    What the hell is going on?

    First, his wife Ning'er left without saying goodbye and suddenly disappeared after getting married. However, when he asked the neighbors, those people actually said that they had never seen Ning'er

    How can it be?  !

    Ning¡¯er has been living with him in Nanyang for more than half a month, how could he never see her before?

    besides¡­¡­

    And what¡¯s going on with those unkillable monsters?

    Are those monsters wearing bamboo armor and blue scarves really human beings?  Why can you still move even if your head is cut off?

    On the way to flee Jingzhou with a large number of Nanyang people, Chen Suan looked at the pursuing soldiers behind him with great fear, those soldiers who were called "Qingzhou soldiers".

    "Brother Chen, run quickly, those people are coming after you!" the Zhao siblings from next door reminded Chen Suan in shock.

    Chen suddenly turned his head with interest, but was shocked to see a bright sword slashing towards his chest.

    "Hi!" Blood splattered everywhere. Under the horrified gazes of the Zhao siblings, a wound more than three feet long appeared on Chen Su's chest, extending from his right shoulder to his left abdomen.

    die¡­¡­

    Chen suddenly couldn't help but have an idea appear in his mind, and then he lost consciousness.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still alive, and even the extremely ferocious knife wound on his chest had disappeared without a trace.

    Suddenly, Chen suddenly took a breath of air.

    what happened?  What exactly is going on?

    He looked around.  He was shocked to find that everywhere he looked were corpses.  In addition to the defenders of Nanyang, there are countless people from Nanyang. A rough calculation, there are more than thousands.

    With a plop, Chen suddenly sat on the ground. He felt as if he had touched something with his right hand. He subconsciously turned his head to look, but he was almost frightened to the point of leaving his body.

    That turned out to be a female corpse with an extremely horrific death appearance

    Looking at the blood on his right hand, Chen Suan fell stupidly into a pool of blood, in a mess.

    What the hell happened?  !

    ?¡ªFour hours ago, Nanyang¡ª

    Just as Chen Ran was waiting for his missing wife Zhang Ning in front of his house as always.  Several fast horses broke into the city and headed towards the Nanyang City Guards House without stopping.

    "My lord, something bad is going on!"

    "" Nanyang City Guard Zhang Xiu, who was practicing marksmanship in the yard, frowned when he heard the sound and stopped what he was doing.  Turning around, he saw several scouts stumbling into the courtyard, looking panicked. Zhang Xiu couldn't help but darken his face and murmured, "We're finally here"

    Under Zhang Xiu's gloomy gaze, the scouts knelt down in front of him with a plop, clasped their fists and said in horror, "Lord, those Qingzhou soldiers are only more than ten miles away from Nanyang" After saying that, he paused and lowered his head.  He turned his head and lowered his voice and said, "General Zhao Xiang's troops who went to stop the attack were completely wiped out!"

    "That's right" Zhang Xiu nodded slightly and said a little tiredly, "You can go down first"

    "Yes!" The scouts clasped their fists and retreated respectfully.

    Looking at the backs of the several scouts leaving, Zhang Xiu glanced at the silver gun in his hand and his expression darkened.

    at this time.  A man walked out of the garden, looked back at Zhang Xiu and said softly, "I have already advised the Gun King. The Qingzhou soldiers under Zhang Susu are not ordinary people in this world. They are evil ghosts in the underworld, but the Gun King and General Zhao Xiang don't listen"

    I saw this man wearing a Confucian shirt and a thin figure.  His eyes were so bright that he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He was stroking the two curls of beard beside his lips and looking at Zhang Xiu quietly. Judging from his appearance, he turned out to be the chief think tank of the Baiqi Tent, Chen Gong, the first person in the White Wave Yellow Turban.

    Zhang Xiu frowned when he heard this and said with a sneer, "I am the guard of Nanyang City. How can I abandon the people under my rule and ignore them?"

    Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile, "General, you have misunderstood. I am not asking you to abandon the people, but I am just advising you. General, it is difficult to compete with the Qingzhou soldiers at this moment, but I will move the city to another place"

    "Where else?" Zhang Xiu said with a hint of sarcasm, "Sir, are you referring to the commander-in-chief Bai Qi's command?"

    Chen Gong looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he remained calm and said with a chuckle, "Hanzhong and Guanzhong have always been in the same spirit. If General Zhang can defect to my lord, my lord will welcome him!"

    "No need!" Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said calmly, "I have asked Jingzhou for help. Zhang Xiu appreciates Mr.'s so-called kindness!"

    Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and said rather unexpectedly, "It turns out that the general has been prepared" As he said that, he paused.?, he said pointedly, "But has the general ever thought about what if Jingzhou doesn't send reinforcements?"

