The demon world I designed.

Chapter 111 The Breaker!

Nanming Mansion:
Unlike Liuzhou, which is sparsely populated but has gradually stabilized people's hearts, the current capital of Jiangnan, with a population of about one million, is shrouded in dark clouds. The admiral suppressed it with iron and blood methods, and I am afraid that there has already been chaos.

At this time, in the hall of the government office, several generals under the admiral were studying the strategy of defending the city. At the side were Xuezheng Mu Hongqing and his apprentices.

In just five days of defensive battle, the most elite navy in the south of the Yangtze River lost more than half of the battle in the defense of Nanming Mansion, which is not unreasonable.

At this moment, everyone in the meeting looked gloomy, and the atmosphere was extremely stiff.

This is not to blame for the low morale of everyone, the situation is really too bleak!
A few days ago, because those living corpses were too contagious, in order to preserve their strength, they once shrunk their defenses, retreated to the city, and did not dare to go out to fight in the city, but unexpectedly discovered that as their efficiency in killing living corpses slowed down, The number of new living corpses coming up on the river decreased, and on the fourth day, according to Mu Hongqing's observation from high altitude, no new living corpses came ashore!

This made them think that the living corpses in the river had bottomed out and things had turned around!
So on the night before yesterday, after many discussions with everyone, Zhou Hanyang decided to take the initiative to attack at a cost, and arranged many strategies. He even directly cleared hundreds of thousands of living corpses outside the city under the strategy of losing one-third of the soldiers. .

But just when they were excited and thought that they had reached the turning point, that night, they encountered another wave of despair head-on!
That night, there was a steady stream of turbulent living corpses, the number of which exceeded 50 at least, which caught the exhausted soldiers off guard. If a few people hadn't reacted quickly and stood firm, Nanming might have fallen by now!
Now, although Nanming has been guarded, the number of soldiers under him is less than [-]!

"How's the situation outside?" Zhou Hanyang asked Mu Hongqing who had just returned, his voice hoarse.

"It's very strange. Although we repelled the group of living corpses this time, the remaining number is unprecedented. But for some unknown reason, no new living corpses appeared in the river." Mu Hongqing frowned and said: "I observed it all night, and I'm sure that there is no new one!"

"You said. Will anyone control those things?" Zhou Hanyang asked with red eyes.

Mu Hongqing sighed: "It's possible, but if this is the case, it's probably even worse."

Zhou Hanyang took a deep breath, and looked at another general: "How about the soldiers locked up?"

"Same," the lieutenant general shook his head: "As long as you are injured, even if your skin is scratched a little, you will be infected, and the soldiers who are locked up are hopeless!"

boom! !

The angry Li Qing smashed the conference table to pieces, and immediately scared the chief envoy to fall to the ground.

But Mu Hongqing frowned: "General, the safety of millions of people in Nanming Mansion now depends on you alone, you can't be calm!"

"What do you need to hold your breath?" Zhou Hanyang panted heavily: "Now Nanming Mansion is in chaos, and I have to divide my troops to suppress those ignorant people. The city gate can be guarded by no more than [-] troops. If there is another one like yesterday's scale, What are you holding?"

Mu Hongqing sighed. He really wanted to refute that the people are in chaos now. The admiral's method was too simple and rude in order to quickly prevent the spread of the infection in the city. However, everyone who was injured, regardless of men, women, old or young, was hacked to death. Burning, how can those people bear it?

If the means can be more gentle and rational, the chaos in the city will not be as it is today.

But now is not the time to discuss gains and losses. If the morale of this situation is gone, it will be really hopeless!
"The lower officials feel that the attack on the city on the scale yesterday should never happen again."

"Oh?" Zhou Hanyang and the others suddenly raised their heads when they heard the words: "Why?"

"From the pattern of the past few days, it can be found that the faster we clear the payment, the more living corpses will appear in the river. Once we slow down, the number of living corpses will decrease, and the living corpses that attacked the city once Basically, they will not attack the second time, and they will choose to scatter in the countryside.”

Mu Hongqing took a deep breath: "In fact, according to the general's strategy at the beginning, we can hold on to the wall and clear the field for more time."

Zhou Hanyang frowned when he heard the words, and thought for a while that it seemed to be the case, but he said: "Even so, you can't stay like this forever. Who can say clearly what is hidden in the mist in the river? Now The right way is to contact the imperial court and ask for reinforcements, Lord Mu, after observing for several days, can you find out how to get out of the fog?"

Mu Hongqing shook his head when he heard the words; "The mist is extremely strange, and the illusion in the fog is extremely realistic. If this is a magic circle, it is really amazing."

"Okay, okay, I don't listen to this!" Zhou Hanyang waved his hand: "Just say it, is there any way?"

"Have!"

"Oh?" Zhou Hanyang's face changed suddenly, and he grinned: "I just said, Mr. Mu is a great talent, and he must have a way!"

