Chapter 313 Guarding the City
Buy and buy thousands of good furs this time, ready to make a lot of money in Chang'an! This time, I was lucky enough to meet the Tang army's escort envoy. As long as I followed them with the camel team, I even saved the money to hire those turtle warriors.
Who knows if those turtle warriors are the spies of bandits. His brother-in-law hired them and died on the way to the Tang Dynasty!
Damn sandstorm! Seeing that the Yumen was about to close, but I met it in the damn place of Loulan! These Tang troops are really barbaric. Isn't it just a sandstorm? If you surround the camels, you can pass safely. But this sandstorm is really big!
Let the buyer lose the goods! It's impossible to kill and buy! This is all my savings. If I lose it, what will my wife and children do? Shit, the camel team can't close it! That damn head...
Da Damn it! The sandstorm swallowed the most precious fur of the camel! Buy a horse and hit the striker who rushed into the sandstorm...
The scene in front of him scared Mai Maiti to the ground, and a group of invisible evil spirits ran over in the sand and dust! More than a dozen zombies rushed in front of him and jumped on his camel! The beast didn't have time to hiss. In an instant, it was swallowed by the dry zombies and shrank into a dry corpse.
I don't want to die! Maimai turned his head and shouted while running, wanting to remind the people in front of him to run! But your feet are like lead, and you can't wipe your feet away. A horrible-faced fierce soul rushed down, smiled strangely at Buyiti, and plunged his head into his mouth and nose!
At a speed visible to the naked eye, he was quickly sucked out his flesh and blood, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in dry skin, fell to the ground, and then disappeared by the hurricane...
............
Zhang Fan stood in the highlands outside the city, looking at the caravan chased by the sandstorm with binoculars, being dragged into the sandstorm, sighed, and rushed into the city...
"Tang soldiers, listen to my order!" Zhang Fan shouted as he ran, "Fighten a defensive formation and protect the envoys!"
The messenger immediately issued an order, and the 1,500 Tang army immediately crowded the messengers and officials into the large building in the center of the city, and then let the caravans that had run into the ancient city hide into the houses in the city. He raised his shield and defended himself on the periphery.
A series of yellow light lit up from the Tang army in the formation, blocking several passages of the ancient city!
Zhang Fan was still worried. He recited a spell all the way, sprinkled a layer of golden light, and added another guarantee! Relying on the ancient city, he launched the newly learned war skill 'City Guard'! Raise the defense of the Tang army in defense to another level!
Hundreds of long guns emerged from the cracks of the shield, and the golden light of the Tang army's formation shines, like a long dragon full of scales and thorns, which protects the ancient city!
Business travelers who knew the reality of the sandstorm one after another, left their goods, ran into the city desperately, and were accepted by the Tang army! But the continuous sandstorm has approached the ancient city, and more than 100 business travelers have no time to run into the city. Together with hundreds of camels and horses, in front of Tang Jun, they were dragged into the sandstorm by the evil spirits and zombies in the sandstorm and turned into mummies in a blink of an eye!
After the battle, Tang Jun only saw the cracks, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out! The hands holding the shield turned white because of the force.
The black and yellow sandstorm, mixed with horrible hiss, swallowed up the ancient city! It's like a mountain-like huge spiny roller, crushing the ancient city! It was like a huge beast that bit the ancient city into its huge mouth like a walnut. It was about to bite the walnut hard and taste the sweet flesh and blood inside!
Countless mummified skeletons shouted and crashed into the Tang army formation crazily, like a black-gray wave, hitting the golden dyke! But those mummified corpses were washed away by the light and scattered into ashes! A group of mummified skeletons could not break through under the solid defense of the Tang army. They were scattered on the shield, turned back into sand and dust, and were rolled into the sky!
There are countless flying grievances in the sandstorm roaring down! But it also can't break through the defensive golden light of the Tang army formation, and it even howls into blue smoke in the golden light!
Zhang Fan's 'Six King Kong Curse' has the ability to surpass evil spirits!
Business travelers and officials hiding in the broken house in the city have already trembled with fear, huddled in the corner and kept praying.
Zhang Fan closed his eyes and silently recited the spell. A mass of golden light pulsed from him like breathing and spread it around! Golden Buddha light, stained with people or camel horses, and even house beams, shield weapons, have stained them with a layer of gold! When you encounter the mummified corpse skeleton in the sandstorm, the evil ghost resentment is to turn it into green smoke and ashes!
Dust to dust, earth to earth!
But the sandstorm seems to cover the ancient city endlessly, and those evil spirits and grievances are endless, rotting and succeeding! Tang Jun seemed to be numb, and the hiss gradually turned into a call, faintly summoning them in...
Zhang Fan is also exhausted, and his willingness is like sand in his hand. If he falls, the morale of the Tang army will be lost, and his own skill blessing will also disperse. These thousands of lives are like this ancient Loulan, submerged in the sand sea!
