Chapter 1011: Ghost Soldier Military Formation
"Damn, what the hell is this." Everyone was taken aback. Ye Shikai was right, these really are ghosts, they are ghost soldiers, and even more shocking, these ghost soldiers were arranged in a neat phalanx, armor, bronze swords, bronze halberds, shields, showing no signs of rust. Standing at the side of the military formation was a person resembling a sergeant, seemingly the leader of the phalanx.
This was all like when we were chased by a group of the living dead in the Atlantis ruins, with no chance to fight back.
"Family Head Ji, retreat quickly." Ye Shikai hastily shouted. These ghost soldiers were not just clay statues that would shatter with a hit; they were a group of demons.
"Father, Elder Chen, these people are extremely dangerous, we need to retreat quickly." Ji Qian stepped forward to advise. Only then did Ji Tao give the order for everyone to retreat quickly.
"Brother, be careful." Ji Feng shielded Ji Tao, covering him as they retreated.
"What on earth are these creatures, faces ashen, and showing no signs of life." Chen Ligong's face was solemn. He, commanding the White Mist Army, was Ji family's guardian, naturally needing to protect Ji Tao's safety.
"These must be the ghost soldiers within Bai Qi's Relics." Ye Shikai said coldly, eyes fixed on the ghost soldiers in front of them. Now there were paths on both sides, judging by the scale of the ghost phalanx, their numbers were no less than a thousand.
"Family Head, I once heard that after Bai Qi was ordered to commit suicide, thousands of his personal soldiers were buried with him. Although it's not known if this is true, it seems now that they're not here with good intentions." An elder from the Chen family said.
"Be careful, they carry death aura, don't get wounded by them." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, pulling Chen Yuxin back.
"Let's retreat to the left." Ye Shikai shouted loudly.
"Dare to trespass Yuan Gate, kill without mercy." At this moment, the opposing sergeant shouted loudly, emitting a low roar, voice hoarse and deep, like a sound from hell.
Under everyone's gaze, the first two rows of ghost soldiers knelt on one knee, revealing ghost soldiers behind them with crossbows.
"Damn, run quickly." In his urgency, Ye Shikai immediately used water elements, forming an ice shield in front of everyone. Simultaneously, hundreds of arrows were fired, instantly forming an arrow rain, shooting towards everyone.
"Activate the array." Ji Tao quickly reacted, the White Mist Army and Ji family's guards somehow pulled out shields, standing in front forming a shield formation. Ji Tao operated his Inner Strength, the Tai Chi Inner Strength he learned, emphasizing using softness to overcome hardness. Everyone faintly felt a gust of wind, the arrows shot over had become "arrows at the end of their flight", unable to even penetrate the shields.
"Everyone fall back quickly." Li Yueying also sensed the crisis, immediately ordering retreat, pulling out a longsword and lightly waving it, blocking the crossbow arrows in a few moves.
"Protect the young lady." Several female guards from the Li Mansion rushed forward, using shields to protect Li Yueying. Ye Shikai hadn't expected Li Yueying's swordsmanship to be so good, not only having strategy but also martial arts.
A wave of arrows flew over, several unprepared guards were still hit, falling to the ground, wailing non-stop, looking very painful.
"Ah." At this moment, a Hidden Guard's left arm was hit by an arrow, falling to the ground in pain. Ye Shikai immediately stepped forward, grasping his hand, transmitting Inner Strength into his body, but it was blocked by a wave of death aura, unable to advance, and the death aura was infiltrating through the wound.
"Not good, it's death aura." Ye Shikai found no solution. Once the death aura reaches the heart, the person would surely die. Upon raising his hand, he saw the Hidden Guard's arm had already been corroded by the death aura, resembling the hand of a dead person.
"Brother, bear with it for a moment." Ye Shikai delivered a hand chop to knock him out, drawing out a sharp blade to chop off his arm, in no time the severed arm turned into a rotting limb.
"Quickly, take him away." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, two Hidden Guards took care of him, immediately injecting a hemostatic needle, quickly bandaging the wound. Death aura is formed from a thousand years of corpse qi, living people going into a tomb is already life-shortening, let alone having death aura enter the body.
"Yes, sir."
Although the ice shield blocked some arrows, the area was too wide, and Ye Shikai couldn't protect everyone, so he could only rush quickly to the left side.
"Run quickly." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, but there were many people hurrying, and it included three families, making it impossible to retreat entirely, and the road to the left was only so big, not all could get through.
"Moonlight Formation." Ji Qian waved her magic wand, forming an array to make up for the lack of protection, also easing Ye Shikai's burden.
"Damn it, I'll fight you." The Demoness rushed out, taking out a light machine gun, and sprayed it at the ghost soldiers. As the saying goes, a flurry of punches can beat a master to death, and the benefit of random shooting was disrupting the ghost soldiers' formation. The Qin Army from the Warring States period had strict military discipline, trained thoroughly, and the military formation was perfectly coordinated, allowing them to unify the six states. The Qin Army Formation itself had strong offensive and defensive power, first using strong bows and crossbows for shooting, then using the military formation for an impact, with warhorses launching side attacks. The Demoness' round of shooting knocked down several ghost soldiers, but they all were undying, or more accurately, already had the body of the dead, bullets couldn't kill them.
"While now, everyone move quickly." Ye Shikai took out over a dozen grenades from his storage ring, throwing them towards the military formation.
Bang, bang, bang.
Several explosions sounded, the strong shockwave immediately disrupted the ghost soldier formation; it turned out grenades were quite effective.
Indeed, although close combat wasn't an option, shooting from afar could block the ghost soldiers' advance.
"Everyone, charge." The military formation commander shouted loudly, the ghost soldiers seized bronze halberds and bronze swords, charging towards everyone.
"Take this quickly." Ye Shikai instantly produced over a dozen automatic rifles from the storage ring, this made everyone dumbfounded, they didn't know the wonders of a storage ring, and naturally thought Ye Shikai was a magician, conjuring so many firearms at once.
The Hidden Guards, well-trained, immediately picked up the rifles, shooting at the ghost soldiers. While bullets couldn't kill them, they could hinder their movements. The Qin Army's armor was heavy, not allowing quick movements.
When modern firearms meet ancient soldiers, it is a completely different situation.
Not far away, several ghost soldiers rushed forward, the Chen family's guards immediately rushed forward to protect Chen Yuxin. At this time, Chen Yuxin drew the Chunjun Sword, in the relics, the sword body emitted a purplish-green light, slashing at an advancing ghost soldier, instantly cutting one ghost soldier down, who fell to the ground motionlessly.
"Could it be... the Chunjun Sword can kill ghost soldiers." Ye Shikai saw this and was somewhat puzzled.
