I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 533: Demonic Dao! Death Jungle! Kill! Kill! Kill!

The valley is not very undulating on both sides, but it is not easy to cross it.

Once we waste our time here, we will probably just follow Huang Tianjun and eat dust.

Youzhou is vast and flat, making it more suitable for the deployment of Huang Tian’s army of hundreds of thousands of people than Zhuozhou.

If they were allowed to break up into smaller groups and wreak havoc in Youzhou, the situation would become increasingly uncontrollable.

Besides, it would be difficult to explain to Yuan Feng.

So even though he knew that there would be certain risks involved in entering this, Wei Wei chose to take the risk after hesitating for a long time.

This proves the old saying.

Behind every decision that seems stupid in hindsight, there is one or even several unavoidable reasons.

However, before entering the valley in front of him, Wei Wei was not unprepared.

Not only were there quite a few night raiders sent out by the vanguard to explore the way ahead, but there were also quite a few of them.

He himself also used the huge soul of the Heavenly Man Realm to carefully scan the valley in front of him.

Everything is peaceful.

It was so quiet that the vanguard troops entering it even felt a bit creepy.

"Captain Wu, don't you think this valley is a little too quiet?"

No birds are seen flying, no beasts are seen running.

The only sound left was the echo of their swift march through the valley.

Apart from this, it was so quiet that it seemed like a deserted place on earth where no life had been found.

The sergeant kept walking after hearing this, but he actually felt a little uneasy inexplicably.

Following his gaze that kept moving forward, the sergeant's eyes swept over the rolling hills around him. After a moment, he calmed himself down and scolded.

"Don't talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army!"

Even the high-ranking generals could not bear the accusation of disturbing military morale, let alone these soldiers.

Seeing that the soldier who was speaking shrank his neck and dared not speak nonsense anymore, the sergeant didn't know whether he was comforting his men or himself, and he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Don't worry. If there really is an ambush, why would the governor let us die?"

As he spoke, the sergeant became more excited and said again.

"Besides, there are so many bandits in this valley that they can't hide them all!"

indeed.

The Huang Tian bandit army is also called the 'ant bandits', which means that once they are dispatched, they are like ants, covering the sky and the earth.

If the soldiers were hidden around, even if they were not clearly visible, they would definitely leave traces.

And where does it look like there are any soldiers hiding around here?

As if to confirm the sergeant's words, a military order came from the front, ordering them to speed up through the valley.

Then they deployed defenses outside the valley to ensure the safe passage of subsequent troops.

It must be said that Wei Wei, the governor of Zhuozhou who came from a scholar background, was very methodical even though it was his first time leading an army.

Apart from the slight confusion at the beginning, even the old soldiers could not find too many mistakes in the many military orders conveyed in the past few days.

It was just that perhaps he was too impatient, or perhaps he was too confident in his own powerful soul in the realm of heaven and man.

Wei Wei was a little impatient after all.

Seeing that the vanguard army of thousands of people was about to leave the valley and without seeing any unexpected changes, he could not wait to let the rear army enter the valley.

But not long after the follow-up troops entered the valley one after another, something unexpected happened -

……

There is always fog in the mountains.

Although it was already afternoon, there was only a thin layer of frost and fog in the valley.

But as the front army continued to move forward, they gradually felt something was wrong.

Because the originally thin mist had unknowingly become much thicker.

When the general leading the army in the front was hesitating whether to report to the rear army, a thick fog suddenly floated over in front of him.

The front army had no time to react and was instantly swallowed up.

The general was startled and was about to remind his subordinates to be on guard, but the next moment he heard a horrifying sound of breaking through the air.

hum-

It's too late to say, then soon!
In a flash, the general sitting on his warhorse reached out to the void in front of him and instantly caught the incoming sharp arrow in his hand.

However, he did not show any pride at all, but his face changed drastically in an instant.

The crossbow arrow was still spinning and moving forward in his palm, constantly eroding his magical energy.

It’s the Pogang Crossbow!

"Be careful! Enemy attack!"

This loud reminder was certainly timely, but the attack from the front of the thick fog was obviously one step faster than him.

Almost at the moment before he spoke, the terrifying sound of breaking through the air rang out again.

Only this time, it wasn’t just one sound!
But a piece!
Buzz, buzz, buzz——

By the time the horrific tail tone and his words reached the ears of the front army, it was too late.

