NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45: The Battle between Humans and Ghosts
In the evening, the Jing'an Army gave up the squad hunting mode and regrouped.
Of course, the focus of the gathering was the elite warriors of the subordinate counties and the Shenbi Xuanjia. The other battalion soldiers were just incidental and would not play much role in the real fight.
The reason why the Jing'an lieutenant re-activated the city guard troops to change guards was to prevent the painted skin ghost from retaliating against his battalion soldiers.
As for whether the city guard troops who changed guards again would be attacked by ghosts, he could not care so much.
After all, the Jing'an Army and the city guards are two systems. As a superior, he will only try his best to protect his soldiers, and the city guard troops where ghosts are hiding will not be valued by him.
Qu Du of the city guard army is not a fool. He watched how the elite soldiers killed ghosts for an afternoon, so how could he not understand the dangers of the night.
"The damned Jing'an Army simply doesn't treat us city guards as human beings. They angered the ghosts in the city and asked us to stand guard at night.
Tell the brothers below that it's OK to just pretend to patrol tonight, and the soldiers on duty at the four gates should not leave the city gates at night."
"Qu Du, this is not good. The Jing'an lieutenant is not someone who can be easily messed with. If we take the opportunity to be sneaky, I'm afraid he will hold it against us.
If he submits a document to the county office at dawn, how should we explain it?"
"Explanation? We have explained it to him. Who will give us an explanation?
Whoever is brave enough to live long enough, I will never stop him. If you want peace, just be lazy once.
He can't punish all of us. As long as the lives of the brothers can be saved, I will not be the city guard Qu Du anymore."
If Zhou Yuan was here, he would definitely find that there was not only a blood bar on the head of the city guard Qu Du, but also identity information [Level 12 Painted Skin Warrior].
However, even if he is a painted skin, his actions are under the banner of protecting his subordinates, and people can't find any fault with him.
After he appeased the city guards, he quickly returned to Chunrongfang in the east of the city and Luo's mansion, the assistant to the county prime minister.
"Lord Luo, as you said, the Jing'an school lieutenant is a selfish master.
Now the four gates in the city are back in our hands, and the route out of the city is worry-free."
"Okay, tonight we will fight and retreat, lead the Jing'an army out of the city, and let them think that the secret place where we came from is hidden outside the city, not inside the city.
As long as we get out of this city, there are people they are looking for in the vast wilderness, so we can be truly safe."
When Luo Ying, the assistant to the county prime minister, was communicating with Qu Du, a painted skin warrior hurried over.
"Lord Luo, the regrouped Jing'an Army is heading straight for Chunrongfang. The surrounding people were led to the West Minfang by their soldiers."
"Don't panic. I knew that they would not just wipe out some gangs and brothels when they entered the city. The county officials are their real target.
Let all the tribesmen take off their armor. Although the iron armor of the city guards is crude, it is much stronger than the hemp clothes.
Also, bring more large shields and bows. Although their ghost-killing arrows are powerful, they will not have much effect as long as they can't hit us."
"Yes, sir."
With the painted skin of the city guard Qu Du, the city guard arsenal has long been controlled by the painted skins.
Although they cannot use the city guards to attack the Jing'an Army, they still have the ability to activate their weapons.
"Manning, you are our best fighter, so you will play the role of mother tonight.
After mother changes her fate and gives birth to flesh and blood, all our efforts will be rewarded."
"Why bother to say more, Mr. Luo? Manning can't fool the blood test. Since there is no way out, why not fight with them?"
"Okay, let them lose some lives today, let them win meritorious service, and protect our place to settle down."
Luo Ying, assistant to the county prime minister, looked at the secluded courtyard from a distance, hoping that his mother could succeed, otherwise their fight would lose its meaning.
When the painted skins were wearing armor and preparing for battle, the Jing'an Army also surrounded Chunrongfang, and a war between humans and ghosts was about to break out.
"Order the soldiers of the three battalions to attach blood arrows to their spears and stand in formation; order the military officers in the army to use the spiritual liquid to act as the eyes and ears of the soldiers and command them to attack.
