Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Behind the giant bronze door are countless corpses.

These corpses were wearing bronze armor and holding bronze spears and swords in their hands. They blocked the bronze door layer by layer. It seemed that they were still attacking the giant bronze door before they died.

When the giant bronze door was opened, numerous corpses rushed out and scattered on the ground. Some of them were particularly crispy and turned into dust when exposed to the wind.

Among all the corpses, there was only one ugly corpse that was three meters high. It was actually dead and lifelike. It was holding a dagger and its eyes were wide open, staring forward like a hungry ghost in hell. There seemed to be traces of dried blood and tears under the corners of its eyes.

When the corpse soldiers came within ten feet of the corpse, they all fell to the ground and lost contact with Fazheng. The ghosts who came within ten feet of him turned into powder. Fazheng also sent several slaves there. As a result, the slaves were also sucked into mummies.

"this……"

Fazheng and all the generals looked at each other in confusion.

How could a corpse from thousands of years ago still have such power? It's hard to imagine how powerful they were during their lifetime.

"I gonna go see!"

General Liu Huang couldn't help but wanted to step forward with his sword, but was stopped by Fazheng.

In Fazheng's view, people like Liu Huang are actually useless snacks.

There's nothing he can do about it, who's asking him to kill someone who's already reached the second level of mythology! Moreover, he is also a mythical second-level warrior who can use the skills of all the generals under Dong Huang's command. Even if it is just a comparison of personal combat power, Liu Huang is no match for anyone else.

He was able to use Dian Wei's ability to obtain pseudo-immortality. He also practiced corpse manipulation and Da Si Ming's fire-attribute skills, and became proficient in using the yin and yang blood hand seals.

"Let me try!"

Fazheng took the initiative to take over the task of exploration, closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to communicate with the corpse.

Fa Zheng has played with countless corpses and ghosts, and has also learned corpse control techniques. He is also very good at various transformations. With more knowledge, he can naturally see that this corpse is actually dead. What is supporting him now is just An unwilling obsession.

An obsession that has persisted for thousands of years.

Fa Zheng wants to put an end to this obsession and resolve this obsession.

Fa Zheng's spiritual power touched the corpse's body.

At the moment of contact, the murderous intent and resentment soaring to the sky almost assimilated Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng's ghosts stored in the shadow of death lost two-thirds in an instant.

With the sacrifice of these ghosts, Fazheng finally avoided the fate of being assimilated and was able to integrate into the obsession and gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual world of this resentment.

Thousands of years ago, the great Shang emperor Di Xin's confidant general Erai received an urgent summons from Di Xin, who was on an expedition to Dongyi. He informed him of the betrayal of the Zhou people and ordered him to lead the Dongyi expeditionary force to return quickly for reinforcements. .

After receiving the order, E Lai gave up the easy victory and led the main force back through the secret passage non-stop. However, when the army reached the giant bronze door, they found that the giant bronze door had been closed!

The giant bronze door can only be opened and closed by the blood of the Shang royal family, and the person who is responsible for guarding the giant bronze door here is Jizi.

There is no doubt that Jizi betrayed Dashang.

The betrayed soldiers desperately tried to smash the giant bronze door and dig out the cave. However, the stone walls and the giant bronze door here were made of unknown materials or were engraved with runes. They were so strong that their weapons were broken. , but could not be opened.

In the end, most of this army was trapped and starved to death here. A small number of them returned to Dongyi under Er Lai's order to preserve their strength. However, because they did not bring enough food when they set out in order to march as quickly as possible, how many of these people could go back alive? , is still an unknown quantity.

As a die-hard loyalist of Emperor Xin and the top general of these soldiers, he hated to live in evil. In the end, unable to conceal his violent hatred, his heart was severed and his seven orifices bled to death.

After Xilai's death, the hatred of being betrayed, the hatred of seeing countless men starve to death, and the hatred for the Zhou Dynasty, combined with the resentment of countless soldiers, formed a resentment and obsession that was so strong that it could not be resolved. .

This resentment and obsession guarded his body for thousands of years.

That is to say, from the end of Shang Dynasty to the present, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dropped off a cliff, causing many spiritual creatures to lose the conditions for their birth. Otherwise, the evil corpse will definitely turn into a terrifying ghost.

