Practice starts from a small soldier

Chapter 40 Victory in the first battle, thanks to Zhang Qi
In the south of the valley, the sound of fighting in the sky gradually stopped.

"Win!"

"Our army is victorious!"

"In this battle, seven of our troops were killed, the enemy retreated, and three thousand were killed or injured!"

The news spread, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

Not long after, more specific battle reports came out.

The enemy army has three corpse generals, led tens of thousands of corpse soldiers and hundreds of giant ice wolves, and launched a strong attack on the valley passage in the south.

As for the defense of the valley passage, there are only a few hundred people led by Zhao Que, including more than [-] dog warriors from the Huiyan tribe.The ratio of the strength of the enemy and ourselves is as high as two hundred to one.

With such a disparity in military strength, if it was on the plains, Zhao Que's side had no chance of winning, and the only thing they could do was to run away.

Not running, naturally because there is a chance of winning.

There is a saying in the soldier sage: A place of natural danger can reach a thousand troops.

This impenetrable valley is Zhao Que's greatest support.

The valley is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and the only passage is not only extremely narrow, but also built a stone wall.As long as Zhao Que's side can't stand firm, the enemy's military superiority will never be brought into play.

When the enemy attacked, Zhao Que ordered his men to guard the passage.

In this long and narrow valley passage, the attackers poured in at most a few hundred corpse soldiers at a time, and the defenders waited for work at leisure, killing as many as they came.Especially Chun Yuxin's second Shi, which brought the combat effectiveness of the archers to the extreme.

Those corpse soldiers who were too crowded to move were simply the best targets.

After sending several waves of heads in a row.

The three corpse generals commanding in the rear suddenly couldn't sit still. One of the corpse generals in black armor personally led hundreds of elite corpse soldiers and rushed into the passage.

Zhao Que, who had never made a move, was waiting for this moment.

He sneaked to the side of the black armored corpse general, and took advantage of his unpreparedness, cut off one arm of the black armored corpse general with a sword, severely wounding him.

The black armored corpse will be defeated, turn around and run away.

Zhao Que led his men in pursuit, and successfully beheaded the black-armored general before the other two generals came to rescue him.

The black armored corpse will die.

Those corpse soldiers on the battlefield, without a leader, fell into great chaos.

Zhao Que took advantage of the chaos and launched a fierce attack.

After the other two corpse generals regrouped and regained control of all the corpse soldiers on the battlefield, Zhao Que had already led his troops back into the valley, huddled up, and continued to guard the passage...

This is a typical tortoise style of play.

Usually don't show up, once you show up, you have to bite the enemy.

The two corpse generals also knew that if they continued to attack, they just buried their subordinates in vain, so they gave up the attack, but they did not retreat.

……

in the valley.

Inside a newly built wooden house.

Zhang Qi, who was sent by Wang Changxin, met General Zhao Que.

From the outside, Zhao Que looked normal, but Zhang Qi could faintly sense that there seemed to be something wrong with Zhao Que's aura.

After reporting the military situation, Zhang Qi tentatively asked: "General, are you injured?"

"A little injury..."

Halfway through the speech, a trace of blackness appeared on Zhao Que's face, but he was quickly suppressed by him.

Although he killed the black-armored corpse general, he also suffered backlash.

Right now, in his body, there is an extremely vicious black corpse aura, which is constantly eroding his body, and it is barely suppressed by strong true energy.

This also means that he can no longer make a move until the corpse poison in his body is resolved.

"Go back and tell Wang Changxin that you will need to retreat for about three days. During these three days, no matter what, you Jiu Shi must hold the position on the hilltop to the east."

Zhao Que stared at Zhang Qi, "Can it be done?"

Zhang Qi clasped his fists and said, "People are in position."

"it is good."

Zhao Que waved his hand and said, "Back off."

After arranging everything, Zhao Que quickly wrote a letter, and then took out a mechanism bird that he carried with him.

The organ bird, invented by a Mohist disciple, can fly thousands of miles.

A small organ bird that can be used to deliver letters.

The big mechanism bird can even carry people and goods, which is extremely miraculous.