Many people hadn't even had time to react before they were suddenly killed on the spot by a terrifying arrow that broke through the air from the thick fog.

Puff, puff, puff—

The terrifying force contained in the crossbow arrow was still there after it tore the first unlucky guy who approached into pieces.

After piercing through dozens of people in a row, it carried three others flying backwards like a string of gourds for a while before finally penetrating into the ground.

This is the terrifying killing power of the Pogang Crossbow!

And this is just one of them!
But now, the number of crossbow arrows that suddenly shot out from the thick fog ahead was more than a hundred.
Although some of them were stopped by strong men above the Tianmen realm in the front army, it was just a drop in the bucket compared to their terrifyingly dense numbers.

Not to mention that this round of one hundred is just the beginning.

In a blink of an eye, one round, two rounds, three rounds...

When the leading general mobilized the powerful spiritual power around him to smash the last crossbow arrow into pieces, no one cheered for him.

Turning around and looking at the scene behind him, he felt his head buzzing and fell into a brief blank.

The valley is narrow and there is no escape!
Gone, all gone...

In just a short moment, the guys who used to laugh and scold in front of him were now almost gone...

Some were just a forest of death transformed from broken crossbow arrows...

Among the corpses that were strung together and nailed to death, someone stretched out his hand to him, and the blood-stained lips seemed to be trying to say something to him, but no sound came out.

"General, save me..."

save? How to save?
Even the Golden Immortal can’t save you!

"General, what should we do?"

The few survivors looked at him with pale faces and trembling bodies.

The front army commander looked back at the thick fog in the distance. With the help of his magic power, he finally saw some scenes clearly.

"Evil Taoist! How dare you use magic to harm my son's life!"

Without the thick fog that caused his men to panic and lose their way, even such densely packed crossbows could not have almost wiped out his entire army.

And all this was done by that evil Taoist!

The leader of the vanguard army, who had lost his mind at this moment, roared and rode his horse directly into the thick fog.

The survivors who saw this scene wanted to follow their general and rush in, but their cultivation was ultimately too low.

After a few steps, not only did he fail to catch up with the general, but he lost his way in the thick fog.

Helplessly they stopped, gathered together, and looked with fear at the thick white fog that was so thick that it could not be dispelled.

Fortunately, they soon heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the thick fog.

"But...but General?"

In the thick fog, only the sound of approaching horse hooves could be heard. When the familiar warhorse appeared before them, they were overjoyed.

But this great joy soon turned into even more intense fear.

Because there was no general on the warhorse.

So… where is the General?
As if to clear up their doubts, the next moment something rolled out from the thick fog in front of them.

After spinning for a while, it landed in front of them. Looking at the head with eyes wide open, everyone's mind instantly exploded. "General——"

A cry mixed with endless fear.

In response a light laugh came from the fog.

"Don't worry, you will be able to reunite with your generals soon--"

As the voice fell, the surviving soldiers raised their heads.

There was a figure vaguely visible in the thick fog, and it was not just one person.

It's a vast expanse that has no end in sight!

It’s also a trap!

……

Wei Wei was obviously stunned by the sudden change that happened to the front army.

How could there be anyone? !

How did they appear?
How did he hide it from his divine soul?
This series of questions made Wei Wei's thoughts confused for a moment. When he came to his senses, he was ready to send someone to help, but the fog made it difficult for him to see through it.

After hesitating for a while, it was too late to rescue.

They are all dead!
Wei Wei, who had seen the tragic scene, couldn't help but turn pale even though he had great cultivation.

awful!
That's horrible!
"Is this... a real battlefield?"

With such a ridiculous thought in his mind, Wei Wei was a little at a loss.

"Governor, Governor, Governor!"

After several shouts, the civil and military officials on both sides were obviously a bit panicked.

"There are enemies ahead. What should we do? Advance or retreat?"

Retreat, at this time the rear army has already entered the valley!
If we retreat, it will inevitably cause chaos.

But if we don't retreat, there will be a strange fog ahead that obscures our minds. In this situation where we are unclear about the enemy's situation, what should we do if something goes wrong?

Wei Wei's pupils refocused, and facing this problem, he had the most intuitive understanding of the word "dilemma" for the first time.

