fairy family

Chapter 161: Sending troops to suppress bandits, the Great Tomb Cave

"magic weapon?!"

Yu Que stayed in the tent, frowning as he read the secret message coming from the general's tent.

He immediately invited Old Monkey over and asked him to help him with advice.

When the old monkey learned that the commander of the Seventh Army was likely to have obtained a magic weapon, his face tightened and he kept looking at Yu Que.

"You are really willing to invest. It seems that the Snake Family really has to pay their debts. It's just that a red snake died in your hands, and the death was unclear. If we really investigate, it will be their fault.

Now they even sent you a magic weapon, just to kill you."

The old fellow was amazed.

When Yu Que heard the old monkey's guess, which was the same as his own, his face became even gloomier: "Sure enough, even you, the senior, think that the Snake family is behind this."

"Of course. How can a mere neighborhood soldier commander deserve to obtain a genuine magic weapon with his seventh-rank status, especially in such a recent time?" The old monkey muttered.

Yu Que's face was cold and he showed obvious murderous intent.

If we say that before, the Seventh Commander tried every means to plot against him, it could barely be regarded as an internal conflict of the county soldier camp and it did not involve life and death.

Now the other party has even taken out his magic weapon, holding a sharp weapon in his hand, and is filled with murderous intent. It seems that he no longer cares about even the female general of Huangshan, and wants to capture him completely, or take his remaining life.

"Debts must be repaid!" Yu Que said coldly, his eyes flickering.

Just as he was forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart and thinking about how to protect himself after sending out the troops, he suddenly realized that the old monkey next to him was also surprised, but not too panicked.

Yu Que looked at the other person carefully and found that he seemed to be watching a show.

He was certain in his heart, and quickly said: "Excuse me, Senior, is there any way to restrain that sixth-grade magic weapon?"

The old monkey tapped the pipe in his hand, exhaled and said:
"It can't be considered restraint. But the Seventh Commander is just a wandering immortal. Even if he has a magic weapon, he is not equivalent to a third-grade immortal. With me here, even if I can't defeat him, I can take you away without any problem."

The old man didn't care: "What's more, you are now among the county soldiers, and the general is watching you. If that guy dares to make a move, I can work with the general to take away his magic weapon and give it to you."

Hearing this, Yu Que felt relieved and even showed a look of joy.

He immediately stood up and bowed to this person:

"Then I'll trouble you to take care of me again during this expedition. As for the magic weapon, it's expensive, and it would be a waste to give it to me."

Yu Que said a lot of nice things, which made the old monkey narrow his eyes, as if he quite enjoyed Yu Que's respectful look.

At the same time, after Yu Que learned that there might be magic weapons among the soldiers of the Seventh Brigade, he felt a little regretful. He regretted that he did not sell his house and iron to refine the ghost soldiers in the past three months.

If he had a hundred ghost cavalrymen in his hands, he would not need the protection of the old monkey. He could kill the seventh commander with just the ghost cavalrymen.

So he took advantage of the gap before sending out his troops, picked up his military jar, walked into the quiet room, and began to frantically refine ghost cavalry.

After a few days of hard work.

When the order to send troops was finally issued, Yu Que walked out of the quiet room with light steps.

He stroked the jar on his waist and sighed slightly.

After all, time was too tight, and he only sacrificed eight more ghost cavalrymen, and was unable to add any more ghost cavalrymen that had melted true fire.

"There are a total of thirty-eight ghost soldiers, which can be used at least." Yu Que said secretly in his heart.

quickly.

The time has officially come for the troops to be dispatched as ordered by the Huangshan female general.

The entire Huangshan stronghold became extremely solemn, with a murderous atmosphere filling the air inside and outside. Even the soldiers and horses in the stronghold became silent.

Some livestock, such as cattle and sheep, became restless and kept screaming.

There was no military deployment ceremony held in the village. Jun Baifeng simply called all the commanders and the abbots to his presence, and after a few brief instructions, he handed out the marching map and ordered everyone to set off immediately in order!
Boom boom boom!
Several cowhide drums were beating at the gate of the village. The sound was as dull as thunder, making the already nervous county soldiers even more nervous, especially those new recruits who had just joined the county army this year.

Bimafang, where Yu Que was located, was arranged in the center of the army, neither front nor back, and was surrounded by soldiers from the thirteen fangs. There were also a large number of auxiliary soldiers on the left and right to help carry and pull equipment.