    "" Zhang Xiu frowned when he heard this, and was about to speak when Chen Gong said first, "I heard that Cai Mao once asked Liu Jingzhou to take back Nanyang. If he refuses to send troops, he will wait for the Qingzhou soldiers to attack.  , isn¡¯t it a place where the general and the people of Nanyang City will die without losing their lives?¡±

    "" Hearing this, Zhang Xiu's face became even more worried. Seeing this, Chen Gong quickly persuaded, "Originally, my lord was also prepared to send troops to help, but Zhang Susu was also on guard against me in Hanzhong and was destined to Chang'an.  Zhong Yao led an 80,000-strong army to garrison at the border. In order to prevent unexpected events, my lord did not dare to move, so I had to come and persuade the general, hoping that the general would mobilize the entire city to defect to Hanzhong. Hanzhong is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even the Qingzhou soldiers under Zhang Susu's command  I¡¯m afraid it will be difficult to conquer for a while Looking at the world today, the only one who can resist Zhang Susu is my lord who is from the same branch as him"

    Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel a little excited after what he said, but when he thought of Liu Biao's care for him, he hesitated a little.

    After all, it was Liu Biao who ignored Zhang Xiu's grudges and forgave Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji and Sun Jian for conspiring to attack Jingzhou. Even after Zhang Ji's death, it was Liu Biao who supported Zhang Xiu. Otherwise, Zhang Xiu would have been able to defeat Zhang Xiu alone.  How can he sit in the position of Nanyang City Guards?

    Logically speaking, Zhang Xiu should be biased towards Jingzhou. However, over the years, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, has gradually grown old and left most of his affairs to his trusted wife-in-law Cai Mao. Although Cai Mao was indeed very fond of Liu Biao.  Quite loyal, but this person only wants to take back Nanyang.  He sent people several times to divide Zhang Xiu's power.  Even when those people were shouted back by Zhang Xiu one by one, Cai Hao and Zhang Xiu became like mortal enemies. Therefore, even Zhang Xiu did not dare to judge whether Cai Hao would send a large army to help.

    Just when Zhang Xiu was hesitating, a general suddenly ran into the courtyard in a hurry, clasped his fists and said urgently, "Lord, the Qingzhou soldiers have arrived at the city!"

    "So fast?!" Zhang Xiu was shocked when he heard this.  Even Chen Gong was shocked, knowing that half an hour ago, the Qingzhou soldiers were still ten miles away.

    Could it be that those Qingzhou soldiers came in a hurry?

    Looking at each other with Chen Gong, Zhang Xiu clenched the silver gun in his hand.  He strode out of the mansion.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡ªGo to the tower!¡±

    After about a stick of incense, Zhang Xiu and Chen Gong climbed up to the east wall of Nanyang. Looking from afar, they saw Qingzhou soldiers already outside the city. At a rough calculation, there were thirty thousand soldiers. What's even more incredible is that,  These Qingzhou soldiers are actually infantry.

    Thirty thousand infantrymen galloped more than ten miles in just half an hour.  And it still has the strength to attack the city, which is simply unbelievable.

    "How can it be¡­¡­"

    Under Zhang Xiu's puzzled gaze, Chen Gong leaned over the city wall, looking at the Qingzhou soldiers below the city in disbelief, and murmured, "It's clearly daytime, but these corpses can move freely No  It¡¯s possible, it¡¯s impossible!¡±

    "Ghost?" Zhang Xiu frowned slightly as if he heard Chen Gong's muttering, and was about to ask when he suddenly saw a general exclaiming beside him.  With a strange look on his face, he pointed at the city and said tremblingly, "Lord my lord, look at the city!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Xiu looked in the direction the man pointed inexplicably, and then gasped in surprise.  Among the countless Qingzhou soldiers under the city, I saw a big shot that no one knew or knew about back then.  Wen Hou Lu Bu was carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd and sitting on a red rabbit horse. He proudly walked forward from countless soldiers and looked at the city in front of him with disdain.

    "LuLu Bu!" Even Zhang Xiu, known as the spear king of the North, couldn't help but gasp in shock when he saw such a big shot.

    "L¨¹ Bu, L¨¹ Fengxian, didn't he die in Xuzhou?"

    "It is rumored that the witch Zhang Susu can resurrect the dead, but I don't think it is true" For a while, the generals around Zhang Xiu looked at each other and started talking.

    As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow. The moment Lu Bu appeared, the defenders on Nanyang City almost lost their fighting spirit, even though most of them had only heard about Lu Bu's glorious achievements and had never seen it with their own eyes.  See.

    Fortunately, Zhang Xiu saw the opportunity early. Seeing the chaos among his men, he said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, it must be someone else's fake one! - How can the dead be resurrected?"

    Seeing their lord say this, Nanyang's soldiers calmed down a little, but they obviously didn't know that their lord's heart was shaking.

