I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 62: Seizing the Flag, Taking Food, and Cannibalism

Standing on the top of the mountain stronghold, looking around, in the dark night, a fire dragon lay across the mountains, extending to the end of the vision, making it hard to breathe.

Lu Wujiu had an excellent vision and could even see the military flags fluttering in the firelight.

The word "Murong" fluttered in the wind!

"Lingyun Village is in danger!"

He didn't know how many people there were in Lingyun Village, but even if he calculated it all, there probably wouldn't be more than two thousand.

Looking down the mountain, there are at least 30,000 people!

Even if he added 5,000 more soldiers and generals, he might not be able to reverse the outcome of the battle.

This battle is likely to be disastrous!

Soon, a soldier stepped out from the crowd and shouted:
"My general has long admired the name of General Zhong Yequ! Today's confrontation between our two armies is truly forced by the situation! Now that the outcome is clear, why doesn't General Zhong abandon his evil ways and join the good? My general promises..."

"puff!"

An arrow fell from the sky and pierced the soldier's throat. The spurting blood and flesh drowned out the words of persuasion to surrender.

"Murong, you old bastard, if you want to hit me, then go ahead and hit me. Instead of being so fussy, you might as well go back and sell your asshole!"

"Zhong Ye, don't be so shameless!"

An angry shout came from Hu Jun.

The next moment, the rumbling sound of drums resounded throughout the battlefield!

The wandering fire dragons gradually gathered into a pile, and then suddenly went out. Dense human figures could be vaguely seen rushing over the mountains and plains.

"Rumble..."

The rumbling sound of footsteps echoed through the mountains.

Before the Lingyun army could prepare, countless rains of fire suddenly came roaring from the rear of the Hu army.

"Shield! Shield!"

A fierce roar came from Lingyun Village, and countless rattan shields were set up to resist the rain of fire.

"Duh duh duh!"

In an instant, the sound of arrows hitting the wall was as loud as hail, filling the air and making people tremble with fear.

Wait until the rain of fire gradually stops.

Without waiting for everyone to remove their rattan shields, the charging bandits had already rushed up in the dark.

The village wall, which was less than ten feet high, could not stop the charge of the bandits!

Ladders, grappling hooks, inclined beams...all the wall-climbing tools that have been seen and not seen before were used at the same time.

In just a moment, the war entered a white-hot stage, leaving no one any time to react.

Even though Lu Wujiu was a veteran, he was still shocked when he saw this scene.

In the dim night, the sword that was slashing at him didn't give him any time to breathe!
He blocked the blade in front, but an inexplicable attack came from behind. He dodged from behind, but a fierce ghost crawled out from under his feet, forcing him to summon several fierce soldiers for close protection.

The sounds of shouting, screaming, and the clashing of weapons were intertwined into a dizzying scene.

In a quick glance, Zhong Ye did not look like a Taoist priest at all. He was holding a long sword and slashing wildly on the top of the city wall. He rushed to wherever he could be killed.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar made the battlefield suddenly quiet!
"Lingyun Village has been breached, follow me!"

A loud roar came from the village gate, attracting countless Hu people to celebrate!

Lu Wujiu stood on the city wall and looked out. The fire dragons all over the mountain below showed no sign of decreasing.

"All soldiers, follow me and retreat!"

Zhong Ye's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Lu Wujiu hurried over. In the dim night, the flickering fire made the battlefield a mess. Relying on Taoist magic to protect his body, he approached the soldiers carrying the commander's flag like a loach. A group of soldiers rushed past the commander's flag, but his face suddenly froze.

Isn't it a land deed?
When two armies are fighting, the commander's flag is the key to the morale of the soldiers. How could it not be a land deed?
Could it be...

Lu Wujiu suddenly looked outside the village. Where the fire dragon was entrenched, he could faintly see a high platform. A tiger-like general stood with a sword in his hand! Behind him, the general's flag fluttered in the wind!

At this time, Zhong Ye had already led the guards into the village, gathered the remaining soldiers and generals, and tried to break out of the encirclement.

However, his efforts were in vain.

There are too many bandits!
Everyone wanted his head.

He had originally rushed out of the village gate in one go, but was forced back amidst a burst of shouting and killing.

