The walking corpse put the wooden box in front of Xu Qi'an and turned to leave.

"Click!"

Xu Qi'an put his fingertips on the copper lock, and the air engine replaced the key to let the lock tongue spring open.

When the wooden box was opened, he smelled the smell of antiseptic and insect proof powder. Inside the box was a roll of animal skin.

If we didn't deliberately use animal skin as the material, then the age of this map is more than 2000 years. In the Confucian era, the carrier of books was bamboo slips, and animal skins were more ancient than bamboo slips..... Xu Qi'an thought in his mind, and unfolded a half roll of animal skins.

After unfolding, we can see that this volume of map is torn from the middle and is the left half of a complete map...

The map drawing technique is very strange, full of twisted, irregular lines, a bit similar to the map of Xu Qi'an's last life.

There are no fonts except lines.

I remember when I was studying, the topographic map was also such a mess of lines..... Xu Qi'an looked at you Shi and said:

"has this map been deciphered?"

Of course, this volume of map can't be the same as the topographic map of the previous life.

You Shi shakes his head:

"my father studied it and thought that the lines in the picture symbolize the mountains and the earth, which only the magician can understand. And even if a warlock wants to find a corresponding area in mainland Kyushu, he is looking for a needle in a haystack. "

Because he could hardly find it, he made a happy deal with Xu Qian.

Anyway, if you stay in the corpse Gu department, you can only seal it up forever. In this case, it's better to exchange it for the ancient corpse and keep it in the tribe for a few days.

When you think of the perfect corpse, your heart beats faster and your blood boils.

Xu Qi'an's ear moved, and he heard the woman's groan deep in the yard suddenly loud and fierce.

He didn't care. He took out the coffin from the fragments of the book on the spot and put away the wooden box with half a volume of map.

"By the way, I advise you not to do strange things to it, so as not to be contaminated with cause and effect. Although I think the cause and effect of it has been completely eliminated. "

Xu Qi'an smiles to remind a way.

"You Shi" looked at him with his white pupil and said:

"there is an old saying in our department of corpses and insects that if you can't keep your desire, you can't make it.

"Anyone who has the hope of the fourth grade can resist the temptation of benminggu. Although we don't forbid this kind of thing, the people who go beyond the rules and regulations and the corpses are all incompetent

...... Xu Qi'an's face slowly became stiff.

"You Shi" didn't notice his abnormal face. He was absorbed in appreciating the ancient corpse and waved his hand:

"come on, don't disturb me."

......

when Xu Qi'an returned to Ligu department, the warm sun hung high. The time was three minutes in Chenshi. He first went back to the room and met Luo Yuheng.

The national master sits cross legged and practices. When he comes in, he opens his beautiful eyes and smiles. It's like a beautiful woman who loves to laugh in spring and flowers.

Oh, Xiaoxi... Xu Qi'an is relieved. Xiaoxi and Xiaoai are both positive personalities. They always look happy and have no negative emotions. They are willing to follow his meaning when they are practicing.

"It's nice to be in southern Xinjiang. The climate is warm and I'm very happy with the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers."

Luo Yuheng said with a smile.

"It's just that there are many mosquitoes. Last night, I helped the national teacher to shoot mosquitoes, and my buttocks were red."

Xu Qian said with a smile.

Luo Yuheng angry at him, a bit shy, but not angry, is still happy floating.

Then he looked at Xu Lingyin who was sleeping on the bed and asked:

"how did Lingyin come back here to sleep?"

Luo Yuheng said helplessly:

"not long after you left, she ran in and said that she suspected master Lina wanted to eat her. She came to you in fear, but you were not there."

...... Xu Qian pondered: "do you find bite marks on your wrist?"

Luo Yuheng nodded.

After Lingyin was promoted, her appetite increased significantly. When she returned to the capital, her aunt would cry..... Xu Qi'an didn't know how to evaluate her, so he had to pray for her in his heart.

On the third day, the soldiers of Xin Gu, Shi Gu, Li Gu and dark Gu were assembled.

Among them, there are five hundred flying beast troops of the heart Gu department, four hundred soldiers of the force Gu department, six hundred mature corpse controllers of the corpse Gu department, eight hundred elite of the shadow department, a total of two thousand three hundred Gu families, plus one thousand walking corpse puppets with strong fighting power.

The mighty team of more than 3000 members left Southern Xinjiang and went to Qingzhou.

It is worth mentioning that Lina's elder brother, Mo sang, is also in the team of Li Gu department.

And Lina herself plans to consolidate the power of Gu. After absorbing the Qi and blood of Gu God, she also goes north to Qingzhou to take part in the war and sharpen the way of Gu.

The Department of Li Gu is happy and worried about the 400 elite soldiers. The happiness lies in that the rations of these people will be handed over to Dafeng later. The elders secretly tell the young soldiers to go out to battle:"You can eat hard and eat the granary of the poor people in the Central Plains."

The worry is that after these people left, the hunting staff became scarce. Old people who used to only farm or did not work at all now have to roll up their sleeves and go hunting in the mountains.

......

late at night!

In the military tent ten miles away in Songshan County, Zhuo Haoran sat at the conference table. In front of him was a copper basin, in which was a freshly baked leg of lamb.

He took the leg of the lamb in his left hand and tore it hard. The long knife on his right hand was stained with blood.

On both sides of the table are the silent generals.