The face-changing speed was so fast that the surrounding lieutenants couldn't help covering their faces, but they were obviously used to the face of their boss and didn't say anything.

Mu Hongqing was too lazy to care about it, so he took out a mechanical wooden bird and said: "I found that this fog restricts living things from leaving the country, but dead things do not. I use this wooden bird to try to contact Qizhou, which is the nearest to us. In half a day, the officials there actually gave a reply!"

"Oh? Why don't you tell me about this earlier!" Zhou Hanyang suddenly became excited: "How is the situation over there?"

"It's relatively good. There are living corpses flowing past, which caused a lot of chaos, but the scale is far less than ours. In addition, the prefect of Qizhou is a seasoned and practical official. He quickly reacted and cooperated with the local general Soldiers, fortified the wall and cleared the field, it can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the situation."

"Okay, okay!" Zhou Hanyang rubbed his hands: "This is good, this is good!"

He is most afraid of the situation where the whole of Jiangnan is Nanming Mansion. After all, other state capitals do not have Nanming's tall city and elite defenders. No matter how unavoidable, I'm afraid I can't absolve myself of the blame!

"Then since the wooden bird can be released, sir, hurry up and ask the court for help!"

Others also opened their mouths to urge after hearing the words.

Mu Hongqing sighed and said, "First of all, I'm not from the Ministry of Industry. To be honest, I'm not good at tricks. The wooden bird I made can fly only a limited distance. I can only see if I can send messages to the outside from the shortest distance. , and then there is another question."

"What's the problem?" Zhou Hanyang frowned: "The current situation, of course, is that a living horse is a dead horse doctor, so how can you care so much? The blockade of the south of the Yangtze River is such a big matter, the court will definitely take action, as long as your wooden bird can fly Out of the fog range, I believe the imperial court will definitely respond."

"What worries me is that it may not be the imperial court who will reply to our letter."

"Ah?" Zhou Hanyang was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"It's okay if the fog is just a formation, but if there are other things." Mu Hong said quietly: "Master Admiral may be able to tell whether it is the imperial court or something else that replied to us?"

Everyone: "."
-
"Report!!"

Outside the mist, the imperial army that had blocked Jiangnan for six days has been in a stalemate. Several great warlocks have been calculating day and night, but they still cannot analyze the laws in the mist. Qin Guogong and others are still stable, but many generals under their hands are impatient. Incomparable, one after another asked to go to the south of the Yangtze River for support.

Qin Guogong would never allow his subordinates to request, but it was not an option to persist in such a stalemate. Just when he was thinking about using some radical means, good news came suddenly.

A wooden bird appeared in the blocked area along the Huaishui River in the south of the Yangtze River. The general in charge there sent soldiers to send it over immediately after reading the contents of the letter.

"It's a letter from Mu Hongqing!"

The one who received the letter was Shen Yinian, the Minister of the Ministry of War for temporary support. Looking at the familiar handwriting and the unique magic lock of Yin Yang Academy, Shen Yinian suddenly frowned: "Your Majesty's vision is like a torch, and Mu Hongqing is indeed worthy of a great responsibility. Such a fog I waited for several people to be overwhelmed, but he was the first to discover the conjecture that this magic circle can't help living things, it's really amazing!"

As soon as the words came out, the great magicians nodded one after another, but the generals on Qin Guogong's side had strange expressions. After all, everyone knew that Mu Hongqing was the son of Qin Guogong who was kicked out of his family!
"That child has been clever since he was a child." Qin Guogong didn't care, and nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty does have a good eye."

"Ask for help from the Ministry of Industry immediately, and build a batch of temporary messenger wooden birds to obtain information!" Shen Yinian hurriedly ordered.

"Yes!"

"Wait..." Suddenly, Duke Qin stopped him.

"Does your lord have something to say?" Shen Yinian asked curiously.

After finally having a communication channel, he was very anxious to know what was going on with the Shen family.

"Are you sure that this letter was sent by Mu Hongqing?"

"Eh?" The others were taken aback for a moment, but Shen Yinian was the first to react: "Your Majesty thinks it's fake?"

"Not sure." Qin Guogong shook his head: "But it is possible. Handwriting and spells can be imitated. There must be other things in the fog. No one can tell whether he will intercept our letters. If the information is wrong , then this is not a call for help, but a trap!"

"Your Excellency should be more careful!" Shen Yinian nodded, this is indeed a possibility.
"But... you can't just stop doing it because of this, right?" The other generals were also anxious, and finally found some way to save them from wasting so much, but now they can't do it?
"That's not true. There is a person who can help now." Qin Guogong said with a smile: "If this fog is only aimed at living things, that person is the most suitable for the current situation. Of course, the premise is that His Majesty is willing to let him out of Beijing!"

"Oh?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, but Shen Yinian was the first to realize: "My lord refers to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Lord Wang Ye?"
