Chapter 294: The Imperial Guard Is Injured
The Imperial Advisor was floating in the air at this time and saw that his soldiers were surrounded and ambushed all around. His soldiers were being slaughtered every moment. He was so angry that his eyes burst out with anger, but now he felt powerless again. This kind of quicksand trap is definitely not a small magic circle. It is completely impossible to destroy this kind of magic circle with his own strength. Now the national master finally knows what it means to be powerless.
The next trouble was that he was floating in the air, making him a target of public criticism. At this time, the gryphon knights and flying dragon troops flying in the air directly saw him, so they aimed their attacks at him, so the bows and arrows and flying dragons Missiles came at him one after another.
The attack came, causing the national master to wake up from his anger. At this time, he had lost the cover of the zombie army. He could be alone now. If he didn't escape immediately, he would probably die here. So the Imperial Master quickly activated his magic protection to prevent himself from being corroded by the acid, and activated his magic to escape deep into the desert.
At this time, Commander Xiao was rescued from the tank. Although Commander Xiao's tank was overturned, the tank barrel was damaged, and it was no longer possible to fire in the short term, after all, Commander Xiao's tank was not at the center of the explosion, and his tank was a new type of tank. Made of steel, tanks are the king of land battles and cannot be damaged by ordinary explosions. Therefore, although Commander Xiao's tank was overturned, he was not seriously injured inside the tank. He only hit his head on the wall of the tank. , except for a big bag, there was no other damage.
"How is the battle going?" Commander Xiao rubbed the big bag that was knocked out and asked the orderly beside him.
"Report to the commander, most of the zombie army has fallen into the quicksand trap, and there are still a few zombies who are still fighting with us. Commander Wang Jingrong and Commander Xing Ling are encircling the zombies from other aspects. It is expected that it will not take long. The cleanup can be completed!" the orderly reported.
"Okay, very good. We've also informed our troops to attack across the board and eliminate all the zombies in front of us. Don't let any of them go!" Commander Xiao said with a smile.
"Yes!" the orderly replied with a particularly loud voice.
Soon, hundreds of tanks were dispatched together, aggressively attacking the zombies in the front. There were less than 100,000 zombies in the front. Under intensive artillery fire, in less than two hours, these zombies who were still aggressive in the morning were all wiped out. Annihilated.
When the sun turned west, the entire battlefield returned to calm. The desert that was originally full of zombies was now only a vast expanse of yellow sand. Occasionally, you could see the heads of buried zombies. Most of the zombies were buried under the sand. .
Xing Ling, Wang Jingrong, Commander Xiao and several other military commanders were gathered in the command room.
"I asked Wang Jingrong, how did you kill those planes? When I saw so many enemy planes, I was afraid that your planes couldn't withstand them." Commander Xiao asked Wang Jingrong.
"Haha, I played a little conspiracy. At that time, our plane was flying at an altitude of less than one thousand meters. The enemy planes that were chasing us were also chasing us at a distance of more than one thousand meters. I was at the ambush site in advance. There was a gryphon cavalry hidden in the clouds at an altitude of 100 meters. When our plane flew over, we threw a lot of stones and sand down from the sky. These things directly entered the enemy plane's aircraft engine. Their engines were very dangerous. These things, the engines stalled one after another. As for those ghosts, they can be easily attacked with fire magic arrows, and those ghosts can't run as fast as our griffons, so none of those ghosts ran away." Wang Jingrong laughed. said.
"Haha, Jing Rong still has more bad ideas. Who would have thought of raining stones on the plane? You are the only one who can do this." Xing Ling laughed loudly.
"Why did Wang Jingrong think of using stone rain to destroy the plane?" Commander Xiao asked curiously.
"Actually, before the end of the world, I was a special forces soldier. During a mission, the plane took off. For some reason, a stone flew into the engine of the plane. Fortunately, the plane had just taken off, so the plane made an emergency landing without much impact. , if this happens in the air, it will destroy the plane and kill everyone. So I thought of using stones to break the plane." Wang Jingrong said.
"Haha, you are still brave. I saw more than a hundred planes of zombies at that time. I thought our air force was finished."
"Fortunately, Captain Lu is not here, otherwise he would definitely refute you!" Xing Ling interjected from the side.
"Oh, by the way, Commander Wang Jingrong, how much have we gained this time?" Commander Xiao asked.
"This time we buried about eight to nine million zombies alive. Outside the trap circle, we eliminated seven to eight million zombies. Some of the zombies escaped into the depths of the desert. It is not convenient for us to chase them now. After all, the weather in the desert has changed. Impermanence, after we detect the specific location of the zombies, we will encircle and suppress them." Wang Jingrong said.
"It seems that the harvest is not small, then our next step can be to advance further west. The next target is Turpan, so one division of troops is left here for follow-up work, and the other troops will head west tomorrow morning." Commander Xiao issued the task road.
"Commander Xiao, don't our troops make some corrections?" Xing Ling asked with some doubts.
"Oh, I want to repair it, but Commander-in-Chief Li is still in Urumqi. He is now in deep danger. If he is not careful, he may be discovered by the enemy. So if we arrive in Urumqi as soon as possible, we can get him earlier. Rescue him, otherwise I won’t feel at ease!”