"Where are the bodies of the descendants of the traitors! Your descendants are also living well. They are now the masters of the most powerful country in Kyushu. The Zhou Dynasty was also destroyed by your descendants. You can rest assured! The bones of you and your soldiers , we will help bury it! We will also help you finish your unfinished business!”

Fazheng comforted and shared some memory scenes.

Of course, he concealed the fact that Dayu was the biggest enemy of the Qin royal family, the descendant of Erai.

I don’t know if it was Fazheng’s consolation that had an effect, or it was Obsession that saw the corpses of the traitors, or it was Fazheng’s promise that moved it. Of course, it could also be that the deadline has really come, and the evil corpses will be alive in the next moment. Turned into ashes.

At the same time, an unknown witchcraft remained in Fa Zheng's mind.

Fazheng knew that this was the inheritance of evil and the last gift of thanks.

The only question is whether this method can still be practiced.

After all, this is something from an era thousands of years ago when spiritual energy was still relatively strong. If you practice something from that era in this era, you will kill someone if you are not careful.

Fa Zheng finally decided to hand it over to Dian Wei, who is known as the "evil from ancient times".

Anyway, this is not something produced by Space, so it doesn't matter if it is handed over to Dian Wei, but whether it can be refined depends on Dian Wei himself.

If Dian Wei Lian survives, it won't be too late for someone else to learn from him.

"Give these warriors a good burial! As for the remaining descendants of the traitors, keep ten of them and kill the rest!"

Fa Zheng decided to fulfill his promise to these respectable warriors and ordered people to find a place to dig in the space outside the bronze door so that these warriors could be buried in peace.

After laboriously cleaning up the bones near the giant bronze door, Fazheng and his party continued to move forward.

In order to prevent an accident like the evil one from happening, Fazheng ordered two generals, Leng Bao and Liu Xu, to personally lead the troops to guard the place. He also ordered them that if there was any abnormality, they could first close the giant bronze door and wait for Dong Huang to arrive with the main force before reopening it. Open.

Afterwards, the brave Fazheng, who was an expert in art, led Deng Xian, Ping Qingmori and others into the secret passage.

In the secret passage, there are luminous pearls and some other luminous crystals that provide light sources, and faint will-o'-wisps and corpses can be seen everywhere.

Fa Zheng ordered the zombies to continue carrying the corpses for burial, while he controlled the ghosts and a small number of pets to explore the road. He wanted to see what was at the end of the road.

——

South County.

The battle for Yingdu continues.

Wang Hao and Hao Gong were fighting so hard that they almost lost their temper.

They have never seen such a tenacious opponent.

I have never seen such a disgusting opponent.

It felt a bit like the confrontation with the Zhao army led by Lian Po in the early stages of the Changping War. However, the Dayu army was stronger than the Zhao army of that era in terms of morale and food security, but it was not as elite as it was.

In this battle, Dayu's army was completely fearless from beginning to end, defending at all levels, using their fortresses to fight a war of attrition, and occasionally launching defensive counterattacks.

In more than half a year of war, more than 300,000 soldiers and horses were killed by both sides. Although most of the Qin army's dead were auxiliary soldiers who did not feel sorry for their death, the tragic casualty rate and the long war also further consumed the Qin army. The morale of the Qin army.

With the arrival of the rainy season, the Qin army no longer wanted to fight anymore.

However, if Yingdu was not captured for a day, the Qin court would not approve the withdrawal of troops.

This is still a political battle, and no one dares to ask the army to abandon Yingdu.

Politics can be so unreasonable sometimes. The best military choices often run counter to the best political choices.

In fact, the best way at this time is to counterattack, just like the strategy used by the Qin people in the Battle of Changping. But the problem is that Dayu is too mysterious. Who is the emperor of Qin Guolian Dayu and what does he look like? None of them knew; the courtiers of Dayu only knew the names of a prime minister and a few generals, and there was no more detailed information at all.

None of the spies sent to Haojing came back alive.

This left Qin with nowhere to go.

Their best counter-intentional tactics were of no use, and Wang Hao and Hao Gong could only grit their teeth and persevere.

But the more he beat him, the more Wang Lu felt something was wrong.

The keen Wang Hao discovered that Yu Jun seemed to be taking this opportunity to train his troops. His troops seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and they were more and more adapted to the rhythm of frontal combat with the Qin army.

This is not a good sign.

Since it is difficult to make major progress in the Yingdu direction for a while, then change to another direction.

