Nightwatcher Chapter 51: Love is not in control

The walking corpse placed the wooden box in front of Xu Qi'an and turned away.

"Crack it!"

Xu Qi'an's fingertips were placed on the brass lock, the air machine replaced the key, and the bolt bounced off.

The moment the wooden box was opened, he smelled the antiseptic and insect-proof powder, and inside the box was a roll of animal skins.

If it weren't deliberately made of animal skins, then the age of this map is definitely more than two thousand years. In the age of Confucian sages, the carrier of books was bamboo slips, and the animal skins were older than bamboo slips...........Xu Qi'an thought in his heart, unfolding a half-roll of animal skins.

After unfolding, it can be seen that the map is torn from the middle and is the left half of a complete map.

The map drawing technique is very strange, with distorted and irregular lines all over it, a bit similar to the map of Xu Qi'an in his previous life.

Except for the lines, there are no fonts.

I remember that when I was studying, the topographic map was also such a mess of lines...........Xu Qi'an looked at You Shi and said:

"Has this picture been decrypted?"

Of course, this map cannot be the same as the topographic map of the previous life.

You Shi shook his head:

"My father has researched and thought that the lines in the picture symbolize the mountains and rivers and the veins, and only sorcerers can understand... And even if a sorcerer wants to find the corresponding area in the Kyushu mainland, it is also a needle in a haystack."

Because it was almost impossible to find, he happily traded to Xu Qi'an.

Anyway, if you stay in the Corpse Gu Department, there is a high probability that it can only be sealed up forever. In this case, it's better to exchange it for the ancient corpse and keep it in the tribe for a few days.

Thinking of the perfect corpse, Yu Shi's heart beats faster and his blood boils.

Xu Qi'an moved her ear, and heard the woman's moan in the depths of the yard suddenly louder and more intense.

He didn't take it seriously, and took out the coffin from the fragments of the ground book on the spot, and then put away the wooden box containing the half-roll map.

"By the way, I advise you not to treat strange things to it, so as not to be contaminated with cause and effect. Although I think the cause and effect of it have been completely eliminated."

Xu Qi'an reminded with a smile.

"You Shi" glanced at him with a white pupil, and said:

"In our Corpse Gu Department, there is an old saying-if you can't hold back your desires, you can't get things done.

"Anyone who is expected to be in the fourth rank can resist the temptation of the natal Gu. Although our clan does not prohibit this aspect, but those who go beyond the rules with the corpse are some incompetent dogs."

.........Xu Qi'an's face slowly stiffened.

"You Shi" didn't notice his abnormal face, and he was engrossed in admiring the ancient corpse and waved his hand:

"Let's go, don't disturb me."

..........

Xu Qi'an returned to the Ligu Department, and the warm sun hung high. The time was three quarters hour and three. He first went back to the house and saw Luo Yuheng.

The national teacher sits cross-legged, talks about practicing, watching him come in, opens his beautiful eyes, smiles, like a beautiful woman who loves to laugh in a spring day, among the flowers.

Oh, Xiaoxi...Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaoxi and Xiaoai are both positive personalities, always happy, without any negative emotions, and are willing to do double cultivation. Follow what he meant.

"Southern Xinjiang is really nice, the climate is warm, the birds and flowers are scented, I am very happy."

Luo Yuheng smiled and said.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes. I helped the Chinese teacher pat the mosquitoes last night, and the buttocks were all red."

Xu Qi'an smiled.

Luo Yuheng glanced at him, a little bit shy, but not angry, still happy.

Replaced with an "anger" personality, a sword sent me to heaven......... Xu Qi'an then looked at Xu Lingyin who was asleep on the bed and asked:

"Why did Ringtone come back here to sleep."

Luo Yuheng said helplessly:

"Not long after you left, she ran in and said that she suspected that Master Lina wanted to eat her, and came to look for you in fear, but you were not there."

.........Xu Qi'an groaned: "Did you find that you have bite marks on your wrist?"

Luo Yuheng nodded.

After Ling Yin was promoted, her appetite significantly increased. When she returned to Beijing in the future, her aunt would cry................Xu Qi'an didn't know what to say, so she had to pray for her aunt in his heart.

On the third day, the warriors of the Heart Gu Department, Corpse Gu Department, Power Gu Department, and Dark Gu Department were assembled.

Among them, there are five hundred flying beasts in the Heart Gu Department, 400 warriors in the Power Gu Department, 600 mature corpse control hands in the Corpse Gu Department, and 800 elites in the Shadow Department. There are a total of 2,300 Gu tribes, plus one thousand. A powerful walking dead puppet.

The mighty team of more than 3,000 members left southern Xinjiang for Qingzhou.

It is worth mentioning that Lina's eldest brother Mosang is also in the team of the Li Gu Department.

And Lina herself intends to consolidate Power Gu, and after absorbing the power of Gu God's vitality and blood, she will also go north to Qingzhou to participate in the war and sharpen Gu Dao.

For the four hundred elites to go on the expedition, the Ligu Ministry is both happy and worried. The joy is that the rations of these people will be handed over to Dafeng in the future, and the elders secretly ordered the young men on the expedition:

"You can eat vigorously and eat the granary of the poor Central Plains."

The worry is that after this group of people left, the hunting manpower became scarce. The old people who used to only farm or didn't work at all, now have to roll up their sleeves and go hunting in the mountains.

.............

Late night!

In the military tent ten miles away in Songshan County, Zhuo Haoran was sitting at the conference table. In front of him was a copper basin with freshly roasted lamb legs.

He held the leg of lamb in his left hand, biting hard, and the long knife on his right hand was stained with blood.