It's just that the Mohist disciple is not keen on money, and the number of mechanism birds he made is not many, and even fewer mechanism birds have been circulated on the market, each of which is worth thousands of gold.

The organ bird on Zhao Que's body does not belong to him, but was assigned to him temporarily by the superior.

He can only use it when passing important information.

Hiding the written letter in the organ bird's belly, Zhao Que activated the switch. The fist-sized organ bird in his hand immediately flapped its wings and flew high, turning into a small black dot and disappearing into the sky.

"I hope it's still in time."

After Zhao Que sighed softly, he returned to the wooden house and began retreating to heal his wounds.

That night.

The enemy army outside launched another round of attack on the valley passage, but was quickly repelled, leaving only hundreds of bones, and then withdrew in desperation.

Unless the two corpse generals take action in person, this valley passage is almost impossible to capture.

The question is, do they dare?

The black-armored corpse general who died during the day was a bloody lesson from the past.

late at night.

Zhang Qi stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the vast expanse of snow outside the valley.

With the help of the bright moonlight, one could see those corpse soldiers were standing quietly in the snow, motionless, just like ice sculptures.

In the first half of the night, these corpse soldiers occasionally moved around.

In the middle of the night, all were motionless.

As for the four-armed corpse general, he was nowhere to be seen, and he didn't know where he went.

According to the known information so far, there are three corpse generals leading this army, one wearing black armor, one with four arms, and one headless horseman.

Among them, the black-armored corpse general had been beheaded by Zhao Que.

The remaining two corpse generals, the four-armed corpse general and the headless horseman, one led the troops to retreat to the east of the valley, and the other led the troops to retreat to the west of the valley.

The north side is occupied by a large pack of giant ice wolves.

On the contrary, on the south side where the valley passage is located, the gate is open and unguarded.

Surrounded by three ques and one.

Unexpectedly, a group of dead people will also play tricks.

pity.

The opponent is wasting their efforts.

This group of people in the valley will never leave the valley unless they run out of ammunition and food.

"It seems that there will be no war tonight."

Zhang Qi withdrew his gaze, and took out a small piece of wire grass from his arms.

He only ate a small part of the 50-year-old iron wire plant last time, and kept the rest on his body.It wasn't until a few days ago that he borrowed a sharp enough dagger from Zhao Que to chop the remaining half of the wire grass into six sections.

Taking advantage of his free time, Zhang Qi decided to quickly improve his strength.After eating the iron thread grass in his hand, he silently performed the gold-eating kung fu.

He immediately felt something strange.

The qi and blood in his body rushed rapidly, much more violently than before, his muscles and bones trembled, and the qi and blood that was as majestic as a river washed his whole body, making his physical strength continuously increase...

Zhang Qi ate all the iron thread grass on his body.

When everything calmed down, he opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of extremely hot air, and the heat emitted from his body even melted the snow within a radius of ten meters.

【Shou Yuan: 53】

[Vigor and blood: 6.9]

【Root bone: 1.4】

【Prime Spirit: 2.0】

[Martial Arts: Five Tiger Spears (100%), Basic Arrow Technique (100%), Gold-eating Skill (29%), Lianzhu Arrow Technique (71%), Overlord Spear Six Styles (0%), Flying Step (0%) %)]

The proficiency of Shi Jin Gong rose from 26% to 29%, and his longevity increased by another year.

Vitality increased sharply from 6.5 to 6.9.

The 50-year-old Iron Thread Grass has strong medicinal effects, but it can make such great progress thanks to its root bone being greatly improved.

The better the root bone, the higher the efficiency of practice.

On the one hand, the speed of practicing martial arts is faster, on the other hand, in the process of practicing, the efficiency of energy absorption and utilization has also been greatly improved.

For the same amount of energy, a person with a low root can only absorb 20%, while a person with a high root can absorb 80% or more.

"A strong root is really strong."

Zhang Qi finally saw the great benefits brought about by root bone promotion, and couldn't help feeling a little grateful for the group of corpse soldiers outside the valley.

thank you.

Dead ghosts.