Wang Lu suddenly mobilized the main army formation and attacked Xiling by surprise, but he never thought that their every move would be under the surveillance of Dong Huang's army.

Realizing that the time was ripe, Zhuge Liang and Gao Shun suddenly took the initiative after dispatching a large number of Qin army elites, and assembled a main force of 350,000 to launch a surprise counterattack at night.

Gao Shun personally led 150,000 trapped troops to attack the Qin army's left flank. Zhuge Liang personally led 80,000 Wudang flying troops, 20,000 Zhuge company crossbowmen, and 50,000 barbarians to attack the Qin army's right flank.

The Dayu Army observed very clearly that most of the Qin Army's main force on the left and right wings of the Qin Army's formation had been taken away, which was when it was at its weakest.

The Qin army, which had never been actively attacked by Dayu's army since the war, was in chaos. Dayu's army broke through more than a dozen camps and killed seven captains.

The Qin army's left and right wings suffered heavy blows.

Upon seeing this, Wang Hao quickly personally commanded the Qin army's central army to prepare for battle, and asked Qin Rui's soldiers to put on armor and prepare to divide their troops to support. However, at this time, the panic-stricken middle road protrusion was attacked by the Gaoshun Department on the south side of the Yu Army and the north side. Zhuge Liang's troops on the side and Zhao Yun's troops on the east side attacked.

Wang Hao, who couldn't figure out the situation, had to order the camp to be held tightly.

Dayu's army was able to retreat calmly.

Strictly speaking, this battle was still not a head-on confrontation between the two armies, but it was the first time that the Dayu Legion troops took the initiative to fight the Qin Army head-on. It was a very memorable battle.

After this battle, Wang Hao had to retreat ten miles to camp and reorganize his army.

Although the losses last night were heavy, most of the casualties came from the auxiliary troops. Wang Lu's troops were not seriously injured, but their morale was severely damaged.

Wang Hao could only rest for a while and wait for the situation at the headquarters of Hegong.

Duke Heng actually won the battle this time.

After half a year of fighting, the city wall of Xiling was completely devastated. This time, the Qin army's elite troops were pressed forward by Hung Gong's attack regardless of the cost, and the corpses of the Qin army were piled up into a mountain under the city wall.

In the end, after the elite Qin army fought hard at all costs, the Qin army finally occupied Xiling City.

However, they only occupied an empty city.

The people in the city had already been relocated. Except for the unlucky ones, most of Yu's troops managed to escape in time, either by boat or into the water, and even set a fire before leaving.

What Hegong didn't know was that this victory was actually given to the Qin Army by the Yu Army on purpose. The main reason was that the city had been destroyed to the point where the defenders had no advantage, so the Yu Army A new city, Xiakou City, had been built at the mouth of the Xiakou ninety miles west of Xiling.

There are two or three forts behind Xiakou City.

If the Qin army thought that they could enter Wu County after capturing Xiling, it would be nothing more than wishful thinking.

Zhuge Liang advocated abandoning Xiling, but there was actually another consideration.

The Qin army has been fighting for so long and has achieved no results at all. What if they no longer want to fight?

Therefore, it is absolutely possible to give Qin Jun a little sweetness so that Qin Jun is willing to spend time here.

Now that the rainy season is coming soon, the situation is becoming more and more favorable to the Dayu Army. As long as the Qin Army is monitored well to prevent them from having a chance to attack by water, then the Dayu Army will win half of the battle.

Mr. He obviously didn't think of this.

The first thing Duke Lu did when he captured Xiling was to report victory.

He knew that with this feat, the punishment for the last disastrous defeat would not be too severe.

The second thing Duke Lu did was to send a large number of scouts westward to investigate the situation.

As a result of this investigation, Mr. He was dumbfounded.

"Yu people are shameless!"

Mr. He was almost angry and vomiting blood.

How can you play like this! In addition to navy and city building, do you Yu people know anything else?

Duke He could only tell Wang Lu truthfully the results of the investigation.

Wang Hao was so angry that his teeth itched after hearing this.

"The rainy season is coming soon, let's attack again!"

Wang Hao secretly made up his mind.

Back then, Bai Qi used water to attack Yan and defeated the main force of the Chu army in one fell swoop, thus successfully capturing the capital of Ying.

He wanted to try it too.

Qin Jun's unusual movements were quickly noticed by Dayu's Haidongqing and other pets, and Yu Jun immediately made arrangements.

