Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Chapter 242 The poison of plague!

On the day Zhang He took command, the Night King sent him 200,000 troops, plus the existing 200,000 troops in Zhonglu Mansion, for a total of 400,000 to resist the Qin army.

Zhang He led a mighty army of 200,000 people to the north. On the way, his lieutenant came over on horseback and whispered beside Zhang He.

"General, the Qin army is unparalleled in combat power. I wonder if the general has any strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Zhang He slowly shook his head. If there was any strategy that could defeat the Qin army, all the officials in the court would have thought of it long ago. How could it be his turn to become a warrior?

"For today's plan, we can only hold on to the city and defend it. If the Qin army cannot attack for a long time, it will naturally withdraw."

The deputy general didn't understand what Zhang He's words meant and asked in confusion.

"General, the morale of the Qin army is high and there is sufficient food and grass. How can they withdraw?"

Zhang He smiled slightly, looking like he was strategizing and winning a victory thousands of miles away.

"Don't forget, there is also Liang State to the west of Qin State. Liang State is now a country of evil spirits. Compared to us, evil spirits are the biggest enemy of Qin State."

The deputy general is also a veteran in the army. After Zhang He finished speaking, he immediately figured out the key points.

"The general is wise. The Qin army is indeed a paper tiger. The walls of the city in the middle road are high and thick. As long as we withstand the Qin army's offensive, the crisis will be solved."

Zhang He dared to take orders in the face of danger, so he naturally had two brushes.

He was right about this. The Qin army did not have any extra time to spend in the Night Kingdom.

The fifth legion needs to be in the center. Once the four legions in Huangzhou and Yanzhou suffer excessive battle losses, the fifth and sixth legions need to switch defenses at any time.

The Yanzhou Navy also has to defend the coastline and cannot leave for too long.

Zhang He led the army to rush all the way, rushing for reinforcements at starry night, and finally arrived at Zhonglu Mansion three days later

At this time, most of the Zhonglu Mansion has been lost, and only the city is still under the control of the night army.

When the Fucheng garrison saw the reinforcements sent from Yedu, his eyes filled with tears on the spot, and he couldn't stop the tears from flowing down.

Those who have never faced the Qin Army have no idea how powerful the Qin Army is.

That terrifying God-killing crossbow can penetrate most of the military formation with one arrow. If the crossbow arrows were not complicated and expensive to make and could not be used without restrictions, I am afraid that Fucheng would have fallen long ago.

So far, only the Divine Cannon has been fired, and the natural disaster cannon in the center of the Qin Army has not fired a single shot. This can't help but cast a layer of gloom over the hearts of the generals guarding the city.

The guard looked excited and said to the soldier next to him.

"Go down with the order and open the south gate immediately to welcome the reinforcements into the city!"

"Order!"

After the soldier saluted, he quickly ran down the tower

squeak~

The gate of Fucheng on the middle road was slowly pushed open, and Zhang He led the army to enter the city.

Seeing the exhausted soldiers all over the city, Zhang He felt that this war was not as simple as he imagined.

Ji Cang, the guard of the city, walked down from the city tower with a few men and met Zhang He.

"General Zhang, you have come at the right time. The Qin army is resting in the distance and is expected to launch an attack tomorrow. Let's discuss how to deal with it."

Zhang He nodded, knowing that now was not the time for small talk, he led his lieutenant and followed Ji Cang to the general's mansion in the city.

At this time, in the headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps, Ning Wu frowned and looked at Gu Yan.

"Master Gu, is this move too underhanded? Sooner or later, Zhonglu Mansion will belong to us, and sooner or later these people will be my subjects of Great Qin. If we do this, will it..."

Gu Yan shook his head gently and said calmly

"General Ning, as long as we break Yedu and capture the entire Ye Kingdom, the people of Zhonglu Mansion are our subjects of Great Qin. Now they are still our enemies. These people are soldiers when they pick up their swords.