    You must know that Zhang Xiu is Zhang Ji's nephew, and Zhang Ji is one of Dong Zhuo's four lieutenants. In other words, how could Zhang Xiu not know whether Lu Bu under the city was real or fake?  The reason why he said this was just to stabilize the morale of the army. After all, the reputation of the God of War Lu Bu was too loud.

    ¡°?"It's easy" After muttering to himself, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but look at Chen Gong and lowered his voice and said, "How far is your Baibo Army from Nanyang?"  "

    As if he had guessed the deep meaning of Zhang Xiu's words, Chen Gong smiled bitterly and said, "To prevent Zhong Yao, our army is stationed in the upper reaches of Luoshui River. Even if we rush here now, I am afraid it will take three days. What's more, my lord doesn't know this place yet."  The situation" As he spoke, he sighed and shook his head.

    Hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes dimmed and he murmured, "It seems that the only way to break out is by force I hope that Cai Hao will put the overall situation first!"

    As he was talking, suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the city. It turned out that it was the Qingzhou soldiers who had begun to attack the city.

    Speaking of which, there was one thing that made Zhang Xiu and his subordinates very strange. It was strange that since those Qingzhou soldiers did not carry any siege equipment, how could they attack Nanyang with its high walls?

    Now, they finally understand.

    As Lu Bu waved his halberd and pointed at the city, the nearly 30,000 Qingzhou troops immediately swarmed towards the Nanyang city wall. These monsters, which Chen Gong called zombies, actually wanted to use human ladders to attack the city wall!

    Under the shocked eyes of Zhang Xiu and his men, the Qingzhou soldiers who were the first to arrive under the city wall discarded their weapons, put their hands on their spears, and stepped on horseback with their feet as a foundation. Then, the last group of Qingzhou soldiers had  Some learned from them as the foundation, and some stepped on their shoulders, so that in just a moment of burning incense, Qingzhou soldiers built a human ladder with their bodies.  It was actually less than half the distance from the city.

    "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!" The Nanyang guard came back to his senses.  They all shouted and urged their subordinates to release arrows.

    For a moment, arrows rained down on Nanyang City. However, what was shocking was that those Qingzhou soldiers did not avoid it. Even if they were hit by several arrows, their bodies remained unmoved and they still firmly acted as the target for other Qingzhou soldiers.  Step onto the human ladder in the city.

    "Throw stones! Throw stones quickly! - hit these people down!"

    Seeing that firing arrows had no effect, the Nanyang defenders immediately changed their strategy and threw the large boulders and wood that had been prepared for the city wall at the bottom of the city.

    But what is extremely shocking is that those Qingzhou soldiers still do not dodge.  Even if a few people were hit by the huge stone with bloody heads and brains splashed out, other Qingzhou soldiers immediately filled the gap.

    "Pour them with fire oil! Burn them to death!" The Nanyang defenders, who were increasingly frightened, were forced to use the last resort.

    After a ping-pong sound of broken earthen jars, the Nanyang defenders on the city threw burning torches one after another.  For a moment, a fire broke out under the city, and countless Qingzhou soldiers who were doused with kerosene were suddenly engulfed in endless flames. But what is incredible is that even so, the human ladder still showed no sign of collapse, and instead got higher and higher.

    "how come¡­¡­"

    For a time, endless panic filled the Nanyang defenders on the city. They looked in disbelief at the Qingzhou soldiers below the city who were burned beyond recognition by the flames but were still standing.

    These guys.  Is he really a human being?

    What made them even more unbelievable was that some Qingzhou soldiers who had been burned to the ground actually stood up again after a while, accompanied by a disgusting muscle squirm on their faces. These inhuman  The monster actually recovered as before.

    "No, it's impossible"

    With a Nanyang guard yelling at the top of his lungs, a Qingzhou soldier finally rushed up to the city wall and chopped it down with a knife.

    In just a short moment, the towering and solid city wall of Nanyang was revealed.  It was unexpectedly attacked by the Qingzhou soldiers in just a moment. What a ferocious attack it was.

    Not to mention Zhang Xiu, even Chen Gong probably didn't expect that the Qingzhou soldiers under Zhang Susu had such power, and what was even more unbearable was that.  All of those Qingzhou soldiers seemed to be immortal, except for a very few Qingzhou soldiers who had their heads chopped off.  The rest, no matter how seriously injured, can recover within a few moments.

    What¡¯s more, some Qingzhou soldiers were almost exhausted, but after taking something unknown, they became extremely powerful and invulnerable in a short period of time.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not to mention the terrifying strength of these guys who can smash rocks with one punch, just the invulnerable rigid body, how can it be done by ordinary soldiers?

    "Yellow Turban Warrior" Chen Gong muttered to himself, finally understanding why Zhang Baiqi's expression changed during the meeting.

