South of Wulin, there are unknown mountains. This place is a hundred miles away from Wulin, far beyond the monitoring of the demon army camp. Even if a few demon army scouts come here to explore, they will disappear without any reason.
The sound of fighting on the river downstream was still faintly audible in these mountains even not long ago. However, now there is no sound for a long time. Because the wind direction has begun to change.
Southeast wind! The wind direction, which was extremely rare in this season, suddenly began to change. Hundreds of thousands of people in the mountains quietly looked at the flag that suddenly turned to the northwest, even breathing with extreme caution.
"This wind direction" Zhuge Liang pondered slightly on the high platform on the bank of Red Cliff. He picked a feather from the feather fan and put it in his hand. The feather suddenly floated up and drifted towards the northwest.
"The wind direction has indeed become a bit strange. If our army uses fire to attack the enemy's camp, it will be twice the result with half the effort. But now, it has no impact on the battle situation." Zhou Yu also noticed the change in the wind direction, and said calmly after thinking for a moment.
"Is there no impact" Zhuge Liang repeated Zhou Yu's words in a low voice, seeming thoughtful. The battle in front of us has entered a period of intense hand-to-hand combat. Perhaps it is really as Zhou Yu said, without any impact?
"The direction of the wind has changed, is it you?" Outside the dark demon army's magic tent, the red-haired demon lord stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the huge demon flag fluttering in front of the tent. But his gaze thoughtfully glanced at the man next to him wearing a white mask. The mask was completely white without any decorative lines, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, their gaze flickering.
"No." The man flatly denied. Then he pondered for a moment and said: "I have already raised the fog this morning. With my strength, it is impossible to continuously change the celestial phenomena in one day."
"Then, maybe it's just a coincidence?" The Demon Lord smiled lightly.
"Is it a coincidence" The man seemed to be thinking about something. Then he said: "A sudden change in the celestial phenomena is not a good omen. I think it is better to be more careful. You might as well"
"Okay, there is nothing to worry about. Such a large company, not to mention the fact that there are millions of my troops in the company. Even if the other party has any conspiracy, I am not afraid." The Demon Lord raised his head proudly. , rather disapproving of it. In his heart, Xiang Yu, Han Xin and others have become abandoned sons. Naturally, he does not care about the millions of demon troops under his command. No matter the conspiracy. Just wait until the time comes
However, the man next to the Demon Lord did not think so. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "It is already a taboo for our military to station troops here without going to reinforce. But now that the phenomenon has changed, we will not respond ¡¡±
"Zhang Liang." The Demon Lord's eyes flashed, and he called out the other party's name with a cold voice, "Don't forget. Cooperation between you and me is just a transaction. Whether it is this million-strong army, or Everything here belongs to me. I am the coach! Do you want to make my decision?"
Zhang Liang was slightly startled and took a deep look at the expressionless Demon Lord. After a moment, a smile appeared in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand, I just won't say anything."
"Humph!" The Demon Lord snorted and walked away. Zhang Liang was standing in the open space outside the tent. After pondering for a moment, he murmured: "Demon Lord? You are right, you and I are just using each other. But, don't you know the meaning of the demon star? All emperor stars will eventually fall in front of the demon star. Don't forget , you are the Demon Emperor now"
At the top of Hanyang City, I suddenly felt a gust of breeze blowing in my face, and the corners of Qin Yang's mouth, facing the southeast, curved slightly.
"Your Majesty, the direction of the wind has changed. All armies of our army are ready!" Zhao Yun climbed to the top of the city and came to Qin Yang's side.
"Well, Zilong, you and Guan Hai should go get ready too." Qin Yang nodded slightly.
"But Your Majesty, if we leave Hanyang City" Zhao Yun said hesitantly.
Qin Yang smiled slightly and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, this place is downwind. The guards staying here will only increase casualties. I am enough."
"Your Majesty"
"Stop talking, can't you change the direction of the wind on my behalf? What's more, even if there are enemies coming, you won't be able to deal with them."
