Lu Yike told me that the Yin soldiers in Luo Matan had a limited time each time. Generally speaking, it was about five hours, and they would disappear when the rooster crows.
So in order to catch up, we had to speed up!
Fortunately, the distance was not too far. We ran all the way and were covered in mud and water. Our waists were sore and our legs were weak. We were like noodles and couldn't stand.
At this time, the shouting of killing was extremely clear, the sound shook the night sky, and it was terrifying enough just to hear it. No wonder, even from a distance of hundreds of miles, in the dead of night, even people in Shigu Village Can hear clearly.
A few of us hid in the grass. In order to prevent the Yin soldiers from discovering us, I even put a talisman on everyone's body to block the Yang energy, and crawled all the way forward in the muddy water. Although it is already autumn at this time, there are still a lot of bugs in the mountains, especially in the grass. Once you dig in, you will be covered with them immediately. It is disgusting and uncomfortable, but you can only bite the bullet and endure it. It took a lot of effort from the boss to finally get to the front.
Pushing aside the grass, I secretly looked outside. When I saw it, it didn't matter. What I saw outside made me tremble!
In front of Luo Ma Beach, all the dark soldiers were dressed as ancient soldiers! ! !
These Yin soldiers have gathered into 100-man phalanxes and are practicing. The infantry has assembled fifteen 100-man phalanxes, which means there are more than 1,500 Yin soldiers fighting on foot. There were also cavalry galloping crazily on the shoal. The cavalry horses had no yang energy at all, and there was no white air on their noses. They obviously couldn't breathe. They were clearly just a group of horse spirits!
For a moment, the people on Luo Ma Beach were shouting and shouting, and the momentum was amazing!
There is no doubt that these Yin soldiers are definitely Song soldiers. They wear bamboo hats and the style of the armor they wear is obviously the cold-forged armor that was only equipped on a large scale during the Song Dynasty. Their appearance and dress are exactly the same as those of the Song army in history, and their equipment is equivalent Sophisticated. After all, the Song Dynasty was famous for its wealth throughout Chinese history. The soldiers and equipment at that time were naturally unparalleled. They were stronger than the armies of the Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that the Song Dynasty has been following the path of emphasizing civility and suppressing military power since Zhao Kuangyin released his military power. At that time, the northern nomads were unprecedentedly powerful, so the Song Dynasty could not withstand the attack of the northern nomads, and finally perished and was buried. The high-quality ancient civilization of the Han people was lost.
Not surprisingly, the current batch of Yin soldiers should be the same batch of soldiers led by General Zhongshidao when he died in the battle, because I heard the old lady Bian Hui from Shigu Village say that Zhongshidao starts from Tumen Pass. After withdrawing, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers around, which is completely consistent with the current number of Yin soldiers!
This posture is a bit scary!
At least I couldn't help but shudder after reading it!
This batch of Yin soldiers seems to be different from the Rouran Yin soldiers I met last time. The eyes of those Rouran Yin soldiers were dull, and they were still in the Yang world with their violent fighting spirit in life, but the current batch of Yin soldiers... They practiced together, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, clearly retaining the wisdom they had during their lifetimes! ! !
If this is the case, then things will be troublesome...
I gasped slightly, catching the figure of Master Zhong among these shady soldiers, and soon my eyes were fixed on an old general.
This old general has a fluttering white beard and sword-shaped eyebrows. He is indescribably majestic. He is wearing a pair of foot armor unique to the Song Dynasty. At first glance, he is a man of amazing courage!
The Buren armor is probably the heaviest armor in Chinese history. It is made of iron armor leaves connected with leather strips or nails. It is a typical Zha armor. Its protection range covers the whole body. In terms of protection range, it is the Chinese armor closest to European heavy armor, but it does not reach the airtight level of protection of European heavy armor. According to records in some historical books, the weight of this thing can reach nearly sixty kilograms, which is much heavier than European chain armor, which only weighs thirty kilograms. The European Gothic style in the 15th century A full-body armor weighs only forty pounds, so the weight of Buren armor in the Song Dynasty had reached a terrifying level.