Just after the end of the first World War, Zhuo Haoran's Yunzhou army beat back the Dafeng garrison that attacked all night. Such attacks have happened from time to time in the past few days.

The generals took a sneak look at Zhuo Haoran, but they didn't dare to speak. The atmosphere in the army tent was stiff, only the sound of Zhuo Haoran biting his leg.

The five-day limit has long passed, and Songshan county has yet to take it down.

Not only did they fail to win, but the Yunzhou army suffered heavy losses.

Zhuo Haoran is a strong general with strong personal combat power and outstanding ability to lead troops. His strategy of attacking Songshan county is to organize the vagrant soldiers to consume the other side's shells, crossbows and arrows in the first three days.

And Jimu huoyou and other garrison armaments.

During this period, the experts were sent to stay among the refugees, waiting for an opportunity to climb the city wall and destroy the guns and crossbows.

This move has achieved remarkable results.

On the third day of the siege, the garrison had only two guns and one crossbow. It was difficult to make a general situation. It could only use wood, kerosene and archers to fight against the attacking Yunzhou army.

Seeing this, Zhuo Haoran immediately sent elite soldiers to attack the city.

However, when the elite infantry of the Yunzhou army rushed into the range of the artillery, the city suddenly burst into flames, bowstring thunderbolt, and the fierce fire directly confused the elite infantry.

After the siege failed, seven or eight hundred people were left behind and they retreated hastily.

Naxu had a batch of guns and crossbows on hand in the new year, but in the first three days, he could not bear to use them, even though the garrison was badly injured in the process.

From the four words of "merciful but not in charge of soldiers", Zhuo Haoran has to admit that that guy is a qualified leader.

The general said that the essence of war is to win at all costs.

Unable to make a hard attack in the front, Zhuo Haoran secretly divided his forces and let the elite soldiers attack from the dangerous peak in the south at night. As a result, he stepped on the traps all over the mountains and the deep pits with sharp stakes.

In addition to the master can break through the past, the soldiers suffered heavy losses.

Zhuo Haoran worried that Songshan County hadn't rained for more than half a month, and the mountains were dry, so he was likely to set the mountain on fire in the new year, so he gave up his plan to bypass the dangerous peak and attack the garrison.

On the night of the fourth day, the drum suddenly beat at the head of the city, and then the horse's hooves roared.

In the daytime, the siege failed. The exhausted Yunzhou Army thought that the enemy was attacking and led the army to fight. It turned out that the enemy was bluffing and there was no attack at all.

After several times in a row, Yunzhou army was exhausted.

At dawn, the drum at the head of the city sounded again, but the rebels in Yunzhou did not take it seriously. They only sent out scouts and a small number of people to check the situation.

As a result, he encountered 1000 light cavalry, and more than 2000 Yunzhou soldiers were killed and injured.

One third of the six thousand elite is lost.

On the fifth day, regardless of the loss, Zhuo Haoran forced to attack the city and came back in defeat. He and the garrison were both defeated.

But in the evening, the garrison did the same thing again, and the Yunzhou army could not bear to be disturbed.

Now it's the seventh day. The four thousand people of the refugee organization are dead and wounded, while the six thousand elite under Zhuo Haoran have only three thousand people left.

On the other side of the garrison, there are nearly 2000 people.

From the current comparison of the number of both sides, Songshan county is unable to win.

Zhuo Haoran swallowed his last bite of meat, swept the generals coldly, and said:

"let the soldiers have a good sleep, and there will be no more attacks tonight.

"Enough sleep, the city is broken at dawn!"

His expression is calm and self assured. It seems that dawn will surely break the city.

Miao Youfang and Zhu Jun led 500 cavalry to rush through the gate and return to the base camp.

"General Zhu, Erlang cooked cattle at the head of the city. How many drinks will he have?"

Miao Youfang's warm invitation.

Zhu Jun is a thin middle-aged man, silent, Songshan county's only four products, responsible for guarding the north gate.

It was because of his presence that Xu Erlang dared to let the cavalry attack the enemy camp, otherwise he would be killed.

He shook his head and said faintly:

"let Mr. Xu bring it to the north gate and drink."

After that, he took his subordinates and galloped away.

"Boring

Miao Youfang shakes his head, turns over, dismounts and climbs up the steps to the top of the city.

There was an iron pot on the horse path, and the soldiers were sitting around the pot eating meat.They have happy smiles on their faces, big mouthfuls of meat and high enthusiasm.

Miao Youfang looked at the excited faces of the soldiers and thought of the dialogue with Xu Erlang in the daytime.

Xu Erlang forcibly expropriated the cattle, dogs, chickens and ducks of the people in the county, rewarded the city guards with a small amount of rice.

Miao Youfang thought it was wrong at the beginning, and said that it was not plundering people's property in disguise.

But Xu Erlang told him that during the period of war, the interests of soldiers should always be put in the first place, followed by the people. Soldiers have been fighting for days, exhausted, and eating meat can boost morale.

As for the people, if they can't keep the city, their end will be even worse.

Miao Youfang now feels that what he said is really reasonable.

He went straight into the urn and saw Xu Erlang examine the map at his desk, frowning.

"Erlang, according to you, they should withdraw tomorrow."

"If there were no reinforcements, that would be true."

Xu Erlang looked up:

"but I think the reinforcements of Yunzhou rebels are coming."