By the time Zhao Yun and Guan Hai left with the personal guards who had been following Qin Yang, the entire Hanyang city was deserted. On the street, the autumn wind is blowing, and the fallen leaves are falling. In the faint place, the sound of "Woo-Woo" made by the wind passing through the cracks in the door continued to sound, just like a ghost town.
"One general has succeeded in killing ten thousand bones. In this battle, more than ten thousand bones were killed and injured" Qin Yang withdrew his gaze from the empty city, looked to the southeast, and whispered to himself: "The more serious the killing, the deeper he will fall into." Hell, then, I'll be thereHow much does it weigh? "
"The wind rises! Kill the devil!"
A long roar echoed continuously in the mountains south of Wulin. This sound was heard in the ears of the people who had already gathered here. It's more like the horn of death, more like the death knell of the demon army.
"Boom!" Huge wooden barriers collapsed one after another. Under these barriers, huge wooden dragons with weird shapes suddenly appeared densely in the mountains.
These wooden dragons are not like the golden dragons that symbolize the Han Empire in the Central Plains. It is an evil dragon with a dragon head, dragon horns, a long and slender neck, a round belly, and extremely thick lower limbs. Under the dragon's neck, there are two short and sharp claws, and above the back, there are two claws as thin as cicadas. Wings, but extremely huge wings, seem to spread their wings and take off into the sky. The thick dragon tail hovers beside the body. Although it is only made of wood, when viewed from a distance, it looks like a real giant dragon.
"The poisonous dragon spits mist!" Following the order, countless flags fiercely waved down. Under the control of everyone, these wooden dragons suddenly opened their bloody mouths, and balls of black mist like ink rolled out from the chest and abdomen of the wooden dragons.
Wherever the wooden dragon is, there is always a favorable wind, and the direction of the dragon's mouth is consistent with the current wind direction. Although there are many wooden dragons in the mountains, they are arranged in an orderly manner. After careful calculation and observation, the black mist spewed by the wooden dragons at the rear will not affect the crowd in front.
In an instant, it was as if a dark cloud suddenly rose up from the mountains, covering the sky and the earth. Rolling northbound. And this huge dark cloud completely crossed the mountain range. The wind dropped again, pushing the huge dark clouds toward the ground. It surged towards Wulin like a tide.
"Huh!" It wasn't until the dark clouds like a giant city flew away for several miles that Jia Xu, standing on the top of a mountain, let out a long breath. The Poison King Rat Xiaodu who seemed listless on his shoulder had a pair of bright green bean-like eyes shining with excitement at the moment.
"Although this mist is not as good as the breath of the ancient poisonous dragon, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can withstand What a crime, what a crime" Jia Xu sighed, looking at the poisonous mist going away.
"You, an old poisoner, have done so many evil things? Why do you always realize it only after the fact?" Suddenly, a very disinterested chuckle sounded, and it was Guo Jiashi who walked to Jia Xu's side.
For Jia Xu. Guo Jia couldn¡¯t understand it better. This guy is ruthless in his actions, but he always prides himself on being kind-hearted. In Xiangcheng, Jia Xu used poison and destroyed countless supplies of food and grass for the Yellow Turban Army. Then he helped Qin Yang refine poisonous gas from poisonous grains and poisoned the Imperial Guards of the Han Empire. And just recently, this guy poisoned and killed tens of thousands of demonic troops in Wuguan. As Guo Jia said, if it comes to committing sins, it is the sins committed by this old poisonous creature. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s really too much to mention.
Jia Xu looked pitiful and said: "What do you know? This is not a conscience discovery, it is just to make my heart a little more balanced. Those who make sharp blades are not bloodthirsty. They just want to kill to stop killing." Although I use poison, I only use it where it should be used. Alas, for the sake of the common people in the world. I really wronged those demonic armies."
"Go to hell!" Guo Jia said with a look of disdain, laughing and cursing. But in his heart. But he couldn't help feeling pity.
