The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 165
It is much more convenient for the undead to detect the traces of the ambush than the scouts.

Before the sun set, Yuan Xu already knew where Cao Ren and the others were hiding.

On the surface, he didn't make any countermeasures, just took out the ghost piano and played it leisurely.

Since he was playing a tune that no one was familiar with, no one suspected that he was summoning a murderous corpse.

Crouching in the dark, looking at Yuan Xu playing the piano from a distance, Xia Houyuan was a little worried: "He is playing the piano again, is he going to summon the murderous corpse?"

"I don't think so." Cao Ren replied, "Every time Yuan Xianxin summons the corpse, the tune he plays is almost the same. This tune has never been heard before, so it shouldn't be..."

As he was speaking, he felt the ground beneath him tremble violently.

"What's going on?" Cao Hong, who also felt the ground trembling, asked.

Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan were also in a daze, completely unaware of what happened.

The ground trembled for a moment, then returned to silence.

"Perhaps the ground trembled." Cao Ren, whose heart hung in his throat, breathed a sigh of relief: "In my impression, Yuan Xianxin has not yet had the ability to make the ground tremble."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook again.

"Soldiers, watch out for trees and falling rocks," Cao Ren ordered.

As soon as the order was issued, before the dormant [-] Cao army had time to respond, a long dragon suddenly sprang out from the ground.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a long dragon.

Although it is very long and has the shape of a dragon, it is just a skeleton with no flesh and blood at all.

After the skeleton "long dragon" appeared, it circled twice above Cao Jun's head, and then jumped down.

It walked back and forth among Cao Jun, and whenever it encountered Cao Jun standing in front of it, it would open its mouth and bite fiercely.

At the same time, its tail will not be idle, and a whole piece of Cao Jun is swept away by the huge dragon tail.

"There's only one monster, and it's just a bone." Xia Houyuan shouted, "Crush it to pieces!"

Crowds of Cao Jun rushed forward.

Cao Jun knew very well that retreating at this time was no different from courting death.

As long as you are stared at by this long dragon and want to escape from him, you may not have it at all.

The dragon was being besieged, and Cao Jun pointed to the forest and shouted in horror: "In the forest, corpses, corpses of wild beasts!"

Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong looked over and saw groups of skeletons of wild beasts appearing in the forest.

These beasts include mountain leopards, wild boars, wild wolves and so on.

After they appeared, they first watched from a distance.

It wasn't until Cao Jun discovered their existence that he sped up and pounced on them.

Cao Jun was desperate, and the earlier plan hadn't been implemented in time, so Yuan Xu drove the wild beasts in the mountains to deal with them.

"What should I do?" Xia Houyuan yelled at Cao Ren as he chopped down a dead wolf that was rushing up.

Cao Ren replied: "I don't know either! There are too many dead beasts, and it is impossible for us to kill them!"

Xia Houyuan didn't ask him any more, and he chopped with all his strength with his big knife.

Outside Shouchun City, Yuan Xu and others heard the sound coming from the mountains.

"There are really people in ambush." ​​Yuan Tan looked at the place where the voice came from: "Xianxin can not only drive the murderous corpses, but also predict things like a god, which is really admirable."

"What is there to admire?" Yuan Xu replied with a smile: "These are all things that should be expected."

"Xianxin can think of it, but I can't think of it." Yuan Tan said: "Who would have known that when the army came to Shouchun, Cao Cao didn't want to stick to it, so he reduced his defenders and ambushed outside the city?"

"To deal with me, he must use a different strategy." Yuan Xu said: "It is a dead end for him to stick to Shouchun. I brought very few guards, and he also thinks that it is not possible to drive murderous corpses anytime and anywhere. So he will think Let these ambush soldiers attack me suddenly while I am asleep, or when I am not using spells. Everything is exactly as he expected, and we will really have a lot of trouble."

"Cao Cao is really vicious." Yuan Tan clenched his fist and said, "Fortunately, it was Xian Xin who met him. If it were someone else, he might have found his way."

Ever since he recognized Yuan Xu's identity as the Lord of Hebei, every time Yuan Tan talked to him, he meant flattering.

Yuan Xu didn't say anything, just smiled lightly, raised his hand and waved.

The tide of murderous corpses moved forward, heading towards the city wall of Shouchun.

On the top of the city, Cao Cao shouted: "Prepare kerosene and rockets, shoot them for me!"

The rocket's damage to the corpse is actually not very great.

To exterminate the murderous corpses, there must be a strong enough fire, just relying on a small fire from the rocket, it cannot burn them to ashes.

The murderous corpse pushed forward, and it was almost at the place where the big hole was dug.

Cao Cao was about to order the arrows to be released, but Xun You stopped him: "My lord, don't worry, wait for more corpses to fall into the ditch."

Xun You didn't agree to release the arrow immediately, so Cao Cao could only suppress his temper for the time being.

The fierce corpses at the front fell into the ditch, and the ones behind continued to jump into the ditch.

Vicious corpses are not afraid of battle, and they also have a big disadvantage, that is, they have no ability to think.

Apart from moving forward, the murderous corpse has almost no other thoughts.

There was a ditch in front of it, and the piles of murderous corpses continued to move forward.

More and more murderous corpses fell down.

Cao Cao said anxiously to Xun You: "If you don't shoot the arrows, you may not be able to light the fire later."

"My lord, it's fine." Xun You finally let go.

"Quick, shoot the arrows and kill them with rockets!" Cao Cao shouted.

The soldiers of Cao Jun who stretched their bows and set their arrows loosened their bowstrings one after another, and countless arrows flew towards the advancing corpse.

Arrows were shot at the murderous corpse, and many flames were still burning.

As the murderous corpse shot by the rocket fell into the ditch, the kerosene and dry firewood dumped in the ditch in advance were instantly ignited.

The flames jumped up, and the entire trench became a sea of ​​flames.

Even so, the vicious corpse continued to move forward.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Tan reminded Yuan Xu: "Xianxin, stop for a while, at least wait until the fire is extinguished."

"It's still what the elder brother said." Yuan Xu stopped the murderous corpse's advance.

The murderous corpse that had fallen into the ditch was still trying to climb up at first.

When Yuan Xu raised his hand to stop the corpse's movement, they actually stood obediently in the fire without moving.

The fire engulfed the corpses in the ditch.

A murderous corpse fell down.

Looking at what was happening, Yuan Xu had no expression on his face.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan also stood beside him.

The murderous corpses fell into the ditch and were being eroded by the flames, but Yuan Xu didn't seem to intend to do anything at all, just let them be burned by the fire.

"My lord." Zang Ba asked Yuan Xu, "Aren't you going to bring those murderous corpses up?"

"Get it up?" Yuan Xu replied, "The ditch is quite deep, how can I get it done?"

Zang Ba didn't know how to respond.

The ditch Cao Jun dug outside Shouchun City was indeed very deep, and the corpses that fell into it could only be swallowed by the fire, and there was no way to come up.
