I became an NPC in Wuxia Paradise

Chapter 164 Named Mutated Beast

Four days later, Changping, late at night.

In one of Zhao Jun's tents, Lian Po and Nightingale looked at the map in front of them, studying the next step.

Five days ago, Lian Po and Nightingale teamed up and managed to get Zhao's 30 troops out of the encirclement encircled by Qin's army.

I wanted to take advantage of the Qin army's unpreparedness to launch a counterattack,

However, the soldiers of the Qin army fought too bravely, and with two generals, Bai Qi and Wang Lu, commanding them, the situation was not as good as expected.

After the attack was blocked, the soldiers of Zhao State felt that they had rushed out of the siege, and the original momentum of fighting to the death gradually dissipated.

This made the tactical and psychological advantages brought by Lian Po's initial surprise attack all gone.

Soon the battle fell into a stalemate. After leaving tens of thousands of soldiers dead, each retreated to a new position.

In the end, the Zhao army who counterattacked did not succeed, and the attempt to encircle the Qin army again also failed.

This battle seems to be evenly divided, and no one can do anything about it.

But in terms of numbers, Zhao Jun was at a disadvantage.

Psychologically, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Jun's nominal coach, still has [-] robes and is still deeply trapped in the enemy's battle.

In terms of food and grass supplies, it is also impossible to achieve the three full meals that should be given during wartime.

It can only be guaranteed that whoever is responsible for night watch and patrol will eat more, and the others will eat less, which makes the morale of the army very low.

That is to say, it is also rumored in the army that Bai Qi is going to carry out an annihilation battle against the Zhao army this time, and only one person who surrenders will die.
In addition, the veteran Lian Po led them out of the siege of the Qin army after his return, which made these soldiers have some expectations for Lian Po.
If he didn't have this thought, Zhao Jun would be vulnerable now.

"It's not good."

Lian Po sighed and said, "Although I have started to implement the distribution of one meal a day."

"But in this stalemate, our food and grass can only last for seven days at most!"

"Once there is no food..."

Lian Po didn't say anything later, and there was no need to say it.

It has been said since ancient times that food is the most important thing for the people.

Once there is no food to eat, the sky will fall, and what will happen at that time is self-evident.

Nightingale's brows were tightly furrowed. Being in the army these days made her less quack-like and more influenced by the flames of war.

"Don't we still have horses? If we kill them, we should be able to hold on for a few more days, right?"

"It is possible to carry it for a few more days, but I don't recommend that."

Lian Po said: "Not to mention that after killing the horse, we have no cavalry, so we will be subject to many restrictions in tactics, and it is easy to fall into passivity."

"The key is that it also has a great impact on morale. You may not know that horses are generally not killed in the army."

"Once they are killed, it is actually a disguised form to tell those soldiers that we have no more food and grass, and it is easy to cause mutiny in the army!"

Nightingale was not in the army, so she didn't know that killing a horse would lead to such consequences, so she couldn't help frowning even more.

"Then we can only do everything possible to attack! I don't want to wait for the food and grass to run out, and the Qin army will come and get something for nothing!"

"Offensive? Didn't you see that their defense line was repaired like an iron barrel?"

Lian Po sighed again: "Bai Qi and Wang Lu must know about our situation."

"They are only defending and not attacking now, they are waiting for us to eat and mess up!"

"I think Zhao Kuo's side is already in chaos, and their food and grass have already been eaten up."

"Now, either they all surrender and are killed by the Qin army, or they are eating people and carrying them..."

"Cannibalism?"

Nightingale's face changed slightly, her expression was frightened and dazed, as if she had recalled some bad memories.

Lian Po saw this and had some guesses about Nightingale's external identity.

Judging from the way Nightingale did things and how she felt, her current appearance should be her actual age.

This kind of person, who is only in his twenties, reacts to human cannibalism as if he has personally experienced it.

That could only be a dozen years old, known as the orphan of the Black Friday event.

He still remembered seeing reports back then, when the mutant beasts destroyed the city,
Before the knights from other places could arrive for reinforcements,
Those people who lost the protection of the knights, who don't know martial arts themselves, and can't drive the chivalrous armor,
Although he escaped the initial death and hid successfully, but because of the sudden incident, there was no adequate preparation for food and water.
In order to survive, some people venture out to find food, but very few people can take the food away alive.
In the process of looking for food, the vast majority of people became the food of mutant beasts instead.

This makes many people dare not go out to take risks anymore, but hunger doesn't care about this,

In the end, many people killed the people around them, ate their flesh, and drank their blood in order to survive!

But those mutant beasts are extremely powerful, especially their leader Steel Tyrannosaurus,
It was it that single-handedly massacred dozens of knights responsible for defending the city.

Generally speaking, mutant beasts have no names, and are only represented by their species plus attributes.

Such as Flame Wolf, Frozen Bird, Gale Eagle, Ben Thunder Tiger, Venomous Scorpion and so on.

Only when the mutant beast is strong enough, will it be officially given a name to indicate that it needs to be paid attention to.

And this kind of named mutant beasts are often "living up to everyone's expectations", and they are extremely difficult to deal with.

The mutant beast named Steel Tyrannosaurus took hundreds of warriors more than three months to repel it.

Although there are also factors that the level of the knights is not high and the equipment is old,

But being able to survive a joint attack by a hundred knights is enough to show the strength of the named mutant beast.

After SteelGreymon leaves and everything is safe again,

According to statistics, only one out of ten of the city's 500 million people survived.

And among those who survived, more than half were haunted by nightmares every day after being rescued.

In the end, because he couldn't bear the previous experience of cannibalism, he either went crazy or committed suicide.

Those who really survived and lived a normal life are very few.

Nightingale's reaction is enough to prove that she is a remnant of those people.

"It's no wonder you do things so ruthlessly. It's a place where you've experienced more brutality."

Lian Po thought to himself: "I remember this kind of person is very withdrawn."

"She's getting close to Yehuang, maybe she's secretly in love with Yehuang as she said."

"But Ye Huang also experienced Black Friday, is this considered like attracts like?"

"If so……"

Lian Po knew that for those who survived, Black Friday and Iron Tyrannosaurus were taboo words.

When people come in advance, some people will panic, some people will be crazy, and some people will harbor hatred.

Either way, as long as these words are mentioned at the right time, it will make him lose his mind for a moment.

Even if you are facing someone who wants to kill SteelGreymon and avenge your family,

If the location of the Iron Tyrannosaurus is used as a bait, it will be enough to fool many people!

"Ye Huang, Ye Huang, I don't know which type you are?"

Nightingale didn't know about her unintentional actions, which made Lian Po guess something, and it could even be said that she was right.

She was suppressing the unbearable memories of the past after hearing the words "cannibalism" in her mind.

It took her a long time to calm down. In order to divert her attention from thinking about it,
She focused all her attention on the map in front of her, and said, "I can't attack, and I can't defend. Is there anything you can do in this situation?"

"I think, should we retreat?"

"retreat?"

"Retiring now, although the previous consumption is in vain, Changping and the large tracts of land after that will also be occupied and plundered by the Qin army."

"But at least we have reported the lives of these 30 soldiers. In the future, whether it is defense or counterattack, there will be someone available."

"Although helpless, I think this is the only way to do it now..."

As soon as he said this, Lian Po and Nightingale both put their hands on the weapons hanging at their waists.

At the same time, a red figure flashed into the tent.