We won the first two provinces with blitzkrieg. Now Zhang He has entered the city with an army of 200,000. Although we can win by attacking by force, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary losses, so there is no need to worry about whether this move is harmful or not."

Regarding this war, Gu Yan didn't care much about the life and death of the people in the Night Kingdom.

It's not that he is cold-blooded. On the contrary, Gu Yan is not very murderous, at least not as much as Lin Wu.

It's just that Gu Yan knows very clearly that the enemy is the enemy and his own people are his own people. It doesn't matter if he can let his own people walk off the battlefield alive, no matter how bad or cruel he does.

Ning Wu is not an indecisive person. He just cares about the people in the city's opinion of Da Qin and considers the situation when Da Qin takes over this place in the future.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to your company."

Gu Yan nodded, turned around and walked out of the handsome tent.

……

After nightfall, the Demon Slayer Division's Sea Viewing Realm and Soul Yangshen Realm all mobilized, each carrying a corpse exuding a foul smell in their hands, and disappeared into the night.

The weakest among this group of people are all in the state of spiritual nourishment, so after concealing their aura, they were not noticed.

After quietly approaching Fucheng, he used all his strength to throw the corpse in his hand into the sky above Fucheng, and then quickly evacuated to the military camp behind.

Gu Yan, who was standing behind, exuded a mysterious aura from his hand. He clapped it down with one hand, and a huge palm print appeared in the sky above Fucheng.

Xuanzhen's palm fell from the sky, like the sky falling, smashing the stinking corpses in the air to pieces

"How brave!"

A loud shout came from the palace, and a blazing sword light came from the guarding general's palace, breaking through the falling Xuanzhen palm.

A sneer rose from the corner of Gu Yan's lips in the distance, and then turned into a stream of light and returned to the military camp.

Zhang He and Ji Cang, who were discussing matters in the general's residence, looked at the white-haired old man who appeared in the courtyard with puzzled expressions.

"Senior Jing, what happened?"

Jinghong nodded lightly

"Just now, a strong man in the Qin army attacked the city, and I forced him back. Judging from his aura, it should be that he has entered the fifth realm for the first time, and there is no serious problem."

Jinghong is one of the few strong men in the Four Realms in the Night Kingdom. Although he is old, he has been practicing in the deep palace all year round to protect the safety of the Night King.

Now that the situation is critical, the Night King sent him out to follow the army north to resist the enemy.

After hearing what Jinghong said, Zhang He and Ji Cang felt relieved and continued to discuss the matter of defending the city.

The three words "Demon Slayer Division" are as heavy as a mountain on the hearts of the people of the Ye Kingdom. If it weren't for the demons and evils to restrain them, the Demon Slayer Division alone would be able to defeat the Ye Kingdom.

Now that the path forward for martial arts is cut off, Shen Tongxuan is like a peak with no visible top, standing in front of all the martial arts experts.

The soldiers of the Night Kingdom in the city wiped the liquid dripping on their faces, raised their heads and looked at the pieces of meat falling from the sky in confusion, and some unknown liquid.

"It stinks! What the hell did Qin Jun do?"

"Ugh! Damn Qin Jun, if you want to fight, just fight in an upright manner, engage in such disgusting methods."

"..."

Amidst the curses of the soldiers, the sky turned white in the east, and the sky gradually became brighter.

Zhang He and Ji Cang came to the city wall with solemn expressions. Looking at the quiet Qin army camp at the end of their sight, Zhang He said doubtfully.

"What is the Qin army doing? Is it because the war went smoothly and the Qin army became slack?"

Ji Cang, who had dealt with the Qin Army, knew that the Qin Army would not make such a low-level mistake, and he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, a soldier quickly ran up the city wall and said with a frightened expression.

"General! In the city... many soldiers and people in the city... are... all..."

Ji Cang frowned and shouted sharply

"How's everything going? Tell me!"

The soldier looked pale and said tremblingly.

"They were all covered in ulcers and died!"