You know, this poisonous gas is drifting away. dead. But it's definitely not just the Demon Army. Even though he was downwind, Qin Yang personally blocked it. But there will never be any leakage. If this kind of poisonous gas is inhaled by ordinary people, they will probably die or become disabled. Even if a large amount accidentally falls into the river, the water of the Yangtze River may become undrinkable within a few months.
But, as Jia Xu said, kill to stop killing. If this method is not used, the demon army will be defeated in one fell swoop. I'm afraid that those who were poisoned will not be the only ones who die by then.
Qin Yang had quietly surveyed the direction of the mountains here a year ago. Qin Yang personally explained where to place the wooden dragon. Guo Jia led 300,000 people to build 8,000 wooden dragons day and night. In the belly of the wooden dragon, there is even more poisonous mist created by Jia Xu using the poison of the Poison King Rat. All of this is to deal with the demon army in Wulin. However, even though they were working on it day and night, they still did not have time to catch up with the large-scale attack of the demon army. So much so that the current poisonous mist can only kill the millions of demonic troops still in Wulin.
What makes Guo Jia and Jia Xu very strange is that Qin Yang seems to have expected all this. A year ago, today's war could be predicted, and it was so accurate. Even with the wisdom of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, such strange things are simply unimaginable.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, something bad is going on. This southeast wind is indeed Qin Yang's trick. Now seventy miles southeast of our army camp, a large thick fog is found rolling in. All our army scouts who smell the scent, All killed!" Zhang Liang, wearing a white mask, walked quickly into the tent., without any scruples about the displeasure on the Demon Lord's face, he said directly.
"Poisonous mist?" The Demon Lord was startled at first, but after a moment he relaxed and said, "Is this Qin Yang's plan?"
Seeing that the Demon Lord was indifferent, Zhang Liang couldn't help but frown. Suddenly an ominous premonition came to his heart, and he said in shock: "Your Excellency reacted like this, could it be that you want to"
"Hahaha" The Demon Lord laughed loudly, "Zhang Liang, you are wrong. This is not what I thought, but Qin Yang forced me to do this! Although I did not see the poisonous mist, this No matter how powerful the poisonous mist is, it can poison the living, but can it still poison the dead?!"
"No!" Zhang Liang shouted sternly, "The world is already separated. If you summon the undead demon army, you will definitely break the sealing barrier! In this way, this world"
"The world? What's wrong with the world?" The Demon Lord took some time off, glanced at Zhang Liang and said, "Are you worried that the world will turn into a hell of Shura and the human race will become extinct from now on?"
As he said that, the Demon Lord seemed to sigh intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "Although this violates my agreement with you, if I don't do this, I'm afraid I will be completely defeated. But how do you want me to choose? "
"You break the barrier. Aren't you afraid that the power of the Book of Heaven will return to the world and you will be sealed again?" Zhang Liangwu refused to give up.
"Of course I'm afraid!" The Demon Lord smiled slightly. There was no scruple on his face. Looking at Zhang Liang playfully, he said lightly: "It's just. Do you know how to"
"I" Zhang Liang was stunned by the Demon Lord's gaze. After a long while, he let out a long breath, like a deflated rubber ball. His voice softened and he said: "Please give me some time, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor" "
"Time? Can you stop this poisonous fog?"
Zhang Liang took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Although I can't stop the spread of the poisonous mist, I can stop the southeast wind. According to my analysis, this southeast wind must be driven by someone with the same power as me. Once this person is killed, the southeast wind will definitely stop. As long as the southeast wind changes, this poisonous mist will not affect the demon army camp"
"Then this person is" The Demon Lord smiled and analyzed along with Zhang Liang's words.
"This person is Qin Yang!" Zhang Liang said with certainty.
The Demon Lord nodded, leaned on the chair, and questioned again, "Even if you know that this person is Qin Yang, how do you find him?"
