Chapter 1058 The Fire Is Out Again

Chapter 1058 The Fire Is Out Again

A night of catching ghosts was spent in Subei City.

At Yulan Pass City, General Qiu and his men saw torches again.

This time, the distance between the torches and the city gate was indeed closer.

Obviously getting closer.

"General, there seem to be more torches than in the previous few nights." Old Yu stood beside General Qiu and watched carefully for a while.

Although he couldn't count the torches clearly from such a distance, he remembered that there seemed to be three rows of torches last night, with about twenty torches in each row.

Although there are still three rows tonight, each row is a little longer, so it looks like there are about thirty of them.

If one torch represents one person, then the other side would probably be around a hundred people?

If it really was people, a hundred or so, they wouldn't seem to have anything to be nervous about.

There were originally about 600 guards at Yulan Pass. Now General Qiu has brought dozens of people here and occupied the city wall. There is no reason for him to be afraid of a hundred people.

But Lao Yu and the others are worried, that's really not human.

If so, what about a hundred ghosts?

This is completely different!

When Old Yu thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Prepare for war!"

General Qiu gave the order.

He had gathered the soldiers in the evening, and when he saw the situation, he immediately went into a state of readiness for battle.

"No matter if it's a human or a ghost, if they keep confusing us for several nights, we have to fight them!"

General Qiu held the knife and brought it with him.

Miss Lu said that he has a very strong evil aura, which most ghosts would be afraid of.

On the other hand, he doesn't have to be afraid of ghosts.

Therefore, as long as those ghosts dare to come over, he will chop three of them with one sword!

"Keep your morale up! Raise your spirits! You are the soldiers of the Great Zhou who protect the people. What are you afraid of?"

General Qiu's loud shout did make the hearts of the soldiers tremble, and then their morale was ignited.

"Kill anyone who invades Yulan Pass!" General Qiu shouted.

All the soldiers immediately followed suit and shouted in unison: "Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The sound was loud and could be heard from far away.

Under the torches, several tall men in fur coats heard the sounds.

They have deep eyes, high noses, and beards, and look like foreigners.

In front of them, there were about thirty people, ten in a row, each carrying a bamboo pole with a few torches clamped on it.

There were only about thirty people, but they made it look like there were nearly a hundred people.

They were all wearing black clothes, with their heads, faces and noses covered, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Even with torches, one couldn't see their figures clearly from a distance.

"Brother, why don't they fall for it?"

A man frowned and asked the tallest man next to him.

"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that those Da Zhou soldiers we bribed betrayed us?"

They bribed several soldiers guarding the city by promising huge profits.

As long as those few people instigate and say some suggestive words, Lieutenant General Li and others will definitely believe that they are ghosts.

With so many ghosts trying to attack Yulan Pass, aren’t those soldiers afraid?

As long as they are afraid, hide, dare not defend the city, and dare not fight, they can approach the city gate little by little, and then find an opportunity, and have the soldiers of the Great Zhou quietly open the city gate and let them in.

After entering, they used poison.

In this way, they could capture Yulan Pass City without much effort and without casualties.

"They don't dare. We have caught them. If they don't help us, and we tell General Qiu what they did, General Qiu won't let them off."

There are always people who can't follow the rules.

It took them a lot of effort to find those people.

"Then this is..."

"The arrow shot last night had amazing arm strength. I think it was General Qiu of Subei of the Great Zhou who rushed to Yulan Pass City."

"Will those people reveal their true colors?"

And then he was caught by General Qiu?

"Then what should we do? Brother, the weather is too cold. If we can't capture Yulan Pass, we won't be able to survive."

These foreigners chattered a lot.

But now they really don't dare to attack the city like this.

Because they don't have many people who can fight now, the tribe is about to choose a new leader. If a group of young and middle-aged people in the tribe die in this siege, the eldest brother will definitely not be able to continue to be re-elected as the leader.

The leader's eyes darkened.

"If there is really no other way, we can only agree to cooperate with those people and really attack the city with them."

"But those people's methods are so weird..."

Those people seemed to be able to turn living people into irrational, speechless puppets.

They said that if they attacked Yulan Pass, they could turn the six hundred Great Zhou soldiers into puppets, and then they would not report that Yulan Pass had been occupied.

This place is so far away from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as the news is not sent to the capital, the emperor will not know.

And they can occupy the Yulan Pass City openly, live there, rest and recuperate after this difficult winter, and then make plans in the spring to gradually occupy Subei City and then Shuning City.

In this way, they occupied the cities in Subei of the Great Zhou little by little.

These aliens thought the other party's plan and methods were terrible, and they didn't want to cooperate with them at first.

"Brother, if they turn us all into puppets..."

"We have already drunk the blood pact and are following the high priest. The high priest is protecting us. Those people have no way to harm us."

The leader said confidently, "Why else do you think they would negotiate with us? Because we are following the high priest!"

"But they also want the Great Zhou, and our high priest also wants the Great Zhou. Can we still cooperate?"

"This is just a temporary cooperation, and it may not last long. Let's get through this first, and then we'll listen to the High Priest's arrangements in the future."

"Then let's go back and talk to those people again? We must get more benefits."

"Of course."

The leader waved his hand and said, "Retreat!"

Dozens of people immediately swung their bamboo poles, and something on them extinguished the torches at the same time.

Then they turned around and left quietly, while some of them retreated while clearing away all traces.

On the city wall, Lao Yu and others widened their eyes again.

"General, the fire is out again!"

"Why are they gone again?"

"What the hell is going on? Is it really a ghost? Is it just here to play tricks on us?"

Now the soldiers feel that the other side is not human.

General Qiu didn't believe it.

But he felt that things might be more serious than he thought.

"Open the city gate! This general will go out and check it out now!"

Can’t wait until tomorrow!

We must go out and check immediately. We cannot give the other party a chance to erase all traces.
