"Hurry up and notify the militia to come and kill the corpse..."
Zhao Guanren leaped from the back of his horse, suddenly jumped among several
corpses, swung a heavenly sword and slashed violently. Without the assists of
the blue and white long sword, he couldn't make more than ten meters of
swordsmanship in a single blow. , His cultivation base can only release a
sword energy that is more than two meters long.
"Come on! Too many..."
Li Zinan suddenly leaped over in the air, grabbed him and jumped to the bank
of the river. It turned out that a tens of meters long embankment had been
placed in the river. The corpses that flowed down the river were blocked by
the embankment, nearly a thousand. The corpse people are thumping, and the
shore in front is also full of corpses.
"How could this happen, where did the corpse man come from..."
Zhao Guanren looked around in disbelief. The corpse were constantly floating
down from the upper reaches. There were as many as thousands of corpses that
could be seen alone. It is estimated that there are more sinking in the water,
but this is by no means the corpse who was crushed by them. It takes at least
half a day to go from outside the valley to the upper reaches.
"There is a warship!"
Li Zinan suddenly pointed to the upstream, and only looked at a big red
official ship, which was drifting down obliquely. The hull and sails were
covered with blood stains. When Zhao Guanren opened the binoculars to take a
closer look, there were a large number of corpses. People gnawed corpses on
the battleship.
"Worry! The corpse has surpassed us, and we passed the river directly..."
Zhao Guanren put down the binoculars with a gray face, but suddenly heard a
"crash" sound. A huge white python jumped out of the water. With a sweep of
its tail, dozens of corpses were swept away, and then he opened his mouth
wide. Swallowing left and right biting, directly ate the dead people on the
river bank.
"Yujiaolong! Why are you here..."
Zhao Guanren yelled in surprise. When Lu Datou and others evacuated from
Jinling City, they let Yujiaolong swim to Gusu City to wait. Zhao Guanren was
worried that it would be transformed in half way, but even the corpse dared to
eat it. , Obviously not afraid of corpse poison.
"Hiccup~ Too much! I can't eat anymore..."
Yu Jiaolong unexpectedly raised her head and burped, twisting the billowing
snake onto the shore. The illusory Princess Xiang appeared directly on the
ground, rubbing her belly and said: "The people from Gusu City asked me to
tell you that the fleet is coming. No more, many corpses have already crossed
the river!"
"Where did the corpse man come from, why did he go around in front of us..."
Zhao Guanren looked at her inexplicably, and Yu Jiaolong tilted her head and
said, "I don't know! Last night there was a corpse who dived across the river.
At first there were not many scattered, but it was not counted until noon.
Even the corpses of the fish in the river have changed, and even I dare to
bite them!"
"Wow~"
Before Yu Jiaolong's words were over, a finless porpoise shot out of the
water, and dozens of tentacles grew out of its belly, which looked like a
javelin and shot at Zhao Guanren, but Yu Jiaolong turned his head and gave a
"crack" directly. Swallowed the finless porpoise.
"Where the ** did this come from..."
Zhao Guanren asked anxiously: "Yujiaolong! How is Gusu City now? The Jiangbei
Army can't defend it. Have the people evacuated?"
"It's okay for the time being, there are only a few who cross the river..."
Yu Jiaolong said: "A person named Wang Rushan asked me to tell you that the
corpse man is garrisoning troops on the other side of the river. He has
already captured the wharf on the riverside, specifically attacking the
passing ships, and gathers at the pier without attacking the city. He feels
that the corpse man I want to trap you here and not let you cross the river!"
"Is the corpse man so smart?"
Li Zinan became suspicious, and Zhao Guanren shook his head and said:
"Ordinary corpses don't have this kind of IQ. Demon generals have to
experience a long time to become smart. Even Ye Yunchen would not be so smart,
and it should still be in the main force. I am afraid that something strange
will appear again!"
"This is wrong..."
Li Zinan frowned and said: "Even if humans are in command, he will not know
that we are waiting for the boat to cross the river, unless as before, there
are small corpses in the team to inform us, so that we can be trapped here
just right. , Otherwise it would be too coincidental!"
"But even if there is a small corpse, it can't communicate with the demon
general..."
Zhao Guanren looked back at the city in the distance and said worriedly: "We
can also cross the river without a boat, but the speed will be greatly
reduced. The narrowest part of the river is also thousands of meters long. At
least three kilometers of iron ropes are needed, and they need to be used. Two
wooden towers will do!"
"I know your brains are so good..."
Li Zinan suddenly said: "As long as you let my family cross the river, I won't
have to pay for the next three years. I can't help much here. I will tell Feng
Linjun to come and kill the corpse. Think about it. Countermeasures, I know
you can do it!"
"Let Feng Lin Jun stay still, just ask Tuan Lian to deal with this corpse,
take a shield and a spear..."
Zhao Guanren hurriedly ordered, Li Zinan immediately jumped on the horse and
ran away, but Yu Jiaolong stared at his back and said, "Master! Although I
can't see it, I have a strange feeling. Something seems to be following. He,
and...you!"
"Damn! Don't scare me..."