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Qin Yang, as the emperor of the Central Plains, will definitely not let this thick fog spread too widely. If he wants to stop the spread of this fog, he will definitely be downwind! And this Downwind. The best place is Hanyang!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" The Demon Lord actually clapped his hands, seeming to be praising Zhang Liang's analytical ability. Then, the Demon Lord smiled and said: "So. How long do you need? You know, with this southeast wind, the speed of the poisonous mist is extremely fast. Just now you said seventy miles. Now, I'm afraid there are only sixty miles left." It¡¯s in.¡±
"Half an hour!" Zhang Liang did not hesitate. Said directly.
"Half an hour? Then my demon army isn't"
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor! Of course I understand what you are thinking, but please believe it. Within half an hour, I will definitely offer Qin Yang's head to let this southeast wind dissipate! Moreover, as long as we take precautions, Within half an hour, this poisonous mist cannot cause too much damage to the demon army! Do you really not want me to kill Qin Yang?" As he spoke, Zhang Liang's eyes had already shot out a little cold light. An extremely dangerous aura was faintly revealed from his body wearing a long gown.
"Okay! I'll give you half an hour! Moreover, I don't care about the casualties of these soldiers! However, I also want to tell you that once half an hour is up, you have not retrieved Qin Yang's head. Then don't It's my fault." The Demon Lord smiled brightly and said conspiratorially.
"Then your Excellency, just wait and see!" Seeing the Demon Lord nodding, Zhang Liang did not hesitate, and as he spoke, his figure disappeared into the tent.
At the top of Hanyang City, Qin Yang was facing the wind, sitting under a flag of the Yellow Turban Army, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.
Suddenly, Qin Yang's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth also rose slightly. He slowly opened his eyes, looked in the direction of Wu Lin, and said calmly: "I didn't expect that the one who came to kill me was not the Demon Lord."
With a snow-white mask, a pair of eyes as deep as a deep pool, and a long gown fluttering in the wind, Zhang Liang's figure has appeared at the top of Hanyang City. Traveling from Wulin to Hanyang in such a short period of time is an incredible journey.
"The devil won't come, he wants you to do this." Business was dull, Zhang Liang looked directly at Qin Yang, "Qin Yang, this time you made a miscalculation."
"Oh? Did I make a mistake in my calculation?" Qin Yang smiled and held the flag.??Slowly stood up and patted the dust on his body. He looked at Zhang Liang as if he were an old friend.
"If you push the Demon Lord to a dead end, he will definitely summon the undead demon army to fight you. By then, will you be able to defeat him like you did in Yingshang?" Zhang Liang was not in a hurry to take action, and there was something in his voice. Without any murderous intent.
"You know, I am afraid that today's Demon Lord is no longer something you can easily match. What's more" Zhang Liang's eyes fell on Qin Yang's wrist, "Your bracelet that seals the king's energy has already been used for a long time. No more."
"You even know this?" Qin Yang pointed to his empty wrist with a smile, "It seems that you know a lot."
"Of course." Zhang Liang's eyes were a little sad, "I also know that the reason why you were able to transform into a demon and fight against the demon lord was not just because you had the Heavenly Book and Demonic Scroll, and that bracelet was absolutely not helpful to you. Small."
Speaking of this, Zhang Liang sighed and said: "It's a pity that the Demon Lord at that time has not recovered his strength. If you turn into a demon again now, I'm afraid you won't be his opponent."
"I said" Qin Yang smiled and interjected: "When I listen to your words, I always have an illusion. It seems that you are not on the side of the devil?"
"Siding with the Demon Lord? Haha" Zhang Liang chuckled, "Why should I stand with him? The Han Empire and your Ming Empire will definitely fall, and he will definitely die in my hands."
"Oh? So, we seem to be friends, not enemies." Qin Yang smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Haha, if you don't build a country and proclaim yourself emperor, maybe we can really be friends, but it's a pity" Zhang Liang smiled faintly, and a sharp killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Don't worry, you won't die in peace. I will I will ensure that your family is safe, and shortly after your death, I will take the Demon Lord¡¯s head to worship you" (To be continued)