"I should have known I shouldn't have rushed into the valley just now!"

Even though he felt regret in his heart, as a superior he absolutely could not admit his mistake.

So at this time he could only make the best of it.

"Retreat? Why retreat? Keep moving forward!"

As he spoke, Wei Wei waved his hand to interrupt those around him who were about to speak, and said decisively.

"The enemy army wants to block us in the valley, but this governor won't let them do that!"

"Pass on this governor's order!"

"All troops, speed up and cross this valley as quickly as possible!"

Everyone who heard this hesitated.

"What about the enemy ahead?"

Wei Wei said with disdain on his face.

"Just a bunch of ant thieves. Do you think your elite troops are afraid of them?"

After saying this, Wei Wei waved his hand and spoke passionately.

"Go! Crush them for me!"

"Today, the governor will set up camp outside the valley! We will wait for these bandits to attack Ji County, and then attack them from both inside and outside to completely wipe out these bandits!"

This was Wei Wei’s original plan.

Saying it out now in advance can just help boost morale.

As the saying goes, a general is the courage of his soldiers.

Seeing that Wei Wei, the leader, was so confident, everyone obeyed the order solemnly even though they still had some doubts in their hearts.

"I am willing to die for the governor! I will wipe out the bandits!"

"I am willing to die for the governor! I will wipe out the bandits!"

"I am willing to die for the governor! I will wipe out the bandits!"

The shouts were so loud that they resounded through the sky.

As Wei Wei gradually felt relieved, a smile appeared on his face.

'Very good! Military morale is good!'

'We will win this battle!'

……

As soon as the central army gave the order, the entire army immediately followed suit.

But the valley was too narrow to accommodate too many people, so they could only move forward one by one.

In this way, even though the new front-line troops knew that the situation in the thick fog ahead was not good, they still rushed in without hesitation.

Eight hundred steps! Five hundred steps! Three hundred steps!
One hundred and fifty steps—

The front army advanced rapidly, and as time went by, they gradually saw the horrific jungle of death ahead.

At that moment, some people took a deep breath and felt like backing out.

Some people who were weak-willed even vomited on the spot.

In short, at this moment, the grand momentum just before stepping into the thick fog collapsed almost instantly.

And at this moment, they soon suffered the same fate.

The terrifying Broken Gang Crossbow pierced through the white fog in the sky and came whistling towards them.

But this time, the expected tragic scene did not happen.

"How can the same despicable means work twice?"

The mocking laughter shattered the thick fog, and then a series of powerful figures above the Yuanshen realm stepped out instantly.

With just a few moves, all the powerful weapons that were useless to ordinary soldiers were wiped out.

After doing all this, they were still not satisfied, so they stepped into the void and traced back to the source of the thick fog in front of them.

In fact, with the speed of these strong men, they can go back and forth across this valley in almost an instant.

The same is true now.

He took a step forward and then put it down, and then the view in front of him became clear, without any trace of fog blocking his view.

But the moment they saw clearly what was in front of them, all the strong soldiers who had broken through the barrier were frozen in place.

Because the enemies that appeared before them at this moment were not just a small number as they had expected before.

But it’s truly…all over the mountains and plains!
‘Gudong——’

I don't know who couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

In response, Cheng Yuanyi, who was standing high on a cliff in the valley, smiled faintly.

"You are all quite slow, and you have come so late that I have to wait for you."

……

When large armies fight, soldiers fight against soldiers, and generals fight against generals.

Those strong men in the army have their tasks, and the military formations built with a small number of strong men as the core framework also have their tasks.

Keep going! Keep going!
After those strong men broke through the Pogang Crossbow Formation, the thousands of soldiers who followed in the front army quickly advanced a considerable distance and immediately encountered the Huangtian bandit army.

When facing the enemy, the leading general laughed grimly.

"You rats are really good at hiding! Today I will lead my men to crush you ants!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already urged his horse forward, heading straight into the vast ochre-yellow ocean that was surging in front of him like a tide.

The moment the sword and spear pierced through the void, blood spurted out and limbs flew.

Almost in the blink of an eye, this once ordinary and peaceful valley was transformed into a hell on earth.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At the moment they collided with each other, countless figures were thrown into the air, and then drifted away like fallen leaves.

Death, once begun, seems to never stop.
