Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 138 Recruitment
After the sunrise, although Hua Xiong's skeleton soldiers felt a little uncomfortable under the sunlight, they were not as weak as the Lich recorded, and their actions were seriously affected.It seems that time travel also has the benefits of time travel, at least not subject to the laws of light and darkness in other worlds.

So the two proceeded according to the original plan, ordering Hua Xiong to continue chasing Li Cui with an army of skeletons, while Liu Bian himself and Li Su led two thousand undead soldiers to turn around and walk halfway from Luoyang City. Go to Xingyang in the past to form a situation of encirclement.

Dong Zhuo led an army of 20 troops with Lu Bu to Hulao Pass to deal with the various princes, and there were Liu, Guan and Zhang in the army of the princes. Dong Zhuo was bound to lose. This ending has already been set in history, so Liu Bian is desperately attacking Dong Zhuo at this time. All the vital forces under him are to prevent changes.

According to Liu Bian's estimation, after the ambush at Sishui Pass and the suppression he had just done, even if Li Kuo and Guo Si joined forces with horses and infantry, there would be only 4000 soldiers left at most. To say the least, it is not very useful to fight against the allied forces of the princes, but it is more than enough to deal with any other small princes with weaker forces along the way.

Before leaving, Liu Bian naturally would not let go of the newborn souls gathered all over the sky, and then the soul-gathering technique started, transforming all the thousands of souls that Li Cui had killed into dead soul fires, about [-] or so, Save it for later use.

Judging from the performance of those skeleton soldiers last night, although they are not as good as the undead soldiers, they are only a little weaker than ordinary soldiers. Two people fight one is a complete victory, which is better than the skeletons in the Lich's memory. Being cannon fodder is much stronger.The most important thing is that the appearance of the skeleton soldiers is born with an inexplicable fear and deterrence, coupled with the leadership of the headless horseman, it makes people dare not resist, so Liu Bian was relieved to send Hua Xiong alone with a group of soldiers. Thirteen thousand skeletons went after the thirty thousand army.Even if they really can't fight, as long as Hua Xiong is alive, these skeleton soldiers can be summoned at any time, which is not a pity.

Following the return from the original road, it took less than half a day to arrive at the village where the grain and grass carried by Li Kuo and Guo Si were accumulated. It is a pity that Liu Bian is short of manpower now, otherwise although more than half of the grain and grass are no longer edible, these weapons Things like armor can be transported to Hongnong City, enough to arm more than 1 people.

Liu Bian sighed and shook his head, and when he was about to leave, Li Su drove his horse to him, pointed to the village and said, "Why don't your highness order each of these soldiers to wear a pair of weapons and armor, and wait until we reach Xingyang?" , You can recruit young militiamen on the spot to defend the city, after all, these soldiers have a lot of doubts, if they get along with ordinary people for a long time, they will inevitably be seen through."

Hearing what he said, Liu Bian also thought it was good, so he agreed.After thinking about it, he moved out all the grain and grass that was not infected by the plague cloud from the grain and grass, and resurrected ten undead war horses on the spot based on the horses that originally pulled the cart, to pull the grain and grass.

He still remembered what Yu Jiyan said about the lack of food in Hongnong City, and the food could more or less play a role.As for those infected by the plague cloud, Liu Bian originally planned to burn them on fire so as not to endanger others.But he and Li Su were the only two living people in his army. Whoever brought flint and velvet could not make a fire at all, so he had to let them stay in the village, but unexpectedly they helped Liu I'm doing a big favor, I won't mention it for later.

Ten carriages, [-] undead soldiers, plus Tiangou, Li Su and Liu Bian arrived in Xingyang County in the afternoon and stationed themselves outside the city.

A day's running around was nothing to Liu Bian's strong physique, but Li Su couldn't do it. He hadn't eaten food for another day. Li Su was already so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, and he couldn't sit still on the undead horse.

Xingyang County was originally a small city with few people, and due to the plague and natural disasters, it has basically become an abandoned city, not even as good as the original Hongnong City, where people are desolate, and people who are starving to the ground can be seen faintly.

The city wall is low and short, and the city gate has long been tattered and useless, far less magnificent than the repaired Hongnong City.

Liu Bian felt a little disappointed, no wonder Dong Zhuo gave up this place and didn't send soldiers to guard it. Based on this appearance, it is better to line up at the gate of the city and fight each other, there is no danger to defend.

But now that they are here, let's take the opportunity to rectify it. Anyway, Li Su estimates that Li Kuo and Guo Si must flee in this direction.As long as I control their route to Luoyang, they can only flee Hongnong in defeat.

"Your Highness, this..." Li Su got off his horse and came to him, looking at the desolate appearance of Xingyang in front of him, he said with a wry smile: "The general really doesn't know that Xingyang has turned into this kind of appearance. Seeing that there are few people inside, there must be not many people left, how about The young general went to find two women to light a fire and cook for His Highness, and try to see if he could recruit soldiers."

When it came to lighting a fire and cooking, Liu Bian felt hunger pangs in his stomach. Although he was the master of undead creatures, he was not an undead creature himself. He still had to eat and drink to replenish his strength with food.It seems that I may have to find a few people like Li Su to command, pass orders or handle daily life for me, otherwise it will be really troublesome.

Li Su led ten undead soldiers into the city immediately, and Liu Bian also ordered the soldiers to unload the armor and food on the ground for later processing, and at the same time put the undead horses aside.

The Tengu on the side had put away its ferocious appearance, and its size had shrunk a lot. It quietly followed behind Liu Bian, about the size of an ordinary snow wolf.Everything else is okay, but the tail is extremely weird, with spots on it, it is directly a tiger's tail, but it is constantly wagging like a dog's tail, which looks a little funny.

Not long after, Li Su led a hundred and ten men and women to come here. When they saw that there was indeed food, they couldn't help cheering, but they were afraid of the pressure of the two thousand undead soldiers and dared not go forward.

Liu Bian stepped forward and looked, and saw that most of these people were young men and women in their 30s and [-]s, all of them were sallow and emaciated, and looked malnourished.At this time, everyone's face was full of fear, and there were even a few traces of joy and hope hidden in it.

"Your Highness, after the young general's inquiry just now, all the people left in this city after the plague are these young and middle-aged people. Among them, there are about 4000 men and 3000 women, and there are basically no old and weak people. If Your Highness is willing, you can send These [-] men were gathered into soldiers, and as for the women," Li Su said coldly, "It's useless to keep them, it's not a waste of food to raise them in this war-torn year, it's better to throw them away!"