On both sides of the conference table, there are silent generals.

Just after a great battle, the Yunzhou Army under Zhuo Haoran repelled the Dafeng defending army that had attacked all night. Such attacks have occurred from time to time in the past few days.

The generals took a peek at Zhuo Haoran, did not dare to speak, the atmosphere in the military tent was frozen, only the sound of Zhuo Haoran biting the leg of the lamb.

The five-day deadline has long passed, and Songshan County has not yet taken it down.

Not only was it not taken down, but the Yunzhou Army suffered heavy losses.

Zhuo Haoran is a fierce general, his personal combat strength is brave, and his ability to lead troops is also outstanding. His strategy for the capture of Songshan County is to organize the refugees to consume the opponent's artillery shells, crossbows and arrows in the first three days.

As well as defensive armaments such as wood fire oil.

During this period, sent masters among the refugees, waiting for an opportunity to board the city wall, destroying artillery and bed crossbows.

This trick has achieved excellent results.

On the third day of the siege battle, the defending army only had two artillery pieces and a bed crossbow. It was difficult to achieve a general trend. They could only fight against the siege Yunzhou army with wood, kerosene, and archers.

When Zhuo Haoran saw this, he immediately dispatched the elite infantry who had been dormant for three days to attack the city.

However, when the elite infantry of the Yunzhou Army rushed into the range of the artillery, gunfire suddenly blasted from the head of the city, the bowstring thundered, and the fierce firepower directly stunned the elite infantry.

After the siege failed, seven or eight hundred people were left behind and retreated hastily.

At that time, Xu New Year still had a batch of artillery and bed crossbows on hand, but for the first three days, he forbeared not using them, even though the defenders suffered heavy casualties in the process.

Speaking from the words "kindness not in charge" alone, Zhuo Haoran had to admit that the guy was a qualified leader.

The general said that the essence of war is to win at all costs.

Unable to attack from the front, Zhuo Haoran secretly divided his troops and let the elite soldiers attack from the dangerous peaks in the south at night. As a result, they stepped on the traps of wild mountains and deep pits with sharp wooden stakes.

Except for the master to break through, the soldiers suffered heavy losses.

Zhuo Haoran worried that Songshan County hadn't rained for more than half a month, and the mountains were dry. That would probably set the mountain on fire during the New Year, so he dispelled his plan to bypass the dangerous peak and attack the defenders.

On the fourth day of the night, the head of the city suddenly beat the drums, and then the sound of horses' hooves was loud.

The siege failed in the day, and the exhausted Yunzhou Army thought that the enemy had attacked and led the army to fight it. It turned out that the enemy made a false shot and did not attack at all.

After several times, the Yunzhou Army was exhausted.

At dawn, the drums on the head of the city rang again, but the Yunzhou rebels did not take it seriously. They only sent scouts and a small number of troops out of the camp to check the situation.

As a result, a thousand Qingqi rushed into the formation, and the Yunzhou Army killed and injured more than two thousand people.

Six thousand elites lost one third.

On the fifth day, Zhuo Haoran forcibly attacked the city regardless of loss, and returned with a feather, hurting both with the defending army.

But at night, the defending army repeated the same tricks again, and the Yunzhou army was unbearably disturbed.

It is now the seventh day, and the four thousand people of the refugee organization have been killed and injured, while the six thousand elites under Zhuo Haoran have only three thousand left.

As for the defending army, there are nearly two thousand people.

From the current comparison of the numbers of the two sides, Songshan County can't win.

Zhuo Haoran swallowed the last bite of meat, and coldly swept over the generals, saying:

"Let the soldiers sleep well, and there will be no more harassment tonight.

"Full of sleep, the dawn breaks the city!"

He has a calm expression and a confident expression. It seems that dawn will definitely break the city~IndoMTL.com~ Miao Youfang and Zhujun led five hundred cavalry through the city gate and returned to the base camp.

"General Bamboo, Jiro cooked the cows in the city. How many drinks?"

Miao Youfang's warm invitation.

Zhu Jun is a thin, middle-aged man, taciturn, and the only Fourth Grade in Songshan County, responsible for guarding the North City Gate.

Because of his presence, Xu Erlang dared to let the cavalry attack the enemy camp, otherwise he would die.

He shook his head and said lightly:

"Let Mr. Xu send it to the North City Gate, and just drink."

After that, I took my subordinates and ran away on horseback.

"Uninteresting!"

Miao Youfang shook his head, turned over and dismounted, and climbed up the top of the city along the steps.

There are iron pots on the horse track, and the soldiers are sitting around the iron pot and eating meat.

They have happy smiles on their faces, eating meat with great enthusiasm.

Miao Youfang looked at the excited faces of the soldiers and remembered the dialogue between Bai Rili and Xu Erlang.

Xu Erlang forcibly requisitioned the cattle, dogs, chickens and ducks of the people in the county to treat the soldiers of the city and compensate them with a small amount of rice.

Miao Youfang felt wrong at first, and said to his heart that this is not a disguised plunder of people’s property.

But Xu Erlang told him that during the war, the interests of the soldiers must always come first, and the people second. Soldiers fought **** days, exhausted, and eating meat can boost morale.

As for the people, if they can't keep the city, their ending will be even worse.

Miao Youfang now feels that what he said really makes sense.

He walked straight into Wengcheng, saw Xu Erlang at his desk looking at the map, frowning silently.

"Jiro, according to your statement, they should withdraw their troops tomorrow."

"If there are no reinforcements, it is true."

Xu Erlang looked up:

"But I think the reinforcements of the Yunzhou rebels are coming soon."
