Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 143 The Cursed Land
Taking advantage of the wind, the fire instantly made the flames blaze, almost lighting up half of the sky. The wailing of the Xiliang army and the screaming of the resentful spirits in the air merged into one, as if a ghost was dying, and people were terrified when they heard it.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Liu Bian quickly ordered Tiangou to jump out of the city gate, so as not to be affected by the fire.The Xiliang army trapped inside was not so lucky.The sparks flew in all directions and landed on the person, sticking to the armor in an instant, and the smell of burnt and musty smell was immediately introduced into the nose.

The pain of burning flesh is unbearable for ordinary people.Crying and shouting sounded one after another, Xiliang soldiers no longer cared about maintaining any formation, and were busy rolling and thumping on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.However, the death knight Hua Xiong has already issued an order for the entire army to attack the skeleton soldiers under him. Those skeletons don't care about flames or not. The second carried out the kill order.

In the flames, the bones of some skeletons gradually burned up. The flames were ferocious. With the red bones inside, they were really a group of demons from hell!

"Get out of the city!" Liu Bian quickly issued an order to Hua Xiong to withdraw his troops in his heart. The two thousand undead soldiers under him were hard-earned, and he was unwilling to be buried in the sea of ​​fire with Xiliang soldiers for nothing.

The headless horseman was killing at this time, the skeleton horse and his body were already covered with a few sparks, but he didn't realize it, the green light in the headless chest was flying like dots, and the headless horse was in front of him because of the killing. The leftover blood fused together, causing the flesh and blood of the dead body to corrode in large swaths, turning into blood and flowing on the ground.

As soon as the flame fell on the blood, it seemed to be stained with oil, and it burned instantly, turning into strands of fire that spread far away.

Upon receiving the order to retreat, the two thousand undead soldiers immediately turned around and left the city.They are directly under Liu Bian's jurisdiction, and they will never question any orders issued by their masters, so they will retreat as soon as they say it, without ambiguity.

The undead soldiers themselves are relatively strong. Even if the Xiliang soldiers are in the best condition, it takes at least five people to deal with one, not to mention how exhausted and difficult they are all now?So there was no barrier at all, and the two thousand undead soldiers withdrew from the city gate, while the remaining skeletons were unable to retreat for a while because of their slow movement and the fact that the flames had surrounded the whole city.

"Master, this is the best time to annihilate the Xiliang army. Skeleton soldiers are nothing but cannon fodder. After this fire, even if they withdraw from the city, it will be useless. According to my subordinates, as long as the skeleton soldiers are used to hold them back They, within a moment, these Xiliang troops will all be reduced to ashes!" Hua Xiong's consciousness came back from afar, as a death knight, he retained the memory of his previous life, and he was born with the ability to lead troops to fight , so I immediately thought of this strategy.

Liu Bian also knew what Hua Xiong said was true, but he couldn't bear to let thirty thousand soldiers be burned alive in the city. Looking at the blazing sea of ​​flames, he could only sigh and smile wryly.

In Hua Xiong's thinking, Liu Bian was acquiescing to his actions at this time.So the long knife in his hand was held high, and with an order, the skeleton soldiers abandoned their opponents and swarmed to block the gate of the city, blocking the narrow gate tightly.In this way, those Xiliang troops couldn't get out of the city when they were surrounded by fire, so how could they survive?
The hierarchy among undead creatures is extremely strict, and generally inferior undead creatures can only blindly obey the arrangements of their superiors, even if they "die", they are not afraid.That's why ten thousand undead soldiers blocked it, even if those Xiliang soldiers who were trapped in the sea of ​​flames were struggling and howling, they would not be able to advance half a step unless they knocked the skeleton in front of them into pieces.

As early as Hua Xiong ordered all the skeleton soldiers to encircle and wrap up, he had already driven his horse back, rushed out from the gap between the skeleton soldiers, and came to Liu Bian's side.

This big fire only made the red flames go straight into the night sky, which can be seen clearly from tens of miles away. The roar of ghosts in the sky echoed with the wailing of Xiliang soldiers in the city, pain, fear, Negative emotions such as hatred, together with the thick smoke, gathered like a cloud, condensed in the air for a long time.If Liu Bian's undead spell was more exquisite, he would be able to see that these countless negative emotions were in line with the essence of the curse spell.After this catastrophe, Xingyang City has completely changed from a dead place to a cursed place, corresponding to the plagued land from Luoyang to Sishuiguan in the distance, and has become two forbidden places that ordinary mortals must never set foot in.

The scorched smell immediately dispersed in the air and floated into Liu Bian's nose, making him frown. He didn't want to stay here any longer, and he didn't even want to collect the soul fire of the dead. He brought two thousand dead souls with him overnight. Soldiers and Hua Xiong left Xingyang for Hongnong.

At this time, two black shadows suddenly fell from a place beside the city wall. Two people with crooked clothes and scorched faces who couldn't see their faces rolled down from the city wall and fell to the ground.Then, a big fire burst into the ground inside the city wall, turning the vague and weak calls inside into screams.

These two were none other than Li Cui and Guo Si, the leaders of the Xiliang Army.

When the fire broke out in Xingyang and the city gate was surrounded by skeleton soldiers, Li urged Guo Si to sense that something was wrong, and wanted to lead the army to break through, but he didn't dare to face Hua Xiong.It wasn't until later that the fire became fierce, and all parts of the city were already burning, and the soldiers around them fell one by one, and the two of them panicked.The two of them were protected by their own soldiers who were not afraid of death, so they were not injured.

At the back, there were no people standing in the city, and there were only more than a hundred soldiers left. At this time, they had no choice but to let the soldiers build a "herringbone ladder" along a wall where the fire was less intense. With the last sliver of strength to feed, I finally crawled out.Although the Xiliang army hadn't eaten for a day and a night, as the commander, they always had their own way, and they couldn't be hungry, so they had the strength to climb out on the shoulders of others.However, following the flames in the city, the two men led troops from Luoyang City to support the [-] troops at Sishui Pass. So far, the entire army was wiped out, and they didn't even see the appearance of Sishui Pass. .

Li urged Guo Bang to look at each other, and the two Xiliang men couldn't help hugging each other, howling and crying.

Liu Bian led the rest of the troops to march quickly, and soon caught up with Li Su's troops who were dawdling in front of them. Those people were weak in physique, and they needed each other's support even when they walked. Hurrying, but it's not as good as the one-hour journey of the undead soldiers.The raging flames in the rear caught the attention of these people, and they stopped to watch from time to time, all with a look of luck.If they were still in the city, they would probably have turned into coke by now.

Hua Xiong's skeleton warhorse was taken back by Liu Bian for a reason that was too shocking to the world, and turned into a pile of bones.Hua Xiong also disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and followed Liu Bian.Because he was worried about the situation in Icecrown City next to Hongnong City, Liu Bian didn't bother Li Su, but said that Li Su urged Guo Si's army to be wiped out, and they could go on their way with peace of mind without worrying.After that, he hurried on his horse and drove through the night through the night.
