

In the end, they were attacked by 1000 light cavalrymen, and the Yunzhou Army suffered more than 2000 casualties.

A third of the six thousand elites had been lost.

On the fifth day, Zhuo Haoran ignored the losses and forcefully attacked the city. However, he returned in defeat and suffered heavy losses along with the city guards.

However, at night, the city guard used the same trick again, causing the Yunzhou Army to be unable to bear the disturbance.

It was now the seventh day, and the 4000 men from the refugee organization had all died. Only 3000 of Zhuo Haoran’s 6000 elites were left.

On the city Guard’s side, there were nearly two thousand people.

From the number of people on both sides, it seemed like they couldn’t take down Songshan.

Zhuo Haoran swallowed the last mouthful of meat and glanced at the generals coldly.

“Let the soldiers have a good sleep. There won’t be any more attacks tonight.

“I’ve had enough sleep. The city will be broken at dawn!”

His expression was calm and composed, and he spoke with confidence as if the city would be broken at dawn.

………….

Miao you Fang and Zhu Jun led the five hundred cavalrymen through the city gate and returned to the main camp.

“General Zhu, Erlang is riding a bull on the city wall. Shall we go up and have a few drinks?”

Miao Youfang invited him warmly.

Zhu Jun was a thin middle-aged man of few words. He was the only rank four in Songshan County and was in charge of guarding the north gate.

It was because of his presence that Xu Erlang dared to order the cavalry to attack the enemy camp. Otherwise, they would only be courting death.

He shook his head and said, ”

“Let Lord Xu bring it to the north gate. Let’s forget about the wine.”

With that, he led his men and galloped away.

“Boring!”

Miao Youfang shook his head, dismounted, and climbed up the steps to the top of the city wall.

There were iron pots on the horse track, and the soldiers were eating meat around the pots.

Their faces were filled with smiles of happiness as they ate the meat in large mouthfuls. Their enthusiasm was high.

Miao Youfang looked at the excited faces of the soldiers and thought of the conversation he had with Xu Erlang during the day.

Xu Erlang forcibly commandeered the cattle, dogs, chickens, and ducks of the people in the county to reward the soldiers guarding the city and compensate them with a small amount of rice.

At first, Miao Youfang felt that it was inappropriate. He thought to himself,”isn’t this like robbing the people of their property in disguise?”

However, Xu Erlang told him that in times of war, the interests of the soldiers would always be the top priority, followed by the common people. The soldiers had been fighting for days and were exhausted, but eating meat could boost their morale.

As for the commoners, if they couldn’t defend the city, their ending would be even worse.

Miao Youfang now felt that what he said did make sense.

He walked straight into the Barbican and saw Xu Erlang bending over the table, examining the map. He frowned and said nothing.

“Erlang, according to what you’ve said, they should withdraw their troops tomorrow,”

“If there are no reinforcements, that is indeed the case.”

Xu Erlang looked up, ”

“But I think that the reinforcements from the rebel army of Yunzhou will be here soon.”