At this time, the Buddha light emitted by Zhang Fan's body spread in the ancient city, but it was stained with a building in the east of the city. It is a pile of conical buildings more than ten meters high, with some paintings left on them, but they are old and eroded by the wind and sand, which is no longer visible.
But after Zhang Fan's Buddha light was infected, the huge conical building also emitted golden Buddha light and pulsed with Zhang Fan's breathing! Those already damaged color drawings became clear and outlined golden lines. Those patterns are actually a Buddha and Bodhisattva, the statue of King Kong flying in the sky!
This building is actually a pagoda! The painting above is the faith totem worshipped by the ancient Loulan residents!
The golden Buddha light stimulated from the pagoda went back to Zhang Fan, poured into Zhang Fan's body, and immediately replenished his willingness. What's more, the pagoda itself emits a brilliant Buddha light and goes straight to the han!
The Buddha's light burst through the dark sandstorm sky in one fell swoop, and the whole ancient city was painted with a layer of gold. The Tang soldiers suddenly woke up and their morale was greatly boosted.
He shouted in unison: "The Tang Dynasty will win!" The blood-red hundred battle lights came from the body of the Tang army, and cooperated with the Buddha light to rush the evil ghosts and mummified corpses in front of them into flying ash!
From a distance, I saw a sudden golden light in the black and yellow sandstorm, like the walnut in the mouth of the giant beast, turned into a huge grenade, exploding with a golden shock wave, blowing up the sandstorm composed of the ghost!
The sandstorm came quickly and went faster. In a blink of an eye, the sky was clear and the sunset shone, as if everything had just been a nightmare illusion! However, the mummified corpses of hundreds of merchants and camels outside the city clearly reminded everyone how horrible this territory is!
The soldiers and business travelers for the rest of their lives after the disaster breathed a long sigh of relief, and the leading lieutenants began to deploy in the ancient city under the order of Zhang Fan. Prevent possible strange attacks.
And those merchants, timid tears and crying, and some were also bold, probed their heads, went out of the city, and began to clean up the goods blown away by the sandstorm, as well as food and water bags.
Zhang Fan sent 300 Tang troops to help merchants collect supplies, which cannot be missing in the desert. Order them to return to the city before the sun sets! I don't know what else will happen to this strange ancient city ruins!
Zhang Fan contacted Aken and Green Wing, but there was still no news. Although I was anxious, I was not confused, because my public space had not shrunk, indicating that the two partners did not die!
So Zhang Fan came to the pagoda in the east of the city and prayed. Then he ordered a team of Tang soldiers to clean up the pagoda and guard it. Except for Buddhists who can come to worship, idle people should not be harassed!
Then, Zhang Fan walked around the city and measured the length and width of the ancient city. He knew that this relic was the lost ancient city Loulan. It's just that it's the Tang Dynasty now. According to more than 1,200 years, it is relatively well preserved!
Zhang Fan stood at the head of the city and looked at the merchants and Tang soldiers who came back from packing up the scattered goods and supplies. He sighed in his heart. It seemed that tonight was a sleepless night!
"Choose the essence from business travel and let them help guard the ancient city!" Zhang Fan ordered his own soldiers.
"Ye!" A personal guard took the order.
For a while, the city was in chaos. The merchants were very afraid that the Tang army would use them as cannon fodder, and they were even more afraid of those undead ghosts and horrible damage! However, there are lieutenants who are good at boosting morale and talk about the greatness of the matter. If everyone does not contribute, the Tang army can't defend the ancient city, and everyone's casualties will be more difficult to avoid. Zhang Fan also used Buddhism to soothe everyone's emotions.
The recruitment work went smoothly. These Western Regions Hu merchants and Hu followers are used to the long road, have good physical fitness, and have some self-defense skills. Some Hu merchants are retired soldiers and good bandits!
Now is a very moment. There are not so many men in the Western Regions who are not so pretentious. If they can have some martial arts, they are all on! More than a thousand elites were selected, assigned them to the Tang army infantry, assigned weapons, and rotated to rest on duty. Fortunately, some of the caravans sold steel knives in the Western Regions, and some of them were originally armed with blades. In addition, the soldiers of the Tang army were equipped with several weapons, and some long guns were uniform and assigned to these civilians.
Half of these civilian armed forces and the shield soldiers of the Tang army blocked the two gaps in the north and south walls, and the other half went up to the wide wall to cooperate with archers to defend the head of the city. The Tang cavalry ambushed in the city, waiting for the opportunity to attack!
These zombie skeletons in the sandstorm do not seem to be strong, but there are too many! And it seems that there are not many attacks that mainly rely on biting and sucking spiritual flesh and blood. But just under the protection of the formation, everyone was not hurt. If there are any weird attacks tonight, there is no other kinds of ghosts or other attacks.
