The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 64: Guo Jia Must Be Captured
There are dead bodies all over the mountains and plains.

Yuan Xu walked down from the top of the mountain, black air still lingering around his body.

Gan Ning and Pang Tong stepped forward to meet them.

Holding the two heads, Gan Ning said to Yuan Xu with some annoyance: "The last general has insulted his mission and let Guo Jia, Xiahou Dun, and Xu Huang run away."

Yuan Xu glanced at the two heads: "Who are these two people?"

"I have already asked the captured Cao Jun. They are Xu Huang's generals Zhao Shu and Li Zou." Gan Ning raised the heads: "These two men fought against our army at Tianjing Pass. When I stopped me, I beheaded them."

"I'll give Xingba a credit." Yuan Xu didn't seem to care that Guo Jia and others escaped: "As long as our army is still advancing, we will encounter Guo Fengxiao again, and there will be more opportunities to make meritorious deeds."

"With this defeat, Guo Fengxiao probably won't fight our army in the wild again." Pang Tong said: "He may choose the nearest city to retreat."

Yuan Xu asked: "Where does Shi Yuan think he will go?"

"Hanoi is the only way to Xudu. Not far from Taihang Road is Huai County. I think he will prepare troops there and fight our army again."

"Decree." Yuan Xu ordered: "The three armies rest and reorganize, travel at night and stay at dawn, and advance to Huai County."

"Master, are you going to bring these dead bodies?" Yuan Xu ordered to walk at night and sleep overnight, and Pang Tong guessed his purpose.

"You have to look good when marching. Only when you are mighty and mighty can you have momentum." Yuan Xu said: "The more Guo Jia is afraid of something, the more I will let him see something."

In the battle of Taihangdao, Guo Jia ambushed Yuan Xu and burned countless dead bodies.

What exceeded his expectations was that Yuan Xu actually drove the corpses of wild beasts on the mountain to launch a surprise attack, so that his success failed.

Leading Cao Jun to withdraw from the Taihang Road, Guo Jia ordered a count of the number of people.

Of the tens of thousands of troops, only 5000 people were left in a state of embarrassment, and the rest either died in battle or fled without a trace.

"What should we do?" Xia Houdun asked him, "How can we stop Yuan Xianxin after losing so many people?"

"There are too many dead bodies in the wild." Guo Jia said: "No matter where he is, he can drive countless dead. We can only avoid being flanked by him inside and outside if we enter the city and stand firm, find all the corpses in the city and burn them."

"Where is Feng Xiao going?" Xu Huang asked.

"Yuan Xianxin took the Taixing way, the goal must be Xudu." Guo Jia replied: "Huai County is the only way he must pass, we will stop there."

"What if he bypasses Huai County?" Xu Huang asked worriedly.

"Then harass." Guo Jia replied: "He has an army of dead bodies, but we can make him walk unsteadily."

After deciding on the direction, the three of them led the remaining soldiers and horses straight to Huai County.

Cao Jun entered Huai County, and with the cooperation of local officials, they dug up all the tombs in the city.

They didn't even spare the dead chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, and all the corpses were sent outside the city to be burned.

In addition, Guo Jia also ordered the recruitment of civilian husbands to dig up all the graves outside the city.

All dead bodies that could be used by Yuan Xu were burned to ashes.

In the area of ​​Huai County, the fire of burning dead bodies shot up into the air, and a strong smell of burnt smell could be smelled from a long distance.

Yuan Xu occupied Taihang Road and did not stay there.

Every night, the army of dead corpses cleared the way, followed by the Taiyuan army, heading towards Huai County.

Taiyuan army scouts bring back news about Guo Jia at any time.

After confirming that Guo Jia had gone to Huai County, Yuan Xu said to Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan is really good at predicting things. He actually guessed that Guo Fengxiao was deploying defenses in Huai County."

"Not only that." Pang Tong replied: "He will also clean up all the dead bodies in the city, including the tombs outside the city."

"I brought so many dead bodies, why would I care about those outside the city?" Yuan Xu looked at the army of dead bodies in front of him: "Guo Fengxiao is really unnecessary."

"We must capture him as soon as possible, and kill him no matter how bad it is." Pang Tong said: "Before, he would fail because he did not understand the ability of the young master. Now that he knows more, it will not be so easy to deal with."

"Of course." Yuan Xu smiled coldly: "After entering Huai County, it will not be so easy for him to escape."

Gan Ning didn't ask for the lead anymore.

With his previous experience, he also knew that Yuan Xu would not let the soldiers of the Taiyuan Army go to die first.

The ones who take the lead must be the army of dead bodies!

Huai County is not far from Taihang Road, but within two or three days, Yuan Xu came outside the city.

There are traces of burning corpses everywhere outside the city, and the smell of burnt remains in the air.

"Guo Fengxiao's commotion is really not small." Yuan Xu looked at the Cao Jun battle flag fluttering on the top of the city: "If everyone is like him, it's hard to say that one day I will have no dead bodies to drive."

"So many people have died in these years, how can he burn them clean?" Pang Tong replied: "Guo Feng Xiaobai did these things. Only by cleaning up the dead in the city will it be of any use."

He then asked Yuan Xu: "Sir, do you want to attack the city?"

"Don't be busy yet." Yuan Xu replied: "Let the army of dead corpses line up outside the city, and attack the city tomorrow morning."

Pang Tong nodded.

He already understood what Yuan Xu meant.

The army came late at night and launched an attack on the city, which was not enough to deter the defenders on the city.

The vision is not clear at night, not a particularly close distance, and the appearance of the dead body cannot be seen clearly.

Attacking the city during the day, just the tattered appearance of the dead body is enough to make the defenders tremble with fear.

What's more, Cao Jun, who followed Guo Jia to fight on the Taihang Road, should still have lingering fears about the dead body.

After receiving the news of Yuan Xu's arrival, Guo Jia and others went to the top of the city.

Looking at the dense army outside the city, Xu Huang said, "Yuan Xianxin actually brought all the dead bodies here..."

"Feng Xiao has already made arrangements." Xiahou Dun interrupted: "Although he brought a lot of dead bodies, it is not easy to get close to the city wall."

Guo Jia didn't speak.

Looking out of the city, his face was solemn.

In just two days, it is hard to say whether the deployment will be effective.

"Commanders, prepare more rockets." After a long silence, Guo Jia opened his mouth to order: "Once Yuan Xianxin launches an attack, a fire must be lit outside the city."

Burning is the only way to deal with dead bodies at present.

When the military order was issued, Cao Jun began to prepare.

Before Yuan Xu came to Huai County, they had already prepared enough materials for defense, and all they had to do was prepare more arrows tied with tarpaulins.

Cao Jun was actively preparing for the battle, but Yuan Xu sat among the crowds of dead bodies.

He was surrounded by black energy, and he had been driving the dead since he came out of Taihang Dao.

If the undead summoning technique hadn't been upgraded to the second level, he couldn't bear it just to drive the dead for a long time.

Looking at the city wall of Huai County, Yuan Xu was thinking about what Moyin said to him a few days ago.

One day, the summoning of undead can be upgraded to level nine...

What is the way to achieve things that can't be done even by slaughtering the world?

He had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He always felt that his life would be full of ups and downs since he had the technique of summoning the dead.