Zhao Guanren hurriedly opened his soul-chasing eyes, but did not find anything
in Li Zinan, and then he showed himself before and after, but he still found
nothing, he said depressed: "Xiaojiao! Are you not? The corpse man eats too
much, what adverse reaction has it produced?"
"I can't say it, anyway, it's a kind of plausible feeling..."
Yujiaolong shook his head helplessly, and followed a few corpses who climbed
up with the tail of the snake. Zhao Guanren said again: "Xiaojiao! Go and get
the warship in front of you. If there are other ships, also pull it up. Come
here, watch out for the corpse fish yourself!"
"I am the overlord of Jiangli, no one can hurt me..."
Yujiaolong plunged back into the river, and dragged several official and
merchant ships over. Tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops also rushed in,
placing shields and door panels in front of them, and lined them up on the
bank of the river, as long as there were corpses. When he landed ashore, he
stabbed him with a single shot, and the strong crossbow and hunting bow were
all in place.
"Come here from the Ministry of Engineering, don't ** stand with your
hands..."
Zhao Guanren hurriedly summoned a group of officials and said: "Immediately
arrange for the civilians to get on the boat and cross the river. Bridges
should be built on both sides of the river. A bridge hole must be left under
the bridge to prevent the river from overflowing the bridge, and the river
must not be launched. It has been contaminated!"
"Lord!"
A servant of the Ministry of Engineering said anxiously: “The tools in the
city are limited, and the iron ropes cannot be made too thick. If there are
not enough boats to serve as pontoons, we are worried that we will not be able
to bear the weight of one kilometer, and there is not enough iron. We have to
keep the iron pot. Let’s cook!"
"Why are you a servant of the Ministry of Engineering, you have gone through
the back door..."
Zhao Guanren said angrily: "If you don’t have enough iron chains, make a few
more. If you don’t have enough iron, you can add copper material. If you don’t
have enough copper material, you can apply hemp rope. So many women eat dry
meals in their spare time. The beams of the door panels are also removed for
me, and I can use everything that I can use!"
"Yes!"
A group of officials ran away in a hurry, but Zhao Guanren saw them getting
more angry, so he simply hired a group of experienced civil servants and asked
them to join the Ministry of Industry as officials on the spot. While working
as supervisors, they would brainstorm ideas. The working people are definitely
better than the officials. They are reliable.
The sky was completely dark, but the lights on both sides of the river were
still brightly lit. The civilians were carrying stones and wood like a long
dragon. The walls of Rongma County were all demolished, and the women were
also busy, putting the fragrant food into the sky. Continuously sent to the
front line.
"master!"
Qiu Ning and other women ran over from the back, and a wooden shed was built
on the river bank. Zhao Guanren was sitting on the high platform eating
noodles, and Yu Jiaolong had also run away missing.
"The battle outside the valley is over..."
Qiu Ning jumped up and said: "But there are still many corpses under the
corpses. The soldiers can only guard at the edge of the cliff in shifts, and
the scouts can only wait until dawn before letting them out. Eagle, it almost
hurt General Fenglin!"
"It's all small things..."
Zhao Guanren put the bowl down and said: "I have been thinking about who is
controlling the corpse army on the riverside and why it knows to intercept the
fleet and prevent us from crossing the river. Moreover, Baibai and Xueji must
have encountered a major event, otherwise It won't be delayed until now!"
"There should be no more ghosts, what did Yu Jiaolong say..."
Qiu Ning sat next to him and kindly helped him light a cigarette. Zhao Guanren
frowned and said, "Yujiaolong said that there was something following me and
Chestnut, but neither of us found anything, so I was wondering if it would be
The reason why we have been in corpse poison?"
"impossible?"
A group of people all looked at him in amazement, but Zhao Guanren stood up
again and said: "I have done everything that should be done. After Jiang, I
will let Edison Chen as the emperor. If the punishment still refuses to let
the humans go, let's do it well. Prepare to live in Mobei!"
Zhao Guanren walked down after he finished speaking. Li Zinan followed with a
knife in silence. At this time, the simple stone bridge on the river bank had
been laid. In order to be more reliable, the stone bridge made a special turn
and bypassed the deepest point, using many thick houses. The beam is used as a
pile foundation, and the thick gate has become a bridge deck.
"Chestnut! Do you have any strange feelings, such as something staring at you
all the time..."
Zhao Guanren raised his flashlight and walked onto the stone bridge. Li Zinan
followed behind and said softly, "No! If there is something I can't detect, it
must be the black monster I saw after being poisoned. I feel it has been in my
heart. Did not leave, seems to be looking for a chance to kill me!"
"Um!"
Zhao Guanren stopped on the bridge made of the city gate, looking at the
rushing river, and said: "If it is the sequelae of corpse poison, I am not too
worried. No matter how strong the corpse is, it is a man-made disaster. The
most feared is natural disasters. In case the upstream water rises, it will be
over!"
"I think..."
Li Zinan suddenly frowned and said: "If something follows us, it will know
what we are doing here. If I were it, it would send more corpses to jump into
the river and destroy the stone bridge we built. Only in this way can we break
our retreat!"
"It makes sense!"
Zhao Guanren raised his flashlight subconsciously, and headed towards the dark
upstream, when he suddenly found that the dense water was full of human heads,
like a flood that burst a bank...