The previous camp of the Yu army was mainly at high altitudes, and even built a dam to besiege Yingdu. This time, Zhuge Liang cooperated with the hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo to secretly dig a water diversion ditch behind the camp, leading directly to Yingdu.

As long as the Qin army attacks with water, at least 90% of the water can be guaranteed to flow towards Yingdu.

Yu Jun's actions were noticed by the defenders of Yingdu, but the defenders of Yingdu were also helpless.

They had broken through the encirclement many times before, but were directly crushed by the Yu army with an absolute advantage in strength, and now they could only defend.

They defended, but the Yu army did not attack, but used them as bait. However, the Qin army in Yingdu could not deliver the news, so they could only worry. What made them even more frightened was that there was not much food in the city.

Despair continues to spread in the city.

The Chu people in the city were actually already eager to try. At the beginning, the Qin army was very strict, but by this time, many Qin generals had been corrupted.

Even as Qin generals, they still want to enjoy themselves and survive.

Now, there is only the last step left to pierce that layer of window paper.

Once something really happened, there would be more than one or two people in the city who wanted to surrender.

——

Danqu.

Wang Jian suffered a small loss for the first time and lost more than a thousand warriors.

The reason is that he found a Yu army with more than 10,000 people and wanted to swallow it.

In line with the principle of one Qin and ten Yu, Wang Jian thought that he could defeat this army with a thousand sharp soldiers, but he was calm and brought five thousand sharp soldiers.

However, the ensuing battle surprised Wang Jian. The enemy army was able to form a powerful military formation and fight head-on with his more than 5,000 warriors.

Wang Jian realized that something was wrong and chose to evacuate the battlefield without hesitation.

At this time, Yu Jun's ambush also appeared.

In the end, Wang Jian was able to escape at the cost of more than a thousand casualties.

"You walked so decisively!"

After the war, Xiang Yan, who had made great achievements, couldn't help but complain to Xi Zhicai.

Xiang Yan had always been on the front line in Shouchun as a backing force. After the destruction of the Chu Kingdom, Xiang Yan was given the opportunity to kill King Chu Kaolie, and rescued his relatives in Korea, Xiang Yan returned to Dong Huang. It became one of the few important combat forces under Dong Huang.

The only regret is that Dong Huang was not able to rescue Xiang Yan's eldest son Xiang Kui because Xiang Kui had been squeezed to death...

The agents of war are like wolves and tigers, and Donghuang, who is a step late, is also helpless.

After the battle to destroy Chu, Wei and Qi also suffered heavy losses. There was no threat to the north of Dayu for the time being, and Xiang Yan's troops were liberated.

After receiving Xi Zhicai's letter, Jia Xu agreed with Xi Zhicai's idea of ​​killing or capturing Wang Jian at all costs, so he sent Xiang Yan over.

At this time, Xiang Yan's headquarters actually had 20,000 troops, but his military formation required bloodlines of the participants, which was not perfect, and most of the 10,000 new members were old and weak. So these people didn't go to war.

Xiang Yan's next development direction is to de-Xiang the army, make the military formation more comprehensive, and attract more talents to form a large army in a short time.

After all, Xiang Yan is not as prolific as Gao Shun and can form an army; and if he wants to truly establish a foothold in Dayu, he does not have decades to give birth to children. If he really has to wait dozens more In the new year, the day lilies are cold.

Because of the gap in intelligence, Wang Jian was almost left there.

That is to say, Wang Jian was too sharp and too steady, so he escaped.

Wang Jian, who had escaped the disaster, realized that the situation in Bashu had changed.

At this time, Wang Jian had restored contact with Hanzhong and already knew the dilemma of Hanzhong and Lord Changping. Now that Yu Guo had even used all his strength to suppress the situation, Wang Jian suddenly realized that Yu Jun was going to cause trouble.

"Where is Yu Jun's goal?"

Wang Jian looked at the map and finally located Jiameng's location.

"Yu Jun wants to force me to fight them in Langzhong?"

Wang Jian made a cautious judgment.

He speculated that for the Yu army, the best strategic focus was Jiameng. However, Jiameng in this era is not yet considered a powerful pass, and it must have sufficient support. Otherwise, it will be a dead place, so the Yu army must defend Langzhong.

"I'm afraid that I will be forced to attack Langzhong and fight with Lord Changping from both inside and outside."