In the midst of a wave of retreat, the old man rushed over and shouted sharply: "Commander Qu, let's change our clothes!"

Zhong Ye was furious: "We must die together. If I were a coward, I would have led the team away. Why would I stay here?"

The old man shouted, "Qu Shuai, listen to me, you have to survive. Only if you survive can you use your Taoist magic to heal more people! Otherwise, we will all die." The guards beside him also shouted, "Qu Shuai, change your clothes quickly!"

Zhong Ye's face flushed red, and before he could speak, the old man rushed over and untied his soft armor!

"boom!"

In the chaotic battlefield, a wave of exclamations suddenly arose.

The offensive of the Hu bandits who were besieging Lingyun Army suddenly weakened!
"This is?"

Zhong Ye was surprised and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a figure rushing forward madly in the brightest firelight at the foot of the mountain!
Countless soldiers were thrown to the ground as he charged.

Looking carefully, he was heading in the direction of the central army's flag!

"It's Lu Wujiu!"

Zhong Ye's scalp tingled. Before he could take a closer look, the old man had already grabbed him and shouted:
"Master Qu, good opportunity, let's go!"

"go!"

Zhong Ye gritted his teeth and growled, then immediately took the opportunity to charge forward.

This time, the bandit Hu's counterattack greatly reduced his resistance. While charging, he had more energy to pay attention to Lu Wujiu.

Not long after Lu Wujiu started charging, he was slowed down. A Hu shaman cast a spell and slowed him down.

Soon, he was even drowned in the crowd and could no longer be seen.

"Friend Lu Dao!"

Zhong Ye murmured, his eyes warmed, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Kill!"

The pitch-black night became the best cover. When everyone's attention was drawn to the chaos in the central army, Zhong Ye finally broke out of the encirclement with great effort.

Just at this moment, a loud laugh came from a distance.

"Hahaha--"

"Your flag has fallen, why don't you surrender immediately?"

When Zhong Ye heard the voice, his pupils suddenly shrank and he turned around abruptly.

Then I saw the general's flag on the brightly lit platform fluttering in the wind, and then it collapsed with a loud bang in the light of the fire!

At the same time, earth-shaking roars, empowered by magic power, resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Asshole! Kill this beast and you'll be recognized as a general, promoted three levels, and awarded a thousand taels of silver!"

Zhong Ye stared at the scene blankly.

Being the first to reach the summit, beheading the general, breaking through the enemy lines, and capturing the flag... are the four ultimate military achievements!

Lu Wujiu actually captured the general's flag in the first battle... If he had met him earlier, how could he have lost the county and become as miserable as a stray dog?

"Qu Shuai, let's go!"

The old man looked at this scene and pulled Qu Shuai into the deep forest.

The noise of the battlefield gradually faded away.

When turning a hill, all I could hear were the chirping of insects and birds. The shouting and screaming just now was like a dream, making me feel dazed.

"Qu Shuai, where are we going?"

"Go to Liujiagou first and tell the villagers to flee quickly. If these beasts can't find me, they'll definitely kill innocent people to claim credit!"

"Commander Qu, when is this..."

"go!"

The guards looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and surrounded Zhong Ye and rushed towards Liujiagou.

When they arrived at the village, they saw the elderly, the weak, women and children in the village, all gathered at the entrance of the village with lit torches.

When I got closer, I saw an old woman lying on two young men, crying hoarsely.

An old man standing next to him had his eyes blank and was speechless. It was not until he saw Zhong Ye that he seemed to come alive.

"Marshal, you are here!"

"What happened?"

A villager responded:
"Alas! God is blind. The old patriarch's only two remaining descendants went out hunting. Who would have thought that when they returned in the evening, they would fall headfirst and die at the village entrance!"

Zhong Ye was shocked all over. Looking at the two young men who looked so skinny, he subconsciously turned his head away, unable to bear to look at them!
The world was in chaos, people were living in misery, and it was winter. Even if people lived in the mountains and had no shortage of wild vegetables and tree roots, countless people were forced to live in misery.

At this time, the old man came over and said in a hoarse voice: "Marshal, you are here to get food, right? We have saved it for you!"

As he spoke, he walked to the haystack at the entrance of the village, pushed aside the wet straw, and saw bags of grain piled inside.