Besides, there were still a few old horses and donkeys in Bimafang, so he and several old friends in the square each had a horse, and their treatment was considered top-notch in the army.

As for Jun Baifeng himself, he was walking at the front of the army.

The destination of her expedition was kept secret from everyone and she did not inform anyone in advance. All they had to do was follow her.

Such a plan was naturally criticized by many people, but this woman was the commander of the county soldiers, and everyone calculated based on the half-month rations they carried that even if the destination of this march was away from Huangshan, it should not be too far away.

Everyone in the village silently accepted Jun Baifeng's plan.

The wheels rumble and the horses neigh.

Those who went to the army this time were all strong and healthy men, and the old and weak who were able to follow the army also had horses to ride.

The crowd climbed over mountains and crossed ridges, cleared a path through the mountains, and built bridges over water. In just four or five days, they had climbed over twenty or thirty hilltops and waded through countless streams and rivers, marching for at least six hours a day.

Under such high-intensity marching, the county soldiers suffered a lot.

Fortunately, when the seventh day came, Jun Baifeng ordered the entire army to march only three hours a day, and on the second day, everyone arrived at a foggy forest.

When everyone set up camp temporarily, dozens of dark-shadow scouts rushed into the foggy mountain to act as spies.

Yu Que and the others calmed down and kept discussing:

"We have been walking for seven or eight days. Have we reached the top of that mountain? Does any brother know this place?"

Yu Que himself is ignorant and naive.

He was now in the fog with no sun overhead. Although there were some mosses and other things in the forest that allowed him to barely distinguish the directions of east, south, west and north, it was still completely blind for him.

When he went to ask the old monkey for advice, he found that the old monkey also didn't understand and kept muttering:
"Based on our walking speed, we should have just left Huangshan. But this place doesn't match any place I remember.

Could it be that there is a large formation here, so it would be impossible to find it unless you know how to get in and out?"

The man pulled his beard, looking at the foggy mountain in front of him that looked like a giant. He looked eager to go and explore it personally.

After Yu Que noticed it, he quickly held the man back, lest after the old monkey left, he would be alone in the county army and be targeted by the seventh commander. Just as everyone was talking about it, a strange cry came from the foggy mountain.

There was a whoosh sound, and the sound of an arrow breaking through the wind was heard.

The old monkey's expression changed slightly, and he quickly pulled Yu Que off the horse and asked him to keep a low profile.

Faced with the sudden movement, the county soldiers became agitated, but under the suppression of commanders at all levels, they stood up and calmed down after a few breaths. The county soldiers, equipped with swords, axes, bows and arrows, shields and other weapons, lined up according to their usual training.

The entire county army immediately became like a turtle shell, and the roaring and screaming horses, under the control of knights from all sides, kept digging the ground, waiting for the order to rush out of the formation.

Whoosh, a large number of gray-black figures rushed out from behind the scouts.

They were also riding horses, and the horses' eyes were filled with pale green ghost lights, and their faces revealed cruel expressions.

When they suddenly saw the county soldiers waiting in formation, looks of surprise and doubt immediately appeared on the faces of these horse bandits.

In response to their surprise, Jun Baifeng gave an order:
"Each district will send out troops to suppress the bandits according to the battle formation!"

With a sound of neighing horses, rays of light rose up in the county soldiers' camp.

The silent footsteps and the loud sound of horse hooves suddenly continued in the dense forest.

The sound of flesh falling to the ground was heard right in front of the county soldiers.

Yu Que was in the team. He looked at the ever-changing battlefield. Besides an unfamiliar chill in his heart, a sense of restlessness surged through his whole body.

The battlefield was raging, and he wished he could pick up his white-back sword, mount his horse, and gallop over to reap the heads of the enemies.

At this time, the old horse monkey beside him was not at all panicked in the chaos of the fight. Instead, he looked at the horse bandits who rushed to his door calmly.

After taking a few more glances, the old man's eyes showed understanding:

"No wonder he is so elusive, it turns out he is one of the ghost bandits who was so powerful ten years ago that he almost broke through the twelfth market and invaded the county town.

It was strangled ten years ago, and now it seems that the root has not been removed. "

When Yu Que saw that the old monkey had recognized the bandits' followers, he immediately spoke up:
"Senior, can you come forward and fight these bandits?"