Wang Jian sighed quietly.

From Wang Jian's point of view, it actually doesn't matter whether he fights Jiameng or not. The Changping King's forces can come here and launch an attack from Badi!

As long as there are enough troops, Langzhong can be easily defeated and the retreat of Jiameng's defenders will be cut off. Then the army will be divided into two groups, all the way from Langzhong to the south to sweep away the surrounding resistance forces, especially the Ba people, all the way from Danqu to the south, and finally The two armies met at Dianjiang, captured Dianjiang, and then besieged Bacheng.

In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is trivial.

Wang Jian's current problem is that his troops are still not strong enough, and Yu Jun is unwilling to fight with him, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

He can take risks and has dangerous plans, but he doesn't think it's necessary.

Wang Jian still decided to go step by step to clear out the Ba people in the Danqu River Basin, attack steadily, and wrote a letter suggesting to Lord Changping not to be led by the Yu army, and not to focus on attacking Jiameng, but to either enter Ba with the main force, or An Xin is hoarding grain and grass, replenishing ships and other ordnance in Shu, and then crushing them with absolute strength after they have enough troops and grain.

After all, the territory occupied by the Qin State is in the upstream area, so it has an inherent advantage; the advantage in terms of military resources is even greater, so I'm afraid of a hair!

Wang Jian's shrinking made Xi Zhicai helpless.

As a result, the intensity of fighting in Brazil dropped sharply.

Wang Jian's letter traveled in a semicircle around the mountains on the north side of the Sichuan Basin, and then reached the hands of Lord Changping.

Mr. Changping could only smile bitterly.

Of course he knew that attacking Jiameng would be a thankless task, but the problem was that not only did he have no military exploits along the way, but it also led to the Zitong civil uprising; Wang Ping's bold attack on Yongcheng was even more It made Qin Ting furious and he also felt great pressure.

Faced with this chaos, he not only failed to respond effectively, but it was Meng Ao who led the troops to help him solve the worries of Wudu and Hanzhong.

And Meng Ao's arrival made him have to think more.

You know, Meng Ao can almost be regarded as the first general of Qin after Bai Qi's death. After Bai Qi's death, he never served as a deputy general, and naturally he could not serve as a deputy general to Changping Lord.

So, if Meng Ao comes, will he hand over the general? If that were the case, he would really become a joke.

Mr. Changping was also helpless.

He needs to produce results to prove himself.

He even wanted to capture Jiameng, and then go down the river from Jiameng and attack Langzhong again.

As long as he ran to Langzhong, he could command Wang Jian and capture Brazil first with an absolutely superior force. In this way, even if Qin Ting asked Meng Ao to replace him, he would not appear particularly incompetent.

Lord Changping's idea was good, but the guards at Dayu Jiameng Pass were Huo Jun and Fan Mu.

Needless to say, in history, Huo Jun relied on hundreds of men to defend Jiameng Pass for a year under the siege of Zhang Lu and tens of thousands of people, and finally defeated Zhang Lu's army and killed his general.

Huo Jun from the Dayu time and space is famous for his good defense, and his ability is also linked to the defense of the city. The compatibility between Jiameng Pass and him is extremely high, and the final result can be imagined.

The Qin army built fire ladders, cloud ladders, side bridges, bumping poles, goose carts, caves, catapults and other siege tools, and also used mechanical beasts to attack the city.

However, many of the Qin army's siege tactics were easily resolved by Huo Jun.

When encountering a mechanical beast that was really difficult to destroy, Huo Jun also prepared a catapult and a ramming stone early, and easily destroyed it.

Huo Jun also had a thousand Zhuge Liannu and a large number of Nine Ox Crossbows made with improved materials from this world. He could kill three people with one shot. With the advantage of the geographical location, he had a longer range and penetration than the Qin army's crossbows. .

Therefore, the Ba people, who were good at making shields and had special military formations, raised their shields to defend. Huo Jun's men focused on long-range attacks, supplemented by various equipment, leaving the Qin army completely helpless.

Lord Changping attacked for more than a month at all costs, with tens of thousands of casualties and 20,000 casualties, but failed to achieve any tangible results.

Considering that if we continue to force troops here, it will affect the summer offensive against Bashu, and Meng Ao has never meant to replace him, Changping Lord finally left 30,000 people to besiege Jiameng Pass and entered Shu in embarrassment.