    What¡¯s worse is that the Qingzhou soldiers under Zhang Susu¡¯s command have obviously surpassed the Yellow Turban Warriors created by the general Zhang Bao, and have become out-and-out monsters, monsters that are almost impossible to kill!

    "drink!"

    With a loud roar, the silver spear in Zhang Xiu's hand penetrated the chest of a Qingzhou soldier without any hindrance.

    "Humph!" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly as the monster in front of him froze.Maybe others can¡¯t hurt these monsters in front of them, but who is he?  He is the spear king of the North, Zhang Xiu, who has the strength to defeat tens of thousands of enemies and is below the level of a Martial God!

    Even though the strength of those Qingzhou soldiers increased dramatically after taking the elixir, they were definitely no match for Zhang Xiu.

    However, just when Zhang Xiu was about to withdraw the silver gun in his hand, he was shocked to find that the Qingzhou soldier who had been pierced through the heart actually reached out and grabbed the body of the silver gun. The force was so strong that Zhang Xiu was stunned.  For a moment, he couldn't even withdraw the gun in his hand.

    "How is that possible?" Zhang Xiu's face showed a look of horror, and at this moment, the Qingzhou soldier in front of him raised the machete in his right hand high.

    ¡°My lord, be careful!¡± the general beside him yelled.

    Zhang Xiu came to his senses immediately, turned sideways to avoid the slashing blade, then drew out the sharp sword from his waist, and chopped off the head of the Qingzhou soldier in front of him with one stroke of his sword.

    Will you die like this?

    While Zhang Xiu was secretly guessing, the headless Qingzhou soldier grabbed his hands with such force that it was difficult for Zhang Xiu to break free for a while. Fortunately, his general Zhang Fang saw this and hurriedly raised his sword.  After cutting off the hands of the Qingzhou soldier, Zhang Xiu was able to get out of trouble.

    What kind of monster is this?

    Looking at the headless Qingzhou soldier and his severed head and hands, which gradually turned into a pile of sand and disappeared in the wind, Zhang Xiu and his general Zhang Fang looked at each other with horror on their faces.

    ¡°After being pierced through the heart and decapitated, there was still a trace of breath to fight back Are these guys really human?

    Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu's heart sank to the bottom, and he gradually realized that trying to protect Nanyang from the crazy attack of these monsters was simply a fool's dream.

    "Open the city gate! Evacuate! - Tell the people in the city to evacuate from the south gate!" Zhang Xiu issued his last order as the guard of Nanyang City just before resurrecting and fighting back among the monsters.

    It has to be said that Zhang Xiu did have a high reputation in Nanyang. Even at such a critical moment, some generals followed his orders. After a while, the South City Gate opened, and the people in the city did not know what was going on.  He was driven out of the city by Nanyang's defenders.

    After instructing the people to flee to Jingzhou in the south, the defenders turned back and attacked the Qingzhou soldiers, because their beloved city guard was still among the rebels.

    At the same time, Lu Bu seemed to have noticed Zhang Xiu in the bloody battle. Seeing him wielding a spear with one hand and a sword with the other, harvesting the Qingzhou soldiers one after another, Lu Bu frowned, clamped the horse's belly, and waved  With the halberd in his hand, he struck towards Zhang Xiu.

    At this moment, Zhang Xiu was concentrating on fighting for his generals and the people in the city. Suddenly, he heard an evil wind coming from behind his head. He turned his head subconsciously, but was shocked to see a painted halberd with a cold light hanging on his forehead.  .

    Martial God Lu Bu!

    At that moment, even Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel his liver and gallbladder split with horror.

    At that critical moment, suddenly, a white shadow flashed past. When Zhang Xiu came to his senses, he found that there was an extra person in front of him. He was sitting on a white horse and wearing silver armor.  , a young general carrying a silver gun.

    "Boom!"

    The painted halberd in Lu Bu's hand collided with the silver spear in the man's hand. The wave of air aroused made Zhang Xiu even take a few steps back, not to mention those Qingzhou soldiers who were all blown away several feet.

    "Huh?" Lu Bu's face showed a solemn look for the first time.

    But he saw that the general ignored Lu Bu at all, turned back to look at Zhang Xiu, and said apologetically, "Sorry, senior brother, Yun is a step late"

    ??????????????????????????? For some reason, when Zhang Xiu saw the young general in front of him, there was a bit of surprise on Zhang Xiu's face full of sorrow.

    "Who are you?" Lu Bu asked in a solemn voice, taking back his halberd.

    I saw the general flicking the silver in his hand and shouting in a deep voice, "Chang ShanZhao Zilong!" As he spoke, an extremely strong aura erupted from his body. Even though he was alone, he was like a thousand troops, no less inferior than Lu Bu.

    The only one who can possess such majestic momentum is