When Li Yuanhong was mentioned, everyone present looked solemn. The reason why they had such a great victory this time was closely related to Li Yuanhong's planning and information. No one knew how Li Yuanhong hid deep in the enemy camp. , how did they obtain the enemy's intelligence, and how did these comrades who lived and died with Li Yuanhong not be impatient.
After a brief night of repairs, the human army set off again early the next morning to attack Turpan. When passing through Shanshan, the county was easily taken. Because the national army sent troops at that time, almost all the defenders were taken away. , leaving only a small number of logistics troops. These troops with no combat effectiveness were completely annihilated under the attack of human tanks before they even had time to send out a message.
As the human forces advanced westward, Emperor Chen received a guest in his palace.
"Your Majesty, there is a stranger asking to see you!" the guard reported to Emperor Chen who was having a meal.
"Stranger? Let everyone in and ask to see me, so I don't have to do anything else for the day!" Emperor Chen said with an angry look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the visitor said that he was sent by the National Preceptor!" the guard said.
"National Preceptor? Isn't the Imperial Preceptor fighting on the front line? If anything happens, the Imperial Preceptor should send me a message? It can't be some assassin pretending to be!" Ever since he became the emperor, Emperor Chen has become very suspicious and always Imagine someone assassinating him.
"No...no, he brought a token and said that if you see this token, you can believe that he was sent by the Imperial Master."
"Okay, bring me the token!" Emperor Chen put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped his mouth with a white handkerchief.
Soon the guard handed a jade plaque with a skull engraved on it to Emperor Chen. When Emperor Chen saw it, he was stunned. This jade plaque was the personal belongings of the Imperial Preceptor. Once, the Imperial Preceptor once said that Xiao Ruo himself If there is something that cannot be done in person, this jade plaque will be used as a token.
"Quick, take me to meet the messenger!" Emperor Chen did not dare to sit anymore at this time, stood up and took him out personally.
When they arrived at the door, they saw a man wrapped in a black cloak with a mask on his face. Only his burning eyes could tell that he was a skeleton undead.
"My lord, the messenger has arrived. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting here for so long!" Emperor Chen bowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite. I have something important to tell you. I need to find a secret room so no one else knows." The messenger said very cautiously.
"Yes, yes! The messenger is coming with me!" So Emperor Chen personally led the way, introduced the messenger into the room, and then asked the people on both sides to retreat.
"Messenger, what on earth do you want to say to me alone?" Emperor Chen was very puzzled. In the past, when the Imperial Master came, he always made a great impression, for fear that others would not know, so how could he still be afraid that others would know today.
When the messenger saw that Emperor Chen and he were the only two people left in the room, he opened his mouth and said: "Shanshan has been lost, and the imperial master is seriously injured!"
"What? Shanshan was lost and the Imperial Guard was injured?" Emperor Chen was shocked when he heard the news and almost shouted out what he just said.
"Shh!" The messenger made a silent gesture.
"Yes!" Emperor Chen nodded quickly to indicate that he understood.
"The National Adviser doesn't want people to know the news now. As long as the National Adviser recovers a little in the past two days, everything will recover. Your Majesty, please rest assured. The only problem now is that human troops may arrive soon. If the National Adviser wants to come from India, It won't take long to mobilize the troops again, so you need to stop the attack of the human army first. Now the total number of zombies in and outside the city should be three to four million zombies. You can completely stop the human army for half a month. Reinforcements will arrive by then," the messenger said.
"Okay...Okay!" Although Emperor Chen agreed, he didn't think so in his heart. Not even the 10 million zombie army led by the National Preceptor could stop him. The zombies he had at hand, which were not fully equipped, could not resist the human attack. It seemed that he needed to prepare to retreat.
"Then I will reply to the Imperial Master first, so you don't need to send anyone to see him off." After saying that, the messenger hurriedly left the palace.
Seeing that the messenger had left, Emperor Chen quickly ordered someone to find Chen Shaokun. He wanted to arrange an escape plan. Of course, this matter must be kept strictly confidential, so he could only go to Chen Shaokun to handle it.
Emperor Chen's palace began to get busy. There is no need to go into details, let's just talk about the messenger.
The messenger left the palace and immediately hid his figure in the darkness. Then he observed and found that no one was following him, and then quietly walked to the edge of the city. After twists and turns, the messenger came to a dilapidated temple. Then he carefully checked around and saw that no one had entered the temple.
Entering the temple, the man in black did not enter the apse directly, but entered a side room, and then pressed a pattern on the wall in an inconspicuous place. As a result, a downward passage appeared on the ground, and the messenger stepped in. .
As soon as they entered the underground, an eerie and low voice came from inside: "Is it Xiaogu?"
"It's me, Master Mage!" The messenger immediately stopped and replied respectfully.
"Well, how did the thing I asked you to do go?" The voice sounded again.
"I have notified the emperor, but Master Mage, why don't you go to the emperor to recuperate? Hiding here is not conducive to the healing of your wounds." The attendant asked.
"Do you think it's safe for me to go to a human to recover from my injuries in this state?"