It should be noted that because the physical constitution of the yellow race is incomparable to that of the white race, the armor weighing 60 kilograms is truly unique in history. However, there is nothing that can be done about it. During the Song Dynasty, the nomadic people were unprecedentedly powerful and held back. Over the years, a series of geniuses such as Genghis Khan were suppressed, and they went south to attack cities and territories with all their strength. The Song Dynasty's cavalry was not good enough, so they could only increase the combat power of the infantry, so they came up with this kind of full-body armor. At the beginning, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others The people relied on infantry and heavy armor to defeat the cavalry of the ethnic minorities.
General Zhong Shidao, who was already over 70 when he died in battle, could still wear this human armor. I can only say - amazing!
Staring at these Yin soldiers, I still feel a little bitter in my heart. If I encounter these Yin soldiers, I may not feel as good as the last time. These Yin soldiers are no better than those Rouran Yin soldiers. They are smart and know how to cooperate. , fighting with them is no different from fighting with living people. In just these two moments, I'm afraid I will be finished soon!
At this time, I suddenly noticed something strange about Zhang Bowen next to me. I turned around and saw that this guy was scratching his body and grinning. After a while, he reached into his crotch and grabbed a scorpion, and pressed it on the ground. He was crushing his fingers and said to me in a low voice: "Xiaotian, think of a way quickly. If we stay here all night, we will be bitten into a hornet's nest? That will be really hard!"
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, do you think I don't want to? But if you move blindly now, you will easily be discovered by those Yin soldiers. If you encounter such Yin soldiers, you can only secretly investigate whether the people in Shigu Village were taken away by these Yin soldiers. If you are discovered, there will be There is no life in death, so I gave a few people around me a look - just hold on, wait until daybreak!
In this way, we burrowed in the grass all night. Needless to say, we were tortured by the insects in the mountains. It was past four o'clock and we were all numb from the mud and water. Those who were practicing on Luomatan The Yin soldiers finally retreated, with the cavalry in front and the infantry following in an orderly manner.
After waiting for those Yin soldiers to disappear, the few of us climbed up from the grass. After swatting the bugs off our bodies, I gritted my teeth and said in a deep voice: "Follow me!"
In fact, I also have doubts in my heart - these Yin soldiers obviously retained their intelligence during their lifetime. It is not like they did what happened in Shigu Village. They fought to the end for the Song Dynasty. They should be some upright righteous soldiers. No. As for harming the common people after death?
It's just that the nature of ghosts is unpredictable. Even if a person retains his memory when he becomes a ghost after death, it is mostly due to dissatisfaction and resentment he encountered during his life, which cannot be judged by common sense. After all, these Yin soldiers died unjustly in the first place. The Jin soldiers went south to attack Tumen Pass. If Song Huizong had been willing to send troops to support Tumen Pass, Tumen Pass would not have been lost, and they would not have died in this place, so they must have died with resentment!
No matter what, we still have to investigate. Now this is our only clue. I am still a little unwilling to not investigate. I can't just give up on the thirty or forty women in Shigu Village, right?
A group of four of us chased after the group of Yin soldiers in the direction they left, passed through a dense forest, and finally came to a gloomy valley. Then the Yin soldiers disappeared after entering the small valley.
I was shocked when I saw how gloomy the valley was. I found a higher place and looked at the overall terrain, and my heart sank - this was clearly a dark place! !
As mentioned before about the underworld, due to various geographical reasons, the place where the sun does not shine is the underworld. If you cannot bury such a place, big things will happen in the future. It is also the most suitable place for ghosts to stay!
After waiting outside the valley for more than ten minutes, until all the footsteps in the valley disappeared, we finally followed.
This valley is not big, only a few hundred meters to the end. After entering, I didn't find anything unusual, only a cave!
Next to the cave are written these few characters - Tomb of General Zhongshidao!
I frowned immediately.
Cave burial?
Thinking about some information about cave burials, I vaguely guessed that the reason why these Yin soldiers could maintain their consciousness during life was probably because they were in this cave.
