The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 19 Mountain Road War
The army of King Liang set up camp here. Countless tents stretched out at the foot of the mountain for more than ten miles, with tens of thousands of horses and even more soldiers.

Patrolling soldiers patrolled the surroundings, and during this period, scouts constantly left the base camp and went into the mountains to explore the way.

It was noon, and pots were being buried in the camp to make rice.

At this time, a general wearing red armor walked out of the camp. He stood outside the camp and looked at the vast mountains in the distance with his brows furrowed. He didn't know what he was thinking.

The adjutant hurried to his side, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "General Zhao, why don't you eat first?"

"Hmph, you can eat whatever you want. We sent out several waves of scouts, but none of them came back. You still have the energy to eat!"

As the commander-in-chief this time, Zhao Chu was ordered to lead tens of thousands of troops to capture Yanzhou Prefecture and then intercept King Wu's army in the north. This was a heavy responsibility.

But what he never expected was that he only camped at the foot of the mountain for half a day to rest, but the scouts he sent out seemed to be sinking into the stagnant water, unable to even send out a signal.

Is it possible that the mountain road ahead is still full of cannibals?

This forced him to take longer to recuperate, but it was not an option if he continued like this. He delayed King Wu's army for half a day and captured Yanzhou Prefecture half a day earlier.

Everyone on both sides knows that Yanzhou Prefecture is just a big piece of fat sandwiched between them. Whoever can take Yanzhou first will be able to dominate the other side in future battles.

Otherwise, King Liang would not have sent tens of thousands of horses here.

Seeing that several waves of scouts were like meat buns beating dogs, Zhao Chu simply didn’t wait any longer, grabbed the adjutant’s collar and said: “Inform the three armies to enter the mountain after lunch. The soldiers will be the vanguard with swords and shields, the archers will be in the middle, and the cavalry will be here. Camp, I don’t believe I can’t break through this mountain!”

As long as you pass through here, you are only a hundred miles away from Yanzhou Prefecture, and the cavalry can take Yanzhou in just over a day.

In comparison, they were closer to Yanzhou Mansion than King Wu's army, so Zhao Chu had no reason to fail.

The adjutant quickly passed on his orders.

After lunch, the troops broke out of camp.

Four infantrymen holding shields, swords and axes walked into the vast mountains as pioneers.

From a distance, they looked like a long dragon stretching across the mountains, slowly moving forward along the mountain road.

As a general, Zhao Chu did not sit at the rear like the cavalry, but walked at the front of the infantry holding a halberd.

As a general, he has always taken the lead.

No matter whether the scouts were ambushed in the mountains by humans or ghosts, Zhao Chu was not afraid.

He joined the army when he was young, and he fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If there were ghosts, he would have died countless times.

After walking along the mountain road for three miles, a bloody corpse suddenly appeared on the treetops on the roadside.

Judging from the messy robe of the corpse, he must be a scout in Zhao Chu's army.

But at this time, the scout had been disemboweled, the skinny skin was empty, and the internal organs had disappeared without a trace.

A golden-haired ape was squatting next to the scout's body, still holding half of the uneaten heart and liver in its hand, its mouth was full of bright red blood, and there were still dark red pieces of meat left in the gaps between its white teeth.

Whoosh!
Zhao Chu stuck the halberd on the ground, took off the hard bow from his back, bent it and fired an arrow.

The little ape dropped the arrow from the treetop with an arrow in his eyebrow.

Zhao Chu strode forward and smashed the ape to pieces with a halberd. He said coldly to the people behind him: "Take the body down and bury it on the spot!"

Several foot soldiers immediately obeyed, while Zhao Chu continued to stride forward.

As we go deeper into the mountains, there are gradually more corpses of scouts on the roadside.

Their deaths varied, and in some cases nothing was left except a pile of dead bones and strips of cloth on the roadside.There will also be some wild animals gathered around the corpses of these scouts, such as hyenas and wolves.

But as long as they appear in Zhao Chu's field of vision, they are dead.

Even though these beasts have well-developed limbs and can dive into the grass in the blink of an eye, Zhao Chu can always kill them one by one.

However, when Zhao Chu and others went dozens of miles into the mountain, a thick snake suddenly blocked their way!

It was Zhou Bai.

And this time, he did not come alone. The hills and grass around the mountain road were already filled with eager beasts.

You must know that he is now the king of this hundred-mile mountain, with more than ten million beasts under his command.

Tigers, cheetahs, black bears, ferocious wolves, and giant turtles are all his soldiers.

Not to mention that there are countless snakes, insects, rats, ants and other unpredictable beasts in the mountains.

Of course, the most shocking thing among them was Zhou Bai's huge body.

When Zhao Chu saw Zhou Bai, he couldn't help being startled, and raised his hand to stop the troops.

Although the infantry behind him were also horrified by Zhou Bai and the beasts around him, they still followed Zhao Chu's words and put their shields in front of them to protect themselves.

Zhao Chu is a real soldier. If something stands in front of him, it is an enemy. Whether the enemy is a human being or not has no effect on him.

He drew the bow again, and the muscles in his arms bulged so high that he was about to burst the bow.

Whoosh!
The arrow made of fine iron shot through the air instantly, aiming directly at Zhou Bai's eyes.

Zhao Chu knew very well that to capture the thief first, capture the king. This arrow was so powerful that it almost didn't give Zhou Bai time to react before it was already in front of him.

However, Zhou Bai just tilted his head slightly, and the arrow struck his cheek.

The arrowhead collided with his scales, causing a series of sparks to fly out.

But Zhou Bai did not suffer any harm from this.

Then he raised his head and let out a long neigh, and all the beasts in the mountain roared in an instant. While the earth was shaking, these beasts also began to launch a fierce attack on Zhao Chu's camp.

Zhao Chu took the lead, used his halberd to fend off an oncoming tiger, and shouted loudly: "Send the order, the infantry retreat, protect the grain and baggage, the cavalry dismount, protect the horses, sprinkle insect repellent around, and the archers annihilate the enemy!"

It has to be said that Zhao Chu's ability to react on the spot was able to see snakes, insects, rats and ants interspersed among the large beasts in such a chaotic situation.

Compared with the powerful and deadly tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves, the attacks of these snakes, insects, rats and ants are more difficult to resist.

The messenger quickly passed on Zhao Chu's order.

At this time, the soldiers on the entire mountain road were surrounded by ferocious beasts, with no way out.

After the repellent was sprayed, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants did not dare to approach them anymore, but the large beasts still kept attacking their formation.

These anthelmintics dissipated over and over again under the trampling of beasts.

The soldiers could only spray medicine over and over again while resisting the impact of the beasts.

There is chaos on the mountain road!
At this time, Zhou Bai has already set his target on Zhao Chu, who is holding a big halberd and fighting non-stop!
This man's moves are deadly, and he can kill several people with just one swing of his big halberd.

And he is the core of these soldiers. If we don't get rid of him, these people will be as difficult to break down as iron barrels!