My assistant soldiers escorted the nearby people into the Yaowufang in the west of the city and stationed there to maintain public order."
"Yes."
As the military orders were issued one after another, the assistant soldiers withdrew in an orderly manner, leaving behind 1,200 regular soldiers from the three battalions.
"Order the black armors to use the spiritual liquid, attach the evil arrows to their spears, and patrol Chunrongfang.
Order Du Bo Zhou Yuan to temporarily supervise the divine arms, climb the wall and the top, and wait for an opportunity to snipe and kill the evil spirits and ghosts."
"Yes."
As soon as Zhou Yuan climbed up the three-story wooden building in the market, he saw an official wearing the Dawei standard black robe, shouting outside.
If the soldiers of the Wuwei Camp had not forcibly stopped him, he would have even rushed into the military formation.
"Captain Jiang, I am the county magistrate Wang Hun, and my son is still in Chunrongfang.
My son is a human, not a demon. I personally pricked his blood for a physical examination this afternoon. You must not kill him."
At this moment, the county magistrate Wang Hun was extremely upset.
When their family evacuated Chunrongfang normally, their son Wang Li suddenly shouted that he wanted to protect Zhang Manning and ran away secretly.
He knew that asking the Jing'an Army to distinguish between painted skins and ordinary people was making things difficult for these soldiers.
If his son dared to appear in the streets of Fangshi at night, he would most likely be shot and killed as a painted skin ghost.
Therefore, he wanted to see the captain of Jing'an very much and asked the captain to send the county warriors to save his son's life.
But at this time of war, his request could not be met, and the captain of Jing'an, as the commander of the central army, could not see him.
In the end, the heartbroken county magistrate was carried away by the assistant soldiers, and he could not even see any military officers in the army.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Wuwei camp still passed his request to the captain of Jing'an, but did not get any response from the cold-faced captain.
"Beat the flame drums, and throw flaming oil arrows towards Luo Mansion three quarters southeast."
After the military order was issued, the soldiers of the Shesheng Camp ignited the arrows attached to the oilcloth, and fired a rain of flaming arrows towards Luo Mansion.
The soldiers of the Wuwei Camp also held a variety of fire starters and threw them into Luo Mansion in a small team assault mode.
Captain Jing'an's move was not only to force out the Painted Skin Ghost in Luo Mansion, but also to create a stable light source.
Under the effect of the dull drum sounds, the ability of the flame to spread was partially weakened, and the ability to burn rapidly was partially amplified.
Only after a quarter of an hour, the wooden buildings in Luo Mansion became a stable light source, and the fully burned state greatly reduced the smoke and dust it produced.
"Kill, break through the army formation of the government army, and avenge the kinsmen who died in vain in broad daylight."
"Team one, team two, and team three will shed their skins and become ghosts, and kill the soldiers of the government army."
"Let Wang Li take over. As long as the Jing'an Army shoots him, the county office and the military fort will be disunited, and it will be difficult for them to enter the city again."
Five teams of painted skins in iron armor rushed out from various mansions, each team with about a dozen or twenty people, with a total of less than a hundred people.
But their strength should not be underestimated. Multiple teams attacked different targets separately, and three teams of ghosts cooperated in the action. As soon as they came into contact, they caused some damage to the Wuwei Camp.
On the side of the Jing'an lieutenant, eight county warriors were quickly deployed into the formation to stabilize the army formation that was under attack.
But the leader of the love, Wang Li, who rushed to the front, died. He was a level 2 monster and was so weak that he was pierced through the chest by a Wuwei Camp soldier.
At this moment of military confrontation, let alone him, even if a lieutenant like Cai Cheng stood on the opposite side, the soldiers of the Wuwei Camp would stab him to death.
Therefore, Wang Li, the leader of the conspiracy, was destined to be unprotected, and he could only become a disposable tool to intensify the conflict.
Zhou Yuan didn't even notice his death, and was concentrating on watching the Yin Gui team shoot arrows.
"The Shenbi team quickly shoots the Yin spirits and eliminates the intangible targets."