The old monkey heard this and took a look at Yu Que's expression. The other party laughed loudly, and immediately climbed onto the donkey official and shouted:

"It's okay, let's just send out the troops to fight. With me here, there's nothing to be afraid of these few remnants of bandits."

Hearing the old monkey's signal, Yu Que's face was filled with joy.

He has been practicing for a long time, but what he lacks is a bloody battle to properly train himself.

Now that he is joining the army to fight bandits, it is a great opportunity for him to hone his skills.

However, after Yu Que climbed onto his horse, he did not immediately draw his sword and kill the bandits.

He slapped the military jar on his waist.

With a whoosh, ten ghost horse monkey cavalrymen rolled out, fell to the ground and turned into eight or nine feet tall monsters, and surrounded him and the old horse monkey tightly in the center.

Yu Que's action not only surprised the grooms of the Bimafang who were accompanying the army, but also made the other soldiers and commanders around him a little surprised.

"What a fat and strong ghost soldier! Bi Ma Weng is indeed a man who should not be underestimated."

The last time Yu Que subdued Xue Luo Ling, he only exposed his White Back Sword, and no one had ever seen his ghost soldiers.

Now that he took out the ghost soldiers, many knowledgeable people finally remembered that the rumored Yu Que was the descendant of the fifth lineage that inherited the King of Hell's magic lineage.

Although he is just a logistical horse breeder, what he is best at is commanding soldiers!
Under the gazes of many people, Yu Que and Lao Mahou, two men on two horses, rushed towards the fleeing bandits.

Because their soldiers were ghost cavalry, they moved very fast as ghosts when running and leaping, and immediately caught up with a group of bandits, preventing them from escaping. They could only run towards Yu Que and Lao Mahou, the two old and young.

The fate that the opponents faced immediately was that they were cut and chopped off by the Ghost Cavalry. They could only move forward one by one and fight with Yu Que, and then they were easily pierced through the head by Yu Que's White Back Sword.

Less than ten breaths.

Yu Que was riding his old horse, pacing in the damp black soil, with six bandits lying beneath him.

Not only did he take the lives of the bandits, but he also smashed the ghosts and gods in their bodies, and then took the opportunity to put them into the soldier jar.

Yu Que achieved some small results, and the entire county military camp was like a ferocious beast, easily swallowing up the prey that pounced on it, in a bloody and barbaric manner.

Commander Jun Baifeng seemed to have anticipated this and did not take the attacking bandits seriously. After listening to the report from the scouts, she confirmed that there was nothing unusual here and immediately drove the entire army to press forward towards Wushan.

Zizizi!
When the army approached the Misty Mountain, thicker fog rose up, and its color was scarlet, which was quite intimidating.

“Break! Break! Break!!”

However, after only three shouts from the county soldiers, a military aura erupted, directly tearing apart the blood mist and completely revealing the true face of Wushan.

This mountain is not high, only a hundred feet.

The mountain surface is piled with yellow soil, and its shape is square. It does not seem to be a naturally formed hill, but more like an artificial one.

Yu Que saw the mountain from afar. He did not need to ask the old monkey for advice. He was surprised:
"The loess forms a hill, and there is a nine-square formation. Is this a huge tomb?"

He looked at it several times to make sure he was not mistaken, and he heard people around him talking about it. They all agreed that what appeared in front of the army was a large tomb.

However, as everyone has not yet gone deep into the tomb, there are many different opinions about the age of the tomb, and even Old Monkey is not sure.

Immediately afterwards, soldiers from Huangshan County filed in, surrounded the hundred-foot-high tomb mound from both sides.

There was only one hole in the tomb, which seemed to be the entrance to the tomb. The bandits who had previously attacked them had completely retreated into the tomb. Only from time to time, cold arrows or ghosts would rush out from the tomb to harass everyone.

Faced with this situation, Jun Baifeng was not in a hurry at all. She quickly called Yu Que and others to her side and announced the order to set up camp.

In just a few hours, a solid fence was raised, and arrow towers, torches, barracks and other facilities appeared one after another, completely surrounding the hundred-foot tomb.

Yu Que looked at the huge camp that didn't look like a temporary camp at all, with a surprised look on his face, muttering to himself;
"It seems that this time we are sending out troops to suppress bandits is only secondary, and digging graves is the real business?"
